PROGRESSIVE
WING OF PARTY
MAY DICTATE.

Senator Culberson of Texas was Offered
vention, but he declined, owing to i'll
health.
The credentials committee at IL; ;3t
determined to ask the convention to adj
journ until o'clock tonight, owing
to the inability to complete the work on
contested cases. At the meeting of the
resolutions committee, Bryan moved that
the presentation of the platform be de-
| ferred until after the convention had
nominated candidate for president.
| Senator Raynor seconded the motion
and urged progressive platform. Bry-
ans motion was carried, Al to o. The
committee will recommend action along
that line to the convention, and it then
adjourned until the convention should
determine the matter.
The committee on permanent organiza-
tion decided unanimously to recommend
Senator-elect Ollie NJ. James of Ken
tucky as permanent chairman. Several
members made speeches urging harmony
in the convention. A movement to test
the sentiment for Kern for the presi-
dental nomination has been started by
some of the progressives, who feel it may
be impossible to unite two thirds of the
delegates for either Clark or Wilson.
These men are working quietly, but say
the movement has gained considerable
momentum. Friends of Governor Foss
of Massachusetts to-day distributed
thousands of copies of pamphlets, giving
his record, and circular headed, "Foss,
the Only Democrat Who Can Win"
At Has the convention hall was fill
ing rapidly. Bryan, in refusing the
chairmanship Of the resolutions commit
tee, said he was not in sympathy with
the forces who appeared to be directing
the trend OF political events in the party,
and was not sure he could support the
platform to be presented by the com.
mittee. He declared unless the platform
embraced his ideas Of true progress, he
would submit a minority report to the
convention.
The galleries were comfortably filled
when the convention was called to order
at 1921. Bishop John q. Murray OF
Maryland pronounced the invocation, in
which he said I'VE seem to stand face
to face with the most momentous crisis
in the history of our great government"
Governor Blanchard Of Louisiana re-
ported for the credentials committee
that their report would not be ready |
until s o'clock. The convention voted |
that when adjournment was taken after
hearing several speakers it should be
until s o'clock x-Goy. Folk of Mis- I
souri, then made speech and stirred |
the crowd with rousing words.
Senator Raynor Of Maryland and Rep |
resentative Clayton Of Alabama made
speeches after Folk Prolonged dem
for various presidential can.
lidates followed. the delegates cheering
ind waving hats and fans. Delegate
Riley OF Massachusetts and Senator
Gore of Oklahoma then spoke.

HEADLESS BODY FOUND.
Weighted, 1t Was Sunk in Blackstone
River Near Woonsocket.

Woonsocket, r. l., June 28.-The find
ing of the headless body of woman
with the arms bound behind her and
weighted down with fifty pound stone
in the Blackstone river yesterday, re-
vealed the most mysterious affair which
the local police have been called upon
to solve, The body, rudely decapitated
and tightly bound with rope, was dis
covered near Jones grove by man
named Jacobs, who lived in the vicinity.
Jacobs saw the upper part of the body
floating above the water and immediate
ly notified the police, who went out in
boat and took the body ashore.
1t was that of woman apparently be-
twBee 35 and 40 years old, weighing
about $50 pounds. From the clothing
it was judged that she had been in
good circumstances. Assistant Medical
Examiner Edward l.. Myers declared the
body had apparently been in the water
for two months, and that the person
who decapitated the woman had no
knowledge of surgery.
The police are at loss to explain the
mystery. They have no knowledge of
any woman being missing from this city
and believe the woman belonged in some
place outside of this district.
