HEARSTPLATFORM
WILL BE RADICAL
injunction Plank to Outdo in
Severity Those of Both
' Old Parties.
RAILROAD PLANK STRONG

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

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.

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."

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 has never
expressed any regret for his act and
believes he has done his country a gxeat
service.
Stevens Was Close to Emperor.
Durham White Stevens had long been
prominent in Oriental public life. He
was secretary of the United States Lega
tion at Tokio In 1873, subsequently be
coming counsellor to the Japanese Le
gation at Washington. Thence he went
to Tokio, where, after service in the
Foreign Office, he became a member of
the commission sent by Japan to Corea,
to adjust difficulties which threatened
to involve Japan and China, In IS
Afterwards he held various posts under
the Japanese government and enjoyed
the confidence of the Emperor and the
highest government officials.
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.
