KINGS JOIN INTERESTS Three Hundred Million .Dol lar Concern Organized at St. Louis. By John E. Nevins. (Staff Correspondent of United Press.) Auditorium, Denver, Ool., July 9. The "Democratic pile driver." as the friends of Colonel James M. Guf fey and Patrick H. McCarren have named the Bryan machine here, was working very smoothly today. Its managers, Ollie James, Jim Dahl- inan and Temporary Chairman Bell, examined the several ropes and fix tures prior to setting today's con vention In motion and declared them all right. Despite the Intense heat outside and the general belief that It would be sev eral hours, and possibly not until to morrow, before nominations could be reached, the crowd piled Into the build ing, filling every seat and standing in the topmost galleries". Woman. In Crowd. Bright-faced, well -dressed women, clad for the most part In soft, clinging white materials, made tip the bulk of the crowd. And they were decidedly enthusiastic, applauding Indiscriminate ly the band as It discoursed first north ern and then southern airs. There was no sectionalism In this crowd; rather. It was a real "new west," cosmopoli tan assemblage that had but the kind liest feelings for all. The open Wig proceedings were con siderably dulayod and it was long after 11 o'clock, when Chairman Bell hogan his regular ltf-mlnute struggle to re More order. Chairman Bell called the convention to order at 1:150 o'clock. Rabhl Em manuel Koch of Seattle, Wash., offered the opening prayer; in part as follows: Rabbi Koch Prayer. "Great God, weakness Is arrogant, but strength Is modest. And so we who are assembled here in the Interest of Democracy, once again begin our ses sions In prayer to thee. A glorious past confers no present moral lien on future greatness. In every present moment a nation must vindicate its right U live.

Denver, Col., July 9. The morn ing session opened dull and its as pect was spiritless. Reporters heard with listless Interest the eulogy of former Chairman James K. Jones of rkansas and the younger men asked when he was chairman, while the older men began framing up some sort of a story that would do for the day's work In lieu ofany news. A motion to adjourn by Ollle James, recognized as Bryan's floor leader, Indicated that Bryan desired to postpone the convention's real work until a night session, but the galleries being restless and anxious for excitement voted no; and the delegates voted no and after some doubt and another vote Chairman Bell decided good naturedly that the crowd have Its way. So he called for Congressman Towne, who was absent, and the crowd called for Gore and for Folk, and after trying to find Senator Bods Taylor, the chair man sent for Senator Gore of Okla homa. Senator Gore Appears. Senator Gore Is blind, so there was an unusual Interest In him. He felt his way about the platform, and let his hands run over the desk before. him, and he talked. He was a new man; he seemed to be an enthusias tic man. But to the crowd he was a time filler. No one paid any un usual heed to his words, no one was expecting anything of Import ance from him. He talked about the Oklahoma constitution and said, "the great war chief came to Okla homa and asked us to do what no Anglo-Saxon community ever has done reject a chance to obtain self government. Then the greatest liv ing exponent of human freedom came to us and told us to adopt our constitution, and by a majority of 100,000 votes" here Gore waved his hands dramatically we re jected the advice of Taft and took the advlro of Bryan." That was all. He started to again lift his hands for silence, but the cheer swept over tho crowd. Again he tried to speak, but the blaze of applause was crackling in tho fur thermost corners of the room In an Instant, while the blind eyos of Gore were wandering aimlessly over the audience. The crackling blare of ap plause broke into a roar, and the re porters looked at t).e clock and tore up their space filling notes, and l.y mam fci 1 J i' - " LOCAL I ON ICE-TIED 0 E. W.

Colonel Roeaslier'a free- , ommendatlons are generally (taken in -the nature of orders. In his annual report whtcli wfll be. forwarded to the department In Washy lngton in a few days, Colonejl Roessler recommends that the deep-tea dredge Chinook be placed in workinff condi tion and put to work at the! mouth oC the Columbia river. By employing the dredge tin the near future Colonel Roessler biellevea any depth of water desired mayfbe obtained, and that possibly in building the north.
