DAWSON HEADS TICKET
His Friends Make Test at Out
set, Then Force Matters.
WILDEST DISORDER PREVAILS
Senator Elkins Presides, and Says
Democrats Are Mistaken if They
Think Nomination of Davis
Will Swing the State.
WHEELING, W. Va., July 12. At the
close of the first day of the most turbu
lent political convention In the history
of the state, following the bitterest fight
the party has ever experienced, William
Mercer Owens Dawson is the Republican
nominee for Governor of West Virginia.
Claims of accessions from the ranks of
the Dawson followers, made by the man
agers of Charles Teter's candidacy, de
termined the Dawson leaders to make a
test of strength early in the day, and it
came when a motion to dispense with the
committee on credentials, resisted stub
bornly toy the Tetcrltcs, was carried by
more"than 100 majority. The Dawson peo
ple followed up their advantage and, de
spite scenes of the wildest disorder dur
ing which Senator Elkins threatened to
withdraw from his position of chairman,
they forced a nomination before the plat
form was prepared.
The resolutions committee will not meet
until tomorrow morning, but the candi
date is named. The remainder of the
ticket will be chosen Wednesday, but the
light Is over.
Made Mistake in Case of Davis.
The convention was called to order at
12:30 o'clock in the Wheeling Park Ca
sino, four miles east of the city. Senator
Elkins was temporary chairman. In opon
lng the convention he said:
"The Democratic party, in its desire to
capture this state, has nominated for
Vice-President one of bur most distin
guished citizens and the foremost Dem
ocrat in this state, but In this, as in
most everything else, the Democrats made
a mistake. Senator Davis, to whom I am
so closely related, and for whom I cher
ish feelings of the highest regard, ad
miration and affection, is a man of affairs
and an experienced statesman, having
served his state creditably in the Senate
for 12 years. With these qualifications
and this fitness, he should have been
named for the first place, instead of a
man without a record and without busi
ness or political experience.
"West Virginia cannot be beguiled into
giving up protection and sornid money
to make Judge Parker President, even If
by &o doing they make Senator Davis
Vice-President. I have not the slightest
doubt of victory next November. There
is no good reason why a Republican
should change his vote on state and Na
tional politics, but many and weighty rea
sons why he should not The Democracy
of West Virginia advocates the astound
ing proposition, should it come Into power
In the state, to disfranchise 15,000 loyal
colored Republicans and rob them of the
rights of citizenship guaranteed by the
Constitution, and for which many of
them and their fathers fought in the war
of the Union. Republicans must and -will
resist this proposition, because it is not
only wrong Jn itself, but unfair and un
just to a large body of law-abiding, worthy
and Industrious citizens.
"President Roosevelt has given the peo
ple a wise and pure administration that
commends itself to all of our people. The
President lias so commended himself to
the people that he has been renominated
without opposition, and with him for
i Vice-President Charles Warren Fairbanks,
one of our purest, ablest, most experi
enced and conservative statesmen. Under
the leadership of these men, with a flag
of protection floating high over it, the Re
publican party will triumph.
"President Roosevelt already stands as
one of the remarkable figures In our his
tory. He walks hand in hand with des
tiny, and at times seemingly compels It
to do his bidding. The American people
will" not turn away from him to risk or
follow one untried man on an ambiguous,
evasive and un-American platform. The
Democratic platform says: "We denounce
protection as a robbery of the many to en
rich the few."
"On the gold standard and sound-money
questions, it Is silent as the grave. Bryan
prevailed and sound money and the gold
standard were crucified on a cross of sil
ver. "

OTSTER BAT. L. I, July 12. A com
mittee representing the Central Labor

several central labor bodies they repre

DAVIS WILL CONSULT HILL.
Vice-Presidential Nominee Will Then
Decide on Campaign Plans.
ELKINS, W. Va., July 12. Many con
gratulatory telegrams have been received
by Henry G. Davis since his nomination
for Vice-President on the Democratic
ticket. The expression of weariness
which the convention left on Mr. Davis'
features has disappeared.
. "I feel 20 years younger," he exclaimed
when he came back from a horseback
ride, flushed from the vigorous exercise.
"I'd rather ride a horse than go to the
opera any time. Tes, I'd rather 'ride
than go fishing even," he added with a

The Vice-Presidential candidate refuses
to talk on the money question. He has

of the downpour fell here this evening,
one inch being measured from 4:30 to 6
o'clock. Drains were Ineffective and the
streets were swept by raging torrents, do

property and filling hundreds of cellars.
The washing out of a fill on the Butte,
Anaconda & Pacific Railroad delayed traf

Pilot Rock, this county, last night, over
flowing the tbwn and damaging farms
alonjr the creek bottom. No lives were
lost, so far as known.
Alfalfa fields are badly hurt along
Birch Creek, where the deluge carried
mud, bushes and other debris out over
the lowlands. The barns and outbuild
ings of Charles Nevreomb, at Pilot Rock,
were washed away, and other damage
done.
Reports received here today show
that the electrical storm was severe all
over tho county. F. B. "Van Cleve,

drowned on Rhea Creek, in Morrow
County, but few particulars are known.
For a week cloudbursts have been
taking place in various parts of Gil
liam and Wheeler Counties, fortunately
causing nc loss of llfo up to tho Mitch
ell disaster, but doing considerable
damage to property.
On Pine Creek, 10 miles south of
Fossil, hay ranches were flooded and the
crop covered with mud and probably
ruined. This took place in a remote
stock district last Friday. A cloudburst
also took place at Lone Rock, but did
no material damage. There is no dam
age to speak of reported from Mayvllle
or Olex. Most of tho terrific downpour
took place In the hills where there were
few Inhabitants and the canyons car
ried off the flood safely.
At Condon a light rain fell last night.
Not in Need of Aid.
FOS3IL, Or., July 12. A telephone
mssage from Fossil this forenoon stated
that no aid was needed for the families
whose homes have been destroyed In
last night's flood. "We will take care
of our own sufferers. Send that word
out." it said.
The exact extent of the loss In

Gale Lowers the Temperature.
THE DALLES, Or., July 12. (Special.)
A sudden drop of temperature last night
broke the long hot spell which has pre

night a gale of unusual violence sprung
up and has continued incessantly until
this evening, reaching a velocity of 40
miles an hour at times. The difference In
temperature between yesterday and today
Is 30 degrees.
A MONTH OF CLOUDBURSTS.
Thirty-Four Heavy Thunderstorms
Have Visited Eastern Oregon.
The cloudburst which swept away one
third of the town of Mitchell Monday was
probably not worse than several others
that have occurred In Eastern Oregon
within the past few days, only the loss
of life and property was marked and the
town of Mitchell happened to be placed
where it received the full effect of the
flood. Three days ago there were two
floods reported undoubtedly as bad as the
one at Mitchell, but as they happened in
districts with few inhabitants they caused
no serious damage.
One of these, July 9, was on Ochoco
Creek near Prineville, where a wall of
water came suddenly upon Sam Gulllford
and two other men. The two men got
away in time, but for a while it was
believed that Gulllford was drowned.
But though he had been overtaken by
the torrents which flooded the mountain
side, his horse bore hln? safely to an ele
vation. Another one happening on the
same day was at Hilgard. about 15 miles
from La Grande, where tho roads were all
washed out and stock washed away, but
the lives of no human beings were endan
gered. The biggest storm center has been along
the John Day, the first week In July pro
ducing one storm after another, tho big
gest ones previous to the Mitchell catas
trophe occurring on Dog Creek near Can
yon City and at izee on the South Fork
of the John Day. At Izee the water ran
off the mountainsides three feet deep, and
on Dog Creek domestic animals and hay
were washed away. Both storms oc
curred July 6.
Not counting the many minor storms
that have occurred in this region, and all
over the Interior, during the flrst 12 days
of this month, since July 1, there have
been received at the local Weather Bu
reau reports of 34 thunderstorms In the
Columbia River basin. All these were re
ceived from four stations, and did not
begin to cover the number that actually
occurred.
In all the upper country there seems to
be an unmistakable condition of the at
mosphere, conducive to storms and though
the Weather Bureau constantly expects
them, there is no purpose In sending out
warnings, as the storm may burst any
where from Prineville to Kallspel and
only a small area will be affected. When
asked yesterday for an explanation ot the
storms occurring so frequently. District
Forecaster Beals, whose Jurisdiction ex
tends over all the country affected, said:
"The number of storms has been un
usual, but there Is no accounting for the
number being as large as It has been this
year. Every part of the Inland country
has been either In or near a storm center
within the past 12 days, the higher parts
being mostly affected, but that Is to be
expected as the storms habitually break In
the mountains or on the high plateaus.
This was the case at Mitchell, which la
situated in a deep canon wjth towering
mountains behind it."
Mr. Beals was then asked for an expla
nation of the difference between a thun
derstorm and a cloudburst.
"It would take a volume to give the
theories," he said, "and then we would
not know. There probably is no such
thing as a cloudburst as wo think of It,
the word being used for an unusually
heavy thunderstorm. That was all that
happened at Heppner last Summer, more
than likely, and that was all that hap
pened at Mitchell. But with a town in a
narrow canon draining a large area any
unusually heavy storm will flood the
streets. The creek at Heppner was run
ning bank full only the other day,, and es
timates made by the irrigation engineers
sent here by the Government state that
the flood which struck Heppner a year ago
might have been caused by one Inch of
rain over the territory which drains
through the town. The flood at Mitchell
was -caused by a similar electric storm,
call It a cloudburst if you wish. But as
to the term cloudburst, as far as we know.
It Is merely an unusually severe thun
derstorm. "One reason why we hear of these
cloudbursts so much nowadays," said the
District Forecaster, "is that the tele
phone and telegraph systems have tapped
tne most out-of-the-way places In the
mountains where these storms occur,

Heppner Branch Open.
SThe damage done by the cloudburst of
Monday to the Oregon Railway &. Navi
gation Company's track on the Heppner
branch has been remedied, and trains
are once more running on schedule time.
According to the officials of the com
pany, the damage to the line was slight,
and not so serious as was reported. About
two inches of water fell during the
storm, washing out a couple of hundred
feet of track on the branch line along
Willow Creek, besides loosening a few
of the piles In one of the bridges. A
plledriver was sent from Portland to the
scene and soon had the bridge in good
condition, while tho local section gangs
made good the damage to the track. But
little delay was caused by the storm.
BOLD SCHEME OF SMUGGLERS
Government Stamps Are Secured and
Placed on Many Trunks.
NEW YORK. July 12. Behind the ar
rest of the wireless telegraph operator
and a hospital steward employed on one
of the largest trans-Atlantic liners,
charged with smuggling Sumatra to
bacco, the customs officials claim to
have unearthed a new and Ingenious
method of smuggling diamonds, silks, to
bacco and other merchandise which
should pay a high duty.
Frauds on the Government of enormous
proportions are said to have been per
petrated by this method. Its successful
conduct required a combination of ex
pressmen, steamship employes and pos
sibly Government officials.
Its beneficiaries and possibly Its .pro
moters are believed to be merchants of
this city, some of the men being wealthy
and prominent.
Smuggling In trunks, carried as pas
sengers' baggage, upon which labels In
dicating that they had been properly ex
amined and passed by the inspectors were
surreptiUously pasted, is the method. In
addition to the persons mentioned, two
others have been arrested, and a large
force of special treasury agents is at
work seeking other persons accused of
participation in the frauds.
Trunks containing tho merchandise
which the conspirators arranged to smug
gle into the United States are, under the
scheme said to have been in use, marked
with a private mark and placed with the
hundreds of other trunks owned by the
passengers. On arrival at this port, the
confederate of tho smugglers on the ship
was In a position to reach the baggage,
and upon the trunks of the smugglers
they pasted the special label, indicating

that an Inspector had examined the con
tents of the trunk and found nothing
dutiable therein.
When the customs officials came across
a trunk with such a label on It, they
passed on. The trunk was then carried
to the pier and passed into the hands of
its owners.
To get these labels was tho flrst requi
site of the successful prosecution of the
new method. They may have been
printed and placed In the hands of men
who could affix them to the trunks, or
they may have been washed off trunks
properly passed by expressmen who aro
employed to transport them from the
piers. In a single trunk passed by the
duplicate label system., smuggler might
bring Into America enough diamonds to
make him independently wealthy.
How far the ramifications and the ex
tent of this new scheme have gone has
not yet been learned. The exposure was
premature and was practically forced
upon the customs men, who were work
ing on and waiting for bigger game.
They wero compelled to take action
through the wrong address placed upon
a trunk, found later to contain leaf to
bacco intended for a manufacturer of
