Baltimore, July 2. When the dem

exactly a week after it lirst assembled,
the Identity of the presidential nom

Woodrow Wilson, the leading can
didate, lacked 2314 votes on the forty
second ballot, the last taken before
adjournment lust night. Champ Clark
who had dropped from lirst to second
place, still appeared to control enough
votes to prevent anyone else from gatr

BRYAN CENTER
OF RIOT SCENE
IN CONVENTION
Fist Fight Occurs While the
Tumult Is at Its
Height.
Baltimore, July 2. Bryan was the
center yesterday afternoon of a riotous
scene. The Missouri delegation at
tempted to carry the Clark banner in
front of Bryan, He indignantly re
sented the move and twice tried to
reach the platform. A howling crowd
surrounded him, pushing and demon
strating. Once he reached the plat
form, then returned and engaged in
an angry demonstration with mem
bers of the Missouri delegation, then
again mounted the platform escorted
by a policeman.
He stood there, pale and apparently
deeply moved while pandemonium
reigned and the convention was in
disorder. The Missouri banner was
pushed forward to the platform and
then thrown back by an opposing
throng. Every delegate in the con
ventloa was on his chair shouting
imidly.
A list light occurred Immediately
In l"ont of the delegates while the
tumult was at its height, policemen
separating the combatants.
Bryan, from the platform, had risen
to a question of personal privilege.
He said he had asked for a removal
of the Missouri banner from in front
of the Nebraska delegation.
Chairman James ruled that Bryan
bad not presented a question of per
sonal privilege and refused to permit
the speech to proceed. Bryan left
the platform amid great disorder and
returned to his seat.
Chairman James shouted an order
to the police to arrest the first man
who came on the floor with any ban
ner for any man.
Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston made
n point of order against Bryan's
speaking.
The point was temporarily laid
aside and Mr. Bryan proceeded.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY
IS RENT AND TORN
Political Friendships of Years
Are Broken in Turmoil
at Baltimore.
(By K. B. Jeffress)
Baltimore, July 2. The democratic
party yesterday entered upon the sec
ond week of this record-breaking con
vention, facing a desperate situation,
with but little hope of an early or a
happy solution. Friendships of years
have been broken, with little hope of
ever being renewed. The democratic
party which a week ago abounded in
the hope of electing the next president,
is now rent and; lorn. Little hus been
heard the past few hours of democ
racy's beaming chances. The truth Is,
the party is undergoing a giant meta
morphis, the by-products nf which
are unknown. The party has branded
itself progressive, but there are all
shades and colors, each claiming to
be the real thing. When some sage
remarked, "There is no democratic
party and William J. Bryan is Its
leader." he cahie near describing the
present situation. Bryan has again
shown his spirit of rule or ruin, and
he has about ruined the party's
chances of success and, above all, has
breathed life Into the Roosevelt third
party. If any , iieedoi'
Clurk-Bryas) Ureal. lilenlns;.
The break between Speaker Clark
and Bryan is widening each moment.
Alter his visit here Sunday, Champ
Clak Issued a statement declaring that
if he had not entered into a combina
tion the man who charged it Is a
tniltor to the democratic party. This
Is taken as Clark's call on Bryan to
prove the charge. It was passed
around in Clark circles that Murphy,
the Tammany leader, would produce
on the convention floor a cancelled
check for $10,0(10 which Tammany
contributed to Bryan's campaign in
lilOS. If the Clark leaders follow this
plan, they will do so seeking personal
retribution on the Nebraskan rather
than hoping to nominate their man.
If Clark Is thrown down It will be the
lirst time the party h:u refused to
nominate a candidate after he has re
ceived a majority.
Wilson's Friends Conlldent.
Clark's visit here will have the effect
of bolstering his tottering delegates
unlil il is demonstrated that there i?
no hope for Clark. Bryan's advocacy
of Wilson makes it untenable for many
of them to support the New Jerseyite.
Wilson forces, believing that his steady
gains Insures bis ultimate nomination
are In no compromising mood. "We
will stav here three or four days lon-
er
id Josephus Daniels, "to nom-
Inate Wilson." By Bryan's Influence
more than onc-lbird or enough to pro
long the deadlock, are now In Wilson's
hands. One hundred or 150 more del
egates for Wilson, but cannot llgure
the two-thirds. Before any serious
dark horse trolling Is done. It must be
lemonstrated that It Is impossible to
nominate either Wilson, Underwood or
Clark. Underwood may be given his
chance. Had Itryan not made his at
tack on Murphy the original program
f llnally swinging New York s vote to
Wilson and forcing his nomination
would have been accomplished long
ago. The undercurrent seems to ue
toward Wilson.
Fear Risiserelt's Influence.
Democrats here from the state are
bold In declaring they fear Roosevelt.
Influence In the state if Wilson is not
nominated. The Underwood people
are very hopeful. The llnal stand may
be made between Underwood and
Kern. There are other possibilities
such as Qaynor and Foss. Newton
l. linker or Cleveland, Is the choice
of the Wilson people for vice-presi
dent. Oovernor Wilson sent the North
Carolina delegation a telegram ex
pressing gratitude for their support.
Fx-Uovernor (llenn left for an en
gagement, declining he could not lose
the $500. He is chairman of the dele
gation. The prolonged deadlock has tried

WILSON'S STRENTH
BEGINNING TO GROW
The 42nd. Ballot Gives Him
494 Clark Fails to Re
gain the Ground He
Lost.
Baltimore, July 2. The deadlock in
the democratic national convention
over tt presidential nominee seemed
more complete than ever when ad
journment wns taken at 12:4H a. m.
until noon today. Woodrow Wilson
had made steady gains during Mon
day balloting until he reached a high
water mark of 501 votes on the
thirty-ninth liallot. He remained sta
tionary on the fortieth ballot and then
began to lose a little ground. The
last ballot was the forty-second, when
Oovernor Wilson polled 41)4 votes.
Speaker Champ Clark reached the
lowest ebb of his canaidacy on the
ballot where Wilson received a crest.
He went down to 422 votes at that
time but immediately beean to pick
up and hail gone to 430 when adjourn
ment was taken.
The speaker came over to Baltimore
during the evening nnd was a guesd at
the home of Mayor Preston, near the
convention nail. He returned to
Washington shortly before midnight.
The calling of the night session was
delayed by the failure of the leaders
to arrive. Chairman James did not
reach the stand until 8:20. A mo
ment later he dropped his gavel and
prayer w;is ottered by the Rev. Clayton
ii MW
Chairman James then ordered the
roll call for the thirty-fifth ballot.
The rumored break in Illinois did not
occur. Its :is stayed solid with Clark.
The break In the Michigan delega
Mon came according to schedule. The
Wilson delegates cheered as the vote
wns announced: "Wilson 27; Clark
3."
This gave Wilson fifteen additional
votes taking, them from the, Clark
column.
Thii steady gain which Wilson had
been making all day continued on the
Ihlrty-lifth ballot, the New Jersey gov
ernor securing 15 votes net. Clark

BALLOON BLOWS
UP, KILLING FIVE
MISS QUINBY DIES;
MONOPLANE FALLS
Noted Woman Aviator and
Passenger Are Plunged
to Death.
Boston, July 2. Miss Harriet
Qulmby of New York, the first wom
an to win an aviator's license In
America and the first woman to cross
the English channel in an aeroplane,
was instantly killed with her passen
ger, W. A. P. Willard, manager of the
Boston Aviation meet, at Atlantic last
night when her monoplane fell Into
Dorchester bay from a height of 1000
feet.
The accident happened when Miss
Quimby and Willard were returning
from a trip over Boston harbor to
Boston light, a distance of 20 miles
In all. The flight was made in 20 min
utes. The monoplane, one of the lat
est models of mllitnry monoplanes,
circled, the aviation Held and soared
over the Savin Hill Yacht club, Just
outside the aviation grounds.
Heading back into the eight mile
gusty wind, Miss Qulmby started to
volplane. The angle was too sharp
and one of the gusts caught the tall
of the monoplane, throwing the ma
chine up perpendicular.
For an Instant It poised there.
Then, sharply outlined against the
setting sun, Willard was clear of the
chassis, followed almost immediately
by Miss Qulmby. Hurling over and
over the two figures shot downward,
striking the water 20 feet from shore.
They splasnea out ot signt a seconu
before the monoplane, plunged down
15 feet away.
It was low tide and the water was
only five feet deep. Men from the
yacht club in motor boats were on the
spot quickly and leaping overboard
dragged the bodies out of the water
into which they had sunk. Death
probably wus instantaneous.
Both bodies were badly crushed.
Several of Miss Qulmby's bones were
broken and there were many large
bruises. Willard, who weighs 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.
When the victims were brought
ashore In motor boats they were tak
en to the Q uincy hospital.
A. Leo Stevens of New York, man
ager for Miss Quimby, and Miss
Quimby's friend, Mrs. Helen Vander
bllt, who were both witnesses of the
accident, are prostrated.
Before going up on their last flight,
Miss Qulmby and Mr. Willard were
talking and laughing with their
friends, Willard making Jokes about
his weight and Miss Qulmby talking
conlldently about her plans to make
an altitude record In the future
that would stand us a woman's high
mark.
In crossing the English channel on
April 26, Miss Quimhy flew at an al
titude of 6000 feet, which was the
record for a woman. Miss Qulmby
said she felt sure she could beat this
mark, although she did not believe
she could excel the record of 13,943
feet set by Garros.
The monoplane, painted a pure
white, darted at great speed over the
harbor. The motors developed
speed at times of from 75 to 100 mile,
an hour. An examination of a ba
rometer after the full showed that at
times the pilot had darted to a height
of 5000. On the return the great ma
chine was seen to wobble In the gusty
breeze.
The setting for the last act of the
disaster could not have been more
dramatic. It was sunset. The great
white wing, swept directly Into the
west and dipped toward, the earth.
There was an upward flash of the
tall, and, outlined before the specta
tor. In the red light of the we.t,
the figures were seen to shoot from
their seat. Into the bay, 1000 feet
below.
Flint Says Thaw's Insane.
White Plains, N. Y., July 2. Dr.
Austin Flint, the alienist rutalned by
the state to oppose the release of
Harry K. Thaw froir the Matteawan
isylum, explained at the hearing be
fore Judge Keogh yesterday how he
had at first regarded Thaw as a mur
derer hut later had arrived at the con-
luslon that he was Insane.
"Did you see any evidence of Insan-
'ty on Thaw', part when you first In-
ervlewed him?" Dr. Flint was asked
:iy Clarence J. Shearn, Thaw's coun
wli
'No. I thought he waa a plain mur
derer," was the reply.
Dr. Flint said hla first Intimation
that Thaw was Irrational came when
he read Thaw's will and codicil. After
studying these papers carefully ha
went lu the then District Attorney
Jerome, told him that he waa trying
an insane man.

Body Recovered.
Atlantic City, July 2. Melvin Vttnl
man and his crew of four were killed
here this morning when his balloon
"Akron," In which he intended to sail
across the Atlantic, exploded while
half a mile in the air.
Three thousand persons saw the
unique accident. The explosion,
which probably was caused by ex
pansion due to the sun's rays, took
place half a mile from shore. The
bodies, with one exception, are at the
bottom of the sea. Five men wero
killed. Besides Vaniman himself
were his brother, Calvin, Fred Elmer,
Walter Ouest and George Bourtillion.
The big silk and rubber dirigible
air craft, the counterpart of the one
which Walter Wellman, with Vani
man as captain, tried to cross the At
lantic some time ago, had been in the
air since 6:15 o'clock when, less than
an hour later, spectators saw the gas
bag rent In two, while the air about

by the still-burning ba. The men
were caught In the wreckage and
borne into the water. One body was
seen to fall clear and plunge Into the
waves before the rest. It was that
of Calvin Vaniman, the only one re
covered so far. Search Is now being
made for the others.
Thousands of people crowded the
water front and the Vaniman cottage.

the second flight of the "Akron" this
year and was preparatory to an at

when Informed by the Associated
press of the accident. He probably
will leave for Atlantic City at once.
