PLUNGE FROM 1,000 FEET UP Bierlot Monoplane Dips and Throws Both Out--Miss Blanche Stuart <6cott, Also In Air, Sees Tragedy, But Lands 6afely. ' i r . ' Boston, July 3.--The first woman to Win an aviator's license in America •nd the first woman to cross the Eng­ lish channel in an aeroplane. Miss Harriet Quimby, was instantly killed with her passenger, W. A. P. Wiilard, manager of the Boston aviation meet, at Atlantic Monday night, when her Bleriot monoplane fell into Dorches­ ter bay from a height of a thousand feet The accident happened when Miss (Quimby and Wiilard were returning £rom a trip over Boston harbor to {Boston light, a distance of 20 miles jtb all. The flight was made In 20 iaiinutes. The Bleriot, one of tjie la- itest models of military monoplanes, jclrcled the aviation field and soared lout over the Savin Hill Yacht club. Just outside the aviation grounds, j Heading back into the eight mile •gusty wind, Miss Quimby started to hrolplane. The angle was too sharp (and one of the gusts caught the tall lot the monoplane, throwing the ma­ tch in e up perpendicularly. For an instant It poised there. 'Then, sharply outlined against the j«etting sun, Wiilard was thrown clear of the chassis, followed almost Imme­ diately by Miss Quimby. Hurling over and over, the two figures shot downward, striking the water 20 feet from shore. They splashed out of sight a second ibefore the monoplane plunged down I fifteen feet away. It was low tide and the water was tonly five feet deep. Men from the jyacht club in motor boats were on the (•pot quickly and, leaping overboard, idragged the bodies out of the mud jtiito which they had sunk deeply. jDeath probably was instantaneous. Both bodies were badly crushed. Several of Miss Quimby's bones were broken and there were many bruises. Wiilard, who weighed 190 pounds, hit the water face first and over one eye there was a gash from which the blood was flowing. He, too, sustained several fractures and bruises. The clothing of both flyers was torn and the bodies were so covered with mud that it was several minutes before the doctors and nurses could determine tbe full extent of the Injuries. When the victims were brought •shore in motor boats the bodies were laid on the ground on the edge of the | ^vlatlon field. Tbe crowd which had ;been witnessing the flights rushed lover, but a troop of state cavalry held them back while Dr. Qeorge Sheahan, the field surgeon, with his staff and a nurse, made hasty examinations, v In a few moments ambulances ar- 1 'rived and the victims were taken to i the Quincy hospital. Flying high overhead at the time of tbe fall was $flss Blanche Stuart >tt, another aviatri ce/^taki n g part the meet. From her high altitude Miss Scott bad watched Miss Quimby's splendid flight and was near by when the gust Upset the monoplane. In the excite­ ment of the moment no one noticed tbe lone aviatrice, but- when Miss Quimby's body was brought ashore all eyes were directed aloft and Miss Scott was seen making sweeping cir­ cles over the field at a height of •bout 500 feet. , Twice she started to descend, but leach time she was seen to falter. In 'Another moment, summoning all her nerve, she turned tbe nose of her ma* chine downward and landed safely, collapsing in her seat before anyone could reach her.

Baltimore, Md., June 26.--"We meet while the hills yet echo to wild cries of 'liar!' 'thief!* and 'traitorl* and furious wails of 'fraud!' 'bribery!' 'treachery!' and 'corruption!' and our ears are weary with the din of the articulate shrieking and passionate vilification of the most shameful brawl of our political history." Thus spoke Alton B. Parker, tem­ porary chairman of the Democratio national convention Tuesday: "Our candidates, however, are, without exception, men of such lofty mien that we meet immune from the distemper which seized the Chicago convention, and privileged to dis­ charge a solemn public duty calmly, deliberately, seriously," said Mr. Par­ ker. " "The cause of government by the people the world over has been materially checked by the disgraceful brawl which terminated in the bedlam of Chicago. Favors Single Term for President. "The assault upon the unwritten prohibition against a third term made in the wild scramble for the Republi­ can nomination warns us of that vital necessity of incorporating in our Con­ stitution a safeguard against repeated terms. "Would the man who 'threw his hat In the ring' and sought to 'slug his opponent over the ropes' in his fight for a third term rest satisfied with its achievement? Clearly his lust of power would have brooked no such limitation. A third term would but have whetted his desire for more, and as the terms slipped away each re­ newal would discover greater injury to our Constitution, to the form of government established under it and to every legal curb on his Imperious will. This is the man who menaced j us with an increase of federal power by usurpation of states' rights and without authority of constitutional amendment; the man who took the Isthmus of Panama 'and let congress debate about it afterward.' This Is the man who advocated federal incor­ poration for the Increase of power at Washington and the lightening of le­ gal burdens on the corporations; the man who authorized the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company by the steel trust; the man who, by many such drastic acts and by un­ numbered words, has sought to batter down our statutory and constitutional safeguards. Tariff and the Trusts. "In this great country which boasts of a wealth of $130,000,000,000, as against $80,000,000,000 for Great Bri­ tain and Ireland; $65,000,000,000 for France and $60,000,000,000 for Ger­ many, all are conscious that too large a part of our wealth has been secured by a small percentage of our popula­ tion and that the cost of living rises faster than the average income. The principal cause of all this is to be found in the tariff statutes, and in the combinations restraining trade and competition, created for the purpose of wringing from the public every dol­ lar which the tariff statutes make possible. "Whatever of excuse may be of­ fered, the ugly truth Is that the Re­ publican national machine has re­ ceived the moneys of the corporate and Individual beneficiaries of the tar­ iff and combinations and in return has compelled congress to keep high the tariff rates and their attorney gen­ erals to close their eyes to violations of law. "For their crimes against American citizenship the present leaders of the Republican party should be de­ stroyed. Duty of Democratic Party. "What is our duty? To think alike as to men and measures? Impossible! Even for our great party! There Is not a reactionary among us. All Dem­ ocrats are progressives. But it is in­ evitably human that we shall not all agree that in a single highway Is found the only road to progress or each make the same man of all our worthy candidates his first choice. It is possible, however, atd It is our duty, to put aside all selfishness, to consent cheerfully tbat the majority shall speak for each of us, and to march out of this convention shoul­ der to shoulder Intoning the praises of our chosen leader--and tB&t will be his due, whichever of the honora­ ble and able men now claiming our attention be chosen." mm* : iVV-. • i;\v * -s ' > ' ' Three prominent Democrats who attended the National convention at Baltimore.

Baltimore,, Md., July 2.--Having broken all records of modern times in the number of ballots taken in a po­ litical convention for the nomination of a presidential candidate, the Demo­ cratic convention adjourned at mid­ night Monday, after having taken a total of 42 ballots, with no prospect of breaking the deadlock in sight. Wilson is now leading, his strength having gradually increased during the balloting of the afternoon and evening until he reached 501% on the thirty- ninth ballot, he held to this figure on the fortieth and dropped to 494 on the last ballot of the evening. Clark started the day with 469, but had dropped to 447% when recess was taken for supper. At the evening ses­ sion he started off with 432%, dropped to 422 on the thirty-ninth ballot, but picked up two on the last ballot, clos­ ing the evening session with 430. The Underwood and Harmon strength has been holding steadily with but slight fluctuations. Kern has been getting from one to four votes during the balloting of the day and night sessions and Foss has been holding steadily with 28 right along. On the forty-second ballot one vote each was given to James, Lewis, Kern and Gaynor. Bryan got one-half vote. Bitter Attack on Bryan. Monday was a day of excitement in the convention. Bryan was the center of two exciting episodes. The first was when John B. Stanchfleld, a New York delegate, in explaining his vote, made a vicious attack on the Nebras- kan. He characterized Bryan as a po­ litical marplot who was trying to dead­ lock the convention in order that he might get the nomination himself. Stanchfield cast his vote for Wilson. In the second incident Bryan be­ came the storm center of one of the most riotous scenes that has yet been witnessed in the convention. It was precipitated by the Missouri delega­ tion when the thirty-third ballot showed that Wilson was retaining the lead which he had taken on the thirti­ eth ballot. A huge banner inscribed with a quotation from a laudatory trib­ ute to Clark delivered by Bryan some years ago was flaunted in the com­ moner's face. Bryan in a rage ascend­ ed the platform with the intention of making a reply, but was ruled out of order by the chairman. Fight Is Started. A free-for-all fight over the banner started in front of the press stand. Order finally was restored after about ten minutes of wild disorder. Another exciting incident came when Wilson passed Clark on the thir­ tieth ballot. The Wilson men started a demonstration which lasted for sev­ eral minutes. Eight more fruitless ballots were taken at the day session Monday, mak­ ing 34 in all. Clark was slowly losing his strength, while Wilson gradually had been gaining. When the thirtieth ballot was announced it showed Wil­ son in the lead for the first time. HIB vote was 460 and Clark's was 455. Wil­ son continued to gain slightly up to the time the convention took a recess until evening. His vote on the thirty- fourth ballot was 479%, while Clark's was 447%. In Tight Deadlock. After taking twenty-six fruitless ballots, tightly deadlocked and with no prospect of a break in sight, the Democratic national convention ad­ journed at midnight Saturday until ten o'clock Monday morning. Clark and Wilson are still leading. Tbe New Jersey governor has been slowly but steadily gaining, while the speaker has suffered some losses. The monotony of the long, weary hours of balloting was frequently bro­ ken and the convention thrown into wild excitement as changes in the votes of different states seemed to lend encouragement to the friends of this or that candidate and hold out prospects of a victory, only to go glimmering when the totals showed that victory was still far off. Twelv# ballots were taken in a *es- sion beginning at eight o'clock Friday night and extending into the early hours of Saturday morning when the tired delegates took a recess until four o'clock Saturday afternoon. The first ballot gave Clark 440% and Wilson 324. Both candidates showed slight gains as the ballots proceeded Little excitement va^ furnished until the tenth roll call, when New York threw Its entire vote to Clark and boosted his strength to 556, the high­ est vote the speaker has polled in the whole 26 roll calls. It was the signal for a wild demonstration on the part of the Clark forces which continued for over half an hour. In the meantime Wilson had been slowly gaining and on the tenth ballot he bad 350% votes as against the 324 with which he started. From that time on he made more rapid progress and almost every roll call showed ac­ cessions to his ranks. No Hope of Verdict. The ballots Saturday afternoon and evening ran from the thirteenth to the twenty-sixth. Wilson began at 356% and ended at 407%, a net gain during the day of 51 votes. Speaker Clark began at 554% and fell to 463%, a loss of 91 votes. Twenty-six ballots had been taken since the first call of the states, and there was no hope of a final verdict Mr. Bryan at the afternoon session attacked Clark and said he would vote for no man willing to accept nomina­ tion at the hands of Murphy of Tam­ many hall. It was during the four­ teenth roll call that Bryan sprung his sensation when he made a bitter at­ tack on Murphy and Tammany hBlI and changed his vote from Clark to Wilson. Bryan In Fight. With the progressives exultantly cheering and the conservatives angrily jeering him, Bryan sought, and, after much confusion obtained, the privilege of explaining his proposed change of vote. "No, no; vote," yelled the anti-Bryan men. Mr Bryan stood on his chair look­ ing across the hall at the New York delegation, headed by its Tammany boss, Charles F. Murphy. "As long as New York votes," Bryan attempted to begin, holding aloft his palm leaf fan. His voice was drowned by a tidal wave of Jeers from the Clark delegations. "Ij'ree speech, free speech," yelled the Wilson men. "Let Bryan talk." Unanimous Consent Granted. Finally when Senator Stone of Mis­ souri asked unanimous consent It ^as granted. Bryan took the platform and said he wished to explain his vote, be­ cause his advice had not been followed in his delegation. This was greeted with a storm of derisive cries from the Clark men. Asserting tbat he spoke for progressives in the hall and many more outside, the Nebraskan read a statement which he said he had pre- pared for such a crisis. He called attention to his resolution adopted by the convention which there­ by pledged Itself not to nominate a candidate dominated by Ryan, Morgan or Belmont or their allies. He said the only way to make that pledge ef­ fective was to nominate a man not al­ lied with these Interests. Slaps at Murphy. Amid mingled shouts of approval and derision, he asserted that the vote of the New York delegation represents neither intelligence nor patriotism, but only the will of one .man, Charles F. Murphy, and that Murphy represents "the influences tbat dominated the Re­ publican convention at Chicago, and are trying to dominate this conven- tion." When tbe confusion, had been ouelled Bryan then made this flat statement: "Nebraska Will not vote for any man " hose nomination depends on tbe votes of the New York delegation. "Speaking for mygelf and others who think as I do," continued Bryan, "I shall withhold my vote from Mr. Clark as long as New York's vote is recorded for him, and I shall do the same as to any other candidate." Great confusion existed while Bryan was speaking, which broke into a wild demonstration headed by the Wilson men when he had concluded. Wilson Demonstration. The Wilson demonstration tbat scared his opponents more than e -y other one was precipitated in the con­ vention when the Maryland delegation, which had stood solid for Clark from the first, demanded a poll, indicating a possible split This came at the end of the twen­ ty-sixth ballot, and the Wilson people gave vent to their enthusiasm for 15 minutes before the chairman made any effort to check them. The outburst was quelled after 23 minutes of march­ ing and cheering. When Maryland, which had been passed, was reached, the chairman of the delegation announced 16 votes for Clark, but stated that two members of the delegation wished to state a pref­ erence for another candidate. When the roll was called the second delegate, Joshua W. Mills, shouted: "Woodrow Wilson." Then Comes the 'Uproar. Immediately the convention was In an uproar. Mills represented only half a vote, but it was the signal for the Wilson adherents for a demon­ stration. The great bulk of tbe Massachusetts delegation deserted Clark during tbe night and started a Foss boom. It created little excitement. The thirteenth ballot, tbe first of the Saturday session, showed a gain of five for Clark. Wilson gained two and one-half, and Underwood lost sev­ en and one-half. Foss was put on the roll with two votes. Kern received no votes and Bryan was given one. On the fourteenth there was a loss of four for Clark, a gain of 5% for Wil­ son, and a loss of 1% for Underwood. On the fifteenth ballot Montana's eight votes, up to that time cast solid for Clark, split. Six went to Wilson, two standing by Clark. This gave Clark a lose of one, Wil­ son a gain of one and one-half. Under­ wood a loss of one-half. This gave Wilson Just one-sixth of a vote less than one-third of the convention. Progress of the Vote. On the sixteenth vote Clark lost one, Wilson remained unchanged. Under­ wood gained two, Harmon and Mar­ shall remained unchanged. The vote on the seventeenth was almost identical with that on the six­ teenth ballot. It left Clark with a loss of six votes. Wilson, Underwood, Harmon and Mar­ shall unchanged. Kern gained 2% votes. The eighteenth ballot proceeded as far as Tennessee before there was any considerable shift. Twelve and on- half votes were gained by Underwood, 10 votes from Clark and 2% from Wil­ son. The net result was a loss of 10 for Clark, a loss of 1% for Wilson, and a gain of 12% for Underwood. This ballot brought Clark's vote down below the majority which be had gained on the tenth ballot, and which his Managers counted on to help force his nomination. The nineteenth ballot was begun Idaho's Kern vote broke for Bryan, giving him six of the eight votes of the state. Clark received two. The twentieth ballot showed a loss of 20 for Clark, a gain of 30% for Wil­ son, a loss of 8% for Underwood Foss and James were each placed on the roll on this ballot Clark lost four on the twenty-flrat ballot, Wilson gained seven and Un­ derwood lost three. Clark Still Loalng. On the twenty second Clark lost 7%. Wilson gained 1, Underwood loBt 3% and Foss took a place on the roll Harmon's 29 in Ohio were eliminated, 28% going to Clark and one-half a vote going to Wilson. A loss of three for Clark, a gain of three for Wilson and a loss of one-half a vote for Underwood was the net re­ sult of tbe twenty-third roll call. The twenty-fourth gave Clark a loss of 1%, Wilson a gain of 3%, Under­ wood a gain of 1, and Foss a loss of 2 A loss of 27 for Clark, a gain of 2% for Wilson, and a loss of 7% for Un­ derwood was shown on the twenty- fifth. Harmon returned to the poll with his 29 votes in Ohio, which de­ serted Clark. The twenty-sixth showed a loss of 6% for Clark, a gain of 2% for Wil­ son and a gain of 4% for Underwood. At the conclusion of this ballot an adjournment was taken until Monday Orators Extol Candidates. Thursday night's session witnessed two separate demonstrations. The greatest one occurred when Senator Reed made bis speech presenting tbe name of Speaker Champ Clark of Mis­ souri as a candidate for the nomina­ tion for president. There was a small demonstration when Gov. Baldwin's name was pre­ sented. When Judge J. W Wescott completed his speech placing in nom­ ination the name of Prof. Woodrow Wilson there was great cheering and tumult, which lasted fully thirty min­ utes. Congressman Underwood's name was presented by W. B. Bankhead and was also received with great enthus­ iasm by the Alabama man's followers Earlier in the evening Colonel Bry­ an set the convention wild when he started an attack on tbe predatory in­ teracts. specifically naming Morgan. Ryan and Belmont The fight that fol­ lowed was one of the most spectacular and most fiercely fought that was ever witnessed In the convention of a poli­ tical party. Bryan was at his ora­ torical best and aroused the great aud­ ience to the highest pitch of enthas- iasm. He won his fight and placed his party Bquarely on record against the money power. Bryan Wins Great Victory. Colonel Bryan threw a bonlb Into the convention Thursday evening shortly after it was called to order by Chairman James. He Introduced a resolution declaring J- P- Morgan, Thomas F. Ryan and August Belmont enemies of the party, and placing the convention squarely on record against the nomination of a man for the presi­ dency who was in any way connected with these men or their interests or In any way under their influence. A clause in the resolution demanding the withdrawal of Ryan and Belmont as delegates was subsequently with­ drawn. Mr. Bryan moved to suspend the rules and place the resolution od its passage. A two-thirds vote was neo> essary. > The motion was carried by a vote of 899 to 180. Wilson Wins Fight Thursday was a day of excitement, in which Gov. Wood-ow Wilson came off with first honors from a test of strength with the conservative forces in the convention. On a roll call the convention, by a vote of 633% to 437, seated the ten Wilson delegates from South Dakota who had been unseated by the com­ mittee on credentials Governor Wilson, In turn, lost part of this gain when the six delegates from the Philippines were unseated on the ground that the Democratic party, having proclaimed that these islands were not and should not ever become a part of the United Stares, could not permit the islands to have a voice In the deliberations of the party. During the debate on the South Da­ kota case the Wilson adherents start­ ed a demonstration for thpir candi­ date which developed into the greatest free-for-all presidential noise fest of recent years. One after another of the other candidates, through their friends, was brought into a marching and shout' -g throng, each faction try­ ing to outdo the others with its cheers. Other Contests Are Bunched. After the disposition of the South Dakota and the Philippines cases the other contests were disposed of with one viva voce vote when the report of the credentials committee, as amended in these two instances, wai adopted. This ended the Illinois fight between the Sullivan and Harrison factions, which expected to be the head!!n«r of the day, and the Sullivan delegates Gained their seats. Permanent organization then waa perfected and Sentor-elect O"' > M. James of Kentuck.' wa= Intro iuced aa permanent chairman of the conven­ tion. He delivered a long speech, de­ voted wholly to tbe tariff, finance and trusts, but he brought the delegates up standing with an eloqtrit rlbute to Bryan near the clcse Chance for Orators. A short session Wednesday after­ noon was devoted to oratory and the resultant outbursts of enthusiasm awakened by tbe speakers. The con­ vention adjourned until evening with* out transacting any business. The de- lay was caused by the flsht over the Illinois contests before the committee on credentials Parker Beata Bryan. By a decisive majority--579 t« 506--Judge Alton B. Parker oi New York was elected temporary chairman of the Democratic na­ tional convention over William Jennings Bryan Tuesday. Senatot Kern of Indiana was Bryan's can* didate for the position and the Ne­ braskan made a desperate fight in be­ half of his man. but was forced in the end to become a candidate himself and lead the progressives in the fight against the New York man.

Here is how Thomas Fortune Ryan got into the Democratic national con­ vention as a delegate from Virginia. The story of how he did It never has been told before. The fight for delegates in the Tenth district was between the machine and the anti-machine forces, the latter led by Henry St. George Tucker, The machine was for Clark. The forces und^r Tucker were fighting to elect progressive delegates who would vote for Woodrow Wilson. The machine won. The Flood forces in the district convention claimed a majority of six­ teen. The Tucker men admitted that the convention was against them by a majority of at least six. ^ At this stage of the proceedings it was posyble for the Flood men to nominate' and elect two Clark dele­ gates. instead of doing this ,to tbe amazement of the progressives they proposed that all fighting in the con­ vention should cease. A conference of the leaders on both sides was held and the Flood nien proposed to Tuck-' er and his followers that they should name a delegate, and that the two se­ lected in this manner should be elected unanimously by the entire conveta- tlon. In this conferqpce the Flood men were careful to refrain from men­ tioning who their man would be. The proposition was accepted by the progressives. The Tucker men named one of their own number, who has voted through­ out the I?altimore convention for every progressive proposition and will vote for Wilson. The leaders on the other side, the machine men, announced their selection as "Mr. Ryan." The convention was not even In­ formed as to whom the "Mr. Ryan" meant. The delegates, as a matter of fact, suspected that they were voting for Thomas S. Ryan, son of the Wall street manipulator. This younger KILLED. BIT CYCLONE.
