G. Sorlie of Grand Forks as the league can- didate for Governor. Close friends of Senator B. F. Baker declared openly that he would not permit his name to be used.» and that his strength would go to Mr. Sorlie. The> Nonpartisan League Convention, called to consider organ- ization matters and endorse candi- dates for State and National offices for the coming election, got under way shortly before noon today in Patterson hall on the call of State Chairman W. J. Church. The con- vention proceeded with its organiza- tion without preliminary oratory, J. C. Miller of Bottineau beigg named temporary and then permanent chair- man, Chairman Church asked the con- vention to name committees to frame the order of business, prepare resol- ‘wutions, report on nominations, fin- ance und other questions, it being desired by the State Committee to have much of the busihess presented to the convention in concrete form by the committees So as to expedite matters. After brief preliminaries the convention was to adjourn until afternoon. Say Baker Is Out Question of candidates for state offices rose to the fore in pre-con- vention discussion during the morn- ing. The flat statement was made by close friends of Senator B, F. Baker of. Renville county that he would 10t permit himself to be en- dorsed for governof or any other state office. The acceptance by Bak- er’s close friends of this understand- ing led supporters of A. G. Sorlie of Grand Forks to predict his nomina- tion for governor omthe first ballot. Senator Baker declined to comment on the situation. A report circulated by friends of Commissioner of Insurance S. A. < Olsness that he would not be a can-, didate again for that office and a boom for him for congressman from the Second District were met by Ols- ness himself with a declination of comment, Candidates proposed by their friends for congressman from the Second District became more numerous than for any other office. Inclined among the latest urged for the office was State Auditor D. C. Poindexter. State Chairman Church said that he was “a passive candidate” for the endorsement for Congress. Take Adjournment After naming Gerald Nye of Co- operstown seeretary and appointing a_eredentials, committee composed of ¢. J. Olson of Barnes county, Mrs. Howard Wood of Cass county and R. A. Patton’ of Mountrail county the convention adjourned until 3 p. m. out of respect to the memory of Woodrow, Wilson, 4 The question of labor delegates may come before the convention here. Representative Hardy of Marmarth was here seeking recognition as a labor delegate. Until the last con- vention organized labor was accorded certain delegates but the rule was changed und no special provision made for them. &. S. McDonald of Bismarck said that he made a fight to retain the Tabor delegates at the last convention, was defeated and ) was not certain whether he would fi make the proposal again or not.

Senator Ralph Inger- son of Burke county, who sponsored the plan, said that he expected it would be killed in conyention, and numerous other leaguers who de- elared that the league should stay in the Républican’ primary declared that there was no chance of the lea- ie taking any other course, How- ver, the Burke county delegation ex- pects to give the convention a chance to talk the matter over.

Alarmed at the first rumbling as the earthen roof and timbers gave way, seven miners near the shaft started up to stairs near to safety but their 41 comrades caught in the ig water met almost vinstantaneous death.

While a number of the men were foreigners, by far the greater num- ber were naturalized Americans. or American-born, and all were exper- ienced miners, working in an old mine deemed safe.

SILENT THOUSANDS GATHER ON QUIET STREETS AS THE SIMPLE RITES FOR MR. WILSON ARE HELD Respectful Attention Draws Them Along as Private services Are Held For Nation’s War-Time President, With Pres- ident Coolidge and Many Other Distinguished People Present to do Dead Man Honor — Government Business Ceases While the Funeral Is Being Held. Washington, Feb. 6.— (By the A. P.) — As the nation waited to pay its last silent tribute and respect today to Woodvow Wilson the simple arrangements for the funeral were completed and the machinery of government slowed A few hours before the funeral cortege would leave. the saddened home where he found peace after the turmoil of eight years in the highest office his countrymen can give him the streets were filling along the way it must pass. to the dead, the government departments set free swarming thousands from office in the tribute. At stated intervals all the way up the wide avenue to the Cathedral soldiers and marines were in place to hold open There was little but respect for the dead to draw these silent watchers away from the busy thoroughfares of the city into the quiet streets that the short funeral procession It was to be a sad spectacle without martial display or the mourning of great bands. They could not hear the private services at the home and only a few could catch the echoes of the funeral ceremony at the chapel where the body of the fallen leader would be entombed. Yet they came to stand hour by hour just to watch in silence as the casket was carried swiftly by. Many On Streets Even before the small gethering of those who would join ith the family in the home service bed be- gun to assemble the lines were form- ing where the carriages and mctcrs waited to bear them on later to the chapel. For a wide area about the S street home and either side of the way, Massachusetts Avenue to Mount St. Albans, where the Cathe- dral stands police regulations closed off all vehicular traffic except such us was necessary for the funeral party. Others of the distinguished company destined to witness the chapel ceremony were carried by roundabout ways to the Cathedral and all were in their places in the dim chapel before the funeral party arrived. There was only standing - space for those behind the few chairs set for the family and for President Coolidge and his cabinet. Await President Coolidge On the south side of S street ever pedestrian traffic had been closed off to keep the way clear for the entire block. Opposite where through th« long hours of Mr. Wilson‘s last i) ress had stood a waiting line th sometimes kneeled in prayer thos foot could find place. Many lir the high-banked earth beyond sidewalk ito wait for a brief glimp<* of the President and Mrs, Coolids: and of the other distinguished pe sons who were admitted to the pr vate services. No Music There There was no music in that simple service, no sound to reach the wait- ing people in the streets. The lib- rary where the service was held is at the back of the house and no win- dow glimpse rewarded the patient watchers in the streets. Most of those in the streets al- ready knew almost word for word what was to be said within, They knew that three clergymen would make a fellowship of simple mourn- ing and devotional utterance beside the bier, The Episcopal Bishop of Washington and two Presbyterian pastors with which Mr. Wilson had worshiped in Washington or in Princeton, There were many out there who could have repeated with Dr. Taylor the encouraging words of faith and comfort voiced in the twenty-third psalm, who could have foretold the appeal of Dr. Beach would make that heavenly compas- sion would encompas$ the bereaved household. It was for Bishop Free- man to employ that even more inti- mate page from the devout life of the dead man taken from the worn book of religious comfort it had been his nightly custom to read. Service Men Arrixe Arrival before the home of squad of non-commissioned men from the Army, Navy and Marine Corps was the one touch of color for which the simple rites provided. There were eight men from each ser- vice, especially selected for their records of duty to the flag. Their task was to carry the casket under its shronding flag and to lift it to the hearse, then to fall in about the hearse as the funeral train moved off down the hill to swing right into the avenue and go slowly up_ the gradual climb to the Cathedral gbove. Again at the chapel there were the hands commissioned to bear their honored burden into the low stepped. dimly lighted room where the: fina! service would be made. The distant chanting of the organ set to funeral dirge marked their slow progress. Share Servce Bishop Freeman had arranged with his Presbyterign colleagues the or- der in which the burial service would be shared. While the printed service, Prepared that the company gathered doad might take part in the sxevclss, dead might in followed the Episcopal ritual, perti- cipation by the clergymen of Mr. Wilson’s own faith in his: ministry * “(Continued on page 8)° és ie the “
