SULLIVAN
WILL DOMINATE ILLINOIS DEMO.
CRATIC CONVENTION.
Bryan Not Pleased With Situation But
Big Boss of State Will BE In
Control.

Springfield. ILL.,. April 14.-The
Democrats state convention, which is
to be held here April 23, will be dom
mated by Roger c. Sullivan, as Dem
ocratic conventions have been for
several years. This does not mean
that William Jennings Bryan is in any
danger of losing the Illinois delega-
ton to the national convention, but Il
means that on all questions outside
of the Bryan Endorsement Sullivan
will have things his own way. 1t was
conceded by sullivan some time ago
that Bryan could have the Illinois
delegation instructed for him, but he
reserved the right to control the state
convention on all other matters, in
GLIDING the naming of delegates. II
looks now as II the simon-pure Bryan
men-the distinguished Democrats
who have been fighting Roger Sulli-
van for several years-would be Sc
leoted to stay at home, while Sullivan
men will be put ON the national dele
cation under instructions to vote for
Mr.. Bryan. This is exactly what Mr.
Bryan protested against a few weeks
ago, when he came here TO address
the State Federation of Bryan clubs
He declared then that only men who
are sincerely for him should be allow
ed TO go to the national conventions;
that he wanted all his enemies "ln
front of HIM" that he wanted no
more fights with bushwhackers.' But,
according to present indications.

GREENWICH, Conn, July 16.-The
White Mountain express over the New

road leaving New York at $40 this
morning and due to go through here
at a rate of about fifty miles an hour,

pletely wrecked on the bridge over

other woman very badly injured and
at least dozen others were more or

that Miss Armstrong had tried to get
out of window as the coach toppled
over. She was crushed to death.
The train was made up of nine
coaches, five being Pullmans. The day
coaches were not damaged, but the
Pullmans were all overturned. The
train was drawn by two electric loco
motives The cause of the accident is
not yet fixed, but inspection of the
bridge shows that the iron was ground
up into pieces. and one girder rail on
the embankment side alone prevented
the entire train from being ditched
The speed at which the train was
going is responsible for the distance at
which the cars ran before topping over.
1t is thought that of the slightly more
than 100 passengers in the Pullmans
about half the number are more or less
injured, although the serious cases may
not number more than a dozen.
Three of the Pullmans were going
through to Breton Woods, N. H, and

AUDITORS ARE TO
BE TAKEN OFF
By the Baltimore and oio Railroad
CO., is the Statement Just
Made.

IT is said that the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad will dismiss all its
train auditors on all sections OF the
company's lines within the next
three months. During the last week
a number OF auditors have received
notice that their services would be
dispensed with for three months.
Although a number OF these no
tees nave been seen by local railroad
men the local officials have not con.
firmed the move.
1t Is stated that the company's
train auditors cost the company up
wards Of 800, 900 asst year ana that
it was not at all a paying investment.
Trainmen declare the auditors on ac-
count of their unfamiliarity with the
business daily miss many fares, and
these, together with the wages paid
them, has caused a deficit where
there ordinarily should be none. An
old conductor, 1t is said, who has been
on the same run for years. is thor
oughly familiar with all tine passen-
gers, and ii is a rare occasion for him
to get mixed up in the collection or
fares.
