Victims of Wreck

Sad Pictures Seen Upon the Streets
of Pueblo When Funerals
Occurred.
PUEBLO, Colo., Aug. 10, The beauty
of today .was marred for hundreds of
Pueblo citizens who witnessed the pass
age of friends and relatives whose
bodies were being conveyed to their final ;
resting places.
Early In the day all preparations had
been completed for the funerals. The
undertakers nnd liverymen were se
verely taxed In supplying hearses and
vehicles, but nil were (finally accommo
dated and soon long lines Avere wending
their way to the various cemeteries.
Many bodies were sent to other cities
last night and today.
Many Sad Scenes.
Sad indeed were some of the pictures
to behold; Instances of father and moth
er being borne to the grave followed by
three and four orphan children were not
rare. Downtown the streets were
crowded with people watching the pro
cessions and business was almost at a
standstill.
The search for victims, which has
been so faithfully conducted the past
two days, was resumed at dawn today,
but the chances of further recovery of
dead grows fainter as time passes, al
though many persons supposed to be
victims are as yet unaccounted for.
Twenty-Eight Still Missing.
The work of Identifying the victims
has begm dlfTlcult, but perhaps not more
so than In many other similar cases.
The names have been duplicated and
quadruplicated with trilling variations,
until the lists have been swelled to even
more than 100. The list of Identified
dead, as reported this morning, with the
addition of the bodies recovered yester
day, numbers seventy-one, with three
still unidentified and twenty-eight miss
ing. Ghouls Plunder Dead.
The Coroner's jury was brought to
gether again this morning and resumed
its Investigations. A mass of evidence
is being collected, though of little
consequence, but has resulted in bring
ing out tne iact mat a party or ghouls
was driven from Its nefarious work by
officers, who say, however, that they se
cured little plunder. The holding of
bodies for ransom has also developed.
More Victims Identified.
Carl Prince of Aurora, 111., was iden
tified as one of the two bodies remain
ing in the morgue this afternoon. An
other one of the unidentified bodies was
recognized shortly before 11 o'clock
this morning as being Mrs, Ada Camp
bell of Pueblo. This leaves two uni
dentified bodies in the morgue.
The wrecking crews succeeded In en
tering the overturned chair car this
morning, but no bodies were found.
This was about the last place where
bodies were expected to ,be found at
the scene of the wreck and any fur
ther discoveries will probably be made
further down the river or dug from the
sand.
Body of Miss Davis Found.
Miss Minneola Davis of Pueblo was
found by a searching party late this
afternoon and Identified tonight. At S
o'clock tonight there Is but one uniden
tified victim, a woman between 40 and
50 years of age.
ANXIOUS TO END STRIKE.
Chicago Strikers Have Called Samuel
Gompers to Aid in Settlement.
CHICAGO. Aug. 10. An nn evidence
that the Ktrlkera are eocloua to bring
about a peace conference o.nd to end the
strike, they have solicited tho. Interven
tion of Samuel Gompers. profldent. of
tho American Federation of Labor.
It Is said to be the plan for Mr. Gom
pers to act au a mediator and do his ut
most to arrange a meeting with the
representatives of the packers.
A conference between the Retail Meat
Dealers' union ended this afternoon
with the appointment of a commlHsion
which will visit the- packers tomorrow
and make another effort to settle the
Btockyards strike-
Shutting Off Ice Supply.
Extension of the picket lines about
wholesale and retail markets was also
promised by union officials. A confer
ence of the leaders was held and plans
were made to shut off Ice and meat
from more establishments patronizing
the big packers.
Despite all efforts of commission men
today's receipts of live stock were so
heavy as to astonish the packers.
There were 23,000 cattle; 2.ri,000 hogs and
1G.00O sheep. "With the New York pack
ing plants closed by the strikers, the
disposal of all the receipts was admit
ted to be a dlfTlcult problem.
Prize Fights Stop.
Prize fights for the entertainment of
the non-union workmen at the stock
yards may cease as the result of 'an ac
cident that caused the cancellation of a
programme of three bouts lost night.
The prize ring was In the Interior of
the stock yards on Packers avenue.
Daniel Smith, employed as a strike
breaker by Morris & Co., was pitted
against Peter Ford. Both men are col
ored. Smith struck Ford on the head
with such force that Smith's arm was
shattered and the programme was de
clared off. The police are said to have
been given orders to prevent any fur
ther prize fights in the yards.

ARID STATES
President Popular in
the West.
States Selected by Taggart
for Democratic Killing ,
Are Republican.
Leaders of Democracy Making Great
' Bluff to Divert Attention From
Doubtful Ground.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. Republi
can leaders do not view with concern
Tom Taggarfs talk' about gaining the
Rocky fountain States, including Colo
rado, Utah, Montana and Idaho, for
the Democracy. If there Is one sec
tion In the whole country more than
another where the President is popu
lar, It Is said, 't Is right in the States
enumerated by Chairman Taggart for
a Democratic killing.
Democratic leaders, It Is suggested by
well-informed Republicans, would bet
ter look to their fences In certain
States usually classed as surely Demo
cratic Missouri is one of these; for,
despite District Attorney Folk'9 nomi
nation for Governor, there are indica
tions of wholesale cutting df the Demo
cratic ticket, especially In bt. Louis.
St. Louis Falling in Line.
It Is known that the Democratic
Congressional committee virtually has
given up hope of carrying the two for
mer Democratic districts in St. Louis.
Representative Bartholdt is now the
only Republican member from St. Louis,
but It Is believed that all three city
districts will elect Republicans to Con
gress In November.
James J. Butler, who has been un
seated twice because of cJe,ciIorifoaucDi
In' his district. Is determined that' n5
other Democrat shall be elected there,
and Butler, It Is known, will not run
.again. Butler, In fact, boasts that he
will defeat Folk In St. Louis, and may
cause him to lose the State. Repre
sentative Cochran, another Missouri
Democrat, may be defeated this year
in the St. Joseph district, for he al
ready Is having the light of his life to
win support. Cochran Is a sliver Dem
ocrat, and many of his party will not
support him further.
What Democrats Face.
A Republican, gain of at least two
Congress seats, probably three and pos
sibly five, In Missouri faces the Demo
crats, and they do not relish the situa
tion In that old Bourbon State.
Outlook in Wisconsin.
Concerning trie situation In Wiscon
sin, and It Is understood that the stal
wart faction, of which Payne Is one of
the. leaders, much as It wishes to defeat
Gov. La Follette, will not take the re
sponsibility of losing the State to Presi
dent Roosevelt by carrying the factional
fight too far. Mr. Payne has given as
surances, seconded by Senator Spooner
and Representative Babcock, that n
Republican majority for the State'fe
electors surely will be secured.
Speakers' Campaign.
It has been agreed virtually that the
vigorous speakers campaign which the
Republicans intend to conduct this year
will not begin Until September 15.
Chairman Cortelyou will prepare the
Itinerary, aided by Representative
Tawney, In Chicago headquarters, and
the Eastern members of the executive
committee In New York.

West Virginian Stricken at Desk at
Republican Headquarters.

ginia was taken suddenly 111 today at

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 10. Again
the chance of a decisive battle be
tween General Kuorpatkln and the
commander of the Japanese army
seems to be disappearing. According
to a statement Issued by the general
staff tonight, rains are again falling
over a wide area of Manchuria, with
the prospect of Impeding operations,
but even more important is the infor
mation reaching the Associated Press
tonight from an exceptional source
that the Japanese have once more de
layed too long.
Gen. Ivuropatkln has now withdrawn
theb ulk of his army safely north of
Llao Yang, leaving only a strong rear
line to contest the advance when It
comes.
According to this information, the
Japanese have about SOO.OOO men In the
armies operating against Kuropatkin,
rendering it too numerous for him to
risk a general engagement.
The general staff has no informa
tion bearing on the reported presence
of a largo force of Japanese at Pait
huhl, a place that cannot be located on
available maps. The report agrees,
however, with the general tenor of the
Information received by the Associated
Press and here given, that Gen. Kuro

fop Mining Congress
Salt Lake Prepared to Make Larger
Inducements Than Other
Cities.
PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 10. The pro
gramme lias been completed for the
American Mlnliig Congress, the sessions
of which will bo held in this city from
August 22 to 27.
The list of speakers Includes some of
the most prominent men In the country,
and from the character of the subjects
that have been selected for the address
es, the promise that the coming con
gress will be the most Important In his
tory may well be expected to be ful
filled. Although the day set for the. opening
session Is yet two weeks hence, candi
dates for next year's congress are ap
pearing. The first application was re
ceived about the middle of July and was
from Cincinnati. O. More ambitious
than these arc Denver, Salt Lake, Oma
ha and several other cities of the Mid
dle West, which have aspirations to bo
come the permanent home of the con
gress. Edward G. Rolnert, editor of the
Dally Mining Record of Denver, is here
looking after the Interests of his city.
According to Mr. Relnert, Denver has
the lead In the race and will make every
effort to stay there.
"Denver," pays Relnert, "is the logical
home of the organization. It Itf the gato
of the West, and the metropolis of a
large mining State. It will make offers
of real estate and perhaps money for
the privilege of having the permanent
head of the organization located there."
However, Salt Lake Is prepared to
make large Inducements and claims that
she has. quite as many qualifications as
has her eastern neighbor. Omaha has
advantages which she proposes shall be
forcibly brought to tho attention of the
congress, not the least of which is that
of being more centrally located.
Whatever the outcome may be, a live
ly and exceedingly spirited contest is
destined to take place.
MOTHER BREAKS DOWN.
Sacrifices Her All in Defense of
Daughter Accused of Murder.
ALEDO, 111., Aug. 10. After sacrific
ing her all In defense of her daughter
from a charge of murder, the aged and
white-haired mother of Miss Tona Dun
lap Is breaking down from the weight
of grief and trouble, and Is expected
yet to furnish the secrets of one of the
most remarkable death mysteries of
Illinois.
Mrs. Dunlap was found wandering
about the Edwards river bottom, near
her home In Aledo, two nights ago. Her
dress was tattered and wet and her sil
very hair was Hying loose. She wan
dered from home In the middle of the
night from the torture of her mind.
"My mind Is wrong It Is,full of trou
ble," was all the unfortunate mother
would say to those who rescued her.
Tona Dunlap, her daughter, was ac
quitted of the murder of a girl chum,
Allle Dool, at Aledo, last December.
Allle Dool died after eating chocolate
candles containing strychnine, said to
have been given her by Tona Dunlap.
The widowed mother was the pa
thetic, silent heroine of the trial. The
case against her daughter seemed
conclusive. -The girl was In jail for
months, and the trial Jasted four
weeks.
The aged mother still Is believed to
hold the secret of the tragic mystery.
FIFTEEN YEARS IN HOUSE.
Man Forty Years Old, Resident of
New York, Sees First Trolley Car.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10. Mrs. Theresa
Born, SI years old, and her son Paul. 10
years old, have been removed to a hos
pital from a back room In a Bleecker
street house where they had existed
fifteen years without having set foot In
the street.
The son saw a trolley car for the first
time while on his way to the hospital,
and he became greatly excited when he
was carried to a room there in an ele
vator. '
Fifteen years ago Paul fell-slck. He
was attended by hl3 mother, and when
their means fnlle,d they were sustained
by agents of various charitable organ
izations and by neighbors. Recently
the mother was stricken with paraly
sis, and Paul's condition rapidly grew
worse from lack of food and care.
Finally neighbors became alarmed
for fear both would starve to death,
and notified the authorities, who re
moved the invalids to the hospital none
too soon.

Champ Clark Conveys tha H
Information in a IH
Presents Democratic Candidate' With ll
Notification and a tiopy of
the Platform.
ESOPUS, N. Y.t Aug. 10. Judge Alton
E. Parker was today formally notified IH
of his nomination for President bj; the
St. Louis convention. Congressman iH
Champ Clark of Missouri delivered the
address of notification on behalf of the 11
committee. Mr. Clark spoke as fol- 11
Mr. Clark's Address.
Judge Parker: Tho most momentous po- lH
lltical performance known among men is lH
the qu.'idrcnuinl election of an American IH
President. Tho supremo executive power lH
of SO.CO0.0OO free people changes hands with lH
simplest ceremony und most perfect or- ll
der. While the contest for votes Is waged ll
with earnestness and enthusiasm some- lH
times with much heat und bitterness tho flH
ready acceptance of the result by tho de- ZH
fcatcd Is the surest augury of tho perpet- KH
uity of our Institutions. Presidents come lH
and Presidents go, but the great Rcpub- lH
11c freighted with the hopes of the hu- IH
man race for liberty goes on forever.
All history proves that a government lH
bottomed on popular suffrage Is a govern- lH
ment by party. Experience shows that ho NH
serves his party best who serves his coun- iuH
try beat. Tho names most fondly cher- nH
lsncd arc those of men ho devoted their
time, their energies, their talents, their
fortunes and their lives to the promotion
of the public weal. Stronger incentive to
high and patriotic endeavor no man hath
than the . hope to stand through all tho
ages In that goodly company.
Result of Convention.
Out of the masterly debates and pro
found deliberations of the St. Loula con
ventlon emerged a reunited .party, which
goes forth conquering and to conquer. Tho
liower of the Democracy assembled there
to consult on the state of tho country and i
to take measures for restoring tho gov- j
crnmont to the principles enunciated by 'H
iiiu miners, irum wmcn il huh uruieu lur tfM
in theso latter days. Every phase of ujH
Democratic opinion was represented by H
brave, honest and able champions in that lH
great conclave of free and patriotic men. VH
The St. Louis convention carried out no kH
cui-and-drled programme. Its delegates IfH
were not mere automatons or marionettes iil
waving and talking when the strings wero IfH
pulled by one man. Speech and action iiH
