I' V WANT CONVENTION THAT WILL BE THE SIGNAL FOR PARTY HARMONY) I S OU BRYAN KEYNOTE fDeslre Every Delegate Shall Start Home After Nom inations Feeling Good. I cure I tion. By John Nevins. (Staff Correspondence United Press.) Denver, Col, July 4. A. Democratio convention that will be harmonious In every respect, that will not adjourn without delegates taking homeward bit ter feelings to be carried to the No vember balloting, and with all hand working for success, is. what the Bryan followers here proclaim In reference to the twenty-second quadrennial gather ing of the party which will meet next Tuesday. Gray of Delaware is generally con sidered to be out of the running for first idace, although his supporters still say Ids name will go before the conven tion. Former Congressman Handy, who has been selected to sound the Dela warean's praises, will be here tomorrow. He has his speech finished, and it Is up to the Gray managers to say whether or not It will- be given. The Bryantteo are urging them to call Handy off, and they profess hopes that something tan gible in this direction will be accom plished by Monday. Bryan Would Pacify Johnson. The Johnson proposition is the hard- one, to carry tnsir point ana se ttle naming of Bryan by acclama the followers of the latter are will ing to go to almost any extent. It was It-ported tonight thai a proposition had lM-en mnae to jonnso.i mat in uie evcei his sunnorters do not further antagon izo Bpyun he can have nny position In the gift or the NenpsKan, even in me cabinet, provided the Commoner is elected. Success for the harmony program was not DOSslble until the New York Democracy made its appearance and sur rendered body, boots and breeches to the -Boy Orator of the Platte." Two minutes after Mayor Ijahlman of Omaha, Bryan's advance agent, closed his conference with Murphy of Tarn many Hall today, ho got into communi cation with Lincoln; Neither he nor the Tammany chieftain would discuss what passed between them, but the sat isfied face of the "cowboy mayor" showed that ne nad no aouot as to now New York's vote would be recorded. Murphy, In discussing the situation for publication tonight, stated that he had nothing new to say regarding New lorKs position. "The members of the New Tork dele fatlon will caucus Monday night," he eclared, "and It will be up to them to Bay what they want. y Banning Mate for Bryan. As a matter of fact, however. Mon- day's caucus is for the purpose of dis cussing the vice-presidential situation. There are two New Yorkers that want to get upon the ticket with Brvan, They are Martin W. Littleton, vhHa one of the real orators of the party, and Su preme Court Justice: William J. Gny rior of Brooklyn. Gaynor is a radical reformer and very strong, In the east, while Littleton, who originally hailed from Tennessee, Is n experienced cam pa ifcger.

One boom was nipped In the bud to day. It was that of John W. Kern of Indiana. He had announced that he would not be an active candidate, but was willing to take his place. His own State put him out of the running. Mem bers of the Indiana delegation now here held an informal conference to talk thing's over. When the Kern boom was mentioned. Lamb, delegate-at-Iarge from Terre Haute, declared he thought It In bad taste for the Indlanans to have any candidate. It was finally decided that the "time was hardly propitious" for booming anyone for the second place upon the ticket, and the meeting ad journed without adoptingthe resolu tions of praise and support which Kern and his friends had deemed themselves entitled to. Hitchell for Second Flaoe. dLTohn Mitchell, former head of the United Mineworkers of America, is ap parently the crux of the situation, so r.-ir as serona piace is concerned, to night.

For nearly a month I have traveled from Washington, D. C, through New Tork, Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska, until here at Lincoln I stop to sum up the result of my observations. Everywhere Bryan sentiment has strengthened. Mer chants have confidence in him and bank ers have lost what fear they had in 1896 and 1900. The farmers remain, as then, loyal to him; laborers regard him as a sincere rrlend. it is lmpossiDie not to receive from time to time lm nresslons that the American newspaper Sresa has not been wholly true to its uty. but has covered up the truth re garding the wave of sentiment which is sweeping over the country. Yet Bryan spent no money hiring managers, main tained no subsidized organization in any city other than his personal staff in the office of the Commoner here, who are legitimate newspaper men like others. Charles f. Tart expended m ante- convention expenses an immense sum, estimated at $300,000 to 360,O0. Those who know the Inside of Bryan's cam paign methods know he employed no men to round up delegstes, and that is the most striking feature of the mar velous ovation that is being paid the Nebraska man these days. Those here tonight eo to Denver, jonly to have their places f"illed by other thousands who will come to par their respects ss those today came to fill the places of other thousands who wsre here yesterday and the day before. Reactionaries' t Forlorn Hop. Reactionaries pass through without stopping, making baseless claims of sur- & rises to oe wnen me onnoiing oegins. ut all others know, and the reaction aries privately admit, that there is noth ing to it but Mrvan on the first ballot. Their claims are merely to withhold what force the reactionaries may, to rnmnwl th tonlno- down of the nlatform. to procure if possible a discrediting of those forward policies now referred to as "Roosevelt-Bryan-ui loiiette-uum mlns destruction.

Denver this after noon and tonight has begun to put on a real convention look. The lobby of the Brown Palace hotel, which Is the center of convention activity when no services are In progress, is becoming crowded, little knots of delegates gather and talk, while real high national con ferences by the real leaders of the party are almost constantly in prog ress. There is as yet little real news and i-no great amount of enthusiasm. This will come tomorrow and -Monday, when the delegates will begin to come In,, In force. Among the delegations scheduled to arrive tomorrow will be Alabama. Flor ida, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Iowa, Minnesota, Kentucky, . Kansas, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Wisconsin, west Virginia and Texas. Besides a score or more of Democratio clubs will come In on special trains or in special cars. The rest of the delegations will be here Monday and then Denver will begin to feel the presence of the great est crowd which she has ever enter tained. Denver, by the way, is sparing noth ing to make her guests comfortable. Up to this time at least there has been little disposition to gouge. Bryan In Lead. Unless all signs fail, it will be Bryan on the first ballot out with votes to spare. His brother, who arrived today, places bis votes at Hita on the first bal- ... The jonnson and uray ooomers still profess to have hopes of success, but thev ere about aa superstitious as a darky crossing a graveyard at mid night. So fur as the spirit of the con vention la -now represented in Denver, it is Bryan first and tha rest nowhere, not only In the matter of the presi dency, but in pretty muoh everything else. One of the most remarkable features of the situation today Is the number of men spoken of In connection with the vlce-preslsientlaJ situation. Up to last accounts the number was between 60 and 60 with every arriving delega tion adding to the list. There Is an undercurrent that with Brvan tho presidential nominee the east should get the second place, and there Is no concealment of the fact that there are plenty of men in the east who are oerfectlv willing to respond to their party's call. Judge Gray is the man most talked of for the vtce-Dresl- dency and the best opinion Is that if he will accent ne can nave mo piacn. Justice William F. Onynor's name is also freour-ntlv mentioned. With New York supporting Brvan and Gaynor there is no improbability in the belief that the Now lorlc Jurist might be the man. KoM Aotlve Boom. The mo.st active boom Is that for Alexander MacNell of Connecticut. His friends are confident he has a show. Other men who are prominently men tioned are John Mitchell and J. W Kern There Is little likelihood that any real fight will be mail in the mat ter of selecting a vice-president until the middle of next week. The selection of Governor Haskell or Oklahoma as the head of the platform committee Is taken t,o mean that Mr. Bryan's views will be fully met In the framing of the declaration of principles for the convention. .

Six per sons were killed outright and over 80 others were maimed and se riously Injured when narrow-gauge lo cal No. 2034 crashed Into Santa Cruz train NO, 67 at First and Webster streets. Oakland, tonight. Responsibility for the accident Is laid to B. J. Barry, engineer of the Santa Cruz train, who is charged by officers of the Southern Pacific railroad with disobeying tower signals that were dis played to bring his engine to a stand still before it reached the Webster street crossing. Local No. 2034 had left the narrow gauge moie at 7:10 and was on Its way to the Oakland station at Fourteenth and Franklin streets when the collis ion occurred. William Mark, the engineer, saw ?reen lights displayed from the signal ower at Morrison street, after pass ing the Webster street bridge and was going ahead at 11 miles an hour when he crashed Into the Santa Cruz train. According to C. A. McCurdy, who , was In charge of the Harrison street 1 tower, red light had been flashed, to' halt the Santa Cruz train before it came to the Webster street crossing on its way to the Oakland mole. v Ignores Sigrials. ' McCurry was startled- to find that- 1 the Santa Crux train had taken no notice of signals. Glancing out of the tower in the darkness he saw the train, speeding ahead at 60 miles an hour. Running across Its path past the green . lights at the Webster street draw-, : bridge he could see the narrow gauge,, local making for the crossing and real--lzed tjiat a colllsslon was Imminent. McCurdy tried to avert the collision, by opening a switch from the signal tower that would derail tho Santa Cnia' train. The train ran into the switch." but It was going too fast to escape the.,' on-rushlng local. Crashed Into Coach. - - ... f Tho tender of the locomotive of the narrow gauge local, which was running; reversed in front of five coaches. , crashed directly in the middle of tho. smoker of the Santa Cruz train. The lo- comotlve and baggage car of the Santa', Cruz train which was made up of six coaches, had just passed tbe crossing when the crash came. The smoker f the Santa Cruz train received the full ' force of the Impact and was shunted In a splintered mass of wreckage twenty", yards away from the track. The loco- v motive, baggage car and the remaining coaches were derailed biit escaped wltU" " superficial damage. ! Part of the wreckage of the smoker' was tossed on top of the locomotive of the narrow gauge local, where it ploughed its way clear through the car before flinging the splintered mass clear of the track and coming to a standstill. Mark, engineer of the local, stayed by his throttle after the crash came, ;.. and saw two bodies of t men who had -been in the smoker flung on top of his. tender. , ..,, The Santa Cruz smoker was crowded with men oh their way to San Fran cisco when the collision occurred. Tho wreck of . the smoker was so decisive that nearly every person inside was In jured. ' Bodies Mangled. Tho six persons killed outright were , in this coach, an.1 the bodies of nrarlr' all of them were mangled almost be-' -yond recognition. The work of extracting the rfenri an Injured from the smoker was still under way at midnight and the nature of the , wreck was such that the police were uncertain at that hour If the extent of the casualties was definitely ascer-, talned. There were six bodies at the morgue at midnlarht anrl tha nnlloa h,rf reports of over a score of persons who. naa Deen treated for Injuries at the hospitals. ' With the exception of C T. Fef'fis. the fireman of the. Alameda local, none of the. train crews were injured.- Ferris v" broke his ankle in leaping from the platform that extends along the engine. C. A.
