THE MORNING OREGON! AN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1903. MANY ARE EAGER F OR BRYAN SWORDS Invitations to San Francisco and Montgomery Are Pressed Upon Him. ALSO TO BETLESS RACES Keadvllle to Have Trotting Derby Without Gambling Bryan Given Big Gourd and Contrasts It - With Big Stick. FAIRVIEV. Lincoln. AuS. 13. Imi tations to deliver speeches came thicK ,nd fast today upon W. J. B ryan. Call forrlas request for a visit again was pressed upon htm by Charles E. Delrnas of San Francisco, with the result that the Democratic candidate is giving the matter serious consideration. Reaa ville. Mass.. wants him there August .5 to witness the trotting Derby, the first event of the kind ever to occur in the Inlted States. Assurances were given that th.re would be no gambling or pODlselling. but as Mr. Bryan on that day will be in Indianapolis, a fact which ' C. Drinkwater. a member or the notification committee, overlooked when extending the invitation, he.- of course, was compelled to decline. Through Henry D. Clayton and R. H. Walker. Montgomery. Ala., expressed its desire for his presence August 19. Mr Brvan said he hoped that after a conference with the National commit tee he misht be able to go to Mont gomery and possibly some other points In the Southern States In response to numerous invitations. , . . Presented With Big Gourd. A notable incident of the day was the presentation to Mr. Bryan by sev eral hundred farmers from Otoe County, Nebraska, of a -big stick" gourd. rown in that state. It is about five feet . In length and easily might be taken for the original, if there ever was one. which has been so extensively caricatured. It bore the Inscription. BillVs Big Stick." painted in large black letter?. Mr. Bryan, in accepting the gift, said: The ourd which j-ou present certainly looks very much lik tl bin stick" M we have seen It caricatured, and I think that the erourd Is flufnr emblem to represent Repub lican politic for the bin stick, which has been so loudly heralded, has not accomplished e greet deel In the way of actual legislation. Republican leaders have so eteadfaatly op posed reform that the blit stick has been quite empty empty as this gourd. In actual results. Then. too. the gourd may fitly symbolize the hollowneje of Republican promisee and the fact that the Republican policies have nothing In them of good to the farmer. I shall be glad to accept this "big stick" gourd, al though If the Democratic party wins the big stick" will not be In evidence. The Democratic idea la not coercion by force, but a justice that will appeal to the heart of man. for It is easier to lead people through their love than to control them through their fears. Mr. Eryan referred to the fact that 50 farmers on their way to Lincoln subscribed $1 each to the -campaign fund, and repeated the charge that the Republican campaign fund comes from the big-corporations. : Clayton Compliments Lincoln. Mr. Clayton, upon leaving the Bryan home, expressed himself. In a state ment given out for publication, as hav ing been delighted with the large and enthusiastic uttendance of the people. -I have attended six notifications." lie said, "and the ceremonies of yes terday were the moat orderly and en thusiastic I ever have witnessed. The people of Lincoln, irrespective of party, did everything possible to contribute to the attendance, the orderly procedure and the enthusiasm of the occasion." The statement referred to the sim plicity of the home life of Mr. Bryan and. speaking of the dinner to the aotifiration committee, Mr. Clayton said: "We had a real. good. American home-cooked dinner. There was no pretense of a menu, but I am glad to say we had a plenty of good, home victuals and mighty good water." Committeeman Victor Rosewater. of the Republican party, was again defeated In his struggle to destroy fusion In Nebraska, Secretary of State G. K. Junkin today rul ing that Sophus Noble, of the Second Con gressional district, may be entered on the Populist as well as the Democratic ticket.

The church land question in Porto Rico involved the right of the Roman Catholic Church to control various property valued at about ll.000.00n formerly owned by the Dominican and Franciscan orders. The estates were alienated by the action of the Spanish government in 1S38. but the Catholic Church alleged that the act was not properly carried into effect and sought to have them restored, alleging that the church was especially dependent since the United States came into authority In the Island and separated church and state. IS PROOF OF FRIENDSHIP Japan Kejoices Over Trademark Treaty With America. TOKIO. Aug. 13. The text of the trade mark and copyright treaty recently con cluded between the United States and Japan, together with explanation and methods of enforcement. Is universally published this morning in both the Japa nese and foreign newspapers. The Japa nese press comments editorially on the treaty in the most favorable terms. For instance, the Nichi Nichl (independ ent) welcomes the conclusion of the treaty, especially at this time, when it gives evidence to the world of the abso lute untruth of the statement that the relations between Japan and the United States are strained. "The conclusion of an important treaty," says the Nichl Nichl, "wherein America concedes consular Jurisdiction in Corea draws closer the bonds of friend ship, which in reality have always been close between the two countries. The en tire people of Japan rejoice over this proof of mutual friendship." TAFT MAKES NO COMMENT f Continued From First Page.) INCITE RIVALRY OF STATES Democratic Plan to Raise Campaign Fund by Subscription. CHICAGO. Aug. IS. The Democratic National campaign funds of 1908 will be raised through appeals made to in dividuals for contributions. Each state, under the direction of its National com mitteeman or a financial representative designated for the purpose, will deter mine its own method of raising money. The general plan became known here today on the arrival of Chairman Mack " from Lincoln, Neb., and it is understood to have met the entire approval of Will iam J. Bryan. John W. Kern, vice presidential candidate, and members of the campaign textbook committee, ac companied Mr. Mack to this city. Mr. Kern left later In the day for his home in Indianapolis. The members of the financial commit tee, of which Colonel Moses C. Wetmore. of St. Louis, is chairman, generally agree that between 1500.000 and 11,000,000 will be required to finance the legitimate expenditures of the coming Presidential struggle. The devising or adequate mein ods to provide thf-se means has occa sioned Governor Haskell, of Oklahoma, treasurer of the National committee, and Colonel Wetmore no little concern. The adoption of the plan announced to raise money by states is believed to be a solu tion of the problem. State pride, the financial committee feels, will be devel oped, and as a result efforts will be made to make contributions as large as possible. The financial committee, how ever, will arrange to enlist money aid from all who have indicated that they are ready to contribute in a substantial degree. The contributions to the various finan cial representatives in the states will be made up of small donations. The Na tional committee has communicated with the National committeemen In the several states and instructed them to proceed Immediately with the collection of funds, and to this end have suggested that a financial representative be appointed in each state, with assistants in the coun ties, who will devise such ways and means as 'may be deemed best to obtain funds in their own particular states. While no public solicitations have as yet been made by the National commit tee, contributions from various sources in no small amounts are being received daily at the Chicago headquarters. DECIDES FOR. FUSION" AGAIN Nebraska Secretary of State Turns Down Rosewater Appeal. LINCOLN. Neb.. A.U. IX National the National chairman since the organlxa tion for the campaign began," said Mr. Taft at breakfast. "The amount of work that has been done is surprising, but de cidedly satisfactory. We took up one thing after another at one sitting of more than three hours. Throughout there was nothing but the most harmonious and unanimous conclusions reached. Particu larly was this the case In handling the Ohio situation. There has been no oppor tunity for an adjustment of the campaign details between Mr. Vorys and Mr. Hitch cock. Mr. Vorys was desirous of putting the National chairman In possession of many threads of the state campaign which also were National In their char acter. At the same time It was desirable that arrangements should be mads for carrying on thu routine features of the work directly between the National and state committees, and all this was ad Justed. With Mr. Hitchcock's methods I am more than satisfied. He has a. won derful grasp on the work he is doing and plans a long way ahead." Secretary Wright Coming. Secretary of War Wright has an en casement to spend Saturday ana bunaay as a guest of Mr. Taft, a conference made necessary for tne proper disposal oi nu tnerous War Department matters. Frank Piatt, son of Senator Piatt, of New York, a class-mate of Mr. Taft. ar rived here today. He said he was here to consult Mr. Taft regarding a legal action in whlcl he has been retained. Represen tative Bartholdt, of Missouri, also was an arrival. Hitchcock Off to Chicago. WASHINGTON. Aug. 13. Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock, of the Republican National Committee, accompanied by his secretary, James T. Williams, Jr.. ar rived in Washington this morning from Hot Springs. Va.. where he conferred with Mr. Taft yesterday. Mr. Hitch cock started for Chicago this afternoon to meet Eastern and Western officials of the National committee, who are to meet there Saturday and open the Western headquarters. Mr. Hitchcock had no political engagements here, but closed and surrendered the last of the rooms used as Mr. Taft's preeonventton head quarters. ASSERTS RIGHT TO REBATE (Continued From First Page.)

He also argued that the railroad had a right to consider whether It had a chance to carry the same mater ial again in the form of a more fin ished product and. when there was such a chance, to make a lower rate on the raw material. If any or all of the circumstances considered made it good policy to carry- freight for noth ing, he could see no provision in the law to forbid it. if the railroad was governed by business and not by per sonal considerations. Wilbur Wright Tries Experi ment In Descending and Breaks Machine. DAMAGE IS NOT SERIOUS CHINA AND JAPAN CLASH (Continued From First Page.) his consequent shooting could not be avoided. The Chinese government is not aat lsfied with this explanation, and thinks Its authority has been Ignored. The incident has created a good deal of feeling on both sides. Aviator Attempts to Make Landing by Stopping Motor and Gilding to Earth Tests Will Be Somewhat Delayed. LBMANS, France, Aug. 13. The Wright aeroplane suffered an accident this morn ing which will require several days and iwi... - .AoU renatr . After tWO poseiuij a. ecu . i- euperb flights Wilbur Wright essayed a new and daring metnoa oi anmn. stopped the motor at a height of 75 feet and tried to come to earth on a gradual descending glide. The calculations were not absolutely correct and the left wing of the aeroplane came in contact with the ground. This tore the frame of the machine. Mr. Wright was not injured. Mr. Wright said he did not regard the accident as serious, and explained that these were only incidental experiences devoted to acquiring complete mastery of the difficulties of aviation and the execu tion of new maneuvers. Mr. Wright's first flight this morning eclipsed all his former efforts. He made Beveral com plete tours of the field over the tops of the trees. According to the official time he was In the air 8 minutes and 53 sec onds. The aeroplane master encountered a 15-mile breeze, but in spite of this he displayed greater facility In maneuvering than he did when there was a dead calm. Mr. Wright's second flight, which lasted two minutes, was a novel one. The aeroplanist soared and descended at will, executing bewildering turns. Suddenly when approaching the ground near the grandstand the machine lost its speed -and began curving slowly toward the earth. All appeared to be well until it was tilted to leeward and the delicate framework struck, the ground, with the result that it was deranged and torn. Mr. Wright calmly stepped out and Avanlno1 tha wrprk He was 'Quickly surrounded i,y anxious friends, to whom i ... a .ah tnn mere nan neen nu accident in the air, but that he had merely decided to try a new descent. He shut off the motor at a height of 75 feet and endeavored to float down ward. The real cause of the accident was the attempt to land exactly on the spot of his departure. In listing the planes at the last moment in an attempt to continue the sliding, he pulled the left plane too sharply. The damage can be repaired easily, al though because of the absence of the necessary material the work will re quire several days. Among the spectators today were Miss Morgan, daughter of J. P. Mor gan: M. Kapserer, the engineer of the French dirigible balloon Vllle de Paris, and other French enthusiasts. ZEPPELIX PRAISES WRIGHT Has Best of Wishes for Fellow Worker In Aeronautics. FP.IEDRICHSHAFEN. Aug. 13. Count Zeppelin made the following statement today to the Associated Press: "I am heartily gratified at the suc cess attained by Wilbur Wright at Lemans, the more so because I always have considered the efforts of Ameri cans as greatly advancing the final solution of the aerial problem. This was so, even during the period when others said aerial navigation was all a humbug. I cannot see, however, that Mr. Wright's success will minimize that of my airships. While I readily admit that the tricklness of balloons always must be reckoned with, the motor balloon as a means of convey ance certainly Is superibr to the aero plane. "The aeroplane requires great dex terity and iong practice for flight. I do . not mention the Inability of the aeroplane to ascend to any great alti tude nor its limited scope of action, because improvements in this respect are only a question of time. But let us say, for instance, that In time of war an airship and an aeroplane were reconnoitering the position of the enemy. The results obtained by tne aeroplanlstsr with the present apparatus would of necessity be unsatisfactory, because it is necessary for the. single person on i-oard the aeroplane to give his entire attention to the manage ment of the machine. This work re quires great concentration and leaves neither time nor opportunity for obser vation. "On the other hand, a balloon can carry a number of persons who can devote all their time to observation. "Both the aeroplane and the navi gable balloon may perish In a storm or be destroyed by projectiles; both are Imperfect as yet. "I hope Mr. Wright will continue his splendid flights. We mean to learn as much from him as he does from us. We are pulling on the same thing and common experiences will lead to the accomplishment of our common pur pose." In conclusion Count Zeppelin said he desired to send through the Associated Press his hearty thanks for the numer ous messages of sympathy he had re ceived front all parts of the Lnlted States since the loss of his balloon.
