EsOpus Judge for Temporary
Chairman at Baltimore.
IN PICKLE OVER W. J. BRYAN
Democrats Show Anxiety Over re-
braska Mans Attitude on Various
Matters-He Would Like to
Draft Platform.

Baltimore, Md. June 19-Judge Al.
ton B. Parker of New York state will
be selected temporary chairman of the
Democratic national convention unless
William j. Bryan gives evidence of
becoming cantankerous over the con
ferring Of this honor upon the Esopus
man. Most of the members Of the ma.
tional committee and subcommittee on
arrangements, which will meet here
on Thursday to agree upon TEN
porary presiding officer, favor Judge
Parker, and he also seems to be &C
ceptable to all candidates.
The anxiety that is being shown
over Bryan's attitude even on the
temporary chairman indicates pretty
clearly that he is to be far from a
negative quantity in the 1912 conven.
ton.
1t Is acknowledged generally that
with Champ Clark and Woodrow Will
son tussling for Bryan's support, the
Lincoln man could himself have the
temporary craftsmanship if he want
ed It. Word has come to Baltimore
nOWeNeIJ lHdI lydH no lOHBeI nds
his eyes on the temporary chairman
ship, but that he is looking forward
with pleasureable anticipation to
heading the committee on resolutions
which will draw up the Democratic
platform
If this is really Bryan's ambition
there will be a show down In this con,
vention between the Bryan and the
anti-Bryan forces. Most of the Dem
ocratic leaders who have arrived in
Baltimore are firmly of the opinion
that the Democratic platform this
year should contain a pl2nk explicitly
condemnng the recall Of irdges and
judicial decisions. Any such attempt
will lead to a revival of the Bryan
and anti-Bryan row in the Democratic
ranks. Most of the Democrats who
have gathered here are fully expect
ing trouble with the Nebraskan be-
fore the convention is over and have
already begun to pray that the good
Lord will be kind and deliver them
from the possibility Of Bryan slipping
out from deadlock, the party's nom
inee for the fourth time.

RESTAURANT MAN BROWNS
Body of William MangIer Found In
Lake Off Chicago.

Chicago, June 19.-William Mangler,
former Chicago alderman and restau-
rant owner, was drowned in Lake
Michigan. His body was found float
ing a mile off Wilson beach two hours
after a row boat which he had taken
from shore, was picked up by the po-
lice.
One of the oars was missing when
Mangler's row boat was found. 1t is
believed by the police that he fell
into the water in an attempt to re-
cover the car when it slipped from
the lock. The victim was dressed in
a blue bathing suit, and it is thought
that he rowed out into the lake with
the intention of taking a swim
