Firth Regiment Armory, Baltimore, Mil,, July 1. Woodrow WIIboii, gover nor of New Jersey, took the lead from his chief opponent, Speaker Champ Clark, on the 30th ballot for th peresl dentlurnomlnatlon, taken by the Dem ocratic national convention this after noon, Wilson had started the day on 407 votes on the 27th ballot, as against 463 for the Bpeaker. He gained slowly h"t Bteadlly, however, and on the 30th ballot went past the Bpeaker. Iowa split on this ballot, 14 dele gates voting for Wilson, against 12 for Clark, and Congressman Henry D. Clayton, of Alabama, acting chairman, ruled that the unit rule had been broken and that the vote should be re corded as cast. The vote on the 30th ballot showed Wilson 4(i0 against Clark's 455. The announcement that they had at last secured the highest vote, caused the Wilson supporters to start an uproar ous demonstration,' and then the lead era redoubled their efforts to get Illi nois Into line for Wilson. They boast ed that if they could get Roger Sulli van and his men lined up, they could stampede the convention for the New Jersey executive, About the only real live thing of the day was a roast for Bryan, made In defending New York.

STORY OF THE DAY BY BALLOTS ROAST OF LIVE FEATURE of Clark on It, and Stir Nebras fluence, I desire to say to him there Is no man In the number who is under the Influence of the men he has named. "When he makes the statement that these men, Morgan Ryan and Bel mont, are dominating, he omits one man. And of all the delegates on the floor, omitting Mr. Ryan and Mr. Bel mont, the most rich and powerful Is the gentleman from Nebraska. "And If we are trying to clear our skirts here the convention should ex pel from the floor of this convention the man who for pay has been writing from the Republican convention at Chicago in favor of his (Bryan's) al ly, Colonel Roosevelt. "Colonel Bryan has never Intended to vote for the candidate of this con vention, unless he was Bryan himself. "'Bryan has supported Wilson In some places and Clark in others all the time, Intending to produce In this convention a deadlock, from which he could reap the harvests. When New York came here we were voting under the unit rule. A majority supported Governor Harmon, and we supported him until we came to the conclusion that Speaker Clark was the strongest candidate before this convention. ''New York Is today In favor of any Democrat who can be the friend of the party and win. "With this explanation, I want to say my personal vote is cast for Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey." This caused a sensntion, as Stanch- field was expected to vote for Clark Bryan Bat quietly In his seat through out, chatting with Mark Sullivan, and occasionally smiling at Stanchfleld's attack. He made no reply. The poll of the New York delcga tlon was 78 for Clark, 9 for Wilson, 2 for Underwood and 1 absent. A Pemocrotlc Love Feimt. Just after the 33rd ballot was completed the Missouri delegation suddenly unfolded a flaring oilcloth sign on which was the following in bright letters: "I have known Champ Clark 18 years. He Ib absolutely Incorrupti ble. His life In above reproach. Never In all the years have I known him but to be on one side of the ques tion and that the side that rnpresent ed the people. (Signed) "WILLIAM J. BRYAN." After holding the banner where It was a minute or two, Dave Francis yelled: "Take It to Nebraska." The banner was carried over to where Bryan wbh sitting In his seat. The MlflHouilan yelled at him, "Here Is what you Bald. Now, what are you going to do about It." Bryan, livid with rage, Jumped up nnd rushed to the stage, where he demanded of the acting chairman, John E. I-amb, of Indiana, whether he was to be subjected to Insult. Bryan demanded the right to an swer what he termed a gratuitous Irpult- I.nmb refused to let Bryan talk and he came down, demanding that Jnmes be sent for. Police got on either side of Bryan as he stepped before the Missouri delegation. The Nebrnskan's face was bright red and as he called for Pnvld R. Francis or the chairman of tho MlKfiourlans' delegation, a do.i-n lists were Bhnken In his face, and members of the Missouri delegations leaning over nnd tauntingly yelled: "Clark, Clark."

Two fires rturted. but the br'gnde go! a atream working and tipptwed to have the situation under contiol. At Klevencn street the husiiiesa district, composed of wholesale ware houses, bankltiij institutions and re tall stores, was made a heap of ruins, while, the air was lflled with flying wreckage. Past Eleventh street, Al bert, Smith, Cromwell, Searth, Ham ilton and Rose streotB, the storm reached the retail section, which re ceived the severest force. Then the Canadian Pacific tracks were reached. Six big grain elevators toppled over, the timbers being piled on the tracks. Across the railway tracks several of the largest wholesale houses In the city were unroofed, their heavily lad en floor falling as their support were loosened. All electric light and power wires were useless and the city waa In dark ness all night. All conveyances were pressed Into service to convey the dead to the morgues and the Injured to the hospitals.

Warehouses loft standing by the storm, freight sheds nnd St. Punt's church were filled with refugees. Rich and poor alike are being shel tered in the school houses and other buildings. Many of the homes In the north side, which were wrecked, wore those of the wealthiest people in the prov ince. A path about two blocks wide through the wholesale and retail busl nens districts was cleared of buildings Mounted constables, who galloped In to the city early today from the bar racks, took charge of the situation, at the request of the city authorities, As sisted by tho mounted pollco and 100 special constables, they took up the work of patrolling tho streets, nnd di recting tho work of rescue. Bodies are Btill being uncovered In the ruins, and the list of Injured lias grown until It now Includes 300 per sons. Dend wagons are still being driven to nnd from the morgues, nnd many grlnf-Blrlcken people are digging about the ruins of buildings hunting for relatives and friends. Tho storm played freakish tricks on some of the houses, tearing out one side of many buildings, leaving the In terior undisturbed. Many of the bouses were twisted so that they have to be torn down. In the district of the best residences about 400 houses were demolished. Among these the cries of glrla and women caught In the wrcek age urged the volunteer workers to Increased efforts In the work of res cue.
