BRYAN MEN YIELD
Minnesota All for Johnson and Threatened Bolt Does Not
 Materialize.
BRYAN IS TURNED DOWN
Convention Refuses, by Vote of 772 to 186, to Name Peerless Leader
 as Second Choice.

St. Paul, Mlnn.. May l4-The demo- crats of Minnesota today formally in dorsed Governor Johnson as a presi- dential candidate and at the same time by vote of 772 to 166 refused 10 de- clare in favor of William J. Bryan as a second choice,
 The followers of Mir. Bryan did not carry out the threat which they have so often made during the last ten days that they would bolt and hold trump" convention If their contests were defeated before the committee on credentials, or if they were not able to secure a partial endorsement of their leader. They made a sturdy fight for their man, and when they had been defeated remained quietly In their seats and made no mo- ton to leave.
 Several days ago they had gone 10 the length of leasing a hall two blocks from tho auditorium in which the con- ventlon of today was held, to indorse Bryan and select contesting delega- ton to Denver. The hall was ready for them today but none of them went near 1t.
 The Johnson men were generous In their victory and declared In their plat form that while they entertained "an affection for and confidence in the in tegrity and ability of William J. Bryan" they believed that Johnson was a man better calculated to bring success to the democratic party and was first entitled to the support of Minnesota.
 The fight at times waxed warm while the debate on the platform was in pro- gress, but there was nothing approach ing disorder at any time.
 The convention of today was a flat terlng tribute 10 Governor Johnson. The enthusiasm for him was unbounded and sincere. every mention of his name was instantly followed by a yell of delight and the final adoption of the platform formally indorsIng him and instructing Minnesota to fight for him at Denver was followed by demon- stration of enthusiastic loyalty

EVIDENCE OF VALUE
Portions of Human Jaw Found in Ruins of Gunness
 Fire.
HARD BLOW TO DEFENSE
Tends to Show That Fire Destroyed Skull of Mrs. Gunncss Missing
 from Body.

Laporte, Ind, May 1i.--Portions of human Jaw bones and piece of skin on which traces of hair are apparent and which may prove 10 be a part of a human scalp, were found late to- day in the cellar of the Gunness farm house. With one accord the prose- cutting officers of the county declared to-day that these relics are the most valuable to their case that have yet been discovered
 The bones were found by the men who have been sitting the ashes in the cellar of the house, under the d. rectlon of Sheriff Smutzer. This pro- cess was begun to-day as a prelimin- ary to the mining work by Louis C. Schultz. the object being the remov- al of the coarser debris before the stuff was put into the slulce box.
 Shortly after 1t began several large pieces of metal and watch came rattling down the screen. The sher- Tiff at once ordered one of the men to sort over the larger pieces and late in the day two pieces of human jaw bones were found The piece of skin was also found by this method, the late discoveries being made after the men had begun work on the portion of the cellar where the bodies had beeen.
 There was a hurried call for phy- siclans who have been assisting the coroner when the specimens were brought to town.
 The pieces of bone are from the upper jaw of a human being" said Dr. J. Fl. William Meyers. Tt is im- possible to determine the nature of the skin or hair 1t may have come from some animal or 1t may have been q portion of someone's scalp"
 The days findings also included several charred yertebrae
 Dr. c. S Mack, the coroner in dis cussing the bones, said:
 q don't know whether the jaw bones are human or animal relies"
 A formal report on the bones is to be made to the coroner by the physic ians as soon as examinations have been made. If the doctors find con cluslvely that the jaws to which ihe fragments belong were human, the contention of the defense that ;herc Is doubt as to the identity of the adult body found after the fire will be given hard blow. The circumstances will then tend to show that the fire really destroyed the skull of Mrs. Gunness, thus accounting for the disapp pearance of the head of the corpse.
 Two watches were discovered in the screenings to-day, the total of these relics now being ten pieces.

NO DISTRICT UNION
Plan of Cigarmakers for New England Body Given Up
 for Present.
MAY COME UP LATER ON
Need of a Change In Constitution the Principal Trouble-French Re-
 turns Next Week.

The call sent out for a meeting of representatives of cigarmakers' unions all over New England, in Springfield, at q date later to be announced, has not met with ready response and as q result it Is probable that the move- mont to form district union of the national cigarmakers union will be abandoned.
 The movement for the district union was the result of the decision of the international body in regard to the difficulties between the New Haven local and the Manufacturers dssocia- ton. The decision was favorable to the manufacturers, and the local union immediately protested against .he fur ther employment of national arbiters, or agents. A preliminary conference was held in Springfield toward form ing a district union which should de- eide every matter before allowing 1t to go to the international union, and calls were sent out for the conference. The international union in a commun- ication sent to several of the locals said that such district union could not be formed without a change in the international constitution, and some of the locals have been afraid to go ahead with the plan.
 one of the members of the local union said last night that while the matter might be dropped for the pres ent 1t was sure to come up at later date The men are getting along very well now in the local shops and Arbi- ter French will return to Chicago next week.

M NERNEY IS NEXT
Another Democratic Deputy a Registrar to Be Taken f' from List.
ARE SEVEN CHANGES NOW
Indications Point to Almost an En- tire Cleanout of Present
 Deputies.

Although General Registrar John J, Mcfarland has not filed his list of deputies and 1t Is now understood that he will take the time limit allowed by the law In which to do so, things that are doing in the line of changes in the makeup of the ward registrars are leaking out. Aside from the six who are to go as mentioned by The Journal Courier last week another name is now said to have got the blue pencil and that Is that of Peter J, McNerney of the Second ward. The six already slat- cd are Director of Public Works Foley in the Eleventh, Superintendent of Streets Cronln of the seventh, Assist ant City Clerk Moran of the Ninth, be- cause they have to by holding other city offices, Registrar Hunie, now turn key at the jail because he cannot at tend to the duties with his present job, and Registrars Heating and Mccarthy of the Fifth and Sixth because they opposed the present regime in it's att tempts to land the nominations. The same is the reason that MT. McNerney is said to be slated for removal.
 In making up the list of his depu- ties Registrar Mcfarland Is said to be going according 10 the dictates of the administration. All who opposed the Martin forces and worked for the Avis faction must go for in the words of well known local democrat those who are not with us are against us" and the administration is taking on chances of having a fight among the leaders on It's hands Mir, McNerney allied as he Is with the McGann forces and the show down that was made at the city convention between that faction and the administration party Is up against 1t and it Is now generally conceded that he Is a goner. At the city convention the administration triumphed hands down and McGann and his followers gave tn.
 The retreat, however, was only 10 gain wind and when Mir McPartlan Is list comes out with It's expected changes. which will be In wards all over the city, a faction will spring up in the democratic party, which while 1t may hamper the interests of the en- tire party In the coming state election will proceed to gather enough moss to make things interesting when the next city campaign comes along
 With seven changes already assured fin the fifteen wards of the city and more probable when the list does come out. 1t will be practically entirely new Who the successors of those Ito be re- tired" are to be there Is no telling. It is assured, however. that they will be from those who have been tried and are true.
