JAY BOWERMAN WILL BE NOMINATED
FOR GOVERNOR BY STATE ASSEMBLY

at the armory, w. G. Bristol, of
Portland, was elected temporary
chairman.
J. A. Gibson, of Clackamas coun-
ty, was appointed temporary secre-
tary.
After credentials had been passed
upon, Walter Tooze, Wallace Nc
Camant, George Brown and other
well known republican war horses,
delivered glowing addresses uphold
ing the assembly plan of nomination,
and replied to the arguments put
forward by opponents of the assem-
ply.
The assembly then adjourned un-
til this afternoon.
The principal interest here this
afternoon centered upon the fight
for the gubernatorial recommends
ton.
AS previously stated the fight
seemed to be between DR.. Andrew C.
mith, of Portland, and Jay Bower
man, of Condor.
Bowerman seemingly had the lead
and his adherents were busily en-
gagged in shouting that he would
win over Smith and have 100 votes
to spare.
c. B. Moores, formerly of Salem,
now of Portland, was the mysterious
dark horse. His followers, and
there were a number, had him
groomed and ready to plunge into
the race at the opening of the after
noon session.
1t was the prevailing opinion at
noon that all chance of making
Mayor Joseph Simon, Of Portland, Il
compromise candidate for governor,
had passed.
The Simon forces last night were
stirring up dissension among the
delegates, it is asserted but their ef-
forts, politicians declare, met with
non-success.

injured as result of the premature
explosion today of a 12-inch gun at

The breech of the big gun was blown

Of 80 officers of the artillery. corps,
who are attending the artillery school
at Fortress Monroe.
When the accident occurred Ave
batteries were making ready to fire
at a target 6OOO yards away across
Hampton roads.
The story of the accident was given
out at the war department today. In
an official statement the number OF
dead was axed at 10, and those IA
tally injured at two. Lieutenant
Van Dusen is the only commanding
officer hurt. He was in charge of the
firing squad.
Most of the dead were standing al
most directly between the gun and
the emplaoement when 1t exploded.
The breech block was thrown back
among the men with terrific force.
The killed were literally blown TO
pieces. They were hurled back from
the emplacement. One Of the less
severely injured was thrown more
than 100 feet from the gun.
It was impossible for a time to de-
termine the number of dead, Identl-
fiation was finally accomplished by
the process of elimination, rather
than by the actual recognition Of the
torn and bleeding bodies that were
finally carried away by other mem
bers of the artillery corps.
Hospital surgeons were rushed to
the scene, and the injured attended
where they fell.
The accident created intense confu-
sion and for a time organized effort
to care for the injured and dying was
not attempted. Soon, however, the
officers had control of the situation.
and the systematic investigation of
the accident begun.
