GRAND ISLAND, Neb.. July 25. Hundreds of delegates to the state Democratic convention discussed In the hotel lobbies tonight plans of the contest expected to be waged In the convention hall tomorrow. Leaders of the fight against county .option were here in force and appar ently were confident nothing could de velop to alter their stand against the Insertion of a county option plank in the platform to be adopted by the con vention. W. J. Bryan, leader in the battle for county rule on the question, did not eppear in Grand Island tonight, al though he had been anxiously awaited j me smaii Dana of delegates who r pieagea to the county option plank.

Many Delegates Against Option. The Bpeaker asserted that the present county option fight had been brought about by the evasive policies of Gover nor Shallenberger. who had refused to permit a direct presentation of the initia tive and referendum on the saloon ques tion to the voters. Leaders In the anti-county option fight tonight declare that more than 4S0 of the SS6 delegates to the convention are instructed against county option and that almost 200 of y.e unlnstructed delegates will take the same stand. The speech of Mr. Bryan on the platform is awaited with much interest, but his opponents insist that any effort to sway the con vention will be futile. Populists Also Gather. The question of an indorsement of the administration" of Governor Shal lenberger, which had promised to be an important issue before the conven tion, has almost been lost sight of in the county option warfare. The Populist convention, which also will be held in Grand Island tomorrow, may lend complications to the Demo cratic situation, as at a gathering of the leaders tonight it was indicated that a county option plank would form a part of the platform. The leaders also declared in favor of the initiative and referendum on the matter. Among the Populist delegates are many of the one-time adherents of Mr. Bryan, and it is believed by many that the action of the smaller convention may have an important bearing on the deliberations of the Democrats. OPTIOX BOTHERS REPUBLICANS Nebraska Insurgents Seem to Have Control of Convention. LINCOLN. Neb.. July 25. The prin cipal questions that will receive con sideration by delegates to the Repub lican state convention here are. "in surgency" and the control of the liquor business by county option, and from all appearances tonight the . "Insur gents" and "optionlsts" controlthe sit uation. To a great extent the two ideas are supported by the same peo ple and a victory for one tarries with it the success of the other. The temporary organization of the convention is in the hands of the "reg ular" anti-option wing of the partv, through the state central committee.

NEW INSURANCE PLAN HELD Certificates May Be Made Like Old-Line Policies. ELECTION SLATE, READY Few Contests Expected in Choice of Officers W. C. Ha v. ley's Oppo- . nents for Head Master With draw Drill Teams Here. With 103 delegates in attendance, the tenth annual session of the head camp of the Woodmen of the World for the Pacific jurisdiction of the order began its work yesterday morning. The offi cers predict that many matters of im portance to the order will be passed upon during the week. Inasmuch as the larger part of the delegates are experienced in the work, no delays are looked for in getting down to actual business. The committee on legislation, which holds over from the Seattle head camp and which will have a number of recommendations to-make. Is composed of Past Head Adviser A. E. Sunderland and Past Head Camp Delegates Part ridge, Reynolds. North and Howze. One' of the Important recommenda tions that it is understood will be made by the committee is the abolishment of the accumulative, or "scaled" certifi cate. It is pointed out that the Wood men of the World is the only order of any importance that still retains what many .members consider "a weapon in the . hands of competitors." The fact that the old-line insurance companies, they say, pay the full face on the poli cies or certificates. irrenner-tiva whether the deaths occur in the first, second or third year after the insurance protection is effected, puts the order at a disadvantage in the solicitation of new business and consequently retards the growth of the order. Another mat ter to be discussed. It is said, win be the per capita tax for providing funda for meeting the expenses connected with the management of the order. Harmony Expected to Prevail. While it is rumored that trade unionism may be injected into the ses sions over the question of publishing the Pacific Woodman, the official organ of the head camp, prominent members aver that the matter will be satisfac torily settled without creating dissen sion of any sort. It is understood that the Pacific Woodman, which is printed at a union publishing house, will ' be continued as the official paper. John F. Foley, of Fresno, Cal.. who offered an amendment to the constitution re quiring the officers of the head camp to let the contract for printing the pa per to the lowest bidder, will withdraw the amendment, it is said, in the' inter ests of harmony. For the office of head banker, P. E. Snodgrass, of Eugene, will have the unanimous support of the Oregon dele gates for re-election. T. R. Revelle, an attorney of Seattle, has also announced his candidacy for this office and Is said to have come to Portland with the (Concluded on Page 9.) Temblors Keep Up for 18 Hours.

Wider's Thefts Placed at $600,000. $520,000 IN STOCKS STOLEN Bank Asks No Warrant, but Police Hunt for Cashier. DEFAULTER UNDER COVER Puzzling Crime in Startling Light as Missing Securities Known to Be otr Great 'Value Bonds Have Been Hypothecated. rEW YORK, July 25. A general alarm was sent out by the police today for a trace of Irwin Wider, assistant cashier of the Russo-Chlnese Bank, although, oddly enough, the District Attorney's office said tonight no aid had been asked of it by the bank, and that no application for a warrant had b;en filed. But this contradiction is only one of a' series that have kept step with every development of what Is now admitted to be at once the most puzzling: and the most serious defalca tlon in the history jot Wall street since Cornelius Alvard stole $606,000 from the First National Bank, served a term in Singr Sing, and then retired to the seclusion of a princely country n&Iace. When the Russo-Chlnese Bank first made public that its strong box was snort, the amount was given as $80,000 all in negotiable bonds, a list of which was furnished. This afternoon the amount suddenly jumped to $600,000, of which the additional $520,000 Is said to be in stocks, partly owned by the bank and partly by its customers. Location of Certificates Unknown. No positive statement lias been made yet aa to.where these stock certificates now are, or. with what intent they were stolen. Inspector . E. . E. Markowskl, now ln charge of the New York branch of the bank, in the absence on vacation of Manager Gertz, says he ii convinced that Wider had outside ac complices. "When Wider entered our employ,' explained Inspector Markowskl tonight. he was a modest, exemplary clerk .Within 'the last, year I. felt sure . that some man of strong personality had gained control of him and changed his whole personality.- I am satisfied that Wider did not steal of bis own voli tion or on his own initiative." Attorney Knows "Where "Wider Is It is perhaps with a, hope of laying hands upon the power who shaped the cashier to his own ends that the bank has dealt so delicately with Wider. His counsel and neighbor, L. R. Ginsberg, has said from the first that the bank was in touch with Wider, and even to night, after the general alarm had been sent out, Mr. Ginsberg reiterated: "They know where he is, just as well as J do." Ginsberg was quick to supplement this statement with twro qualifications. First, he .wishes it understood that in his attempts to arrive at an under standing with the bank he Is not try lng to conrpound a felony, and sec- CConcluded on Pa (re 2. ) Crash to Valley Bo low -Is Narrowly Averted Mrs. Bullock and Mrs. Hill, of Seattle, Hurt. TACOMA, Wash.. July 25. (Special.) Loss of life was narrowly averted again today when an automobile containing Councilman and Mrs. Bullock and Mrs. Hill, all of Seattle, swerved from the Government road, turned completely over and lodged against a tree. Had the tree not been there to stop the machine, it would have continued on down the slope into the valley, 60 feet below. The Bullock, car was coming down the new Government road to Mount Rainier, with Mrs. Bullock at the wheel. At a point about three miles above here, known as the "Switch Back." where the road winds back and forth several times in climbing the mountain, the front wheels of the automobile struck a boulder, causing the car to swerve from the road and make for the embankment. Mrs. Bullock was thrown violently against the windshield and sustained a deep cut in the left leg, in addition to painful body bruises. Mrs. Hill, was in jured internally and badly shaken up, while Mr. Bullock escaped without a scratch. The car was little damaged, consider ing the force of the collision with the tree, and started - for Seattle under its own power. The windshield was demol ished, two lamps were broken and the running board carried away. It required the efforts of 12 men to right it and push It back up to the roadway. As soon as Park Superintendent Hall was notified, he made an investigation and, as a result, an' order was issued that no automobiles be permitted above Long mire Springs. Mr. Hall gave as his reason that the road is dangerous and should not be used for automobile travel until repaired. The place where the Bullock machine went over is near the scene of the Schoen feld wreck last year. TRAIN HURLS MAN 150 FEET One Killed and One Injured When Freight Strikes Milk Wagon. MONTESANO, Wash., July 25. (Spe cial.) When the wagon on which they were driving to this city with milk for the boat to Aberdeen was struck by a freight train, early this morning, Sam- Tockerton was instantly killed and Joseph Cimmermon was badly in jured. The accident happened at the Ndrthern Pacific crossing about a mile and a half east of Montesano. The train was going about 35 miles an hour and struck just between the horses and the wagon. Tockerton was hurled about 150 feet and was crushed almost beyond recognition. His com panion was caught in some way on the pilot of the engine. The train was stopped and the injured man hurried to the hospital here. The horses were thrown about 60 feet by the force of the collision, and one of them killed. Deputy Coroner Fleming: declared thn collision purely accidental. The men were employed bv Oscar Smith, to whom the wagon and tram I belonged, and both were natives nf Switzerland. .
