THK SUNDAY OREGOMAN. PORTLAND. DECEMBER 8, 1907. 0WB0ILII6 ENTHUSIASM Vociferous Acclamations for Bryan Given at Dollar Dinner. TELLS OF BORROWED IDEA Says Ho Suggested licensing of Corporations, but Approve ltec ommetirtatlon of Koosevell About Campaign F.xiienses. OMAKA. Neb., Dec 7.' William J. Bryan was the chief .' at a dollar dinner given at the Auditorium tonight by the Dahlman Democratic dub. at which about 1200 persons were present. Following the banquet the galleries were thrown open to the public and about 3000 persons availed themselves of the opportunity to near the speeches of the eveninpr. The enthusiasm with which Mr. Bryan was received exceeded any demonstration ever (riven by the peo ple of his own state. It was the first time he had addressel a Nebraska audience since he announced his wil lingness to accept the Democratic nomination and, when he arose to a-peak it took several minutes of demonstration to satisfy the gathering. The band played "The Star-Spangled Banner," but the crowd continued to cheer until Mr. Bryan waved for silence. More Borrowed Ideas. The enthusiastic reception was evi dently noted with considerable feeling by the Democratic leader, and he ac knowledged the hearty greeting in a feeling Introductory to his speech. Mr. Bryan followed the line of argu ment pursued In his speech at Wash ington, adding to the things which he stated In that speech were borrowed from the Democratic platform, one new suggestion contained in the message of President Roosevent sent to Congress last Tuesday. This additional sugges tion .refers to the recommendation of the President of a license system for the trusts. Mr. Bryan also Indorsed the Presi dents suggestion In regard to appro priating money for campaign funds, Keying that, while it was an original suggestion for which the President should have credit, It was Democratic in spirit and purpose. It Rank and File Choose Him. Many references had been made dur ing the evening to Mr. Bryan's candi dacy for the .Democratic nomination and to these suggestions the speaker gave little encouragement, except to state that his position remained the same as indicated in the pronunela mento given out by him some time ago. He reiterated that his position was unchanged and that his accept ance of the nomination would be forth coming. If he were satisfied the rank and file of the party wished him again to lead their forces. GO HIGHEIl Oil QUIT THE GAME Hughes Will KeMre From Pollllc-8 Unless Elected President. NEW TOrtK. Dec. 7. State Senator Alfred II. Page, regarded as one of Governor Hughes' personal friends, said today that the Governor would not ac cept a rertomination. He Said that, if the Governor continued In puhlic life after the end of next year, It would be because the Republicans elected him President of the United States. Has Made No Further Declaration. WASHINGTON. Dec. 7. -Although" sev eral interviews have been published with recent White House callers to the- ef fect that the President has declared a each. anew, he will decline another nomination.-it Is said the President has made no such declaration. It is pointed out that if he contemplates such a statement he would not embody It In a casual con versation with a caller, to be repeated or withheld as the caller should elect, but would make It direct and this he has not done. LINER STICKS ON MUDBANK Carmanla Blocks Xew York Chan nel, but Is Again Floated. . NEW YORK. Dec. 7. The hig CUnard liner Carmanla, which became wedged fast on a soft mudbank that streaks Its way across the new Ambrose channel, while leaving port todav for Riirnno won floated Into deep water at high-tide to-i mgni ana returned to quarantine, appar ently none the worse for her experience. She will probably continue her inter rupted voyage lato tonieht. The big Cunarder left her pier early '"") uouna lor uverpool, and was picking her course under fair speed down the new Ambrose channel, which was recently opened to navigation and which la a short cut to sea. Suddenly there whs a grinding under the keel and before the nig propeiuers could be reversed and check her course, the Carmanla found hrself lodged, on a mudbank about a quarter of a mile northwest of Romer Hhoal lighthouse. The Carmania slowly swung diagonally across the channel blocking the waterway for vessels of large draught. Efforts to get the ship off In the ebbing tide were futile. At high-tide tflday a small fleet of tues strained and tugged at the huge liner and slowly the Carmanla slid off the mud ridge Into the deep waters of the channel. She then returned to quaran tine, and on investlgatlnn she was found to have sustained no damage. ARMY AND NAVY DISAGREE Issue la Choice of Naval Base In Philippines. CHICAGO. Dee. 7. A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington. D. C. says: The . position of the United States as a naval power In the Far East may be se riously Jeopardized by the sharp contro versy which has been in progress for aev-e-al wceka between the Army and Navy. The controversy arose a a result of the decision of the general board of the Navy to establish a naval base at Sublg Bay. Island of I-'xon. Tfce Army insists that the proper place for this bse is Manila. Secretary Taft Inspected both Manila and Sublg Bay while In the Philippines; and sides with the Array. Admiral Dewey Insists that the Secretary has taken his Tlswa from officers of the Army and that wTH a gross strategical blunder would be com mitted If Manila Bay should be made the naval refuge. The Navy generally is behind the Ad miral, claiming that the Army is actuated in its opposition to Subig"Bay solely by the desire to hear the band play on -'The Luneta" in Manila. Subig Bay is nothing but a Filipino vil lage, and the officers stationed there would find no means for diversion. Tn5 Army claim this Is a gruss libel, and that while Sublg Bay may be pro tected from a naval raid by means of a fleet and shore fortifications, it is open to successful assault from the rear. Within four days Japan, for Instance, could have 100,000 men on shore In Iaizoa and engaged in an assault upon Subig Bay. With the capture of that point the American fleet would be deprived of its base and be serlouply handicapped in con ducting operations in the Tar East. Ma;illa, on the other hand, according to the Army, would be as readily protected from the rear as from the sea. Therefore, tne Army says the proper place for the location of the naval base is Manila. The general staff of the Army is engaged in preparing a memorandum set ting forth its reasons why Manila should be selected. The .general board of '.the Navy is engaged in a like task. The joint board of the Army and Navy is consider ing the subject. Secretary Taft is under stood to "have reduced his views to writ ing. These various documents will be laid before the president and his. decision will ba final. GHIGASO CONVENTION CITY SEVEN OF TEN PRESIDENTS ARE , NOMINATED THERE. Since I860 Scene of Political As semblies Coliseum Most Per fect Convention Hall, CHICAGO, Dec. 7. (Special.) Chi cago holds clear title to the name "Convention City," for of the eight men elected directly to the presidency since 1SB0 six were nominated in this city. Within that period of nearly half a century 10 National gatherings have been held here by the Republican and Democratic parties nearly one-half of the great quadrennial assemblages bad during that time. Of the eight men elected, directly to the White House to fill the' 12 Presidential terms since 1860, Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Cleveland, Harrison and Roosevelt were named In Chicago. The two that did not come from a convention here were Hayes and McKinley. For their second terms, Lincoln and Grant were nominated in other cities, but Cleveland came from a Chicago convention both times that he was elected. Seven Presidents Named There. Of the three Vice-Presidents that 4ook up the mantles of the three "mar tyr" Presidents Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley Johnson, who became Presi dent at the death of Lincoln, was nomi nated for Vice-President at the Balti more convention that named the "Great Emancipator" for his second term, while Roosevelt's Vlce-Prcstdentlal nomination came from the Philadelphia conclave that picked McKinley for the second term that was cut short by the bullet of Czolgosz. In all, 10 men have sat in the White House since 1860, in cluding Vice-Presidents who stepped into vacancies, and of these seven have been nominated at National assem blages held in this city. The Presidential nomination will be fought out in the Coliseum the great est building of Its kind on the conti nent In point of seating capacity, light. ventilation, acoustic properties, fire pro tection and general comfort of appoint ments. The building made such an im pression on the National .leaders in 1904, on account of Its accommodations, that It Is small wonder that the Na tional committee decided again to pitch its tent by Lake Michigan. More -Seats In Coliseum. A seating capacity of 12,000 was set as the minimum limit for a convention hall Wuen the National "committeemen began to consider the question of a site for 190S. The ordinary . capacity of the Coliseum is placed at 10.000, which can be increased to 12.000 without over-crowding. By the present ar rangement of galleries, however, much available space goes to waste, and the management of the building. In con junction with the citizens who secured the, meeting for Chicago, Is planning to build "hanging galleries" that will increase the accommodations to 15,000. Engineers have been drafting the necessary plans, and by the time the interior of the building is remodeled the immense amount of space under the present galleries that was wasted three years ago, will be utilized, giv ing seats enough for the delegates and for more spectators than heretofore have been able to enjoy the privilege of witnessing the deliberations of a great National convention. The cost of the alterations Is expected to be $12,000 to $20,000. . BEG TO BE FORGOTTEN McCurdies Hide in France, Sick and Heartbroken. x NEW YORK. Dec. 7. The American this morning quotes Louis A. Thebaud, son-in-law of Richard A. McCurdy, for mer president of the Mutual Life In surance Company, as saying that both Mr. McCurdy and his son Robert are very sick and that it is probable neither will recover. According to the inter view, Mr. Thebaud refused to state where the- former insurance men are, further than to say they are In France. "I don't know just where they are," said Mr. Thebaud. "I have not heard from them directly for some time. They are over there, somewhere, heartbroken and sick. Why don't people let them alone? Haven't they suffered enough already? Haven't enough false charges been made against them? Aren't they entitled to rest in peace now? -Let them be forgotten."

RESCUER CATCHES FIRE Steamer Nelson Attempts to Give Aid and Narrowly Escapes Destruc tion Herself Doomed Vessel Ashore Off Eureka Bar. . SAN FRANCISCO, Dec1. 7. (Special.) A wireless message from the coast below Eureka brought the information tonight that the tramp steamer Sotoyome was burning off the Eureka bar. The crew had escaped by taking to the boats. As far as can be learned, no lives have been lost. The Sotoyome was en route from Co quille River to San Francisco with a cargo of lumber. Captain Peterson took the vessel far out to dodge the storm. By some mischance, which the wireless did not explain, the cargo caught fire. The men fought desperately to quertch the flames, but soon it became apparent that the only hope lay In leaving the ship. The anchor was cast, and the men took to the boats. Soon they were picked up by the steamer Lakme, which made toward Eureka. The steamer Charles Nelson passed along and made an attempt to save the Sotoyome. The Nelson fastened to the Sotoyome with the Idea of towing her into Eureka. 'It was a hard and perilous fight. After a few miles had been covered, the flames communicated to the Nelson and the towing boat was forced to abandon her charge and fight for her own life. The flames on the Nelson were extinguished before any serious damage had been done. Like a great torch, the flames shooting funnel-shaped Into her masts, the Soto yome drifted with the wind. As night came on she loomed up a veritable tower of light, visible for hundreds of miles. Gradually the vessel drifted to the coast and late tonight hit the bar near Eureka. The last wireless message stated that the vessel was still flaming as she lay strand ed at the approacn to the harbor. She is of 398 tons. WAR .WAGED ON THE RATS San Francisco to Keep Them Front Houses by Ordinance. SAN FRAkCISCO, Dec. 7. (Special.) The Board of Health today filed with the Supervisors drafts of three pro posed ordinances to Improve the Banl tary condition of the city. One of the proposed laws provides that the foun dations of all new buildings must be of stone, brick, cement, or other rat-proof material; the foundations' must ex tend two feet below the surface of the soil, with a thickness of at least nine inches at the top, and the entire floor area under houses must be of concrete. All openings in foundation walls must be provided with heavy nets or. screens to bar rats and other vermin. With foundations of this character it is hoped to keep rats and mice out ' of houses and thus prevent the possible spread of disease by them. In view of the many complaints, being filed with the Supervisors relative to the unsanitary, condition of stables, the health board has drafted a new ordin ance. It provides that the floors of all stables must be of concrete, three Inches thick and covered with bitumen or as phalt All bins and receptacles must be of metal and ratproof. A third ordinance regulates the 'hand ling of garbage and provides that it must be burned without delay. CURTAIL COPPER OUTPUT Amalgamated Directors Will Hold It Down to Consumption. ' NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-The directors of the Amalgamated Copper Company to day voted to continue curtailing the out put of Copper from the mines of the com pany as nearly as possible on a parity with the present basis of consumption. It was also decided to authorize the oper ating offices to close each or continue in operation such mines and smelters as they deem best. This later action was taken with a view of concentrating the output at such mines and smelters as can be most economic ally operated. RESCUERS GIVE LIVES (Continued from First Page.) 'A piece of concrete weighing fully 1000 pounds was blown clear across, the West Fork River, landing on the side of a hill. In a radius of half a mile not another piece of concrete can be found. Great holes were torn in the hill on either side of the , entrance of No. $. Mine cars were crushed as though made' of paper, and the huge steel tipple was blown apart. On all sides electric light wires were (hrown to the ground and many persons narrowly escaped death from these in the rush from the mine follow ing the explosion. The Fairmont and Clarksburg Traction Company's car's passed within ten yards of the mine en trance and. a 'larg ecar, crowded with passengers, miraculously escaped being blown into the West Fork River. All the passengers were stunned by the terrific concussion. The mine officials state that 40 per cent of the victims are Americans. Governor Going to Scene. The company has sent rush orders for coffins to Pittsburg. Zanesville artd other towns, the total number orded being 380 up to this time. Governor Dawson, of West Virginia, no tified the company officers that he had or dered Chief Mine Inspector Paul, of Charleston, to the scene, and that he would arrive at Monongah this morning. President Watson, answering the Gov ernor, said the mine explosion was most deplorable, and that probably all who were in the mine at the time are dead. Mr. Watson said to the Associated Press every 'possible investigation would be "made of the disaster concerning, its cause and to fix responsibility. There was a slight fire inside of the stope of No. 8 mine this morning, due to the starting of the fan. It was extin guished after an hour and the fan, work ing steadily, greatly facilitated the efforts of the rescuers to get into the mines. Coroner E. S. Amos, of Fairmont, will probably begin the inquest Into the ex plosion Monday morning. Arrivals and Departures. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. T. Arrived Steamer Nevada, from Kahaulal.
