Bryan ' Considers Whence
Money Is to Come for
Democracy.
MUST LOOK TO MASSES
Finance Committee to Consider Mo
mentous Question Chafln Visits
Lincoln Bryan Indorses In
ternational School Scheme.
FAIRVIEW. Lincoln. Neb., Aug. 7.
The -wherewithal with which to con
duct the Democratic campaign waa the
momentous question under discussion
at Falrvlew today. It has been fully
realized that a properly conducted
campaign requires adequate funds to
pay legitimate expenses. Dut me ques
tion of who Is to put up the money has
been the subject of more or ' less dis
cussion ever since the nominations at
Denver were made.
While It is admitted that from a
number of sources Individual contn
buttons of considerable sire will be
1 made, the decision has been reached
that the bulk of the fund will come
from the masses. A sum tf not less
than $500,000 Is regarded as necessary
to meet the expenses of the compaign,
Discuss Finances Monday.
The matter was talked over at great
length today by Mr. Bryan and ex
Senator Pettlgrew. of South Dakota,
member of the finance committee, and
tonight with Governor C. N. Haskell,
treasurer of the Democratic National
committee. The decision was reached
that the finance committee should
meet In Chicago next Monday and at
once enter the work of organization
and of perfecting plans for raising the
necessary funds.
Mr. Chafin reached Lincoln this
morning and tonight delivered a lec
ture at Epworth Park. I have started
mv campaign already, said Mr. Chann
"and my intention is to make at least
a hundred speeches before my official
notification takes place. Everything
looks bright and we will poll a big
vote."
Bishop W. F. Oldham, of the Metho
dist Episcopal Church. In charge of
the mission in the Philippines, also
was a caller. Bishop Oldham unfolded
to Mr. Bryan a plan for the building
of a college at Singapore, where it is
proposed to give religious Instruction
; to the youth of the world, regardless
of nationality. The Idea met with in
! stant favor and Mr. Bryan handed the
' bishop a letter recommending it.
Bishop Oldham was loud In his
praises of Mr. Bryan, because, as he
; said, "he has endeared himself to all
i missionaries by hl manifest Interest
In our work."
KERX AND MACK SEE VISIONS
Democratic Leaders Hopeful After
Exchange of Opinions.
CHICAGO, Aug. 7. Declaring that
i prospects for Democratic victory were
i never brighter in a Presidential cam
I palgn, John W. Kern, Democratic Vice
; Presidential candidate, was an unex
, pected visitor at the Democratic Na
tional Committee headquarters, which
were formally opened at the Audl
: torium Annex by National Chairman
j Norman E. Mack. After a two-hour
conference with Mr. Mack on the gen-
eral situation and the discussion of
tentative plans for the speaking cam-
palgn. Mr. Kern left tonight for Charles
' City. Iowa, where he will address a
i Chautauqua meeting tomorrow. Be
fore his departure Mr. Kern confided
that his speech of acceptance at his
notification In Indianapolis would as a
matter of precedent be much briefer
than Mr. Bryan's speech at Lincoln.
Coincident with the opening of the
headquarters. Congressman James
: Lloyd of Missouri, chairman of the
Democratic Congressional Committee,
selected headquarters for his commit
tee In the Auditorium Annex and stated
. that he Is prepared to continue actively
I the Congressional campaign which was
launched in Washington early In
1 March. Mr. Lloyd says that the out-
look Is bright for the election of Derao
" era tic Congressmen.
Mr. Mack had a busy time today con
: ferrin'g with National committeemen
I and others who stepped in at head
1 quarters. The heads of the various
subcommittees of the National Commit
tee will meet here next Monday. Mr.
' Mack Is hopeful that the Western Pas
! senger Association will reconsider its
action in declining to make a special
rate to the Bryan notification. A let
ter has been addressed by Mr. Mack to
the secretary of the association, asking
that. In view of the fact that a re
duced rate was made for the notifica
tion of Mr. Taft at Cincinnati, a simi
lar rate be made to Lincoln. Mr. Mack
announced tonight that John W. Tom
Jlnson. a member of the executive com.
mittee. had been appointed head of the
National bureau of Democratic clubs,
with headquarters in this city and as
slstants here and in the East.
Mr. Mack will leave Chicago next
I Tuesday to attend the Bryan notifica
tion at Lincoln. Mr. Mack said:
"While the campaign is young, it has
made a degree of progress that Is ex
tremely gratifying to the Democratic
management. States In all parts of the
country heretofore regarded as Repub
lican strongholds are now debatable
ground and will be swung into the
Democratic column. I found conditions
In the East that presage Democratic
victory."
j TELLS TROUBLES TO BRYAN
Oregon Delegate to Hearst Conven

FAIRVIEW, Lincoln. Neb., Aug. 7.
Tha story of how certain delegate to
the Independence League convention.
recently held in Chicago. including
r himself, were thrown out of the cham
1 ber for openly supporting Bryan, was
told to the Democratic candidate today
I by Mr. Gibson, who was a delegate
.1 from Portland. Or. Mr. Gibson declared
i that his friendship for Mr. Bryan was
; known at the timehe was named for
i a seat In the convention. Fifteen years
' ago he represented the Eighteenth
Ohio district In Congreas as a Repub
lican, but in 1896 he allied himself with
the Democrats and has remained with
his party ever since.
Mr. Gibson brought with him a letter
from Cyrus W. Davis, of Waterville,
Me who two years ago waa the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of that
state. In which it was stated Maine

Joseph, Mo., appeared at the Bryan
home and serenaded the Democratic
nominee. Mr. Bryan at che time was
In conference with ex-Senator R. F.
Pettlgrew, of South Dakota. Both men
came out on the front steps bareheaded
and liberally applauded each selection.
By way of appreciation of their visit
Mr. Bryan presented the members of
the band with a box of cigars.
Mr. Bryan Is availing himself of the
cool weather by utilizing every spare
moment In preparing the several set
speeches which he will make this
month. The one on the tariff at Des
Moines Is expected to be an exhaustive
treatment of the subject, and will be
one of the most Important of bis utter
ances during the campaign.
SAYS RAILROADS DISCRIMINATE
Mack Is Refused Excursion Rate for
Bryan's Notification.
CHICAGO, Aug. 7. Norman E. Mack,
chairman of the National Democratic
committee, was notified tonight that no
reduced railroad rates will be put into
effect for the Bryan notification meeting
at Lincoln, Neb., on August 12. The
communication was from i-Den MCL,eon,
chairman of the Western Passenger As
sociation, and was In reply to a letter
sent to tiiat official by Mr. Mack earlier
in the day. calling attention to the fact
that reduced fares had been granted on
the occasion of the Taft notification In
Cincinnati, whereas no concessions had
been made for the Democratic gathering.
The correspondence was Interspersed by
several telephonic conversations between
Messrs. Mack and McLeon, the latter
explaining the action of the railroads by
referring to the fact that no reduced
rates had been put into effect for any
events In Nebraska since the passage or
the 2-cent fa-e law In that state. He
also emphasized the fact that the reduced
rates to Cincinnati were offered by the
Central Passenger Association.
"The action of the railroads Is simply
a discrimination against the party." said
Mr. Mack. "They state that there is
a 2-cent rate law In Nebraska, which
will not permit them to give a reduced
rate to Lincoln. But I desire to call
their attention to the fact that there is
also a 2-cent fare law In Ohio, which did
not prevent the granting of a reduced
rate to the Taft notification. Besides, as
I understand It. many of the railroads
which oompose the Central Passenger
Association are members of the Western
Passenger Association.

Broker Charges Accuser With Try

Other Creditors and Denies
Embezzlement of Stock.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 7. Frederick
Dorr, the stockbroker with offices in
San Francisco, Los Angeles, Salt Lake
City, Denver and other cities, who was
arrested at Los Angeles yesterday upon
a charge of embezzlement preferred by
Captain H. H. Norwood, a client In this
city, arrived here early this morning in
custody of Detective Grant Roberds, of
the Los Angeles Police Department. Dorr
persuaded the ofneer to permit nim 10
Ieve the train at San Jose and the two
came to San Francisco from there In an
automobile, which enabled the stockbroker
to arrange for ball before he came to
police headquarters and was booked at
the citv prison.
He was released upon l".oro tond given
bv Harry N. Gray and W. F. Porter.
The latter did not arrive at ponce neaa-
quarters for some time, which forced
Dorr to spend an hour oenind tne oars
In the city prison. When Mr. Porter
who is connected with the Associated Oil
Company, finally made his appearance
and signed the bond, djorr s attorneys
and local manager hurried to the Hotel
Imperial, where Police Judge Cabiness
ordered the stockbroker's release.
Dorr Explains Charge.
In an Interview in the city prison with
a representative of the Associated Press
Dorr declared that the case was properly
a civil and not a criminal matter. He
said:
It is a vicious attack by a man who
wishes preference over all other creditors,
My liabilities are perhaps betwen $100,000
and $125,000. I have not yet had an op
portunity to go over the. books. My seats
upon the exchanges In Jew torK ana
Chicago are. alone worth $90,000.
promised to settle with my creditors upon
an eo.ua! basis for all and favor none.
This man Norwood wants his money re
gardless of what the others get.
There has been no embezzlement or
hypothecation of stock. His stock was
sold for his credit and transferred in the
customary nranner. I am satisfied that,
when I get an opportunity to go over
the books and find just how matters are,
everything will be straightened out.
Quarrel Between Detectives.
When Dorr failed to arrive on the Los
Angeles train at 11:45 o'clock and It was
rumored that he got oft at 9an Jose
and was coming the rest of the way in
an automobile. Captain of Detectives
Kelly sharply criticised the Dos Angeles
jiolice for not holding Dorr there until
the arrival of an ofticer from this city.
characterizing the action of the Southern
police as "decidedly irregular." Mr.
Kellv sent men to the county line with
instructions to arrest Dorr Immediately,
If he appeared, regardless of the Los
Angeles officer.

PRICE OF LOGS TO MANGE
OUTPUT ON GRAYS HARBOR IS
GREATLY REDUCED.
Millmcn Predict Activity in Lumber
Trade and Early Advance
in Prices.
ABERDEEN. Wash., Aug. 7. (Spe
cial.) A. L. Davenport, who Is Inter
ested In the Paine-Davenport Logging
Company, operating in the Humptulips
country, predicts an advance In the
price of logs.
"Logs are scarce," he said this morn
ing. "A good many of the camps have
closed, others are running on short
hours and with smaller crews; so the
output has been reduced and there is
already a scarcity. This will naturally
Increase the price and the increase will
start up camps and make business
better."
The price of logs is niw 8 and $9
and lumber ls.belnb sold at a rather
low rate. Mr. Davenport admits that
if there are plenty of logs on Puget
Sound the price of lumber cannot very
well be advanced here, but he thinks
that lumber tocks have been greatly
depleted and that logs on Puget Sound
are no more plentiful than on Grays
Harbor.
Even with an advance In the price
of logs, Mr. Davenport believes that
there will be a large demand for lum
ber this Fall, and with stocks short,
the price mus tof necessity advance, so
that altogether he figures that condi
tions are going to be brighter within
the next 60 days.

"No, indeed. I have large bags made

It was when the 'dictionary-maker
penned the last-mentlonad definition
that he apparently had Hitchcock in
mind. He may bo all the other things
enumerated above that is. his silence
may but the one word "oblivion" Is
comprehensively accurate In his case,
e
You ask a question. It may be about
the weather "Do you think we'll have
a shower this evening?" Hitchcock
thinks deeply before he permits even
hiB facial expression to Indicate what
may be his opinion on that particular
subiect. Is there a hidden meaning In
the query, a trap? Having convinced
himself that there Is not, ne is ready
to give you his answer not an answer,
but his answer. A smile, or rather the
shadow of a smile, becomes dimly per
ceptible at the corners of his mouth,
and spreads haltingly like a vessel
dragging its anchor, half-way to his
ears. There It stops. It goes no far
ther, nor does it die out or melt away,
hut "iiiva nut" in all of its tantalizing
persistency until the questioner, baffled
and embarrassed, slinks out of the of
fice through the nearest avenue oi
escape. If anyone ever won a more di
rect or satisfactory response to an ap
peal for Information or an opinion he
should count himself favored of the
gods. r
.
No one takes offense at Hitchcock
that is. no one of the persons whose
daily duty It is to "go up against" him.
They recognize his right, or any man's
right., to answer questions In his own
way. In addition, Hitchcock Is always
polite. If coldly so. What they are
wondering, though. Is whether a Na
tional chairman can go through a cam
paign the tower of silence he is and
keep everybody, in good numor. Mak
ing everybody feel well-disposed to
ward each other Is really a very Impor
tant part of the chairman's work, and
Hanna, Quay and Gorman, uncommuni
cative as they generally were, had the
knack of doing this. Perhaps Hitchcock
has. too, but the question mark will
not be taken down until he has gone
through the mill at the New York
headquarters.

ject Court Protects Wit
ness When He Objects.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 7. Assistant

today placed on the witness stand In the
preliminary examination of Abraham
Ruef in the police court as an expert on
attorneys fees and Interrogated by Ruef's
counsel regarding the alleged receipt by
Heney of a fee of $.10,000 from the Con
tra Costa Water Company. This was

the Parkslde trolley franchise matter was
too large a fee for lrgal services.

ney a copy of the receipt alleged to have
been given by him for the $30,000. Attor
ney Newburg, counsel for Ruef asked:
"Is this receipt published in a paper a
facsimile of the receipt given by you to
the Contra Costa Water Company?"
Heney declined to answer the question
and declared that the entire purpose of
Ruef in putting him on the stand and in
terrogating him on the matter was to af
fect the coming primary election. Judge
Cabanies sustained the objection and
Heney was excused until next Wednes
day, the day following the primary elec
tion, when he will again be questioned as
an expert upon fees.
