John VanZante, New Municipal Judge
Fourth judicial district to succeed John

For a long time the mayor has been
cogitating over the appointment- of a

eratlon and make the announcement of '
hi final choice. Mr. Van Zante, ha
said, la to be the next municipal Judge.

offices In the Commercial building and
Is well known and well thought of by
his associates of the Multnomah bar.
Mr. Van Xante has forseveral years
been prominent and actlre In the coun
cils of the licmocratic party In Mult
nomah county. He was chairman of the
citv central committee during the mu
nicipal election wlilcn resulted In the
election of Minor iJine last June aj

as a recognition or ins qualities as a
man and us an attorney.
In mak n the announcement or i Mr,
Van Zante's appointment last night.
Mayor Lane Bald that he had made the
selection because he believed mat Mr.
Van Zante was qualified In every way
for the position. He knew him to be
honest and honorable In private life and
in the practice of his profession, did not
believe that he could be corrupted by
outside influences during Ills term of
office and that he would make a worthy
head of the Judicial department of the
municipality.
Hew Clerk to Ba Warned.' '
The contest for the appointment to
fill the unexpired term of Judge Cam

Penver, Pol., July 4. The managers
in behalf of Governor John A. Johnson
of Minnesota set their activity at con

NO ARRESTS, NONE HURT
l
' Many years will pass before another
, such peaceful Fourth of July will be
recorded at the Oaks. More than 20,000
fun-loving Americans spent the after
noon and evening In the Coney Island
"" of the northwest yesterday, and In all
. the big throng not a single arrest was
. made by the score and more of special
police who were assigned to patrol the
grounds.
. Never before In the history of Port
- -land has such a remarkable fact been
' noted, Not even one case ef drunken
ness reported In an army of a score of
thousands of pleasure-seeking human
..; beings and on the Fourth of July, too.!
Th only work the special officers
Jiad to do yesterday was to find lost
children. Ten little wanderers were re
stored to anxious parents during the
y. inree pocxeioooKs were reported
lost and were returned to tbelr owners
within 10 minutes after the complaint
had been made In each instance.
Uttle Tots Lost.
An amusing Incident occurred when
the two little McCroskey girls, whose
parents live on Fargo street, became
separated from their guardians in the
crowd. The children are aged 6 and 8
years. They 'were brought to Manager
Freeman's office crying and declaring
that "Mamma and papa have given us
ine sup." wnen tnev thought of this
v outrage they ceased crying and became
"real mad." A neighbor who knew
: the MeCroskeys brought the tots home
after they had been lost about three
hours.
"I'm a little weeny boy, and I'm lost
and want a curly dooggy." This was
-the wall of a little chap about 6 years
old who lives over on the east side
omewhere.
He had seen the dog circus on the
lawn and was more anxious to get one
of the clever canines than to be sent
home. A neighbor who knew the house
where, the youngster lived volunteered
to lane him to his parents.
Family Separated.
Most amusing of all was the semira
tlon of the Zelms family, who live on
Alberta street. First the ydung son of
unaries zeim became separated rrom
his young sister. The two began look
ing for each other and the heart-broken
mother and another little daughter
started out tn search or the lost one.
The. mother and the remaining child
drifted apart- and soon all four wc-ft
hastening about the grounds frightened
Dy tne crowds ana arraid lest they
would never meet again. The lost quar
tette was reunited hours later by the
special officers, who brought them one
by one into Manager Freeman's office.
The chutes broke down . about 2
o'clock In the afternoon, and with a
rush the carriers slid backwards down
the greaserfcjf alls, but luckily no one
was on them5: A cog sltppei, that was
all, but there wasn't any more shoot

who were, absorbed In getting seats
themselves, was the big rush for the!

said they would be much pleased If the

an opportunity was presented wherebv

Manager Lynch was busy answerine
the report that Johnson's name would
not be presented to the convention. H
stated emphatically that Johnson would
be nominated and the nomination sec
onded and the vote of Minnesota cast
for Johnson if not a single other dele
gate voted ror him.
He did not speak in bitterness, he
said, but simply wished to set forth
cieariy tne raot that there would be a
roll call nnd that Johnson would go on
record as a candidate for president at
the convention. He cxnressed confi
dence that Johnson would reoeivn n

A telegram was received from a Dem

nominated he would guarantee to raise

Lincoln, Neb., July 4. There was
plenty of Fourth of July racket In Lin
coln today. Moat of it was made by the
Bryan threshing machine. The grea

seemingly fully as effective as Roose

So Johnson on Any Terms.
T. D. O'Brien, who has been a Minne
sota state officer and so close a friend
of Johnson that he is a delegate-at-large,
arrived today fresh from an in
terview with. Bryan at Lincoln. Hrynn
had invited him to call on his way to
Denver The peerless leader expressed
his dissatisfaction over the fact that
Minnesota ha1 got into the presidential
fight. He Indicated that even if John
son was willing to take second plnce
his nomination would not be satisfac
tory to Bryan. The Johnson men how
ever, did not tak this seriously, be
cause, they said, under no circumstances
would Johnson accept second place on
the. ticket.
A pleasing- bit of news that came to
the Johnson headquarters was a tele

And- then came Judge W. G. Prentiss

Late tonight the positive statement
was made by a big New England Dem
ocrat, wno nas Deen closer than any
body else to Bryan for the past 4S
hours, that Mayor Brown of Lincoln
would be the next chairman, campaign
manaper and collector of funds. Bryan
says he knows nothing about it. He
nops to Bryan's riddling with alacrity,
Humus inni t-nis is so in-every respect,
and his close geographical relations
with the leader, as well as his strength
among Nebraska Democrats, makes his
selection look altogether reasonable, say
those who have been Interviewed.
Mayor Tom Johnson of Cleveland de
nies stoutly that he would acronl the
chairmanship. He was at Bryan's home
for over 24 hours, arguing initiative
and referendum, and government own
ership of all public service utilities. He
got no encouragement from Bryan, His
interview was short but cheerful. He
said:
Calls Bryan CTltraconserratlva.
"Bryan Is an ultraconservrlv xnm.

me who would cut out custom houses
