 Mfr Albon F. Man. the American scientist who invented ineandescent lighting by the use of a carbon flament in a vacuum, when he was about sev- enty years of age looked more like a banker than scientist and in the sub- dued light of a lecture room appeared at distance like a young man.
 Some years ago he attended a lee ture in Brooklyn upon the higher prob Iems of electrical science, delivered by a professor with many titles and de- grees. At the close the speaker called for comments and criticisms from the auditors.

Stsry Of Insugent Methods In
tuesdays Paper Corroborated
Packard Was First Man En-
gagged in Investigating Hanna
He Advised Against Publication
Of What He Found
Muckraker Buck Took Up the
Wsrk and Got Publicity
Story Substantially as The
Forum Published it

Tuesday uight The Forum publish
ed report to the effect that the
insurgents had made an attempt to
investigate the record Of L. B. Han
ma and the first man engaged in the
work had advised against that form
of undertaking.
The Courier News came out We'd
nesday branding the story as false.
1t quoted Chairman Tucker In an
evasive interview.
The Forum was misinformed as to
the identity of the first investigator.
The man was F. q. Packard, not a
Wisconsin man.
But the fact that Hanna's record
was found to compare favorably-and
then some-with the other members
led Packard to advise against a pub
lication.
The insurgents were not satisfied
with Packard's view and secured an
other man.
The Forums story of Tuesday is
amply corroborated by the following
letter from Frank e. Packard.

BOOM FOR BURKE
FOR PRESIDENCY NOT
TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

. i H 4
Geo. #. Authier in special
from Baltimore to The Minnea-
polls Tribune says: Coy. John
Burke's name may go before the
national convention as a candidate
for the vice presidential nomina-
ton. Governor Burkes candidacy
for the presidency has never been
talked seriously.
1t has been a compliment from
the democrats Of his own state
and a move to secure additional
possible recognition for him at the
democratic convention. Governor
Burke acknowledged today that If
Clark or some other western man
received the nomination for the
presidency he would not allow the
use. of his name as a candidate
for the vice presidency. But If an
eastern man was named he would.

Hanna has slight lead for the gov
ernorship over Buchanan on the face
of the incomplete returns. 1t looks
like it will take complete returns to
determine the actual results. Bu-
chanan is running second, Johnson a
poor third and the vote for Midtbo
is a negligible quantity.
Johnson will probably secure suf-
ficient number of votes to prevent
either Hanna or Buchanan from Sc
curing a majority. If this is the re-
suit the second choice votes must be
counted. g..
The friends of Mr.. Hanna are very
optimistic over the results. The same
is true OF Buchanan. In all fairness
the race is as close a contest as could
we'll be figured out and it may require
the official count to determine the re-
suits
Second Choice Votes.
The second choice votes are a conun-
drum. 1t is the first time they were
ever tried in the state and no one
knows just how it will work.
There were comparatively few sec
ond choice votes cast, but it seems
that those who voted for Buchanan
for first place voted for johnson for
second, while those who voted for
Hanna for first place gave Buchanan
their second choice.
II this is true Buchanan will have
more second choice votes than Hanna
and II neither secures a majority of
the first choice, the seconds must be
counted-and Buchanan will have a
slight advantage in this respect. 1t
looks like the second choice votes are
going to be as valuable as the first
The vote for governor is so close
that 1T doesn't look Ike either Hanna
Or Buchanan win have a majority Of
the first choice votes. In that case the
second choice Will have to be invoked.
The same situation Is true OF the

Third districts and for the members

and Hall for secretary of state. 1t is
toss up between these men,. The
friends of both are very confident Of
the results. KraabeI was nomina ted
Tor lieutenant governor.
The returns on railroad commission
ers are meagre. Purcell Of Fargo is
running well in seve' al Of the cities
and most Of the villages, and his
friends feel that he may land one of
the three positions. The three old
members are running strong and the
friends of Mann and Anderson are
very confident they will win.
In the race for the supreme court
position Justice Bruce has won out
over j. p. Robinson of Fargo.
The democrats have apparently
nominated Jones over Hellstrom.
Returns from the different counties
Of the state are very incomplete. The
entire vote is given in few. In some
only about half the precincts were re-
ported. The others vary from half
to complete and the figures given In
the estimates are by editors and coun-
ty officials. They are approximately
correct. The estimated majorities by
counties are as follows:

Chihuahua, June 27.--A crisis in the
Mexican revolution is at hand today.
Five thousand rebels, well entrenched
and fortified at Bachimba, forty six
miles south of here. are expected to
be engaged by federal column of
equal strength, commanded by Huerta.
At stake is the city Of Chihuahua, for
months under rebel control and a vi
tai point in northern Mexico. There
is tremendous tension here among the
foreigners, many of whom have raised
their nations flag over their residences
and business houses. 1t is generally
realized that rebel defeat or retreat
would mean a disorganized and un-
controlled fight to the city of Chi
huahua with looting and rioting.

Baltimore, June 27.-The Bryan
Wilson forces in the democratic
national convention today won
their fight for the adoption Of the
minority report of the credentials
committee, favorable TO the New
Jersey governor in the South Da-
kota contest. The minority re-
port urged the seating Of ten
Wilson delegates.
a tumult interrupted the con-
vention during the debate on the
report and demonstrations for the
rival candidates and the uproar
lasted almost half an hour before
the vote was taken. The official
vote is as follows: To adopt the
minority report seating the Wilson
delegates, years, $685.; nays, 437;

rs there anything you can do for
us" inquired a newspaper man.
There will be something produced
hourly and daily" replied Bryan sig
nificantly. "Now, can't say anything
more. have been so very busy fight
ing the bosses l have not bad time to
shave"
Delegates Arrive Slowly.
The delegates were slow in arriv-
ing after the midnight session. The
galleries were gradually filled, with
the prospects Of large crowds as the
struggle over the nomination drew
near. Mrs. Taft, wife Of the president
of the United States, accompanied by
party of women, took a front seat
in one of the boxes Immediately
f1anking the platform.
The floor Of the convention pre-
sented a scene Of great animation, as
the delegates were fileing to their
seats, the aisles, cholked, the galleries
fast augmenting, the band sending
forth the opening strain.
Unseated Wilson Delegates.
Chairman Parker mounted the plat
form at 1910 and the crowd began to
await the call to order.
The first order of business was the
consideration of the report of the cre-
dentials committee. The majority has
unseated ten Wilson delegates from
South Dakota and given Clark men
/ the places. This is expected to pre-
cipitate a lively fight

Toulon, France, June 27.-Five of
twenty three seamen injured yester-
day in the premature explosions of six
inch guns aboard the French armor-

are dying in the naval hospital here.
An official inquiry shows that there
were two explosions, thirteen being
burned by the first and the rest by
the second.
The accidents are generally attribut-
ed to the defective system of gun
cleaning in the French navy.

Expeet q Nominate Today.


Before the adjournment of the third
days session Of the democratic national
convention the name of the party's
standard bearer in the presidential
contest will probably be known. The
nominating speeches were in order at
today's session and as a reasonable
limit has been put on the oratorical
flow, the balloting should begin dur
ing the evening.
Wilson Men Confident.
The friends of woodrow Wilson ap-
preached the crucial test with great
er confidence than yet witnessed, re-
garding the overthrow of the unit rule
by the convention last night through
a coalition Of Bryan and Wilson
forces as significant of the final OUT
come. The Clark followers appar-
emily think Bryan turned against the
speaker for they show some feeling
because the Nebraskan's strength was
lined up with the Wilson crowd on the
vote last night. Up to the time OF
opening the convention, Bryan treat
ed both Wilson and Clark equally.
Bryan Building Platform.
The change in the order of business
of the convention in placing the nomi-
nation OF the candidate before the
adoption of a platform made the work
of the resolutions committee, compar-
atively easy as it has another day
before reporting. Bryan is helping
build substantial platform, but is
not disclosing the kind Of wood be-
ing used.
"cIipped Ryan's Cat"
Bryan leaving to attend the conven-
tion today declared that the "conven-
ton yesterday clipped the tail of
THOMAS r. Ryall's cat" The NebraS-
kan previously had depicted Ryan, the
New York financier, as cracking a
cat-o-nine- tails over the convention.
Bryan seemed greatly pleased with
the course Of the convention yester-
day, especially with regard to the
unit rule, but would not make a state
ment with respect to who the party
Btandardbearer may be.
Bryan's presence at the resolutions
committee meeting today was delayed
lby a crush of visitors to his hotel
CoIlarless and coatless the Nebraskan
was surrounded in his rooms and giv-
en- an enthusiastic reception.
