New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1912-07-03

Baltimore, June 29.-After two days
of wearisome balloting, during which
the roll of states was called twenty
six times, the Democratic national con-
ventiOn was still without a standard
bearer.
The convention was seemingly in a
state of hopeless deadlock. No one
candidate was enjoying a commanding
lead The more than majority which
came to Speaker Champ Clark follow
ing the shift of the New York ninety
to his camp, had been wiped out and,
on the last ballot taken, Clark, while
still in the lead, had only 463h against
4071s for Governor Wilson of New
Jersey, his nearest rival
For ten hours the delegates had bat
tied in a blazing heat which seeemd
we'll nigh unbearable. An attempt to
force a dinner adjournment failed.
The Clark men wanted it to rally their
weakening ranks. The Wilson men
fought and prevented it because they
believed if they could hold the con-
vention together a few hours the re-
suit they so anxiously awaited would
come. Their expectations were fruit
less. The Clark ranks were giving
steadily before the onslaught of the
opposition, but were still holding on
desperately. The Wilson gain was in
ones and twos and threes. At last all
of the leaders agreed that there was
no hope OF immediate settlement. A
recess over Sunday was the logical
conclusion and the representatives OF
every candidate who was being voted
ON agreed to it.
The twenty-sixth ballot showed the
strength of the candidates as follows:
Clark 46311, Wilson 4071a, Underwood
112h, Harmon 20, Marshall 30, Foss
43, not voting ~. ..
Clark Victory on Tenth.
Clark had entered the contest with
q total vote of 4401a, as against 1924
for Wilson. There was little change
in the totals for the speaker until his
made their desperate effort
to put him across on the tenth ballot,
when they swung New York into line
for him. His high water mark was
$50, and it was then that his sponsors
insisted that it was all over but the
shouting They had told Murphy of
Tammany Hall that there would be
an immediate break in the Harmon
and the Underwood strength that would
persuade the doubling Thomases,'
but their guess was wrong.
With the eleventh ballot the Clark
men began to wane. Wilson, how
ever, gained consistently but slowly.
His only big gain was late today when
the Kansas delegation abandoned
Clark for him. Otherwise his increases
came from several delegates who were
impressed either by his managers or
with the belief that he really was the
man of the hour.
But despite the optimistic declara
ton of the Wilson men and the
healthy progress that his boom had
made through the various roll calls
there was a general belief among the
more experienced politicians that the
New Jersey executive would never re-
ceive the two-thirds vote needed to
nominate him. The open espousal Of

REPORT ON COAL DEPOSIT

The editor of the Tonopah
Bonanza has made a personal visit
to the coal mines at Coaldalc and
reports that a body of commercial
coal has been developed. He
states that within a short time
the csal will be on the market and
that there will be no discount on
the material. The opening of a
body of this commercial product
should prove better than a gold
mine in the southern camps and
will also he the only operating
coal mine in Nevada. 1t is hoped
that all that it claimed for the
product il true. Experiments
made on the lower strata show
that it contains very little ash and
is of n quality equal to any Of the
bituminous Goals now imported
into the state.

9 o'clock Wednesday morning.
When court convened this morn
ing, the State introduced a map
of the room in which the roulette
game was runring.
Deputy Sheriff McMull en- was
then called. He explained the
position of the roulette wheel. the
faro table and other articles in
the room and pointed out on the
map the positions taken by the
different officers. His evidence,
in the main, corroborated Sheriff
Harris. He saw some things the
sheriff saw and didn't SEE others
the sheriff saw. He fixed the
time OF the raid at about ten
o'clock at night and Sheriff Harris
fixed it at about IL O'Clock. His
evidence was not shaken on cross
examination.
District Attorney DyEart was
the next witness. He told about
the officers meeting at his Office
before the raid and going to the
gambling room. He Described
what happened in tie room as he
saw it. He was busy taking the
names of people in the room and
did not see all Harris and Nc
Mullen saw. He corrooorated
them on several points.
The noon recess was taken be-
fore Mr.. Dysart's evidence con-
cluded.
At the afternoon session, the
direct examination of Mr.. Dysart
was concluded and he was under
cross examination. the defense
was trying very hard to tangle him
up when this report closed. The
trial seems very close to he end.

In all probability the LATEST

by seafaring men who had oc.

the sailors as Kasakas.

a placer OF fabulous riches. we are
informed by a mining nan now
visiting in Douglas that the story
was no fake, but that il was only
partly told, for some old prospec-
tors who had followed the young
man into the Yaquis country,
knowing him to have a straight tip
in the rich diggings, saw the shots
fired which resulted in the gold
bullet hitting the ~valise, and after

found not only a tobacco sack of
the gold bullets, but secured a

BIRDS AS I"NCENOIARIES

How a flock of starlings set fire
to a small town in Wurttemberg
is told in the German Electro
technical Review. The town is
lighted by electricity, and one
evening there was a series of eX-
plosions. Most of the fuses blew
out, snd the people ran out Of
their homes, some Of which were
burned to the ground. 1t was
some time before the true cause
was ascertained.
1t happened thus: a hawk had
been chasing a flock Of staIliugs
which had sought refuge in a
corner of the power house and had
crowded together in terror between
the overhead high tension wires
and a lightning condu ctOr. Thus
a short circuit was established
which would not have had serious
consequences had not the gronud
been in an extremely dry and
parched condition.
The abs ence of moisture in the
soil put the earth connection out
Of action, and the currOnt had
therefore to seek another outlet,
with the result stated. 1t was
not until a lite heap of carbonized
starlings and an elcctrocuted hawk
were found on the spot that

is NEARING EUREKA

EurehanS received some cheering
news this week when P. B.
Wallace. the engineer in charge of
construction work on the Eureka
& Palisade Railroad. paid US a
visit last Wednesday night.
While here Mr.. Wallace entered
into a contract with William
of the Peoples Market to
supply the construction camp that
is expected to be established at the
slough 10 miles north of Eureka,
within the next few days.
To inquiries regarding when it
was expected a train would reach
Eureka. he stated within the next
three oil four weeks probably, and
certainly by April l unless very
stormy weather or unforeseen
difficulties interviewed.
1t is now expected the granding
force will be at work north of the
slough in Diamond Valley next
week, but as it is understood a
number of bridges and open
trestle work will be put in for
quite a distance on each side of
the 81 ough. it will take several
weeks TO complete the work at this
point.
When the Eureka & Pulisade
Railroad was built a number of
bridges and large culverts were
put in along this stretch Of road in
Diamond Valley to carry off the
flood waters that come through
DEVILS Gate during the Spring
freshets, but as the volume of
water that came through the Gate
during recent years was apparently
not sufficient TO cause washouts on
the road with less open work, as
the timbers rotted out and needed
replacing, fills were put in until
but few places were left for the
water to get through TIC long
embankment across Diamond
Valley. When the big flooC came
two years ago the few remaining
outlets could not begin to take care
of the water that came bounding
down the valley, and it gradually
piled up against the long grade
embankment until il was forced to
give way, and long stretches of it
went out for several miles across
the valley. AS the present road is
being especially built to guard
against flood waters a number of
bridges and trestle work will be
put in all through Diamond
Valley.
1t is learned that since the
railroad was completed to Black
burn early this week, unusually
good progress has been made.
The road is now reported com
pleted to Alpha Station 45 miles
from Palisade and 80 miles from
Eureka. 1t is said the construc-
tion engine delivered a couple of
loads of material at Cedar Switch,
eight miles this side of Alpha, on
Wednesday and it is now expected
that the road will be completed to
the Slough, about 10 miles from
Eureka, by March l5.-Ssntinel.
