EFFORT TO COMMIT ALL TO HIM FOUGHT Convention Crowd Cheers Every Mention of the Name of*Bryan Made in the Opening Speech by the Temporary Chairman. BURLINGTON, Io., May 16.—Champ Clark won 15 and Woodrow Wilson 7 of the 26 lowa district delegates to the Democratic national convention in the caucuges held prior to the opening of the State convention here today. The four delegates-at-large also will be for Clark. Although the delegates were chosen without instructions from their district caucuses, they are thus divided on per- sonal preference. Confronted by a dispute over the ques- tion of whether the 26 delegates shall bé instructed under the unit rule to vote for Clark for President or express their personal preference in the matter of a candidate, the convention met shortly ‘before noon today. The 1034 delegates were slow in reaching the convention hall from the district caucuses. Chairman N. F. Reed of the Demo-, cratic State Centra] Committee intro- duced M. F. Healy of Fort Dodge as the temporary chairman, who announced the committees on Permanent Organiza- tion, Credentials and Resolutions. The delegates enthusiastically cheérew? every mention of William J. Bryan’s name in Healy’s address. List of Delegates Chosen. The district delegates to the Baltimore convention elected, were as follows: First Disirict—John Pettibone, Burling- ton; R. D. Louden, Fairfield. Second District—Henry Voltmer, Da- venport; W. J.

Murtagh, Algona; Maurice O'Connor, Fort Dodge; Mon- taguée Hakes, Laurens; J. C. Arts, Car- roll. Eleventh District—W. B. Palmer, Sioux City; J. F. Kirburg, Sanborn. The Clark men asserted they had 636 votes or 119 more than necessary for the instructions for their candidate, ' while Wilson leaders are coniudent _ that the resolution adopting the unit rule and instructions would be defeated by 200 votes. It was reported that a large number of delegates who were willing to vote for the election of Clark delegates-at- large would oppose the adoption of instructions under the unit rule. Both sides spent the early morning _ shours marshaling their forces and were ‘preparing to fight it out to a finish on the floor of the convention. The Wilson men were supported by many friends of Bryan and Harmon in their opposi- tion to the plan of instructing for Clark. Four Pre or Candidates Choose +4 ae ratic Delegates.

SEA BURIAL IS PROVIDED Episcopal Service Is Read as Un- fortunates Are Dropped Into the Ocean. NEW YORK, May !6.--The Oceanic of the White Star Liae came to port early today bringing stil another *ap- ter of the Titanic horror. Monday last, in mid-ocean, she found a Ti- tanic “‘life raft,” as the box-like fold- ing contrivances of cork and canvas and wood were called. In it were three bodies. There were evidences that there had been at least two other persons in the raft and that these had died and their bodies had been thrown overboard. It seemed probable that all had died of starvation. The three remaining bodies were buried at sea by a detachment of the Oceanic’s crew. Contradictg Carpathia Report, When the captain of the Carpathia. after he had gone to the rescue of the fleet of lifeboats drifting about over the Titanic’s grave, reported that he had accounted for all of the sunken hn- er’s boats and rafts, there was wonder over his lucky thoroughness. The finding of the raft by the Oceanic was held by seafaring men as evidence that his message was but another of the statements that came from the sea to a frightened, horror-stricken world with intent to make the disaster seem IJéss terrible. The raft was sighted by the Oceanic about noon Monday. A boat was sent to it, and immediately returned, report- ing the finding of three bodies. The boat was sent back with a new crew in charge of Surgeon French. The bodies were prepared for sea burial, and oa French committed them: to ‘the wa as ‘be-read the Episcopal burial eerv- ice. Dr,; Frénch’s opinion that the men starved to death is based on the finding of smal] bits Of éork in the mouths of the dead men, which hé believes they chewed to allay the pangs of hunger. One of the bodies is believed to be that of Thomson Beattie, a passenger, and the others of sailors. “In the bow of the raft,’’ said Dr. French, ‘was the body of a fireman. At the stern was the body of a sailor and that of a cabin passenger, dressed for dinner, with an overcoat pulled over his evening clothes. We found a tailor’s tag inside his coat pocket in- dicating that he was Thompson Beat- tie of Chicago. Ring as Identification Mark. “That there had been other persons in the boat was shown by a double ring, which we found wrapped in paper, as though taken by the survivors for the purpose of identification. It was such a ring as a widow might cause to be made of her own and her husband’s wedding rings; the two had been fused together. On the inside of half of the ring was the inscription ‘Edward to Creda,’ and some figures, apparently a date which we could not make out. ‘There was also a fur overcoat which seemed from the inner tag of the pocket to have been made for a man named Williams.” Mme. Narcelle Narvritil of Nice, France, arrived on the Oceanic, to get her two children, Michol and Edmund, who were rescued from the Titanic, while their father perished. The widow was met at the plier by her cousin, Miss Rese Brunc of Elkins Park, Md., and Miss Margaret Hays of this dity, who for weeks cared for the little survivors.

LOUISAN Star Catcher in Old Browns Ball Team Became Democratic Politician. McALESTER, Ok., May 16.—A jury in the Superior Court, in the case of Judge J. P. Connors of Canadian, for murder, after being out only 15 minutes, returned a verdict of not guilty. Judge Conners was charged with having killed his. son, J. P. Connors Jr., aged 27, on May 12, at their home. He surrendered to the officers, and a coroner’s jury refused to hold him. But he demanded a trial. He shot his son five times, while the latter was rushing on him with an open razor. The son ran away from home 12 years ago. He tramped over the world, returning at intervals. He had squandered his allotment and frequent- ly was given money by his father. A week before the killing, he re- turned, after an absence of a year, and demanded $500, saying he ~ would kill the Judge and all the family if he did not get it. He became intoxicated on the day of the tragedy, and broke all the windows of the house. As the Judge entered the kitchen, the son ran at him, say- ing, ‘‘I told you I would kill all the family and I will begin on you,’’ The Judge at that time had not-slept for four nights; fearing for the lives of his family, Judge Connors, an intermarried Choc- taw citizen, was president of the State Board of Agriculture during the Haskell administration. He farms ex- tensively, and is one of the best known of the State’s Democratic politicians. He was. a Choctaw judge under the Indian Government. He came to this section 30 years ago from St. Louis, where in the seventies he’ was the star catcher of the St. Louis Browns. He is much @rieved over the tragedy. ACCEPTS A REDUCED WAGE, IS MUTILATED Driver for East St. Louis Grocer Seized by Three Men, Bound, Gagged, Attacked. John Roth, 65 years old, of 209 North Fifth street, East St. Louis, is in a serious condition at the Henrietta Hos- pital, following an attack by three men Wednesday evening, who mutilated him with a knife. Mrs. Rose Mitchell, superintendent of the hospital, said Roth told her the men, after binding and gagging him, said they were going to punish him for tak- ing a job as driver for a grocer for less money than his predecessor drew. Roth was putting up the horses in the rear,of 423 St. Louis avenue when the men attacked him from behind. A sack was thrown over his head, and while two held him the other attacked him. After his assailants left, he cried for help. Follow workmen responded, and he was taken to the hospital.

FOLDING BED KILLS WOMAN CLARENCE, Mo., May 16.—When members of Mrs. Lucinda Welch's fam- ily went to her room to call her at 8 o'clock this morning, they found the folding bed in which she slept had closed, and that the woman was dead. Apparently the accident happened soon after she retired last night, as she had been dead many hours. Her throat was cought by the corner of the bed col Wife Saus_Woman Boarder Ruled} Merely Servant in Her Own Home| Charges Girl’ Dominated Husband —Photo by Murillo. Mrs. Bruns Says He Was Miss Edgar’s Chiropodist, Asks Sep- arate Maintenance. Mrs. Millie Bruns of 2745 Lafayette av- enue, who is suing her husband, Ed- ward Bruns, for separate maintenance, tdld a Post-Dispatch reportér Thursday that she virtually had been rele- gated to the rank of a servant in her own house for more than eight years by Miss Belle Edgar, a saleswoman, who, she said, seemed to dominate Bruns’ affections, and demand his con- stant attentions. So unusual was the regard Bruns and Miss Edgar had for each other, Mrs. Bruns declared, that he used to button her dresses and perform the duties of a chiropodist for her, while she recipro- cated by caring for his laundry, buying his socks and reading to him each night into the small hours of the morn- ing. After Bruns and his wife had retired, Mrs. Bruns said, Miss Edgar would come into the bedroom, barefooted, and wearing a low-necked night dress, put her feet on the bed and begin reading. Sometimes, the wife said, Miss Edgar would. get drowsy after hours of read- ing and begin to nod over her book. When Bruns would arouse her by: in- quiring if she were sleepy, she would reply “‘No,’’ and start reading again, Mrs. Bruns said. Girl Liked Poetry. Miss Edgar, according to Mrs. Bruns, was very fond of poetry, but, Bruns leaned strongly to love stories of the “best-seller’’ type. To adjust this dif- ference of tastes, Miss Edgar sometimes read poetry about half the night and then turned to a popular novel for the benefit of Bruns. Mrs. Bruns said she usually was weary after a day of hard work in caring for her home, but if she asked her hus- band to have Miss Edgar stop reading, he would say, “Oh, go to sleep. This doesn't concesn you.” “My husband met Miss Edgar in Omaha about ten years ago, when he was working there as a salesman,”’ said Mrs. Bruns.’ ‘“‘When he returned to St. Louis, she followed him and I was introduced to her at a funeral. A few days later, apparently by accident, she met me downtown and asked me if she might come to our house to board, saying she did not like to stay with a strange family. “I thought it was all right, so I let}? her come. But it wasn’t very long until I saw my mistake. Miss Edgar began finding fault with my housekeeping and cooking and often corrected our chil- dren. When I would remonstrate, she would say, ‘Oh, you're a back num- ber.’ MRS. EDWARD BRUNS from the kitchen to the dining room. “Once my husband announced that he was going to Chicago on a business trip, and Miss Edgar suddenly decided she would go to Chicago to visit a sis- ier she had not seen for 15 years. They Were gone a week. “The situation got worse all the time. My husband’ never would take me out unless I let Miss Edgar go with us. He supported her in everything she did, and at last she absolutely dom’ inated the home.’”’ The crisis, Mrs. Bruns said, came last January, when Miss Edgar took a por- trait of the couple’s daughter, Ethel, from a big frame that hung in the par- lor and replaced it with her own. ‘T took Miss Edgar’s picture out, laid it on her trunk, and told her if she didn’t get out of my house I would choke her. I also told her never to come back. She went and she hasn’t returned.”’ Mrs. Bruns. said her husband was furious when Miss Edgar left. “What do you mean by sending her away?’ Mrs. Bruns said he_= eried. “Don’t you.know she has been helping support the family?” After Miss Edgar was gone, Bruns became morose and refused to speak to his wife any more than was absolute- ly necessary, she said. Miss Edgar, a large and prepossessing blonde, had little to say when seen by a reporter at the downtown store where she is employed. “You must be talking to the wrong Belle Edgar,’’ she said loftily. “If you are sure you are not, then I have noth- ing to say.” Bruns could not be found. home Tuesday, it is said.

Dr.‘ Wiley, who is 67 yedts old, was. married to Miss Anna G. Kelton a year ago. He left “Carried Meals to Her.” “My husband began showing the most unusual interest in hem at once, He was with her constantly when they were at home and he used to meet her downtown every evening when she got through work so they could come home together. “If I remonstrated with my husband for getting home late, he would reply, “Well, Belle was late this evening.’ When I would ask him why he had to wait for Belle, he would get very angry. ‘My husband did not work for a long time and if I happened to go out during the afternoon, it would not be unusual for Miss Edgar to come home early, saying she was il).

Mills Declares Short Jail | Term Would Be er | ! able, and Criticises Sheriff —Judge Against Favors. County Authorities Would Not Bz Surprised at Man’s Appearance — Fugitive, Contrite, Quits Drinking. Charles R. Drummond, member of a rich tobacco family, who has been a fugitive from justice a year, is treat- ing, through his attorney, with St. Louis County authorities for terms under which he may surrender. He fled from St. Louis because of his violation of a parole granted to him by Judge Wurde- man in the St. Louis County Circuit Court after he had been sentenced to serve & six months’ prison term for bigamy. ; Judge Wurdeman and Prosecuting At- torney Mills Thursday: told a- Post-Dis patch reporter that they would not be surprised if Drummond were to walk into the Clayton courthouse any day and give himself up. These stdatenients followed a visit to Clayton by Drummond's. attorney, Ford W. Thompeon, and the persistent rumor that Drummond is now in or near St. Louls waiting for terms to be made for his surrender. Mills Tells of Lawyer's Visit. Prosecuting Attorney Mills told of Thompson's visit to him. “Thompson was out here a few days ago,”’ said Mills. “He tried to find out my attitude and that of Judge Wurde- man as to granting another parole to Drummond. The parole formerly granted could not be restored, as several terms of court have elapsed since Drummond was sentenced. ‘I gave Thompson a cold reception, and told him that I. could. not recom- mend a second parole. Drummond’s rec- ord, reputation, prominence and reputed wealth would be sure to cause the pub- lic to belfeve that money had been used to influence me if I made such a rec- ommendation. The public thinks Drum- mond is rich, though I believe he has spent nearly all his fortune.” Mills says he did not recommend the parole granted to. Drummond, but that he did recommend that it be revoked after it was learned that Drum- mon induced a young &t. Louls woman to go to New York with A special news telegram from Reno, Nev., to the Post-Ditpatch last week said that a man believed to be Drum- mond, and using a name with Drum- mond’s initials, was in Reno, Nev. This information was given to Sheriff Grueninger, who said that he would wire at once to Reno to have the man held for investigation. Grue- ninger begged that nothing be pub- lished about the man in Reno, as pub- licity, he said, might defeat the ends of justice. Grueninger now admits that he had not sent a telegram to Reno, and said he would not do so. His ex- planation was that he was tired of spending money out of his own pock- et to run down Drummond clews. He also said that on the night before he had received a telephone message that Drummond was in St. Louis. About the same time a second mes- sage from Reno said the man thought to be Drummond had left Reno and was believed to have come to §&8t, Louis. Shortly after this negotia- tions for Drummond's surrender were begun. Attorney Thompson, seen by a Post- Dispatch reporter, said that he could not discuss the affairs of his client, Drummond. He did not deny that an effort has been made to learn the at- titude of the county authorities as to Drummond's parole. He would not deny that Drummond had been out West, but would not discuss the Reno incidents.
