By Cnl vernal Service.
Berlin. July 2.—A gruesome dis- ,
covery was made by the police of
Hanover, when they arrested a butch- (
er named Harrman on the charge of ,
wholesale murder.
According to police. Harrman has
confessed to having murdered as least .
seven boys and young men in his ,
home. The nrrest followed the finding |
of a sack containing five skulls and
divers bones of several persons near t
Hanover.
Harrman, police say. told them he ,
had cut the heads off his victims and j
had thrown their bodies into a river, |
but. the fact that the bones were
found in the sack has led the police ,
to believe that he sold the human

Several more persons are missing,
It is believed, the unmbers of victims
may be greater.

New York, July 2.—That stormy
jietrel of democratic politics. William
Jennings Bryan, added another tu
multuous chapter to his long career
today when he went before the demo
cratic national convention In an at
tempt to stem the tide of opposition
to William G. MeAdoo.
Interrupting an all day succession
of inconclusive ballots for a nominee
for the presidency, the three times
candidate of his party plunged the
convention into a near riot and fin
ally was all but driven from the plat
form hy heckling delegates and boo
ing galleries.
Besides Mr. MeAdoo. he mentioned
seven othr presidential aspirants who
would be satisfactory to him, but
none of them aroused more than
momentary enthusiasm and when the
balloting was resumed scarcely a vote
had been changed.
little Change.
Neither did the conferences of the
leaders during an ensuing recess ma
terially alter the situation, and the
convention went on Into another
night session with Its disagreement
over the nominations still In a jumble.
MeAdoo and Smith, both unable to
make material headway, kept their
relative places at the head of the list.
Daria of Weet Virginia lost a few
votea, but remained In third place,
and the supporters of Ralston of In
dlann became more active in present
ing the qualifications of their candi
date as a compromise selection.
The entire effect of Mr. Bryan'a ap
pearahoe before the convention was
not immediately apparent. The Me
Adoo men declared the Incident would
stimulate a new rally In the lagging
fortunes of the former treasury sec

Bryan had turned the trick for which
they had been waiting, and had rele

Resent "Lecturing.”
The most vociferous Interruptions
to the speech of the commoner came
from the galleries. Jammed with New
Yorkers rooting for Governor Smith,

of the delegates themselves resented

name was mentioned, and tried vainly

StUl Reeling.
Madison Square Garden, July 2.—
Still reeling under the effects of the
bombardment and counter attack
which swept the democratic national
convention late this afternoon when
William Jennings Brya took the plat
form for William G. McAdoo and was
put under & cross fire of questions
respecting McAdoo’t connections with
' oil" and tax refunds from the gov
ernment to corporations, the conven
tion assembled at 5 tonight for the
23th ballot.
The effect of Bryan's move and the
storm which accompanied tt was the
sole topic of discussion among the
leaders when the convention assem
bled. Who had been benefitted end
who had been hurt were the great
question*. There was an agreement
on all sides that if anything had been
necessary to solidify the Smith peo
ple. it was Bryan's reference to the
necessity for a candidate whose posi
tion was right ‘‘on the liquor ques
tion." It was obvious that Bryan had
brought out on the floor of the con
vention a subject which the McAdoo
neople had no relish for throwing
into open debate—the oil queetlon and
the tax refunds.
Ralston People Anxious.
Ths Ralston people were anxiously
looking about to estimate how their
• andidate had fared under Bryan's
open endorsement.
Senator Walsh of Montana, s de
clared supporter of McAdoo, had given
way in the chair for the night sec
sion to Senator Walsh of Massachu
setts. a declared supporter of Smith,
so that he may be saved any em
barrassment for clearing the galleries
of Smith rooters if they be came so
unruly as to stop the convention
proceedings as they had done at the
afternoon session when they snowed
Bryan down under a cloudburst of
howls, catcalls and uneom pitmen tar j
epithets.
Slowly ths total of ballots was
climbing towrard the records made at
Baltimore and san Francisco where
it took 4S and 44 respectively to find
a nominee. If nomination ware made
tonight, the record was In a fair way
to be broken. At tilt. Chairman
Walsh began traveling for order;
silenced tha band, waved delegates
and alternates to their seats, shook
a Leonine head at tha gallenea to
keep order and announced that Vy.
Frederick H. Knubell of the United
Lutheran churches would lead ir
prayer. ^

The New Tork police glee etut

convention managers f«lt that »om«
music was needed to sooth the ear age

taken, howex-er. on th# effectiveness
of the music; enoogh cops to com

The policemen closed their entsv
tainment with a medley of oW songs
concluding with "The Sidewalks of
New Tork.”
"Now to serious business," declared
Senator Walsh. "The clerk will call
the roll for th* Sfth ballot."
The old familiar "It votes for Oscar
Underwood” opened the proceedings.
McAdoo lost a half in Arison*,
which was given to Smith. The din
ner recess had not shaken Arkanaaa

California from McAdoo.
