TAMMANY CHIEF
LOSES TONGUE
MURPHY REFUSES TO SHOW
CARD IN HOLE
New York Delegation to Hold Caucus
This Afternoon and Decide Which
Candidate viii Receive
Votes
BY Associated Press,


DENVER, July THE New York
delegation will hold its third caucus of
the convention tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock to reach long delayed decis-
ion as to which candidate for the pres
idential nomination shall receive the
big block of seventy-eight votes from
the Empire State.
The caucus has been called by
Charles f. Murphy, leader of Tammany
Hall and chairman of the degelation.
The adherents of Mr.. Bryan still claim
that New York will vote for the Ne
braskan, while the opposing forces are
them in their efforts to block nominal
ton on the first ballot.
Mr.. Murphy maintains the same
sphynXlike silence which has charac-
terized his attitude ever since his ar
rival in Denver.
! A spirit of Cancellation, it is said,
still'pervades the Tammany delegation.
AS an evidence of this 1t Is pointed out
that Judge Alton B. Parker who was
reported as coming to Denver as the
representative of New York state in
fight against the adoption of an anti
injunction plank, went into the session
of the committee on resolutions tonight
to advocate an anti-inJunction plank
which is declared to have been drawn
formed a part of the tentative platform
put forth today by the New York dele
cation.
Lewis Nixon was chairman of the
subcommittee of the New York dele
cation that brought this about, and it
is the boast of the delegation leaders
tonight that they have conciliated the
radical, conservative and labor inter
ests all at once, and that they have put
forth a strong bid for the western vote
by putting in a naval plank to estab-
fish a fleet on both coasts.
Delegates from the west advocated
such a plank in platforms of both par
ties. but the New York people say the
west was ignored in this request by the
Republicans.
Altogether, the New York delegation
displays a feeling of contentment with
its position at the convention, despite
the criticism that has been uttered be-
cause of its failure to express prefer
ence as to the presidency.
1t was said tonight fourth caucus
might be held after the nomination of
a presidential candidate to decide
where the support of the state shall be
thrown In the vice presidential con-
test.

STATE
PRACTICALLY is
WHOLE CIRCUS
CALIFORNIA CAPTURES DEN
YER AND CONVENTION
THEODORE BELL NOW IN FIGHT
FOR SECOND PLACE
More Than One Hundred and Fifty
Delegates Are Already Pledged
to the Temporary
Chairman
BY FRANK THOMPSON Starlight

Special to The Herald
DENVER, July 7.-There wasn't
much of anything to the big Demo-
cratic national convention today but
California. California won a brave fight
against flood and bad railroad trackage
from Lincoln to Denver California
marched into the auditorium arrayed
in the nattiest, coolest, whitest duck
hats ever worn along with the other
things that people have to wear; Cali
fornia arose and cheered their leader,
Temporary Chairman Bell, in way
that inspired other cheerers to greater
efforts; California caused the every
ten-minute extras of the Denver news
papers, and California topped it all off
by entertaining notables in California
headquarters in true California style.
No, that isn't quite all of 1t, nor half
all of it, nor even a beginning, If the
Importance of a day may be considered
in the probabilities of the remainder
of the week, for the fact is that the
situation at midnight shows Theodore
A. Bell with $50 to 100 delegates pledged
to support him for the vice presidential
nomination and his strength growing
every minute, all of it from start to
present unsolicited and modestly re-
ceived as news by the California man
who set the great convention wild.
California seemed to know that she
was going to have enough leisure to
take things easy and early in the day
she held little joke feast at general
headquarters to the delegation in
Hotel Law.
A meeting was called for some mys-
FERROUS purpose. 1t developed that
eight cases of wines-principally good
wines of champagne vartety--had dis
appeared. AS 1t had been brought part
of the way at least by the Santa Clara
crowd Santa Clara was interested in
solving the mystery. Sill of Alameda
thing to do would be to buy some more
of it in Denver and make good. Bow
den of Santa Clara had few things to
say about it, and Milton X. Young of
Los Angeles came along with a bunch
of Southern California humor to the
effect that he knew the wine couldn't
have been stolen, since he had seen
certain brethren going early and often
to the buffet, and he started to men,
tion them, but no names shall be given
here, suffice to say that Isadore Dock
weller and Mattison B. Jones protested
vigorously against further speech.
Finally Caps of San Diego said there
had been four barrels of San Diego
beer aboard the train when they
started, and that although two of them
had been intended for Denver no beer
remained when they reached here. He
had faint, vague suspicion that some
thing like that might have happened
to the missing wine. So the committee
they went to the trouble of appointing
one-was instructed to buy some more
Santa Clara wine, and the meeting
closed.
Tonight, from to midnight and
after, great crowds thronged the Cali
fornia headquarters, and California's
triumph of the day was complete with
the appearance of Bell and his happy,
though brief speech to the visitors.

CHEER AFTER CHEER GREETS ADDRESS OF THEODORE A. BELL
INDIANS DEFY THE
NATION; RUN OUT SHERIFF

MUsKOGEE, Okla, July 7.-The sheriff
of Mcintosh and Omulgee counties went to
the Old Hickory grounds, near Henrietta
today to investigate the uprising of Snake
Indians, and were driven away from the
camp by thirty armed Indians and negroes.
Before sending them away Crazy Snake
delivered a message, defying the laws OF
the state and The United States government,
who, he declares, have authority over
the Indians.
The officers will get into communication
with Guthrie and it is probable state troops
will be sent to dispense the malcOntents.
Crazy Snake is the leader of several I'M
civilized Creek Indians, many off whom do
not speak English. They find the laws Of
the new state Objectionable, and are en-
ragged by Crazy Snakes assertion that they
are being cheated in the land allotments.

PRESIDENT INSPECTS
STEAMER ROOSEVELT
IMPRESSED WITH CRAFT BEAR
ING HIS NAME
Chief Executive Shakes Hands with
Sailors Bound for North Pole
and Wishes Them Good
Luck

By Associated Press.
OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July 7.-"My,
my, what fine ship" remarked Presi-
dent Roosevelt as he approached the
Arctic steamer Roosevelt, lying at an
Choir near the presidents yacht, Sylph,
in oyster Bay harbor this afternoon.
Commander Robert e. Peary, u. S.
NJ, the Arctic explorer, who was at his
side, agreed with the president and
thanked him for the compliment.
Captain Bartlett of the Roosevelt
made apologies to the president for
her appearance, saying she did not
come up to the standard of the United
States navy.
Don't care what she loks like, cap
tain," replied the president; '1t's what
she does"
The president insisted upon going
down the ladder into the engine room
and seeing everything there was to be
seen. When he came up he was wiping
perspiration from his brow, but seemed
to be enjoying himself nevertheless.
Climbing upon the forecastle deck,
the president found the crew of the
Roosevelt lined UP. He was intro
duced to each individually. AS he
grasped successfully the hands OF the
sailors he had something different to
say to each.
Commander Peary said his last good
by to the president as Mr.. Roose-
welt was about to go over the side into
the Sydph's launch He shook hands
with the explorer, saying that hunting
the pole is good sport.
"Inasmuch as cannot go along with
you myself" said the president, "all
can do is to wish that good luck may
so with you. 1 feel confident that you
will get there this time, If it is possible
to do so. If you do not, do the best
you can. Good by"
Captain Bartlett, shaking hands with
the president and bidding him good
by, said:
ITS 80 or nothing, the north pole or
bust this time, Mr.. President"
The president laughed and cried out
to Captain Bartlett and his men, Good
by, captain; good by, boys; good luck
to you all. I believe you'll get there
this time.''
The Roosevelt weighed anchor at $50
p. m. and steamed out of the harbor.
At Sydney, c. B., Commaner Peary
will rejoin the ship.

KILLS COUSIN WHILE
TRYING TO DEFEND HER
As Result Of Remarkable Tragedy at
Vlncennes, Ind, Woman Is
Dead and Man Fatally
Injured

CHICAGO, July Ia dispatch to
the Record Herald from Vincennes,
Ind, says: Miss Wayne Baker, 20
years old, is dead, and Charles Ingle,
40, is mortally wounded as the result
of a remarkable tragedy in the girls
home yesterday.
Mrs. Ollie Youngblood Ellis, cousin
of the girl killed, admits, it is alleged,
that she fired all the shots and says
she was trying to drive away Ingle,
who in a fit of rage had seized Miss
Baker. threatening her with harm.
Mystery surrounds the affair and the
stories of the wounded man and wom-
an do not agree. Ingle insists he was
simply attempting to warn the woman,
who, he says, had annoyed his sisters
husband, to leave town, and he claims
the shooting was without provocation.
The bullets which ended Miss Bakers
life were aimed at Ingle, who, Mrs.
Ellis says. at the time had the girl in
his grasp.
Ingle was taken to jail on suspicion
that he had killed the girl. and de-
spite prompt treatment of his wounds
the surgeons hold out no hope for his
recovery.
