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."

FACE MURDERER IN COURT
Father and Brother of Mary Srore
kar Testify Against Jancigaj.
OREGON CITT, Or.. July 13. (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

movement to colonize the Holy Land and

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

during the year was the organization in

ON INJUNCTION ISSUE
Indiana Chairman Sees Prospect of
Carrying State Campau or
James Probable Choice for
National Chairman.
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-

Tammany Leader Thinks Bryan May

NEW YORK, July 13. 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?"

DIFFERENT NOW
Athlete Find Better Training Food.
It was formerly the belief that to be
come strong, athletes must eat plenty
of meat.
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." "There's a
