JOHNSON BOOMERS RENEW OLD HOPE Say Failure on First Ballot Will Be Fatal to hig Bryan. DELEGATES ARRIVE AND ENLIVEN CITY Draft of Radical Planks Aimed at Congress Completed—Parker Makes Apologies. By I. C. WELLIVER. DENVER, July 4—The Johnson Wooomers are outlining their argument to be made to secure votes. They say ‘Johnson and Bryan represent vitally \ifferent things in the Democratic party. Johnson, they insist, is taking Jef (ferson as his model, and believes in only so much government as is abso lutely necessary. He is against the cen tralizing tendencies of the times, and thinks them filled with danger to our institutions. Bryan, on the other hand, they say, $s either a copy of Roosevelt, or Roose velt is a copy of Bryan. Whichever way it is looked at, Johnson men claim that Bryan is the supporter of the ma jor Rcosevelt policies, and with them the doctrine of enlarging powers of cen trai government. Bryan's declarations in favor of Gov ernment ownership of railways and tele graph companies is pointed out as one evidence of his bias. The Democratic party, say Jchnson men, is the party ‘of Jefferson, as opposed to the party of lAlexander Hamilton. Follower of Jefferson. It has stood on this ground now for }100 years. Just about 100 years ago Jef 'ferson and Hamilton were battling t¢ determine whether the new government! should be a government by the peopie controlled from the bottom, or an oli garchy, coatrolled from the top. The ibartle ‘hen, as now, goes to the very sheart of populs government as worked wut in America.

3 S RIE BSS:

This argument does not fall on un willing ears. Prominent Democrat: give it respe-.ful attention, but fea: that the Br:z.ua hypnotism is so great as to male Bryan's nomination cer tain. Bu: they like argument macs in Johasc:"s name, and say almost with cone voice wnat if Bryan should fail te be nominated on the first ballot, the jig would be un with him.

I came In rom Omaha with two of the delegates frcm Arkansas, who are instructed for Bryan. These men told

e that Johnson was strong in that

tate, and that the delegation would vote for Bryan only one time. After that, should there be other ballots, they will be for Johnson,

Favor Johnson. These delegates and others from that State will sit in at a conference of Johneon men. It has been estimated by Johnson managers that there are ng fewer than 300 delegates who stand on similar zround to that occupied by the two delegates from Arkansas, and who are, In their hearts, for Johnson.

As bearing on this matter of Bryan's unpopularity, it is said, on authority of men recently arrived here from Georgia, that about ten J"vs ago a straw ballot was taken by proprictors of the cigar stand in the lobby of the Kimball hotel in Atlanta. Each mar was asked to vote for his first choice for Presidential nomination, and poll: were kept open for two days. The count show 256 votes for Roosevelt, 8 for Taft, 74 for Johnson, and only 1 for Bryan.

Bureau A NEW YORK WING MORNING GAME Makes Five Hits and Four Runs ‘in Seventh Inning. VIOLENT PROTEST ABOUT ELBERFELD Although Suspended, He Butts in and Saves Day by Changing Pitchers—Clymer Fails, EE MEE EHH Hh iE EIEmE——————., EE A A

Washington dropped the morning ball game to New York today by to 1. The sad result was due to one of the loudest explosions of a noisy day, that of Bert Keeley, the Washington pitcher, who made a boom like a ton of dyna mite in the seventh inning and allowed five hits for four runs. Up to that time it was one of the fastest and cleanest games of the year, with plenty of sen sational fielding and daring attempts at inside baseball, which yore spec tacular, even though unsuccessful. When the dust of the bomb stunt had subsided nothing was to be seen but a twisted mass of blasted hopes.

Washington had a great chance to nearly tie the score in its own half of the fatal seventh, but missed fire be cause that comical but provoking young genius, Umpire Egan, refused to enforce the rules of the game. With one out Charley Street tripled, Freeman was hit by a pitched ball, and Altizer walk ed, fllling the bases. Manning's useful ness 4s a pitcher was seen to be over, and Lake was ordered to the mound. Elberfeld Cuts In. Clymer went to bat for McBride and Lake began by giving him two bad balls. At this point Kid Elberfeld, the New York manager, cut into the game. Elberfeid is under indefinite suspen sion for a row with Umpire O’'Loughlir. in New York, but, contrary to the rules and regulations, occupied a box by the New York bench, whenca he bossed his team’s operations. He arose in his seat and let out a mighty roar for Doc New ton to jump into the breach and finish the bout with Clymer. Newton was down by the clubhouse in center field and it took much yelling and gesticula tion from Elberfeld to attract the at tention of his henchman. Captain Ganley and Manager Cantil lon protested violently for Washington, but it did no good, as Egan declined to chase Elberfeld or prevent him from exercising his managerial authority. Newton finally tumbled to what was wanted, supplanted Lake after that in dividual had pitched but the two balls, and struck out Clymer. Cates batted for Keeley and also succumbed to the shoots of the southpaw who had been so boisterously rung into the proceed irgs.

Both sides played a great fielding game until the seventh inning. Milan's throw from center tu the plate in the first inning, which cut off 2a run, was the star feature, but two great bits of ground covering by Keeley were also prominent. First Up Scores. New York began early, the first man up scoring. Hemphill walk2d in the first inning, took second on Keeler's saorifice, and tallied on Moriarity's single to center. Moriarity stole second and tried to finish the circuit on Stahl's single to center, but was caught on Milan's splendid throw to Street. Washington tied it up in the sixth in ning. McBride walked and Keeley sac rificed. Milan's double to center scored MeBride. The seventh was a sadsome sight. Stahl died painiessly. Altizer to Free man. Then came the deluge. Harrowing Details. Conroy singled and advanced a bass on Kileinow's single. Keeley tried to catch Conroy napping at second, made a wild throw, and Conroy took thira. Blair's Texas Leaguer to right sent Conroy over the piate, when he should have been no further than third. Mec Bride reached Manning's drive, but could not handle {t, and Kleinow scored. Hemphill forced Manning, Blair taking third. Keeler's single scored Blair, and ut Hemphill on third. A wiia pitch let n Hemphill, and advanced Keeler to third, oriarity flied to Ganiey. Four runs. Count 'em—four. When McBride gave way to Clymer, who batted for him in the seventh, as already told, Altizer was switched to short, and Clymer played second. Kleinow played second for New York, Stahl remaining at first base and Mo riarity in left field. Morning score: IA i i Poe, New York. a REIT Kleinow, 2b... Blair, c....

Flags Fired From Can non Speak Nation's Independence. Patriotic Songs and Recitations Incite Joy at Gathering. sic enthused and the echo of “The Star-Spangled Ranner” from Nousanis of voices died away, Washington saw ihe formal inaug uration of its greatest Fourth of July, when, at 9:33 this morning “Old Glory” was flung to the breeze at the top of the mast of the new’ Municipal Building, which had its dedication today. The nationz! s-.lute of twenty-one guns, which amounced the com mencement of the exercises, never evoked grea'er enthusiasm than when the cheering thousands below watched the cannon hurl from the top of the new building two im mense bombs, which, traversing the air for 300 feet, burst and unfurled two immense United States flags. Crowds Cheer Ceremonies. Time and time again the cheers swelled forth as the emblems of American independence floated majesti ezlly to the northward, signifying that the national salute was over and that an event which marks an epoch in the District’s history had begun. From the moment that Joun Joy Edson, chairman ef the citizens’ com mittee, hushed the cheering thousands and introduced the Rev. Ross M. Fish ourn, who delivered the invocation, un til Speaker Joseph Cannon closed the exercises wit: one of the most stirring impromptu speeches ever heard at a similar celebration, the scene was one of unbounded enthusiasm. “Star-Spangled Banner.” Seldom have Washingtonians exhibit ed greater feeling than when Chareles B. Hanford, iis hands dramatically up lifted, his voice vibrant with feeling, and his eyes aflame with knowledge of the potency of his words, closed his recitation of the “Star-Spangled Ban ner.” The audience was upon its feet, hats were waved in the air, and a scene o1 patriotic bedlam ensued. Cueers Greet Cannon. Again did the large open-air audience forget itself when the Speaker of the House of Representatives appeared sud denly from the rear of the platform. He arrived just as Commissioner Mac farland besg¢ 2 his speech, and the Com missioner was forced to suspend for a few moments while the assemblage paid honor to the man from Danville Later Mr. Cannon was called upon for a speech, and becoming embued with the spirit of the occasion electri fled his hearers with one of the most eloquent extemporaneous speeches the veteran legislator has ever delivered. ‘Mr. Cannon interspersed his flights of patriotic ¢loquence, however, with romely philosophy, with observations anent the duties of the executive, the courts, and Congress, ever keeping to the foreground the sovereignty of a whole people as guaranteed under the Comnstituticn. There were large cries of “Hurrah for Uncle Joe” as Mr. Cannon advanced to the front of the platform, and when afier speak: twenty minutes he an nounced his intention of closing, say ing that he was abusing an old man's Hvilege of growing reminiscent, thcre were enthusiastic calls for “more abuse.” Day of Oratory. It was a day devoted, as it should have been, to Fourth of July oratory in termingied with praise of the stately structure into which the District Gov ernment has just moved. Commissioner Macfariand, John Joy Edson, Secretary George B. Corteiyou, Chapin Browne, and Aldis B. Browne, the principal speakers of the day, exciu sive of Sneaker Cannon, who was not og the gram, all devoted a portion their erie to optimistic references to what the day portendel for the fu ture of the District, and in several In stances offered advice for the future Sovertuaant the District. Chairman John Joy Edson, before in trod the first speaker, made 2a re which he advocated a definition of the relative func tions of the local and Federal govern ments.

Illumination begins about 9:30, ends about 1l.

\J Washingtonians will be treated to night to a display of aerial fireworks ‘visible from every point of vantage in the District. Although it is expected thausands will be present on the Monu ment lot, from which point the entire display will be fired, those who do So probably will not see as well as those who are at points some distance away. ‘Every piece will be visible from any point from which the top of the Monu iment can be seen, as none of them will ibe lower than 500 feet, and many will be much higher. .le LJ

The real display will not begin until 8:30 o'clock tonight. The two immense daylight flags fired from the top of the Municipal building this morning are a fair sample of what is to come, 1

Display Unsurpassed. The fireworks will exceed in beauty any aerial display ever before fired in the District. For the last two days representatives of the Lloyd Company, of New York, have been busy getting everything in readiness. A big tent, twenty-five by ten feet, has beer. erected just south of B street, and it has the appearance of an arsenal. It is loaded with rockets and bombs, Roman can ales, balloons, and everything else imaginable. There have been some few bigger celebrations in tne country, and many Washingtonians remember the Peace Jubilee celebration, when each of three nights a memorable sea battle was won in pyrotechnics on the White Lot, but then, as in all other big dis plays in the past, it was mostly set pieces. Batteries 1,000 Feet Long. Under the direction of Messrs. Gar rett and Campbell, a force of twenty five men was busy all day yesterday laying off three mortar batteries, from which the display will be fired. These batteries cover a line 1,00 feet long. They are set exactly north of the Monu ment, and about fifty yards south of B street. The finishing touches were put on today, and the bombs and rockets were unpacked from their cases and fused. All night the tent, which is roped off, was closely guarded. Two men slept there to guard against accl ~dents. The tent has been roped off, as has also the batteries. The firing and all details of the display are in the ‘hands of the two representatives of the I.lovd Company, Charles Garrett and Charles Campbell. With a force of twenty-five men, they arrived in Wash ington Thursday morning. The fire works did not get here until. yesterday, They came in the most innocent look 4ng boxes in the world. Those who go to the Monument Lot to witness the display will have to crane their necks, but they will get an unobstructed view. It is expected that every point in the city from where the aisplay «an be seen will be crowded, and many hundreds will be on the heights of Georgetown and on the Aque duct bridge,, and the New Highway bridge. y

Niagara Falls In the air, a silver sheen of fire, dropping 300 feet through the air from twenty-four forty-foot halloons, will give notice to those on watch that the display has started. All {wenty-four balloons will be released gimnltaneously, and rising to a height of 1,000 feet, will drop their sheen of silver fire. These balloons are worked by a time fuse, and are calculated to go off in concert.

Then the display will be on. It teg gars description, but there will be hun dreds upon hundreds of bombs and rockets, all with different effects in the air. Aerial Flower Garden. Probably one of the most beautiful features 11 be the aerial flower gar den, or American Beauty Bouquet. This will be created from 500 one-pound bombs, fired simultaneously from the thousand-foot frontage of batteries. Each of these contains from twenty to thirty flowers, and when they reach their maximum height they will burst.

The 1,000 feet of batteries will be brought into use for a’ volley of red, white and blue stars. The batteries are in three sets, and for the other pieces, they will be used alternately, one set firing, while one is being clean ed, and the third is being raloaded.

One of the features will be Lloyd's electric flash bomb. This will flash like lightning, and will give a wonderful effect. There will be a prismatic tor rent, formed by twelve 12-pound shells, an aerial spider web and a comet that Jonks like a lden spider. There will also be a flight of 100 13-inch shells, that will burst in every color of the rainbow. Floating Chain of Stars. Still another feature will be the float ing chain of stars, two hundred feet long, all with changing lights, some varying red, white, and blue, and others every color of the rainbow. There will be a flight of silver electric bombs, weeping willows, skyrockets, Roman mA les, and other familiar features. fondie the entire time 3-minute aerial i Bau AR pa ct anu Ci Features of Display A ote

HALL Veterans cf Three Wars Join in Celebraiing Victory Over Cervera’s Fleet. Veterans of tle civil, Indian, and Spanish-American wars last night united In a campfire in Grand Army Hall to commemorate the destruction of Admiral Cervera’'s fleet. Old scars were forgotten as Union and Confed erate sondicrs met on the platform and the spirit of a united people prevailed. Benjamin F. Barnes, postmaster of Washington, was the principal speaker. He said the extent of domain alone nor length of years did not make a nation great.

Greatness of Nation. “America, young in years and in spirit, is old in story,” he declared. *“It is due to the men who, from her earliest days, have striven for the right that we today have a nation for which we can strive, and, if need be, die.”

he celebration was under the aus pices of the Army and Navy Union. Col. genjamin F. Chase, of Barry Gar rison, presided. Major Carrington Speaks. One of the most notable features of the program was an address by Maj. J. McDowell Carrington, commander of Camp No. 171, United Confederate Vet erans. Major McDowell recounted in cidents of the civil war and was ap

plauded repeatedly for his soldierly re citai of the great struggle which for a time divided the people of the United States.

Capt. George Spider spoke of the pur poses of the Army and Navy Union, and the Rev. W. H. Coston pronounced the henedlction. as the ones used in firing the salute on the Municipal building this morning. There also will be festocns, floating stars, and bombshells, bursting five successive times and giving five succes sive showers of stars, and a combina tion forming a peacock’s tail.

i All of this will take about an hour znd at about 9:30 o'clock the f{llumina tion of the avenue will be begun. This also is in charge of the Lloyd Company.

Avenue Ablaze. Y¥rom Sixth street to the White House the Avenue will be ablaze. So powerful are the lights being used, the biggest ever manufactured, that the sky will be lighted for many miles. The il lumination will last an hour and a half. Immense red torches have been placed on every electric light pole, six to a pole, and starting at the bottom these will burn upward. A Jong fuse runs from the end of one to the fuse of the one above, and no .elighting will be necessary. Each will bora sixteen min ute 11 o'clock the last light on each pole will die out, and ‘Washingtonians can go home to that much-needed rest, with a full realization that they have had at least one memorable Fourth of

REICH Big Fireworks Display Planned in Chinatown Chinatown, or lower Pennsylvania av enue, will be the mecea tonight for hun dreds who wish to watch the flery cele bration of the Fourth both from the Oriental and American viewpoint. The Chinamen heretofore have been the most lavish providers of pyrotechnic displays on the nights of the Fourth of July, merchants or laundrymen vy ing with his neighbor in producing as much fire and noise as possible,

The Chinese are enthusiastic concern ing their adopted country and the Fourth of July celebration is talked of over ‘he ironing board, the pipe and tiie chop suey bowl for weeks in advance. The Orientals usually provide one or more unique displays and the thousand who block the Avenue each year are en tertained well. A year ago a dozen Chinese merchants showed their patrio tism by converting into smoke a number of ingeniously arranged string of fire crackers, suspended in front of each door, each string as it burnt its way upward representing a cost of from $15 to $30. Equally as demonstrative a cele Yation will doubtless take place to HREWORKS SCARCE FUR POOR ORPHANS Three Asylums Remembered, But Inmates Miss Joys of Most Ch:ldren. While thousands of boys and girls of Washington are today celebrating the most glorious ho'llay in the year, there is a little colony voungsters shut out from the great world of homes, and sharing with hundreds of others the few firecrackers which have been provided for their enjoyment. These are the or phans of Washington—motherless, fath eriess, homeless little hearts that must look to a strange hand for help, and a strange heart for sympathy. They have been provided, the major ity of them, with a few “irecrackers and oLher means of celebrat:ng the Fourth. Eut no one of the number has his or her particular little set of treworks which a loving motiner or father took pleasure inn buying yesterday. The little novel (:e8 which manufacturers have made by tne millions to delight the hearts of the youngsters have pat found their way through the big decor of the orphan asylum. They are ror ihe children with homes, and somebody to think of their own particular and ind.vidual pleasure, Today the children of the German Or phan Asylum, St. Vincent's and St. Jo seph’'s were provided with firecrackers, which they aivided 2.nong themselves. The children of the Washington City Orphan Asylum had none at all. During the morning hours the young sters got what pleasure they could out of the fireworks uonated to them, but out in the big c'ty, in tha front yards, along the streets, and on their own porches the other children of Wash ington had their fun. A small burn or a big fright was quickly allayed by the whole family, but inside the asylum walls not one little head could find a mother’s breast if a firecracker ex ploded too soon and burnt a littie finger; not a kiss for a scarred hand, not a lov ing word from the one he needed most, and not an embrace to help him over the sorrows of a scorched toc. Many of the motherless little ones did not realize the joys that came to the children on the outside and would have not realized their loneliness if they had known. Outside the thousands of little boys and girls, who had only to run a few steps to be gathered into lov ing arms when the powder went off in their eyes, thought nothing of the little shut-ins with not only a day of loneli ness, but a lifetime in which to meet ‘alone the hurts and the wounds of time. Commissioners Greeted By Building’s Admirers At the conciosion of the addresses the Commission.rs held a reception in the main hall of tha first floor of the buila ing. Thousands of citizens extended congratulations 10 the three men as a resuit of whose untiring efforts the erection of the building is largely due. After shaking hands with the Commis sioners the visito~s inspected the new home of the District government from cellar to roof. In the basement was stationthe brigade band of the National Guard of the Dis trict, which, under the leadership of Lieut. Donald B.

Kellerman, who was at home with his wife, had left the front door open, and some small boys passing threw a lighted pack of firecrackers inside. Mr. Kellerman came to the front of the house when he heard the racket, and saw some draperies and door hangings Diaaing. He endeavored to smother the fire with his hands, but real that it was gaining headway he snatehed up the rugs and floor coverings from the parlor floor, but these also failed to check the flames, Keller fought desper ately until he fell from exhaustion.

A map of Cleveland studded with hun dreds of pins hangs In Chief Proba tioner Lewis’ office. They are minia ture hat pins, the heads blue, white, and black glass knobs.

In tha downtown sections of the city the pins are thickest, in some places as bee swarms. Out toward the suburbs and in the residence sections the littie knobs are fewer. Off in Lake Erie is a considerable group.

The pins represent the number of chil dren sent by the juvenile court to Slate institutions. A black knob means a girl has been sent to Delaware. White means a boy has gone to Lancaster, blue counts another boy at lJanstieia reformatory.

“They're the thickest in the crowadea gections of town,” says Lewis “That's to be expected. You'll also notice that where there's one there's generally an other near by—bad company. And that down town, where the child can't so easily be kept from bad associates, the pins form many solid masses.

Secretary of Treasury Re lates Fight District Had in Obtaining Home. PRAISES NATION FOR INDEPENDENCE

Declares Fourth of July Most Fit ting Day to Open New Building.

Secretary George B. Cortelyou, a member of the building commission by virtue of his official position and con nection with the erection of the new Municipal building, was received with enthusiasm when he arose to address the citizens at the dedicatory ceremonies at the new Municipal Building this morning.

ii He said, in part: “It is fitting that this beautiful and stately edifice should become the home of this District's government on the Gay we honor as that of the nation's birth. On this day, 115 years ago, Pres ident Washington laid the cornerstone Of our nation's Capitol. On the sev enty-fifth anniversary of independence, President Fillmore laid the corner stone of the addition to the bullding, and Daniel Webster, Secretary of State, delivered the oration. On that occasion that great orator said; __ _ ar

As the great luminary cver our heads, dissipating mists and fogs, now cheers the whole hemisphere, s0 do the associations connected witn this day disperse all cloudy and sullen weather in the minds and hearts ot tige Americans.’ Every man's heart swells within him; every man's port and bearing become somewhat more proud ard lofty; as he remembers that feventy-five years have rolled away, and that the great inheritance of lib erty is still his; his, his, undiminished; his in ali its original glory: his to en Joy, his to protect, and his to transmit 10 future generations.’

“The years that have elapsed since that speech was made have not di minished our reasons wor gratification at the return of the anniversary. On the contrary, events that have trans pired, indicating as they have the on ward march of human liberty, have given us a yet richer inheritance to transmit to posterity. May the time never come when we as a people shal have cause to feel that the heritage ot liberty which we have received from the fathers has suffered any impair. ment from either foes without or foes within. i

“As we contemplate the noble avenue of which this building is now one of the chief adornments, it is difficult to realize the momentous changes that have taken place in tne physical as Pecis of the nation's Capital since the early days, when the view to the west and south of the Capitol building re vealed an almost uninterrupted stretch of swamplacds; which, in the opinion of many, could never be built upon; when members of Congress complained that it was impossible to secure com fortable living quarters: and when, on account of the scarcity of labor, even the cccupant of the White House could not obtain sufficient firewood to heat the building.

“Nevertheless, in spite of natural ob. stacles, and the gloomy forebodings of the pessimist who saw nothing but gis aster ahead, the city has risen to a splendor and magnificence rivaled by but few of the world's capitals: it has, in fact, represented in miniature the progress of the nation at large, which

Worthy of Capital. “As the Capital is worthy of the na tion, so is this building worthy of the Capital. It is thoroughly in keeping with the highest artistic standards; and when the adjacent squares, whose acquisition by the Government has al ready been authorized, have been occu ried by appropriate structures for the departments of State, Justice, ang Commerce and Labor, much will have been done in the direction of the archi. tectural adornment of Washington, and an important step taken toward the desirable end of having the Govern ment erect and own the buildings it occupies. The consummation of such a project will result not only in further beautifying the city of Washington, but will be distinctly in the line of commercial economy.

In his career as a public official and speaker Commissioner Macfarland never ‘delivered a more eloquent address than that in which he expressed the gratifi ‘cation of Washington's three governors at the consummation of the most im portant project in the District goverr ment’s history. The Commissioner and his colleagues beamed with satisfaction as the foriaer bowed to the cheering throng who real ized that the moment of the formal ac ceptance cof the building was at hand. It was a great occasion for Washing ton and the Conimissioners, and the public knew it. Mr. Macfarland, who delivered the principal address, said: “The nation’s birthday is the fittting hour {or the opening of the first home of tke government of the Nation's Capi tal. Boston, New York, Philadelphia would have lived oa if there had been no separation from Great Britain, but, until the Declaration of Independence was signed on that immortal morning 132 years ago, there was no possibility cf a national capital. “Without a nation, free and indepen Gent, there could be no national capi tal.

Advances Citizenship. “Such celebrations make us better citizens by stirring up our gratitude and our patriotism, just as the celebrations of the sacred days of our private history makes us better men. Man is Jistin guished from the lower aninals by his remembrance gs well as by his fore sight. ‘Their memorials have perished with them’ is the most terrible thing the Scriptures can say of the guilty citles of the past. Jit would be a pun ishment full of terror if a city or a na tion for its indifference, ingratitude, iniquity, should lose all the memory of its noble ancestors and their nobie deeds and of the great girts of heaven in the former vears. Our national birthday cught to be a holy day, as well as a holiday, and it snows that the naticnal spirit is still true, that the day is not given up wholly to the personal pleasnre seeking, but that everywhere the Declz ration of Independence is still read and the example of the forefathers is still held up for our emulation. “There could be no better celebration of Independence Day here in Washing ton’s city than the formal opent ot this building. For it stands for Wash ingten’s idea of an independent capital, and is to be the abode of the govern ment of that capital. Here in the heart of the city which he planned and al most in the center of the original Dis trict of Columbia, it will remind all the world of the last work which he aid, and of the affectionate interest he put into it. -Had not Washington dled untimely, I believe that there would have been a District government from the beginning, and adequate national expectations of the future rovision for the maintenance of the National Capital throughout the last

century. Neglect of Capital. Instead of celebrating the opening of the first District government building, we might be meeting today in a Dis trict government buildi a century old, recording in itself t successive advances of the Nation's Capital in regular relation th the successive steps In the nation’s progress. The long neglect of the National Capital by tne National Government would not have occurred if Washington had lived And it would not have had to wall three-quarters of a century for a gov jernment, and over a century for its government building.

Tribute to Governors. “The names of Governor Shepherd, whose statue, the gift of the grateful people, will shortly stand here, and Governor Cooke, under whom Governor Shepherd directed the Board of Public Works, as it drove the plowshare of yreparation through the principal streets, planned by Washington, and made possible al. ‘hat has come since, rise before us as w~e think of the be ginnings of modern Washington. All honor to these governors and to the Cemmissioners of former years, to whom we owe so much. And while the plowmg went on under the governors, most of the seed-sowing as well as the cultivation and the harvesting has gone on under the Commissioners. ‘The tree is known by iis fruits.” We have thirty years of practical solid success lo re port. You who remember the condi tions of 1878 have only to look around you to see what has been accomplished. The doubling of the population, the re duction of the death rate, the quad rupling of the financial resources, the transformation of the transportation facilities, the multiplication of beauti ful buildings, public and private, of parks, bridges, boulevards, trees. These are only tue visible signs of the t change which appears most striking when we examine--our present intel lectual and spiritual resources, our educational! and religious institutions, the improvement in our lawg and cus toms. “It is all typified in this District build ing, this typical District construetion, the outcome of the efforts of the Com missioners and citizens through all these years, now delighting our eyes with ‘is beauty within and without, and its great possibilities of usefulness. In this, as in all other things, we are en tering into the labors of other men. We are fortunate in having what they worked for, but saw only with the eye of faith. We are fortunate in having had the opportunity to make the final efforts which brought the thing to pass.

Purchase Site. “In June, 1903, when Mr. Ross and Colonel Biddle were still Commissioners, we got the first legislation from Con gress providing for the purchase of this site and the erection of a buflding, the total cost limited to $1,500,000, and the site was purchased for $5,000, and the work begun under the contract au thorized for the building. We had told Congress that it would cost, including site $2,500,000, and we subsequently suc ceeded in etting this limit of cost raised, first in 1903 to $2,990,000, and then in 1905 to $2,500,000. That ‘atter year nc new Federal building w:s authorized and no limit of cost of any Federal building was increased throughout the United States; s¢ that the difficulty of getting the limit of cost of this Dis trict building increased in order to make it beautiful with marble instead of having it a common brick structure can easily be imagined. Progress In Harmony. Commissioners and citizens working together in harmony, have won the progress which we see today.

A NEWDISTRIGT HONE MADE FOR FUTURE —Chapin Brown Magnificent Building Does Honor to People of the Nation, He Says. In an address, optimistic of the city's future and the renaissance exemplified by the dedication of its new home, Cha pin Brown, on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce and speaking for the repre sentative business men composing that body, predicted that tne new Municipal Building dedicated today would serve as one of the models of architecture for future generations as we are not wont to copy the Doric and Corinthian archi tecture of ancient Greece. Mr. Brown, after reviewing the origin and the difficulties attending the pro mulg=ztion of the Declaration of Inde pehpene and the right of free speech, said in part: “The existence of the Chamber of Commerce is so intimately con nected with the legislative branch of the National Government, as well as with our own local govern ‘ment of the District of Columbia, that it is most appropriate that this body of citizens should be invited, and should desire to participate in the housewarm ing of the first home of thelr local gov ernmert given and granted to them by a mos. gracious act of our National Legislature. “it may, perh at first appear boastful, to say that the Chamber of Commerce, as well as our elder brother sociation, the Board of Trade, which been so eloquently represented here today, exist and have their being by virtue and authority of that same im mortal document which created and es tablished the executive, legislative and Judicial branches of the Federal Gov ernment and the freedom of speech. Work Not In Vain. “The Chamber of Commerce has ex ercised to the fullest extent, these rights so sacredly preserved tc us. We have assembled from time to time: we have exercised fully the freedom of speech in. the discussion of matters of public inter:st and concern, and wo Rave petiticned the Government, both Federal and local, and. I am happy to Say, not in vain; and we have peti tioned it, not only for a redress of grievances, for they have heen few, but we have petitioned it also for a share of those privileges, and of those boun teous gifts, which the unprecedented commercial prosperity of this golden age of cur country warrant us in demand ing and enjoying. “In the latter class may be included this magnificent structure whicK we are dedicating and admiring today. As a busiress home for our local govern ment, its dimensions are ample, and the plan of the building is wuractical and well adapted to the important work of our honored Commissioners and the efficient force of employes who will have to occupy it; Lut beyond all shis practical aspect of the structure, the cultivated, the refined and esthetic taste of the citizens of the National Capital also demand that it should be planned, constructed and completed in such pleasing form and outline as the architects have conceived so happily, and our own worthy citizen, the con tractor of the building, has so faith fully and satisfactorily put into execu tion. “The Chamber of Commerce is most happy to aid and participate in the events incident to these dedicatory ex ercises which portend and indicate 30 much for the future of our Nation's Capital. The Chamber is composed of those active, energetic business and pro fessional citizens who have always been foremost in the advancement of every movement looki to the wel fare, not only of our citizens, but those of the whele country. “Nor have the interests of our own citizens been neglected. The business interests of the city have deen strength. ened and stimulated by the efficient work of its worthy president and of ficers and its most active and energetic committees and individual members tc the great advantage of our citizens and our nearby neighbors of Maryland and Virginia; and the social features of the Chamber have allayed all unnec essary differences, discord, and business jealousies, and brought its members intc friendly ard, I might almost say, loving intercourse and fellowship.

“The scope of my subject and my al lotted time will not permit me to make more than a passing allusion to the consistent and val le support which the press of our city has given to every measure Dp by our association looking to the common good of all ou: people. The able and courteous repre. sentatives of our newspapers, who have attended our meetings from time tc time, have furnished accurate and fai

reports for the public, and it is bu og to say that without this suppor in report and comment of our loca pres: the success which has crowned our ef forts could not have been attained.” eee Refrigerators That Are Coldest and Best —Bohn Syphon Refrigerators hold the record for lowness of temperature—registering 6 DE GREES ABOVE FREEZING.

LINCOLN, Neb., July 4-—*Ir the Den convention does not inser: a plank hd publicity of campaign funds into gts platform, the candicate for President will not come from Nebraska

Such was the opening gun of William WJ. Brvan's campaign. It was fired at he close of a banquet given by the Nebraska Traveling Men's Bryan Club, at the Auditorium of this city, last night.

“Bryan declared at the outset that jast n ght's speech marked the opening of the campaign firing. In the main the speech was an eulogy of Democracy, avoiding specific pre-convention ques gions. The presence and speeches of men like Augustus Thomas, the playwright; Ollie James, of Kentucky, and Senator Gore, “=f Oklahoma, made the one public dem onstration in Lincoln on the eve of the great convention one of additional in Rerest.

“Our elections,” declared Bryan, “must be put on an honest basis, for art of ‘government is i.e art of being fionest, Failure of Rcoseyelt. “The Democratic placfofa will be dif ferent from the Republican platform in one essential respect. It will contain specific declaration on all public ques tions. Why does this difference exist?

DOCTOR'S SLAYER ELUDES POLICE (Continued irom rirst rage.) once to avenge the death of his wife and his unborn child, and condemned to “death by poison the man who lived by pcison.” That the murderer seized upon the ale idea is still more remarkable, in view of the fact that Dr. Wilson had started to drink ale only four weeks be fore he received the poisoned bottle. He had never before been in the habit of drinking it, and {it is therefore evil dent that the murderer was well in formed about all the habits of his vie tim. This is, however, only one of tne many reasons which lead the police to believe that the murderer was in league with some one close to the dead sur geon.

Nothing was known at first which made the police suspect that Dr. Wilson had been inurdered. Three physicians called in thought he had died from apo plexy. A third physician was in doubt about the cause of death, and notified the coroner. Mrs. Wilson told the coro ner's deputy all about the ale, how her hushand had tasted it, defected {ts strange taste at once, and cautioned her not to swallow any of it. The coroner's detectives, by communi cating with the Peter Schemm Brewing Company, learned, of course, at once that the decoy letter sent to Dr. Wilson was a forgery and that this brewingcom WILL FIRE 46 GUNS IF BRYAN 1S NAMED a President Will Grant Permis sion to Washington Demo crats to Celebrate.

The department now regards it as un likely that any more of the bandits will seek refuge across the line in the United States.

This was sufficient to tell the police that the physician had been the victim of foul play, but this ‘nformation was kept strictly secret.

Before this publication of the facts the coroner, how:ver, received a letter from Bristol. Pa. postmarked Saturday, June 27, 5:30 pp m. This letter was written three days before anything had been published to the effect that Dr. Wilson had baen murdered, and it is almost past belies that its genuineness ever was doubted. BR

Then came the following letter from Boston, postmarked Back Bay Station, June 2, 9 a. m.: “Dear Mr. Coroner: In my letter re garding Dr. Wilson [I forgot to request you to give my letter to the papers, as it mizht be well to let the pubic and other baby-killers know that there are some oy who regard this sort of thing in true light—murder of the most cowardly sort “If it ever comes my way to do any thing for the little girl I will certainly do anything in my power, provided Mrs. Wilson does nothing toward carrying on his infernal business.” Coroner Jermon at that time must have been impressed with Detective Paul's opinjon that the letters were genuine, as he offered on Tuesday to let the newspapers copy them in hopes that their publication might aid in the discovery of the fugitive criminal. The letter was never copied nor was any description of tlie murderer sent any whera, though a fairly good one had been obtained. Lack of funds also handi capped the inquiry. ST. PETERSBURG, July 4—A mes sage received from Tabriz today says that the Shah’s troops, by the exercise of the greates’ fo-ce and severity, are rapidly overcoming the last vestige of the revolutionists’ opposition, and will soon be in control of the city. Fighting continued in the city last night. The soldiers refused to recognize the white flags of surrender that were raised in a number of places, so they might have an excuse for continuing the pillaging and looting of the quarters in which the revolutionists had taken refuge.

Reports of the number of killed in the engagement, which has now lasted for three days, vary, but no estimate places the number under 2,000. One re port says that there have been 4,000 casualties. The legations are crowded with refugees and the Russian bank building is sheltering nearly 2,000 of the frightened populace. i

All of the legation buildings are dis playing flags of their resnective coun tries, and so far no attack has been ‘made on any cf them. A censorship has been placed on the news coming out of Tabriz, and it is ‘taken to mean that the soldiers hold the telegraph station, for it is to their advantage to keep the extent of the trouble from spreading cver the nation.

“Uncle Remus,” Children’s Hero, Lies in State in Georgia Home Uraemic Poisoning Ends Career of Noted Writer and Editor, Whose Quaint Stories Were a Feature of Modern Literature. ATLANTA, Ga., July 4—The body of Joel Chandler Harris, author of tne “Upecle Remus” stories, lies in state at his home near here today, while hun dreds of telegrams pour in upon his family. Mr. Harris, who was editor and owner cf the Uncle Remus Magazine, died at 8 o'clock last night. I of Georgia’ vening ries, _ “Stories of of “Uncle Remus” was born in Eaton, Putnam counly, Ga., December 8, 1848. He was a precocious child, and before reaching his sixth birthday he had de voured ‘The Vicar of Wakefield,” and from that masterpiece of Goldsmith's he obtained his desire to write.

In 1862, after he had received tha schooling allotted to pupils at the Eai on Academy, he was attracted by an advertisement in the Countryman, cail ing for an apprentice to learn the print ing business, and in a few days he was installed in the office of a country news paper.

After the close of the civil war Harris wandered around the Soutr for several months, and finally connected himself with tho Morning News, in Savannah. When the city was visited by yellow fever in 1876 ne moved to Atlanta, where he connected himseit with the Consti tution, and from that date his literary career really began. When Sam Small, the evangelist, re signed from the staff, Harris was given Lis place, and his first sketch was en titled “Uncie Remus: His Songs and Sayings.” The creation of Uncle Remus was an event in the literary world, and the sketches were widely copied, both at home and abroad. Mr. Harris continued to work the vein #0 happily discovered in “Uncle Remus” with other sketches, such as *“‘Nigh:is With Uncle Remus” (1884); “Mingo and Other Sketches (1884); "Free Joe and Uther Georgian Sieicnes™” (1858); ““Dad dy Jake the Funaway and Short Brories” (1589); “Balaam and His Mas ter,” (1891); “Tales of the Homefolks in Peace and War” (1898), weaving infc fiction frequent touches of folklore, as «do the juveniles “‘ILittle Mister Thnim blefinger (1884), “Aar-n in the Wild woods” (1897), ‘and srveral other wvol uines. i Te

Mr. Harris also wiote ag memoir of Henry W. Grady (18%), and contributed tc the history of his Htate a volume on “Georgia From the Invasion of De Soto tv Recent Times” (1888).

HUNGRY, EATS WIFE, THEN SELLS FLESH Famine Drives Russians Into Horrible Form of Cannibalism.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 4 —Canni balism is becoming common in Yakutek, Siberia, where famine is creating the most frightful havoc and hundreds are succumbing to hunger. A peasant named Komoff and his son are awaiting tral at Yakutsk, the provincial capital, charged with killing Komeofl's wife, two daughters, a Younger son, and a servant, devouring parts of bodies and disposing of the rest at starvation prices to famine stricken neighbors. The neighbors finally confessed their part in the hideous transaction, after the descovery of the skeletons in ths Komoff hovel. The father and son were found in hiding near dy. Bread {is absolutely unobtainabla ‘throughout the province. The peasants pay 2 kopeck a pound for grass, with a slight admixture of fiour, which they eat as a substitute. Continued crop failures are the cause of the famine. ORDERS DOGS KILLED; ARE WORTH $15,000 Veterinary Balks and Finds Homes for Them—$5 a Bark Would Ruin Owner. NEW YORK, July 4—Charles V. Ga triel, a wealthy New York lawyer, who resides at 30 Clinton avenue, Montclair, XN. J., gave Dr. James McDonough, vet erinary surgeon, a shock when he asked him to come to his place and kiil his dogs. Mr. Gabriel has made a special ty of breeding high-class pointers. When Dr. McDonough reached (he lawyer's home, and saw the splendid Kennels, he asked, “Which dog do you want killed?” “Every one of them,” replied the law yer. “What!” exclaimed the veterinary; “Y cannot put those dogs to death; it would be murder. 1 could never do it.” “lI must get rid of them,” said Mr. Gabrigl. “Give them away, then. Don't kill such besutiful animals,” suggested the veterinary. “Do as you like with them.” said Mr. Gabriel, “but I dcn’'t want to hear a bark when I get home from the city.” Dr. McDonough did not waste any time in finding good homes for the dogs, which are valued at $1 000. There were twenty-six dogs in all, and, according to Mr. Gabriel, the ordi nance which prohibits dogs from bark ing in Montclair would in a very short time, if strictly enforced, make him a poor man at the rate of $5 a bark. Four of the dogs are valued at more than $1,000 each. Two of them Dr. Mc Donough says he will guarantee good homes, even if they bork every secona in the day. Mr. Gabriel gave the vat erinary the pedigree of every dog. GERMANS ADMIT NEGROES.

RECORD IS BROKEN IN SHIPBUILDING Center of Industry in Great Lakes Section, Where 75 Steel Ves Returns to the Bureau of Navigation show that the fiscal year ended June 30 has been the record year of American shipbuilding, and that the center of the industry is on the Great Lakes. During the year, 1506 vessels of 588,627 gross tons were built and numbered in the United States, seventy-five steam ers of 304,379 gross tons were built on the Great Lakes. The largest annual output heretofore was in the year 15S, when 2,024 vessels cof 353,450 tons were built. In that year the Great Lakes built only 23 vessels of 4,43 tons.

INJUNCTION PLANKS HUB OF CAMPAIGN Republicans Pleased Radi cals—Democrats Appeal to Conservatives. BRYAN DETERMINED TO WIN LABOR VOTE Also Makes Many Concessions in Present Game of Care ful Politics. paign of 1%8 is summarized in the dis cussions of the anti-injunction planks of the two great political parties. The Republicans inserted an anti-injunction plank which a large proportion of the convention didn't want, in order to please the radicals. The Democrats are going to tone down their plank in a fashion which will displease a large majority of the delegates, in order to satisfy the conservatives. July 4—The whole cam In short, the Republicans want to hold their place as the real conserva tives, and yet to be radical encugh to save their face with their radical ele ments; the Democrats propose to keep their posture as the radical party, but to concede enough to conservatism to keep the slow-coaches of the party in line. Both are playing to win; just playing pure politics. Conservative Republicans argued at Chicago that their party couldn't hope for the labor vote, anyhow, and ought to make no play for it. Likewise, con servative Democrats argue in Denver that the Democracy is certain of the labor vote anyhow, and ought not to drive away moderates by giving labor more than it needs. Gives Great Deal. re All the politiclans who come in from Lincoln agree that Mr. Bryan is deter mined to have his way about this plank. He is going to give up a good deal to conservatism, there will be no objec tionable currency plank, no demand for Government ownership of anything, no 16 to 1; but Mr. Bryan insists on the strong anti-injunction declaration and Government guarantee of bank de posits, The anti-injunction plank is under stood to have been brought to Denver from Lincoln by the union labor dele gates from the District of Columbia, Sam DeNedrey and John J. Purcell They stopped in Omaha and Lincoln, made some union labor speeches, and were treated with especial considera tion by Mr. Bryan. They had a long conference with the Democratic leader, chiefly on the subject of the antiin junction plank, and came away !m mensely pleased with their assurances.

Are Noncommittal. They would not say that they brought the official copy of the plank, but this is understood to be the case. Moreover, it is understood to be a reproduction of the Nebraska State plank which Mr. Bryan wrote: A demand that injunc tions shall pot issue in industrial dis putes without notice and ull hearing, that in case of violation of the injunc tion's order another judge than the one who issued the writ shall pre side, and jury trials may be demanded in such cases. Mr. Bryan has some what modified the terms of it, and may consent that the demand for a differ ent venue be dropped, but that is all he will concede. On this proposition Mr. Bryan is going to stand or fall, and, of course, he will stand. The coavention of 180 had a two-thirds majority for Bryan, yet the resolutions committee was agairst his silver plank. Mr. Bryan forced its hand by sending a message saying that unless 16 to 1 were inserted in the platform he would decline the nomination. He got what he wanted.

One Man Rule. Simfilariy, in 1504, the money plank adopted by the convention did not please Judge Parker. Hhe sent his fa mous telegram, and the convention adopted the telegram as a part of its expression. In each case the conven tion allowed itself to be dominated by the man to whose nomination it was committed. It will do so again this year. Mr. Bryan may be forced to in ject his personal authority into this anti-injunction fight, but if so, he will win. The plank will be the Bryan plank. This is the one big demand which Mr. Bryan's native radicalism will make. Otherwise he is prepared to concede much in order to win. He knows as well as anybody else that tnis year marks his last chance. He must win now or never be President. He is older, wiser, more practical, than ever before. He is not so much the Jesuit as is Theodore Roosevelt; but vet he has borrowed a vast deal of politics from Roosevelt, as Roosevelt has borrowed of policies from him. Mr. Bryan is out to win, and so is his A The conviction is everywhere that this

is the time for success, if there is ever to be such a time. Appeal To Negro. The proposal to insert in the platform a plank over which the negro vote of tne Northern States may walk into the Democratic camp is one of the conces sions to practical politics. Mr. Bryan has prepared such a plank, it is de clared on the best authority, and has discussed it with many of his visitors. The conclusion seems to bo that it is good business. The theory is that it can’t injure the party in the South, where they have undertaken frankly to disfranchise the colored brother, and that it may give the Northern negro an assurance of welcome which will ease his conscience about voting the ticket of the party he has traditionally regarded as his enemy. By what process of intellectual acro batics Mm Bryan proposes to make the negro believe he is a favorite of Democracy is not yet divulged; the language of the plank he lias prepared is awaited with the greates! interest. i i FF.

EEE, Bryan Roosevelt's Superior As Dictator of Convention Will Control Denver Meeting by Telephone From His Home, and Friends Expect Him to Get Every thing He Demands. DENVER, July 4—It's Mr. Bryan who is, in turn, running a national con vention over the long-distance tele phone. His friends expect that he will ‘make a greater success of it even than ‘did President Roosevelt, for they expect ‘him to capture everything in sight— Presidential nomination and platform. as Mr. Roosevelt did, and Vice Presi dential nomination, as Mr, Roosevelt did not.

The Vice Presidency is being heid in reserve, as a sop, just as it was at Chicago. The Republican managers waited too long before declaring what they wanted in the Vice Presidential line, and didn’t get it. Mr. Bryan is still holding out, but he has things so well in hand tbat he is likely not to repeat that mistake.

There are some Republican sore spots, into which by a judicious u<2 of the Vice Presidential nomination, the Democrats might rub considerable salt, On (he other side. there are some Democratic sores to which the nomina tion might be made a salve. It will serve as one or the other: salt for Re publican or salve for Democratic

sores. Indiana Sore. Thus, Indiana is a Republican sore spot. Fairbanks was defeated, the Rtate ticket candidates went home from Chicago disgusted, Senator Beveridge got scant consideration, Governor Han ly was almost hooted off the platform, and Harry New was promptly eliminae e4 from the list of national chairman ship possibilities, and is prodigiously displeased. He has privately opined in vigorous terms that the Republicans are “up against the real thing” this year. All Indiana is disaffected, and for the Democrats to name John W. Kern for second place would make the conditions still more acute and dangerous.

Then there is the Iowa sore. Iowa could have had the second place nomi nation for either of two men If fits miserable factionists had not prevented; and the wave of gloom which settled over the State as a result of their action has refused to be dissipated. Just by way of salting this sore, there is much support for the nomination of Jeremiah B. Sullivan, of Towa, for Vice Fresident with Bryan, with the view to going after the Iowa electoral vote in dead earnest. It looks like rainbow chasing, but it has support among good politicians.

New York In Race. On the salve side, there js New York. It needs consideration. It has acres and acres of good men willing to be sacrificed; mary of tiem anxious. It demands a place on the ticket, just as it did at Chicago. It is pointed out for instance that to name William Astor Chanler would at once please the radi cals of New York, give the State the coveted representation, recognize the old-fashioned solid element of which Chanler, despite his radicallsm, is a scion, and finally, it would be a sop to the Hearst people, and perhaps make it more difficult for Hearst to lead away any large proportion of the Demo PRICKLY HEAT is a myth to those fortunates who use Evans’ Perfumed Compound Toilet Talecum Powder.

WELLIVER. cratic vote to an Independence party ticket; for Chanler was elected lieuten ant governor on an Independence Lea gue ticket. That looks like good lini maint in many ways.

New England has its candidates, and its arguments that it really must considered. Labor would like to have Gray, and if the anti-injunction plank shall prove such as pot altogether to flease the Gompers element, Gray is ikely to be the man. as additional con solation to labor. The Johnson boomers would be pleased to have the Minne sotan for sedond place, though they will not yet admit as much. Salve, salve, salve—they want it everywhere.

Bryan Genial Host. Everybody worth while has been stop ping at Lincoln on the way to the con vention city. Mr. Bryan has been the genial host to all callers. He is in fine humor and never was so confident of success. The telephone service be

1 tween Denver and Lincoln is excellent, and it never dreamed of such revenuas as have been pili up the last ten days. Lincoln has developed a new attitude toward Mr. Bryan since 190. It used to regard him with small faver. He was not unpopular, but he was as the prophet—without honor in his own country. Fclks just laughed at the idea that ‘““Young Bryan,” who never had even been rated as one of the best law yers in the town, could possibly be in the Presidential class. Lincoln had never been close up to greatness be fore, and declined to admit that great ness was of the clay it had known.

Lincoln Is Proud. But Lincoln has changed its mind. It is proud of Mr. Bryan, and, moreover, it recognizes him as a local institution decided]y in the nature of an asset. He makes business for the hotels, the railroads, the telegraph offices, ihe newspaper correspondents—and he keeps the name of Lincoln on the first page of the papers all the year round, which

belps some in a town where the Com mercial Club is anxious for good cheap advertising devices. But there's more to it than this. Lin coln and Nebraska, and the whole West lecok with more tolerance on Mr. Bryan's economics than they did before the rise of Roosevelt. The West isn't suffering from calamity. but from conv:~tions. It isn't hard up, i's merely in earnest. It was mightily devoted to Rooseveltism and Roosevelt; and if Mr. Bryan suc ceeds In making it believe that he is the only man who can be trusted as the executor of the Roosevelt estate, he will make Mr. Taft “go some.”

Mr. Bryan was always personally liked in Lincoln. But he was better liked before his nomination for Presi dent than after it. Now he seems to have come again into his own, and his home people are proud of him. They are proud to see their townsman boss ing a great convention over the wires, end thev admit it as never before

AN AEFINITY Copyright, 1908, by the Chicago Tribune. JOHNSON BOOMERS RENEW OLD HOPE (Continued from First Page.) makers of jthe constitution intended it should have, “The public business should be transact eq in public. Secret sessionsof committees in either house of Congress of joint and conference committees are undemo cratic, and should not be tolerated, The Democracy will whenever it achieves control of either house of Congress, so amend the rules that no business other than that of executive and diplomatic character shall be done behind closed doors. Legislation is of necessity mold ed in committee, and the ple should know the Influence arguments which prevail there no less than the record made on the floor of {ongres.” Opposed to Cannon. The first plank is intended to attract to the Democratic party the support of people who are disgusted with the con duct of the House under the Cannon domination, by assuring them that if the Democrats get the next House new ruies will be prepared. “The truth is,” said Judge Wade, “that Speaker Cannon and his Rules Committee are the most unpopular insti. tutions in this Government. I have been a member of the House, and know what it means to ask as a favor from the Speaker the privilege of calling up a measure in wlich my people are in terested. The plank says just what I mean on the subject, and I have no doubt it will be adopted.”

The second of the two planks is re as even more startling in the way of innovation, for it proposes noth ing less than that all committee meet must be open. verybody familiar with .egislation knows that the real business is done in committee. There bills are smotherad or Bromoted, jobs are hatched and put through, and in general most of the real business is done behind closed doors, and with statesmen assum! that the

When Murphy's attention was led to it he said: “My attention has been called to an Interview said to have been z'ven by Judge Parker about a resclution con cerning Mr. Cleveland, which he talks of introducing at the coavention, I have not heard about it until now. It represents, I take it, the parsonal views of Judge Parker.

This resolution has not been submitted to any such caucus and until it is it mus: remain mere expressions of the personal views of Judge Parker.” Judge Parker Talks. As to the printed resolutions Judge Parker had this to say: “Regarding the preparation and iz:o duction of resolutions expressing the deep regret of all good citizens, whether Democrats or Republicans, at the re cent deth of Mr. Clevelnd, and mak ing formal recognition by the Demo cratic party of the great service he rendered the country, I have only this to say: “It seemed to some members of the New York delegation proper that such resolutions should be presented to the convention, and peculiarly fitting that they should emanate from the State which he served so well as governor. “It also seemed approprite to some of my assistants, and I do not hesitate to say frankly, to myself, for reasons that appear obvious, that I should be the one to offer such resolutions, and it wag and is my intention to do so. Whether they will take the form indi cated by the tentative draft published in New York since I left there, I can not say, for the simple reason that I have not had time to study it carefully. I shall do so as soon as I have the op portunity and shall embody such por tions as seem to me suitable, in the resolution which I hope to hav. the privilege of offering. “Any suggestion that my colleagues or myself were actuated by any meo tive other than a desire to pay tribute, on a fitting occasion, is wholly without foundation, as I am confident every fair minded man will recognize when I shall have completed the resolutions for sub mission to the convention.” Following the arrival of the New York leaders considerable progress has been made toward harmony.

That is a great advantage. Say you want to wash a few white things on a hotday. Youdon’tbuild a hot fire and make the house like an oven to heat water. With Fels-Naptha you just get 2 bowl of cold water and wash the things. It’s so simple, so easy. No boiling of clothes; no steam, no nauseous odor.

You'll appreciate this readiness on wash day. No washboilers and stirring paddles to bother with, no hot fire to keep up, no danger of scalding your hands. Likewise in washing dishes.

Mary Mannering Divorce Sutt Will Be Heard in the Autumn tion law should pass, while the Federa tionists want issuance of injunctions against labor organizations prohibited. The plank which Mr. Wills and his associates want adopted and which they believe is going to prove acceptable, LL Pe NEW YORK, July 4—Confirmation of the long current report that Mary Man nering, the actress, has brought suit for divorce from her actor-manager husband, James K. Hackett, was fur nished today by Miss Mannering's coun sel. It is said that the hearing of the case, which will probably be held next fall, will result in the dragging into the case of the name of one of Broad way’s most prominent female stars, who has been named by Miss Mannering as the cause of her demestic woes.

Though the two have not been living Josether for more than a year, both Miss Mannering and Mr. Hackett have denied strenuously that there was an; misunderstanding between them. It daveloped today that the papers in the case were served on Hackett June 1, three days before he salled for Europe on a business trip. Breoklyn. This they are anxious to avoid, and the first concession seems to have been made when Charles F. Murphy practically repudiated the Parker resolutions on Cleveland. Clayton Is Satisfied. Judge H. D. Clayton, of Alabama, the man who is slated for permanent chair man of the Democratic national con vention, Is one of the most interesting figures herr. He is a typical Southern statesman of the old school—kindly, dignified, and simple, with a look about pin which indicates determination and oree. There has been some quist talk of Judge Clayton as Mr. Bryan's running mate, When asked about it last night, he said: “I am a member of the House «of Representatives, the work suits me and 1 shall stay there as long as my people care to have me. The Sou:h has no candidate for Vice President. It has nothing to ask from the convention save the privilege of supporting the candi dates. The South will give the men named here all of its votes and will not ask of the national committee one cent to help them do it.” Asked as to the Vice Presidential situation, Judge Clayton sald: “It 1s abseclutely in the hands of the convention. The delegates will come here without instructions and with their minds open. Mr. Bryan has indicated no preference, nor will he, I am sure, express any preference. One thi up on which we are to be congratulated in that so many first class men are ing urged for the place, that Mr. Bryan is certain to have a running mate in whom the people may have the utmost confifence “Keep your eve on Theodore Arling ton Bell, of California, for second place on the ticket with Bryan.” This is the advice offered by J.

It has been a day of renewing faith. A series of charges here, an accident there, have lately been allowed to throw dust in our eyes. Such things— important as they are and needful to analyze with the greatest care—might rather i:ave made us rejoice that in Washington there has been so little questionable administration than have clouded so much good administration witn doubt. In the comparison with other cities which the ceremonies of the dedication prompted, however, in the contemplation of a great and costly ouilding erected without graft, in the presence of each other, came reassur ance. We must all of us have realized that in the foundation of our local public opinion there abounded ability and earnest regard for the general welfare to improve our local admin istration, where need should arise, aec cording to a sober, not a heated, judg ment, and with a purpose to build up, not to pull down. 3

The wider significance of the day found full expression. Washington ians as we are, we are yet Americans nrst of all. He must have been phleg matic indeed who did not feel the love oi country which thrilled that great assemblage electrically—as the familiar phrases of the Declaration fell on the ear; as the chorus of the “StarSpan gled Banner” rolled into the air irresist able as the march of an army; ag the colors, brilliant, pure, true, broke across the sky. We were in no can ger of forgetting that the day cele prated a principle, not a place. But we were yet properly proud that that principle finds its most impressive symbol in the city of which we are the residents and that our own local gov ernment nas at last a house of proper size, equipment and dignity.

Female Suffrage in England.

When Premier Asquith took his ad vanced but yet receptive position on female suffrage for England he let th: leaders of the agitation feel that there was need for some manifesta tion of unity amongst them. Aeccord mgly a number of the ladies, headed by Lady Frances Balfour, Mrs. Faw cett, Mrs. Despard, and others of equal distinction, organized a demonstration. It is now over and even the set op ponents of the cause have recognized in it “a very prompt rejoinder” to the Liberal leader’s challenge.

27 a m—— ee g From the Embankment to Albert Hall, in London, many thousand wom en paraded in order. The estimates range from 6,500 to 12,000. But num bers was not the most impressive fea ture of the demonstration. That was that in the line were several hundreds of college graduates in cap and gown, of professional women, of banners tes tifying to the achievements of women in various walks of life. If it was the first efiort to answer the objection that the body of womanly women do not de sire the ballot it was also an impres _sive effort.

Had the manifestation of strength topped there it would have been of enough interest. But last Tuesday these ladies undertook to storm the house of commons, because Mr. As quith would not give them further assurances. The two houses went gravely on with their sessions. But outside raged a storm without a par allel’ since the days of “Ship money.”

i With adojurnment came a need fo: clearing the streets and in that opera tion twenty-nine of the women were arrested. Another demonstration was made next morning for the rescue of these victims. Now we are promised daily disturbances until not only the premier, but all the worll is satisfied that behind the cause are enlisted unity, determination, even despera tion.

s

The immediate hope of the ballot fo women seemed up to this stage, to de: 3 1 i t pend upon the Liberal party. Should that organization declare for female suffrage, it was plain the next election would have chiefly the character of a plebiscite un votes for women. But agitations like this, directed at the head of the Liberal premier, are not likely to produce such declarations. The ensuing fortnight may change the situation. According to pre-ent tend encies as reported from London, how ever, it would seem that this outery tor further assurances has cost the “suffragettes” a great tactical advan tage.

Keeping Watch Over the Milk. The value of co-operation between the bureaus of the National Govern. ment and the government of the Dis trict of Columbia has rarely been better illustrated than in the arrange ment announced yesterday for the prosecution of protection of our local milk supply. A police court judge had ruled, sub stantially, that the nationai pure food and drug act superseded the special acts passed with a purpose to regulate the sale of milk ir the District alone. The effect of that construction was to remove the health officials of the local government from the fleld as examin ers and prosecutors. An appeal was taken. In the end the judgment of the Police Court may very possibly be set aside. But while that issue hangs in doubt, or until the law can be better phrased, the protective resources of the District Health Office are saved to the District consumer by the sim ple expedient of having the national Agricultural Department name the Dis tric: Health Officer and his subordi nates as agents of the department. fe

62 While there is team work like that our milk supply is reasonably safe. It was a revolulion which made Diaz President of Mexico. That hap pened in 1876. Diaz is President today. 1t has often been said that he will probably be President until he dies. Undoubtedly he is the best govern ment chief Mexico has ever had. But ne found bad conditions when he took the Presidency, and, able and faithful an executive as he is, progress, outside the big cities, has been slow. How could it be otherwise? To understand the difficulties under which Mexico has made progress dur ing the Diaz regime it should be con sidered that fram 1519 up to 18786, trom Cortez to Diaz, Mexico was the focus of tyrants and adventurers. There the Spaniards sowed the seeds of rapacity and rebellion just as they did in their other possessions all over the world. For fully three centuries it was plundered by the conquerors of the Aztecs. Finally, a little less than a hundred years ago, the period of rebellion began. Administration fol lowed administration in rapid succes sion. Farly in the twenties the first repub lic was established; but, nevertheless, so chaotic were conditions throughout the country, so widespread were the misery and the discontent left after the Spanish rule, that for more than fifty years, or until Diaz took the Presidency, civil war was the popular employment. In half a century there were fully fifty presidents or dictators, not to mention an Emperor and a Re gent. Less than ten years before the election of Diaz the Liberal ermy under Escobedo had put to death Ferdinand Maximilian Joseph. archduke of Aus tria, to whom France had offered the imperial crown of Mexico.

Diaz has done his best to establish a stable government. Even the Indians must be impressed with the fact that they have not been able to ao as they pleased. He has given the country a standing in the commercial world. But, lof course, he has made en-mies and when we thipk of Mexico as a place of revolution we must not forget that the recurrent turmoil may be due, and pos sibly is due, to their leadership. As we understand it, the trouble over getting a substitute judge for the Po lice Court was simply that the justices of the peace do not feel like sentencing themselves to thirty days at doubie hard labor. It was a safe bet that the Sage of Esopus would not altogether forget that it was the Democratic party which three times nominated Grover Cleve land. no matter who elected him twice.

He was born in Derby, but spent most of his youth in Warwickshire, and was a resident of London at the time of his departure for America last fall. He is a ‘descendant of “the famous Cambridge Kennedys,” who were Greek scholars of Brest renown, notably Rann Kennedy, is great-grandfather, who was the fa mous Greek master of King Edward's Grammar School, Birmingham, and a Riewmorable figure in the England of his e. Mr. Kennedy's father, Charles Rann Kennedy, was one of the most eloquent men at the bar in his day, and enjoyed the rare honor of being a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. Mr. Ken nedy has a sister, Mrs. Harold E.

An Indian Maiden’s Guile Some one who has been making modern literature the basis for a col lection of love songs calls attention to one that is sung by the Winnebago Indian women. Miss Natalie Curtis reproduced it in The Indians’ Book, which she compiled last summer for the Harpers, and the collector of the lyrics repeats what Miss Curtis says of the youths upon the hillside who pipe their flutes as a signal! in long, languorous notes that are filled with a soft tremor. When a maiden heard the flute music she always found it necessary to leave the tepee, perhaps to draw water or visit some neighbor. But the old peo ple were not often deceived when the fiute music sounded. And this is the song that the maiden sang when they asked leave to go outside. It is brief, but compelling: LOVE SONG.

John Watts de Peyster, by Frank Allaben, in two duodecimo volumes of about 325 pages each, with thirty-two full-page illustrations, will be published in July by the Frank Al laben Genealogical Company. The pub lishers announce that this is the first of a series of biographies of distin guished Americans. General de Peyster, who died at an advanced age in the spring of 1907, be longed to one of the most eminent of the old knickerbocker families. He was brigadier general of New York State troops, adjutant-general of New York, served und Governors Wash ington Hunt and oratio Seymour as State military agent In Europe, and was brevetted major general by a spec fal act of the New York Legislature. Fe was a prolific historical writer and the most voluminous military critic in "America. The bibliography compiled for his “Life” contains hundreds of titles. General de Peyster was a philanthro pist, and gave away during his later years an estimated total of several million doilars—more than half bhis fortune. According to the publishers: “A con siderable portion of the ‘Life’ is auto biography derived from a manuscript found among General de Peyster's pa pers. His reminiscences go back to early boynood, and his trenchant pen paints a wonderfully vivid picture of the life in New York of a young aristo crat of sighty vears ago. He is also frankly outspoken in his comments up on our w»ublic men, our generals, and the batties of the civil war.” Caruso the Caricaturist. “If Signor Caruso had not been a singer,” says one of the literary maga zines, “he could have made a good living with his pencil. He has unusual facility, and sketches as easlly as some people talk. All these stories about Caruso having been a walitar in a res taurant, or having followed some other equally humble occupation, are non sense. “A volume of his clever caricatures, together with a sketch of his life, has Secemiy been published by La Follia di New York, the leading Italian weekly of this country.

ROYAL PAIR FLIES IN GREAT AIRSHIP fo King Wilhelm and Queen Charlotte Guests of Count Zeppelin. SOAR IN CLOUDS ABOVE DOMAINS

Highly Pleased With Novel Ex perience, Although It May Greatly Displease Kaiser. FREDERICKSHAFEN, July 4-—This little community had one of the most novel sensations in its history yester day, when King Wilhelm of Wurttem berg and Queen Charlotte, who are staying in their castle on the shore of Lake Constance, made an ascension in the airship of Count Zeppelin. Thou sands of persons. watched the machine as it glided through the air carrying first the King and later the Queen.

Hearing that the King and Queen of Whurttemberg had arrived at their castle, Count Zeppelin decided to make an as cension in his big flying machine. After various maneuvers he directed the machine to the vicinity of the cas tle and circumnavigated the royal resi dence and ils surrounding park. The royal personages observed the evolutions from the groundsof the castle, and when the airship returned to the lake the King and Queen proceeded aboard the royal yacht to the balloon shed. Their presence was signaled to Count Zeppelin, who was cruising aloft, and the airship immediately descended. Start Is Made. Count Zeppeiin offered to take King Wilhelm for a trip and the monarch ac cepted without hesitation, stepping aboard the forward platform beside the count, Engineer Duerr, and several me chanics, while General Von Hellsinger, the King's chief aide, mounted the aft platform.

At 3:20 o'clock, quietly and zmoothly, tho 2irship moved off and rose ‘nto the air 150 feet. Its bows were then turned toward tne castle, which was reached in eight minutes. The entitre domain was circulated several times, giving the King an op portunity for a splendid bird's-eye view of his possessions. Then a return was made to the shed, where the Quegn was waiting. The water anchor was cas out and King Wilhelm and his aide were transferred to a motor boat. The) landed at 4:04 p. m. The King appearec full of enthusiasm while relating hi: experiences to the Queen, wi, a few minutes afterward adopted his sugges tion to make the trip.

Queen Also Ventures. Boarding the motor boat her majest) mounted the fore platform of the bal loon, accompanied by ber lady of honor while Court’ Chamberlain Rassler clam: bered to the platform aft. Again, a 4:13 o'clock, the airship arose, and witl the motor boat fcllowing, it bearing King Wilhelm, another flight was mad over the castle grounds. The Queer enjoyed the same spectacle that he husband already had seen. The crowd below waved handkerchiefs an cheered, to which the occupants of th balloon cordially replied.

The return journey to the floating dock was effected shortly afterward and the Queen landed 2° 1:40 p. m., an proceeded aboard the royal yacht to ward the castle, amid the cheering o thousands of spectators. ‘The balloon worked without a hitch and in her enthusiasm the Queen in gisted upon Count Zeppelin going to height of 2,00 feet. The King, watch ing from the floating landing stage 1 the lake, manifested signs of alarm, bu his consort continued to wave her han good-naturedly to him. It was onl when Wilhelm waved his hands frantic ally that she gave the order to tn count te descend. The monster craf hardly caused a rile on the wale when it dropped to the side of the land ing stage, and the Queen was carrie away by the experience. As they cam ashore the royal couple were receive with great cheering by a crowd tha blocked their path for twenty minutes.

Surprised In Garden. King Whilhelm and Queen Charlott arrived here yesterday morning t spend several weeks in thelr summe castle. Zeppelin had not intended t take out the airship, but as soon as h heard of the arrival of the King an Queen he decided upon an exhibition Their majesties were in the garden the castle at 2 olclock, when they we: astonished by a voice coming to the as if from the clouds. Zeppelin ws about 500 feet above their heads in h balloon. He drove the machine in circle around the rden, and then ci cled the turrets of the castle. He ser the balloon earthward as if it were abo: to drop, and when within about 100 fe he suddenly carried it upward agai The big ship moved Ifke a hird, ar King Wilhelm there and then deeide he would take a ride.

It was the first time a reigning Kin and Queen ever ascended in a steerab balloon, and it is said that they wi bring on their heads the displeasure Emperor William, who was reported 1 have determined to be the first crowne head to sail in Zeppelin's aerial craft.

BRADFORD, WEDDED COUPLES SHOULD PART FOR A VACATION AT LEAST ONCE IN YEAR. A wise man says that at least once a year the members of a family should have a vacation from each other. Wives should go in one direction, he declares, husbands in another. By doing this, in his opinion, failing interest is revived and the danger of growing tired of each other, which constantly threatens mar ried folks, is averted.

Perhaps it is because other peopie be lleve this also that so many wives go away to summer resorts on the first warm day and do not, return until the cool breezes of autumn make the city tolerable, There is a great deal-of centumely ‘hurled at these wives. They are ac cused of shirking their dut‘es, of selfish ness, hard-heartedness and various other high crimes and misdemeanors— and few of their critics seem to realize how glad the husbands in the case are to be rid of their better halves for the time. 1

Sympathy Is Wasted. A great deal of sympathy is wasted on the stay-at-home man. He is com miserated on every side and pitied and condoled with, when the fact ls that ne is enjoying himself to the utmost.

When the last trunk belonging to the last member of his family has been checked and sent off, when he has said the last good-by and promised for the last time that "yes, certainly he will write; often; once a day, perhaps’'— the stay-at-home man feels like a bird recently loosed from his gilded cage.

His responsibilities slip from his shoul ders like water from a duck; he feels as he did in his bachelor days—as care free as a night watchman, as gay as a little derky dancing to a street piano.

The first thought that suggests Itealf to the stay-at-home mean is that Jor two or three mortal months he will not have to keep any regular hours. That alone is almosi joy enough to justify the expense and everything else, Ee

He dwells with delight on the idea that he can arise when he likes, break fast where he likes, lunch as he wishes, dine at =wny hour that strikes his fancy, and come In when It gets too beastly early to stay oul.

Can Do What He Likes. He can go fishing witheut anyone sus pecting him of being drowned if he does not get back by a certain hour; can go out in a sailing yacht without having his club bombarded with inquiries coun cerning his whereabouts, and can ride in a motor car all night long if he wishes, without being sure that when he does arrive at his domicile he will find his wife weepicg and planning either her mourning or her divorce.

PASTOR SUSPENDED; WOMEN MENTIONED New Jersey Divine Partly Admits Truth of Charges. Denies Infidelity.

NEW YORK. July 4—The Rev. Hen ry Elliott Mott, for years pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Elizabeth, N. J., and noted for his eloquence, has been suspended frum

by the Presbytery. This action, taken at a secret session, was the resuit of charges connecting the clergyman’s name with some of the most prominent women in his fashionable congragation. he for an Many of the members of Dr. Mott's church had not heard of the gravity of ‘the accusations against him, and they were greatly shocked. They were further shocked yesterday when they learned that the accused minister had written a letter to the Presbytery, in which he admitted, in part, the truth of the charges against him, but had denied that he had been guilty of any act of unfaithfulness tc his wife. In this dental he is said tc have mentioned the name of a wealthy

woman member of his flock, who is society leader in Elizabeth. in the charges which were considered for hours before the members decided to suspend the clergyman. The Presby tery, constituting a court from whict appeal can be made only to the Genera Assembly, was composed of the Rev Dr. Blauveit, the Rev. Dr. Zelie, th Rev. Dr. Stearns, the Rev. Dr. J. T Kerr and the Rev. Dr. Samuel Parry Elders Edgar, Orcutt ,Wheeler anc Smith also were members.

Washington's Hard Slugging Accounts for Yanks’ Losses LAT Visiting Pitchers Hammered Alike, Which Saves Na t tionals’ Twirlers—Home Team Full of Ginger i Fr and Willingness— Street Shining. Rod 5 Cown Ano. N [aS ASHES WHE Now You War 10:30 a. m. and 3 p. m. Three straight games from New York in two days. It is hard to tell whether the Wash ington club is showing marked improve tment or whether New York is suffer fing fron an unusually malignant case wf crossed fingers. That game of yes ‘terday was not a wonder on either side. As Wash ngton gathered it in by 7 to 4, will not do to be too critical. Still, playing of the home folk was no than they were showing before y went on the road, when they were winning half the games on their own ‘lot, and, according to Cantillon, it play ‘ed just az well when in foreign parts. "The problem thus presents itself in two </ays—why did the team win so often ‘here, or, why did it lose so steadily abroad? In the second game Thursday and that yesterday the answer to the vic tory problem was simple. Washington Jumped on everything New York had to offer ir. the way of a pitcher, and treated him scandalously. When your ‘bingles come in bunches you can't help making some runs, and that took place in those two clashes. In none of the engagements with New York in the present series has the Washington slab work been particularly brillant. Yes terday New York got twice as many hits as the opposition was garnering in mot of the games Washington lost Jy one run while en tour, but still it came out at the small end of the horn. It y 4 uy YE s ing i a Nw PY z exceeding x ae SAEs «LE strangest situations so far as the bet ting is concerned that has ever heen known in the history of the prize-rin known in the history of the prize-ring in San odds —_— The cheerful willingness of the Washington players to try to de some thing with their sticks: was much in evidence yesterday, and was a big help. There has certainly been no indication before the home fans that there was gny reason for the inevitable howl about dissension when a club strikes the greased toboggan. On the contrary, Cantillon’s young men display a most praiseworthy ambition to get on the bases and home as soon as possible. ‘They soon tumbled yesterday to the fact that Sweeney was shy on accuracy In throwing, and the three bags pur lotned were a valuable contribution. a ND TE EE ean. 4a were generally conceded that Gans will win, and what speculation there is hinges mainly on the duration Conroy, 3b

Vaughn, a left hander, and Bweeney are both nineteen years old, and had howled long for a chance to f@isplay the great prowess which had made them famous in Arkansas. They proved stron; on enthusiasm, but weak pn major league ball. Charlie Smith welcomed Vaughn with a hit, after which came two bases on balls, then Niles errored on Ganley's drive and Bmith scored. By rights Vaughn should bave escaped with a whole skin, for it was Niles’ cue to throw to the plate and for Smith. After Street had reached Brot on Niles’ error in the fifth inning Vaughn was dragged out of the melee, pithough he was not to blame for the troubles of his team. He may yet make pitcher, but Elberfeld would do bet fer to try him some day when the Yanks.-are doling good.

The Washington players had a theory parly In the season that Chesbro was sll in, They acted on that in the seventh inning, when they got to him for a triple, three singles, and a pass, which petted three runs. A feature of this excitement was that all of the hits and two of the runs were made with two bands.out. That was a good sign, but it also, showed how the Yanks could win if ‘Smith kept on wobbling as be hadiedone In the fifth, sixth, and seventh innings. Fortunately, Smith pghtened up at the right moment.

y 4 5 Milan's catch off Conroy will live long In fan memories. It was the hard kind of a ball to handle—a short pst iy back of second base that had to be pooped off the ground while going at full tilt. He has more of the ear marks of a veteran star outflelder than Boy youngster who has broken into last company in recent years, Niles said last night he was net ipiked so badly as he thought when he sollided at first base with Charley th in the seventh inning.

Kleinow allowed him to steal second when there was a man on third. Why this gave the busy conversationalist the idea that he was a sure-enough burglar is not known, but in the fifth inning he got it into his conk that he could steal third. Sweeney was not there with the goods in throwing to bases, but he was good enough to nip Street a mile. Jake Stahl is rubbing it into Wash ington with a vengeance this year, as far as batting is concerned. He is hit ting the ball on the nose with vigor, and is probably feared more by the National pitchers than any other hitter in the Yankee line-up. He got two singles yesterday, and a triple and a single the day before, ard always lays against the ball hard. Jake stole a base yesterday In true scientific fash ion by being half way there before the ball was pitched. It was a big day for Davy Altizer. He was much more sprightly in his fielding than on Thursday, and helped the cause with three singles. Elberfeld has been suspended for a few days because of a run-in witn Um pire O'Loughlin in New York last Wednesday. cca The score: 4

BALTIMORE, Md., July 4—Training for the automobile races to be held on the Pimlico track this aftermoon ended yesterday, and the last session of the work-outs was put through with much zest.

There will be quiet work tlis morning, but nc such terrific test of men and motors as occurred yesterday. A student of the game, who sat in the grandstand and watched the flying car of BE. L. Leinbach, taking the times by miles on his stop watch, said that he believed the 25-mile championship race between Leinhach and Bergdoll will be made in about as many minutes, which would be betler time than ever made in this section. Leinbach’s big 60-horsepower Stearns worked like a watch this morning, and he could tum a mile in a minute with out apparent strain. As Bergdoll also ‘has a 6-horsepower motor and Is one of the greatest drivers this country has ever produced, it must be admi‘ted that he has a chance to win, in spite of the local pride felt in Leinbach, who earned the sobriquet of “The Daring Dutch man’ by his work during the Decora on Day ri W i A W———————————————— t {s the am on of the managers of tue Motor-Car Racing Association, un der whose auspices the sport is to take place, to have the track in record condi tion, and they keep the gang of men at work on it every morning from 2:30 until 6 o'clock.
