Nashville, June 3.-Expecting
to meet her son, Joe, at the union
depot, Mrs Able of Louisville,

to see HIM today. About two
years ago the boy ran away from
the reform school in Louisville
and went to Memphis During
that time he sent no word home
nor did he hear from his mother
until Sunday.
He was arrested in Memphis iOl
larceny and sent on to serve his
sentence several months ago. Hay,
ing time TO reflect, the thoughts
of home were uppermost IN hi'
mind and he could not resist The
temptation of writing his mother
where he was. He told her in hi,
letter that he was in Nashville anC
that he was doing well. He wrote
her that he had a good position
and was making good. He faileC
to mention the name of the hote
at which he was living, or the ma
ture of the position he occupied.
The anxious mother, oyerjoyeC
at her boys reformation, imme
diately replied, saying how de
lighted she was at the change
She was glad that he had mad,
good and she was coming to Sc,
him. With no one to meet he
and being a stranger in the cit,
she will have difficulty in locating
her recreant son, and while sh

It Was Told as
a True Story

Nashville, Tenn, June S The young
lady in the little ticket office Of local
moving picture theatre was attracted
few days ago by man who kept
pacing up and down in front Of the en-
trance, evidently labOrine under some
excitement. He would reach toward
his hip pocket and gaze at the entrance
to the theatre and resume his vigil.
The Young lady became nervous at
his actions and called the manager TO
whom she related what she had OBJ.
served. The manager approached the
stranger and asked what was troubling
him
NV wife is in there with another
fellow" he said, and when he comes
out am going to fill him full of lead
That's what's the NATTER" and he re-
sumed his walk.
The MANAGER, foreseeing tragedy,
sought to prevent it if possible, and en-
tered the theatre, He went to the
stage and made an announcement to
the effect that there was a man out
front who declared he would shoot the
man who was with his wife. Now, to
prevent anything Of the kind" be con
tinued, i am going 10 turn out the

vELT's TOTAL

Baltimore, June 26.-The democrat
ic convention took second place as a
topic of conversation for a time to-
day when a report became persistent
that Senator La Toilette had held
long conference with William Jen-
nings Bryan after the latter's reversal
in the temporary chairmanship fight
in the convention yesterday. 1t was
said that the senator, who slipped in
to town from Washington without
heralding his arrival, had discussed in
detail the third party movement and
had invited Mr. Bryan to cast in his
fortunes with the new progressive
movement.
An air of mystery pervaded the Bry-
an and Nebraska headquarters today.
1t was neither denied or affirmed that
the conference had been held, but
Mr.. Bryan's secretaries and the off,
GERS Of the delegation, really didn't
know" of the supposed consultation
between the two men.
That Senator La Toilette was under
the same roof with Mr.. Bryan was
acknowledged and it was declared he
had expressed his intention Of COM
ing from Washington again today.
At the wisconsin delegat!on's head
quarters it was acknowledged that the
senator had been here and that he
would return today. 1t was explained,
however, that the supposed confer
ence with Mr.. Bryan was unlucky be-
cause Mr. La Toilette in the past had
always held that differences in the
republican party should be adjusted
within the ranks.
AS Mr.. Bryan left his headquarters
today Elisha Garretson of Madisoa,
handed him what has been called the
La Toilette platform. Mr.. Bryan stuff
fed the manuscript in his pocket and
hurried away.

Baltimore, June 26 The twenty
Roger c. Sullivan delegates from 'Ge
ten congressional districts in Cook
county, Illinois, were seated this af-
ternoon by the credentials committee
by a vote of forty to ten. A minority
report will be presented to the con-
vention.
The committee at 1880 o'clock Je-
termined to ask the convention to ad-
journ until o'clock tonight owing
to the inability Of the committee to
complete work on the CONTEST cases.
Arguments in ne Illinois cases hah
not been concluded at that time
The Illinois contest cases were the
first taken up when the credentials
committee met today behind locked
and guarded doors. Each side was
given As minutes for the presentation
of arguments.
The contestants in the case were
the Harrison-Hearst delegates, who
claimed to have secured an actual ma
jority of votes over the Sullivan dele
gates, who had been seated by the
national committee.
The claims of the Harrison-Hearst
delegates to the seats given the Sulli-
van delegates in Illinois were present
ed to the credentials committee by
Congressman Rainey Of that state.
The point made against the contest
ants was that they had not formally
presented their contests to the Illinois
state convention at Peoria, but had
kept entirely out of that convention
It was on this ground that the nation
al committee gave the seats to the
Sullivan faction.
E. B. Tolman assisted in presenting
the arguments of the Hearst-Harrison
faction in the contests involving the
eight delegates-at-large and the 20
delegates from the Chicago districts
Frank J. Quinn and Elsea Williams
appeared for the Sullivan faction, as
serting that the contesting faction by
ignoring the regular state convention
had lost any claims it might have to
regularity.
A bitter fight was made by the iii
nois contestants on the rule Of Roger
Sullivan as national committeeman.
The Hearst-Harrison men claimed to
have carried a majority of Chicago pre-
cincts and to have controlled the
Cook county convention. They charg-
ed the Sullivan men had bolted that
convention, but that when the case
of the Hearst-Harrison delegations
was presented to the credentials COM
mittee Of the Peoria convention the
Sullivan faction was in control and
refused them seats and the contesting
forces found it useless to go into the
convention next day and renew their
fight.
Those who voted against the sulli-
van faction were:
Little, Arizona Creswell, Califor
mia; Miller, Nebraska; Carney, New
ada; Kelly, North Dakota; Moses
Oregon; Young, Kentucky; McCor-
mick, Pennsylvania Whitemore,
Utah; Molnia, Porto Rico A motion
to seat the Sullivan men in the Sew
enteenth and Twentieth Illinois dis
tricts carried 3S to 1S.

Baltimore, June 26.-Because he is
not in sympathy with the forces
Seemingly in control of the Balti-
more convention" w. j. Bryan of Ne
braska today declined to accept the
chairmanship of the resolutions COM
mittee unanimously rendered him.
Senator John W. Kern was elected af-
ter Mr.. Bryan twice refused the hon
or.
When the committee met Mr.. Bry-
an was not present and his absence
was disconcerting, No one appeared
to know what the Nebraskan's atti-
tude was to be, but it was decided
unanimously that the place should be
proffered him.
Senators Raynor of Maryland,
O'Gorman of New York, and Culber-
son of Texas, therefore were sent
post haste to Bryan's rooms to urge
him to assume "a duty to his party"
They arrived too late as Mr.. Bryan
had started to the convention hall.
Mr.. Bryan refused the chairman
ship in speech in which he said he
was mot in sympathy with the forces
who appeared to be directing the
trend of political events in the party,
and he was not sure he could support
the platform to be presented by the
committee. He said that unless the
platform embraced his ideas of true
progress he would submit minority
report to the convention.
Not content to abandon their har-
mony program without further effort
the committee turned the matter over
to Senators Raynor O'Gorman and
Culberson who held an earnest discus
sion with Mr.. Bryan in corner of
the room Mr.. Bryan said his posi-
tion was unalterable.
Senator Kern was turned to as rep
resenting the progressive democ-
racy" and there was no nomination
in opposition to him. His election was
unanimous. Cautious advisers of the
Nebraska leader argued against his
accepting the chairmanship of the
resolutions committee on the ground
that the attempt to have him draft
the platform is a poorly concealed
plot to commit him in advance to the
subsequent act of the convention and
to any nominee will accept what
would be known as the Bryan plat
form"
Mr.. Bryan himself, ii VAS said, was
loath.to have anything to do with the
platform until he is sure who the
nominee will be. For that reason, it
was declared, he would advocate the
upsetting of precedent and the NAM
ing Of candidate before the platform
is written and adopted.
AS soon as the committee organ
lied Mr.. Bryan moved the presentation
of the platform be deferred until af-
ter the convention had nominated a
candidate for president. Senator
Rayner seconded the PROPOSITION.
/ He spoke at some length urging pro.
gressive platform and particularly in
reference to the tariff and direct
election of senators on which planks
