High Tribute to Department

Washington, June 30-"I'm in pro-
cess OF sloughing off my official robes"
This was the laconic description of
his condition given by Secretary Will
liam II. Taft this evening at the war
department, He has been working hard
during the day in the disposition Of de-
partmental business. He gave notice
early In the day that he did not purpose
to discuss politics in the last hours or
his administration as secretary Of war,
because Of the enormous amount of
routine matter which he necessarily
had on hand. Throughout the day he
was in consultation with Governor
Wright, who Is to be his successor, and
with bureau chiefs Of the department.
The only real political conference he
had during the day was with Repre-
sentative Burton OF Cleveland. O., who

to the political conditions in Ohio. Mr.

he is especially sollcitous.
AT the conclusion of the conference,
Mr.. Burton said:
Mr.. yorys, who has been mentioned

SUFFRAGETTES RIOT
Twenty nine Women Arrested

Women Smash Windows of Premler's
Residence by Throwing Stones

London, June 30.--contrasted with
the recent orderly and impressive suf-
fragette demonstrations, today's de-
monstration was a comparative failure
and is calculated rather to injure than
TO advance the cause It intended to
serve. Nothing like the number Of suf-
fragettes anticipated appeared on the
scene and the affair seemed to lack a
definite plan and organization. The

The police, mounted and on foot,
were In strong force In the vicinity OF
parliament and for two or three hours
that neighborhood was the scene OF
riots and skirmiehes through the efforts
Of the suffragettes to break through
the Gordon and reach the lobby of the
house Of commons. Numerous ruses
and DISCUSSES were employed for this
purpose, but none succeeded, and In the
end 70 OF the women were arrested. in

tween Mr., Bryan and Mr.. sullivan and
other Influential membefs OF the MI
nois delegation no particular amount
of love Ia lost and reports have been
circulated that II an anti injunction
plank IS adopted more radical In its
character than the Illinois people feel
they can approve that the state, when
1t comes to balloting for president,
Will break away from Its Bryan in
structions.
sullivan denied this emphatically
to-day. He said.
We are told to stick for Bryan,
and we are going to stick. I do not
believe that any platform fight can
change our present program. Illinois
has no Idea of breaking away from Its
instructions"
The forces opposed to a radical la
Dor plank were stronger to-day by the
arrival Of Charles G. Heifner OF Wash
ington state, who has the proxy OF
John Y. Terry, the national commit
teeman from that state Mr.. Heifner
announced emphatlcally that the Pa
cific coast and particularly the state
Of Washington, was opposed to the
adoption Of such plank as was pre-
scented at Chicago by Samuel Gompers
and other officials Of the American
| Federation Of Labor. The adoption
by our party Of sllHl a plank would
be transparent sop to union labor
which would be repugnant to voters
of all sections Of the country. II
would be promise that no law maxi
Ing body would be willing to fulfill
1t would not help but would injure
the democratic ticket at the polls"
Mr.. Heifner believed that the vice
presidency will go to the east.
The coming OF Mr.. Heifner with his
statement Of the sentiment on the Pl
cific coast against the proposed anti
Injunction plank. and the announcement
In the east that Martin w. Littletor
Of New York will come here to make :
fight agaist the insertion Of such
plank in the platform, easily makes THU
question the most important under dis
cussion. New England is said to b.
opposed TO the plank and New Jerse,
and Pennsylvania also are accredite'
with pronounced antagonism to sucl
a resolution. II the New York dele
cation and the Pacific coast delega
lions should take determined stant
against It, the fight would assume for
midable proportions. 1t is not believed
here that the opposition Of Sullivan
of Illinois, and Taggart OF Indiana
means that the entire delegation from
these states will oppose Mr.. Bryan
wishes. Most Of the central and west
ern southern states, It is said. will b.
lined up to support whatever program
Mr. Bryan's friends present.

JUDGE GRAY MAY
RUN WITH BRYAN
Maryland Man Takes Leap to
First Place Among Candi-
didates for Democratic
Vice Presidency.
FIGHT AGAINST RADICALISM
Sullivan and Taggart Strongly Opposed
to Adopting Gompers Injunc-
ton Plank as Sop to
Labor.

Denver, June 3Gs&Although candi-
dates for the nomination for vice.
president on the democratic ticket are
numerous and despite the, fact that
their number Is likely to be largely In
creased before a choice Is actually
made, 1t is the general opinion among
such leaders of the party rs are now
here that II George Gray Of Della
ware, will declare his willingness to
accept the second place on the ticket
he can have 1t. Josiah Marvel, man
ager Of the Gray presidential cam
paign, who arrived in Denver tonight,
will not, however, give his consent. He
insists that the Delaware man Is q
candidate for first place and when It
is settled that he cannot have first
place it will be ample time to place
him in the running for the secondary
position provided he cares to take 1t.
Mr.. Marvel denies. however, that
Judge Gray will be satisfied with any
thing less than the head of the ticket.
1t Is we'll known that Mr.. Bryan
would be pleased to have Judge Gray
for the vice presidential candidate and
the only thing that prevents the latter
from becoming leading candidate for
that position is the simple but all
powerful fact that he will not declare
himself to be a candidate at all.
The Gray presidential boom was
formally launched to-day and head
quarters were opened in the Savoy ho-
tel During the early afternoon a
corps of expert bill stickers were go
ing about the hotels putting UP litho-
graphs Of the Delaware candidate. No
other pictures have been placed as
yet, and the Gray men secured the
most prominent places in the Hobbies
of all the leading hotels. The John
son headquarters will not be opened
for several days and the date on which
the Bryan banners will be thrown Out
has not been determined yet. but II
will be Saturday or Sunday after the
arrival of the Nebraska delegation.
