TRUCE AGREED UPON.

Rochester, Sept. 15.-A satisfactory adjustment of the difficulties between the factions in four counties in which the contests were centered in the convention, hung on a dead center of uncertainty today until State Chairman Corners, Chas. F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, and Ma tional Chairman Mack acting as a committee of harmony. took the con tested cases. under advisement and after hearing from the representatives of both sides brought harmony out of what had been regarded as an unremOvable discord.
 It was regarded at headquarters to- night that the settlement of the Me Carren cases mean that, pending the election in November, neither Mir. Murphy nor Senator McCarren will seek to pursue their warfare and that each will lend his aid to bring about the success of the state and national tickets. In Kings county the anti McCarren delegates were with drawn. The Mott and Hefferman factions in Chautauqua county were given seats in the convention with half vote each. The contests in Oneida and Herkimer counties were withdrawn, leaving no work for the committee on credentials to do when it met tonight.

ROCHESTER
 IN TURMOIL
The Opening Meeting of r New York Democrats
The Murphy Me Carren Feud is Yet in an Unset- tied State.

Rochester, Sept. 15-The first ses- sion of the democratic state convention lasted less than an hour and was de- voted exclusively to the opening ad- dress of ex-Judge Morgan J. O'Brien, routine business, and resolutions. An adjournment was taken at 1:45 D. m. until 10 a. m. tomorrow, when the re- ports of the committees on resolutions and contested seats will be received.
 Justice O'Brien was literally ap- plauded throughout his brief address, references to w. J. Bryan and the late Grover Cleveland calling out enthu- siastic cheers. His plea for harmony was also a signal for demonstration.
 Upon the adjournment of the con- vention. the leaders returned to their tasks of selecting a candidate for gov ernor and in settling the perplexing McCarren- Murphy controversy It was predicted. however, that satisfactory agreement would be reached The conference which was adjourned in order that those present might go to the convention hall, was attended by Norman F. Mack, chairman of the democratic national committee; Will liam J. COnnors, chairman of the state committed; Charles F. Murphy. the Tammany leader; Patrick H. McCar- ren, Daniel F. COhalan and James Cassidy.
 In answer to a question of Congress- man Fitzgerald of Brooklyn, Chairman COnnors is said to have sent back word that all the McCarren delegates would be seated. Senator McCarren said all the delegates from Kings county would be seated, or the delega- tion would leave the convention.
 Reports were revived again today that the differences between State Chairman Connors and Charles Mur- phy would be aggravated by the sug- gestion that Connors would side with McCarren in the fight

HE PLUG PULLED OUT
 OF VOLCANO KILAUEA
It IS Supposed That the Crater Was
 Cracked by an Earthquake.

Honolulu, Sept 9.-Via San Fran cisco, Sept. 15.)-Last Friday night September 4, a slight earthquake was felt on the island of Hawaii and at mid night, molten lava in the pit of the volcano of KilaUea suddenly ceased rising and Immediately began to run out below the surface like water in a bath tub from which the plug had been pulled. The molten lava ran rapidly away, lowering the level instantly and continuously until by Saturday morn ing, for a depth of 90e feet the lava in the pit had run out and except for the heated sides no fire was seen or heat felt
 As the lava lowered in the pit the walls scaled off in great masses, drop ping into the molten lava below. The few who were fortunate enough to see the wonderful phenomenon describe it as most awe inspiring.
 The lava in the pit, then about 300 or 1000 feet deep, began to rise nearly three years ago and had been rising gradually ever since, until it was with in about a hundred feet of the top of the pit It is supposed that the earth- quake opened some Assure below by which the lava flowed out, perhaps un- der the sea.

BRYAN HAS LAST WORD ON R0OSE EVELT LETTER
Mr. Taft Declines to Pursue the Con-
 troVersy Any Further.

Cincinnati, Sept. 15.-Wm. H. Taft today declined to go further with MT Bryan in the newspaper controversy over the issues of the campaign There is nothing in Mir. Bryan's state ment of today which seems to require an answer. Should it appear 90 later l will take up the subject in public speeches" This was Mir. Taft's ulti- matum as he expressed a willingness that MT. Bryan should have the last word of comment on the President Roosevelt letter
 This. the fifty-first anniversary or Mir. Taft's birthday, proved to be the busiest day he has had since his ar rival here a week ago. He delivered an address to night to an audience of ministers composing the Ohio con ference of the African Methodist Epis- cOpal church, the first speech of his campaign to negroes. The address was not political but gave a clear outline of the sympathetic understanding and feeling entertained for the struggles of the race by the candidate.

of the Philadelphia Record where he spoke to a large crowd
 MT. Bryan said the democratic plat form was offensive to the bosses and very offensive to the bosses of Phila- delphia.
 Some one in the crowd asked: How about Maine?" and Mir Bryan replied: Maine has turned the lowest repub- lican majority in 25 years and to be conservative I have decided on this showing to allow a few states to the republicans"
 He said that Mir. Taft had promised prosperity and President Roosevelt had endorsed the promise, but he asked how is MT. Taft going to give pros- perity when his godfather, Roosevelt, already had a panic on his hands.
 Following the speech the presidential candidate was driven to the Bellevue hotel where he was the guest at luncheon given by committee of New Jersey democrats in charge of Mir. Bryan's engagements in New Jersey.
 Mir. Bryan spoke this afternoon at Washington park, a pleasure resort on the New Jersey side of the Delaware river below Philadelphia. He then went to Trenton. where he spoke this evening and later in the night went to New York.

Mir Taft in a few remarks, said: q value the fact that you are inter ested in the campaign as evidenced by your presence here to meet one of the victims of that campaign engaged in going through two months of nervous strain that would bring nervous pros traitor to people less able to stand such a strain than two, perhaps of the several gentlemen engaged in the

THE BOOK Is CLOSED
 OF MIR. BRYAN'S PAST
He ResentS MT. Taft'S AIIusion to His Va
 regdted Record
He Demands Something More Specific From His Op- pOncnts Regarding the More Up-tO- Date Issues of the Current Year.

Philadelphia, Sept 15.-"Taft is lodging. He cannot escape from the issues. He will not be permitted to run away from them. He has accepted the nomination of his party Now let him take the people into his confidence and interpret the platform so that they will know where he stands and what he intends to do."
 In these words William J. Bryan in an interview today on the way from Baltimore to this city, issued another challenge to Taft, his republican op- ponent He read Taft's utterances printed this morning and dictated a retort which in part is as follows:
 Taft is lodging. Instead of defin- ing his position on public questions he is inquiring about my record. The inquiry shows that he knows as little about my record as he does about the public questions which he attempted to discuss. He accuses me of being Changeable and abandoning issues"
 MT. Bryan said he had been a tariff reformer for twenty eight years: had advocated the election of United States senators by the people for years; had been favorins an income tax fourteen years. Taft he said is only now com ing around to his position on these questions.
 Continuing Mir. Bryan said: "I said in 1898 the Filipinos ought to have in- dependence. Taft has this year admit ted that the people must ultimately have independence. I have maintain ed my position. I also discussed the Philippine question in this campagn and called attention to the fact that Taft made mistake of $114,OC0. 900 in his estimate of the cost of imperialism.
 ~On the railroad question he has ex- pressed himself as strongly as I have
Arizona republican., 1908-09-16

He said, and the president also said that government ownership would follow if the railroads prevent this regulation I said the same thing. do not desire government ownership. I hope the railroads will permit regu- lation. Our position only differs in that he has more faith than I in the willingness of the railroads to be reg ulated.
 He spends some time on the money question. The money question has been taken out of politics because the unexpected discovery of gold has given the increase which was demanded by the republican party as well as by the democratic party.
 Taft cannot escape from the is sues. Will he define his position on the tariff question; on the labor ques- tion; on the railroad question and all the questions presented in this cam paign? He will not be permitted to run away from them.
 If he prefers to delve into the past rather than to meet the issues of the present he will explain the Benquent railroad in the Philippines perpet- ual for which franchise was wanted to be fastened upon the Filipinos with perpetual guaranty of an income to the corporations securing the fran chises. VIII he explain his record on the labor question, and his silence on the tariff question and the trust ques- tion during his official service in Washington"
 MT. Bryan arrived here at 1925 from Baltimore. There was a crowd at the station, and after acknowledging the greetings he rode in an automobile to Donner's hotel where he had a brief reception and shook hands with hun dreds of admirers. Following the re- ception he was escorted to the office

Saratoga, Sept. 15.-The republican state ticket is as follows:

He received S27 out of a possible 1.OO9 votes, as against 151 for James W. Wadsworth jr. of Livingston county, speake- of the state assembly, and thirty-one for former Congressman John K. Stew art of Montgomery
 The nomination was made unani- nous on the motion of State Com mitteeman Wm. Barnes jr. of Albany, who has been perhaps the bitterest and most outspOken opponent of the governors nomination.
 The governors renOminatiOn follow ed the utter failure of a desperate struggle on the part of a number of county leaders who for four days ta q 1 candidate upon whom they could unite to defeat him. The remainder of the ticket was made up in the good old fashioned way" and the organization slate was announced an hour or more before the session of the convention began.
 The platform endorsed the national platform and says: At this critical time in the commercial and natural development of the world. with a revision of our tariff and our bank ing and currency laws impending. we urge every believer in sound money and in the American policy of pro- tecting the wage earner, the farmer and the mechanic, to support repub- lican candidates and a protective tar if"
 This morning the anti Hughes lead CTS had decided upon Dr. David Jayne Hill of Rochester. ambassador from the United States to Germany, as the man upon whom they could unite to defeat Hughes, but very few people believed Hill would be nom mated. Telegrams were received from Roosevelt Taft and others declaring
