for the moment today when a re-
port became persistent hal Senator
La Toilette had held a lengthy con-
ference with Mr.. Bryan after the
Bryan reversal in the temporary
Craftsmanship fight in the convention
yesterday. 1t is said that the sena-
tor, who slipped into town from
Washington without heralding his ar
rival, discussed the third party move
ment in detail, and had invited Mr..
Bryan to last in his fortunes with
the new progressive movement.
An air of mystery ~pervaded the
Bryan and Nebraska headquarters
today. 1t was neither denied nor
affirmed that the conference had been
held, but Mr.. Bryan's secretaries and
the officers of the delegation really
didn't know" of the supposed con-
sultation between the two men. That
Senator La Toilette was under the
same roof with Mr.. Bryan was &C.
knowledged, and itswas declared he
had expressed his intention of coming
from Washington again today. 1t was
denied, however, hat he had made
any arrangement to see Mr.. Bryan
although the Bryan adherents would
not go so far as to deny that such IL
conference might take place.
At the Wisconsin delegations head
quarters 1t was acknowledged that
the senator had been here and that
he would return todayff 1t was ex-
planned, however, that the supposed
conference with Mr.. Brayn was un-
likely. because Mr.. LaFollette In the
past always had held that differences
in the Republican partp should be
adjusted within the ranks.
Mr.. Bryan was engaged in commit
tee arrangements and refused to be
seen.

Mr.. White says today that unless
everybody here is wrong, the victory
of Parker has ended the Bryan as
tendency.
Whites analysis of the situation
further is that every man who "polled
his luck with Bryan, meaning Will
son, has fallen with Bryan. White
also believes it doubtful If Wilson can
hold together one-third of the con-
vention to prevent any other nominal
ton for any considerable length of

FALL
A P|T|FuL ONE
CONTINUED from First Page,

They kept on yelling Bryan, Bryan"
and whenever they did the Commoner
would beat down the fan again,
scowl, and throw out his arms in an
appeal for a hearing.
The delegates had read in the news
papers as they went to the conven-
ton hall that Kern was the Bryan
nominee and there was no surprise
when the Commoner named his run
ming mate in 1908. The Bryan men,
however, started the usual demon
stration. 1t did not last long, and
when 1T ended Bryan went on to talk
of himself and his previous cam
paigns.
1t sounded like a nominating
speech. He told of his own record
of service to the people, and finally,
pointing theatrically to one of the
notices that lined the wall, cried out
that the motto applied to himself.
1t was the question from jackson.
HE never sold the truth to serve
the hour"
Not S~tampedable.
By all rights this should have
swept the convention. if the conven-
ton were stampedable. There was
a lot of noise, but 1t was confined to
a few delegations and a part of the
audience, and Bryan knew that his
effort to repeat the performance of
1896 had failed. 1t must have been a
forlorn hope. When he began his
speech he made the significant state
ment that he must perform his duty
at whatever risk sof humiliation to
himself, which was clear enough h a
he expected the humiliation.
His last hope was the chance of
electrifying the crowd by the Jeffer-
son quotation, and when the crowd
did not electrify Bryan knew that
he was gone. So did his followers.
From hat time on the cheering for
the good points he made petered out
until at last he could get no more
than a sporadic cheer and a little
hand-clapping for anything he said.

HER CRUEL;
! SEEKS DIVORCE

Sensational accusations of cruelty
and ill-temper were made In rapid
succession by Policeman William Pro-
vost, of 246 Clifton avenue, against
his wife, Catherine M. Provost. of
20 Highland avenue. in Chancery
Court today, who in his suit for di-
vorce accused her of striking him
with a broomstick and blackening his
eyes with her clenched fist.
con one OCCASION said Provost,
"she broke a plate over my head, and
I said, What are you trying to do?
Are you getting crazy?'"
The policeman asserted that trouble
began soon after they were married.
Sometimes she was as nice as she
could be, and other times she was as
hateful as satan"
The gun and nightstick belonging
to the husband were placed in evil
dence as samples of the weapons Mrs.
Provost used when threatening her
husband.

Another sensation at the divorce
hearing was the testimony of Miss
Anna Chadwick, who lives in the
same house with Mrs. Provost. Miss
Chadwick testified that Mrs. Provost
abused her 2-year-old son.
Mrs. Provost whispered to her coun-
sci, Douglas Todd. He thereupon
asked the witness some questions
that reused her ire, and as Miss
Chadwick left the stand she shouted
at Mrs. Provost:
"rll fix you for that. Remember"
Provost, on cross-examination, was
asked If he had ever talked of turn
ing on the gas or taking carbolic
acid and of giving 1t to the child"
II never did," asserted the witness.

was asked.
Yes, my wife has repeatedly driven
me there" replied the witness.
