The end of the upward movement

but few of these farms which are
today able to show in practice the
the rich returns demonstrated at the

been done, though, by the practical
pioneers, In the application of the
new methods, to prove that these
results may be had anywhere, on the

Fire Threntenp Luna Park.

NEW YORK. July 9.-F1re which caused
a loss Of S25O,O0O. at Coney Island early to-
day destroyed two large hotels and for a
time threatened the destruction OF Luna
park, Dreamland and Steeplechase park.
Fire Chief Lally OF Brooklyn made a fly
ing trip from his headquarters in an auto
mobile, covering nearly ten miles in
twelve minutes. He arrived as the flames
leaped over to the tower of the Culver
line station Of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
system and ordered into service the new
high pressure system using salt water
mains. The system worked perfectly and
greatly aided in checking the flames that
were famed by a strong east wind.
Water was thrown on nearby buildings
and Dreamland and Luna park were de-
luged to prevent further spread of the
flames. The fire was under control in two
hours and a big force of police were
guarding the ruins from hooters. Twenty
five thousand persons watched the fire
rapidly devour the frame structures and
saw many guests in scanty attire leap
from hotel windows. Mrs. Lilly Hennings
was overcome by smoke in Vandervers
hotel and was rescued with difficulty by

His Men Declare bryan Followers Of

DENVER. July 9.-Colonel Guffey. who
was the storm center OF last nights fight
on the floor OF the convention. was early In
consultation with his li%eutenants today.
and with the elements outside the deleEa-
ton who saw IN last nights vote a re-
naming nance to overcome the Bryan
strength. He had little TO say on the re-
suit. except to remark:
You will notice l was present when the
voting took place"
He could not discuss the vote In detail.
but seemed to think that while It demon
strated a heavy current OF opposition to the
plans of those controlling the convention,
Mr. Bryan might develop greater strength
on a presidential ballot than he did on
the question last night But the total OF
81 votes inspired the allied opposition with
new hopes.
II developed in this connection that a
strong effort was made to avoid the vote
OF last night, as the Bryan managers de-
sired not to have an issue which would
disclose the strength OF the two contendinE
elements. The Guffey men say that the
report on credentials was delayed a full
hour, while overtures were made TO Colonel
Guffey not 70 present the minority report.
thus avoiding a division and an open vote.

Dean Burnett of State Agricultural
College and Labor Commissioners
Ryder VIII visit North
Platte Station.

Dean f. A.. Burnett of the Nebraska
Agricultural college and j. ]. Ryder, state
labor commissioner, were in Omaha Thurs
dav enroute to North Platte to visit the
branch experiment station conducted under
the state agricultural college.
For some time Nebraska mas been making
experiments in the conservation Of mois-
ture in the dry farming regions Of western
Nebraska, and Dean Burnett expressed
himself as we'll pleased with the success
with which the work is meeting.
Superintendent Snyder OF the North
Platte station is to give a picnic roundup
shortly, and invite all the farmers and
land owners in western Nebraska to at
tend and see the results of the experiments
in soil treatment.
This region is to have a special division

also in Omaha Thursday. Mr.. Pugsley
wants to increase the space allowed Me-
braska for the exhibit at the big national
agricultural show as the space reserved.

get 1000 square feet Of space in the big
corn palace.
The state department Of North Carolina
filed application Thursday for space at the
corr show and promises to send q big ex-

GRAY TIL BEING IMPoRTUNED
Delaware Man Continues to Receive
Letters or Vice Presidency.

Delaware nan Continues to Receive
Letters on Vice Presidency.
WILMINGTON, Del. July 9.-Despite the
absolute quality of his refusal to accept
the nomination for vice president at the
hands Of the democratic national conven-
ton, Judge George Gray continues to re-
ceive communications in reference to the
subject.
Answering inquiries today, Judge Gray
stated that he had received no letter from
Henry Watterson of Louisville, pleading
with him to accept the nomination for
vice president as had been reported. but
that he had received last Friday q tele-
gram from the veteran editor urging him to
acquiesce in the proposition.
He replied as he had replied to the Asso-
ciated Press that he would under no cir
cumstances accept such a nomination
should It be made"
This. he says, is still his attitude and
will be unalterably to the end.
Beyond these steady refusals Judge Gray
has done nothing to check the movement
for his nomination for vice president and
does not consider it necessary that he
should resort to any measures at present.
Omaha daily bee., 1908-07-10

According to the Guffey men. distinct over
lures were made TO the Pennsylvania leader
to secure this end. namely, that he should
remain as national committeeman from
Pennsylvania. But while this would have
insured his continued leadership. II Is said
that Colonel Guffey fatty refused to con-
slider the proposition, as It involved the
sacrifice OF the Philadelphia delegates, for
whom he had commended. The Guffey men
are confident that these overtures, de-
signed to avoid a vote. came as a result
Of the advice to the Bryan men from
Lincoln.
The Pennsylvania delegation has not yet
caucused under it's new basis OF member
ship, which places the Guffey anti-Bryan
element in a minority, but a re-arrange-
ment Of leadership and voting strength will
probably be made today.
