CRET nOODSOV. TWO HOLD PARLEY Third Party Talk Follows Bryan-La Follette 'Confab.' MEETING IS ACCIDENTAL Peerless Leadrr nd Wisconsin Sen ator Say They Talked Merely About Direct Election Chi cago Seeks Convention. (Cjntlnu.d From first P- Inder. Proitress was slow because of tha general desire to consult Mr. Bryan, and his arrival, scheduled for 4 o'clock, was awaited with Impatience. Wreck Delays Trata. His train, blockaded by a wreck, was two hours late. Many prominent Dm ocratlo leadera we- at tha station. After handshakings all around, Mr. Bryan and Senator I -a Folletta seemed to sight ech other about the same im. Thv rushed toward each other and shook bands and then lost no time I in withdrawing a short distance rrom tha crowd. They sat down on a bench and conversed with vldent earnestness for several minutes. "What's being doner' was tha ques tion waiting Democrats seemed to ba asking; each other, as they watched. Some consternation was apparent. Soma Skepticism Reasalna. When Mr. Bryan and tha Senator parted, tnere was another show of good feeling. Mr. Bryan then explained that senator La Folletta and ha had talked about the resolution pending in Con gress providing for the election of Sen atoia by popular vote. Senator La Fol-l.-lte then gave, tha same) explanation by telephone, but In the minds of soma tuera remained a little skepticism. It was reported that Senator La Fol ltt had gone to th station to meet Mr. Bryan, but the Senator said tha meeting was purely accidental, result ing from the fact that their trains hap PMied tu Bet In at the same I lime. "We only talked about tha direct election resolution." said tha Senator. "We both are interested deeply In the subject and Colomd Bryan agrees with nia that tha resolution snould be passed." Colonel Bryan drove from the station to the homo of Cotter T. Bride, his clos est friend tn Washington. He declined to talk about any problem tha commit tee will bava to solve. It Is evident ba wanted to get hia bearings before Plunging into what promises to ba a stirring gathering. After removing travel staina. Colonel liryan drove to the hotel apartment of Norman K. Mack, chairman of tha N tional committee, and dlned with him. Peerless Leader aesloae4. At the hotel Mr. Bryan was met by a large number of newspspermen. Ha was ssked questions In every concelv stle form, but would not discuss can didates, contests. Presidential pri maries or any of the matters pending before the committee, lie had no com ment to make on a letter written years' ao by Woodrow Wllsn to a mend Inquiring whether there was not some dignified way of getting rid of this man Bryan for all time, farther than to s.y it oucbt to make friends for him (Governor Wilson) for those who are most Interested In it. W. F. McCombs. manager of the Woodrow Wilson headquarters, charged tonight that the report of friction be tween Wilson and Bryan was Inspired in Wall street, snd that other stories of the same kind might be expected from that source. He tiid not deny the existence of the alleged letter, how ever. Hsrasslm Are Seared. Something fully aa sensational as any Wilson letters or Mr. Bryan's at titude occurred to send a chill down the spines of the Harmonites. Pol Iticiana are raking the wastebas"kets of the dim and dusky past right now t bring forth letters that may compro mise leading candidates now In the Presidential race. Harmon s turn to feel the regret of letter-writing folly, granting that the Wilson forces ba perturbed over the ancient Brysn animadversion, cams with arrival of National Committee man Harvey C. Oarber, of Ohio, Mr. Garber brought an autograph letter written by Governor Harmon away back in UTS on tbe letterhead of the then "People's party." on which hia name appeared aa secretary. Tbs letter was written to friend In the northern part of the fta'.e and, after detailing plans for supplying stickera to place over the namu of the Democratic candidate for Governor, William Allen, an uncla of the late Allen G. Thurman, and know as "Ris ing Sun" Allen, suggested a movement to wipe out the Democratic party and form a new political organisation. . Letter la Withheld. Mr. Garber refused late tonight to give up the letter for publication, but It was shown to some of the National leadera during the day and they ex pressed tha opinion that It would em barrass If not render Impossible the Ohio Governor's candidacy for the Presidency this year. The significant feature of this comment is that some of It came from men who have been listed as Harmon supporters. It Is believed the bit of ancient his tory Involved will be given full pub licity before the present gathering of Democratic leaders Is ended and that It will form one of the greatest polit ical sensations of the day. Truly, tha Democratic scheme of harmony Is de veloping a collection of axes and a determination to swing them that has not been paralleled since the party was split asunder on the free silver Issue. It begins to look as though every possibility In the race has some kind of psst that he might like to forget under present conditions and that the best the party may be able to do is to amend the Constitution and pick a leader about the age of the Emperor of China, who has not arrived at a letter-writing age. Chicago Eaters Race. Chicago entered the arena this morn ing. Denver threw its forces Into ac tion a few hours later and all the rest of the day and the night the four cornered contest, five-cornered If New Tork Is counted In, over the location of tha Democratic National convention has been raging fiercely. There will be gathered here tomor row nearly every man who has been mentioned for the Democratic nomina tion or at least all active and recep tive candidates will be represented. In person there will be Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey; Governor Foss, of Mas sachusetts; Speaker Champ Clark and ex-Governor Fallt, of Missouri; Gov ernor Dlx. of New York; Senator Kern, of Indiana, who Is supposed to be the representative of Governor Marshall, but who is regarded by many as being a dark horse probability, and Senator Newlands. of Nevada, who has a "pro gressive" platform. Urey Woodson, of Kentucky, secre tary of the National committee, said to day he believed there sii little senti ment for chsnglng the manner ot nom inating candidates. "For more than a hundred years," said Mr. Woodson, "in fact, ever sines wa have had a Democratic party, every candidate has secured a two-thirds vote of the convention, and I cannot see why the Democratic party ahould make a change at thta time." BOYS MAY BE FETTERED "PCX TEMPLE" HELD CXF1T BY CHICAGO WOMAN'. Search for Dignitary of Cult Who Wa Cited by Court Is Con tinued Without Hesult. CHICAGO. Jan. 7. (Special.) Tha boy disciples of the Eun worshipers cult of which "Rev." Ottoman Zar Adusht Hanlsh is ths high priest, prob ably will ba taken In charge by tha Juvenile Protective Association, ac cording to Mrs. Gertrude Howe Brit ton. "Although our investigators may have learned but little that Is definite concerning the secrets of the cult," said Mrs. Brltton today, "our suspicions are aroused and we believe the 'Sun Temple' Is no place ror boys to stay. Oit future course depends largely on what Judge Mcrrltt W. Plnkey decides In the case of William Lindsay, the 12-year-old boy who was taken from tbe bun worshippers and then disap peared. If the Judge decides that the 'Sun Temple' Is no place for tba Lind say boy, then it Is certainly not a de sirable residence for the other boys wno are employed there." Carlos D. Hespe. a high dignitary in the Mazuaxnan cult, who was cited to appear in Judge Plnkey'a court and who disappeared, has not been found. Wlllard M. McEwen. attorney for tha uncles of William Lindsay, In their ef fort to gain the custody of tbe boy, declared today that he believed Hespa held tha key to the situation and could tell where the missing heir was.

ANTI-TRUST CASE IS UP Second Report on Cartiutck Amend ment to Interstate Commerce Law May Be Handed Down, Among Otliera. WASHINGTON. Jan. 7. With more than 100 cases under consideration, the Supreme Court of the lTnited States is expected to hand down many Important decisions tomorrow, when It convenes after the holiday recess. More light may be shed on the anti trust problem by decisions In the St. Louis bridge case, the "hard coal" case against the principal anthracite coal carrying railroads and coal-producing companies of Pennsylvania, and the "cotton corner" case, arising out of transactions on the New York Cotton Exchange. Lawa to Be Touched On. The validity of several Federal laws may be determined. Foremost among these is the employers' liability law, which has been under consideration by the court since last February. A second decision may be rendered re garding the validity of the "Carmack amendment" to the Interstate com merce laws, whereby Initial carriers were made liable for damages or loss of goods whether occurring on their lines or those of connecting carriers. The fate of a score or more of state laws may be decided. Of these, the constitutionality of the Oregon initia tive and referendum system has at tracted the most attention, because the ruling of the court will be applicable to laws in nearly half the states of the Union. Foreign corporation laws of Kansas, New Tork and Texas may ba passed upon. Washington Meaeare I p. Other laws under consideration are the "hours of service law" for rail road employes in the State of Wash ington, the Missouri anti-trust law, the North Dakota drainage law, the Kan sas "black powder law." the New York transfer tax law. the Montana law tax ing hand laundries, the North Carolina law regulating the receipt of goods by railroads, and the Arkansas law re quiring railroads to pay within 30 days claims for livestock killed by trains. Several general questions of law may be decidod. such as the validity of the transfer of allotted lands by thousands of Oklahoma Indians, and the liability of Insurance companies for policies on the lives of men executed for murder. The latter point aroso in the case of Samuel J. McCue. Mayor of Charlottes ville. Va.. who was executed In 1905 for the murder of his wife. SNOW WRAPS NORTHWEST tContlnugd From First Pace.) lng without a cloud in the sky, snow was S4 Inches deep in the city. In some parts of the upper valley the depth Is five feet. The first passenger train to arrive this afternoon was the Oregon-Washington Limited, delayed from yesterday afternoon. The front engine of the two pulling ths train was derailed in the local yard. Crews are busy replacing It. Although the temperature was regis tered at 6 degreea at 8:30 o'clock in the city this evening and will probably go below zero before morning, no damage will result In the valley from the excessive cold. However, in case of a rain or a top thaw followed by a freexe-up, a quick melting of the snow which stands from SO Inches In the lower valley to from four to five feet In the upper regions, may strip the branches of the young trees. The old trees will not suffer, says C. H. Sproat, manager of the union, but a heavy thaw may damage the young trees. A. I. Mason advises or chardlsts to break the snow from around young trees. K. W. Arena, a young orchafdlst, who has 30 acres of young trees in the Central Vale region, has had a crew of men busy on skis today on his tract removing the snow from around the bodies of the young trees. Others think that the snow, which covers the tips of young trees, should be allowed to remain as a blan ket for protection. "If the snow melts slowly." says Mr. Mason. "Its fertilisation value will be Inestimable and the season's crop will be benefited by tha moisture that will ba Insured."

All telegraph and tele phone lines Into Portland were down and practlcallv all telegraph lines in other directions were not working.

If the wind continues there Ib no certainty Curing Catarrh Accept Our Advice and Try This Remedy at Our Risk. Catarrh Is a disease of the mucous membrane. The mucous membrane Is, one may say, the interior lining of the body. Catarrh the'-fore may exist in any part of the system. When the catarrhal poison attacks the mucous membrane, inflammation and congestion are produced and nature fails to throw off the accumulated poi sons. The organ which has been afDicted ceases to perform its proper function as nature intended it should. The result is, complication upon com plication, which may lead to other even more serious afflictions. We honestly believe Rexall Mucu Tone will do wonders toward overcom ing catarrh. It is made from the pre scription of an eminent physician who made a long study of catarrh, and his great success with this remedy was an enviable one. We want you if you are a sufferer from catarrh in any form, to give Rexall Mucu - Tone a thorough triaL Use It with regularity and persistency for a reasonable time, then if you are not satisfied come b-ck and tell us. and without question or formality we will band back to you every cent you paid us.
