THE MORNING OEEGOIAX. MONDAY, JULY 27, 1908. HEARSTPLATFORM WILL BE RADICAL injunction Plank to Outdo in Severity Those of Both ' Old Parties. RAILROAD PLANK STRONG vvill Provide for Fixing of Rates Di rectly by Commission Hisgen Boomed for Presidential Nomination. CHICAGO, July 26. The platform of tbe Independence party, which Is to meet In National convention tomorrow will. If present plans are carried out, contain a muoh more radical declaration on the question of intunctldns' than is embodied jn the platforms of either the Democratic or Republican party. From present indi cations the temper of the convention will -be in favor1 of a declaration doing away entirely with preliminary injunctions in cases of labor disputes. The majority of the delegates who have arrived alsobe "lleve that there should be no punishment "for contempt Qf court until after a. trial , h- Jury. The sentiment of the convention so far as it can be forecasted is somewhat divided concerning the financial plank of the platform. The majority seems to favor a declaration that all money Bhould b issued directly by the Government without an intermediary. Others incline "tij the view that money should be Issued i.thrniie-h National banks. '.' Another declaration which will likely be In the platform is that giving the Inter state Commerce Commission power to Initiate changes In railroad tariffs and ?lhat no rates shall be Increased without the permission of the Commission. An amendment to the Sherman act will be favored, adjusting that statute in such a manner that it can be made ,io annlv onlv to such combinations as are really acting in restraint of trade, or tending towards monopoly. Over-capitalization of corporations will be condemned. A strong and spe cific declaration will also be made in favor of restriction of Asiatic immi gration. v The delegates to the convention con - tlnued to arrive in considerable num bers throughout the day and the rep resentation from the Kastern states 'was proportionately stronger than : from other sections of the country. It .was confidently assorted that when ' Mr. Hearst, as temporary chairman, begins his address tomorrow night -fully 200 delegates will be In the hall. Much le6s than that number, however, .'have arrived today. It is asserted on all sides that the 'contest for the nominations will be free and open. Of the candidates now 'In the field. Thomas L. Hisgen. of -Massachusetts, has a strong following. and Is apparently in the lead. w. M. Howard, of Alabama, will make a 'strong fight. The Indiana delegation "is pushing Charles F. S. Neal, of that state, although Mr. Neal says himself that he hardly expects his name to go before the convention. " Other candidates are John Temple . Graves, of Georgia, and Howard S Taylor, of Chicago. The name of ; "hares A. Walsh, of Iowa, secretary of 'the National committee, who for many f years acted in a similar capacity for the jemocratic parly, is also men tioned. After a conference held early in the evening it was decided that Charles A. Walsh should be the permanent chair man of the convention. DEMOCRATS HARD AT WORK Sweok Nunies Kxeeutive Committee for Bryan Campaign. Undismayed by previous defeats, the Democrats of Oregon are again lining lip their forces for their every-four-vears' attempt to "carry Oregon" for Bryan. Alex Sweek, rhatrman of the Democratic State Central Committee. lias appointed an executive committee of five members that will be expected, -with his assistance, to add Oregon to the Democratic column. The members of this committee are: John Montag, of Portland; W. H. Wehrung. of Hills- boro; Will M. Peterson, of Pendleton; Lurk Bilyeu. of Eugene, and S. M. Gar- (vunil, of Lebanon. Chairman Sweek yesterday mailed notices to the members of the commit tee requesting them to attend a meet ing at his office In the Chamber of 'Commerce building. At that time, sug gests Chairman Sweek in his notitica lion, some plan must be devised by which the "40,000 Roosevelt majority" Jiiny be overcome and Oregon's four electoral votes captured for the peren nial candidate. ASPIRANTS ARE NUMEROUS (Continued from First Page.) printed, it is Impossible to tell whether he saw the proof before publication or whether it just slipped into the forms when thev were unguarded. Graves is now a full-fledged candidate for the honor and glory of being the Varty of Fremont. He believes he has the advantage of his opponents, because he is the only one who has a campaign yell. It was written for him one after noon by an office poet, and goes as fol lo ws ; llrmve. Gravp. Graves. Oip 'em for Taf t die 'om for Bryan. Slaves. Slaves, Slaves, Vote for us; we'll go In flyin'. Charles F. S. Neal, of Indiana, has his solid delegation behind him. He is willing to accept Graves for second place, but many of his followers object. They declared that Neal and Graves sounds too much like Kneel at Graves, and has a tomblike sound that they deeply dis approve of. Charles A. Walsh, formerly Democrat! National Committeeman from Iowa, be lieve he has as much right to run for President as anybody else. Walsh Is National Secretary. Mr. Walsh is secretary of the Indepen dence Lesigue National Committee, and has been running the western end of the campaign in Chicago, assisted by the entire strength of the Examiner and the Chicago Evening American. The latest reports were that Mr. Walsh would be out of the National race before long and be awarded, as a consolation prise, the nomination for Governor of Iowa or Con gressman or Assemblyman from Prairie du Chlen, with the understanding that the Iowa Legislature shall elect him United States Senator to succeed William B. Allison. This last contingency, of course, is based upon the complexion of the Iowa Legislature. It the Leaguers carry it. "Walsh will have a. pleasant and influential position at Washington. Dr. Howard S. Taylor, of Chicago, has Presidential bee In his bonnet. Dr. Taylor's friends say he would be an ex ceptionally strong candidate, as h would raw from every oarty. Their reason for this confidence Is that Dr. Taylor has be- Jonged to practically every political fac tion, having been, at different periods. a Prohibitionist, a Socialist, a Kepuoncan. a Silver Republican, a Democrat and a Populist. Now he is one of the most en thusiastic Independence Leaguers in the United States. Lords It Over Others. The sixth candidate is ex-Congressman M. W. Howard, of Alabama. As the only one of the lot who ever held an elective or appointive office, Mr. Howard is rather Inclined to lord it over the others, of the Heffernan men yelled aye on any question it was promptly declared car ried, without wanting for any more vot ing. Mr. Mptt made this statement after adjournment: Of all the political outrages that have ever been perpetrated In this state, this last manifestation of Connerslsm is ths worst and most brutal of all." This certainly is going some, but it hardly means votes for Bryan. Tammany After McCarren. Tammany men say they will beat Mc Carren at the primaries this Fall. They add that they do not mean to over-exert themselves, as even if McCarren wins he will be kicked out of the convention with out ceremony. . The first move in the battle to de throne McCarren and make the Kings County Democracy a tail to the tiger's kite' was taken at the April state con vention, when the Brooklyn delegates were thrown out; the second was made at Denver, when M'cCarren's delegates to the National Convention were ejected. The third will be made when the Murphy followers "elect" a full set of delegates to the state convention for every Assem bly district in Brooklyn. The fourth will be when the state convention throws out the McCarren delegates. This will be done regardless of the number of votes cast for them at the primaries. It is the Murphy plan to use boiler-shop methods as long as he controls the organization. Senator McCarren knows what is laid out for him. He says ha does not expect fair play, but he adds that he Is not wor rying, and his manner indicates that he isn't. I expect to make a clean sweep at the coming primaries," he said today, "and I hope our delegates will receive their rights. Personally I do not think the Democrats will stand for many such deals as the Brooklyn delegates got at Carne gle Hall and at Denver." Contents of McCarren's Sleeve. There are reports that McCarren has something up his sleeve, which may up set the plans of Murphy- to invade Brook lyn. It is hinted in some quarters that the Brooklyn Senator will ally himself with anti-Murphy men In Queens. Rich mond, Manhattan and the Bronx, and will fight the Tammany leader In his own ter ritory. 'What's the use?" said one Tammanv cnieftam. "We hold the state commit tee. If McCarren doesn't earry any dis tricts, he loses. If he carries some or all. we will throw him out. He might just as wen save time and money." ihe home rule Democracy." composed of men who were kicked out of the April state convention, la hard at work trying to capture the organization. Deputy At torney-General Mott is a valued member of the order, and he got his in Chautau qua Counts, as Is narrated above. His experience gives the others a good line on what they may expect when the prop er, time comes around. Naturally, this boiler-house performance will not add materially to the vote for Bryan. "Packy" McCabe Doomed. 'Packy" McCabe, the Albany County- leader, is doomed to political execution this Fall, because he has openly sneered at jviurpny. In the sacred tribunals of Tammanv Hall, McCabe has been formally tried and convicted of lese majeste. although it is a nundred-to-one shot that Murphy can not pronounce it. The only reason McCabe has held on so long is that it has been found Impos- smie to aiscover a man to take his place. McCabe ousted the old Hill faction in Albany, but his foes have no use for Tammany, and refuse to enter into deal ings with Murphy. But when the right leader Is found. Mc Cabe will be thrown out, to Join all the other Democrats who have aroused tho Ire of the boss of the wigwam. . Wherein "Fingy" Errs. 'We haven't entirely decided about Conners yet." said a prominent Murphy lie. connaentiany, today. "He is a use ful man, because he does anything he Is toia to ao. ine great trouble is that he believes he amounts to something. -remaps ne will be allowed to hani on for a while yet. but we will make him understand that if he talks without per mission he must quit politics. "Every time we get in bad Conners la to blame. Some day Murphy will resllv lose his temper, and then we will have a new state chairman. All of which explains why Bryan. In his heart of hearts, does not expect to make an astonishing success In the ram palgn In New York State. It isn t so much a case of "too much Bryan" as it is a case of "too much Murphy. WANT TUFT BANNER DOWN DEMOCRATS ASK ITS REMOVAL OX NOTIFICATIOX DAT. Lincoln Preparing for Large Crow on August 1 2 Bryan to Speak on Capitol Grounds. ' LINCOLN. Neb.. July 26. Lincoln Dem ocrats will make an effort to have the Taft banner, which is hung over the main street, taken down on -the day isryan is formally notified of his nomt nation. The banner, which proclaims that i art win carry Nebraska, has been an eye-sore to local Democrats since It was hung. A week after it was placed, when it was- the subject of much discussion, the banner was burned and partially de stroyed. It has since been rehung, with out, however, any unfavorable comment on the part of the Bryan men. Today It was determined that an effort would be made to have the emblem re moved on the date of Mr. Bryan's noti fication, as many Democrats will be in the city and municipal tact, the Demo crats say. requires that visitors be not required to look at the banner. Chairman Hayward. of the Republican state committee. Is now in Ohio, and has not been asked if he will take down the banner. He said before the destruc tion of the sign that he would consent to the removal on notification day, hut since the day It was taken down he has not said he would adhere to this prom ise. Extra preparation are being made in uncoin ror Bryan s notification. on August II. The notification speeches are to be made from a platform on the state capitol grounds, and will start at o'clock. After the notification is- completed marching clubs from towns in the state will form a monster parade through the business part of the city. The parade and spectators will then take cars to Fain-lew, where a reception will be held on the Bryan lawn. BIDES TD CHURCH E Roosevelt Gives Evidence of Growing Preference for Gasoline Cars. INE HORSES NEGLECTED President Once Quoted as Saying That He Did Xot Care for Motors Loeb Going on His Vacation. OYSTER BAT. July 26. Again this morning President Roosevelt made use of an automobile In preference to a team of his fine horses in going from Sagamore Hill to the Christ Episcopal Church in the village. It is reported that the President has said that he did not care to use an automobile so long as there were good horses to be had. But it would seem that he is beginning o fancy riding in one or the other of the two big touring cars stationed here for the use of the Secret Service men, for, on a number of occasions recently, he has made use of them. Today was the second Sunday he has come to church in one of the big cars. Guests Attend Services. Mrs. Roosevelt accompanied the President as usual this morning, and with them came Mrs. Beekman Win- throp, wife of the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, who te a guest at Sag amore Hill; Captain Edmund T. Butts, Third Infantry, U. S. A., and one of the President's military aides, also a guest over Sunday, and Archibald and Quen- tin, the President's younger sons. Miss Ethel Roosevelt and Kermit Roosevelt and a party of their young friends were guests at a dinner party this evening on board the President's yacht, the Mayflower. President Roosevelt s secretary, Wil liam Loeb, Jr., will leave next Friday for a vacation of a month in the woods. He. will do some shooting for big game in the West, and will try his luck as a trout fisherman. The President's interest in the vic tories of the American athletes at Lon don in the Olympic games, of the American committee of which he was the honorary president, is great, and it is not improbable that he will take some part in the proposed reception to the athletes on their return from Eng land. It was said today that it Is not un likely that should Mr. Roosevelt be unable to go to New York for the re ception, he will invite the victors in a body to Sagamore Hill, to tell them how greatly pleased he is over their great showing. TO LESSEN MINE DEATHS! EUROPEAN EXPERTS WILL VISIT UNITED STATES. Experiments to Be Conducted by Government With Hope of De creasing Number of Disasters. WASHINGTON, July 26. In response to an invitation extended by the United States Government in behalf of the Geological Survey, Great Britain, Ger many and Belgium will send to this country next month their leading ex perts in tne prevention of mine disas ters, to aid in the inauguration of the work here. The negotiations were con ducted through the State Department. The three experts are Captain Des- borough, inspector of explosives under the Home Office, Great Britain; Herr Meisner, head of the German mine service, and Victor Watteyne, engineer-in-chief of the administration of mines, Belgium. It is expected that the ex perts will reach New York about the end of August, and proceed to Pitts burg, where 'the United States Geologi cal Survey le engaged In erecting a plant for the purpose of conducting In vestigations into the cause of mine ex plosions. ' ' In company with the expert in charge of the technologic branch of the Sur vey, they will visit the fields of Penn sylvania, the coal fields of Illinois, Wyoming, Colorado, Alabama, West Virginia and Ohio, in order that they may learn the conditions under which coal Is mined in this country. Experiment stations for the preven tion of disasters have been in opera tion for a number of years in eaefli country represented by the experts. and there the death rate In the mines has been reduced to a minimum. With the knowledge) that mine acci dents have been increasing and the death rate constantly becoming larger the United States Government authori ties are hastening to begin the investi gations which it is believed will great ly reduce the loss of life. It Is expect ed that the advice of the foreign ex perts will be Invaluable. GOOD YEAR AT FAIRBANKS Rain Increased Output of Mines, Says August Tocllner. August Toellner. of Fairbanks, Alaska, of the Fairbanks Daily Times and the Fairbanks Dally News, arrived In Port land yesterday. Mr. Toellner la a -wen- known newspaper man. Prior to groins to Fairbanks, two years ago. he was with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "The season In the Fairbanks district has been a very favorable one this year," said Mr. Toellner, yesterday, "owing to the unusually heavy rains, which have provided all the water necessary for sluicing. The question of water is one of the most serious with which the miners of Alaska have to deal. If water is plen tiful the drifts can be easily bandied and the sluices can be effectively oper ated. The output this year in the Tanana River district, which comprises the coun try around Fairbanks within a radius of 60 miles, is estimated at (15.000,000. The labor difficulties have, to some extent. Interfered with the operation of the dig gings, but at the present time practically all of them are In operation. "Fairbanks is a thoroughly cosmopoli tan town. Its population is 10,000 and the district tributary to it has a population of 18.000. It is considered the most health ful city in Alaska, the death rate being the lowest in the territory."

Mr. Stevens started in pursuit of his assailant when Chang, who held a revolver in his hand, covered by a handkerchief, began tiring. His first shot struck Chung, his associate, and seriously wounded him. Shot From Behind. Two other shots were fired, both strik ing Mr. Stevens, one In the back near the right shoulder, and the other several Inches lower, the bullet deflecting and passing through the abdomen. Japanese Consul-General Koike came to the rescue of Mr. Stevens, placed him in an automobile and rushed him to the harbor emergency hospital. Subsequently he was taken to the St. Francis Hospital, where he died three days later. - Chang, who is a diminutive Corean, 30 years old, and who looks like a boy of 15, declared he acted from patriotic mo tives, believing with a certain number of his countrymen in this city that Mr. Stevens had been instrumental in giv ing Japan control in Corea.

He was sent to Corea by tho Emperor of Japan after the Russo-Japanese war, and became the confidential advisor of the Corean Emperor, a post which he filled to the highest satisfaction of both the - Corean Emperor and the Japanese government. He was several times dec orated by the Emperor of Japan. Narcotics in Use In 1460. London Star. Lecturing before the Association of Cleanup ALPACA WALKING SKIRTS.
