BRYAN TALKS
 BACK AGAIN
Reply to Statement by Speaker Clark, Charges Him With Winking at the
 Support of Representa-
 tives Predatory Wealth"
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

BALTIMORE, June 30.-W. J. Brv- an tonight replied to the statement of Speaker Clark demanding that the Ne braskan prove or retract the general charge made in the convention that the Clark forces are allied with the so- called privileged classes.
 Bryan said the only criticisms l made against Clark was that he acted not wrongfully but that he failed to act at all. l may overestimate the presidential office but I have felt that an aspirant for that office should man. age his own campaign and not allow people to do things for him without his direct and specific instructions"
 In the contest between Parker and myself it was one between progressive democracy and reactiOnary democracy. Everybody but Clark seemed to know this. I contend that in such a contest it was Clark'S place to take one side or the other if in his judgment there is any material difference between the two kinds of democrats. If he insists that there is no difference, he has no night to complain of criticisms at the hands Of those who believe there is a vital difference"
 But the activity of Clark's managers was as objectionable as his own in activity. If he did not authorize them to act for him, he has so far failed to rebuke them for acting as they did. take it in the absence of such rebuke he did rot object or protest as l did
 T take it in the absence of such a rebuke, he would not object to or pro- test against accepting the support of the ninety wa figures which Murphy under the unit rule uses to carry out the wishes of the predatory interests
 The public is not interested in Clark's opinion of me. He will have ample time after the convention to tell what this is, either if he is nominated or not. tut if I am any judge of the news value of items, I think the people would like to know immediately wheth- CT he believes the New York delegation stands in the same position as the and whether he made any objection to receiving their support"

Town of Regina, Saskatche- wan, Ravaged Yesterday by Twister Which Wiped Out Business Blocks and Residences
RUINS OF THE TOWN
 LEFT IN DARKNESS
The Entire Force of Fifteen Girls in Telephone Ex- change Added to Death List Which May Reach One Hundred
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

WINNIPEG, June 3O-Between fif- ty and a hundred persons were killed and ten million dollars worth of damage was done by a tornado which struch Regina, Saskatchewan, this afternoon. Several business blocks and apartment houses and residences were wrecked
 The cyclone struck Regina at 1: 50 D. m, coming from the south. The Saskatchewan government building was among those destroyed and gangs of men are now at work taking out the dead.
 The city power plant was destroyed, and there is no light. A fire broke out but volunteers with buckets man aged to control the flames after con- siderable damage was done Late reports placed the property loss at 10,000,00O, and the staff of fifteen girls employed on the telephone eX- change was killed. But one wire re mains out of town. A special train left Winnipeg today with doctors, nurses and provisions.
 The storm moved path six blocks wide through the most fashionable res idential section of the city. Parliament buildings of steel and concrete were greatly damaged More than three hundred residences were transformed into a mass of wreckage. Automobiles filled with people were hurled high into the air and deposited blocks away. Eleventh and Victoria streets, where there were many wholesale houses, banks and business houses is a mass of wreckage.
 It was in the retail section. however. where the greatest damage was done. Nearly every store was dstroyed. Four large grain elevators were torn down. The storm continued through Sas- katchewdn doing great damage.
 At ten o'clock tonight it was believed two hundred lives were lost.

CONFLICT OF OATES
 WAS UNFORESEEN
Johnson Flynn Fight and Democratic
 Convention.

Probably when Mir. Jack Curley ar ranged fer q prize fight-no, a boxing the Hon. Jack Johnson and the Hon. Jim Flynn he did not take ito account the fact that this is presidential year: and that one of the big poli1iCal conventions would be in progress nigh and contiguous to the date set for the fight.
 If he bad thought of this fact he might have set a different date for the mill. For if the state of the public mind in Phoenix is to be taken as criterion, the country geerally is paying
 little attention to the Las Vegas mill for the very good reason that a much more interesting scrap is now in prog ress at Baltimore.
 But here and there one finds local fight fan who can find time to say a word or two about the Las Vegas af- fair and the chances of the respective contestants
 There is a strong preponderance of opinion here that Johnson will win; and probably the fact that the fight is expected to be a one sided affair. is responsible in large measure for the general dDdLlN put, as dlIGdUN StIu. there is another reason and that is that politics is overshadowing the fight game.
 No heavyweight championship fight in many years has attracted so little comment and interest in Phoenix as has the Johnson Flynn affair, The lightweight championship battle be- tween Woigast and Rivers at Vernon gets in the spotlight three times to once for the Las Vegas scrap. And the Phoenix fraternity, it is easy to observe, does not agree with the general run of the experts on the outcome of this fight Most of the sporting writers have picked Woigast as their favorite: but Phoenix pretty generally is loyal to Rivers and the fans here are pretty well saturated | with the belief that sooner or later the 1 plucky little Mexican will land the winning punch.

Unless Relief Resolution Is Passed the Machinery of the Government Includ- ing Postal Business May Stop at Midnight Tonight
DEMOCRAT POW WOW
 PARTLY RESPONSIBLE
The Racket at Baltimore Has Attracted So Many Congressmen That It Is Doubtful Whether a Quo rum Gan Be Secured
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

WASHINGTON, June 30.-The dead lock in the Baltimore convention threatens to continue the emharrass- ment of the government executive de- partments due to the failure of con gress to pass the appropriation bills for the fiscal year which begins to- morrow.
 When the house and senate meet at noon tomorrow it is not likely that a unanimous consent is given for the passage of the resolution containing last years appropriations, the gov ernment will have to struggle along without funds until the democrats nominate a presidential candidate and get back to Washington ready for business.
 The heads of the executive depart ments have decided to continue busi- ness tomorrow on the promise of the leaders in congress that the resolu- tiOn will be passed If it is not passed, it is hard to predict what will happen Certainly some of the ma chinery of the government will stop at midnight of Monday and all of it might stop The mails might be held up. With the convention out of the way congress will begin d steady grind to transact the business wait ing for action.

DARK HORSE
 SHAW THINKS
But the Identity of the Ami nal Is Not Disclosed in a Photographic Communica tion to the Smoke House Yesterday

Contrary to the general belief that
 by means of Sunday conferences be-
 tween the leaders at the Baltimore
 convention conclusion would be
 reached which would have the effect
 of breaking the deadlock, Ed Shaw
 says the situation is muddled worse
 than ever And as he is on the ground Shaw should know what he is talking about.
 Yesterday Ed sent a telegram to Phoenix which outlined the situation as he saw it. He says repeated con ferences held Sunday failed to pro- duce any results in the way of com promise or agreement and that the convention will go to work this fore noon no nearer decision than when it quit Saturday night.
 But Shaw has another idea. All though he has not yet decided who will be the nominee will be, he has made up his mind who will not be. In other words he has made up his mind that neither Wilson nor Clark can win: nor does he think that any
 of the others whose names have been prominently before the convention will pull down the big prize. In other words he believes a dark horse
 will be selected
 Tn that event the field is by no means a small one. It includes
 Kern Toss, Shively, Gaynor, Bald win and half a dozen others who might be mentioned and who are be- lieved to be nursing secret aspira
 tions that the presidential lightning trilx nf there is the perennial Bryan, who is candidate. first, last and all the
 time.
 Some close observers of current political events recall an article on the democratic situation written month or two ago by sam G. Blythe. Washington correspondent and all around political prOgnosticator- In that story. which appeared in a pop uIar magazine, Blythe pointed out
 that in the event of any of the favorites failing to land the nom- inatiOn the most promising candi- date would be Senator John w. Kern. of Indiana. This article was written just after Blythe had made the trip across the continent and after he had, as he said. talked with | hundreds of leading politicians. Within the past day or two there seems considerable evidence that Blythe had d pretty good foundation for his story, though conversations with Phoenix politicians reveal the 1 fact that not many of them hold to i the belief that Kern may be nom- 1 mated It is pointed out that not withstardipg the fact that he was | o1ice. candidate for the vice presidencey and is now United l States senator he has remained Tn l comparative obscurity. Also, there
 are plenty of democrats here who | believe he does not in any sense masure up to the requirements of the
 job But the press correspondents and some of the special writers in attendance at the convention have
 been using Kerns name rather freely the past couple of days; and among
 many of these writers there seems
 a rather clearly defined belief that he may yet have to be reckoned with

ANTI BRYAN COMBINE.

Another report was that the Wilson men had made a combination with the Clark forces by which Wilson should Iisavow Bryan and in turn receive the nomination Still another was that the Bryan forces had entered into solemn, unbreakable pact, not to per nit the nomination of Wilson under any circumstances. No foundation was to be found for these rumOrs. One fact stands and that on the last bal lot. Wilson seemed to have a decided advantaee over the other candidates, having mounted steadily to 4O712 from s24 on the first ballot.
 His campaign managers are doing their utmost to steer clear of the con- -roversy between Clark and Bryan. They said wilson ought not to be made a marty to such a quarrel. Some of them believe they made D mistake in allow

MAY BE UNDERWOOD.

Should Clark and Wilson fail in the next two or three ballots, it is pre- dictcd that there will be a turn to Un- dcrwood who has held his normal vote from the start as well as outside dele gates who voted for him on the 26 bal Iots there does not appear to be much enthusiasm over his prospect. f Genuine attempts to compromise will likely be made if Wilson and Un- derwOod should follow Clark upon the high wave votes and still fail to get the necessary two-thirds but it is not expected tonight that any dark horses will stand much show until the three leaders have failed.
 Many rumors are current in hotel lobbies. one is that the twO-thirds majority rule will be abandoned after the thirtieth ballot, and another that after ten more ballots are taken new delegates will be elected for another convention to meet in August. None of these rumors, however, are based on anything more tangible than idle gos- sip.

CLARK LAMeAsTs BRYAN.

Later tonight Clark issued a state ment through Senator Stone, directed to Bryan, stating that he intended to remain a candidate with no trade or dicker possible with any other caTdi- date until the end came.
 He declared that the statement of Bryan that he would be influenced by Wall street, if nominated and elected, was both false ard infamous He declared that Bryan voted for him when he was q candidate in the Nebraska primaries as d progressive and if he was q progressive then, why not now. He said he had been in congress seventeen years and this was the first time his personal hon. esty was ever questioned, and he re scented it inasmuch as Bryan would make no direct charge or give d basis for his implications.

THINGS THAT MAY HAPPEN.

The situation as seen by the leaders not associated intimately with the management of any of the campaigns seemed tonight about as follows: Clark having failed of the nomination in sew enteen ballots, after receiving a ma iority vote. probably had reached the crest of bis strength. Wilson although climbing steadily apparently, was bit terly opposed by delegates who resent cd the general impression that Bryan had a veto power though he lacked the votes necessary to control the nOmin ation. These delegates believed that the New Jersey governor might con- tinue to gain even to a point lhere he had a majority but that he [ Juld not break down the Clark strength which is said to be determined that Bryan shall not win through combination of any kind

BRYAN'S LIST
From Which He Thinks a Nomina-

BALTIMORE. June 30.-"I see no reason why the party can not get to- gether now and name a progressive ticket" said Bryan tonight. The friends of the various candidates have fought out their differences, and in doing this they have consumed much more time than ought to have been consumed"
 He said he took it for granted that there was no chance for Harmon and Underwood. who are reactionary can didates, and if it was not possible to name Wilson or Clark he thought they might get a good man out of a list he named including Kern, James. OGorman. Culberson and Sen ator Rayner of Maryland
 New York is not necessary to the nomination and it should not be per mitted to dictate the nomination" he said.
