PARKER MEN
Shut Out Hearst in Tex
as.

San Antonio, Texas, June 20.-The
state convention to select delegates at
large to the National Democratic con-
vention convenes here at noon tomor-
row. The town tonight is full of
Democrats from all over the state. VIM.
r. Hearst will be completely shut out.
The Parker adherents have everything
their own way and are determined to
keep the Hearst men off the delegation
The Indications tonight are that
eight delegates at large will be select
ed instead of four. Half dozen worthy
leaders are seeking the honor and no
reason exists 1t Is said why any one
should be kept out.
The slate for the eight as made up
tonight is Senators Culberson and
Bailey; John H. Reagan; ]. B. Wells,
Howard Templeton. Chairman Parker,
Of the State Central committee: e. B.
Perkins and Clarence Ousley, editor of
the Fort Worth Record. All are strong
Parker men. There are only two
Hearst men here tonight and they have
practically given up the fight so that
the 36 Texas votes will fall in the
Parker column. The convention will
be decidedly harmonious.

ing The General SoCum- Damaging AdmIs
si0ns Made by Employees of the Boat.

New York, June 20.-Some startling
statements relative to the manner in
which the Knickerbocker Steamship
company handled their steamers were
brought to light at this afternoons
session of the inquest into the dsas-
ter to the General Slocum conducted
by Coroner Joseph Berry Mate Ed
ward Flannigan, second in command

oath, that although chief mate of the
Slocum for two years, he was not a
regularly licensed mate and that he
had never been examined by any gov
ernment official relative to his qualifi-
cations for the position which he held.
Flanagan admitted under pressure
that no fire drill had ever been, held on
the steamer, that the deck hands had
never been given instructions as to the
manner of handling the fire fighting
appliances, that the hose burst so soon
as the water was turned on after the
Slocum was discovered to be on fire
and was thus rendered useless, that
so far as he knew absolutely no at
tempt had been made to lower the life
RATS or life boats and that to his
knowledge many of the life belts we're
old and worthless.
lie swore that he had pulled wo-
man out of the water about whose
waist there was fastened life belt,
but that so far as he could tell by OBJ
servation, she had died by drowning.
Flannigan's testimony came after three
of the deckhands had testified along
similar lines and his statements visi-
bly, impressed the jury, who headed by
Representatives Golden, one of the
panel, asked numerous questions of the

or Roosevelt.

Washington, June 20.-Presldent
Roosevelt was advised today that a
large proportion of all the great flnan-
cial concerns will support his candida
cy. Former Attorney General Wayne
MacVeagh gave him this assurance.
Mr.. MacVeagh, who is counsel for the
Pennsylvania railroad and many of the

edly advised that all the Wall street

gan informed Cornelius N. Bliss now
in Chicago, to this effect and told him
chat ample funds would be supplied

been given the presidents friends fro n
a large percentage of the leading finan-

witnesses after the assistant district
attorney and the lawyers for the de-
fense had finished with them.
James Cochran, who testified that he
was head deck hand" on the Slocum
saiG on direct examination that there
was solid rubber cutoff or washer in
the coupling of the fire hose which pre-
vented water from the hose used to
wash the decks, running irlo 1t. He
could not tell whether or not this
washer had been removed before the
water had been turned on after the
fire broke out, but the questions of the
assistant district attorney indicated
that the theory Of the people is that
this is exactly what happened and
was the original cause for the hose
being driven from its fastenings.
Cochran claimed that the boat was
off l12th street when the fire was first
discovered, thus confirming the report
that the steamer might have been
beached far south of North Brother Is
land. Captain Van Schaick will go .on
the stand tomorrow If the plans of the
coroner are carried out.
Up to o'clock this afternoon when
the divers were compelled by the
strong running tide to stop work for
the day, seventy-two additional bodies
had been recovered from the East river
during the day. This makes total OF
702 in all that have been recovered,
with over two hundred still included in
the list of the missing.
The fund for the relief of the suffer-
ers continues to grow rapidly and Her
mann Ridder, chairman of the commit
tee, declared this Afternoon that fully
$150,000 will be needed for this work.
