ED OPEN A CHARGE ACCOUNT WITH US- AID BY COnS GRAPE JUICE MILLER S PLANS TURNED ALL AWRY BRYAN PROM b Lively Scrap En Route Enlivens Oregon Delegation to Den ver Convention. SLATE COMPLETELY UPSET Carefully Arranged Distribution of Honors Does Not Go Through. Part of Oregon Representation Returns Pleased at Result. Gratified with the nomination of Bryan and Kern and professing confi dence of their election in November, five members of Oregon s delegation to the Democratic National convention returned from Denver yesterday. The party in eluded C. K. Henry, chairman of the delegation; State Benator M. A. Miller, of Lebanon; J. O. Booth, of Grants Pass; Dan J. Fry. of Salem, and J. D. Slater, of La Grande. John B. Ryan and some of the other delegates remained at the convention city for a few days of sight seeing while F. V. Holman. R. D. Inman and D. M. Watson extended their trip to Eastern cities and will not return until later in the month. The experiences of the delegation In the nig convention were enlivened by a scrap, the result of too many conflicting per sonal ambitions, which developed en route to Denver. As a consequence there were numerous disappointments and the "slate" that had been arranged regardfng committee assignments before the dele gation left Portland was smashed into fragments. The trouble was all precipi tated by the unlimited ambitions of Sen ator Miller, who. it is said, wished to dominate the delegation and dictate the programme. Miller Lays Ills Wires. Shortly after the train left Portland, it was discovered that Miller had done con siderable missionary work following the state convention and before the party left for Denver. He had secured the pledges of a sufficient number of the delegates to insure his election as National com mitteeman. In addition he desired to bj made chairman of the delegation, wanted important committee assignments that conflicted with the prearranged distribu tion of these honors and. It Is charged, had gone so far as to prepare a speech seconding the nomination of Bryan. Mil ler denies that he prepared any such a speech although he admits that had the contingency beer, presented, he would have taken part in the speechmaking. It was when Miller undertook to enforce the programme he had arranged that a spirit of rebellion arose among some of the members of the delegation, who in sisted that Miller had received adequate honors from the Democracy of the state and should be content for once in his life to step aside and consent to a distribution of the favors. But the sage of Lebanon stood pat. C. K. Henry is said to have taken the lead in the anti-Miller demon stration and. in the discussion of the situ ation which took place there is said to have been no room for misunderstanding between the conflicting elements. Several Hopes Blasted. The outcome of it all was the blasting of the hopes of several of the members of the delegation. In the final line-up, Henry was made chairman of the delega tion and it was largely through his per sonal efforts that the arrangement was made by which ex-Senator J. M. Geann, of this city, seconded tne nomination of Bryan in a creditable and eloquent ad dress. R. D. Inman was given the im portant place of member of the sub-committee on resolutions. D. M. Watson lost out because of his loyalty to Miller and failed to secure the support of the dele gation as a member of the committee to notify Bryan of his nomination. That was the great desire of Watson, who had been working earnestly to gain the honor ever since he was elected a delegate. In stead, the membership on this committee was given to L. M. Travs. of Eugene. All Senator Miller drew out of the wreck was election as National commit teeman but with that he is eminently satisfied. Some of the delegates wanted to sidetrack Miller in this ambition but he proved too formidable, having secured the positive pledges of more than a ma jority of the delegation to support him for the place before the oartv left Port. land and the numerous desires of the unn county senator had become known. For that reason a sufficient number to elect refused at that stage of the game to throw Miller down and he was conceded the Job of National committeeman. Oregon Takes Prominent Part. "The Oregon delegation had quite a prominent part in the proceedings of the convention." said Mr. Henry yester day after his return. "Probably the most notable recognition our delega tion received was the privilege ac corded ex-Senator Goarln of seconding the nomination of Bryan. That was made, possible only after California had graciously surrendered its place on the rollcal! to Oregon. The appointment of R. D. Inman as a member of the sub committee on resolutions was also a noteworthy recognition given this state, in addition to these two inci dents, other members of the delegation were given less prominent committee assignments. "Our delegation, of course, was a unit in supporting Bryan for President. For Vice-President, our choice on first ballot was C. A. Towne, of New, YorS, but when our name was called on the rollcall we passed only to find that Kern was unmistakably the choice of the convention, while Towne had no chance. When It came time for us to vote, we joined the Kern forces. In casting the vote for the delegation, however, Towne having in the mean time withdrawn, I took occasion to compliment him on hie eloquence and ability. In the same connection my reference to the fact that Oregon was the first Republican state to elect a Democratic United States Senator by popular vote was received with a re markable demonstration. . "The convention was one of the grandest gatherings I have ever wit nessed. There was an air of wonder ful refinement and an elevated feeling pervading the entire auditorium. The decorum of the Immense assemblage of 15,000 people was surprisingly good. Many, women were In attendance and the Interior of the building was as clean and orderly as a plate of wor ship. There was no smoking and not the slightest evidence of liquor about the premises. The people of Denver in their entertainment of the visitors were hospitality Itself. Denver Is in deed a beautiful city and I was parti cularly impressed with the faultless condition in which its streets are kept." A. Coolrldge, Sllvcrlon Banker. S1LVERTON. Or.. July 13. (Special.)

(Spe cial.) Matthew Jancigaj, charged with the murder of 15-year-old Mary Smre kar. was this afternoon given a prelim inary hearing before Justice of the Peace Samson, and committed to the County Jail without bail. Walter A. Dimick appeared as attorney for the prisoner, who has lost hits smile of yes terday. JancigaJ's sharp black eyes roved about the room, never resting a minute, and he uttered not a word. He waived examination and his attor ney did not avail himself of the privi lege of examining the state's witnesses who were John Smrekar, the father of the murdered girl; Joe Smrekar, her brother, and Dr. George Hoeye, who lives in the same black In which the Smrekar home ifi located. Dr. Hoeye positively Identified Jan cigaj as the man who ran past his win dow after the fatal shots were fired. The doctor swore that he saw the mur derer's face plainly in the glare of the lamplight. Jancigaj was given a chair near the witness box, but the father of the dead girl refused to sit beside his daughter's elayer while giving his testimony. "I don't want to sit beside that man!" he exclaimed, and he was permitted to testify from a seat on the other side of the bench. The father and son showed no emotion, coming from a stoi cal race, but their hatred for the pris oner burned in their eyes. It is not probable that Jancigaj will be tried before the regular November term. Under the new law a special grand jury would have to be summoned to return an Information against him. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Stipp is working on the case. The funeral of Mary Smrekar will be held at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning from St. John's Church. Interment will be in the Catholic cemetery. SALEM FARMER SUICIDES Mentally Deranged. He Secures Knife and Cuts His Throat. SALEM, Or., July 13. (Special.) Schuyler Ruble, a well known farmer residing two miles west of Salem,,com mitted suicide this morning- by cut ting his throat with a' pocket knife. Ruble had been suffering' from mental derangement for several weeks and had been taking treatment at a sanitarium in Portland. About a week ago he came to the home of his mother in Polk County and has been taken care of by his brothers. This morning he was left alone for a moment and 'when his brother re turned he had secured possession of a pocket knife. The brother tried to take it away from him but the de mented man slashed with the knife and kicked viciously until he had over powered his guardian, and then cut his own throat. He was 43 years old and leaves a wife and three children. He was for merly engaged in mining in Southern Oregon and was well to do. FOLLOWS HUSBAND WEST Chicago Couple Involved in Sensa tional Divorce Suit. LOS ANGELES, July 13. (Special.) Fleeing from his wife and declaring the child she bore after ten years of wedded life is not his, Willis Albert Mayr is now defending a divorce suit before Judge James, in which he will seek to justify his course. The suit was brought by Ann Etta Mayr, who followed htm from Chi cago. She alleges that the blasting of the reputation of his -year-old son waa the climax of Mayr's alleged cruelty. Mayr was a manufacturer in Chicago and made money. He is worth $100,000, and has a broker's office here. In a long list of charges his wife asks divorce and alimony because of desertion and inhuman cruelty. Mayr charges in his cross-complaint that his wife is a devotee of music, art, the occult sciences, Ibsen and Blavatsky, and culminated her absorption in these things by indiscreet conduct with Joseph Gahm, an Austrian, pianist of note, who toured this country recently. REFUSES TO PROSECUTE Frank Gibson In the Wrong In Ore gon City Affray. OREGON CITY, Or., July 13. (Spe cial.) It is probable that Pat Murry, who yesterday morning shot Frank Gibson in the forearm because the lat ter refused to leave the Murry home, will not be prosecuted, as Gibson says he will not make a complaint against his assailant. It now appears that Gibson was unable to obtain a bed in town and that Murry gave him shelter, and was repaid for his kindness by his guest getting drunk and trying to run him out of his own house. Murry was chased out of his back door, but ran around and entered the front way, securing his shot gun and putting a stop to Gibson's combative ness. WINNING BACK HOLY LAND Zionists Hear With Enthusiasm of Success of Colonies. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., July 13. The report of the Palestine department was the feature of today's session of the an nual convention of the American Federa tion of Zionists. The progress of the movement to colonize the Holy Land and the success of the colonies already set tled there were the most interesting por tions of the paper. The committee was appointed at the session held at Basle in The report was followed with great en thusiasm as marking the sure return of the Hebrew Nation to Its ancient home. The report of the National fund commit tee showed a gratifying increase in the fund and those of the Jewish colonial trust proved to be equally flourishing. Reports show an increase in the num ber of societies that have joined the fed eration. A very encouraging development during the year was the organization in various parts of the country st the chil dren's societies- Fine Building for Eugene. EUGENE. Or.. July 13. (Special.) F. E.

FAIRVIEW, Lincoln. Neb.. July 13. Samuel Gompers. president of the Amer ican Federation of Labor and ' inferen tially head of 3.O0O.OOO voters of organized labor affiliated with the federation, will support William J. Bryan in the coming Presidential campaign. In political cir cles here today this announcement over shadowed all others, even the arrival of John W. Kern, the Vice-Presidential nom inee. Mr. Gompers support was promised to the ticket, but he specifically denied any present Intention of taking the stump in the coming campaign. Reports gained circulation that the labor leader would speak from the platform, but he made no such announcement. As he left Fair view, after a 15 minutes' interview with Mr. Bryan, his manner was enthusiastic and his promises satisfactory to 'Mr. Bryan. f Gompers Xot Going on Stump. At present, it is believed, there will be no need for Mr. Gompers' services in an oratorical sense. Mr. Gompers does not expect to be called upon to speak pub licly in the campaign. The Republican convention, he asserts, ignored the de mands of labor, and the Democrats in corporated them in their platform. His course is clear; he will do what Is de manded of him in the interests of la bor best expressed In the platform adopted at Denver. As. the situation is at present Mr. Gompers' efforts can be better expended elsewhere than on the speaker's stand. Chairman of the Indiana Central Com mittee Jackson, after talking with Mr. Bryan, declared that Indiana would go for Bryan by 10.000 votes. He based this prediction on a canvass which he said he had been making since the middle of January. He anticipated the enrollment of many Roosevelt Republicans on the Bryan list. Mr. Bryan told his visitors that it had been reported he would make a front porch campaign; he was by no means certain of this but admitted that he had promised to make a speech in Chicago on Labor Day. Aside from this single date the candidate for the Presidency had made no plans. Campau or James for Chairman. Interest today naturally centered in the visit here tomorrow of members of the new National committee. Dr. Hall, Na tional committeeman from Nebraska, yes terday stated that the chairmanship of the committee lay among Messrs. James, of Kentucky; Campau. of Michigan; Lamb, of Indiana, and Atwood, of Kan sas. Today speculation on the subject had narrowed to Mr. Campau and Mr. James, to the latter largely because Mr. Bryan has expressed much admiration of his political and intellectual qualities, and Mr. Campau because of his admitted busi ness ability. David R. Francis Is out of it by his ov- n plea that, though stories of his con nection with Standard Oil were untrue, the libels were sufficient to prevent his running for any office. Tom L. Johnson has been eliminated, it is said, by his fiat refusal to occupy any office where e might be asked for legislative favors in exchange for campaign contributions. Mr. Johnson has admitted Wall street connections, but none with whom he would care to mix politically. Each Has Fine Qualities. Current gossip has therefore narrowed the contest to Mr. Campau and Mr. Lamb. Neither has expressed himself as desir ing the position, but neither has denied ambition in that direction, Mr. Campau has been defeated for the National com mitteeship from the Wolverine State, but his business ability is undisputed; Mr. Lamb i3 credited with marked influence in his home state and the peculiar abili ties which make for a successful cam paign manager. Thus it is on the eve of the meeting of the National committee with Mr. Bryan tomorrow. Mr. Bryan does not desire to name the chairman himself, but the absence of Initiative on the part of his supporters possibly will compel him in the end to do so. KER.V WELCOMED BY BRYAN Candidate Confers With Leaders of Labor Federation. FAIRVIEW, Lincoln, Neb., July 13. The heads of the Democratic ticket William J. Bryan and J. W. Kern met at Falrview today for . the first time since their respective nominations for first and second place. "Ah! how's the Vice-President?" asked Mr. Bryan as the gray-bearded Indianan stepped from the trolley car at "Bryan station." What Mr. Kern said was lost In the confusion, but his handshake was vig orous and his smile exceedingly cheer ful. In quick succession Mr. Bryan greet ed U. S. Jackson, chairman of the State Central Committee of Indiana; Abram Simmons, who was delegate-at-large from the Hoosier State; John E. Os borne, a member of the Indiana State Central Committee; Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor; Frank Morrison, secretary of the Federation, and James Duncan. Mr. Bryan at once ushered the three labor leaders into his library, where he was in close conference with them for some time. While the conference was being held in side the house, Mr. Kern and hie Indiana colleagues, Martin ' H. Walsh, of Clinton, Iowa, and M. V. Gannon, of Davenport. Iowa, talked over the political situation In the southern part of Iowa. The Jowans held out much encouragement for Demo cratic success in that state. Mr. Kern re mained for luncheon. He will leave Lin coln tomorrow afternoon for Indianapolis, where on Wednesday evening he will be given a rousing reception by his fellow Democrats. It develops that the conference here Saturday between Theodore A. Bell and Mr. Bryan, concerned particularly the campaign plans for Mr. Bell's state, Cali fornia. The Democrats could not carry that state. Mr. Bell urged, if the policies of President Roosevelt were attacked. Mr. Bryan, who maintains that the Presi dent's reforms are Democratic, agreed with the Californian and the so-called Roosevelt reforms will not be an issue on the Pacific Coast. Mr. Bryan has concluded that his noti fication should come after that of Mr. Taft and he has advised Representative Henry D. Clayton, chairman of the com- Labor Leader.

Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany leader, and sev eral of his personal followers arrived in New York today from the Demo cratic National Convention in Denver. Mr. Murphy says he believes the Demo cratic National ticket has a good chance of carrying; New York State this year. "Everything in this state is harmoni ous now," he said. "The upstate lead ers with whom I have talked seem to think the outlook in their districts is very bright. I am sure that the states in the Middle West can be relied upon, too, for Bryan and Kern." Mr. Murphy would not discuss the handshaking episode at Lincoln, when he was met at the railway station by the Democratic nominee for the Presi dency. Martin W. Littleton was quite will ing to describe the meeting, however. "It was a very cordial greeting," said he, with an expansive smile. "On both sides?" "Cordial on both sides.'

This is all out of date now, and many trainees feed athletes on the well known food, Grape-Nuts, made of wheat and barley, and cut the meat down to a small portion, once a day. "Three years ago," writes a Michigan man, "Having become interested In athletics, I found I would have to stop eating- pastry and some other kinds of food. "I got tome Grape-Nuts and was soon eating the food at every meal, for I found that when I went on the track. I felt more lively and active. "Later, I began also to drink Postum in place of coffee and the way I gained muscle and strength on this diet was certainly great. On the day of a field meet in June I weighed 124 pounds. On the opening of the football season in Sept. I weighed 140. I attributed my fine condition and good work to the discontinuation of improper food and coffee, and the using of Grape-Nuts and Postum. my principal diet during training season being Grape-Nuts. "Before I used Grape-Nuts I never felt right in the morning always kind of 'out of sorts' with my stomach, but now when I arise I feel good, and after a breakfast largely of Grape Nuts with cream, and a cup of Postum I feel like a new man."
