WILSON MEN LOSE CHANCE irnnflnid From First fac. amended the motion to admit both dele gations and on roll call this was de clared carried. 19 to 18.. Alter ll committee bad adjourned SOLDIER BROKEN S 'i ;. '' r V ; : Heifner discovered that S. 8. Beggs, of Stevens County, a strong personal friend, had misunderstood the motion and voted with Vance, thinking he was voting for Wilson delegates from both King and Adams counties. Then an examination of the roll call showed that Clark County, which was not rep resented In the meeting, had been cred ited with an affirmative vote. When these two mistakes were discovered Heifner threw up his hands. Old-Time Fire Is ioae. The state committee delayed the or ganisation of the convention for 43 minutes and when Heifner appeared to bring the body to order all his old time Are was missing. Rather lan guidly he rapped for order and in troduced Mayor A. J. Gillis. of Walla Walla, who in an address of welcome seised the opportunity to laud W. H. Dunphy. a Walla Walla candidate for the Democratic Gubernatorial nomina tion. The Rev. Kdward Barber, who of fered a prayer, made reference to some Democratic candidate as a "Christian gentleman." a reference variously In terpreted as Indicating both W. J. Bryan and Dunphy. In introducing C. C. Dill, whom the state committee picked for temporary chairman of the convention. Heifner made several enthusiastic references to Bryan, but failed to bring In the names of any of the other Democratic leadera or Presidential possibilities. The mention of Bryan's flame was ap plauded, but It failed to start anything like a whirlwind of applause that would have foreshadowed a stampede. When Dill spoke hla speech avoided anything that would have stirred the convention to a pro-Bryan demonstration. His arraignment of Theodore Roosevelt was received with far more Democratic enthusiasm than was his criticism of the Taft Administration. Dill. In his address. said that the cardinal principle of the Demo cratic party Is faith In the poople. He said the Democrats believed that the conclusions of a majority of the people on great questions of popular govern ment are more to b trusted than the conclusion of any man or set of men. He declared that the most significant thing about the present campaign was the army of progressive voters who will cast theiir ballots this year, and declared, unless the delegates to the Baltimore, convention are false to the principles .of Jefferson and the Ideals of th Democratic party, they will nominate a candidate and write a platform which will leave no doubt that the Democratic party Is the true progressive! party of tliej Nation. He declared that Mr. Taft's con servatism had made him the tool of the special Interests on the tariff and near ly every other question that hnd arisen In his Administration. He said: "He threw out Plnchot and kept Bellinger: ho (justed Wiley and kept Wilson: he Inspired the creation of a Commerce Court to protect the rail roada, and caused the passage of a corporation tax law to turn aside an Income tax bill. ' Republlraa Party "Dared." "I.et the Republican party nominate Roosevelt If they dare." continued Mr. Dill. "Not in the heat of June, when excitement may cloud men's Judgment, but in tho cool of November will the voters recall, not only his betrayal of Taft and his treachery to La Kollette, but his unsolicited pledge to the American people In 1807, when he said that he would not b a candidate for or receive another nomination. The effect of cowboy praises and vaudeville methods then will vanish like mists be fore the sun." After making Carl D. Kshelman, of Tacoma. temporary secretary and nam ing committees on credentials, rules and order of business and platform, the convention took a recesa until 7 P. M. The credentials committee hearing out the Adams and King County contest were taken up Immediately, both coun ties being deprived of committee mem berships of any kind and both the in terested factions being given all the time they needed for their arguments.

PAPERS' SIZE INCREASED Police Activities In Making Many Arrests Put Damper on Vio lence So Prevalent Early in Morning;. CHICAGO, April 6. (Special.) Newspaper publishers secured a firmer gnr on the strike situation today. Ac tivities of tne police put a damper upon rowdyism in the streets and on the streetcars, where squads of "sympa thizers" have been riding to Intimidate any passenger caught reading a paper. The atreetcar officials warned all em ployes that summary discharge would be the penalty for permitting hoodlums to dominate their cars. There was some disappointment expressed by the strik ing pressmen, stereotypers and wagon drivers when they learned that the com. positors would not Join the strike. With the compositors continuing at work the publishers say the situation Is amen able to solution and the police tonight said the force of the strike was al ready broken. Police Confiscate -etrs Staada. Another step tending toward peace was the confiscation by the police of all news stands not licensed. Agents of the Socialistic papers had usurped ali the regular corners and news etands and these were surrounded by ' gangs of hoodlums, who made It unplessant for any who did not buy the Socialistic organs. All these corners were cleared by the police and many of the loiterers arrested. There waa considerable violence early In the day and many persons, chiefly wtfroen, aged men and small newsboys, were beaten, but numerous arrests caused a suspense of disorder. Public Buys Papers. The afternoon papers Issued four and six sheets in the early editions, but Increased these to 1! pages for the later editions. The public bought pa pers freely. One man who had attacked the circulation manager of one paper was beaten Into Insensibility by citi zens who witnessed the attack. The morning papers will Issue the regular 16-page sheets with advertise ments. The publishers say they have plenty of men for the work In hand and hundreds more in abeyance for any emergency that may arise. TAFT craeEslEViioii SIX DELEGATES PLEDGED TO VOTE FOR PRESIDENT.

In view of these questions, take the opportunity of repudiating emphatically the reflection on Mr. Bryco which Is contained la them. Mr. Bryce had nothing to do with the v'ew s or policy of the Canadian government. The negotiations were initiated and carried on by Canada, and .the British Ambassador. In pursuance of his plain duty, saw William S. Fielding, then Finance Minister of Canada, from time to time during the conferences at Washington. In order to learn anything that might be, needful for him to know. "He did not interfere with the con ferences, but if asked for advice, gave it, and all British subjects engaged in legitimate and Important business are entitled to receive that from a British Ambassador. Canada Flada Inspiration. "The manner in which Mr. Bryce has performed his duties has been of grest advantage, inspiring Canada with con fidence in the British Ambassador at Washington, who always will be pre pared to support the present Canadian government no less than Its prede cessors In any negotiations it may be engaged in with the United States." Henr' Page Croft declared that he was not satisfied with the Premier's statement, and gave notice of his in tention to bring up the subject again.
