LINCOLN, Slay 11. (Special Telegram.)
ludge K. P. Holmes of Lincoln raptured
the iAneaster delegation to the republican
Congressional convention In the county con
vention held here today. He won out on tlia
forty-fourth ballot, after a session of bal
loting lasting from 2.30 until 10 o'clock.
I'M ill Clark made him poselblo by changing
his homo prcrlnct, over which he had such
I tight yesterday, from Clark to Holmes.
At the time of the change of the Clark
rotes Holme had 810, which, with the 19
liven him by Clark, made 8 more than
enough. The stampede began thin In ear
nest and the vote wax finally made unani
mous, amid the wildest excitement. Judge
Holme will go to the convention with
seventy-seven delegates of lila own naming.
The Burlington machine, which backed
Clark flret, with Holmes as second choice,
'made every effort to land Clark, but it
was too much divided to deliver the goodH.
It then began to flirt with Holmes in an
effort to frighten Frost Into coming to
Clark, but this failed. Holmes' stock was
near the winning point several times, but
1'rost stood pat. The machine then went
lim-k to Clurk, but It wa-s evident Clark
ronld not bo made. Tom Mungcr wan
taken tip and (Mark dropped, but after a
few ballots, In which Mungcr pained from
II to w votes, the Clark men went to
lolnir again, and this time In earnest,
Vially landing him.
Owing to the solid backing each candi
Jiile had there could bo no combinations
hh'Jc. The Burlington machine made a
lumber of efforts to adjourn the convention
for an hour or two. but the motion on roll
rail was voted down each time.
The vote before the nomination stood:
Tlark, 90; Frost, 173; Holmes, 100; Munger,
ii'it; McKesson, 11; Warner. 14.
The convention was called to order by
,'nunty Chairman Itoberts and Senator
Hurkett was selected chairman. The bal
otlng began without any formalities and
if pt up until the finish.

KEARNEY. Neb., .May 11. (Special
Telegram.) The opening nesslon of the
State Conference of Charities and Correc
tions was held at the city hall last night.
The meeting was called to order by the
president, U. D. Hayward. and prayer was
offered by Rev. Jacob Flook. President
Hayward briefly stated the objects of the
conference and called upon John X. Dryden,
who delivered the address of welcome. Re
sKnse was made by Dr. A. W. Clark of
Omaha, who stated that all had heard of
Kearney and the spirit of cordiality which
existed here. 1'resldent Hayward s annual
address, which camo next, was a most
creditable effort, and showed that he had
given much thought and study to the work
In which he Is engaged.
The feature of the evening was the pa
per by I'rof. Edward A. Ross on "Social
Evolution and the War Against Sin."
This morning, after prayer by Rev.
Frazcr, the conference listened to two pa
pers. The first was by Rev. Father Reus
ing of West Point on "Care for the Des
titute Aged." It was full of I bought and
suggestion and was highly i.pprcciate.1.
The other was by Prof. Frank P. lleskctt,
superintendant of llio Nclirimk.i hildivn s
Home society, on "Limitations of Inheri
tance." The afternoon session wis held at the
Industrial school. Jude Wih.ir F. Hryar.t
spoke on the Juvenile court law, saving,
In part:
The fundamental idea of a luveiiile
court law is purely sociological. Then? is
nothing ethical about it. Tne right to
enact such a law is the right ut self
preservation. The chief objection urged
against such enactments ' Interference
with parental right. Now, I will make the
bold assertion that parental light, as the
term is popularly understood, is a chimera
of the imagination, a factlcss fiction, a
mummitled myth and a relegated relic of
barbarism. I freely coneede that the fam
ily is I lie natural unit of society, and that
government began In the family. The re
lation of parent and child is a natural
relation. Parental authority commences
at birth, but when docs It end? In
ancient Rome it ended with the death of
the parent. The same is true In China. I
defy you to name any other natural epoch
at which it should end. But with us, the
boy passes from the father's control the
day before he Is 21 years old.
if your son, 8 years old, commits a
crime he can be arrested and taken from
your control, and the state can forbid
you seeing him. You cannot do with that
child according to your own sweet will.
Punish him brutally and you are guilty
of assault and battery. Y'ou are required
by the state to provide for his support
or go to the penitentiary for not doing so.
The state compels you to send him to
school. It can compel the child to submit
to quarantine and vaccination laws In spite
of vour constraint.
It is In the power of the legislature of
this state to take every child in the state
out from parental control. What then is
the conclusion oi the whole mailer : iou
are holding your child as the trustee of
society. Your natural affection is your
guaranty to society that you will not
abuse that trust. If you do abuse It. the
state society in the aggregate interferes,
Now. under what nhase of logical deduc
tion will you argue that the state can take
your child from you after he has become a
criminal and cannot interfere to prevent
his becoming a criminal?
the detective's cheek and finding lodgment
at his foot. He readily gained his com
posure and proceeded with his explanation
of what was done after I.uce ly prostrated
with two bullets piercing his head.
On cross-examination the prisoner showed
signs-of nervous prostration and would re
peatedly leave the witness stnnd to Illus
trate Incidents in spite of protests by his
counsel. In this manner he showed the
Jury his position while firing the two bul
lets that entered the body of David O.
I.uce and was much out of harmony with
the direction of the bullet mnrks on the
door where they found lodgment after pass
ing through the body. Witness further de.
tiled every mntorlal allegation testified to
by the different witnesses for the prosecu
tion In which they attributed damaging
confessions to him In Interviews had.
The defense has examined about half of
Its witnesses and hopes to be able to get
In all Its evidence some time tomorrow.

State Rests and Defendant Takes the
Stand.
AINSWORTH, Neb., May 11. (Special
) Telegram.) The state has made out Its
case In the Hans murder trial so far as
the Introduction of testimony Is concerned
ml the opinion generally expressed Is
1 hat the proof falls short of expectations
iid that Hans will be found not guilty.
Zach Foster, the witness who swore out
i he warrant for the arrest of Luce, the
serving of which resulted In this trial, was
placed on the witness stand by the de
fense this morning much to the surprise
of the state, since he did not testiry at
the former trial. His testimony was very
pointed and strongly In behalf of the de
fendant. The effort by the state to dis
credit bis evidence on cross-examination
by questioning his dealings with cattla
I rustlers fell flat of Its own weight. The
strong point made by the state, that blood
marks were dlscernable in different parts
of the house, thus Indicating a scuffle on
the part of Luce for his life, was disproved
by the defense when they placed on the
stand William Slonecker, the party prepar
lng the body for burial. He testified that
those blood stains were caused by the
garments removed from the body and
placed on the floor and trunk at the time.
His testimony also refuted that William
Luce, brother of the murdered man, by
saying that the coat In evidence and
marked with blood stains was placed on
the body for burial first, but replaced with
a better one at the request of said William
Luce, thus accounting for the stains on the
garment, of which the state' was careful
to make a minute account.
It has been the Intention of the defense
not to place F. M. Hans on the witness
stand in his own behalf, but when court
convened after dinner It was decided other
wise and the accused was in the box over
two hours, during which time he gave a
history of the entire case up to the tUno
of the shooting of Luce. When he reached
the point where he fired the first shot more
or less emotion was noticed throughout the
audience, and lis he described his exit from
the house and meeting the little girl, who
heard the shots and Inquired If papa wan
killed, a lone tear was seen trickling down

head and arms.
Yard. Mrs. H. C, Brooklyn: bruised, 10
months' baby was Injured.
Ofllclal Version of Cause.
There are various stories of how the
wreck occurred, but the official version is
as follows:
About 1 :41 o'clock the engine on an east
bound freight train was flagged by the
crew of a shifting engine ahead on the
same track. The engineer quickly put on
his airbrakes and the train, an unusually
long one, came to a sudden halt. The
strain on the air valves was a severe one
and a connecting air hose In the middle of
the train blew out. This caused the middle
of the train to "buckle" and the damaged
cars fell over on the passenger tracks. Just
as this happened the Cleveland F.xprcss
came up and "side swiped" the wreck. The
express was stopped within Its own length
and the third sleeper was opposite the
wrecked cars. Before any one could leave
the passenger train, which was not very
badly damaged, a few slight explosions oc
curred, and then there was one, great flash
and roar that shook the earth. The whole
affair occurred within a period of a few
Bcconds.
Wreck Takes Fire.
A scene of horror followed the explosion
of the dynamite. The passenger cars and
some of the freight cars Instantly took fire.
As the reverberation of the terrific ex
plosion died away across the Susquehanna
river, the agonizing cries of the Injured
could be heard. Men and women came
tumbling and climbing from the car win
dows and crawled from under the wreck
age. Shortly afterward another explosion oc
curred. Fearing that the entire freight
train might be loaded with dynamite no one
dared go near the wreck. Finally the rail
road men who knew the contents of the
burning freight train led the way and the
uninjured passengers followed.
Scores of those who were trapped In their
sleeping berths or pinioned under wreckage
were taken out and laid in the field badly
hurt,
F.ntlre Trala Consumed.
The advancing of the fire drove the
rescuers back as they were about to take
others from the wreck and the unfortu
nates, men and women, were soon en
veloped in the flames. The cries nf the
dying were heartrending but nothing
could be done for them.
An alarm of fire was sent In but when
the firemen reached the scene the flames
had done their work. The entire train
was consumed. With the firemen came a
corps of physicians from the city. As
quickly as the Injured were temporarily
relieved of, pain they were placed on special
trains and trolley cars and hurried to the
hospital here.
Bodies Horribly Mangled.
Several hundred railicad laborers were
on the spot within an hour and by day
break thir number had been Increased to
a thousand. It was a gruesome task for
the railroad men. Not one whole body
was found in the wreck. Either an arm
or a leg or all four limbs were burned off
the trunk and In several cases only por
tions of the trunks were found. Ten
charred bodies were found under one Pull
man car. It is the belief of the railroad
officials that if the explosion had not oc
curred there would have been no loss of
life.
Coroner Krouse empaneled a Jury which
viewed the bodies this afternoon. He will
begin taking testimony tomorrow. Tin
physicians and nurses at the Harrlsburg
hospital, assisted by the trustees and mem
tiers of the board of women managers, have
been working Incessantly since the first
Injured were taken there at 2:30 this
morning. The hospital Is crowded to the
doors and row after row of cots now oc
cupy the wards.
The sidewalks around the building had
been crowded since early morning with
persons anxious to see the injured. The
crush for admittance waa so great that
It was necessary to place police at each
entrance.
Women Safer Great!?.
The women In the wreck suffered greatly
and many ef those who escaped were found
almost naked. Among hos who cot out
9 tt
without Injury were Mrs. Albert J. Burr,
wife of the editor of the Pittsburg Post,
and her two daughters, who were on their
way to Pittsburg. They were taken to the
hospital, where one of the attending physl
clans gave them attention and then sent
them to his home.
Mr. and Mrs. Tlndell of Pittsburg, the
atter the daughter of Cnlted States Sen
ator' P. C. Knox, were slightly Injured by
flying glass. They walked from the scene
of the wreck to Steelton, where they called
up Governor Pennypaoker by telephone
and explained their condition. They were
brought to the executive mansion, where
they were furnished with clothing and
medical attention.
When daylight broke upon Market street
this morning the pedestrians on the capital
clt.v's principal thoroughfare presented a
grotesque appearance. In the districts
where the hotels are located men who had
passed through the wreck without injuries
or merely slight ones, and who had de
clined to take rooms In the hotels liecau.se
there were wearied women who needed the
rooms, walked around with nothing on save
rain coats and bed room slippers, and a
few of them had merely bath robes and
overshoes. It was not long, however, after
the sleeping city began to learn of the
catastrophe that every one was amply pro
vided for.

which was approved. This pavilion will
cover about two-thirds of the space of the
Nebraska pavilion at St, I.ouls and will be
similar In design. It being In reality a hand
some little Nebraska state building under
the roof of the Agricultural palace. It will
contain besides a large amount of space of
agricultural exhibits, reception and con
venience rooms for Nebraska visitors,
offices of the commission and the moving
picture theater, seating 100 persons. Ne
braska's position In the Agricultural palace
Is an admirable one and It Is expected that
the state will attract as much attention at
Portland as It did at St. I.ouls.
The commissioners, with William James,
superintendent of ugrlculture, who Is look
ing to the shipment of exhibits, will leave
shortly for Portland to superintend the In
stallation and be present at the opening
ceremonies of the exposition.
H. O. Shedd, secretary of the Nebraska
commission to the Portland exposition, has
received the following letter from John H.
McGlbbons, secretary of awards for the 81.
Louis exposition. There has been much
complaint upon the part of Nebraska exhi
bitors over the failure to receive their
awards upon material shown at St. I.ouls.
Such exhibitors will be pleased at the an
nouncement contained In the letter:
Tour letter of the 2rtth Is received, and In
reply you are advise that a diploma and
medal will be Issued to each exhibitor who
received an award, without cost to him.
The first batch of the diplomas have Just
arrived from the engraver, and their dls-
trlhutlon will soon begin and continue as
fast aa they arrive. AH diplomas and
medals will lie delivered within a few
months. The distribution of diplomas and

Members to the Order In Ne
braska Itenialn l.oyal to
Stipreitie Lodge,
The eleventh biennial convention of the
grand lodge of Ancient Order of Cnlted
Workmen In Nebraska closed Us sessloa in
South Omaha Thursday afternoon. During
the morning session the election of a grand
receiver, a grand guide, grand watchman
and grand trustee was held, as the election
on Wednesday for these offices did not re
sult In a choice. Following Is the result of
the election: Grand receiver, W. A. Grcen
wald of Falls City; grand guide, Frank K.
Stump of Lincoln; grand watchman. Kills
R. Erway of Chsdron; grand trustee, J. H.
Bennett of McCook.
Aside from the election there was little
done at the morning session.
The afternoon was taken up mostly with a
discussion of the rate qsostlon. The follow
ing rates plus Jl will be the rate for the
next two years:
Age. Jl.wm. J2,onn. Age. Il.ooo. IV.
l-:-4 l.r.c c 140-44 40c Son
LB-J 2V 40c 45-49 4.1c 90c
30-34 : hoc I 50 and over.. 50c 11.00
35-39 35c 70c
A number of amendments to the above
rates were offered, but were voted down.
The opinion seemed to be that the Ne
braska Jurisdiction would be able to carry
out a number of reforms under the new
system and that the membership of the
order will rapidly Increase. It was decided
by the delegates to remain loyal to the su
preme lodge.
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon Judge Robe
son of Texas Installed the newly elected
officers. In this work he was assisted by
former Grand Master Schultz of Beatrice.
At the close of the session It was stated
that no meeting nf the grand lodge was
ever held under such a diversity of opin
ions. However, the best of feeling pre
vailed all through the sessions. -
The creation of an emergency fund meets
with groat favor, as It practically makes
the Jurisdiction self-sustaining.
After the Installation of officers Grand
Master Van Dyke spoke eloquently of the
order and was followed by a number of the
members.
A vote of thanks was given to Jaeob
Jaskalck, the retiring grand master work
man, on the impartial manner In which he
presided over the convention. Delegates
were paid at the conclusion of the session,
the total cost of the convention amounting
to about HO.nuo.
J. G. Tate, former supreme and grand
master workman of Nebraska, received an
ovation when he arose to address the con
vention Just before adjourning.
RIDES ON WINGS OF STORM
llloe Heron Is Carried from Hanacona
Park Krvrral Blocks by
the Wind.
A blue heron, one of the few rare bird
at Hanscom park, was blown out of Its
habitat by the storm last night and car
ried several blocks away to the residence
of Jam?s C. Dahlman, LSKH Hickory street.
The bird, stunned and motionless, was
found on the lawn about 8 o'clock by Mrs.
Dahlman, who put It In the cellar and no
tified the caretakers at the park. When
a man came to carry the bird home in
his arms, the blue heron hud revived and.
put up a stiff fight against being taken
away from the Dahlman home,' which it
seemed to fancy.
The heron is one of a pair given to the,
Tark commission some time ago. Th
other one broke Its leg and died, as did
the pelican, which Uied to eat some sar
dines and contracted ptomaine poisoning.
The Hnnsconi jiark green house' was lit
tle Injured by the hail, only about nix
