Fight on Parker Is to
Be Continued,
CASE OF BACK TRACKING
Semi-Official Statement Made
That All Was Harmony.
HILL IS NOT WORRYING NOW
Ho Believes One Ballot Will Be Suf
'flcient to Nominate Jurist-Murphy
Says He Is Leaving All
to His Lieutenants.
ST. LOUTS, July 5. Tammany furnished
one of the few sensational Incidents of
the day by swiftly back-tracking on a
eeml-olTlclal announcement that It had
dropped Its opposition to Parker. During
the forenoon the organization allowed
It to become known through some of its
most prominent representatives that it
had decided to join the Parker forces.
After a period of silence and apparent po
litical Idleness, late this afternoon they
renewed their warfare against his candl
"dacy, and Senator Victor Dowllng.
Charles A. Towne. Bird S. Coler and
Bourke Cockran started to poll the dele
gates and ask for votes against Parker.
Senator Dow ling, on behalf of Charles
F. Murphy, made this statement:
"Judge Parker cannot be nominated.
"We have 400, more than one-third of the
convention, pledgod against him. He
cannot be nominated. Only this afternoon
we won three new states to our cause."
It was said by other Tammany men
that the real object of the fight was ilc
Clellan, but Senator Dowllng protested
that Tammany was simply against Par
ker. Closing his Interview, he said sig
nificantly: "You'll see a very bard fight
on the platform."
Hill Says One Ballot Will Decide.
Senator Hill Edward Murphy. Jr., and
"William F. Sheehan were confident at the
Parker headquarters. Senator Hill sold:
"Judge Parker may not be nominated on
the first ballot, as delegations like to pay
tribute to favorite sons, but he will be
on the second."
Mr. Sheehan said: "Judge Parker will
bo the nominee. Nothing can stop It now.
"We are gaining every hour in strength."
Ex-Senator Murphy said: "Parker will
be nominated on tho first ballot, for be
fore we get to the end of the rollcall. all
the states will want to jump in the band
wagon."
Charles F. Murphy said: "My opinion of
the situation has not changed and my
attitude has not. No candidate has been
nominated, not even Parker. Before say
ing anything further, I propose to await
, the result of the convention. The action
of that body will settle everything, and
Tammany will be as loyal to the acts of
this convention, as they have been to the
Instructions of the New York State Con
vention."
Asked whether he stood for his lieuten
ant's statements that there wero votes
enough to defeat Parker, he said:
"I cannot say. Others are taking care
.of the campaign."
Empire State Delegation Meets.
At the meeting of the New York dele
gation this morning, Ex-Senator Hill was
chosen a member of the committee on
resolutions. State Senator Thomas F.
Grady, of Tammany Hall, was selected
as the member of the committee on rules
and order of business. Ex-United States
Senator Edward Murphy. Jr., of Troy,
was made chairman of the delegation, and
Norman E. Mack, of Buffalo, was re
elected as National committeeman. James
"W. Ridgeway, of Brooklyn, a McCarren
adherent, was unanimously selected to
represent the state on tho committee on
credentials.
The only spice Injected Into the meeting
was the offering of a resolution by Bourke
Cockran, providing that "In the opinion
of this delegation a plain statement
should be Included in the platform that
the decision of the people on the money
issue, as twice exemplified in two elec
tions, should be the final settlement of
the financial question, and of vital impor
tance in the next general election."
Mr. Cockran. in speaking of his resolu
tion, and arguing its adoption, said
the financial question as presented In the
two last National platforms, had been
discarded by the people, and that this
decision should be the basis of the finan
cial plank In the new platform.
George Raines, of Rochester, opposed
Mr. Cockran's motion. He argued
there was no reason for on extremely rad
ical course on the plank, and believed
that the matter could be aafely left In the
hands of Senator Hill. He moved that It
be referred to Senator Hill, with power.
This was adopted by a vote of 50 to 26.
Senator Grady offered a proposition that
should a resolution be Introduced into the
convention proposing an abrogation of the
two-thirds rule and the adoption of a ma
jority rule. New York should oppose it.
Senator Hill remarked he thought
that matter could be intelligently acted
upon by Senator Grady In the committee
on rules, and It was unanimously referred
to him.
The meeting then adjourned, subject to
the call of the chairman. After adjourn
ment, Delegate Bird Coler said:
"It is practically certain that Senator
Hill and his following do not Intend to
take a definite stand on the money ques
tion. They are going to take a half-way
course, so as to thoroughly displease Mr.
Bryan and his small following."
The Tammany people are so confident
that things are going to run smoothly
that tHey have practically decided to or
der their special train to leave Friday
afternoon, anticipating that the conven
tion will be over at that time.
HEARST MANAGER DEFEATED.
Hopkins Easily Wins Over Lawrence
With Illinois Delegation.
ST. LOUIS. JuTy 5. The Montana dele
ration organized today and elected Sena
tor William A. Clark chairman. The unit
rule was adopted, but the consid
eration of candidates was deferred
until tomorrow. The following were
selected to represent the State
sommlttee: Governor Joseph K.
Toole, permanent organization; W. G.
Conrad, credentials; Joseph Smith, rules
and order of business; Martin Maglnniss,
resolutions; H. A. Gallway, to notify the
nominee for President; J. D. Losekamo,
to notify the nominee for Vice-President.
C W. Hoffman was elected NaUonal com.
mltte'man. Senator Gibson was absent.
Joseph Smith, his alternate, is serving.
Before the Illinois delegates met for
their caucus this afternoon, it -was
rumored that they were about to holt '
their Hearst Instructions and come out
for Parker on the first ballot. There was
no foundation for the rumor and Chair
man Fred J. Kern declared in his ad
dress that the delegates of Illinois -would
be faithful to all the obligations Imposed
upon them by their State Convention.
Andrew M. Lawrence, who is one of the
active managers of the Hearst candidacy,
was nominated for chairman of the dele
gation against John P. Hopkins, who
was personally opposed to Hearst. Law
rence received eight votes, Including that
of Mr. Hopkins, while the latter received
46 votes.
The Michigan delegation is evenly di
vided between Parker and Hearst, but
with all the members present It is claimed
that Parker will have a majority of two.
The Parker forces are under the leader
ship of D. J. Campau. The Hearst men
offered to compromise the situation' by
voting for Campau for President, but he
declined the honor. As a unit rule pre
vails In the delegation, Mr. Campau
hopes to swing the entire vote for Parker.
Virginia Denies It Is for Gorman.
The Virginia delegation, which arrived
today, saw In an evening paper yesterday
I that they were for Senator Gorman for
President. They all signed this declara
tion, written by Senator Daniel:
"The chairman Is hereby instructed to
cast the vote of tho delegation for Alton
B. Parker as long as his namo la before
the convention.
When the delegation met later they for
mally resolved In the same sense.
Instructed for Parker, the Texas delega
tion at its meeting today had only to or
ganize. The meeting was entirely har
monious, and although no formal resolu
tions were passed the unanimous senti
ment of the delegation appeared to favor
a conservative platform.
R. M. Johnston was elected National
committeeman. Senator Bailey member of
the resolutions committee and T. W.
Gregory member of the credentials com
mittee. The delegation did not commit
Itself on the subject of tho Vice-Presidency.
Representative T. H. Ball was se
lected to second the nomination of Judge
Parker, and C. H. Smith to second the
nomination of the Vie-Presidentlal can
didate. Inquiry among the North Carolina dele
gation shows that Parker sentiment is
predominant and this delegation is sub
ject to the unit rule and Parker Is assured
the vote of this delegation.
At an Informal conference of the Dela
ware delegation early today It was de
cided that the delegation should adhere
to Judge Gray. "While tho decision was
not final. It was said that as yet the
delegation saw no reason to abandon their
favorite son.
Succeeds George Fred Williams.
Massachusetts elected "William A. Gas
ton National committeeman, vice George
Fred Williams. The delegation appointed
a committee of five to Immediately make
a canvass of the unlnstructcd delegations,
with a view to gathering In all tho Olney
votes possible. Massachusetts claims the
vote of Maine for her candidate.
Representative Thayer, a member of the
delegation, said after the meeting that
the situation was by no means regarded
as hopeless for Olney. "We will vote
for Olney to the last," said he. "Not
withstanding the claims of the Parker
leaders, we refuse to bo stampeded. "We
do not believe Parker has the necessary
votes and we do believe that if we stay
in the fight until Parker is defeated we
will get the Hearst strength and finally
win with the nomination of Mr. Olney."
Enthusiastically for Parker was the
meeting of the Tennessee delegation,
which organized and elected officers. R.
E. Mount was chosen National Commit
teeman. It was decided to hold off the Carmack
boom for Vice-President in abeyance un
til the Presidential nomination has been
disposed of.
The Nevada delegation met today and
elected George Russell chairman of the
delegation. Senator Francis G. Newlands
was selected for the committee on reso
lutions; P. C. Webber, for credentials:
i W. E. Sharon for rules and permanent
organzatlon. J. H. Dennis was elected
member of the National Committee.
The West Virginia delegation re-elected
John T. McGraw.
Bryan Will Represent Nebraska.
At the meeting of the Nebraska delega
tion W. J. Bryan was appointed to repre
sent the state upon the committee on
resolutions.
Mr. Bryan's contention will be for the
reaffirmation of the Kansas City plat
form, but the delegation recognizes the
Improbability of securing such a stand.
The discussion was, therefore, devoted to
the consideration of what to do in that
event. No conclusion was reached, but
the tendency Is to accept the situation
if fairly liberal declarations can be se
cured. In that event Mr. Bryan will
probably not make a platform fight on
the convention floor. He has not formal
ly declared his position, but his fellow
delegates thus Interpret It
It can be stated on the best authority
that the Wisconsin delegation will vote
for the nomination of Edward C Wall
until he or some other candidate receives
the nomination.
The Philippine delegates got together
soon after the National Committee meet
ing and drew up a protest to the conven
tion. The delegates feel that the failure
of the Philippine Democratic platform,
adopted April 30, 1904, to declare for the
J fink yw .

This picture of th first home laid out In Portland, In the year 1842, is made from a drawing furnished by Captain
"William I. Hlggtn, of 665 Everett street, the oldest voter la this city, and one of lta most respected pioneers. The house
In Question was tho home of "William Johnson, his Indian wife and family. Johnson was an Englishman and a trapper, in
the employ of the Hudson Bay Company, and Captain Hlggins knew him well. The house disappeared about ten years ago,
but It stood la Caruthers Addition, facing the 'Willamette Biver, on a lot bounded by Whltaker, Curry and Hood streets
and the Macadam Road It was about 30 feet long and 15 feet wide, and the small outhouse at the left-hand corner was
Johnson's still, where ho made hla whisky, not being bothered in those remote days by fharp-eyed Internal revenue offi
cers. Instead of shingles, "shakes" covered the roof, and by opening the front door and looking" through the opposite one,
a view of Mount St. Helens could be obtained. Captain HIgglns came to this city In 18-13, so that he la Portland's oldest
pioneer. He went away on successive voyages', and did not return until 1850 when tho Johnsons had left for parts un
known, probably scared away by the approach of civilization. Captain HIgglns had the drawing made, from measurements
he supplied, at the office of the City Surveyor, and it bs suggested that either an enlarged picture of this house or a model
of It be made, for exhibition purposes at the Lewis and Clark Fair.
Independence of the Islands, Is largely
responsible for their treatment. This
platform asks for a territorial form of.
government and free trade on the same
basis as Porto Rico.
The caucus of the delegation from Min
nesota developed a warm contest between
Hearst and anti-Hearst forces, and after
a three hours' WTangle the former fac
tion put through its slate. The fight cen
tered on the selection of National Com
mitteeman, and for a time the ballot
stood at a tie. Delegate Nye, of Moore
head, who had been considered an anti
Hearst man, finally threw his vote to T.
T. Hudson, "of Duluth, electing him over
R. T. O'Connor, of St. Paul, the opposi
tion candidate. The minority then at
tempted aurally with John Llnd as a can
didate for a place on the resolutions com
mittee, but Mr. Nye again voted with the
Hearst delegates, and the remainder of
the slate was put through without op
position. The.North Carolina delegation met to
night and decided to cast Its solid vote
for Parker.
The New Mexico delegation held Its
caucus this afternoon and re-elected H.
B. Ferguson as a member of the Na
tional Committee. The delegation is in
structed for Hearst, but four of the dele
gation declared tonight that they were
anxious to vote for Parker, and would do
so at the earliest opportunity that pre
sented itself to break away from Hearst.
By a vote of 24 to 2. the Kentucky dele
gation decided tonight to support the
candidacy of Judge Parker.
The Alabama delegation resolved to
support Parker.
PAKKEE A PIGHTER.
How He Reversed the Decision of His
Own Court.
"World's "Work.
Judgo Alton B. Parker Is a stickler for
rigid maintenance of the terms of the
Constitution. A few years ago, after
vigorous argument in consultation, he
prepared a dissenting opinion to his
court's decision reached by a vote of
Ave to two that the New York statute,
compelling municipalities to see that con
tractors paid workmen the prevailing
rate of wages, was unconstitutional. He
argued that the Constitution gives eacn
state a right to decide on what terms Its
business or tho business of one of its
parts, shall be done. Two years later,
a similar case was appealed from Kan
sas to the United States Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court's decision followed
almost exactly Judgo Parker's reason
ing. Again, a case almost similar arose
In New York. Meanwhile, Judge Parker,
with his characteristic perseverence, had
worked day and night until he had col
lected all the decisions ever made In tho
United States on the question of the con
stitutionality of statutes. Some of these
were copied from manuscript records, so
that Judge Parker has now In his library
at Rosemount the only complete collec
tion of such decisions. When the sec
ond case came to the court, he was pre
pared. He quoted decision after decis
ion, developed the whole theory of state
rights under the Constitution, and
brought in, as a triumphant reinforce
ment, the Supreme Court's decision
clinching his own former dissenting opin
ion. This time the voto was Ave to two
again, and Judge Parker again read an
opinion. But this time It was the court's
opinion. Clear thinking and. assiduous
work had made his Idea prevail.
The large fact underlying this was that
Judgo Parker believes that the Consti
tution clearly marks the functions of
executives, courts and Legislatures, and
that no one of these departments of the
Government should trench on the others.
Judge Parker the Lucky.
Everybody's.
According to the legend. Alton B. Par
ker, when a boy, heard a Syracuse lawyer
make a plea, and was so much Impressed
thereby that he resolved to be a lawyer
himself. At 16, yOu are to see him. teach
ing bigger boys than himself In "Virgil
Township. "The Judge's hair Is of a
"rjch copper" hue In these days. In those
days It may have been a frank, aggres
sive rod; and the Virgil boys pretended to
light matches at It, according to the Im
memorial jest. There was a short strug
gle. The bully of the school was scat
tered and battered by the young Cortland
ers fist. Judging from his present build,
ho must have been a tall young man of
his hands and worthy of his hair. So he
conquered Virgil and went on to conquer
other things. He got his degree at the
Cortland Normal School. He taught school
in Ulster County for $3 a day, big pay for
that time. He filled all his leisure with
law study. He read law in the office of
Augustus Schoonmaker, of Kingston,
afterward Attorney-General of the state,
and was graduated from the Albany Law
School In 1672. The world went well with
him then and it has gone well with him
since. So far he has paid his passage. He
had the art of making himself liked. He
had the still greater art of being lucky.
He wa3 the Prince Fortunatus of Ulster
County.
Arrest Man Thought to Be Burglar.
Charles Moore was arrested at a late
hour last night, on suspicion of being the
burglar who broke Into the Roosevelt sa
loon, at Sixth and Davis streets, early
jesteraay morning. Two unopened bot
tles of whisky, found on his person, lead
tho police to believe that ho Is the right

ALL CONTESTS LOST
Democratic National Commit
tee Finishes Its Work.
HARRISON-HEARST MEN MAD
They Declare They Will Even Carry
Their Fight Against Hopkins to
the Convention Defeat Is
Also One for Bryan.
ST. LOUIS. Mo., July 5. The National
Committee held this afternoon what will
probably be Its last meeting. The reports
of subcommittees appointed to hear con
tests in tho States of Illinois, 'Indiana,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, South Dakota and tho
District of Columbia were heard and con
curred In. Not one contest was success
ful. The majority of these will go before
the committee on credentials. Palmer
"Woods, of Honolulu, was declared a mem
ber of the committee to succeed "William
H. Cornwell, deceased. A resolution was
passed providing that the delegates from
the Philippine Islands and from Porto
Rico should be given, seats In the con
vention, but no votes UnMl their status
had been fixed. ""
A resolution commending tho work of
the National chairman. James K. Jones,
and other officials of the committee, was
unanimously adopted, and Chairman Jones
made an address expressing his thanks for
the appreciation of his work. The com
mittee then adjourned.
Tho subcommittee which heard the evi
dence In the 14 districts of Illinois today
reported to the National Committee that
It was the unanimous opinion of the mem
bers of the subcommittee that the Hop
kins delegates be allowed to retain the
seats. Tho report was concurred In, and
the Hopkins people will hold tholr seats
unless ousted by the action of the com
mittee on credentials.
The decision of tho subcommittee, was
based on the ground that the stato con
vention Is supreme; that fights in the
district caucuses aro not proper matter
for adjudication by tho National Commit
tee and It Is not the business of the Na
tional Committee to go behind the record
of the convention as submitted to them.
Harrison-Hearst Men Still to Fight.
The Harrison and Hearst men are
greatly disheartened by their defeat and
announce their Intention of carrying the
fight before tho committee on credentials,
and If beaten there, before the convention
Itself.
This statement does not alarm the Hop
kins people, who say that the argument
that won for them before the National
Committee will hold good before the
committee on credentials, before the con
vention, also.
"It is all over," said John P. Hopkins.
"We won, as I knew we would. There
was. In fact, nothing else for tho com
mittee to do. "What steps may be taken
later will have no effect. Our delegates
will remain just where the state conven
tion seated them."
Defeat for Bryan as Well.
The victory of the Hopkins faction was
also a defeat for "W. J. Bryan, who has
made the fight almost a personal matter.
He yesterday attended the hearing in the
greater part of tho contests, and showed
his anxiety in every way to win the seats
for the Harrison and Hearst people.
"The action of the convention Is far
reaching' he said, "and means that the
work of a few men la to stand before
the wishes of the majority of the dele
gates. I hope tho credentials committee
will see the matter in a different light."
Several times tho retorts between
tho contesting factions were or so
heated a nature that Chairman Stone, of
the subcommittee, was compelled to re
peatedly call for order, and only suggested
that the gentlemen from Illinois would
find the outside of the hotel a proper
placo to conduct their arguments If their
minds were "made up for a bull fight."
Charges of high-handed work were
made repeatedly against the secretary of
the state convention, Georgo A. Brennan,
and the representatives of the 23d dis
trict. M. L. Kudy declared that twice he.
had furnished to Mr. Brennan the names
of the delegates selected In their district
caucus and that twice Mr. Brennan had
thrown It on the floor, and he had found
it there and submitted It to the com
mittee. This brought Brennan to his feet
with an Impassioned denial of the asser
tions made by Mr. Kudy, and he wound
up his defense with the declaration,
"Everybody knows that I would not do
such a thing."
Jeered by the Contestants.
This called forth jeers from the con
testants and Brennan took his seat in
silence.
An acrimonious fight took placo In the
hearing of the contest In the 23d district.
Here it was admitted that General Al
fred Orendorff had been selected by a
regular and a bolting caucus as well, and
that later his name was removed and that
of Duncan C. Best was -substituted. Mr.

In the 16th district, which is the home
of Frank P. Quinn. who acted as chair
man of the convention, R. M. Barnes; who
prceented the case of the contestants, de
clared that the names of the delegates
as announced by Secretary Brannan con
sUtuted a clear case of forgery, and as
serted, that the statements of the contes
tees were not enUtled to weight, because
any man who would forge a signature
would commit perjury to back, it up.
"Whom do you mean?" asked Quinn.
"I mean the man who altered the namea
on the report of that district caucus,"
replied Barnes. "I do not know who did
It, but whoever ho was can put the shoe
on square."
Mr. Quinn took tho floor in his own de
fense, and declared the statement
which had been made by the contestants,
that the list of the delegates from the

tion, was absolutely false.
