CONREssMEN TAWNEY AND
 CHANEY ARE HURT.
Rear-End Collision on Line in Wash inRton Shakes Up Passengers But None Is Seriously In-
 sured.

Washington. April 22.-Representa- tive Tawney of Minnesota, chairman or the house committee on appropria- tions, was injured in the back; Repre- sentative John c. Chaney, of Indiana, was painfully injured on the hip, and a score or more other passengers sui fered slight injuries as the result of a rear-end collision on the Pennsyi- yania Avenue line of the Capitol Traction Company 4 Ia Street and the Avenue today.
 "A heavy Mount Pleasant car was speeding rapidly behind a Georgetown car and the motorman of the former claims that the accident was caused by the brakes of the car refusing to work.
 Bentamin F. Odurn, private Secre- tary to Representative Flood of Vir- gInia, was among those shaken up by the accident. Frederick L. 4Trow- bridge. of Newton, Mass, manager of the New England Conservatory of Mu- sic at Boston was passenger on the Georgetown car but escaped serious injury.
 The accident delayed stret car .traf- fic on Pennsylvania Avenue for haIl an hour.
 Ambulances and patrol wagons were summoned to the scene but none of those injured would go to the hospital for treatment None of them received any cuts of serious bruises and Repre- sentatives Tawney and Chaney pro- ceeded to the capital, explaining that they had been only shaken up by the collision.
 Many of those who were seated in the summer car attached as a trailer to the Georgetown car were thrown from their seats, one of the passengers Mrs. G. c. Grimm, who is employed in the Congressional Library, being thrown from the car.
 The Georgetown train. east bound had stopped at the corner of 1-z street to let of passengers and was just starting again when one of the big yellow cars which had come from the Mount Pleasant division of the road crashed into the rear end of the trailer with force enough to do consid- erable damage and frighten many oi the passengers.
 Motorman Knighton of the Mount Pleasant car remained at his post when he saw the collision was inevitable but was uninjured

AN ATTEMPT IS MADE
 ON LIFE OF J. L. GALLAGHER

oakland, Cal. April 22.-An evident attempt was made upon the life of J. L. Gallagher, one of the main witnesses for the prosecution In the San Fran cisco bribery cases, tonight. >at the home of William H. s, Scheneck, his brother in Jaw, in East Oakland. when a huge bomb placed on the porch ex- ploded and tore away the whole front of the house.
 Gallagher was up stairs with his wife at the time, and Scheneck was in a rear room with his wife and four children, and Dr. Guy Brown. All es- caped but one boy. who was hit in the neck by flying missile. That no one was killed was little short of miracle. Gallagher's hat was pierced by a splinter. The house was completely wrecked.
 Gallagher was a member of the Board of Supervisors of San Fran cisco, who confessed to receiving bribes. He was chairman of the Finance Committee and, according to his testimony. acted as intermediary between Abe Ruef and the members of the Board.

TWELVE HUNDRED COUPLES IN
 THE GRAND MARCH.
The Dance Was Given in ImHense Au- ditoritfEn in Honor of Admirais
 and officers of the
 Atlantic Fleet.

Los Angeles. Cal. Apr.I 22.-A ball rivaling In it's wealth an inaugural function at Washington. brought to close the fifth day of the stay of the American battleship fleet at the port of Los Angeles.
 The dance was given in the immense Shriners' auditorium, fin honor of the admirals and officers of the fleet. and If is estimated that more than l.2OO couples took part in the grand march, which was led by Rear Admiral Charles M. Thomas and Mrs. Adna R. Chance. wife of General Chaffce. chairman or the Officers Entertainment Committee The officers were attired in full evening dress uniform and the glitter of gold lace mingled everywhere the blended colors of the splendid gowns worn by the ladies.
 The ball was the last big public func- ton of the fleets stay and brought to one exceptionally happy conclusion, A day of leaden skies and heavy show CTS. which caused a postponement of r,ost of inc outdoor celebrations, inc clud;nR the boxing bouts. the barbe- cues and Wild West shows which have constituted the most generous and lavish entertainments ever planned anywhere in honor of the enlisted men of the United States navy. More than 5000 blue jackets and marines came ashore in the early morning. and. while disappcinted that the principal fea- tures of the day had to be abandoned. they turned to another and had a good dime, despite the rain.
 Three -fourths of the fleet entertain ment fund, raised in this city. has been spent on the enlisted men. They nave shown their appreciation of the atten- fion devoted to them bq making a rec ord of conduct which reflects the high standard of the present enlisted force of the navel establishment.

And so I went to my good friend our German brother (pointing to Mir Rldder), and asked him what could do to be sure of the unanimous sup my advocacy of tariff reform. He said.
 "'Pulp! and took 1t up, and for the first time in my life, I found myself on the side of the majority. l con- gratulate you that there is at least one tie that binds. that there Is at least one question upon which VIC can work together. for 1t costs me something as we'll as you"
 Senator Knox followed Mir. Bryan. delivering a characteristic speech that brought forth much applause.
 Mir. Murphy made a witty speech in response to tho toast Time and Chance"
 Senator Knox Speaks.
 After paying a tribute to the press, Senator Knox. who followed Mir. Bryan, said:
 T venture to remind you of your own great share of responsibility for that public opinion which will either make or mar the greatest republic of the world. Your duty to be true to the institutions of your country and the best ideals of the republic is as great as any sworn officer of the law. or even the rooed justices. what IS true or the judges in the courts of law, Is true ot you judges. who. in your edit orial offices pronounce not the sem tences of the law. but the equally great sentences of public opinion. Agree able as popular applause may be to you. as to all of us. 1t must not make you deaf to the demands of our com mon country.
 Many a mischievous law has found it's way on the statute books because demanded by public opinion which has been mistakenly created by the press. just as many a great reform could never have been accomplished without the patriotic support of the American editors.
 The great need of our country to- day is pace between all interests and confidence in ourselves. With these. the financial convulsion of last year will soon pass away, and the American press. even more than any other class of public servants. can, by calming popular passion and promoting confi- dence. bring back again in even great CT measure. the prosperity of our com mon country"

ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS TO
 ENDORSE W. J. BRYAN

Springfield, H.. April 22-That the Democratic State Convention tomor- row will endorse William Jennings Bryan in the strongest terms and will instruct it's delegates for him. seems certain tonight.
 Governor Johnson of Minnesota. 1t is said, will be accorded fiattering ap plause when his. name is mentioned. but nothing more substantial will be offered him at this time.
 Roger c. Sullivan of Chicago, the National Committeeman from this State. said tonight:
 "The convention Is all for Bryan. No- body Is going to dictate the Bryan res- olution outside the members of the Committee on Resolutions and the committee itself. They can make 1t as strong as they like and 1t will go through Personally will have noth- ing whatever to do with 1t. beyond do- ing what I can to help 1t along. l"
 While nothing but harmony is in sight on the question of presidential endorsement and instructions. there will be a hot light in the Committee on Resolutions over the wording of the personal liberty" plank. Many dele gates favor leaving the liduor question out of the platform entirely, while others consider 1t Is best to adopt no
  vention. A declaration will, however. be made on the subject
 Fred P. Norris of Watseka. III, will be temporary chairman of the conven- tion and according to the present pro- gram will also be the permanent chair man.
 The State Central Committee met to- night at 10. o'clock and it immediately developed that the harmony program was not nailed down as tightly as was supposed. The-frst thing to come be- fore the committee was a proposition to adjourn until some time next month with the alternative of a contesting State delexation at Denver if the ad. journment was refused.
 The request for a postponementcame from Judge William Prentiss. J D. McMahon and George r Muiiigan of Chicago. representih9 the Moderation of Bryan Clubs of Cook County and the county Democracy. Judge Prent- iss. acting as spokesman Fer the three. asked for the postponement on the ground that under the primary law Of 1901 which is still in force, no legal conventions can be held before May. as the law states that the convention must be held between May 1 and some later date.
 The proposition to adjourn was re- jected by the State Central Committee on the ground that there is no State primary law. that the act of 1901 af- feet the selection of delegates in Cook County only. and cannot be made to apply to a regular State Convention.
