 URGES "UNDuUTED
 AMERICANISM" ON ALL Many Bull Moose Leaders Pledge Their Support To C. O. P. Standard Bearer. Sufragettes Bother Him
fBy Review Leased Wire,

NEW YORK, June 13.-Charles E. Hughes today defined his attitude to- ward German American support as one of "undiluted Americanism' in the first statement issued since his accep- tance of the Republican nomination for president he said:
 q stated my position very clearly in my telegram to the convention. My attitude is one of -urdilu' ed American ism and anybody that st1ports me 's supporting an out-and@ American and an out-and-out Ar 'can policy, absolutely nothing else"
 The nominees day, busy one, was devoted almost exclusively to receiv- ing callers His visitors were more numerous than yesterday. There were so many of them at one time that a line was formed and they fil- ed pas; to shake hands and chat for a moment instead of waiting to be received alone.
 Prooressives Flop.
 Several Progressive leaders and Re- publican supporters of Colonel Roos- evelt were among them.
 Everett Colby of New Jersey who placed Jno. M. Parker in nomination for fhe vice presidency at the Pro grcssive convention, and Theodore Douglas Robinson, nephew of Colonel Roosevelt and a former Progressive leader in New York called during MT. Hughes absence at luncheon. They left word that they would return In a day or so to deliver in person pledges of support.
 Republican leaders who saw MT. Hughes, included former Governor B. B. Odell Of New York, Wm. H. Crocker and M H. De Young of San Francisco, Dr. Nicholas Murray Butelr and Lloyd C. Griscom of New York Dr. Butler. at Chicago, spent nearly an nour con ferring with MT Hughes. Henry Frank A Vanderlip. president of the National City Bank of New York, Made their visits.
 Suffraeettes Busy.
 Suffrage leaders sought vainly to obtain the ncminee's views as to theii cause Miss Lucy burns and Mrs. Chas. A Beard tried unsuccessfully to see him. Mrs. Laura B. Prisk, chair man of the Wonan's Republican com nittee Of New York had two min ute talk with him during which he said he probably would make known his views in suffrage in his formal speech of acceptance.

DRUNKEN BOUT RESULTS IN
 MURDER
GUNNAR DUMAS KILLED, PRE- SUMA6lY BY HIS COUNTRY
 MEN, IN UPPER LOWELL. OF TIGERS HUNTING COMPANIONS

Gunnar Quinas,. a young Finlander, while on his way home this morning, shortly after o'clock, was killed by a bullet wound over the heart. When the Review went to press the officers of Bisbee and Lowell were combing the sides of Jiggerville and Upper Lowell for several Finlanders who are known to have goen home about the time the murder was committed in an intoxicated condition
 The tragedy occurred just east of the bridge in Upper Lowell. Accord ing to Mir. Martin, who lives enarby four or five Finlanders came along the street and were fighting, or using un. usual language Two of the number. according to Martin, fought for forty or fifty feet up the street. A second later Martin heard two shots, the first one undoubtedly hitting the mark and the second going into the air.
 Aid was rushed to the man in a very short time. The others, however. had disappeared. Quinas was not dead but died before he reached the Copper Queen Hospital.
 When his effects were examined by Judge George R. Smith a pocket book containing an identification card and the address of William Kusick. R. F. D. No. 1, Box 76, Claquit, Minnesota, as the person to notify in case of serious accident. The pocket book also contained a matter of $50 in currency. Tn other pockets he had some loose change. In his left coat pocket he carried thirty two calibre revolver. In another pocket was a trip ticket to Chicago. From the dates on the ticket it was apparent the man was to have left today for the east
 Several theories are advanced as a reason for the crime. First that Quinas was killed for his money and the murderers becoming afraid to go through his clothes after they shot him. Another is that the mur' der is the result of drunken quarrel
 The body was taken to the O. K Undertaking company. The inquest will be held today before Judge Smith in Lowell.

 BLAZE
Many More Employees Are Be- lieved Lost. Over Million Bushels Of Grain Also Go Up In Smoke
LOSS ESTIMATED AT
 2 MILLION DOLLARS
Bomb Theory Persists In Spite Of Denials. Ors Pier, Two Steamers And Several Rail- way Cars Also Damaged

BALTIMORE, June 13.-Pennsylva- mia Railroad elevator No. 3 on the har- bor front at Canton, was burned today with a loss of life conservatively esti- mated at from four 70 ten men and in- juries to more than Sorty others. The victims were mostly elevator employ es and cargo trimmers. Three of the injured were in critical condition to- night.
 Two steamships, the Willem Van Driel ST.. Dutch vessel, and the Brit ish steamer Welbrek Hall, which were loading grain at the elevator. also were badly damaged by fire and wreck age dropped upon them from the ele- vator.
 The flames spread to an ore pier next to the elevator badly damaging it. Several strings of grain cars in the elevator were burned
 Bomb Suspected
 While the fire is thought to have been caused by an explosion of grain dust, theory was advanced that it may have been caused by a bomb. This theory will be investigated. Con servative estimates placed the loss at more than s2,OOO,OOO. Altogether a. bout a million bushels of wheat, oats, barley, rye and buckwheat were de stroyed.
 Score Escape
 Scores of men barely escaped with their lives. Forty-four grain handlers and stevedoers who were partially imprisoned in the hold of the Welbrek Hall fought their way to freedom over piles of grain. Gaining the deck of the ship, they found their way to shore cut off by the flames. Some of them jumped overheard and were picked up. Launches ran alongside and took of the others.
 Two gangs of grain handlers. inI- prisoned on the Wiliem Van Driel, ST. for a time, made a dash across the elevator wharf to safety. but they were showered with sparks and burn ing wood and only few escaped un- scratched. The charred bodier of two men were found in the hold of the Willem Van Driel St. tonight.
