CONTROL OF DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION;
say they will get number Hoosier
ADMINISTRATION WON
SERIES OF VICTORIES
By Decisions of Credentials Committee
in Three Hotly-Fought
Seat Contests.

San Francisco, June 29.-Adminis
tration supporters strengthened their
hold on the Democratic national con
vention through a series of victories in
the credentials committee, which de-
cided three hotly fought contests One
of these was the denial of a seat in
the convention to Senator James A.
Reed of Missouri. The Clark Howell
delegates in Georgia pledged to Attorney
General Palmer, also were seated. Both
actions were in accord with previous
decisions of the national committee.
The credentials committee, however,
overruled the national committee in
the Oregon cases, where it seated r. X.
Turner and John L. Schuylerman, Civ
ing each one half vote. Turner, who
was selected by the Oregon state com
mitee to fill vacancy caused by the
death of George T. Baldwin, was forced
to Weld half of his vote to Schuyler
man, described as a strong admins
tration supporter. Schuylerman2claimed
the seat on the ground that he was the
next highest man in the primary, hav-
ing been fifth in the race for the four
places.
All three contests were long drawn
out and were marked by acrimonious
and bitter personal at
taeks. Chairman Jameson of Iowa
maintained order with difficulty, But
the administration group reigned when
the voting came on each Of the CON
tests.
There was no indication from the
Reed forces as to their next move. The
senator was not at the hearing. Fran
els w. Wilson. counsel, said the sena
tors wishes would be consulted be-
fore further action was considered. He
reminded the committee the fight was
being made entirely by the delegation
from Kansas City district and that the
senator, never has and does not make |
/ demand for the seat"

the Discussions

San Francisco, June 29.~-Actua
preparation of the Democratic plat
form delegated last night to a sub
committee of nine under administra
tion leadership, waited while the plat
form committee of So kept open house
to hear final suggestions and argu
meuts from many sources.
Labor, liquor and the Irish question, all
subjects of disagreement among party
leaders, were up for debate at the
committees public hearings Besides
there were many speakers on issues OF
lesser controversy, and there seemed
little prospect that the long list could
be finished until late in the day.
Meantime, observers studied the
makeup of the subcommittee, it be-
came more apparent that the real CON
test over the platform would come aft
er the subcommittee report had been
laid before the full committee for re.
view. William J. Bryan, omitted by
the administration leaders from mem
bership on the subcommittee. said he
probably would not present his planks
on prohibition, the league of nations
and other subjects for subcommittee
consideration.
Selected by Senator Glass Of Virgin.
in after he had been unanimously
chosen chairman of the platform COM
mittee. the subcommittee was expect
ed to show a majority of administra-
tion supporters and majority also
against inclusion Of any wet plank in
the platform Senator Glass, under
stood to be President Wilson's own
choice, 20 head the committee, made
his selections after n long conference
with Secretary Colby of the state de-
partment, a member OF the committee
from the District of Columbia, and the
administration manager on the floor Of
the convention
Secretary Colby was one of those
given membership on the sub-commit-. :.
tee. Besides Mr.. Bryan, Senator Walsh
of Massachusetts,. who advocates

WAS A "STowAwAY."
Man Found on Train Bringing Show to
Intercity Park.

H. Baker. who last evening gave his
home as Montreal, spent the night in
Washington county Jail. having been
turned over to the police force by an
immigration inspector of the United
States government following the pre-
| liminary search of the cars of the Bea :
con Carnival Co, The officer found Bak
er on the train in position which in
dicated TO him, at least, that Baker
had been smuggled into the country
Baker speaks good English and made
no effort to conceal his identity last
night. The management of the show
disclaims any knowledge of the man
coming here on the train. Special Of
ficer George Rivers was placed in
charge of the train last evening TO pre-
vent any disorder or anything of the
kind about the train. A thorough
search of the train occurred, following
the finding of Baker.
This morning the immigration officer
made a further investigation of the
train as the equipment of the carnival
was being unloaded, Baker, it appears,
was not smuggled in but stowaway.
There were two taken from the train
at st. Adams. so the management of
the carnival is eliminated from any
responsibility in connection with Baker
being on the train. The unloading Of the
train progressed slowly this morning,
owing to the fact The equipment had to
be drawn TO Intercity park, where the
show is TO appear. Tractors were used
in moving the wagons about the freight
yard, as well as drawing them to the
park.
Deputy United States Marshal G. +
Lackay went TO st. Albans this after
noon to arrest the other two men taken
off the carnival train and will return
with warrant to arrest Baker, chsrg
ing him with coming into this country

MYSTERY PARTLY CLEARED.
Name of Woman Who Died After Auto
Accident is Revealed.

Harry A. Black. secretary of state
has received from John l.. Woodbury. OF
Springfield the report of the fatal &C.
cident that took place near Windsor
last week, when Mrs. Lucia Woodbury.
was injured and died from her injuries
1t appears from the report that Mr.
Woodbury. attempted to help the aged
woman, n years old, to put on her
coat and that the first either of them
knew the machine hit something hard
and both were thrown into .he wind
shield. Mrs. Woodbury., who was sis
ter-in-l law of the driver of the ma
chine, received wound that bled free
ly and she was carried to a nearby
house. She was also reported to be suf-
fering with internal injuries. She had
a hernia, which developed great pain
and which, Mr. Woodbury. believed,
caused her death.
W. G. Douglass of Barre reported
that car, No. 26,35l, collided with
his machine recently.
ID. w. Smith of Middlesex reported
that on the 9th another car ran into
his while he was passing through a
narrow bridge and that the driver of
the other car asked him to let the mat
ter drop which he agreed to because the
report states, MY motto is, to do as /
would like to be done by" and later in
the report he says that he was told
that the state rules required a report
to the secretary and that he wanted to
follow these as well as the rules of the
Salvation Army; therefore he made a
report. H. l.. Hindley of Rutland has
reported that a ear ran into his last
week, doing a little damage to his
machine.

Thirty Per Cent Increase
In Freight Rates Not

CONDITION STATED
TO BE SERIOUS
Vice-President Ge Fort
Makes State SIT at
Concor 81. H.

Concord, n. hne 20. The 80 per
| cent Increase in feight rates asked by
the railroads of the eastern and middle
states takes no account of pending
wage increases, and some further
transportation tax upon our people
may be necessary" Gerrit Fort, vice
president of the Boston and Maine rail
road, said in an address to-day at
conference on cooperation in indus
trial, agricultural and civil matters
held under the auspices of the state
board of trade
During the two years of federal
control there was comparatively little
addition to the motive power and
equipment of the railroads." Mr.. Fort
said. They were returned to theiI
owners sadly in need of additional cars
and engines.
Railroad wages, while tremendously
increased during federal control, were
increased practically no more, generally
speaking, than necessary to meet the
labor market, or to enable railroad en-
ployes to meet the ever mounting cost
of living. In certain branches OF rail
road work to-day the railroads are pay
ing less than the market price for labor
and are consequently unable to hire
men. They cannot change this condi-
tion until the wage board, which is
now sitting in Chicago, announces its
decision.
"The fuel bill of all New England
railroads has pyramided since the war
and it is difficult at present to get coal
at any price. At this time, the Boston
and Maine railroad has but a few DAYS
supply on hand.'

ulated by the victories of yesterday
reiterated their confidence that no mi
nority report on the treaty plank could
carry.
Other planks may cause committee
discord, but there was word Of cheer
for Irish sympathizers in Mr.. Cum
mings' speech. The only issue he did
not deal with directly in his keynote
address was that over party state
ment on prohibition enforcement.
In that issue may be wrapped up the
fate of some aspirants for the presi-
dental nomination. The battle has
come TO the surface in caucus of the
New York delegation which voted with
out roll call to urge modification of
the enforcement law.
The session left behind it echoes of
gag rule" charges and assertions that
if floor battle were insisted upon by
the New Workers, the party's chances
at the polls would be ruined.
Events so far have shown no marked
reaction over night on discussion of
nomination booms. There seemed to be
a general feeling that prospect of Mr..
McAdoo's selection had increased, but
there was no definite development upon
which it could be based by those who
took this view.
With a member Of the presidents
cabinet in the race in the person of At
torney General Palmer and a former
cabinet member, Mr.. McAdoo being
urged as vigorously, no candidate has
vet been formally characterized as the
choice of the president. Administration
forces, machine-like in their unanimity
of action on other matters, are at odds
on candidates, each group supporting its
own man. The reflex of their joint
victories is therefore not easy to trace
in the nomination fight.
The converting hour of the conven-
tion to-day was ! o'clock.
