5 THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK. FRIDAY. JULY 10. 1908.

REAL ENTHUSIASM! HE STILL LOVES FAMILY they went out the door, but I never suspected that ehe was not coming back." Miss Retzer met Kelly in St. Mary's Hospital when she went to visit her brother. Joseph Retzer. who shot himself at Saratoga avenue and Macon street on April 3, and who died June 29. Kelly was one of the officers who was sent to the hospital to watch the wounded man under arrest.

Kelly and Miss Retzer became good friends in short order and he afterward called her home. Mrs. Retzer speaks as thouerh she would like to aid In making trouble for Kelly. She la almost prostrated by tha disappearance of her daughter, Anna, who was a glovemaker and a pretty girl with many admirers. She was the eldest of five daughters.

1 I gg tl 1 -fli Ik ii i 0MW 1 ir- I -l-i, i'-iI-- mi- il 'Ii li-l1 i BRYAN His Vote Was 892 Johnson Got 46 and speeches which moved them frequently to outbursts of fresh excitement. It had been expected- that the platform would be ready fo- adoption at 7 o'clock in the evening, when the night session began. But at that hour the committee on resolutions was stjll struggling with the planks relating to the currency, the tariff, the Mormon question and other Important subjects. A committee appointed by the convention to learn how goon the platform would be ready reported that l' A-ould be midnight before the document was ready for the consideration of the convention. Thereupon, on motion ol Congressman Ollle James of Kentucky, the regular order of procedure was suspended, and the convention proceeded to call the roll of states for nominations for the presidency, with rnderstanding that the nominating and' seconding speeches would be made without the final vote until the platform had been adopted.

At 9 o'clock the nominating speeches began, and delegates and spectators were stirred with eager expectancy as the supreme and long-deferred work of nominating the presidential candidate was begun. Alabama Yields to Nebraska, Bryan's State. Alabama, the first state on the roll call, yielded to Nebraska, the home. State of Bryan, whose spokesman, the youth-' ful orator, Ignatius J. Dunn of.

Omaha, advanced to the platform. He spoke In good voice, with great earnestness and to a sympathetic audience, who greeted each utterance of tribute to the Nebraska leader with demonstrative evidence of approval. His concluding passage was a fervid tribute to the Commoner as the intrepid leader who had borne aloft the banner; carried the flag of Democracy through the campaigns of 1896 and 1900, with the devotion and faith of the Crusaders of old days, "America's great Commoner, Nebraska's gifted son, William J. Bryan." This was the signal for a long-continued uproar, rivaling in Intensity and duration the demonstration of Wednesday, which lasted one hour and twenty-six minutes. Again, the whole assemblage was lashed Into a fury of excitement.

The delegates seized the state standards and gathered them on the presiding officer's platform, while the galleries broke into a tumultuous clamor. The demo-stratlon lasted upward of forty-five minutes. At times it assumed such proportions of madness as the excited throngs rushed through the aisles toward the platform that there was serious danger of panic. Men and women were bowled over in the mad onrush of flag-bearing enthusiasts. One woman fainted and was carried from the hall.

Nomination of Johnson Caused a Whirlwind. The nomination of Governor Johnson of Minnesota precipitated another whirlwind of excitement, if not so long sustained, hardly less enthusiastic than for Bryan. The delegation from Minnesota, standing on their chairs and waving flags, handkerchiefs, hats and anything that could bo waved, were the storm center of the demonstration, while groups of scattered delegates here and there lent their energy to those of Minnesota. The galleries, too, seemed to contain an ample supply of Johnson enthusiasm, and on every hand the waves of Johnson demonstration swept back and forth from end to end throur1- the great building. Whca it had lasted- onsiderable timer the convention office sought to restore order.

The sergeant-at-arms ordered to eat the yelling delegates, and every effort was made to bring the convention bark to a state of subjection, but in vain. The demonstration went on with unabated fury until It had spent Itself after more than a quarter of an hour of vociferous tumult. The Gray nomination also received its full share of enthusiasm, although the nominating speech of Irving L. Handy of Delaware was frequently Interrupted by the impatient crowd, and Anally by the arrival of the committee on resolutions bearing the completed platform. It was after midnight when the nominating speeches were temporarily suspended to receive the report of the committee.

Governor Haskell nf Oklahoma, chairman of the committee, mado the report, announcing at the outset that It was presented as the unanimous view of the committee, the entire membership of which ranged themselves on tho platform flanking Governor Hasl-ell aj an evidence of their united attitude.

NO TRACE OF ANNA RETZER. Girl's Mother Thought Kelly Was a Single Man Police Puzzled by the Case. Patrolman Daniel E. Kelly, who left his wife ami three small children at tholr home, 17 ijomcrs street, Friday night with $3,500 in his pocket, visited the home of Anna Relzer. 1380 DeKalb avenue, and then went off with her "for a walk," has made a lot of trouble for himself.

Captain James Shevliti of the Ftaluh avenue station to-day forwarded a complaint to Commissioner Bingham, charging Kelly with having been absent live diys without leave. According to tho rule this means that tho missing officer is liable to be dropped from the force. The general alarm sent out for Kelly and the girl also means that he is liable to arrest for abandonment. The wife of the missing officer, Mrs. Kelly, is in a delicate condition and is almost prostrated with grief.

Her three children, Edward, James, 7, and Anna, 2, cry most of the tlma for their father. Each night since he went away a week ago they have knelt with their mother and prayed for his return. "It matters not to me or the children where he is or what he has done; we love him and we want him home," said Mrs. Kelly. "We do not want his money.

We loved him before he got It and we love him Just the same now. Dan has always been a good husband during the eleven years we have been married and he never left us Of his own accord. "Dan loved me and loved his children. Why, It Is only a short tjmo ago that he bought a Utile altar for Edward, our elder son, who wants to become a priest. My husband never drank, smoked or chewed, nnd ho spent most of his time when not at work with me and the children.

"If he has gone away with anybody It must have been when ho was under some strange influence. Ho acted the same ns usual the night he returned home after a visit to the surrogate's office, where he had received the $3,500 left him by his uncle. After dinner he went out, saying he was going to pay his dues In a society. That was the last time I saw him. "No.

He had a cozy home on the second floor of Ihe house at the Vomers street, mldress nnd a very good reputation among the members of the 'orce with whom ho had associated since hlR appointment.

Total, 1 Announcement Signal for Wild Demonstration. The announcement of the vote was the aignal for a wild demonstration, equalling In turbulence. If not In duration, the recording breaking display which on Wednesday afternoon, greeted the first mention of Mr. Bryan's name In the contention. The scene within the amphitheater at the moment the nomination was made was one of stirring animation.

From pit to dome the vast building was packed with 10,000 people, thinned out in the remoter galleries after hours of "ailing and the Intense diacomforta of ihe hot night. It was a spectacle of Brand proportions tier on tier and gallery on gallery of agitated forms, the women In white, the delegates massed below, many of them coatless, a myriad of fans fluttering to combat the stifling heat and close atmosphere of the long bent Mil 1lhrsn rrioj to spring Into feverish outbreaks of enthusiasm, and everywhere the blaze of flags, bunting and patriotic devices and the enveloping folds of Old Clory. Twde before the throng had been moved Into a mad ecstacy, first by the speech placing the name of Bryan In nomination, and again when that of Governor Johnson of Minnesota was presented, but these msn-ifestatlons paled before the culinlnatlug outburst of emotion. The Whole Assemblage Bose enMaase As the announcement of the Nebrask-an's actual nomination was made, the whole assemblage rose en masse, waving flags, handkerchiefs, newspapers, hats and coats, anything and everything which hands could lay upon, to wave aloft or hurl Into the air. while a bedlam of sound poured out from these throats in exultant vnli Comanche warwnoops, with the added din of shrieking horns, tho roar of megaphones and the strains of the band playing an exultant anthem.

When for moment order could be secured out of this tempestuous chaos of demonstration, state after state which had at first recorded its vole for John-son or Grav. tell Intn iin overmastering column and the nomlna- uauu unanimous and by acclamation. New York Cast 78 Votes for Bryan. The taking of the vote had been fol-lowed with breathliss Intercut as state after state swelled the Bryan strength. When New York as reached in the call of states tho announcement of Chief Murphy "78 votes for Bryan" brought out a wild outburst of enthusiastic ap-proval, which 'or a time compelled the of tho roll call.

A further de- causcu ay a nemanci tor a poll of tho New York delegation. On this poll, many of the New York delegates. Including Judge Alton B. I'arker, the president lal nominee four years ago, remained silent, but the entire 78 votes of tho delegation were cast for Bryan under the "unit rule." Pennsylvania was similarly called, after sharp disagreement within the delegation and the vote of Pennsylvania as finally cast was divided Convention Adjourned at 3:50 This Horning. The convention adjourned at 3:50 o'clock this morning, until 1 P.M., after having been in session continuously for more than eight hours.

As the delegates and spectators left the hall, the echoea of enthusiasm continued to reverberate throughout the building, while crowds outside took up the shout and bore It along the dark and silent streets, awakening the city just as the first pale rays of dawn were breaking In the East, with the resounding chorus of "Bryan, Bryan, Bryan." It remains now only to nomlnata the candidate for vice president and the work of the convention Is concluded. This nomination will be made this afternoon. Absorbed with the Intense Interest of the night tho delegates had little time to devote to the consideration of the vice presidency and the final canvass of available candidates Is being hurriedly made this morning. Most of the delegates were utterly wearied after the long vigils end nerve-racking agitations of the night and It was late to-day before the men of action began again to take up threads of discussion over the still rather chaotic presidential situation. Listened for Hours to the Nominating Speeches.

Prior to the nominating scene in the hall when the nomination- of Bryan was made, the assemblage bad listened for hours to tho oratory of nominating CLEANING THE TREES Park Department Ends Its Work on Park Slope. Eesidents Asked to Help Prevent the Reappearance of Tussock Moth Next Year. For some days employes of the Part Department have been very busily at work on the I'ork Slope in an effort to clean the trees of thai, section and relieve them of the hordes of caterpillars and tussock moths that, have Infested them. Tho work Is now practically completed und the Bcction is enjoying immunity from the pests that have for some time co-operated with the heat to make lift seem unbearable. Wherever trees hnve been thus cleaned the following notice, printed on a substantial card, has been left with the householders Tho tree In front of yuur house Is now froeti front Insect pests.

In order to ovoid another horde of caterpillars It Is necessary to remove nil Insect cocoons and esu-niasses which you will ttnd adhering lo your fence, tioop und house wall. These cocoons and egg-tnasscs will produce another Invasion of caterpillars and re-Infest your tree unless you tajta Immediate iu'tn to remove and burn them. Your co-operation is earnestly requested. The cards are signed by Park Commissioner M. J.

Kennedy and are distributed by the foremen in charge of the men engaged in the work. Tho Park Department and the Flatbush Taxpayers' Association are very earnest In asking that the Instructions be compiled with, but the Park Department Is anxious that It. be known that there Is not the slightest use In duing what the card advises before the trees havo been cleaned, as under'; such circumstances the labor Involved would simply be wasted energy. The Park Slope is the only section of the borough that the Park Department has dono this work In systematically as yet, but complaints are beginning to be lieard from other sertlcns, and it is very likely that the atteution of the insect exterminators will be turned to the distriels which are most plagued with the tiny pests. Tho caterpillars not only ruin the trees, but they have art extremely unpleasant hublt of dropping from the leaves and branthe.a onto, the heads and shoulders of pedestrians.

Judge Parker of New York, ex-Senator Smith of New Jersey and Senator Newlands of Nevada had been united in opposition to any expression on the subject.

Senator Smith provoked a long debate by an amendment to tho tariff plank suggesting the necessity of recognizing tho cost of labor In revising the tariff schedules, but it was strongly opposed by his colleagues on the committee, and was finally withdrawn, as it was said, upon receipt of a request by telegraph from Mr. Bryan himself. Ex-Senator Dubois of Idaho proposed an antirpolygamy. plank which waa finally defeated by a tie vote of 20 to 20. In this connection a telegram from Mr.

Bryan to his brother here, in response to an inquiry on tho subject, was read as follows: "I have not taken any part or exercised any opinion on the subject referred to in your telegram. There are several states especially interested in that subject and I think they should all be permitted to present their views and that the committee on resolutions should then decide the question according to its judgment. It will not be influenced one way or the other by me." Was Bryan Nominated on Friday. It will always be a question whether Bryan was nominated officially on Friday. According to the big clock in the convention hall It was still a few minutes before midnight on Thursday, the Sith of July.

It was a superstitious serzeant-at-artna who arranged for the week without, a Friday, and he put his Idea Into effect without consulting any one. Having accomplished his purpose, the cheers of the Democrats assembled proved the unanimous adoption of the sergeant's mental resolution. When the hands of the clock In the auditorium last ninht pointed close to the hour of twelve the superstitious sergeant climbed to the top of the railing opposite the speakers' platform and stopped time in lia flight. The cheers which followed indicated that the assembly and visitors did not want to see Important business transacted on Friday. Mrs.

Ruth perhaps the most Interested person In the assemblage, remained during the entire night, wit-nesning first the demonstration when her father wjr nominated by acclamation, the excited yelling when his seconds made their speeches and the lesser cheers received by the two rival candidates. Johnson and Gray. Not until the votes had been enst and her father Indorsed by the convention as its unanimous choice to bear the standards of tho party did she leave her seat in her box at the south end of the auditorium and Join the crowd hurrying homeward. Whenever enthusiasm at the mention of the great leader's name broke louse all eyes wcro turned toward Mrs. Leavitt, who.

smiling and happy, listened to the ovations accorded her father. Many of tho delegates did not go to bed at all after the close of the session, but coming out of tho convention hail iuto what soon became broad daylight, walked the streets till breakfast time or took early trolley rides through the empty streets to suburbs. The rotundas of the various hotels and tho. sidewalks in front of them were almost crowded In tho dim light of dawn with sleepy-eyed men talking of the exciting scenes which they had witnessed and of the nomination of the Vice President yet to be made.
