THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN, SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1908. 3 BRYAN IS FLAYED BY TOM WATSON Populist Candidate Denies Peerless One Title of Democrat. MAKES APPEAL TO SOUTH Only Hope of Political Power Is to Turn Against Bryan Saj's N'e braskan Has Shed Pop ullst Clothes. MACON, Ga., July 34. Thomas E. Watson, Populist candidate for Presi dent opened his campaign here last night in a speech of one hour to an audience that taxed the capacity of the Grand opera house. He asked for Georgia's electoral votes and said, if necessary, he would give them to Bryan to defeat Taft. Hfs assaults were all directed at Bryan, however, and his praises were for Koosevelt and Taft. His charge against Bryan of refusing to vote for Crisp for Speaker in the Democratic caucus because of his being a Confed erate was heard in silence, but his at tack on the Nebraskan for his attitude in giving the negroes comfort in the Browsville matter was repeatedly ap plauded. Mr. Watson spoke as follows: The greatest purpose of my life now is to put the South back into tho position of National influence -which she held before the civil War and to bring back the reign of Democratic principles as they were prac ticed in the 40a and 50a. The greatest ob stacle in the way Is the apathy of the South itself. If the Southern people would arouse themieUei, they could easily throw off the domination of the Eastern capitalist, who exploits the Southern States through the machinery of the Democratic party. You cull yourselves Democrats Andrew Jackson Democrats ; Thomas Jefferson Democrats and you have never stopped to inquire what are the principles for which Andrew Jack eon and Thomas Jefferson stood. Bryan False to Democracy. You are apiced to vote for Mr. Bryan and yet Mr. Aryan's platform is one which An drew Jackson would have spurned and Thomas Jefferson despised. It represents a disgraceful surrender of principle. In 1898 Mr. Bryan claimed to be aa good a Populiet as Watson. For eight years he wore every shred of clothing which Populism had In Its wardrobe. In 1904 he abandoned his Popu net raiment and entered zealously into the Parker campaign, which he himself had de nounced as a sellout to the Wall-street ele ment of the Democratic party. In Denver he was absolutely in despotic control of the Democratic party. Whatever he wanted done was done. Whoever he wanted thrown out was bounced. The platform Is just what he made and that platform is one of the most shameful abandonments of prin ciple that political history presents. What right hae he to demand the sup port of those citizens who are Democratic In principle upon such a platform as this? And particularly what right has he to ex pect the support of the South ? Upon one principle alone can he hope to get It and that is upon the Idea, that the South Is com pelled to vote the Democratic ticket, no matter -how offensive in principle the plat form may be, nor how much the candidate may insult her. South Aroused to Revolt. Mr. Bryan understands the helpleasness of th South and exploit It to the very .utmost. From the Southern States he must draw 1,'ft of the electoral votes that are necessary to his success, and yet he has treated the Southern States as a purely negligible quantity. In return for her 156 electoral votes ehe gets nothing absolutely nothing The platform recognize no In terest of hers. If the South will follow me in this cam paign, revolting against the odious condi tions under which she is expected to serve Mr. Bryan, she will at once resume her old place In the sisterhood of sections. Being now a Democratic asset, which can be counted on with certainty, no one regards her. pays any attention to her interests or thinks of her feelings. Let the South be come politically uncertain and she will again become politically great. CAVCUS X ABIES CANDIDATES IHegates Disgusted When Wisconsin Convention Does Nothing. MILWAUKEE. July 24. Disgusted over the failure of the State Democratic convention to accomplish anything. 60 or 60 delegates from various parts of the ptate (tot together yesterday and agreed to circulate nomination papers for a state ticket, to be led by J. A. Schmitz. of Milwaukee. The ticket agreed on by the caucus la as follows: Governor. A. J. Schmitz, Milwaukee; Lieutenant-Governor. Bert Adams, Ash land; Secretary of State, Miles T. Git tinps. Monroe; Insurance Commissioner, William Gulllim. Hartford: Treasurer, William Pierstorf. Mlddleton; Attorney General. Evan Evans. Baraboo. Those at the caucus promised that they would take immediate steps to put out nomination papers for the men men tioned in the above list. When the convention reassembled to day. T. M. Clear-, of Platteville. was In troduced as the permanent chairman. In his speech he said: Mr. Bryan hu succeeded in eonvinoinir the publ'c that the pollutes of the Republican party are destructive: that its leaders are the willing tool of special privilege; that its policies brought destruction to industry, while c'ong-resu, adjourned with nothing adequate attempted, confessing its incapacity to cur the sick man. The candidate at Chicago wajs selected by the President aa heir apparent, Federal pat ronage and the full power of the adminis tration besides a subsidised press succeeded In securing his nomination. But the fear of Fryan did not prevent the selection of a standpatter, one of the big four in Con gress, as his running mate and the platform la absolutely a atandpat platform. The platform adopted indorses the National Democratic platform and espe cially commends its declarations respect ing tariff reduction, trust control, valua tion of railroad property and the election of lnited States Senators by direct vote of the people. DAXIELS REASSURES BRYAX Solid South in Xo Danger Xegroes riedge Support. FAIRVIEW. Lincoln. Neb.. July 24. A steady stream of visitors at Fairview kept William J. Bryan on the qui Vive all of today and tonight. They began coming early in the morning and included returning delegates to the Denver con vention, politicians, representatives of a Negro Bryan and Kern Club, members of the local Order of Maccabees and many others, who came out merely to pay their respects. It was perhaps one of the busiest days the Democratic candidate has spent recently. Probably the most important visitor was Josephus Daniels, of Raleigh. N. C, pro prietor of the News and Observer. Na tional committeeman and member of the subcommittee of 11 to select a chairman and other officers of the committee. His friendship and political judgment are highly prised by Mr. Bryan and for that reason he was summoned here for a conference on the political situation with special reference to conditions In the Southern states. The Democratic nominee was assured that the South would be solidly for him and thai the claims alleged to emanate from Republican sources that they would carry North Carolina, Virginia and Geor gia were but dog-day politics. Not the least interesting happening of the day was the visit of a delegation of local negroes, heretofore staunch Repub licans, who called to pledge their active support to the Democratic ticket. They were accorded a hearty welcome and urged by Mr. Bryan to keep in touch with their colored brethren throughout the country and work harmoniously to ward Democratic success. Beginning with today. Mr. Bryan re tires as editor of the Commoner, a signed letter In the paper announcing that his candidacy for Presidency makes it neces sary for him to take, such action. Coupled with it is the Interesting state ment that as a personal campaign con tribution, the profits of the Commoner over and above actual running expenses, will be turned over to the Democratic campaign fund. Mr. Bryan will leave tomorrow after noon for Chicago, accompanied by hi brother, Charles W. Bryan, Robert F. i Rose, his secretary, and a number of newspaper correspondents. It is not doubted that a number of speeches will be made on the return trip. Monday afternoon and night Mr. Bryan will spend in Omaha, and while there will be initiated Into the mysteries of the Ak-Sar-Ben. a secret society of Nebraska business men. This will be followed by a banquet. He will re-turn here Tuesday morning. BPYAX LAYS DOWX PEXCIL Retires From Editorial Work to Con- duct His Campaign. LJNCOIN", Neb., July 24. William J. Bryan has retired from active work on The Commoner, and will not be per sonally responsible for matter appear ing: In It during the present campaign. Charles W. Bryan will be the publisher, and Richard L. Metcalfe, the editor, dur ing the campaign. The following state ment was iesued by Mr. Bryan rela tive to the change In the editorial staff. "My candidacy makes It necessary for me to suspend editorial work, anif I desire to have It known that I shall not be held personally responsible for matter appearing in The Commoner during the campaign, except that which appears over my signature. My brother, Mr. Charles Bryan, who has had charge of the publication since its establishment, will assume control un til November, and the associate ditor. Richard I Metcalfe, will during that time be editor. The Commoner will publish such speeches, letters, etc., aa I may prepare for the general public and the readers of The Commoner will have full and accurate Information as to the issues discussed. I bespeak for the paper the cordial support which from the beginning has made my connection with It so pleasant. All profits from The Commoner, over and above actual expenses, from now until election day, will be turned over to the Democratic National Committee for the benefit of the campaign. W. J. BRYAN. HASKELIi TO BE TREASURER Oklahoma Governor Will Handle Democratic Campaign Funds. GUTHRIE, Okla., July 24. Governor C. N. Haskell has been tendered the treas ureshlp of the Democratic National Com mittee. Formal announcement, carrying his acceptance, it Is said, will be madfr when the committee meets for organiza tion in Chicago next Saturday. Before the National Convention the Bryan forces urged the Oklahoma exe cutive to take the active management of the campaign as the committee chair man. This selection, it is known, would have been highly satisfactory to Mr. Bryan, but, as the appointment would have necessitated Governor Haskell's al most continued absence from Oklahoma until the election, the place was de clined after the convention had completed Its work. As treasurer, it will not be necessary for him to leave the state for any length of time, which is a condition said to have been largely responsible for the Gov ernor's decision. It is not Governor Has kell's present intention to attend the Chicago meeting. DOUGLAS WILL. XOT ACCEPT Massachusetts Man Declines Chair manship Out of Politics. MONUMENT BEACH. Mass.. July 24. "I am out of politics forever," de clared ex-Governor William L. Douglas today, when, upon his return from a yachting trip of several days, he was questioned concerning the reports from Lincoln. Neb., that he might be named as chairman of the Democratic "Na tional Committee. " Mr. Douglas said he was not aware that his name was be ing considered for that position. "I have not been offered the chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee," he said, "and while I shall deeply ap preciate the compliment of It if tend ered to me, I shall not accept, as I am out of politics forever. This is final." EIGHT HflZERS SENT HOME CADETS FORCE PLEBES TO PUT AXTS IX THEIR HATS. Ingenious Form of Hazing at Ann apolis Discovered, Despite Ef forts at Secrecy. WEST POINT, N. T., July 24 Eight cadets In the United States Military Academy here were yesterday sent to their homes as a result of hazing mem bers of the fourth class. They were Wil liam T. Russel, appointed at large, and Harry G. Wever, of Illinois, members of the first class, and Byron Q. Jones, New York; George W. Chase. New York; William M. Prude, Alabama; Isaac Ppauldlng, Oklahoma; William Moltke, Virginia, and James A. Gillespie, of Pennsylvania, members of the third class. It has been learned that hazing at the academy has been going on during the past three months. Never, it can be said, was evidence of hazing so carefully and so skillfully concealed. Even the cadet officers were kept out of the secret, while as for the plebes, as the fourth classmen are called, all took the hazing uncomplainingly. The form which the hazing took con sisted of a requirement that the plebes "fall In" at the first tap of the warning drum instead of waiting the usual five minutes to the final call. The punish ment for failure to comply is said to have taken a unique form, embodied In an rder to the offender in substance as follows: "Go out Into G Company street and pl?k up 100 nice fat ants, put them in your cap and in half an hour come back, count them and if any are absent, re port accordingly. If all are present or accounted for, put them in your locker until further orders." The poor plebe thereupon repaired to the company street and for the next half hour or so was the busiest man in this section of the camp. When he had finally corralled the necessary number of ants, he went back and reported. Then the plebe counted them and, if all the ants were "present or accounted for," he was told to place them In his locker for safe keeping. On the other hand. If an ant was absent, he would probably be or dered out to capture another 60 aa an additional punishment. , APPRAISE LOSSES FROM BIG FIRE Insurance Companies Lose Heavily and Scores of Ten ants Without Quarters. FIND OFFICES IN RUINS Those Visiting Demolished Abington Block Find Xo Trace of Their Belongings Xarrow Escape of Captain XeiL Work of appraising the damage to the Abington building caused by Thurs day morning's fire was in progress yesterday, but no decision was reached as to whether the building must be en tirely reconstructed or whether it can be repaired. - The Abington building cost when new $225,000. Fifty tnousand dollars insurance was carried on the structure. List of Losses. Losses in the McKay building total 6000, fully covered; the Van Schuyver block damage is In the neighborhood of $15,000, insured. Damage to the Concordia block is about $2000, fully insured. Jacobs & Son, clothiers, sus tained a loss of about $15,000 on a $25,000 stock, insurance covering the loss. Arata & Co.'s fixtures and stock of liquors is damaged to the extent of from $10,000 to $14,000,. covered by in surance. The Hudson Arm Company's loss, from Are and water, will reach $15,000, with two-thirds insurance. Nicol the Tailor's loss Is $12,000, In surance $5000. W. J. Van Schuyver & Co.'e stock of liquors Is damaged $25,000. fully Insured. The Ames Mer cantile Company loses $20,000, which is the value placed on the complicated mercantile records and cards which were totally destroyed. The insurance Is $3000. Scores of tenants on the five floors lose fixtures and personal property having an aggregate value of perhaps $25,000, if not a 'little more. It will be several days before all these losses are settled and adjusted. McKay building damage was definitely fixed yesterday at $6000. fully covered by insurance in companies represented by Harvey O Bryan. The building is owned by the McKay heirs, of Champoeg, Or. The loss of Nicol the Tailor was also settled at $12,000, on which there is $5000 insurance. This stock is controlled by William Jerrems' Sons. The loss to the Abington and Van Schuyver blocks falls on the Amanda Reed estate. Find Offices in Ruins. The northern section of the Abington building was little more than a mass of charred ruins, back of the front wall. yesterday. Many tenants went to visit their offices only to find vacant places. Morgan & Boise, insurance brokers, at tempted to visit their office only to find a large hole. Four big safes went pounding through the floors and landed in the barroom of Arata's place during the fire. They were found yesterday. Two belong to the Ames Mercantiile Company. This company, by the way. is left in a serious plight by the destruction . of records, and it is said the cost of replacing these records will reach $20,000 or thereabouts. Thousands of cards were burned, the total number being close to 60.000. F. J. Catterlin and Co. were en gaged in moving and had all effects re moved to the Chamber of Commerce block excepting a desk, carpet and one chair, which were destroyed. Nicol the Tailor took out the $5000 insurance he carried less than 48 hours before the fire occurred. Xeil Has Xarrow Escape. Cause of the fire has not yet been placed, although it is generally believed defective wiring must have been respon sible. In both the Abington and McKay- blocks a great, deal of wiring had been done within the past few weeks. The Are Is believed to have had its origin on the fourth floor and near the north west corner of the building. Only the recently placed metal frames and wired glass protectors saved a spreading of the fire to the upper floor of the McKay block with disastrous results. It was learned yesterday that Hose Captain Neil escaped death by a narrow margin while directing his men from the top of the building at an early hour' of the morning. As he stepped from one position to another a heavily charged wire lost Its insulation and spluttered green flames directly between his feet. He jumped aside just In time to avoid contact, as the wire writhed and twisted until cut. Live wires gave a lurid dis play of spluttering green lights while the firemen were at work and it is regarded as more than fortunate no one was hurt. Following is a list of tenants of the Abington block, all of whom sustain more or less loss to fixtures and personal ef fects: Tenants of Burned Block. Second floor Almeda Mining Com pany. J. N.

North, went out to The Oakes with his parents Thursday after- noon, became separated from them and I lost In the crowd. The little chap wan- F dered about the grounds . until after S o'clock last night when he singled out a policeman and said: "My name is Jack Lollick. My dad drives the brewery wagon. I'm lost. I live at 42 Tenth street. North, and, please sir, I want to go home for its long past my bed time. Tou're a policeman and I've heard my dad say that policemen got paid for helping people In trouble." The boy spoke with a lisp and In one chubby little hand held a 5-cefit piece, which he offered to the blue-coated guar dian of the peace if the officer would guide him to his home. About them a little crowd gathered and they smiled at the precocious sally of the little one. Even the policeman couldn't suppress a smile. He gathered the little tot up In his arms and placed him in care of one of the streetcar employes, who In turn took his charge to the police station. Another officer took him and carried him home, where the little fellow's parents were waiting In uncertainty as to his fate. NEW PLAY BRINGS S5Q.0QQ EDMOXD ROSTAXD'S LATEST DRAMA GREAT IXXOVATIOX. Lines Are in Verse and All Charac ters Are Barnyard Fowls and Animals. PARIS. July' 00. The sensation of the coming theatrical season will be the production of a new play In verse by M. Edmond Rostand, with the title "Chan ticleer. Eight years have passed since Mme. Bernhardt produced with world - wide success his Napoleonic play "L'Alglon," and rumors of the new play Kave been whispered ever since. But poets are notoriously capricious, and M. Rostand, who has no Beverer critic than himself. was jealous of his reputation as the greatest dramatist of his generation. Now all difficulties have been over come and MM. Jean Coquelin and Hertz, the managers of the Porte St. Martin Theater, who are the proud possessors of the world's rights In the play, have received the completed manuscript. For this they have paid the unprecedented price of 10.000 on account of the au thor's royalties. It Is not only in the matter of its price, however, that this play is unique. Its title, "Chanticleer," gives an Index to Its character, but does not convey the fact that not a single human being figures In the cast! This is comprised entirely of birds and animals, thexordl nary denizens of a barnyard, in which the scene of the'play Is laid. The common farmyard cock is the hero of this poetic drama, and a fine hero, too, since M. Coquelinalne is to interpret him In Paris. The golden pheasant is the heroine, and when It Is added that Its gorgeous plumage will conceal the personality of Mme. SImone le Bargy; that M. Jean Coquelin Is to growl poetry as the old watch dog, and that many actors scarcely less re nowned on the boulevards are to as sume disguises no less fantastic, it Is apparent that all the Ingredients of a very pretty plot have been selected. Into the details of the story It would be unfair to enter at present, but It may at least be hinted that the plot hinges on the jealousies of this ani mal kingdom. In spite of the inclina tions with which he has here surround ed himself, M. Rostand has woven around his fantastic scheme a web of poetry, of drama and of philosophy which all who have been privileged to hear it unhesitatingly declare to be a unique piece of dramatic literature exquisitely written, and ordered with an amazing sense of dramatic effect. The mental hurdles which the dramatist has set up are easy work, however, compared with the physical Impediments that he has set In the path of the actors. Not merely have they to impersonate birds they must be as such. Only the actor's face and voice will be left to him, but in spite of apparent difficulties every one con cerned looks forward to a triumph at the Porte St. Martin In the Autumn. Arrangements are making by which there will be an almost simultaneous presentation of "Chanticleer" in Paris, New York and London. BRYAN COUNTS ON MINERS Sure Western Federation Will Give Him Colorado and Montana. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. July 22. Colorado and Montana have been set down in the sure column by friends of William? J. Bryan, and among the friends of the Nebraskan it Is not even admitted that there is any doubt about these two states. Bryan, it is said, is looking to the American Fed' eration of Miners' to carry Colorado and Montana, and for thiH reason there will be an "undesirable citizen" issue in these two states. Not that Taft Is held re sponsible for the actions of President Roosevelt, but that Taft, 'at the request of the President, went to Idaho two years ago and made a law and order speech which was not pleasing to the ears of Federation men. Ex-Senator Dubois, of Idaho, is said to be largely responsible for this appeal to the Federation, and he wants the same issue used in his own state, for Dubois has never forgiven Taft for his "law and order" speech in Boise. He In part aitnoutes nis own aeieat to l art s in terference and he Is anxious to square accounts. In Idaho, however, the Democrats are hopelessly spilt, and so evenly are they divided that the Bryan people have listed Idaho as a very doubtful state. Such an admission from them is equivalent to ac knowledging that Idaho will almost cer tainly go for Taft. Down In their hearts Bryan Democrats hold Dubois personally responsible for the split in the Idaho Democracy, for the split occurred over the Mormon issue, for which he alone was responsible. DIE IN . FLOODED TUNNEL Twenty-Five Workmen Perish in Boring Through Alps. BERNE, Switzerland. July 24. There was a frightful accident early this morn ing in the Loetchburg Tunnel in the Bernese Alps, which resulted in the death of 25 workmen. The men were drilling inside the tunnel. Without warn ing, their tools pierced the wall that separated them from a subterranean river or lake, the existence of which was not known. The wall gave way with a crash and a torrent of water and mud rushed into the tunnel and filled it All of the workmen were drowned. They were Italians. The disaster occurred 2400 yards from the northern entrance. It is believed the men tapped the Kandcr River, which flows through the mountains above the tunnel. Water now chokes the tunnel within 1000 yards of the entrance. . Tillamook Man Becomes Insane. TILLAMOOK, Or., July 24. (Special.) W. H.
