Knotted Nooses Lie on Table During Mine Owners Meeting DEMOCRATS WANT GRAY Kenny Would Rather Request Than Instruct and Preferred a Fight to Harmony. Dover, Delaware, June 7 Contrary to the expressed wish of Judge George Gray, tbe Delaware democratic state convention, by a unanimous vote today, instructed it delegates to the St. Louis convention to present l lie name of Judge Gray to the convention as the choice of the Delaware democrats for tbe presidency and to work for hia nomination. This action waa taken after one of the most stormy conventions ever held in the elate. Tbe leader of the opposition to tbe Gray men waa Former United Stales Senator Kfnny who waa opposed to the "instruct. He offered a resolution that the delegates be requested to place Judge Cray's name before the word national convention. The light between the Gray and the anti-Gra- y factions became ao bitter that tbe former paid no attention lo Judge Cray's letter in which he aaked that the delegatee be not instructed. They fought to defeat Klnny and would not listen to anything that hia supporters offered. Judge Gray'a letter expressed fa la great anxiety feu- harmony In the democratic party this year and held that the democratic national convention should be left free to select the candidate for president the strongest and most available man. He therefore requested that the delegates selected to represent Delaware democrats at St . Louis ba not hound by instructions. - Victor, June 7.

This evidence was a bundle of forty marked photographs found by IJriilciiant Keegan in the Union nail. On tbe back of some of tbe photographs was the name of James Cochrane, secretary of the union. The photographs were groups of men employed in tha various mines. The most important was a group of the night shift of the Vindicator. The photograph contains about twenty portrait!, five of which were numbered from one to five. On the back were written the names of the per aona numbered. Of tha five names, and those of Charles McCormick Mclbeck were crossed out. Those two were killed In the Vindicator explosion last November. On other photograph! aimilarly arranged. It la asserted, there are crossed out the names of some' of the men who have disappeared and whose whereabouts or departure are unknown. James Cochrane waa arraigned and taken Into the Mine Owners headquarters for a hearing. I do not know anything about these pictures, he aald, except that they were taken to show the scabs.
