BOmbshelI i'm Convention.
The thing that prolonged the last
session of the convention and threat
ened for a time to split the Demo
cratic party, was the receipt of the
following telegram from Judge
Parker:
81 regard the gold standard as
firmly and irrevocably established
and | shall act accordingly if the
action of the convention of today
shall be ratified by the people NY
views should be made known to the
convention and if it proves to be un-
satisfactory to the majority | request
you to decline the nomination TO-
me at once, so that another may be
nominated before adjournment
This came as thunderbolt from.

seized upon it as the final point with
winch to harrass the nominees lead

Bryan Renewed Fight.
William J. Bryan arose from his
pCu Ol llCdl luS VI Ill6 ultSSdBe from
Parker and Immediately formulated
reply to Judge Parker, which he
urged the convention to send Afte
an exciting session, however, the con
VentiOn decided TO send the follow
ing reply to its nominee:
"The platform adopted by this con
ventiOn is silent on the question OF
the monetary standard, because it is
not regarded by us as a possible issue
in this campaign, and only campaign
issues were mentioned in the plat
form. Therefore there is nothing ex-
pressed by you in the telegram just
received which would preclude a man
entertaining them from accepting
nomination ON said platform"
With the sending of this message
the delegates considered the incident
closed, and no time was lost in fin
ishing up the business of the conven-
ton.
After Davis had been declared
nominated for vice-president the
usual vote of thanks was rendered
the officers of the convention and the
city of St Louis and the tired dele
gates hastened from the hall where
one of the most memorable conven-
tions in the party's history had been
held.

TWO PITCHED BATTLES
FOUGHT IN THE HILLS.

Denver, Colo, June 9.-Two pitched
battles were fought in the hills yester.
day between union miners and the mil
itiamen and deputy sheriffs sent to cap
ture them. The most severe was at
Dunville, where the miners fired on
Adjt. Gen. Bells men from the hills,
and in the return fire one miner was
killed. The other fight was skirmish
on Big Bull hill.
Late at night eight men are reported
to have held up the Office of the Victor
Record, the organ of the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners, at the point of re-
volvers, destroyed the plant and driven
the printers out of town.
Although the trend of opinion ex-
pressed by the residents of the towns
sur1 rounding Cripple Creek is that or
der will resume sway rapidly now,
there is an evident feeling of fear lest
other and more serious clashes occur
between the established authorities
and the supporters of unionism in the
camp. This is due to the persistent
report which has gained circulation
that all members of labor unions, re-
CARELESS of their occupations, will be
asked to leave the district under pain
of deportation.

through the curtained window of the
Union hall.
After exhausting their ammunition
in return fire, the miners came down
stairs with hands uplifted and bearing
white flag. They were surrounded
by soldiers and escorted to the bull
pen. From all accounts about 175 men
are now In the military prision.

tanned.
Chief Justice Gabbart and Justice
Campbell concurred in the opinion.
Justice Steel dissented.
The opinion of the court was handed
down by Chief Justice Gabbart. Its
main points are as follows:
Powers of Governor.
The governor has sole power to de-
termine when state of insurrection
exists in any county of the state. The
courts have no power to interfere with
his exercise of this prerogative.
The governor has the right to use the
military forces of the state to suppress
insurrection.
He has also the power to order the
imprisonment or killing of insurrec-
tionists if in his opinion that extremity
is necessary.
He can detain military prisoners un-
til he decides that the insurrection is
quelled.
The courts of the state have no right
to interfere with the military authori-
ties and their handling of prisoners.
They have no power to attempt to
discharge military prisoners.
The contention Of the appellant that
the Military prisoners should be turned
over to the civil authorities is charac-
terized by the court as absurd.
The question that the court was
asked to decide was Of such vast i'm
portance to the state that seven promi-
nent lawyers were asked as advisory
counsel to submit opinions.
One of these, it is understood, did not
send in any opinion. The other six
split evenly.

DYNAMITE OUTRAGE.
FIX plOsiOn Under Railway Platform
in Colorado Kills a Score.

Colorado Springs, Colo, June 6-An
explosion at the Independence station
of the Florence q Cripple Creek dis
trict at 1926 this morning, sent sixteen
men to death and injured nine others
fatally, according to the best informa-
ton obtainable at this time.
The explosion was undoubtedly
caused by dynamite, which had been
laid under the center of the depot plat
form and was set off by the incoming
train. The officials of the company
and special detectives satisfied that a
dastardly outrage was committed, are
now working on the case.
The miners killed and injured were
all employed on the Findley property
and had just come off shift. They
were waiting to take the train home.
1t was their customary hour for taking
the train and it is supposed that the
alleged crime was laid to catch these
men.

PEACEFUL VALLEY NOW.
All Union Miners at Victor in Bull
Periodicals Forced
to Resign.

Cripple Greek, Colo, June 8.-Un-
der the REGIME of hundreds of deputy
sheriffs and about $50 militiamen, re-
ceiving their orders from Edward Bell,
a wealthy mine owner, who succeeded
Sheriff Robertson when he resigned
under threats of lynching Monday,
this gold mining district passed COM
paratively peaceful day. Throughout
the day the deputies and soldiers
searched the hills for Union miners
and the sum total of the days arrests
were nineteen.
This swelled the number of men con-
fined in the bull pen to considerably
over 200, and in the night "a of them
were placed aboard special train and
deported from the district. A guard
of deputies rode out of the district
with them. Three of the men were
residents of Cripple Creek, three of
Victor, twelve of Independence, three
of Goldfield, two of Anaconda and one
of Altman. They were all active union
lists and served as leaders in the strike
now pending.
Force Officials TO Resign.
Three additional city officials were
forced to resign their offices during the
day, namely: Chief of Police William
Graham, Night Marshal Fred Hardy
and Justice of the Peace Charles Har-
rington. Their reputed sympathy for
unionism led to this action. In each
case committee Of the Citizens ALI
ance waited upon them and compelled
them to act Immediately under pain Of
violence.
While the tension is tightly drawn
and the whole district has taken sides
in the bitter feeling existing between
the Mine Owners Association and the
Uunionists, it is thought that a clash
will be avoided for the reason that
most, if not all, of the union leaders
are in durance. The streets of the
city are being constantly patrolled by
deputies and soldiers.

MARINES LANDED.
Admiral Chadwick Places Guard
About Belgian Legation.


Washington, June 9.-Americap
marines have landed in Africa. AID.
miral Chadwick cabled the state de,
partment from Tangier as follows:
81 have placed guard at the Bel,
gian legation, having been asked to do
so by our consul general here"
The state department has received
unofficial assurance through Consul
General Gummere, who had it from
the British consul at Fee, that the sui
tan of Morocco will accede to all of
Raisuli's terms.
The bandits demand that Great
Britain and the United States shall
guarantee execution of the sultans
promises, however, is the sticking
point, and this probably can be gotten
around only by the acceptance of this
obligation by Great Britain or France
or some other country not so strongly
bound as the United States by its ira
ditions not to entangle itself in the in
teranl affairs of other countries. 1t is
stated positively that under no condi-
tions can the United States govern
merit execute these guarantees.
The rumor which is agitating GER
tain European newspapers to the effect
that the United States government in
tends to ultimately possess itself of
coaling station on the Moroccan coast
as an incident to the settlement of the
Perdicaris affair, is regarded officially
here as a jest.
There never was and is not now the
slightest intention on the part of this
government of making any such move.
Moreover, it is stated, it is not con-
templated by this government to seize
even temporarily any Moroccan ports
and customs houses in connection with
che Perdicaris case.
