INDIANA MEN FOR PARKER
HEARST BADLY BEATEN IN THE
 STATE CONVENTION

0cHl--t Ole SlOOu OOE NO OCG-AeENe
 Sam Small Advises Against Voting
 for Parker-McCIelIan's Name is
 Cheered.
 Indianapolis, Ind. May 12-The most interesting democratic state convention since 1892. when Cleveland and Isaac F. Grany contested for the control of the Indiana delegation to the national convention, was held to-day. The sole purpose of the convention was to elect delegates to the national convention, the state convention for the nomina- ton of state officers having been called for July 20, when the same delegates that were in the convention to-day will return. A platform will then be adopt ed.
 The feeling of the delegates was in tense when the convention opened to- day. The Hearst followers had been wrought to a high pitch of determina- tion by rousing addresses beforehand at the Claypool hotel assembly room by the Rev. Sam Small of Georgia and  10. A. Windle of Chicago. The Rev. Sam Small of Georgia advised against voting for Parker if he were nominat- ed.
 The convention instructed thirty del- egates to the national convention to vote as a unit for Judge Parker of New York for president and endorsed Thomas Taggert for national commit teeman, and recommended him to the national committee as it's chairman. The first test vote on the organiza- tion of the convention showed the Par ker forces to number 1,094 and the earst following 468. The vote on in- struetion for Parker was 952 to 5S2, many delegates being in sympathy with the plea of the Twelfth district that it's two delegates be allowed to Ivote for Hearst. This was the only district of the thirteen carried by the Hearst following
 The feature of the convention was the demonstration that followed the mention of the name of Mayor George IB. Mcclellan of New York. The cheer ing lasted for several minutes, sever Eal hundred delegates and spectators rising and waving handkerchiefs.

CHAMBERLAIN SPEAKSAGAIN
RECEIVES MAGNIFICENT RE-
 CEPTION IN HIS oWN TOWN.
PIunges Into the Fiscal POlicy-Cannot Be Disposed of LightIy-The Minori- ty Party Pledged to Theory of Re- taIiation-His First Speech Since He Returned to Europe.

AlctuNucl tO luEopcs
 Birmingham, May 12.-Joseph Cham berlain made his first speech since his return to England at a meeting of the Liberal Unionist association here to- night, and received a magnificent re- ception.
 After paying tribute to the late Jo- seph Powell Williams, member of par liament for South Birmingham, who died last February. Mir. Chamberlain plunged into his fiscal policy. He said the question could not be disposed of by waving old rags or by the clattering of worn-out cans. but that it would re- main until 1t was no longer a question, but fact. The unionist party, he said, was pledged to the policy of retaliation, and already the fiscal agitation was having it's effect. He had met men, eminent business men. abroad who had said that if his policy was carried out they would be obliged to remove their business to Great Britain.
 MT. Chamberlain said there had been less dumping" recently, but he could not rest satisfied until the fiscal policy became effective. He said he wished he could have referendum tomorrow on the question, which, he believed, would be favored by large majority of the people. A general election would not come soon, but it would come in a reasonable time and might go against the unionists. Perhaps, however, the cause would not suffer if the scene should be changed, MT. Chamberlain said, and new piece produced which would soon be hissed off the stage. MT. Chamberlain spoke for an hour and a half, devoting his speech almost exclusively to his proposed fiscal pol icy. He repeated most of his former arguments and appealed to the patriot ism of the people for the preservation of the empire.

Affair.
 Albany, N. Y, May Ex-Governor Odell to-day vetoed the Rensen East River Gas company bill. filing with his veto memorandum characterized by vigorous denunciation of the bill itself and sharp criticism of Mayor McClel- Ian. who approved 1t. Of the mayors action he says:
 Giving all due weight to the honesty of purpose which actuated the mayor in his approval of this measure and with no desire in any way to impunge his motives, I am of the opinion that in ap- proving this bill he has disregarded every principle of home rule and has given greater weight and consideration to the appeals of those who are inter- ested in securing the rights bestowed by this bill than to the almost univer- sally expressed public opinion, which must have been known to him as it is to me. It is my opinion that if an hon est effort is made to secur ca more bus iness-like and equitble adjustment of the questions involved in this proposed act as between the municipality of New York and the company which seeks these rights, then bill that will be fair to both interests can be prepared and such authority vested in the city under it that will render easy a more satisfac- tory settlement than can possibly be accomplished under this proposed act''

threw his weight on the beasts neck.
Jessie was lowering near, wringing
her hands IN pity and excitement.

Crouching down, Peter Burt threw

With a heave of his massive should

The old man gathered the body in

faint futter of the heart. In accents
which thrilled Jessie Garden he ex-
claimed:

At the turn in the road the general
distinctly saw man clinging to the
horses bits, bruised by the swaying
pole-a pigmy who dared check the
flight of giants. They swerved
sharply at the curve. The off horse
stumbled, lurched sideways and fell.
There was crash; the sickening
sound of splintered wood and clinking
steel; then a silence, as the dust lift
ed and revealed the jagged outlines
OF a mass of wreckage.
AS General Garden neared the fate

the Burt yard and plunge into the
wreck. A moment later he saw some
thing in the rescuer's hands. A

showed plain in contrast to the white

fondly into her eyes, and tenderly
embraced her.
General Garden turned to the aid of
Peter Burt. Tangled in the harness,
a horse was plunging and struggling
in an attempt to regain his feet. The
other horse was dead, and beneath
his shoulder was pinioned the leg OF
a young man. Blood was trickling
down his face, and he lay in the dust
of the road. limp and deathlike. His
right hand still grasped the bit; his
head was near the hoofs of the fran
