According to private messages re- ceived this morning the report quickly spread that the explosion was the work of striking iron workers. against whom the Times has been waging a bitter fight as it has relentlessly opposed unionism for years.
 The report is based on no other evidence than the attitude of the Times toward the strikers, whom it has charged with recent dynamiting or at tempted dynamiting of buildings on which non-uniOn labor was employed
 It was later stated in private messages that it would be impossible this morning to secure more than the most meager details of the disaster on account of the confusion that reigned
 The telephone wires in the peighbor- hood of the building were wrecked.

Pueblo Sept. 30-"Under our lax laws, state and national four fifths of the resources of the country passed in- to the hands of monopolists. We of the conservation movement are trying to save the other fifth for the people"
 Francis J. Heney. speaking for the National Irrigation congress on the last day of the session. was given an ovation when he defined the purpose of the conservatIOnists in these words.
 Two thirds of our coal lands have already been given away" he con tinued. Any policy advocating re- tention of ineffective laws for giving away the other third of our birthdight can only be considered a policy of foolishness. Why were we not wise enough to act when the populists told us these things fifteen years ago?'

SH|NDELBOWER BOYS
 ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT
Claim is Made They Cruelty Mistreat.
 ed Five -year-oId Lad.

Charged with having cruelty mis- treated a five year-old boy named Mckee, two Shindelbower boys. one ten years old, the other twelve, broth CTS of Frank Shindelbower, who is now serving a term in the territorial prison for perjury in connection with evidence given by him in behalf of the Anti-S Saloon Leagues crusade against a local saloon, were arrested by the police yesterday morning and lodged in the city jail. Later when the father of the little lad who was the victim of the assault alleged to have been perpetrated by the older boys. made formal complaint before Justice Johnstone, the Shindelbower boys were transferred to the care of the county. Last night they were paroled in the custody of Dr. H. A Hughes for appearance today.
 According to the story told by the Mckee boy, the two lads under ar rest, beat him with a large stick un- til great welts appeared upon his body. Then they dragged him to an outbuiIding near the stone crushing plant below the tracks of the Santa Fe at Fourth avenue, and pushing him inside, fastened the door pre- venting his escape. Later the Mckee boys cries attracted the notice of workmen passing and he was re- leased
 The little lad was in a pitiable condition when discovered. Besides being frightened almost into hyster- ics the blows inflicted were giving him great pain. Marshal Moore and Special Policeman Alvord went down in the patrol wagon yesterday morn ing and arrested the Shindelbower boys and brought them to the city iail. The young boy wept when he was locked up but the older boy as sumed a spirit of brayado and tried to create. the impression he was not afraid There is no evidence to show just why the Shindelbower boys should have handled the little lad roughly, the Mckee boy claiming there was no proyocation whatever.

Chairman Mack, John E. McCooey. the to Dix's room. They told the chairman that the eaders still held their opinion that the leaders still held their opinion lated.
 Within five minutes the committee returned to the conference and an- nounced his decision, and soon Dix himself came out of his room.
 Yes" he said, you may shake my hand" smiling like those who were congratulating him. But I don't know whether you should congratulate me or not"
 He has shown himself to be a big man, commented Edward M. Shepard. Shepard was the first to abandon his own candidacy in favor of Dix. Dix made 1t a condition of his acceptance that all the other candidates should promise him their support. From how many he received such pledges could not be ascertained
 The third and concluding session of the convention began at 10 p. m., two and half hours after the scheduled time.
 Nominations for governor were called for at once When Albany coun- ty was called, the delegates announced that they yielded to Washington, the home county of Dix.
 Seymour Van Sant Voord took the platform and put Dix in nomination. The nomination was seconded by Thomas NJ osborn of Auburn, another candidate for the same place.
 J. NJ w. Sanbury nominated Will liam Sulzer of New York. Colonel Alexander Bacon seconded the nom- ination of Sulzer. He mentioned the independence league in this speech and this brought a storm of misses brandishing his fists. .
 Get the hook" yelled a voice from the gallery.
 By this time the hall was in an uproar, the chairman rapping vigor ously for order.
 Keep quiet" urged Bacon. 'Tll tell you a good story
 The crowd accepted his promise and suddenly hushed it's noise. only to UT cdh Oul dAISSu Nheii ll ldiiSu tO appreciate the story. Bacon returned to his seat after talking nearly half an hour to make a speech that with out interruption would have lasted but ten minutes.
 The nominations for governor be- ing completed the delegates proceeded to vote Dix received 432 votes and Sulzer moved that the nomination be made unanimous. John B. Riley of Clinton placed the name of Thomas F. Conway for lieutenant governor and there being no other candidates he was named by exclamation.

Rochester, N. Y. Sept. 30.-The state convention that will go down in political history as one of the most remarkable in the annals of the dem ocratic party closed this morning by nominating John A. Dix, chairman of the party's state committee, wealthy Washington county business man, to run for governor on a progressive platform of the widest type.
 Regarding the platform, from the first there was little or no division of opinion. But the candidate was not chosen until Charles F. Murphy, the leader of Tammany hall, by virtue of his 213 delegates. was in a posi- tion to control the convention and had canvassed the merits of no less than fourteen others.
 "I said I would give them an up state candidate, and I've done it, was Murphys comment following the nomination.
 The list of candidates prepared after a day of almost continuous con- ference went through shortly after midnight, with only two halts in its quick progress.
 This was the presentation of the name of Congressman William Sulzer as the only rival candidate for gover- nor. Srlzer received 16 out of 45O votes of the conventfUn-affSi---A4r. Dix, gto the rest. Supreme Court Justice James A. Bates of Ulster county was the only other candidate in opposition to the wishers of the leaders. For associate justice of the court of ap- peaIs hereceived p votes. but before the result of the balloting was an- nounced the nomination of Collins was made unanimous on the motion of the Ulster delegation. All the other nominations were by exclamation.
 The convention took its final ad- iournment at 1925 a. m. and the delegates made a rush for their trains

It will probably take something more than an explosion and fire to put the Times out of business very long for it is probably better equip ped to meet such an emergency than any other plant in the country; at least any western plant. Down on San Fernando street in the northeast part of the city. the Times has a large brick building devoted partly to warehouse purposes and partly to a duplicate newspaper plant, including some ten or a dozen Inotypes. a large press and an ample supply of paper. together with all the equipment for a pretty good sized newspaper. It was this plant that has been used in part, for a printers school, teach ing apprentices the art of operating the linotype.

NEGATIVE PLATFORM
As Different as Possible From Re.
 publican Declaration.

Rochester, MN. Y, Sept. 30.-The platform adopted by the democratic state convention today contains the following declarations:
 "The democratic party of New York, in convention assembled, pledges it. self anew to the old nationalism emr bodied in the constitution of the United States, to support in every way the independent, continued ex- istence of each of the three, separate. and distinct branches of the federal government; preserving all from at tack and usurpation, and each from any possibility of encroachment by the others, and we particularly con- demn all attacks upon the supreme court of the United States.
 We are unalterably opposed to any usurpation by the federal gov ernment of the rights of states.
 We denounce the republican party of the nation for its gross and wilfull betrayal of the trust reposed in it by the people and point out that the declared and expressed promise to revive the tariff downward. upon which the republicans obtained of flee, has been wilfully disregarded and ignored.
 The Payne-Aldrich tariff law, pro- nounced by President Taft the best tariff law the republican party has ever passed is fragrant breach of faith by the republican party. The bill even increased the exactions of former republican tariffs and placed great additional burdens unon the shoulders of the average man. We charge the republican party, both of the nation and the state, with gross extravagance in public ex- penditures: with creating many un- necessary offices, and adding to the

THE YIELDING OF DIX.

Rochester, Sept. 3O.-John A. Dix of Washington county was chosen candl- date for governor by the democratic state convention tonight. while 4OO delegates to the convention waited for two hours in their seats for the forma- tion of the slate.
 The chief cause of delay lay in the difficulty of filling the second place Dix had been selected and the other places on the ticket were settled with apparent satisfaction to those gath cred in the rooms of Murphy, the Tammany leader, earlier in the even ing.
 Dix tonight yielded to the solicitation of the leaders and agreed to run. The rest of the slate follows:
 Lieutenant governor. Thomas F. Conway of Clifton county.
 Secretary of state, Edward Lazan- ski of Kings county.
 Comptroller. Martin H. Glynn of Al bany.
 State treasurer, John J. Kennedy of Erie
 Attorney general. Thomas J. Carmo- dy of Yates.
 State engineer, John A. Benzel of New York.
 Associate judge court of appeals. Frederick Colin of Chemung.
 Glynn refused the nomination for comptroller and William Sohmer of New york was substituted in his place.
 Conway was said to be reluctant to accept the nomination for lieutenant governor. It is said that he felt that his county was too near that of Dix to make him logical candidate.
 When the leaders left the rooms of Murphy at 30 this morning, after a vain effort to agree upon a candidate a majority of them were for State Chairman Dix. Unanimity of opinion, however, was prevented mainly by Dix persistently refusing to run.
 T do not see how I could accept with honor" he declared. 'I am afraid it would leave sore spots all over the state"
 Every influence was brought to bear upon the unwilling choice. Several relatives, his wife, his brother law and a nephew, all of whom are here with him, were sought out and urged to try persuasion. But when the con- vention met this afternoon in the first session of the day Dix was still un- decided. He was pale and haggard, showing the strain under which he was laboring, when he called the convention to order The address of Permanent Chairman Herbert x. Bissel. the read ing of the platform, the reports of the committees and the adoption of rou- tine resolutions held the delegates un- til 9:45, when the convention took a recess until 7:30 p. m- The confer ence in Murphy's room was resumed almost immediately.
