ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. July l-In
view of 3,000 spectator, the big dirigible
balloon Akron was shattered by 'the ex
plosion of the gas bag at 6:S8 thl morn
ing a balf mile oft shore over Abaecon
iniet: .. " . . , ... ...
Metvln Vaniman, who bad built the alr
. ship with the Idea of flying across the
Atlantic ocean; Calvin Vaniman, ) his
younger brother; Fred Elmer, Walter
Guest and George Bourtillion, his crew,
were Instantly MUM. No trace of their
bodies has been discovered.
The dirigible was sailing at a height
- - of 1,006 feet and had been In the air since
6:15 o'clock when the accident occurred.
It "was quarter of a'mile south of
Brigantine Beach, which Is across the
Inlet from this city. The huge envelope,
containing thousands of cubic feet of gas,
was rent by the terrific explosion, prob
ably caused by expansion from the sun's
rays. '
It burst near the middle. 1 A mass of
flames hid the ship from view. For a
sprfce of perhaps ten seconds the haJf-mijlton-dollar
dirigible was Invisible, while
the air about the spot where it had been
hovering to be all flames..
Falls Like n Plummet.
The fire dissipated and then the ship,
outlined against the sunrise, was seen
to fall like a plummet. First the under
structure, .or car, in which were penned
the unfortunate men, held in by a mesh,
work put on after the second trip of the
balloon three weeks ago, unable to es
cape, broke away from the envelope. It
up-ended, the bow turning first, in a
alow arc. Then It reversed suddenly 'And
plunged downward,; Directly ; above,
"'twisting in a-Jong spiral, was he bag.1 a
emqklng mass of rubber . ana silk, with
flames" shooting out from a dozen see-
tions as It collapsed."' It fluttered rm

It the descent something which ap
peared to o the body or a man snot out
to the left of the. Wreckage and hit the
water before the rest of the descending
mass. It was reported that this was the
headless body of Calvin Vaniman. '
At 8:20 a. m. a message was relayed
ashore from rescuers that this body had
been recovered. . With. It came the state'
ment that Captain Lambert Parker of
the federal Ufetaving crew that this was
trueand that the other four members of
the crew-were entangled in the wreckage,
beyond reach for the present, in eighteen
feet of water.
. Thousands of persons from every part
of the resort are gathered along the Inlet,
board walk and about the Vaniman cot
tage, just across from the hangar at the
Inlet, where Mrs. Vaniman collapsed and
became unconscious from the shock.
. The greatest excitement prevailed for a
time. Boats ,were starting out from, the
inlet and alt along the shores of the
thoroughfare and beach; Police reserves
who helped to launch the craft, which
sailed along gracefully until the accident
occurred, kept the crowds from about the
Vaniman villa,
Second Flight of Year.
The flight was the second that the air
ship had taken - this year. After tinker
ing all winter on the ship Vaniman took
the Akron out for a short flight on
Saturday morning, June 1. At that time
the balloon was nearly wrecked by some
of the mechanism glng wrong, but It
was landed without .serious mishap.
The longest flight the balloon made
was last fall when it spent the greatest
part of the day in the air In the vicinity
ef this city. At tfiat time the gas in the
bag was not : sufficient to keep the big
ship constantly in the air and it had to
make several landings. During the win

lessons learned in that flight' v
id general appearance the Akron was
hot ' unlike the America in which Walter
Wellman and Vaniman attempted to
cross the Atlantic ocean In October, 1910,
but there were many differences ,in the
. eonstruotion. The' gas ' bag was thirty
Ceet longer than that of the America, but
was smaller in diameter." The dimensions
were: Lenth of bag, 258 feet, diameter
forty-seven feet .The bag was made of a

BALTIMORE, July 2.-Senator Bank-
head, referring to the withdrawal of Mr.
Underwood, spoke as follows:
. "Air. ; Underwood entered this contest
hoping that he might secure the , nomi
nation from this convention, but I desire
to say for him that his first and greatest
hope was that through this movement he
might be able to eliminate and eradicate
for all time every remaining vestige of
factional ' feeling in this country., (Ap.
plause.)
"Mr. Underwood today will willingly
and anxiously forego this nomination if
he" has succeeded and if the country has
concluded that Mason and Dixon's line
has been tramped out and this is once
more a united country. (Applause.)
We have demonstrated here, my
friends, in my judgment, that no longer
sectional feeling exists. (Applause.) The
liberal support that Mr. Underwood ha3
had from the east satisfies us that , if
an opportunity were offered to nominate
this splendid man, the people there are
ready and would hasten to his aid.
"Mr. Underwood did not enter, this con
test to defeat any man's nomination.
His only hope was that the great record
that he has made as leader ; of the
democracy, his hope was that what he
had . accomplished for the democracy
of this country, would, secure . the
election of a democrat at the' election
next November. (Applause.) - He has al
ways said, 'I take no personal part , in
this campaign; I have not the time,'
Mis First Duty.
"He said: 'I have a full man's work
marked out for me in Washington, and
my first duty is to make it possible to
elect a' democrat, whoever the-nominee
may be.' Upon that high ground he
stands today; upon that high ground he
will stand tomorrow and all other days.
He has no concern, my friends about his
own nomination or election beyond that
which naturally comes to every man who
feels he is thoroughly equipped and qual
ified for that high office. But I think
the time has come when it is. demon
strated that he cannot be nominated in
this convention; and br cannot be used to
defeatths nomination of any ether Van-,
didate." (Lend applause.y - -' y'
J"He a,nd his friends everywhere stand
ready to . give the nominee of thia con
vention their hearty . support He , has
stood upon every platform that has been
wrtUen - since 1896.-He-wlll stend upon
any platform, that, thia ,oiiyentlon; . may
write. I would not undertake knowtn
him as I do, to say that all of Its planks
and I don't know What they - are
would meet his judgment, but he is a
democrat and stands for the success of
his party."
A delegate: "Vice president." -Senator
Bankhead: "Vice, president
no. (Applause.) No friend of ' the demo
cratic party would dare suggest to -.take
that : man . from his present position (ap
plause) if . they cannot . elevate' him ' to
the highest office In the land. Vice presi
dent? Anybody can sit In the vice presi
dent's chair. (Laughter). It is a kind of
an ornament. Even I, as humble as I
am, could sit in that chair and say:
'The gentleman . from New York moves
to adjourn (laughter), and that is all.
(Laughter). .... ...
"This great democrat the democracy's
best asset; "this great' democrat, who has
made it possible for the democratic party
to win In the next contest, 'Will stay
where he is and perform the duties that
he has been performing without com
plaint. To take that man from the field
of usefulness and construction .that he
now occupies would be a crime, unless
he can be promoted to the presidential
chair, the only promotion that yon could
give him. I hope that no gentleman here
will suggest his name for vice president.
He has repeatedly said: 'No,' and he
is a man who stands by bis word.
' Vaderwood la Withdrawn.
"Now, my friends, one more word and
I will conclude." Senator Bankhead was
Interrupted by calls from delegates on
the floor. The chair having restored
order, the senator continued: -"Now,' one
word and I am through. Mr. Underwood
directs me as the humble servant . by
whom -his campaign has been conducted
to withdraw his name from-before , this
convention. (Applause). He directs me
further to thank most sincerely those de
voted friends who have stood by him so

In a statement tonight sold that the nomi

slve platform ' meant an overwhelming
victory for - the democratic ticket next
fall. ,
Mr. Bryan said:
"I feel sure that the action of the con
vention thus far will appeal to the coun
try. I had no choice among progressive
candidates, but from the first included
Governor Wilson In every list I had oe
casjon to make. His action in coming
out strongly against Mr. Parker for tem
porary chairman was the turning point
in his campaign. The country Is progres
sive. ' Nearly all of the democratic paAy
and more than half of the ' republican
party are progressiva. , '
"The paramount . question before the
convention was whether we , would take
sides with the reactionaries and thus en
courage the organization of a, third .party
and. give to the third party ( the hope of
defeating the, reactionaries divided into
two parties or . whether ; we would nomi
nate a ticket that would so appeal to the
progressive element of the nation as to
make a third party Improbable.

the Iowa republican members of congress
to agree upon a slate for the, federal post

Is believed here that should the delegation
agree upon recommendations the appoint- j

previous efforts to have a caucus failed.
Word from Washington Is that the mem

Judge Dillon's strength came frcm

The platform adopted was declared to

I he long fight was oyer. ' . '
r. Only. four, ballots, er necessary today
to reach a nomination. When the con
vention adjourned jast night this conven
tion had seemed to ba in an all but hope
lens deadlock.' VUson had begun to lose
ground on the last few billots and Champ
Clark had mads a few temporary gains.
This encouraged, the speaker to rush over
to Baltimore from Washington this morn
ing In the hope of still further turning
the tide and ' rallying ' his, forces to a
final stand. ' 1 .-
. Whqn the speaker arrived, however, he
learned that the Illinois delegation' at an
early morning conference had decided to
switch from Clark to 'Wilson, this meant
a change of fifty-eight votes arid7 was as
fatal to Clark's chances as It was in
spiring to the Wilson forces. t- ;
The Wilson forces went to the -convention
hall at noon In the' firm belief that
the New Jersey governor would be norn-:
inated 'before another adjournment '' was
taken. As they had expected,' the vote
of Illinois "marked the beginning of the
end. West Virginia Joined hands ' With
Illinois in going over, to Wilson on the
forty-third ballot, the first cast today.
Wilaon Orvin Ttapldly.,
Wilson jumped from his final vote of
494 last night to 802,. on. the first ballot
today. The figures told their, own story.
The Wlhson delegates were Jubilant as
Chairman James directed the second call
of the day, the forty:fourth of the con
vention. The most. Important change on
this ballot was in the Colorado delega
tion, which had been voting eleven for
Clark and .one for Wilson. .This time
Colorado divided ten to two in favor ot
Wilson..
Altogether the ultimate nominee gained
twenty-seven votes on this ballot Then
came the forty-fifth. It was disappointing
in a way, for Clark hold his own and
WtiMon made a gain of only four.
There were few In the hall at this time
who did not believe Wilson would win,
but they feared it would take a long,
long while for him s to attain the 725
votes necessary to nominate. It was real
ized that there must be a decided break
in the Underwood vote,-which had held
firm from ' the beginning, ' before any
man could win. ,
