Parry of the Pile- drivers’ and Bridgebuilders’ Union was first announced by Ryan. G. F. Aubertine, Thom- | | hig | ho the committee,” exclaimed a delegate in the rear of the hall. “He voted at the last primary election, which is against all the rules of this party.” “I do mot claim that the speaker was actuated by malice,” responded Parry; “I did not vote at the last primary election and I am ready to draw my check for $1000 if any one can prove that I did.” “Mr. Parry’s name will not be with- drawn,” said Charman Ryan. ‘“The rest of the committee is as follows: Joseph Millmore of the Brotherhood of Team. sters, William McCabe of the Ironmolders, J.

After a few minor corrections all but one, who claimed to be a delegate, was seated That was Henry Hilker, who had once been named by the barbers. Some days ago Hilker recelved a nomi- nation for Supervisor at the Socialist par- ty convention. Less announced that the ecutive committee had for this reason credited him as a delegate and selected some one else in his stead. His explana- tion did not suit Hilker, who claimed the right to act as a delegate. Chairman Ryan ordered the sergeant at arms to clear the floor of all who were not dele- gates, and Hilker retired. Thomas Eagan, chairman of the com- mittee on permanent organization and or- der of business, presented what he called a partial report. The report recommend- ed the selection of Joseph Millmore of the Teamsters’ Union for permanent chairman, I. Less of the Barbers’ Union for vice chairman, William J. Wynn and >.

From all sides of the hall delegates were on their feet at once, each protesting against its adoption. Motion followed motion in quick suc- cession, the members of the committee defending the course taken. But this did not suit the temper of the delegates. A motlon to adopt, after the previous ques- tion had been put, was so close that the chair was in doubt, and even a division the fund is down to the extreme low water mark, consisting now of $176 74. In {he Eeneral fund there is ample cash. ‘The reposing there, however, cannot be touched for the salaries of the county In the past this has been done, but Treasurer llon has been advised that he has no right to pay salarles out of anything but the county fund. In the present dllemma the school teachers are the only unes that can af- ford to smile. These is $23,000 in the &chool fund, and the directors of youth- ful thought will not be turned away empty-handed on pay days. There was no smiling in the Courthouse to-day.

C., Sept. 5—This after- noon Myrtle O'Hara, a child of 7 years of age, flung herself out of a window of the Palace Hotel, thirty feet from the ground. She hung for a moment before she dropped, and a man standing below caught her, The child had been terrified ht of her father who.shortly chased her and her mother out of their home with a knife. platform met last | tion to adopt was defeated—$5 aves to 113 noes. No sooner had the result been declared than Delegate McEntee nom- inated Milimore, the chairman, and there Wwere many seconds. Delegate Bowlan named Less, after which the secretary prepared to call the roll. Less took the stage, however, and declined the nomination, after denying a statement published In an evening newspaper thgt he had attempted or in- tended to foist a slate on the conven- tion. Less was agaln brought before the con- vention as a candidaie for vice chair- man. J. E. Parry and R. I. Wisler were both nominated, but declined and Less was elected. Wynn and Byers were elected secretaries. Sergeant at Arms Mahoney was ordered so often to remain at his post at the door that he became piqued and declined to act. Willlam J. Lennon of the book- binders, John Desmond and,John Wilson were elected sergeants-at-arms. Considerable time was spent in a dis- cussion as to the proper time to hold the sessions of the cbnvention. Delegate May of the butchers suggested the nighttime, as many of the delegates were unable to leave their business during the day. He found many supporters, but after the convention sut into a hopeless tangle of motions and parliamentary propositions it was finally decided to meet again this morning at 10 o'clock and continue the session throughout the day and night in e e e e @ |OWA SOGIALISTS NAME A TIGKET Declare That Socialism Offers Solution of the Labor Problem.

Chairman Millmore {hen proceeded to name the committee on platform. Each union was represented by one delegate, making a committee of sixty-eight men bers. These were instructed to meet ir mediately after adjournment and con- tinue in session until they had com- pleted a platfrom for presentation as the first order of business this morning. The committee met last night at the headquarters of the Machinists’ Union, at Sixth and Shipley streets, and consid- ered the different planks to be submitted.
