THE RALEIGH TIMES, i TUESDAY, JTTNE 25, 1912. illillT BUILDING HEWS Seme Notes" On" Construction and Icprovecients la Raleigh The following development notes are obtained from the Chamber of commerce: Mention has been made, of the fact that work Is very actively In progress on the new freight depot " of the Southern railway, which is directly east of the old depot, that used to be the union passenger sta tion. The concrete foundations are now being put down, the grading for the tracks having been practically completed. This work is quite ex tensive and very near it and north of the cotton oil mill a large ware house is going up, part of it being on ground made of earth taken from the site of the freight depot. A little to the northwestward there is much more work, where the steam shovel Is cutting through for the Raleigh, Charlotte & Southern track at a point between west Hargett street and Boylan bridge. Houses are' being removed along the line, big trees are coming down and at a point very near the bridge a large residence, that of Mr. Phillips, is to be moved to a point a little distance to the northwest. Just now the steam shovel is nearly on the level, but will soon strike heavy work. On South Wilmington street, near the Leonard Hospital of Shaw Uni versity, curbing is being put down, and there are to be side-walk Im provements. In few parts of the city are the sidewalks so wretched as they are for two or three blocks on South Wilmington street. At St. Augustine's school a new dormitory is two-thirds completed, and ia to be ready for use in Sept ember, when the next term opens. Bank Construction. The Commercial National Bank will this week occupy quarters in what has been termed an "im promptu" bank, in part of its new fauilding, and in a few days the demolition of the eastern part of the bank building will begin, the foun dation will be laid and the steel construction carried on. The bank will have these temporary quarters for about a year, when the construc tion work will be completed. The Raleigh Banking and Trust Com pany will soon occupy temporary : quarters in the western part of its new building and the eastern part, so long, made familiar by the "round steps," will be demolished, and the new construction will be pushed. Then the very handsome cornice will be put on all the build ing. The bank will occupy the cor ner and will be flanked by two show rooms of the Carolina Power and Light Company, : one fronting on West Hargett street and the other on Fayettevllle street. State Building. The massive cornice of the state administration building is being placed. The strength of the derricks, which really look small, can be un derstood when it Is said that one of these handled easily the corner stones of this cornice, each stone weighing 13,000 pounds. The con struction of the building has been very rapid, and it is to be done in February, But for the remarkably severe winter it would have been completed by the end of the year. The work has been marked by no accidents of any importance. Change in Xanie. The locomotives which formerly carried the name "Raleigh & South port," now have the name "Raleigh, Charlotte & Southern," but the old name remains on the cars. 1 his road, it is now intimated, will not pass through Concord on its way to Charlotte, but will go by the way of Mt. Gilead, as it is claimed that the latter route Is much shorter and easier to construct. Mr. and Mrs, Wrenn .Entertain. (Special to The Times.) Slier City, June 25. In honor of their brother. Dr. Frank Wrann, Mr. and Mrs. Junius Wrenn, most .de lightfully entertained the young peo ple of the town at a muslcale last Friday night. The guests were re ceived by Mr. and Mrs. Wrenn and Miss Kate Vestal; Misses Hazel Mc ' Adams and Lizzie Wrenn presided at the punch bowl. After the rendition of the musical program, the party adjourned to the porches where they were further entertained by a quartette, composed of Messrs. Junius and Speight Wrenn and Drs. Frank Wrenn and Robert McAdams, singing the old southern melodies. Wedding Bells ANNOUNCEMENTS, INVITATIONS, CARDS, ENGRAVED IN VEBY LATEST AND BEST STYLE. EDWARDS & BR0UGDT0N PRINTING CO. Raleigh, N.O. Kern Is . the Choice of Ihe Bryan Forces . (Continued From Page One.) claiming from 650 to 700 delegates as favorable to Judge Parker, for temporary chairman. Five hun dred and forty-seven votes were ne. cessary to a choice. The Bryan sup porters claim that a poll of the dele gates showed that the requited ma jority was with him. A strong factor to be reckoned with in the big contest, as in for mer conventions, was Bryan's per sonality and oratory. On this bat tle Bryan will have a sure test of his strength as a controlling factor in the convention. Many recognized leaders are wondering what will be the power of Bryan's eloquence and whether that gift which inspired him to make the famous "Crown of thorns and cross of gold" speech and won the presidential nomina tion for him in 1896, will again en able him to rally the party's legions around him as the standard bearer. Seven of the democratic strong men are avowed candidates for the presi dential nomination. None of them can hope to receive the required 728 votes on the first ballot. Bryan has said repeatedly he was in no sense a candidate, yet he goes into the convention as a delegate from Nebraska, the second choice of more states than any avowed candidate. Since arriving Sunday night Bryan has diplomatically evaded the' ef forts of friendly delegates to draw him out on the subject. It would seem from his demeanor that his greatest interest is in the control of the convention for the progressives and prevent the nomination of a reactionary. While it is admitted that defeat in his fight against Par ker would be a severe blow to him, his friends do not concede that it would eliminate him as a presiden tial possibility. As chairman of the committee on resolutions, a strong probability, Bryan will have an op-, portunity to speak in presenting the platform. There can be no doubt that Bryan is the central figure here as Roosevelt was at Chicago. Little importance attaches to the contested seats here as compared to those in Chicago. These contests will have little bearing on the result regard less Of the way they are decided. The hotels are doing the best they can to care for the thousands of visitors here, but they cannot ac commodate all. Public-spirited citi zens are opening up their homes to accommodate many visitors. The spirit of revelry was abroad last night. While some of the delegates sweltered . in hotel rooms holding caucuses and discussing prospects of their presidential favorites, many more visitors joined the throngs which paraded the streets until a late hour. College yells of the Woodrow Wilson Princeton Club and the "Houn Dawg" song of the Clark enthusiasts mingled with the hurrahs of the followers of Under wood, Marshall, Harmon, Burke and Baldwin.- Managers of the various booms furnished ammunition for the noise. Forty real "houn dawgs," from Albemarle county, Virginia, will be in a parade which the Clark followers planned for today, Other curiosities in the parade will be "Borax Bill," with his famous team of snow white mules. Carter H. Harrison, Chicago's mayor, declared last night that if the convention nominated a progressive candidate and placed before the people a pro gressive platform, a great democrat ic victory would sweep the country next November. One thousand women advocates of woman's suffrage will march in a parade which the suffragettes are planning for Thursday night to im press upon the convention delegates the need of votes for woman. A plank in the platform designed to win over the negroes to the demo cratic party is sought by the nation al colored democratic league. f committee headed by Bishop Wal ters will present the plank to the resolutions committee. . Bryan Rose Early. William J. Bryan rose early and scarcely had time to glance over the morning papers when delegates and visitors began flocking to his room. "I have no candidate for temporary chairman," Bryan said. "Any pro gressive will be satisfactory." Fur ther than this, Bryan would not discuss the situation. Parker's friends appeared sanguine before the convention met. Settle on Kern. Senator John W. Kern of Indiana, was practically agreed upon as the candidate of the progressives for temporary chairman of the national convention. He will be placed in nomination by William J. Bryan, A conference was held this morning in which Senators Lea, Kern, New lands, Gore, Committeeman Garber, of Ohio, and Charles W. Bryan par ticipated. The conferees, at Its con clusion, told Bryan they thought Kern should be named and that he should be nominated by Bryan. Bryan Weeps. Bryan said this morning he felt fiat 7 " - ,. l. ..y jjjJ y'Jx MR. AXI MRS. "NICK" AT TH10 COXVEXTIOX.

Itoosevolt. very keenly about the situation and was prepared to make the speech of his life in defense of his attitude and against "the "big interests," who he declared, were opposing him. Some of Bryan's callers declared that tears came in the Nebraskan's eyes as he discussed the situation. That he was in dead earnest, was appar ent. Parker said he had no idea who would lead the fight for him. He said it was entirely in the na tional committee's hands.. Hull Opened at Ten O'clock. The convention hall doors opened at 10 o'clock. A heavy rain was falling. It was an hour before many delegates and spectators arrived. At 11 o'clock many seats set apart for the delegates and alternates were empty. Not more than fifty specta tors were present at that hour. A wealh of decorations in white and gold and national colors greet ed the early arrivals at the fifth regiment : armory. The structure was beautified by thousands of yards of bunting.. The ugly steel girders under the roof were hidden by a false ceiling of light netting. From the galleries swung banners of the various states, territories and insular possessions. As the noon hour approached the hall filled rapidly. The band played popular airs and was frequently applauded. Everyone was expecting a great demonstration when Bryan appear ed In the hall and was quiet in an ticipation. First Applause for Wilson. The first applause greeted the Texas delegation entering the hall waving Wilson banners. The most prominent places on the floor were alloted to states having avowed presidential candidates. To the right of the main aisle, directly fronting the stage, was Missouri; to the left New Jersey; back of .Missouri came Ohio; back of New Jerseey, was Alabama. Cardinal Gibbons entered, accom panied by Chairman Orain, of the local committee, at 11:45. In his red robes the cardinal made a pic turesque figure amidst the soberly clad delegates. There was spread ing a murmur of excitement as word came that Bryan had left for the convention hall. Popular southern melodies cul minating with Dixie, brought fre quent outbursts from the throng. "The Star Spangled Banner" brought the gathering to its feet. The convention officials began tak ing their places on the platform a few minutes before noon. Bryan Entered, Unrecognized, Bryan slipped into the hall by one of the side entrances and was on the platform some minutes without be ing recognized by the throngs. He shook hands with the cardinal. The California delegation brought in a large Clark banner. Scattered cheers greeted it. Chairman Mack took his place at the presiding of ficer's desk a few minutes after noon. : , . Shaking the cardinal's hand, Bryan said: "I am very glad, in deed, to meet you, and am sorry not to have known you before." The Nebraakan then slipped back in to a seat, well secluded from the crowd's gaze. The delegates seemed In great confusion in finding seats and apparently were not concerned about Bryan or anyone else. LaFollette Coming to See Bryan. Baltimore, June 251 William Jennings Bryan was asked about the report that Senator LaFollette was on the way from the west to see him. Bryan said he had not heard of it; that while he had no appoint ment with LaFollette he would be glad to see him, Fo Starts Tonight. Boston.

Baltimore, June 25. Cardinal Glbons delivered the invocation at the opening today of the democratic national convention. He spoke as follows: "We pray Thee, O God of might, wisdom and justice, through Whom authority Is rightly, administered, laws are enacted and judgment de creed, assist with Thy Holy Spirit Of counsel and fortitude, the presi dent of these United States, that his administration may be conducted in righteousness, and be eminently useful to Thy people over whom he presides, by encouraging due re spect for virtue and religion, by a faithful execution of the laws of justice and mercy and by restrain ing vice and Immorality. "Let the light of Thy divine wis dom direct the deliberations of this convention and shine forth in all its proceedings and enactments, so that they may tend to the preservation of peace and good wilKand the pro motion of concord and harmony. "May authority be exercised with out despotism, and liberty prevail without license. -May this conven tion demonstrate once more to the American people and to the world at large, that the citizens of the United States have solved the pro blem of self-government by exercis ing and tolerating ihe broadest and most untrammeled freedom of dis cussion in their political assemblies, without dethroning reason and without invading the sacred and in violable domain of law and of pub lic order. "May the delegates assembled to select a candidate for chief magis trate, be ever mindful that they are the sons of the same heavenly Fa ther, that they ai-e the brothers of the same national family, that they are fellow citizens of the same glori ous republic, that they are joint heirs of the same heritage of free dom, and may it be their highest ambition to transmit this precious inheritance, unimpaired to their children's, children,. - May the con sciousness of 'this community of in terests or of destiny banish from their hearts all bitterness, hatred and ill will, and inspire them with sentiments of genuine charity, bene volence and mutual reaped and for bearance. "We recommend likewise to Thy unbounded mercy all our brethren and fellow citizens throughout the United States, that they may be blessed in the knowledge and sanc tified in the observance of Thy most holy law; that they may be pre served in union and in that peace which the world cannot give and after enjoying the blessings of this life, they may be admitted to those which are eternal."
