ins Race to Hospital. I
George Ruokonen, 3, son of tvtr. and
Mrs. S. W. Ruokonen. 1176 Altrtna ave
nue, was fatally Injured on the Co
lumbia River highway near the Vista
house early last night when he was
struck by a touring car driven by A.
TL French, 410 Morrison street. The
child died in his mother's arms on the
way to Portland.
The accident happened as the Ruo
konen party, which had stopped for
a picnic by the roadside, was prepar
ing to return to the city. The child,
who was on the side of the road op
posite his father's automobile, started
to cross the highway. Just then two
automobiles were passing. The child
dodged one, but the other struck him
and knocked him to the pavement.
The parents bundled the child into
their machine and speeded to Port
land, but he died before they arrived
at the Emanuel hospital. Coroner
Smith took charge of the body.
Deputy sheriffs took French to the
county Jail, where he made a report
of the accident. No charge had been
filed against him at a late hour.
French was driving an automobile
owned by Ed Tonkin, of the Altoona
apartments, Twenty-first and OvertoD
streets.
Opposing Forces United
in Antagonism.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 4. The
day of rest brought to the demo
tratic national convention no release
from its 22-ballot deadlock and no
promise of relief tomorrow.
Fruitless search for a dark horse
who could win left the tired, mud
lied and even exasperated forces
vith nothing more tangible than the
likelihood of a straight-out fight be
tween Cox and McAdoo and growing
hopes that a Moses would spring up
from somewhere to lead them out of
their wilderness.
All ears were cocked toward the
White House for the magic word.
For the first time in 24 years a
democratic convention was working
without the guiding hand of Bryan
and for the first time it. seven years
without the word of Wilson.
Guessing Is Spirited.
There was spirited guessing, de
duction and attempted conclusion at
what President Wilson might wish,
hope, or acqniesce in, but apparently
nothing more.
"The president has not communi
cated with me regarding candidates,"
said Mr. Glass. "A report that, in
recent conversations, he had indi
cated men whom he opposed is not
true. As the situation looks to me
tonight each crowd thinks .its candi
date can win and until someone is
convinced otherwise the deadlock will
continue."
. The Cox people outwardly expect
to win tomorrow. The McAdoo peo
ple having checked their downward
slide, girded up for a new drive to
break the Cox column tomorrow. The
Palmer people declaring that neither
Cox nor MAcdoo can have their
votes, expressed hope for themselves
but only indifferently.
All Have Strangle Holds.
Each of the three appears to have
a strangle hold on the other two.
McAdoo forces in the late Saturday
night balloting recovered the one-
third veto power they had lost. Cox
forces kept theirs steadily from the
time they acquired it in the fifth
ballot, although their margin flue
tuated. Palmer forces possessed it
in fact, through state delegations
which, although held in a block foT
McAdoo or Cox by the unit rule, con
tained discordant elements which,
when released, would become effea
tive in adding to the deadlock.
The growing impatience of the
delegates, which repeated casting of
solid blocks for candidates who
showed no promise of becoming dark
horses, is expected to show itself
tomorrow.
Late Saturday night there was
evidence of temper against the
adamant view of those who Would
not release their votes. The politics
of their apparent stubbornness was
that they lost continually by aban
doning the unit rule. Their position
was greeted Saturday night with
shouts of "come out of it" and "hire
a hall" and the like.
Cox Force Aims at McAdoo.
McAdoo forces tonight were bank
ing on the proposition that the Cox
forces, if they hope to win must trot
out every reserve vote they possess
when the balloting resumes tomor
row at 10 o'clock if they hope for a
slide their way. The Cox people,
confident that they have McAdoo
stopped, despite his last ballot rally,
planned to continue their efforts to
wear him out. The McAdoo people
declaring that the whole week's el
fort had been to wear him out argued
that it had been a failure.

BRITISH BEGIN DEBT DRIVE
People Urged to Buy Certificates to
Pay U .S. Loan Interest.
(Copyright by the New Tork World. Pub
usned ty Arrangement.)
LONDON. July 4. (Special Cable.)
English newspapers are printing
government advertisements urging
the people to buy as many caving
certificates as possible in the next
three months to help the government
pay the American debt.
"Every penny invested in certifi
cates during the next three months
will be used to pay off our American
debt: investors will have the satis
faction of knowing their money is
being applied immediately to a pur
pose of the utmost national useful
ness," the advertisement says.
It points out that such an Invest
ment will assist in rectifying the ad
verse American exchange, strengthen
British credit, allow England to pay
the debt now when British pounds do
not represent as much value as they
will later, and will be transferring
the debt from America -to England
and; keep the interest thereafter In
England.

22 Ballots Fail to Change Attitude
of Indifference.
HUNTINGTON. N. T., July 4. Not
even the 22 ballots of the deadlocked
democratic national convention could
break the silence William O. McAdoo
hab steadfastly maintained on politi
cal events. His seemingly indifferent
attitude towards the stirring conven
tion incidents was unchanged.
Mr. McAdoo went to bed at 11:45
ast night. He got up after 9 this
mcrning and for the first time ap
parently evinced a little interest by
shouting to Oscar A. Price, his at
torney and confidential adviser, in an
other part of the house:
"What's the news?"
Price sent to the village for the
morning newspapers, and after Mr.
McAdoo had read them he went to
church with Mrs. McAdoo and his
daughter, Mrs. Nona Mohrenschildt.

Oregonian).
SAN FRANCISCO, July .4. (Spe
cial.) "It is Governor Cox or an out
sider," one of the national leaders
of the democratic party confided to
me as his opinion at noon today as
he emerged from a conference, at
tended by one of the presidential can
didates and three or four other demo
crats conspicuous in, this convention
I By an outsider he meant one of the
minor aspirants.
This was contrary to what I had
been hearine for two hours in the
lobbies of the Palace hotel, where can
didates' managers, aides, delegates
and newspaper men were mingling.
In the lobbies it was confidently as
serted that there could be no logical
outcome, but a McAdoo and Cox ticket
as the only way of breaking the dead
lock.
I was not impressed, however, with
the lobby verdict because it was soon
evident that it was the sum of con
versation among individuals who had
been assiduously interviewing each
other. The democratic chieftain, fresh
from an important conference, scouted
the McAdoo suggestion and then he
told why.
All Other Forces Antagonized.
He said that the McAdoo leader
had antagonized all other forces in
the convention by their autocratic use
of a federal machiu and by their mis
representations. With reference to the
employment of federal office-holders
in trying to nominate McAdoo, he
quoted anonymously a statement made
yesterday around the convention audi
torium that if an earthquake were
suddenly to destroy the Palace hotel
the United States treasury would have
to close until a new executive force
could be enlisted and trained to handle
Uncle Sam's financial system.
By this it was meant to say that
about all of the important bureau
chiefs of the treasury are here bring
ing pressure on delegates to nominate
McA.doo. He then displayed a long list
of federal employes, many of them
connected with the treasury, who are
on the ground engineering the Mc
Adoo boom.
He appeared to voice the resent-

COLFAX. Wash.. July 4. (Special.)
The fire that originated Saturday
night in the electric cleaner of the
Colfax flour mills, owned .by Mark
Miller of Moscow, Idaho, caused a loss
estimated to be $200,000. The mill.
three residences and a feed mill were
completely burned.
Equipment costing over $75,000 had
been placed in the mill last year. One
car of flour on the siding was burned
besides 10,000 bushels of wheat and
much flour in the mill.
The mill and contents were insured.
One of the residences burned was
owned by Fred Held, wire chief for
the Pacific Phone company. He es
caped with his children, only caving
the clothes they could get on. Mr.
Held was slightly burned. There was
no insurance on the house.
Rudolph Binkey and family were
away from home when their residence
and contents burned. There was some
nsurance on the house.
Mr. Mustard and his son and Joe
Smith, a carpenter, all of whom were
helping fight fire, were burned, the
two former slightly and the latter
severely. Several firemen were slight
ly burned and many overcome by
smoke.
The Colfax fire department was
handicapped by lack of fire equip
ment.
The mill, which was six stories
high, made a spectacular fire. A
heavy wind aided the flames.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.. July 4
(Special.) Oregon and Idaho are
rcp.dy to stand out for William Gibbs
McAdoo for another week if neces
sary, it was learned today from some
of the leaders. Washington's delega
tion on the other hand, while com
poted mostly of McAdoo supporters,
i3 ready to go into any get-together
plan that will bring about the nomi
nation of a satisfactory Candidate.
The majority of the Washington
delegation, it is believed, would be
willing to go to Governor Cox if he
appeared the most likely candidate
This is not because the Washington
delegation is wet and Cox is a known
wet, but because the Ohio governor
has impressed the most of the Wash
ington contingent as the strongest
candidate.
Two Delegations Agrainsf Cox.
The Oregon and Idaho delegations
are both, to begin with, ardent sup
porters of McAdoo and less inclined
to support Cox than almost any other
of the candidates, except possibly
Edwards of Newi Jersey. Both of
these delegations think it would be
a serious mistake to take chances
with a candidate who is open to the
charge of being against prohib'tion.
There was a very noticeable de
pression in the Oregon delegation last
night when Cox was making his
steady gains, and it is doubtful if the
delegation would have gone to him
even as a winner to help make the
vote unanimous. In the Washington
delegation are three or four delegates
who either know John W. Davis of
West Virginia, personally, or know a
great deal about him. It will, there
fore, be easy for him to draw support
from Washington if he develops such
strength as to look like the conven
tion's best chance of compromise.
Oregon Complains of Da v Ls.
Oregon delegates complain that
Davis is not well enough known west
of the Mississippi river to be at all
popular in the west.
The Idaho. Oregon and Wash
ington delegations will be able
truthfully to boast of their splendid
deportment here when they return to
the'ir wives, husbands or constituents.
While almost all of the states have
engaged in some kind of a rough and
tumble row on the floor, the north
west delegations have remained in
their seats and maintained peaceful
relations with each other and with
outside delegates.
A light clash occurred in the Wash
ington delegation last night over put
ting the state's standard into one of
the demonstrations in which Martin
J. Maloney of Colfax, Clarence D.
Martin of Cheney, J. D. McCalum and
ono or two other delegates engaged,
but it turned out to be a playful af
fair after some concern had been
manifested by those not participat
ing. The Washington banner was some
what torn and tattered, but remained
aloft during the final balloting.
Proxies Are Approved.
In a conference of the Washington
delegation late this afternoon, the
proxies of live delegates who Had
departed for home were approved. The
departed delegates are: W. A. Mosier,
Tekoa; J. M. Tadlock. Olympia; J. H.
Roberts. Centralia: P. R. Turner.
Bremerton and R. L. Proctor. Seattle.
Their proxies will be voted in the
convention tomorrow by Captain Mc-
Kevltt, Spokane; Mrs. Elizabeth Chris
tian, Spokane; Charles v. Fullen, fae
attle; Hugh Todd, Seattle, and George
F. Christensen, Stevenson.
An effort was made to get together
on a united scheme of voting, but
long debate ended in no agreement.
LONDON. July 4. Three-fourths of
a battalion of Irish Connaught rang
ers stationed at Jullunder, in the Pun
jab, India, mutined following the ar
rival of news of recent events in Ire
land, according to a dispatch from
Simla under date of July 2 to Reuter's,
Limited.
Upon receiptof the same news at
Solan, in the Simla hills, another de
tachment is reported to have at
tempted to seize arms and ammuni
tion, the dispatch says, adding that
guards killed two men and wounded
one.
The dispatch says that when the
last mail reached the troops they be
came greatly excited and the decision
to lay down their arms soon was
reached, one-fourth of the men re
maining loyal to the colonel.' The
troops expressed regret that they were
unable to serve any longer and gave
up their arms and ammunition. Al
though remaining entirely respectful
to their officers, the men expressed
their sympathies with their friends in
Ireland. .

ine uauy .es, in an editorial on
the democratic convention at San
Francisco, says: "Writers on this
side of the Atlantic may naturally
be accused of prejudice in favor of
one particular candidate. It is there
fore well, to say no more of the
claims of the American ambassador
(John W. Davis) than this: That in
the two years he has been accredited
to the court of St. James he has
given evidence of an elevation of
temper, sanity of judgment and
power of inspiring respect, both for
himself and for the great nation he
represents, which assures him a high
place even in that notable list of dis
tinguished men who hare during the
past century and a quarter filled the
office he occupies today."
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., July 4
W'illiam Jennings Bryan said tonight
that he considered it expedient for
the convention to go outside of th
list of candidates already before it
for a nominee. He said he would

The United States geological survey

survey of the oil prospects in Idaho.
This information has been received
by Governor Davis. Considerable
boring for oil is in progress in this
state. Noted geologists have declared
that the formations here are typical

Oil borings are being made at Pay

"Sixteen years ago. at St. Louis, 1
seconded the nomination of Senator
Cockrell of Missouri. My theory is
that the people are much more inter
ested in the platform a man stands
on than in the section in which he
lives."
In connection with his list of pos
sible candidates, Mr. Bryan mentioned
Justice Brandeis of the supreme court.
"While I believe in the llth-hour
entry into the vineyard. provided
a man proves himself to be a convert
to progressiveness," said Mr. Bryan.
"I think the credentials of such an
aspirant ought to be examined care
fully whether he comes into the party
or into the field reform."
Vlivitorai Received 4:ontanfly.
Mr. Bryan today was receiving vis
itors constantly, many of whom urged
him to engage actively in the presi
dential contest. Ho reiterated to all,
however, that he was making no ef
fort to organize a fight for or against
anyone.
"I don't object to telling tho good
points, whether 14 or less, of any
candidate," said Mr. Bryan, "but I
refuse to share the responsibility for
a man whom I consider unavailable.
When a delegate rushed to me with
a warning that if I didn't help nomi
nate Mr. So and So, Mr. Blank would
be nominated, I said 'I do not think
it wise to do wrong simply because
somebody else may do so.' I am
not responsible for anything except
my vote or influence and that will
not be used for anyone, who, in my
judgment would be less than the most
available man I know among those
who are candidates."
Mr. Bryan repeated his objections to
Governor Cx and William G. McAdoo.
Cox Is Too Wet.
My principal objection to Governor
Cox," he said, " is that he is wet, and
think we have passed the time for
the nomination of a wet candidate, es
pecially since the convention voted
against a wet plank by more than a
two-thirds majority.
I also have expressed myself as to
the availability of Mr. McAdoo, giv
ing as my principal objection his re
lationship to the president. I still
hold to the opinion because I think it
would divert attention from any such
merit as he has."
