: New York Democrats in Con-
vention at Buffalo, Choose
Independence League Can
didate for Governor.
YELLOW JOURNALIST WAS
LOCKED WITH TAMMANY
Platform Written by Bourke
Cochran, Does Not Endorse
the Candidacy of William
Jennings Bryan.
Publishers PressJ

Buffalo Sept. 27.-William r.
Hearst, candidate of the Independ-
ence League for Governor of New
York state, was nominated at 1:47
O'Clock this morning on the first bal
lot, by the Democratic convention in
session here. Hearst gained control
of the three important committees APP
pointed at the first session of the con-
vention. These were the Committee
on Contested Seats, which decided
contests in twenty districts, involving
sixty votes; the committee on Plat
form and Resolutions and the Com
mittee on Permanent Organization.
The roll call of the nomination be-
gan at 1:45 O'Clock this morning with
the following result: Hearst, 500; Sui
ger 124 and Dix. 10Y; total, $50.
A Tammany Platform.
The platform adopted is triumph
of Tammany diplomacy. 1t was de-
signed by master of political finesse
Bourke Cochran, of New York, and
deals with the Hearst ideas sufficient
ly modified to please the conservative
element. On national issues, it de-
clares outright for the election of
United States senator's by the people,
saying:
I'VE favor the election of U. S. SEN
ators by direct vote of the people, and
pending the adoption of an amend
ment to the federal constitution, the
enactment of state legislation provid-
ing for their direct nominations by
popular vote.
Regarding Mr.. Bryan, the platform
adopted is pleasantly mplimentary,
that is all His candidacy for the
presidency is utterly ignored, the con-
vention declaring:
I'm common with the democrats of
all the states and expressing 'senti-
ment of the high minded citizenship
of the republic without reference to
party. we view with pride and salts
faction the hospitality and acclaim
which have been accorded, at home
and abroad, to that great democrat
leader and typical American-William
Jennings Bryan. to whom the demo-
Gratis of New York extend most cor
dial and sincere felicitations.'
An appeal for the Jews in Russia is
made in the following language:
We ask the federal government to
exercise it's influence to bring about
speedy cessation of the atrocities now
being committed against the Jews in
Russia, which have shocked the con-
science of civilization

FURRY OVER A BOOK.

Il Was Removed From the Library Shelves
and Now some Preachers Ask for Iis
Restoration.
A little volume at the Wilmington
Institute Free Library has stirred up a
hornest's ne.t, requests having been
made for its removal from the shelves
and also for its retention therein.
But as the library committee Of the
Board of Trustees is of the opinion
that it con aims matter which is not
suitable for public reading, it has been
Withdrawn and it seems improbable
that it will again be placed on the
shelves, Notwithstanding the fact that
a resolution was adopted at the meet
ing of the n ilmington NJ. e.. Preach
ers Association, yesterday, requesting
its retention. A party who has read
the book said, in discussing the mat
ter with a reporter OF Every Evening,
that he was of the opinion that the
preachers had not read it through
critically, or they would not have
asked for its restoration.
Who protested against allowing the
book to remain on the shelves the
library authorities decline to state.
All Librarian Bailey will say about it
is that he received a modest, quiet
protest, asking that the book be re-
moved, whereupon he took the matter
up with the library committee and
withdrew the book after the commit
tee had decided that it was not a
proper publication, in their opinion,
to be on the shelves
The book is entitled 1.-THE Parochial
School, a Curse to the Church, a
Menace to the Nation" by Father
Crowley. 1t purports to have been
written by Rev. Jeremiah J. Crowley,
who was at one time a Catholic priest
IN the archdiocese Of Chicago, and, as
its name implies, it is an adverse
criticism of the Catholic church and
its institutions.
The library has a rule that whenever
application is made by a reputable
citizen for a book which is not in the
library, the book is purchased by the
manager and placed on the shelves.
and that is why this book happened
TO be there. A request was made for
it the latter part of last year and il
was purchased. As the full title was
not given in the original application
Librarian Bailey thought it was a de-
.criptive worl, devoted to the schools
connected W h the Catholic Church
and did not know it was a criticism of
hose schools. However, when it was
received Mr.. Bailey read it, as is done
With all new books, and he then real
lied what il was and it WIS with re-

GOOD WORK BY ElREMEN

Members OF City Departments and Em-
ployes saved the Harlan & Houings-
worth Plant from destruction.
The assistance rendered by the EN-
ployes and the prompt and eff ctlve
work done by the district fire com
panies saved the Harlan & Hollings-
worth shipyard from destruction by
flames yesterday afternoon. Through
the efforts of the firemen, the blaze
was confined 10 the annex Of the dry
kiln, where green lumber is prepared
for the kiln. The officials of the COM
pany will be unable to state the loss
until the lumber in the building can
be examin ned and the damage ascertain
ed, but it is believed that the loss will
amount to Sl5, 600. President Coke
refused to advance any opinion or dis
cuss the fire. The building and con-
tents we're insured.
The employees, with the apparatus
owned by the company, responded
willingly and even the apprentice boys
could be seen in dangerous places
fighting the fire with handkerchiefs
over their mouths and noses TO keep
out the smoke. Harry Riley, a boy
from the car shops, broke one axe and
went to work with the second one.
There was a high wind that famed
the flames and made them burn more
briskly and it is wonderful that they
did not spread.
In the annex was a large amount Of
ash, mahogany and other fine woods
for interior work on cars and ships.
There was also was a large quantity
of bay wood.
Seven trains on the p, B. & W. rail
road we're held up because the hose of
several of the fire companies had to be
laid across the tracks. These trains
we're released after the employees Of the
railroad company had dug a trench
under the tracks and removed the hose
from the surface.
A new feature Of the shipbuilding
company's operating equipment
has lust been installed and some con-
Germ was felt for it. The Sterling
blower Co. Of Hartford, Conn, has
lust placed a 24-inch pipe, 600 feet
long, over the boilerhouse and from
it to the carshops on the east side OF
Justison street, the object being to
convey shavings from the carshops to
the boilerhouse, the shayings being
used for fuel. The pipe was in front
of the cupola which was burned anu
il was feared that it would be wrecked,
which would have seriously inconven-
fenced the plant.

The GEOLOGICAL GARDEN

The managers of the Wilmington
Free Zoo Association at meeting
yesterday afternoon, decided that
the bill owed by the association
must be paid at once. To do this
it will be necessary to raise the
funds promptly. 1t is hoped that
the benefit performance in the Grand
Opera House, on Friday, will be we'll
patronized, as the money made there
will greatly assist in raising the neces-
sary funds. Adults will be admitted
in the afternoon for % cents. In the
evening the prices will be % cents for
general admission and % cents extra
for reserved seats.
The following contributions have
been received by the Zoo. Miss Lottie
Pyle, 81. 25; Q. j. Horrigan, IS; Col.
d. p. Barnard, s.. In addition to
making contributions of money, Col.
Barnard presented to the ZOO fine

WORK BY WILMINGTON ARTIST.

A series Of colored glass windows for
St. Paul's Cathedral, Milwaukee, Wis,
are being designed by Miss Ida Doherty
Of this city. When completed they will
be numbered among the most worthy
examples Of art in the middle West.
Each window will contain two distinct
subjects, with a surrounding border Of
white glass ornamented with intricate
tracery. Rich hues in their deepest and
seftest tones have been used by Miss
Doherty in her designs, which are done
In much the same style as those OF John
La Fargo in his window designs.
The subjects for the 10 windows have
been selected from the Old and New
Testaments and from the apocryphi. Three
of these have been completed and sent
TO the New York firm, who will set them
up. 'Mary Magdalene" and 'The Prodi-
gal Son" are In the first; the Presentation
in the Temple" and "Suifer the Little
Children" are in the second, and the third
shows the Marriage Of Cana" and "The
Parable Of the Virgins" All Of these
illustrations have been treated most SYM
pathetically.
