Main street the Baltimore hotel was
flooded and the water is flowing swift
ly within two blocks of Douglas ave-
nue., the main business street. People
living within seven blocks of the Little
river have been forced to vacate their
homes.

tests Approved.

tion-the contest in the Twenty-first
Illinois district-the credentials COM
mittee of the national Democratic con-
vention followed the lead of the ma
tional committee and seated the dele
gates recommended as the temporary
roll of the convention. This result
was accomplished after a session last
ing all night.

the committee a call at a. M, that
he should make the Illinois contests
an issue on the floor of the conven-
ton.

tee that he had been busy on the plat

MANY PEOPLE HOMELESS.

Flood Evfcts Hundreds of People at
North Topeka.
Topeka, Kan, July Sat the Kaw
river gauge the water is above the
22-foot mark and rising rapidly. In
North Topeka the water is running
through the principal streets knee
deep and the town is deserted. All
night constant stream of humanity
poured across the big Melan bridge to
higher ground on the South Side. The
well-to-do class of people stacked their
household goods in the upper stories
of their homes and fed. The poorer
classes, driving their live stock be-
fore them, carried what goods they
could upon their shoulders.

PHILIPPINES NO PART
OF THE UNITED STATES.

L. Irving Handy made the point OF
order that the Philippines were no
part of the United States and, there
fore, the amendment was not germane.
Mr.. South defended the rights OF the
Philippine delegation, but finally with
drew his amendment.
Arguing tor the adoption of the re-
port Mr. Grady said the national COM
mittee had decided to include Porto
Rico in the call of the convention.
The supreme court OF the United
States had decided that Porto Rico
was a part of the territory of the
United States. The same court had
decided that the Philippines were not
a part of the United States. The COM
mlttee had followed this course and
had given Porto Rico votes and with
held votes from the Philippines.
On a viva voce vote on the adoption
of the committees report the ayes
were in a strong majority.
Senator South asked for a roll call,
but this was also heavily voted down
by a viva voce vote.
A. w. Molina of Porto Rico was
recognized and expressed his thanks
to the convention.
The secretary then announced that
the permanent organization committee
was not ready to report and desired
a conference of the committee at once.
The report of the committee on Gre
dentials was next called for and that
committee at once announced that it
would not be prepared to report until
2 o'clock. The chair then recognized
William F. Sheehan of New York, who
moved that a recess be taken until 2
o'clock
The convention was instantly in an
uproar of confusion as the delegates
and visitors rose to leave.
The motion to take a recess was
agreed to by viva voce vote and the
morning session came to close at
11:04

COMMITTEES CAUSE DELAY
MORNING SESSION OF THE CON-
VENTION LASTS LESS
THAN AN HOUR.

st. Louis, July s.-The morning
session of the Democratic national
convention lasted less than an hour.
There was a delay in calling it to or
der and at II o'clock it became neces-
sary to take a recess until o'clock
to await reports from the committees
on permanent organization and Gre
dentials.
The committee on permanent or
ganizatiOn met at once and elected
Representative Champ Clark as per
manent chairman The choice was
unanimous. The real cause for the
delay was the time needed to prepare
the report of the committee on Gre
dentials This committee disposed OF
the last contest at an early hour IN
the morning, but was unable to have
it's report ready for the convention.
The convention was called to order
by Temporary Chairman Williams al
1918 a. NJ AS soon as he had pre-
duced quiet in the hall by the use O.!
his gavel he introduced Archbishop
John j. Glennon OF St. Louis, who de-
Ivered the invocation.
The prayer was brief and, as the
prelate resumed his seat, a murmur
Of approval ran through the conVen-
tion which in few seconds deepened
into roar of applause.
Immediately after the invocation
Chairman Williams called for the re-
port on rules and order OF business.
Delegate Thomas Grady of New
York reported for the committee and
the report was adopted without oppo-
sition or discussion.
Mr.. Grady next read the report con-
cerning Porto Rico and the Philippine
islands, according the delegates from
Porto Rico seats and votes IN the con-
VentiOn.
Senator Jerry South of Arkansas
moved to amend the report, as soon
as it was read, SO as to make it in
clude the Philippines.

a concert, which was appreciatively
applauded, and every number was en-
cored. Women again predomlnated
among the spectators.
Delegates came in slowly and took
their places without causing demon
strations of any character. The band
held the undivided attention OF the
gathering. The attendance was larger
than at either of the previous ses-
siOns.

through the delegates Who Wele
massed in Lne aisles. He paid no at
tenuon al nrst to the demonstration,
but quietly sought his seat.
The galleries joined in the cheering
with terrinc enthusiasm, hundreuS Oh
the CROWD standing up in their cnalrS
and waving mats and hanukercnlefs

shouts, at once yelled louuer than be-
fore A man climbed to the chair
mans table and began to wave his
arms up and down, shouting unintel-
liglbly. In moment Mr.. Williams
caught signt of him and, grabbing the
enthusiasts trousers, hauled him
down.
A wild frenzy of yells followed the
act of a Nebraska delegate, who seized
the Nebraska state sign and waved IL
high in the air. Delegates from Ken
lucky, North Dakota, Iowa, Missouri
and Montana took the cue and, grab
bing up their state signs, hastened
with them to the Nebraska delegation,
where they waved them in a circle
around the Nebraska sign.

PARKER MEN ATTEMPT TO
OFFSET DEMONSTRATION

The Parker men at once sought to
offset the Bryan demonstration by
cheers on their side. Then men OF the
South came to the front in this effort
and the Georgia delegation, who carry
q blue silk banner inscribed Georgia
Parker Delegation" every time they
march into ne hall, at once WaVed 1t
high and started toward the platform.
An enthusiastic delegate from. South
Carolina caught the sign OF his state
from it's stan, tore up the steps anc,
after brandiShing the red and white
disk wildly, shook it at the Bryan
and Hearst men and then placed 1t
fiat against the blue banner, as though
he was mailing the flag Of his country
to a masthead. The Parker men came
up swiftly now and before the South
Carolina man had lowered his hand
the men from Arkansas, Alabama and
Pennsylvania were turning over chairs
and pushing through the aisles on
their way to his side.
After Pennsylvania came Missis-
Bippi, New Jersey, Tennessee, Indiana,
Louisiana, Texas, Connecticut and
Virginia. The demonstration had re-
solved itself into Parker outbreak
more than a testimonial to Bryan and
it SO remained to the finish, which was
eighteen minutes after Mr.. Bryan en-
tered the hall.
The Parker men claimed that they
had information before entering the
hall that the Bryan demonstration had
been arranged between the Hearst
men ana Tammany and they were pre-
pared to meet j by Parker counter
outburst of their own. AS the noise
began to Subside Chairman Williams
seized a huge megaphone and en-
deavored to announce that the recess
had ended and it was time for the
convention to come to order.
There was still so much confusion,
as the huge gathering was trying to
compose itself, that the chairman's
voice. even through the megaphone,
was hardly audible 1t was finally as
certained that the committee on Gre
dentials was ready to report.

carefully treasured. But Kitty begs in
vain for the faded pink envelope and its
enclosure. "I'll leave it to you, dear"
said Aunty, on the third anniversary of
Kitty's marriage, "but as long as live
I'll keep my one valentine. Mny yours

them! Mine, though precious. tells

Aunt Madeline's choice had not been so
utterly n mistake as some would insist.
