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. ,

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.

LITTLE TOT LOST IN CROWD
Jack Lollick Wanders About Several
Hours at Oaks.
Jack Lollick. S years of age, whose fath
er drives a brewery wagon and lives at
42 Tenth street. 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.
