SPRINT, FlKtJ). 111.. April 23. Tha Dem
ocratic St&ta Convention tomorrow will
Indorse William J. Bryan In the stronrrost
trrms and will Instruct Its iterates for
him. Governor Johnson, of Minnesota,
will bo accordod scattering appauae when
ever his TiHine Is mentioned, but nothing
more substantial will be offered him at
this time. There Is a strong undercurrent
of individual feeling; In favor of the Min
nesota man, but it Is not sufficiently crys
tallised to allow of specino action being
taken upon It.
All cUiy there has been anxious inquiry
for "the man with the Johnson resolution
in his porket," but he has so far failed
to materialise, and nobody expects tonight
that he will be heard from in the con
vention tomorrow. Everything will gro for
Hryan and It wll iro with a rush. Roger
C Sullivan, of fhloaxo, the National
committeejnan from this state, who prac
tically controls the situation, said tonight:
Itofror Sullivan Predicts.
"The convention Is all for Bryan. No
body Is going to dictate the Bryan reso
lution outside the members of the com
mittee on resoltulona and the convention
Itself. They can make It as strong as
hey please and It will go through. Per
sonaly I will have nothing whatever to
!o with it beyond doing what I can to hep
lone."
While nothing but harmony Is In sight
on the question of Presidential Indorse
ment and instructions, there will b.e a hot
Jlffht in the committee on resolutions over
the wording of the "personal liberty
I-lank." Many delegates favor leaving the
liquor question out of the platform en
tirely, while others consider it best to
adopt no platform whatever at the pres
ent convention. A declaration will, how
over, bp made on the subject.
Six Delcgates-at-Large.
It was decided tonight that six and
possibly eight delegatcs-at-large shall be
sent to Denver, Instead of the usual four.
Tlie six men slated are: Roger C. Sulll
van, Samuel Atsehaler. Edward P.
Dunne. Fred Kern, Adlal E. Stevenson
end C. F. Boggs.
The predicted contest from Cook
t'ounty. to be headed by Robert E. Burke
and Carter Harrison, is generally re
garded as a Joke. None of the contesting
delegates have so far put in an appear
enco and although Burke is said to have
wrlved in Springfield early today, he
failed to appear this morning around
headquarters In the St. Nicholas Hotel,
ind as far as could bo learned he was
the only member of the contesting dele
iratlon from Chicago who bad arlved.
Juarrlson is not expected.
EYIli WORK OF CORPORATIONS
llrynn Sajs We Have Created Per
petual Giants.
NEW YORK, April 22. It was half
past 1 o'clock this. morning when Will
lam J. Bryan reached the Grand Hotel,
where he was scheduled to speak to
the Missouri Society.
After speaking in praise of the Missouri
life as the simple life, he said:
"We have a lesson to learn in this
country, and an important one that
God made man, and it Is not to be dis
regarded in the worship of the man
made giant, the corporation. Man made
the corporation to make money. God in
making man made the tallest man but
little taller than the shortest, the
strongest man but little stronger than
the weakest, and God put a limit on
his age, so that a bad man could not
be bad long. Man made the corpora
tions a thousand times greater, and
raised a limit on the age, so that some
-would make them perpetual. This man
made giant has lobbyists In every cap
ital of the country. Its favorites have
debauched society, demoralising its
possessors while it robbed Its victims.
"The- panlo which recently spread
over this country, I ' think, is almost
entirely due to the fact that we have
had a riot for the last ten years. Qi
crantlc corporations with fictitious cap
ital demoralised the business of the
Nation, and when investigations came
the cry was raised, 'Stop or all busi
ness will be ruined.' v
A theater party attended by many
members of the society preceded the
upper. Colonel Henry Watterson also
spoke.
MeCarren Will Appeal to Denver.
AL.BANX N. Y., April 23. Senator
"MrCsrren. the Brooklyn Democratic
leader, who with his delegation was
unseated in the recent state convention,
has announced that he Is not In sym
pathy with the movement started by
several objectors to hold another con
vention. "I shall go to Denver and call atten
tion to the high-handed manner In
vhli-h the convention was run and the
Injustice perpetrated, and then leave
my own and my delegates' cases in the
hands of the National gathering," said
Mr, MeCarren, "but I am no believer
In the effectiveness of a second conven
tion." CHANGE CCSTOMS DISTRICTS

THREATS BRING TO TIME
tOor.tlnuod Krom First. Par-)
Ftated that the United States has the
finest fleet in the world and that the ex
cellency of our Navy is due to the fact
that we waited to build ships while Great
Hrltaln spent hundreds of millions of dol
lars upon ships that have become obso
lete. " The ships you have are the best of
their kind,' lie told- xoe," said Hale, - -but
you will find, just as we have found,
the expense of a great navy only begins
when you have built the ships.' "
Warren as Champion of Army.
Warren criticised the naval bill, so far
as it provides for an Increase in the Navy
and the Marine Corps, saying that when
the Increase for the Army was proposed,
it was placed In a separate bill and
brought Into the Senate early in the ses
sion, so that full discussion on It could
be had. He referred to the recent re
marks of Hale, in which the latter had
commented on a newspaper article stating
that the policy of the Secretary of War
J has been to Increase the Regular -Army
to 125.0U0 men. Warren said there seemed
I to be a feeling of resentment toward every
T proposal to Increase the Army, and since
1 the speech of the Senator from Maine
there had been widespread comment on
the extravagance of appropriations for
that branch of the service. Now, he said,
the Navy bill was before the Senate with
provision for an increase in the enlisted
force which it was proposed to pass in a
minute.
"That is because we keep adding ships,"
suggested Hale.
"But the Army is enlarged because we
keep adding countries," retorted Warren.
"We have not added any lately, thank
God." replied the Senator from Maine.
Hale added that he did not have the
Army so much in mind as he had the'
Navy, when he spoke against an In
creased military establishment. He said
he was then preparing to oppose four nert
battleships, "and so far as that goes, I
accomplished my object," he added.
Taft Would Xot Double Army.
Warren had read at the desk a state
ment by Secretary Taft disclaiming that
he was authority for the newspaper
statement that he had a plan for a stand
ing army of 135,000, and a letter from
General Bell. Chief-of-Staff, declaring
that he "never heard of such a thing and
never thought of doubling the Army.'
Foraker interposed to have the speech
of Mr. Taft, delivered at Columbus, O.,
April 3, 1908, concerning enlargement of
the Army, printed in the record and a
part of it read from the Vice-President's
desk.
Warren with some feeling, said it looked
to him that in order to get four, eight
or ten battleships for the Navy, the
"water must be Blackened around the
Army and public attention turned from
It," He said that when another bill is
brought in, it should be "one we know
something about." He did not think the
naval appropriation bill was the proper
place In which to provide for a regiment
of men. So far as he was concerned, he
wanted to have an addition to the Signal
Corps of the Army as that was greatly
needed but that would be comparatively
a small matter.
What Taft Really Said.
Foraker, commenting on the Columbus
speech of Mr. Taft, said that speech in
dicated that the Idea of the -Secretary was
to have legislation to enable the country
in the next ten years, through the reserve
forces, as well as the Regular Army, to
have 250,000 men under arms.
Before the Senate had taken up the
sections relating to 'battleships, the bill
was laid aside until tomorrow.
TIFT SURE OF MAJORITY
CONFIDENT OF OVER 500 VOTES
OX FIRST BALLOT.
Managers finish Work at Capital
and Will Move to Cliicago For
aker Xot Iikely to Bolt.
WASHINGTON, April 22. (Special.)
Arthur I. Vorys, manager of the Taft
headquarters at Columbia; Charles P.
Taft, of Cincinnati, and Frank H. Hitch
cock, manager ofhe Washington Taft
headquarters, had a conference with
Secretary Taft tonight and .rounded up
the entire- situation pertaining to the
campaign for the Presidential nomi
nation. At the conclusion of the conference
Mr. Vorys authorized the statement that
Mr. Taft. allowing for all contests, would
have .upward of 600 votes on the first
ballot' token at the National convention.
The Taft managers count on the votes
of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee
and Texas, but do not consider in their
tables any of thhe other Southern
States where contests are to be made.
In counting 600 and more votes from the
East and West, some are figured from
New England, but none from New
Hampshire. A portion of the Massachu
setts delegation is clahnede.
Mr. Vorys declared that the situation
was so well in hand that it had been
decided to transfer headquarters to Chi
cago, and that just as soon as a few
more of the preliminary conventions in
the country had been held, both he and
Mr. Hitchcock would move thehir desks
to the National convention city.
Regarding the situation in Ohio, Mr.
Vorys would say nothing except that
Senatotr Foraker had never been known
to bolt the nominee of a Republican
convention.

of 14 Workmen.
FORT STEVENS, Or., April 22. (Spe
cial.) An accident resulting In two
deaths occurred on the Government
Jetty this morning. As the plledrlver
was being taken out to the end of the
Jetty to begin the day's work, it in
some unaccountable manner toppled
over and fell to the rocks below and
then into the water. The entire crew
was precipitated into the river and
more or leBS injured, which rendered
the work of rescue much more difficult.
Of the crew of about 14 men two are
nov dead and eight injured.
The dead:
JACOB C. LEHMAN, Hammond, Or.;
chest crushed in.
MARTIN CARLSON. Hammond, Or.;
head crushed and leg broken.
Severely injured:

Or.; leg broken in two places and in
juries about the head.

end foot injured.
Herbert Norton, Hammond, Or.; head
Injured.
John Christenson, Hammond, Or.; in
ternal injuries.
Rube McAfee, Hammond, Or.; severe
ly shaken up.
After the accident a relief train was
dispatched to the end of the jetty, with
Ira E. Gates, Hospital Corps steward,
and four rrten. Stretchers, blankets,
bandages, etc., were obtained at the
post hospital and were taken out on
the train. Sergeant Gates administered
first aid relief and accompanied the
wounded. men on a flat car, which ran
to the post hospital in record time.
Lieutenant C. J. Stedman, Assistant
Surgeon, U. 6. A., had in the mean
time gotten everything ready for the
reception of the wounded men and at
tended them upon their arrival. Leh
man died on. the way in, never regain
ing consciousness. Martin Carlson
lived but two hours after reaching the
hospital.
Although injured; Tenbrook, who
was foreman, directed the operations
of rescuing. the men in the water and
refused to come in until every man
was out.
Fullhart with his leg broken in two
places and his head crushed, was per
fectly conscious and when attended to
said: "I'll be all right, tend to the
others."
Although the exact cause of the acci
dent is not definitely known. It Is the
general opinion that a switch was left
open and the pile driver, being so top
heavy on account of its high gin, was
overbalanced the moment the flanges
of the wheels left the track.

MeBrlde in Speech to Club Says
Ho Continues His Stand for
Railroad Rate Regulation.
SEATTLE, Wash.. April J2. (Special.)
The MeBrlde Republican Club, of King
County, was organized here tonight In
the interests of Henry Mc Bride's Uuber
natorlai candidacy with an initial mem
bership of 1500 and officers as follows:
President, Percy Poison, president of the
Poison Implement Company; vice-president,
Ferdinand Schmitz, ex-Councilman,
donor of a 30-acre park to the city and
a prominent capitalist; secretary, E. L.
Reber. a newspaper man. A feature of
the membership in the club is that 66
lumbermen, representing every company
doing business in Seattle, have signed
the roll.
During the course of a speech to the
club. Mr. MeBrlde called attention to the
statement of his attitude on railroad
legislation explained In his letter announc
ing his candidacy, wherein he refers to
his pioneer advocacy of a regulative com
mission, and continued:
"Thousands who differed from me a
few years ago now agree with me and
believe In the measures I advocated. In
1904, however. I was supposed to occupy
advanced grounds but rather; than vary
an lota from what I believed to be right
I faced deafeat before the Republican
State Convention of that year. But
while I went down to defeat personally,
the Ideas for which myself and my
friends stood prevailed. And I wish to
say to you tonight and through you to the
people of the United States that I would
rather be defeated in this contest than
to compromise upon the question of an
effective regulative Railroad Commission,
or upon the question of an' economical
administration of state affairs or upon
the question of a fair, Just and equitable
distribution of the burden of taxation.
"I am not an optimist. My views are
not affected by the locality In which I
happen to be speaking. They do not
depend upon latitude or longitude. I
have not one set of doctrines for Seattle,
and another for Spokane, one for Tacoma
and another for North Yakima or Walla
Walla. Measures should be placed above
men. Ideas are infinitely 'greater than
individuals. It can matter but little to
you or to the people of the state what
particular individual happens to occupy
the Gubernatorial chair, but it should
matter very much to you what ideas he
represents, what principles he stands
for."
A Tale of "Who's Wlio."
New York World.
Of 14.222 natives of the United
States listed in the 1908-9 issue of
"Who's Who in America,'." 2827 were
born in the State of New York. But
of the total of 16,395 persons listed in
the. book, 4122 have their present resi
dence In this state. Next to New York,
Massachusetts exhibits the largest
number of natives in the list. The
figures are 1650, and the 'Bay state
"present location' count shows 1605.
After Massachusetts follows Pennsyl
vania, with 1427 natives and 1186 in
the "present location" column. For
Ohio the two numbers are 1118 and
593. Coming to Illinois, the lure of
the great city is again in evidence. It
is to Chicago that we must attribute
the 1045 "present location" names ris
ing over 649 natives. Washington's
political importance acconnts for the
1128 "Who's Who" people who have
moved into the District of Columbia
as against the 130 who were born
there. The book lists 1753 persons
born in foreign countries. England is
credited with 356 of these, Germany
with 329, Canada with 287, Ireland 165,
Scotland 126. Few known lands are
omitted from the nativity list. From
such cases as those of Colorado, which
exhibits two natives to 162 mere resi
dents, and Montana, where are 42
residents to one native, the editor of
"Who's Who" reads an indication that
the "trend of activity is decidedly
westward." It Is pretty well estab
lished, nevertheless, that New York
draws from the setting as well as the
rising sun.

Wins Eight-Oared Race on Course at
nAnapolIs.
ANNAPOLIS, Md.. April 22. By less
than a length of its shell today the Naval
Academy crew lost to Harvard's eighth
oared crew one of the most interesting
and spectacular races ever rowed over the
two-mile course on the Severn River.
The time was: Harvard 10 minutes 30
seconds; Navy, 10 minutes 32 seconds. The
record of the course ts about one minute
taster than this.
Rough water made the time rather slow,
but it was one of the closest races ever
rowed on the local course. The Navy led
for the first three fourths of a mile, but
from this point the superior weight and
faster stroke of the Crimson counted for
more than the Midshipmen could offset.
