Repeated appeals were made for fair play, to which the chairman, bent on his purpose, gave a deaf ear. Then it was that the Palmer men became desperate, realizing that the Cobleighiles had resolved to deliberately steal the nomination from Palmer. No Palmer man could get a hearing, cilliw from the chairman or the convention, so great was the tumult, but Congressman Palmer, with quIcTi forethought, secured from t»ie three tellers a signed statement on paper declaring the vote for Congressman to be Palmer 161, Cobleigh „ 141, and showing him to have a clear majority of 20 votes. Tills paper the Congressman presented to the chairman and demanded that he announce the result to the convention. Dr. Lake declared it out of order. The Congressman then demanded that the paper be returned to him, whereupon Dr. Lake deliberately tore it Into a doeen pieces, rolled thein into a ball and threw it upon the floor. There was a struggle for possession of the Thaw Against White. "I was ill In a hospital two weeks ago when Stanford White came to see me. He told me that Harry Thaw had threatened to kill him and that he knew that Thaw was carrying a pistol. I advised him to have Thaw arrested. Mr. White said to me: Three Tellers. Allentown, June 27.—A platoon of the State Constabulary, which Is on duty In this city, in connection with the street car strike, tired into a crowd last night and injured a boy. The police were riding past Fourth and Hamilton streets, when they were greeted with yells by a large crowd congregated at that point. Two of the State policemen arrested two men and started with them for the Jail, a half block away. A crowd of 2,000 persons, attracted by the arrest, quickly gathered and stones wuio thrown at the State police. The helmet of F. Markrantz, a State policeman, was smashed with a brick. In the melee that followed one of the men arrested escaped. The police, being hard pressed by the crowd that followed them, turned and tired a shot into the air and then shot low. A bullet struck Harry B. Winkle, a 13-year-old boy, in the leg and ho was taken to a hospital. Chief of Police Bower and several city policemen arrived at thCr jail as the State police brought in their remaining prisoner and the two troopers who were accused of doing the shooting were locked up.

Later in the evening, the Cobleigh followers assembled and held a rump convention, nominating another ticket, with Coblelgh at the head. If the contest is carried to the courts by the Cobleigh men, the Palmer adherents are prepared to prove Mr. Palmer's legal right to the nomination, and it can be put down as certain that Mr. Palmer's name will appear at the head of the Republican county ticket 011 the oflicial ballot. wai the loneliest place in the State Not since thi*'assassination of Colonel James Fisk, Jr., by Edward S.

And Gold street? There never was gold there, but the street did run along the foot of an elevation known as "Golden hill" because of the profusion of yellow wild flowers that crowned it in the spring. Then ensued the most exciting moment of the whole convention. In a second several hundred delegates surrounded the chairman, the Palmer men demanding that he give them fair and the Coblelgh men urging him to stand his ground. One Palmer adherent became so incensed at Dr. Lake's action in tearing up the teller's oflicial statement that he landed the Doctor a blow behind the ear, throwing Lake clear oft' the platform and upon the floor. The man who struck the blow was hustled off the stage by a couple of policemen and escorted out of the premises and released.

A significant feature of the trolley strike situation Is that Mayor Schaeffer has requested Col. Harry C.i Trexler, president of the Lehlgfli Valley Transit Co., and Orlando C. Miller, secretary of the local union of the street car employes and a~~discharged motorman, to meet htm In conference at his office. The strikers look to this a-s the entering wedge to an adjustment of the difficulties, as the company officials had hitherto refused to treat with the men except individually. Mrs. Thaw sailed on Saturday on the Atlantic Transport liner Minneapolis at 6 o'clock in the morning. She is on her way to visit her daughter Alice, now the Countess, of Yarmouth, wife of ihe Earl of Yarmouth. As stated in the Gazette last evening, there was a great burst of enthusiasm among the Palmer delegates as soon as those who were keeping tally of the vote discovered that he had received a majority of the SOS delegates' in the whole convention, which entitled him to the nomination. The call, ing of the roll was completed amid much excitement. Friends of Mr. Palmer crowded on the platform to congratulate him, and about the same time, the Coblelgh men, realizing that Palmer had gained the nomination, resolved 011 desperate methods to .secure a decision in favor of their man. Dozens of Cobleigh men leaped to the platform, shouting and gesticulating. They claimed that Palmer did not have a majority, notwithstanding? the fact that tho Uu«e tellers, on finishing their eoUrit, declared most emphatically that'the vole stood 104 for. Palmer to 144 for Cobleigh. There were a few contested seats and the report of the committee on these was not received before the balloting began, as It should have been. The intention hail been to receive the report of the committee at the close of the roll call and allow delegates who had been given seatn by the committee to record their votes. However, before the last name on the regular roll had been called, everybody who had been keeping tally, including the official tellers, knew for » certainty that Palmer had. won. Even though all of the contested seats had been given to Coblelgh, they would not have sufficed to give him the nomination. DECISION IS AFFIRMED. •Then thwe is Bowling Green.
