This telegram, sent by the New York editor from some Kansas town, the name of which could not be deciphered, was received by Mr. Bryan at Fair view today, and although Mr. Bryan made no comment his pleasure was evi dent In the buoyant tone in which he read the statement. It was Mr. Rldder who, before the Denver convention, called here with the announced intention of asking Mr. Bryan to withdraw from the field, on the ground, in Mr. Ridder's opinion, that Mr. Bryan could not win In No vember. Lincoln Democrats declare that Mr. Rldder did not press this point, however, upon visiting Fairview. He departed from Lincoln in a. happy frame of mind, with-Mr, Bryan's O. K. on his free wood-pulp plank. . Bryan . to Pick Chairman. Dr. P. L.'Hall, Nebraska's new mem ber of the National Committee, dis cussed with Mr. Bryan today arrange ments for Mr. Bryan's meeting with the committee here Tuesday. The qualifi cations of a number of men for the po sition of chairman of the committee were talked over informally, but their names were not to be learned, either from Mr. Bryan or Dr.' Hall. There is a disposition to leave the final selection to Mr. Bryan. Dr. Hall admitted that he had In mind a man who he thought would best fill the office, and that Mr. Bryan had another. However, It is pre dicted that the end of the meeting here will see the chairmanship a settled fact and much of the campaign mapped out. Later Mr. Hall thought it safe to say the new chairman would be one of the follow ing: D. J. Campau, Michigan; J. E, Lamb, Indiana: OUIe James, Kentucky, and J. H. Atwood, Kansas. All save Cam pau are members of the National com mittee. Mr. Bryan has received numerous ten ders of the services of speakers. Nearly all of them, if their letters are given full credit, are spellbinders of resistless appeal. Musicians also have been early on the ground, and the men who make banners and buttons and get out print ing and pictures. Such of these matters as deserve attention will be turned over to the National committee Tuesday. Greetings From Johnson's Men. Among Mr. Bryan's supporters whose activities will be given the widest range possible is Governor Johnson, of Minne sota. This word was given when some 40 or 60 of the Johnson corporals who went from Minneapolis to Denver to light for the Governor called at Fair view today. In token of surrender of the Johnson forces, Lester Ellwood gave up his flag with Johnson's name on it to Mr. Bryan, the latter declaring that It should have a conspicuous place among the trophies'of Fairview. "The fight is over, and we're with you now." was the assurance given Mr. Bryan by Congressman Hammond, who placed Governor Johnson In nomination. This delegation and one which wae re turning to Cleveland were the only formal visitors at Fairview today, both being shown through the Bryan home and chat ting informally with the candidate. Mr. Bryan smiled at the story of his offer to share the White House with his running mate. Mr. Kern. He admitted the facts in the case but said that the matter had been merely considered a Jest brought about by Mr. Kern's in elstance that he was too poor to uphold the social responsibilities of the office. Prefers to Stay With Chickens. Mr. Bryan has been urged by soma of his friends to spend the remainder of the Summer at some resort where he could rest and gather strength for the Fall campaign, but he much prefers to remain among his chickens and alfalfa. He is accustomed to the climate which, though hot In Summer. Is not burdened with debilitating humidity. The candi date is in perfect health and believe he can rest better in his country home than anywhere else on earth. At a Sum mer resort he would be the firey of the autograph souvenir hunters and the Idly curious to a greater extent than Is pos sible at Fairview. The following from a North Carolina editor was received at Fairview today: "Tom Watson quotes you as saying you would never vote for a Confederate veteran. Does this misrepresent you?" In reply. Mr. Bryan telegraphed that he never made any such statement: that h had voted for a Confederate veteran (Concluded on rasa Powder Wounds Cause Blood-Poisoning and Intense Suffering to Youthful Victims.

The burn occasioned no anxiety, as It was very slight and nothing serious was thought of it until Friday, when symptoms of lockjaw became manifest Doctors In attendance have given up all hope of saving the boy's life,', and he is suffering intense agony that nothing but death can relieve. In the case of Arthur Bauer, of Ritz ville, the lad received a powder burn from a blank .cartridge. The next day he became ill. suffcrod from lockjaw, and on the third day was dead. Harold Slorah, of North Yakima, lived 11 days after wadding was fired Into the palm of his hand by a toy pistol. On the tenth day he was taken sick, was seized with lockjaw and In a few hours was dead. CUT WAGES OR RAISE RATES How Chairman Knapp Views Rail road Situation. WASHINGTON, July 12. (Special.) Martin A. Knapp, chairman Interstate Commerce Commission, was asked today about the statement of E. P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe, to the effect that railroad rates would have to be ad vanced. Knapp said he did not see how it could be avoided and remarked that railroads did not : seem to have had their share in the prosperity that had attended the country fluting the past- two years. "Railroads In the West," said he, "have been considering the question of Increase In freight rates. I am in thorough ac cord with the position of W. C Brown, of the New . York Central, that wages will have to come down or rates be in creased." BOAT BLOWSUP; FOUR DEAD Outing Party Meets Death When - Launch Explodes. - MARION. Mass., July. 12.

Insulted South In Effort to Gain Jiegro Vote. NEW YORK. July 12. (Special.) Thomas B. Watson, nominee of the People's party for President, and once nominated . by that party for Vice President on the same ticket with Bryan, in a long telegram to the World makes a bitter attack on William J. Bryan, the Democratic candidate, in the course of which he says: "To cater to the financiers, to dis arm the hostility of the National bank ers, to court favor from the rich and the great, Mr. Bryan becomes a de serter from the cause of the unpriv ileged masses, into whose champion ship he rushed in 1896 with a boldness which captured applause, and with a fervor of lip which seemed to flow from honesty of heart. Quoting with out credit the words of another, he sprang into fame on a phrase, and was followed with passionate zeal by the millions who did not want to be cruci fied upon 'a cross of gold.' The Con stitution of this country is still the same that it was when Bryan thrilling ly promised the people immunity from a 'crown of thorns.' The money sys tem which he denounced is just the same infernal thing that U was in 1896; its victims, the financially dead and the financially wounded, still litter the fields over which swept the deso lating panic of last year, but Bryan has changed. Sacrifices Duty for Ambition. "No longer the enthusiastic tribune of the people, he is a truckler to power, a recreant from pledge and promise, a calculating, selfishly ambitious poli tician, who would betray any friend and apostatize from any people to win the prize. It is in Bryan that t'ie change has taken place: It is in Bryan that there has been a falling away; it is in Bryan that we find the unclean spirit. Instead of standing to his col ors like a man, putting devotion to duty above every other sarthly- con sideration, thereby winning a place In the loving admiration- of the people more splendid than the highest office, he has taken the broad and well-trod path of political prostitution. "It I is simply monstrous that W. J. Bryan's burning ambition for office should drag the historic party of Jef ferson and Jackson into the mire ot such political shame. ' Appeals to Classes and Masses. "Was Bryan a Democrat in 1896? If so. he is not a Democrat now. Was the (Concluded on Page 8.) MIDSUMMER DULLNESS? NONSENSE, FOR THERE IS NO SUGH THING- Healthy Evidences of Prosperity Throughout the "Entire Pacific Northwest. Just Look at the July Statistics for Portland, for Example "Midsummer dullness" has become a stock phrase in commercial and financial circles, but there is nothing in the statistics for the first few days of July .that indicate dullness in this city. The building industry was so active in June that Portland approached within 3 per cent of the high mark that was reached when we were on the crest of the wave of good times in June, 1907. .It is perhaps too early in the month to estimate accurately what proportion the July figures will bear to those of June, but, for the first nine business days of the month, the showing is remarkable and most emphatically disposes of any inti mation of a midsummer dullness in real estate or building operations. The twelve days of July ending yesterday included three holidays, and, during the nine business days, there were issued building permits to the extent of $504,375, compared with $225,000 for the first nine days in June. Real estate transfers for the same period this month were $607,227, compared with $347,450 for the same period in June. Ac tivity in building is always reflected to a certain extent in statistics on mortgages, and in this feature July makes a much more favorable showing than June. Mortgages placed on record for the first nine days of July were $269,986, and mortgage releases filed amounted to $193,443, showing a balance against the borrowers of but $76,543. For the first nine days in June, the mortgages placed on record amounted to $265,390, and the releases were but $157,182, .the balance against the borrowers thus being $108,208, or more than $40,000 greater than in July, on practically the same amount involved. This upward trend is not unexpected, for there has been unmistakable evidence of returning prosperity in the East. Portland suffered less from the financial strain of last Fall than-any of the Eastern cities, and it is accordingly quite natural that return of better times in other -qrts of the country would meet with lib eral response here. The amount of building already planned for the latter half of the year makes it almost a certainty that within the next three months we shall have recovered fully all lost ground, and, in spite of the much lower cost of materials and labor, the totals will reach, and may exceed, those of last year at corresponding periods. By the time this "midsummer dullness" which we have become ac customed to expect wears off, we shall be in the midst of another great harvest. Prospects for the crop are not as bright as they were last year, but. the most conservative authorities do not place the crop of the Northwest below 40,000,000 bushels of wheat, which, with from 10,000,000 to 15,OOQ,000 bushels of oats and barley, will at present prices distribute, more than $40,000,000 in a territory nearly all tribu tary to Portland. This, .with the gradual improvement in the lumber trade, a good crop of fruit, large salmon pack, hops, wool, dairy products and a few other resources that have made Oregon famous, will soon make It very difficult for the chronic pessimists to secure a hearing. Armenians at Chicago Commons Talking Over Library Club Call Forth Armed Ratd. CHICAGO, July 12. (Special.) A squad of police with drawn revolvers charged on a riotous Armenian meeting at Chi cago Commons this afternoon, intent upon making a wholesale arrest of a band of Armenians said to be anarchists and revolutionists. A desperate battle was being waged in the little hall when the police entered.- , At the sight of the revolvers the men broke into a wild flight. They tumbled over each other in an effort to reach the stairs and get away from the police. A count of the prisoners showed only two and they were later released. The Armenians denied emphatically that they were anarchists and revolu tionists. They said they were harmless, Inoffensive members of the Armenian Library Club and that the riot was not caused by an outburst of anger against a Turk or crowned head, but was an effort on their p"art to straighten out the books of the club, to ascertain its finan cial standing. The discussion, whatever it was about, grew so heated) that several of the mem bers of the society broke away from their moorings and began to hurl things just as the police charge took place. TAFT WALKS TO CHURCH Talks Politics Later With Senator Warner, of Missouri. HOT SPRINGS, Va., July 12. William H. Taft, RepubHcan nominee for the Presidency, enjoyed a rest from his usual occupations today. In the morning he walked to St. Luke's Episcopal church, only a stone's throw from his rooms in the hotel, accompanied by Mrs. Taft and listened to a doctrinal discourse by Rev. John G. Scott, the rector. There' was the same small assemblage that charac terized the services last Sunday morning, less than 100 people being present. Up on leaving the little edifice Mr. and Mrs. Taft faced a camera as one of the inevit able accompaniments of Presidential can didacy. Senator Warner, of Missouri, chairman of the notification committee, arrived here today and talked with . Mr. Taft for half an hour. They discussed con ditions in Missouri in which Mr. Taft showed interest. The fact, that during the last five years many farmers have sold their lands in Illinois and Iowa and moved to Missouri and that these far mers are Republicans, was referred to as liable to play a part in the campaign. RAILROAD UP CALAP00IA New Enterprise Said to Be Ready to Start Work. ALBANY, Or., July 12. (Special.) A railroad up the Calapoola Valley from Brownsville seems assured. J. S. Talbot, of Portland, and C. H. Warner, a capi talist who is said to be backing the en terprise, were in Brownsville this week and Talbot, who has been the chief pro moter of the new road, announced that work would begin In 60 days. The .proposed road will connect with the Albany-Springfleld line at Browns ville, and will follow the course of the Calapoola River up past Crawfordsville end Holley and tap one of the best tim ber belts in the world. The proposed road will also run through a good stock and dairying country. A right of way for the line is said to have been already secured as far as Crawfordsville, the deeds being placed in escrow to "become the property of the company if the road Is completed by August 1, 1909. Dying Vigilante Tells Thrilling Tale. BREAKS COMPACT ON DEATHBED George Downer Gives Story to World After 35 Years. SHOT IN RUNNING FIGHT Pursued by Armed Posse, Fugitives Open Fire First Father Falls, Girl Escape, but Is Captured and Makes Confession. CHICAGO, July 13. (Special.) After 35 years the secret of the fate qf the Ben der family of infamous memory has been revealed. After they fled from their blood-reeking shanty on the Kansas prairie, they disappeared as completely as if the earth had swallowed them. Since" that time many '.minors of how they got away to Mexico, to Canada, to California, to Germany, and many other places have been circulated. Stories of their annihilation by sher iffs and United States marshals have been told only to be discredited. At fre quent Intervals men and woman have been accused of being members of the family of murderers, several confessed the charge was true, and two were tried, on It, but In every case It was. proved conclusively that the persons were either unjustly accused, insane, or notoriety-seeking cranks. Eye-Witness of Tragedy. The fate of the four of the most ter rible criminals of modern times re mained a mystery until the secret was revealed yesterday by a man sick unto death, who for over SO years has lived the life of a respected and honored busi ness man in a Chicago suburb. The man who tells the wonderful story gives nothing from hearsay, nothing from rumor or "reasoning," but his is the recital of an eye-witness, of a man who watched the fiends at work, who helped to organize the posse which pursued the fleeing murderers, and was present, gun in hand, until Kate Bender, fighting to the last, plunged with a bullet in her forehead, across the bodies of her moth er, father and brother. . Dying, He Relates Grew some Tale. George Evans Downer, of Downer's Grove, grandson of Pierce Downer, who founded the settlement in 1833, told the story, fully believing he Is on his death bed and that it Is his duty to publish the truth to the world. A compact en tered Into by the members of the vigil ance committee at the time had kept his lips sealed all these years, but realiza tion that if he did not speak the truth might never be known. Induced him to tell how he assisted In the extermination of the fiendish family. Fugitives Open Fire.

Once Brilliant Man in Attempting to Abuse Child Receives Scratch That Ends Life. CHICAGO. July 12. (Special.) Robert E. Morey, alumnus of Columbia - Univer sity, brilliant Latin and Greek scholar, former principal of Poughkeepsie. N. T., High School, died in fearful agony yester day at Cpok County Hospital from a wound administered by his 15-year-old daughter as she was defending herself from his drunken fury. She was mending a dress and had a pair of small scissors in her hand when her father attempted to drag her from the chair by her hair, and beat her as he iV Right Rev. Charles J. O'Reilly, Bishop of Eastern Oregon Dio erne, Who Is Seeking; Health In CaMfornla. frequently did. In attempting to shield her face she put up her hands and the in furiated man struck the scissors with great force. He gave the wound no attention and In his wretched physical condition it rapidly became worse. He was finally removed to the hospital so far advanced with blood poison that the case was hopeless. When the police heard the facts of the attack and the pitiful history of the family, they sent the girl home and the death is offi cially reported as an accident. SEEKS HEALTH IN SOUTH Bishop O'Reilly, of Oregon, Sojourn ing in Northern California. SAN FRANCISCO, July 12. (Special.) The Right Rev. Charles J. O'Reilly, Cath olic bishop of Oregon, arrived in this city today.

Bishop O'Reilly has been bishop of Oregon since 1903, and previous to that year he had been consultor of the archbishop and held other offices in the diocese while a priest. He is compelled to seek rest and recuperation in the milder climate of California. REBELS BEG FOR AMNESTY Quail Before . Bombardment . : of Kaehin Khan's Batteries. LONDON. July 12.

CORA HOSFORD'S HEROIC DEED Girl of 14 Bravely Rescues Father and Uncle. THEN TRIES TO AID COUSIN Captain Pern Hosford and W. B, Patterson Are Revived After Be ing Dragged From River Near WashougaL Fourteen-year-old Mildred Lions, 448 East ABh street, lost her life by drown ing in a slough connecting with the Co lumbia River at Washougal, Wash., Sat urday night, while her cousin, Cora Hos ford, also 14 years old, proved herselt a heroine, by rescuing her father, Captala Pern Hosford, and her uncle, W. y. Patterson, from drowning. It was only with the greatest difficulty, that the little girl succeeded in rescuing the two men, and she risked her own. life In frantic efforts to rescue her cou sin. Having aided her uncle to reach tho shore, she went back to the rescue of the others. Her father was sinking when she reached his side. Seising him ty the hair, she held him up until she reached shallow water, and her uncle, having recovered sufficiently, aided in removing him to the bank. Swims Back for Cousin. Then the girl swam back into the river to aid her cousin. She succeeded in bringing the body of Mildred Long to shore, but not in time to save her life. Physicians and experts from Washougal were summoned by the crowd that gath ered on the banks of the lagoon and made desperate but vain efforts to re vive Mildred long. However, they sud ceedej in reviving Captain Hosford who was unconscious for more than 20 min utes. Mr. Patterson also required medi cal assistance, but both he and Captain Hosford will suffer no serious results. 1AU tie Cora Hosford was uninjured. Doctors Give Up Fight. After vainly attempting to resuscitate: Mildred Long for more than half an hour the physicians abandoned their efforts. The remains were brought to Portland yesterday and the Xuneral will probably be held Tuesday. The body Is at Fin ley's establishment, where the funeral will be held. As a result of the death of the child, the mother, Mrs. W. B. Patterson, Is prostrated and physicians express serious doubts of her recovery. She cannot weep. It Is said, and her deep and silent grief may have serious effects upon her heart; Twice, almost within the year, have ths waters of the Columbia exacted cruel toll of ths woman. And with the death Saturday evening she is childless, hav ing paid the tribute of two children tot the great river. Another Child Was Drowned. ! June 13, last year, her 16-year-old son, Harold Long, was drowned In the Coi lumbia, and her grief is consequently, two-fold. The boy was returning to Portland from Washougal, He was mak ing the trip in a canoe, when it over turned and he was lost. Harold Long's fate was not known at the time of his disappearance and two weeks elapsed before the river gave up the secret of its dead. Meanwhile re wards had been offered for a trace of the boy, and searching parties patrolled the shores for miles. Finally an upturned canoe was found in a cove, where it had been swept by the current and eddies. The river at that point was dragged and the body of the boy recovered. He and the littla girl who was drowned yesterday wera the mother's only children. Both Men Well Known. Mr. Patterson, step-father of the sir! who was drowned. Is chief weigher in the Government Custom-House in this city. On July 4 he and his wife and daughter-in-law went to Washougal to spend his vacation at the home of his; brother-in-law. Captain Hosford. Captain Hosford is well known in maritime circles along the Columbia, and is now in com mand of the steamer Jessie Harkins. Almost every evening since their ar rival at Washougal the two men have taken the two girls swimming in a lagoon which is caused by the high water of the Columbia. Both men are good swimmers, and the girls were also adepts in that sport. It was 8 o'clock Saturday evening when they went into the water. Many times they have waded across the lagoon, and on that evening they started to swim across. Evidently they did not follow the course they had followed in wading, for when exhaustion overcame them neither of the men could touch bottom. Two Swim to Safety. In their course across the lagoon Mr. Patterson was accompanying the Hosford girl and Captain Hosford Mildred Long. They were separated by only a short dis tance. When they had reached the mid dle of the Jagoon Cora Hosford called to Mr. Patterson that she was tired. He swam close to her and told her to place her hands on his shoulders.' She did so
