Nebraska Conrcntlon la Voted to
Colnmhaa by a Vote of Eighteen'

llaatlnKs.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., June 20. That W. J. j
Bryan still holds the whip hand over tlia 1
democratic party of Nebraska nnd
through his brother, Charles, cracks the
whip In a way that oven the most ardent
antl-Bryanlst dare xnot dlBObey, was
made apparent this afternoon when after
repeated threatB that they held the- ma
jority In the state commltteo and would
show tho Bryons something, tho Hitch
cock crowd laid down on the Job and fed
out of the hands ot Brother Charlie and
wore that tliey liked the dose.
Tho state democratic committee met
this afternoon after several conferences
had been held during the forenoon and
most of the afternoon. Prior to the
meting many threats were made that
the committee would not submit to tho
dictation of the Bryans through V. IL
Thompson, chairman of the committee,
and would not stand for the appointment
of C. E. Kcmbel as secretary of tho com
mittee. Deft Passed Up.
In the voto on location of the state
convention, It waa shown that the anti
Bryan crowd had a majority of nearly
two to one, but notwithstanding, chair
man Thompson said that if It was a fight
ho proposed to fight, hla defl was passed
up and no attempt was made to shelve
Kembol. John Byrnes of Columbus was
the dove of peace. j
Ho complimented Chairman Thompson,
after Thompson had complimented him
and hoped that the committee would do
nothing that would look like a censure
of the chairman.
Albert F. Spragua of Tor, wn was
the Hitchcock candidate for secretary of
the commltteo against KembeU though
there were vote enough to elect hlra
took his .disappointment like a man and
acknowledged that he liked It.
princ Molda Srrny
Prince Charlie held sway in a little
side room near tho committee room and
was In constant communication with hla
advisors. Colonel John O. Maher, who
had uttered many a defl and issued many
a challenge to Prince Charlie and had
sworn that he would save the democrats
party from the royal family, left town
just before the meeting was called to
order and It wil now be In order for tho
colonel to Issue another epistle to tho
rhlllstlnos upon his return.
Tho stato convention was voted to Co
lumbus by a vote of IS to 11 for Hastings.
This seemed to be the mess of pottage
which satlsflod Byrnes and it is said that
Sprague. the Hitchcock candidate, will be
given the permanent secretaryship ot the
committee ofter tho state convention. This
appears to be the price set upon their
laying down on the Job at the request of
Brother Charles.

SHIP SINKS NEAR ST, LOUIS
Excursion Steamer Majestio Hits the
Cribbing at Water Tower.
ONE MAN IS UNACCOUNTED FOR
II mat Tlml Imnded Nln Hundred
People nt Alton nn llonr Earlier
and Was Uetnrnlna; to
the City.
ST, LOUIS. June SO. About forty per
sons were on the excursion steamboat
Majestio when It sank in the Mississippi
river near hero early today and of these
William Cuthbort of Peoria. Ill Is tho
only one unaccounted for.
The others either swam ashore, were
taken off In life boats, of which tho
steamer carried six, or found safety on
the upper deck, which remained above
water.
The collision occurred at 1 :J5 o'clock this
morning. The steamer an hour beforo
had discharged 900 excursionists at Alton,
III., and was headed for St Louts, twenty
five miles below.
The boat struck squarely against the
cribbing ot the new Intake tower 6f the
St. Louis water works, on which a red
light was burning, and sank. Tho water
did not cover the vessel, however, the
upper dock romalnlng abovo the surface,
and to this a number of persons on board
climbed after tho crash.
The accident occurred nt the Chaln-of-
nocks, a natural formation that starts
lrom the Missouri side fifteen miles abovo
the heart of the city and runs 2,000 feet
Into the stream, ottering a barrier to
navigation, around which steamers must
pass. The city Intake tower Is at the end
of this barrier.
The boat was owned by the Wlsherd
line of Qulncy, 111. It carried six lifeboats
and on these nineteen of the crew and
others escaped to the Missouri bank. Six
officers remained on tho upper deck and
were there when reporters and police of
ficers arrived an hour after tho accident.
Water works employes saw the vessel
come into view as It turned a bend Just
above the Chaln-of -Roc i A moment
later they heard a crash and the lights
of the vessel disappeared. The steamboat
had gone down bow foremost. Lacking
boats, tho water works employes wero
powerless to aid those on board and tele
phoned to police headquarters for assist
ance. There was a momentary panic on board
as the vessel struck tho cribbing and the
sleeping crew and band tumbled from
their berths. The main deck caught fire,
but tho flames were put out as the vessel
listed. The vessel then righted and sank,
only the upper deck and tho smokestacks
remaining visible as tho crew pulled away
In boats. Those who escaped to the Mis
souri shore built a bonflro, around which
they warmed themselves.
Artificial Control
of Sex Has- Passed
Experimental Stage
ATLANTIC CITY. June 20.-That the
artificial control of sex has passed the
experimental stage was the statement
made tonight by Or. Oscar Riddle, In
charge of tho evolution station of tho
Carnegie Institute. He was "addressing
the American Academy of Medicine,
which opened its twenty-Blxth annual
meeting today.
"The station Is propagating sexes at
will with plgon" and doves," Dr. nlddlo
said. "Tho sex ot frogs and toads Is
settled by manipulation and that of cat
tle, to aomo extent, can bo regulated
through fixing tho mating period."
As to humans, ho asserted, the extent
of sex control would depend upon the
success now being obtained by scientific
experiments with mammals. He would
not be surprised ho sad, if eventual suc
cess was achieved.
Dr. Estes Nicholas of Portland, Me.,
said tho present system of apartment
houses places a premium upon the rear
ing of children. Ho added that the build
ing of one homo abovo tho other, many
stories high. Is both unnatural and un
healthy. Another Effort

FLORENCE FAYORS .

Florence cltlsen havo had the heneflts
of annexation to Omaha brought force-
Hbly to their notice by the announcement
hat Florence taxes for the coming year
will run over 118 mills, a lovy which will
ho 37 mills higher than thn city ot Omaha. :
Following Is the statement of the situa
tion ns printed In the current Issue of
tho Florence Tribune:
From a few figures compiled by the
Tribune on comparison of taxes In this
city for tho coming year with those ot
Omahn, some Interesting, It not cheerful,
figures are obtained. That tho taxes In
Florence are going to be prohibitive un
less the supreme court decides that tho
Metropolitan Water district Bliall pay
taxes the samo as tho old Omaha Water
company, seems certain. '
Annexation the Thing:.
"It Is the concensus of opinion among
business men that annexation with
Omaha Is the only thing left open for
Floronce to do. That the exhorbltant
taxes can not bo met by a majority ot
tho home owners seems certain. At
present calculation Uie lovy will bo 118.5
mills on the assessed valuation ot tho
property, whtch Is one-fifth of tho ap
praised valuation. The owner of a home
valued at 13,000 will have to pay taxes
at the rate ot 118.5 mills on $1,000 valua
tion, or a .sum ot 8120. The taxes In
Omaha will be only 81.82 mills on the
dollar, about 37 mills lower than Florenco
taxes will be. But this Is not ull. Even
with this high rate ot taxation the city
will have only 8800 for the general fund
of tho city, out of which will havo to
como all of tho street nr.d alley work, as
well as all other Incidental oxpenses con-
nected with the running affairs of the
city.
Below aro a fow of the Items of ex
pense which tho city will have to make
preparations to meet during tho ensuing
year:
Interest an bonded debt 4.&S0
Officers' salaries 2,870
Water hydrant rentals
Electric street lighting 2,000

"It Is evident from tho foregoing fig
ures that tho nity can not ruiso una ;
amount of money. Something will have i
to bo out down The Interest on tho
bonded dobt can not bo reduced, neither
tun tho omcers' salaries, ine nyurani
rentals, street lighting or the fund neces
rary for tho Board of Health and flro
department. It will nil havo to come out ,
of tho appropriation set aside for the '
streets and alleys. Even though a single
dollar bo not spent on the streets the i
finances are going to he exhausted long I
before the fiscal year Is up. j
"The city will have an Income of but
little more than whut they can derive i
from the taxes collected from an assessed !
valuation of 8150,763 Including tho water j
