the nomination of Governor Cox be
made unanimous.
Immediately there was roar from
the tired and worn delegates, which
lasted for full four minutes before
Chairman Robinson could put the
question on Amidon's motion to sus-
pend the rules and nominate Cox by
acclamation.
At 1:43 o'clock this morning the
motion was formally voted over with
a rolling chorus of ayes and crash
ing of the brass band.
State standards which had surged
back and forth in the desperate bat
ties of the deadlock raced to the
front of the hall and to a place be-
fore the platform.
Forgot About Vice President.
In the confusion and excitement of
nomination after the strenuous
and hard sessions of the convention
almost everybody forgot about a
nomination for vice president, but
the leaders were figuring on list
which prominently included Frank
lin D. Roosevelt of New York, assist
ant secretary of the navy While
the crowd was demonstrating its re-
lease from the deadlock the leaders
arranged an adjournment until noon
tomorrow to canvass the question of
second place in the meantime and
meet again prepared to complete the
ticket.
The Cox band wagon movement
really started late this afternoon be-
fore the recess for dinner. During
the interval both sides of the fight
made deseprate appeals to Tammany
Throughout the evening New York's
vote stood the same, 90 for McAdoo
and 20 for Cox.
Slide to Cox Starts.
On the third ballot of the evening
session the slide to Cox started, and
before the leaders of the opposition
could realize it the votes were for-
ping over in twos and threes and
fours in fashion which sent him
over the majority mark and put him
at new level.
After that the going was easy.
Georgia went into the Cox column
with her entire 2S the withdrawal OF
Attorney General Palmer had re-
leased not only the Pennsylvania del
egation, but other delegates who
wanted to slide to the Cox column
The accession of twos, threes and
fours soon grew into blocks, and
when the forty-fourth ballot was
well on its way the votes were tumb-
ling into the Cox column so fast that
his nomination was an assured fact

ASSOCIATION TO MEET
JULY ID, IS, Is
THREE-DAY SESSION TO BE DI-
VIDED BETWEEN CASHMERE
AND WENATCHEE. COMPRE-
HENSIVE PROGRAM.

ington State Horticultural Associa-
ton will be held at Wenatchee and
Cashmere July 14th, 18th and 10Th
the 14th at Wenatchee, the 18th at
Cashmere, and the 18th at Wenat-
chez.
A comprehensive program has been
formulated by the officials in charge,
embracing subjects covering the
present activities of Horticulture
Transportation problems. general
publicity, by-products and pest CON
troll, from the standpoint of the pro
ducer, are among the vital subjects
to be discussed
Prominent representatives from
different sections of the state and al
so some outside of the state have
promised to appear on the program.
H. G. Eustace. who at one time was
professor of Horticulture at the Mich-
igan Agricultural College and after
wards connected with the federal d
vision of Pomology at Washington,
D. c., where he made extensive in
vestigations in the Northwest, viii
discuss the present problems from
the standpoint of the Northwestern
fruit. Mr.. Eustace is now in the
publicity division of the Curtis Pub
fishing Company and every fruit
grower in the state of Washington
should hear him A representative
of the Northwestern Fruit Grower,
from Chicago, ILL.,, will also appepr
on the program and will discuss some
problems on horticulture. viz "Easi-
ern Marketing Conditions" Repro
sentatives from the State College at
Pullman and prominent fruit grow
ers from Yakima and Wenatchee and
other sections will also be on the pro

Cashmere being on the afternoon of
the 18th and at Wenatchee the al
ternoon of the 18th.

devoted to program meetings while
other parts of the day will be given
to making trips into the orchard sec
tions, visiting storage houses, pack
ing plants, and looking into such
other questions as may come up from
time to time. Music will be disbursed
by local talent, which, all in all, viii
make it a very attractive meeting.
Membership to the State Associa-
ton at every session will be empha-
sized because it is hoped that the A
sociation may secure at least a thou
sand members from this section
the state. The membership secura1
will have much to do with the success
of the Winter Meeting, which will be
held in Spokane in December.
Programs can be secured from tho

FAST MAIL PILES
UP ON TRACK NEAR
TOWN OF HALfORD
TWO TRAMPS BELIEVED TO BE
BURIED BENEATH WRECK
AGE OF MAIL COACHES. SIX
CARS DEMOLISHED.

At least two persons were killed
and two were badly injured early
Sunday morning when No 27. the
Great Northern's fast westbound
mail train, was wrecked near Hal
ford, at the boundary of King and
Snohomish counties.
The known casualties are:
Otto Vige, thirty-three, engineer
of Everett, killed.
A. H. Warner, twenty-eight, fire
man of Leavenworth, killed.
Herman c. Hafer. thirty-two, eX-
press messenger in charge, of 1920
Twenty third Avenue South, Seattle,
contusions and decorations on face
and legs and probably internal in
juries.
Clifford f. Wilkinson, brakeman,
of 302ia Twenty-third Avenue South,
Seattle, contusions and decorations On
legs.
Two Others Believed Dead.
In addition to these, members of
the train crew were inclined to think
that two tramps, who were seen on
the train shortly before the accident
were killed, but their bodies had not
been found in the wreckage up to 6
o'clock Sunday evening. Later it is
said that parts of the tramps were
found in the wreckage, but nothing
by which they could be identified.
The train was the fastest on the
Western division of the road
As result of the accident traffic
on the main line of the Great North
ern was tied up for twelve hours.
No explanation of how the wreck
occurred has been found.
Six Coaches Demolished.
The train, consisting of ten mail
and express cars-it carried no pas
sengers-had just passed Halford at
speed of about forty miles an hour
when suddenly the engine went oiT
the track. 1t plunged on for about
300 feet, tearing up the track as it
went, and then rolled over. Six of
the cars which followed the engine
into the ditch were practically de-
molished
Vige and Warner were instantly
killed.
Hafer was in the express car,which
was literally splintered into bits, and
he had miraculous escape FROM
death. He suffered his most severe
injury when the car stove rolled
against him and crushed his chest.
Wilkinson was on one of the cars
that were badly wrecked but was

took the platform and moved that
thrown out and escaped without scri-
Gus injury.
Other members of the crew were
all aboard cars that stayed on the
track.
Physicians Rushed to Wreck.
AS soon as news of the accident
was received, railway officials, az
companied by DR.. w X. Flynn, Great
Northern physician, and DR.. NJ. B.
Challacombe, county coroner, rushed
to the scene from Everett. They
took with them two steam derricks
and wrecking crew.
After the bodies had been removed
from the wreck and medical treat
ment administered to the injured
they turned their attention to clear
ing away the debris and repairing
the track and at 10 o'clock in the eve
r;sg the road was again ready for
traffic.
Hafer, who was the more serious
ly injured of the two men hurt. was
taken in an automobile to Index and
rushed from there to Everett in y
special train. Later in the afternoon
he was removed to Providence hospi-
tai in Seattle.
Hafer said his express car hal
been picked up at Wenatchee and
that he had just finished checking up
when the accident occurred. He wa
standing in the doorway at the
time, but was thrown to the floor an
buried beneath a pile of debris.
He declared that he had seen the
two tramps on the train shortly be-
fore the crash and added that NJ
didn't believe they could have es-
capped.
Hafer said the accident occurred
just as the train was passing through
a rock cut. There was no switch
near the scene, he asserted, and he
was unable to account for the wreck
There were a number of Seattle
men on board the train who escap -
injury. Some of them are:
Albert Miller, conductor, 21O Six
teenth Avenue North.
William Hunter, brakeman, 1115
East Fir Street.
Charles f. Klaus, 1924 West Sixty
fourth Street, mail clerk in charge.
Traffic on the Great Northern was
generally demoralized all day as "A

atively brief time.

the oldest conductor on the Cas-
cade division.
Although the mail cars were all
badly damaged, it was said that none
of the mail was destroyed in the
wreck.

fast mail was the fateful No. 1881
which jumped the track up the Can

third time this same engine went in
to the ditch. causing death. This en-

track on curves at high speed as well
as some engines of the same class
though no reason why it would not
could be discovered.
