Winston or Some Man From Country Suggested for the Governorship. Vrom a Staff Correspondent. St. Louis, July 7 Before going home, the leading: Minnesota demo crats assembled here are going to have some serious talks on the state situation and the makeup of the state ticket. All realize the opportunity to get back in the gunning and see the necessity of getting their feet under them for an aggressive state cam paign. Strong influences will be brought to bear to harmonize the Hearst and anti-Hearst factions At present they are openly hostile and suspicious of each other. This will retard a settle ment, and friction, if continued, will make democrats helpless and harm less in the state campaign The Hearst leaders have worked up hostilities to the Ramsey county "Tammany" represented by "Car dinal" O'Connor and the O'Briens, and are not disposed to consult with that element of the party. They insinuate that it is too close to the same influ nceg that nominated Dunn and will not make a real fight against him. For this reason the Hearst men are not looking for advice from Ramsey county as to the choice of a gover norship candidate or the management of the campaign. Bennett to Take a Hand. James R. Bennett, Jr, is now the recognized leader among the radical element in the state, and his triumph over Lind in the caucus Tuesday night will give him prestige. It is under stood he will take an active hand in shaping the state fight after returning home. The discussion of candidates has not reached a very definite stage. Borne sentiment favors the nomina tion of a strong Minneapolis demo crat to take advantage of the situa tion among' Hennepin republicans. John A. Johnson of St Peter is favor ably discussed, but because of friend ship for Lind and his alleged connec tion with Ramsey democracy, he is not favored by the Hearst men here. They realize the necessity of harmon- 5PM C*-RnACK AND 5EN. JONES' BUSY SECRETARY, NEO SEFTON lzlng the party, but are unwilling to lose the reins of control themselves Such a situation will naturally be pleasing to the republican leaders, who are hoping to see the dissension continue and a weak candidate named by the democrats. Winston Well Thought Of. W. W. Williams of Minneapolis has wired asking for a poll of the delega tion on F. Winston as candidate for governor The delegates declined to be polled, saying it was too early to express a choice However, Winston's name was favorably received by both parties to the* recent unpleasantness. The Hearst men recognize that after turning down Lind it is up to them to do something to heal up differences Winston is acceptable to all Hen nepin democrats, and they say he would carry the county by a big vote. The only question is how he would run in the country districts. Against him it is urged that a man like John A. Johnson, L. Brown of Winona, or Captain W Harries of Cale donia would run strong in the coun try, and, on account of the feeling in Hennepin and Ramsey, would also carry those counties The disposition here Is to go slow and not settle the governorship till the question is ripe. Lind Is Hesitant. John Lind still turns a deaf ear to all efforts to drag him into the gov ernorship race, but his Hennepin county friends are having some hopes tha" he will reconsider his withdrawal from the congressional contest Since reaching St Louis, Lind has been op portuned by John Sharp Williams, Champ Clark and other minority col leagues. They have put the question to him in the light of duty and em* phaslzed the need of his services in congress As a result of their efforts, Mr. Lind Is 'somewhat changing the tone of his conversation He still says that the governorship has no charms for him, and that he would not want the Continued on Second Page. tA% i^ FRANK A. DAY, Minnesotan, Charmed, Yet Uncon vinced, by Hill. CMSHED UNDER TONS OF ROCK Charles Franzen Killed by a Fall ing Wall on Ninth Avenue S. Charles A Franzen, 2402 Tenth avenue S, was instantly killed and Herman Gulbrandsen, 1103% Seventh street S, seriously injured by a fall ing wall at Third street and Ninth avenue S at 7 30 this morning. Franzen and Gulbrandsen were em ployed in excavating for the new bui'ding of the United States Radia tor company, and had been ordered by the foreman to dig near the wall of the Minnesota Linseed Oil Paint company, which adjoins the excava tion. The men had dug nearly three feet below the base of the founda tion wall, leaving a shelf eighteen inches wide Suddenly the sandy soil gave way and the wall was precipi tatad upon them. Franzen was caught beneath sev eral tons of rock and his body was badly crushed, his brains being liter ally strewn about the place Gulbrandsen was almost out of the way of the falling mass of stones, but was struck on the head by a small rock. He was taken to the city hos pital, suffering from cojncussion of the brain, but the Burgeons said there was no fracture, and he would re cover, i Coroner U. G. Williams will make an effort to learn whether the fore man ordered the men into a place that was obviously dangerous. An in quest, however, will not be held on account of the court ruling that an inquest can be held only when there is reason for the coroner to believe that death has come about thru crime. After the accident it was said by bystanders that the ground was too sandy to make it safe to dig three feet below the base of so heavy a wall and so close to it The wall which fell was eight feet high, built of heavy stone, and about fifteen feet long. Franzen, who was killed, was Just starting his second day's work on the excavation, having been employed yesterday.

The prisoners were tak en from the deputies, also the depu ties' guns, and they were ordered to return to town This order they obeyed. A short distance from where the masked men first appeared the depu ties saw a large band of masked men, numbering about fifty. Immediately upon returning to the city, the deputies told the sheriff's office and the military headquarters of their experience Details of the troops were sent out to search for the men. Sheriff Edward Bell also head ed a posse in pursuit, but both parties returned to the city after several hours* fruitless search The hunt has been resumed by the military.

FINLAND TO FEEL CZAR'S VENGEANCE Obolensky, the Cruel, Instructed to Avenge Blood of Bobrikoff. New York Sun Special Service. Berlin, July 7.The Russiflcation of Finland is to be continued under the cruel hand of Prince Obolensky. Russia, after all. seems to have de cided to punish Finland for the assas sination of Governor General Bobri koff If anyone can carry out a reign of vengeance it is Obolensky. He dis tinguished himself by his cruelty to peasants, especially to women, during the riots of Kharkov, in the spring of last year. Ill treatment of women by the Cossacks, conived at by Obolen sky, provoked so general and violent an outcry that even the submissive provincial council found courage to boycott him. His appointment as gov ernor general means that the Russifl cation of Finland will become a fact, or that rebellion w^ll fill the country with blood Prince Obolensky has arrived in Helsingfors with orders from the czar to initiate an immediate policy of re venge All Finnish and Swedish clubs will be abolished Leading Swedes, including the intellectual leaders of the community, will either be deported or exiled All Finnish and Swedish newspapers which have published arti cles sympathizing with the assassin and his family will be suppressed.

TOWNE, To Whom Is Traced the .Fight on John Lind. LIND DEFEAT AS TOWNE'S REYENGE Fight on Congressman in Minne sota Attributed to Enmity of Former Senator. From a Staff Correspondent. St. Louis, July 7.Friends of John Lind think they see the fine Italian hand of Charles A Towne, Tammany chieftain and erstwhile senator from Minnesota, In the action by the dele gation caucus Tuesday night. Tho Towne Is *iot a Hearst man, the nu cleus of the Hearst omvement in Min nesota was framed from Towne'a old lieutenants, who still feel a certain allegiance to him. James R. Bennett, Jr., who led the Hearst campaign in the state C. B. Vasaly, selected for the resolutions committee, and T. T. Hudson, new national committeeman, are all old sixth district men. Bennett has been keeping close to Towne and also staying with the Hearst delegates from Minnesota, so the element duster ed around Lind feels there is close connection between the plans of Towne and Lind's defeat for the resolutions Committee. It is said, witbka ~cfoow of reason, that relation** 3f|*iyF$%* Lin and Tbwne have ne/*,f*Jbeeft 'very cordial s'ince the senaJO^lmr *piso4e. Towne felt hurt because1 the appointment was first offered to Jtmge Collins land felt that his abilities Jand party services were hot properly appreciated. There is a suspicion among Lind's friends that this feeling had much to do with what they term the "anti-Lind com bine" formed in the delegation Some of the men who voted against Lind have expressed sorrow for the out come, but they were bound by caucus agreement and it Is not likely any amount of argument would have changed them. Northwesterners Quiet. As far as noise and the spectacular go, northwestern demoorats have cut little figure here. They have been modest, as becomes demoorats who cannot hope to give any electoral votes to the nominee.

Washington, July 7.The discreet inquiries of the state department into the object of the British Tibetan ex pedition, as related in yesterday's Associated Press cablegram from Lon don, discloses a curious fact, namely, that the British home government was lukewarm, if not absolutely in different in the matter of sending Younghusband's expedition toward Lhassa. Indeed, it is said here that Colonel Younghusband was allowed to go forward only to save the pride of Viceroy Curzon. The latter fan cied that he had not been treated with proper consideration by the half-wild Tibetans and, failing to se cure what he deemed due official rec ognition of the representative of the Indian government sent by him Into Tibet, he appealed to the home gov ernment for an armed escort to secure proper treatment for his envoys, and the home government reluctantly as sented. It Is said here that the Brit ish government has already in dicated its willingness to with draw the expedition as soon as it can obtain from the Tibetans promises of yielding the points at is sue. These are pledges of freedom of trade between the two countries and official recognition of the right of the British government's representa tive to exercise his functions in Tibet. The British are willing to retire on this basis the more readily because they are now satisfied that there is no danger from Russian encroach ments on India by way of Tibet, in view of the tremendous geographical obstacles. It Is stated that the British govern ment has welcomed the American overtures as emphasizing the deter mination of the American government to protect the integrity of China.

CHAMP CLARK, Permanent Chairman of Demooratic National Convention PARKER CERTAIN TURNER LOSING Washington Man's Vice Presi dential Boom Shows Signs of Weakening. From a Staff Correspondent. St. Louis, July 7.The action the Michigan delegation yesterday af ternoon in going to Parker under unit rules goes a good ways towards set tling the presidential nomination, and the time has about come for saying that Parker will be the choice of the convention. The anti-Parker forces have made a gallant fight and do not yet con cede defeat. They say they can de pend on 400 votes, but it is more dif ficult each hour to see where they will come from. The evident honesty of the anti-Parker claimants is one of the puzzling features of the situ ation. They undoubtedly believe they can win, and in proof they point to the claim that Parker has not yet got two-thirds of the convention. Conceding that perhaps a third of the convention is not for Parker, one must recognize that this third Is made up of elements utterly lacking in co hesion, and it lacks a leader great enough to give It a cohesive turn. If the anti-Parker forces are to go down, as now seems likely, it will be with colors flying. There are signs today of the weak ening of the Turner vice presidential boom. The remoteness of his loca tion, its relative unimportance politi cally, his record as a republican mar shal In Alabama: these are some of the latest arguments use against him. It transpires that New York, which has been complimenting him, has been doing the same thing with Mc Corkle of West Virgina, Wall of Wis consin and Kern of Indiana, with a view to helping Judge Parker. After Parker's nomination nobody knows what his friends will do about the vice presidency. Turner's friends claim his case is still better than that of any other candidate, but they con cede that the conditions which will dictate the vice, presidential nomina tion will not crystallize until the presi dency has been settled. Turner's record as a silver re publican and a populist, however, is against him, and it is driving from him many eastern delegates. Colonel Guffey of Pennsylvania voiced this opposition today when he said that no conservative democrat could sup port Turner. "We don't know what his political principles are," he added, "and if nominated and elected, he would be a standing menace to the party and country, for if Parker should die, we don't knew but he would out-Bryan Bryan." It Is noteworthy that both the great parties have this year given more careful thought to the vice presidency than has been given it within the memory of men now living. This is owing to McKinley's death. What happened to him may happen at any moment in the future, and both par ties seem more Inclined than ever be fore to select for second place on the tickets men of proper presidential size. It was this feeling that nominated Fairbanks at Chicago. It is this which is shaping sentiment at St. Louis this week. Turner's most dangerous compet itor is John Kern of Indiana, Tag gart of that state seems likely to be disappointed in his desire to be chair man of the national committee, altho he said today that he felt confident of success. His close Indiana friends, however, do not like the situation, and say openly they look for Taggart to be thrown down. If this should be the outcome, some thing must be done to placate Indiana, and this has led to the talk of Kern for vice president. He Is not a can didate, and his state Is not booming him, but if he is nominated he will ac cept. Kern front Bight State. He comes from the right state, po litically, aside from the bearing of the Taggert case, and besides he would poll something better than the straight democratic vote of Indiana, which is very important. Kern, while not a sliver man, supported Bryan loy ally both times He would therefore have Bryan's indorsement and would poll the solid Bryan vote of Indiana. He would also carry the gold demo cratic vote of that state, which for eight years has been republican. These are weighty considerations and must be taken Into account. They should be kept in mind by north western people who are following the candidacy of Turner. At present the nomination seems likely to go to one or the other of these men. Senator Carmack and Judge Har mon are spoken of In this connection, but the former is too fiery to suit the Parker majority and the latter is not even supported solidly by Ohio, nor is it known that he desires the nomi nation.

TICKET TONIGHT Chairman Clark Hopes to Be Able to Dispose of Nominations Today. Giant Orators of Democracy Ex pected to Contest Over Dis- putedJJeats. v^sr &m St. Louis, Mo., July 7.It was said to-day ON excellent authority that Mr. Bryan would make his greatest effort before the convention in speak-, ing to a minority report from the committee on credentials. He has se cured the proxy of Mr. Casper, the Nebraska member of the committee, and will himself present the minority report. At the same time it is under stood that he will not attempt to fight the report of the committee on reso lutions. With the prospect of a contest of giant orators over the adoption Of the report of the committee on cre dentials, the convention hall filled, early for the afternoon session. Long before the delegates began to arrive the galleries filled. The band gave a concert, which was appreciatively applauded and every number was en cored. Women again predominated among the spectators. The conven tion officials have managed to organ ize for more effeotive work. As he was going into the hall* Champ Clark said* "I have reoeived a cordial telegram from Senator Cockrell saying he would be glad for me to act as permanent chairman. If we don't get blocked I see no reason why we should not dis pose of the nomination for president* some time to-night. I shall call the vice chairman to the chair when Mis souri's name is called and will nomi nate Cockrell. I was determined no one should say that I had done any thing to endanger his chances." St. Louis, July 7.The morning session of the demooratic national convention today lasted less than an^ hour. There was a delay in calling it to order and at 11 o'clock it became^ necessary to take a recess until 2 o'clock to await reports from the com mittees on permanent organization and credentials. The committee on permanent or ganization met and elected Champ Clark as permanent chairman. The choice was unanimous ,The real cause for the delay was the INTRODUCING A FRiE.NO TO "T Ti 'J/\ MUjRPHY time needed to prepare the report of the committee on credentialsi. The committee disposed of the last early this morning, but was to have its report ready for the "eon vention. Bryan to Make Contest. An interesting feature of the pro ceedings before the committee on cre dentials was the appearance at 3 a.ra. of William J. Bryan, after the Illinois contest had been disposed of. He asked for a reconsideration of these cases that he might make a minority report. The committee ruled that no reconsideration was necessary, and Mr. Bryan was told to make his mi nority report. He asked those members who would sign it to stand up, and the delegates from Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Minne sota and Rhode Island arose. This action foreshadowed that Mr. Bryan would make a fight on the floor of the convention. The committee sustained the action of the national committee in all of the contested cases save that from the twenty-first Illinois district. The order maintained in the con vention hall this morning was a great improvement over yesterday, altho the proceedings were heard with difficulty, Report on Rules. ^V|&II The first business was the presen tation and adoption* of the report from the committee on rules.

At 10 o'clock, the time set for the opening of the second day of the con vention, not 100 delegates were in the hall There was general anticipation that the session would be brief and not over-exciting, the knowledge that the resolutions committee would not he ready to report the fact that Mr.Bryan, a member of that committee, was anx ious to mix up in the struggle over the report of the -committee on creden tials, and could not do so as long as he was working on resolutions, all combined to kill off interest for those who were in possession of any in* Continued on Second Page.
