AFTER TALK WITH BRYAN
Delegate Says Strong Anti-InJunction
Plank Is Likely.

Lincoln, Neb., June 30.-After an
hours visit with William ]. Bryan
Judge w. w. Black of Everett, Wash,
delegate to the national Democratic
convention, declared that he believed
the national platform would contain a
strong anti-injunction plank. The
plank In the Republican platform is
considered weak by both the corpora
tions and the laboring men, according
to Judge Black, but the Democratic
platform will speak in no uncertain
terms, he believes.
John W. Kern of Indiana was the
only candidate for the vice presidency
mentioned by Mr.. Black. He thought
geographical location would have moth
ing to do with the selection of can
didate for vice president. The candi-
date must first of all be Bryan man,
he said. John W. Kern would be en-
tirely acceptable to the Bryan men of
the country, according to Judge Black.

SEVEN KILLED IN CYCLONE
Wind Storm Partially Destroys
Town of Clinton, MINI.

Ortonville, Mimi, June 30.-Seven
persons were killed, eleven seriously
injured, sixty others hurt and thirty
three buildings completely demolished
by cyclone which struck the village
of Clinton, a short distance north of
this city Property to the value of
s145, 900 was destroyed.
The storm covered an area of 800
yards wide and four miles long and a
tour along the path of the storm shows
desolation as complete as It is possible
to picture.
People who have experienced other
tornadoes say that this left the most
complete ruin In it's wake of any In
their experience. The marvel Is that
so few were killed and that the list
of injured isn't longer.
The storm first struck the earth
outside of town, where a number OF
buildings were demolished and three
people killed. Coming to the village
of Clinton the real havoc was done.
All the southwest corner of the town
is absolutely cleaned out. Thirty
three houses were completely de-
stroyed and twenty-five practically
ruined.
Everywhere are the usual evidences
of wind storms. chickens stripped of
their feathers and branches driven
through the trunks of large trees.
The devastation in the city is al
most wholly among the smaller prop
+erty owners whose homes represented
their total savings. These people have
been stripped of everything, in many
casessnot having sufficient clothing In
which to appear on the streets.
part of the cyclone which wrecked
Clinton struck mixed train as 1t was
leaving the station. The thirteen cars
were lifted from the track and hurled
into the ditch. Two of the cars were
demolished.

BIG FIGHT PREDICTED.
Opposition at Denver to Radical
Anti-Injunction Plank.
BRYAN SILENT ON SUBJECT
Desires to Obtain Views of as Many
Democrats as Possible Before Ex-
pressing Any Wish Regarding Word
ing of Platform.

Denver, June 30.-Rumblings of op-
position to a radical anti-injunction
plank in the Democratic platform have
reached the ears of the Bryan leaders
and they declared that the critics are
not only premature but are spending
their strength in fighting shadow.
Not even a draft of the anti-injunc-
tion plank has been prepared, nor has
its substance been determined upon.
1t is realized on all sides that the
wording of this plank is a matter of
great Importance and 1t will not be
done until after full discussion with
party leaders from all sections of the
country. Mr.. Bryan, his friends de-
clare, is anxious to obtain the views of
as many men as possible on this mat
ter before expressing any wish in re-
gard to the wording or character of
this plank.
Roger C. Sullivan, national commit
teeman of Illinois, gave out state
ment embodying his views of what the
platform should be. Mr.. Sullivan is
not the subject of ardent admiration
on the part of Mr. Bryan, who once
specifically requested that he resign
from the national committee, and it
is not to be expected therefore that
Mr.. Sullivan has concerned himself
greatly regarding the views on plat
form entertained at Lincoln While
his statement deals largely with gen.
eralities Mr.. Sullivan makes it clear
that he is opposed to any plank which
differentiates between classes of citi-
zens either in or out of the courts.
That all men should be equal before
the law he declares is the doctrine
which all members of the Democratic
party are essentially bound to main
tain.

FEW CONTESTS TO SETTLE
Democratic Committee VIII Hear Evi.
dence July 6.

Denver, June 30.-It has been ar
ranged, In accordance with the Gus
tom of the Democratic party, that all
contests for seats on the temporary
roll call of the convention will be
heard by a subcommittee of the ma
tional committee, which Is to meet on
July 6. Although 1t is permissible for
any contestant to file notice of his
forthcoming protest as late as the day
on which the subcommittee will meet
it is not believed by the members of
the national committee that the num-
ber will be sufficiently large to con-
sumo more than portion of the single
day set apart for the hearing of evil
dence. The findings of the sub-com-
mittee will be turned over on the
night of July to a meeting of the
full committee, which will have its
report ready for presentation when
the convention is called to order on
the following day.

Washington, June 30.-The state de-

TROOPS HURRIED TO SCENE
internal Troubles Along the Northern
Border of That Country Become
Serious-united States Asked to En-
force Neutrality Laws.

City of Mexico, June 30.-The inter
nal troubles in Mexico, which devel-
oped several days ago along the north
ern border of the republic, have de-
veloped serious features. The storm
now centers around the city OF Tor
reon and In the country between that
place and Jaral, where bandit bands
are operating in conjunction with the
insurrectionists. Government troops
are rushing to the scene. Already
1900 federal soldiers have reached
Torreon to reinforce the garrison
there, 200 more have reached JuareZ
and in Chihuahua soldiers are patrol
tng the streets and the public houses
and jails are heavily guarded. In view
of the latest developments Ambassa-
dor Creel, who has been here on what
promised to be long leave of abb
sence, has been instructed to return
to Washington without delay.
1t is the belief of the Mexican gov
ernment that the revolutionary move
ment now in progress was fomented
by band of agitators who long have
made their headquarters in the United
States. On this ground, 1t is believed,
Ambassador Creel will appeal to the
United States authorities to assist in
apprehending some of the revolution
lists, particularly those who were con-
cerned in the attack on Las Vacos.
The request will be made also that If
any Of the ringleaders in the move
ment are captured In the United
States they are to be tried in the
courts of that country on charges of
violating the neutrality laws.
At Las Vacos, where the first seri-
Gus attack was made, the government
has gained the upper hand. Troops
situation in that city. the rebels and
bandits who composed the attacking
force having been driven back to the
mountains. They will not be permit
ted to rest there undisturbed, how
ever, as the government purposes to
make an example of its foes as an OBJ
ject lesson to others who might join
the movement in other sections. To
this end large force of cavalry has
been sent into the hills on the heels
of the fugitives and the chase is now
In progress.
1t is the view of the Mexican gov
ernment that Mexican citizens who
were concerned in the recent raids
are common criminals and that the
contention to the contrary on the
ground that their acts were committed
in furtherance of a revolutionary
movement will not hold.

JUDGE SEEMS FAVORABLE
Thaw May Secure Jury to Pass
on His Sanity.

White Plains, N. Y, June 30.-
Harry Thaws chances for a jury trial
as to his sanity appear to be very
bright At the conclusion of argument
before Justice Mills in the supreme
court here the justice said:
II believe 1t should be only matter
of time when this man ought to have
a jury trial. / am not prepared to
say whether 1t should be now or later" i"
The Judge then ordered that Thaw
should be detained in the Poughkeep-
sic jail and adjourned the case to July
Is, when new arguments and affidavits
will be submitted. Thaw was taken
back to Poughkeepsie.
New York, June 30.-Justice Dow
ling has denied the application of
Harry X. Thaw to be removed from
the Matteawan state asylum for the
criminal insane to some other institu-
ton. The decision says: "If after
sufficient observation it is found proper
to remove him to some other ipstitu-
tioc the state authorities can so act"
Jusl.3e Dowling's decision further
declares that Thaw is a dangerously
insane person, who is not to be pun
ished, but to be kept under the proper
restraint that he may injure neither
himself nor any one else;" and says
that the affidavits submitted set forth
absolutely no reason why the change
desired should be made
