INDIANAPOLIS. Aug:. 20. Five per

were bruised and cut in the collapse
today of a grandstand seating: 300 in
University Place, where was being: ob
served the formal notification of Gov
ernor Marshall of his nomination as
Democratic candidate for Vice-PresI
dent. The Injured were -carried into
the Indiana Democratic Club nearby or
taken to hospitals and the notification
ceremony proceeded.
The grandstand had been set up on
the asphalt pavement directly back of
the speaker's platform.
Alton B. Parker, of New York, rep
resenting- the notification committee,
was in. the midst of his address when
the stand swayed and sank slowly to
the street and men and women In the
seats were piled together .among- the
tangled timbers of the structure.
Crowd Calmed by Taaaart.
Several thousand persons massed In
front of the speaker's platform crowd
ed about the fallen stand and men
helped the unhurt to scramble to their
feet and bore the injured to the club
house.
Thomas Taggart, National commit
teeman for Indiana, calmed the crowd
by shouting that no one had been e
riously Injured and Mr. Parker went on
with his speech.
When Governor Marshall accepted
V the - nomination, at the close of the
Governor's address, the distinguished
Kuests of the Indiana Democratic Club,
who had come for the ceremony, were
taken to the " Governor's home for
reception.
Seated in front of the grandstand
until it fell was a row of men promt
nent in National politics, among them
ex-Vice-President Fairbanks, Lewis
Nixon, of New York; Senator Gore, of
Oklahoma: Thomas Taggart, Samuel

governor of Indiana, and W. T. Dur-

to Mr. Parker when the grandstand

Marshall Chides Reanhllraas.
Governor Marshall in beginning his
iddress said that the Republican party
nad fostered special privilege to the
extent of making men everywhere so
Mallstic In theory if not in conduct
He continued:
. "It is idle for a. thoughtful man in
America, whether millionaire or pauper,
to longer play the ostrich. Safety does
not consist in holding one's head in the
sands of either sentiment or hope. It
is foolish for the vastly rich to keep on
insisting that more and more shall be
added to their riches through a. spe
cious system of special legislation os
tensibly enacted to run the Government,
in reality enacted to loot the people.
-It is worse than Ignorance for them
to smile at the large body of Intelligent
Americans who regard - themselves as
fortunate if the debit and credit ac
counts of life balance at the end of the
year, and to assume that the mighty
many, who are becoming convinced that
that social system which we call 'de
mocracy' is but a glittering generality,
will long endure the Industrial slavery

ful injustice of this economic system,

Discontent la Democratic.
"And shall any fair-minded man say
that if It redounds to the Interests of
the people of this country that 100 men
shall control Its business to the good
of everyone, there Is anything falla

Instead of transferring business to a
favored few for the benefit of all, should
Itself discharge that business for the
benefit of all?
"I do not hesitate to say that if It
be impossible to restore this Republic
to Its ancient Ideals, which I do not
believe, and I must make the ultimate
choice between the paternalism of the
few and the socialism of the many,
count me and my house with the throb

"The discontent in Republican ranks
' is democratic discontent. How much
of it has reached the point where,
wearied with the bad workings of a
good system, it Is willing to topple that
system over and try something new.

DISEASED STOCK FOUND
Lewiston Cattle . Quarantined City
Faces Meat Famine.
LEWISTON. Idaho, Aug. 20. (Spe
cial ) Investigation made today, by
state," county and city authorities re-
ealed what, is said to be one of the
most appalling conditions In livestock
ever discovered In this section of the
state. M. S. Parker, of Boise, deputy
pure food inspector, and H. W.. Armor,
assistant state veterinarian, of Lewis
ton, upon examination today found that
chickens, hogs and cows in some local!
ties were victims of tuberculosis in its
most advanced stage.
After killing several head of stock,
and finding that the disease was gen
eral, a large quantity were ordered
under quarantine, " and will be killed
ubject to destruction or sale. In event
they are not diseased, they will be sold.
Lewiston meat establishments have
found a frequency of such cases and
have been put to considerable disad
vantage. . .
The cases will be fully examined."
said Mr. Parker, after his trip, to the
country today. "Farmers whose stock
will be -the victims -are displaying no
aversion to our action: and will co
operate with us. Meat markets have
also shown their willingness to com
bat the disease."
It Is feared that if the disease is
general among the rattle of this lo
cality that there will result a meat
famine in Lewiston pending the In
vestigation of the pure food officers.

OVERWORKED. JAW REBELS
Vancouver Candidate Talks Till His
Face Goes Back on Him.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 20. (Spe
cial.) Talking- so much to men and
women voters in this county, in his
strenuous campaign for County Engl
neer. Walter A. Schwartz, present Dep
ntv Countv Ensrlneer. has resulted In
an ulcer, ,or some strange formation,
on his left jaw.
Mr. Schwartz, who was resident en
gineer during the building of the
North Bank Railroad through this city,
is ordinarily unusually quiet and reti
cent. Since he began his campaign he
has traveled all-over the county, mak
ing speeches at little gatherings, pic
nics, lodges and having personal chats
with voters. . This has had the ef
fect of tiring the facial muscles anil
overworking them to such a degree
that a large swelling on his jaw has
resulted.
Temporarily he Is kept out of the
campaign, but he will continue as soon
as the swelling goes down. Meanwhile
his only opponent, H. H. Lotter, for
merly City Engineer of Vancouver, is
working unusually hard campaigning.
SHINGLE PRICES SOARING

EUGENE, Or., Aug. 20. (Special.)
Pretty Mildred Green, the 12-year-old
daughter of Rev. R. A. Green, was mur
dered In the dawning hours of the
morning as she lay asleep on
her snowy white bed. In an isolated
part of her father's home, on West
Sixth street. Examination by phy
sicians showed mistreatment of the
body after death.
A jagged-edged hatchet or knife
which hewed its way across her white
neck, severing arteries and shattering
vertebrae, was the instrument which In
flicted Instant death.
A pool of blood saturating the bed
ding and trickling down to the floor
and branding bloody finger prints of
either the child victim or the murderer
are the only tangible clew in the hands
of the authorities.
Father Prays sad Moan.
Distracted at the awful crime that
took his child from him a few years
after his -wife had died, and bemoan
ing his thoughtlessness in having left
his 'daughter to., sleep alone in the
isolated part of the house. Rev. Mr.
Green is nearly prostrated, moaning
and muttering lamentations for him
self and prayers of mercy for the mur
derer. The three other children, now
visiting in St. Louis, have been sent for.
In the report that a negro was seen
running toward the railroad station
at 3 o'clock this morning, the police
believe they have a thread of evidence.
Bloodhounds taken to the' scene of
the tragedy hurried from the bedside
of the child to a closet In the room,
then to a fruit pantry beneath the
building. The dogs could pick up no
scent leading from the house. For
hours previous to arrival of the dogs
hundreds of persons had tramped
about the premises.
Mystery Eavelops Trtjgredy.
The crime was discovered at 8 o'clock,
several hours after the father had
arisen, and when he went to awaken
the girl for breakfast, after she had
failed to respond to her .usual call.
As great as Is the brutality of the
crime, still greater Is the myste"ry sur
rounding the entire tragedy, which was
enacted between the hours when the
father retired at midnight and when
he arose at 5 o'clock, and under the
same roof.
