cheering and some Kissing and cries of
derision by crowd Of several hundred
men last night.
Despite the talk of overwhelming
Roosevelt sentiment in Nebraska and
Omaha, the demonstration in front of

jority Of those present were either
pleased or not greatly displeased with
the result of the weeks battle In Chi

cheered and clapped hands; a few hats
were tossed into the air The few men
who gave expression to their Ill feeling
over the collapse of the Roosevelt move
ment within the party soon exhausted
their dispositions to hiss and deride.
Until a. late hour a crowd stood In
front of the bulletin board. The indi-

changed from minute to minute, some
moving on and others coming to take
their places. They scanned the board

National Committee Takes Up the
Work Monday.
BALTIMORE, June 22-Plans for the
hearing Monday by the democratic ma
tional committee Of rival delegations for
seats In the democratic convention were
completed today by members Of the
committee.
Death has reduced by one the number
Of contests. There will be no contest in
the Sixth Louisiana district. In the same
manner in which the contest was created
1t has been solved. The vacancy in the
delegation was caused by the tragic
death in Washington Of the late Rep
resentative Robert C. Wycliffe, chosen to
the Baltimore convention some time ago.
A dispute arose as to which of the two
alternates in the district were entitled
to his seat here. Secretary Urey Wood
con of the democratic national commit
tee has been informed that one of the
alternates also has died.
Up to date the national committee has
received notification Of contests affect
ing the entire delegations from the Dis
trict of Columbia, Porto Rico. Vermont,
the Philippines and Alaska. In addition
rival claims have been made to the seats
Of the delegates from Illinois at large;
the first ten districts Of that state and
also the Twentieth. Other contests in
augurated are over three seats from
Rhode Island, one seat in the Seventh
and in the Ninth Pennsylvania districts
and both seats in the Seventh and Six
teenth Texas districts.

BALTIMORE, June 22-The vigorous
continuation Of the unit rule of the demo-
cratic national conventions was con-
sidered tonight by the committee on ar
rangements, meeting with its subcommt-
tee on rules. Charles r. Crisp Of Georgia,
parliamentarian Of the national house Of

vention, cited the precedents for the unit
rule.
'The committees purpose was to pre-
pare advice for the national chairman
and for the temporary chairman, during
the respective periods they preside over
the convention preceding the permanent
Organization as to whether the unit rule
Of voting in the state delegations shall
be recognized. The issue will be raised
es a point Of order in the convention, it
is. expected. and not through formal con-
tests Of rival delegations"

mittee will meet again Monday with Mr..

Two Men Injured
When Car Strikes
Wagon on Track

A rear-end collision between Farnam
street car and heer wagon driven by
Fortunate zancanella ana Tony Aldera,
both of 1924 Dodge street, nearly resulted
fatally for the men on the lighter vehicle
last night at Tenth and Jackson streets,
about s o'clock.
The men were driving north in the
car tracks and the street car came along
behind, striking the wagon before 1t
could get off the track. Both men were
thrown from their seats to the ground
and painfully injured. Zancanella sus-
tanned a broken left arm and bruises
about the face and body, and Aldera suf-
fered a scalp wound several inches in
length, besides a bad wound on the
right forearm. Zancanella was taken to
st. Josephs hospital. but Aldera was
able to go to his own home. The wagon
upon which the men were riding was
demolished. It was the property OF
Cantoni and Bertracini, proprietors OF
the Roma hotel at Eleventh and Dodge

J. Bryan, on his way to Baltimore to-
night, was asked whether he would take
the matter of the temporary chairman
ship Of the democratic convention on the
floor of the convention.
y IT do not care to discuss the situation, ="
he said.
What I have done has been done In
the interest Of harmony. As you will
see from the telegram to the presidential

person for the place. urged that the con-
vention find temporary .chairman-a
gentleman suitable to the two leading
candidates, and thus make sure of a
harmonious opinion Of the convention.
Instead the subcommittee selected a
reactionary to open progressive conven-
ton. No intelligent man could believe
that such move is in the interest Of
harmony at a time like this. hope that
the full committee will select some man
in harmony with the majority sentiment
Of the convention and thus give the demo-
Gratis a united beginning"
Samuel Gompers, president Of the Amer
