At the Indian camping ground at
Cayuee hundreds of white people
gathered on the afternoon of the
Fourth to see the redmcn parade,
and among those in the throng was
the Hon. Francis E. Leupp, commis

Moorchourto Indians at Walla Walla.
Though no special train was run to
Walla Walla because -of lack of fa

Fleet Should Bo Kept In the Pacific
and More Ships Built If Thry Arc

Oposcd by Middle West.
(By B. H. Canfleld, correspondent for
United Press.
Denver, Col., July 6. If the Pacific
coast delegations work hard enough
for it there Is a good chance for a
coastlefense plank In the platform.
Naturally the democratic leaders re
allze such a move would be good pol
itics, because of tho turn down the
Pacific coast defense measure recclv
ed at the Chicago convention. Mayor
Dahlinan said: "I am for the Pacific
coast defense and am going to talk It,
work for it and. if the coast delega
tlon is behind me we will do business.
I will advocate that the fleet be kept
In the Pacific. If another fleet Is
reeded In the Atlantic we ought to
Lulld one, and not take the ships from
the Pacific."
The movement will meet opposition
from the waterways of the Mississippi
volley. Consequently the defense
measure is up against a hard fight
One Pacific coast boom for the vice-
presidency, that of Franklin K. Lane,
of California, is dead. One that lives
belongs to the older Bell. However,
Bell's boom is very sick and -barely
able to sit up. Some figure that the
temporary, chairmanship is enough
honor for him.
FATALITIES OF THE FOURTH.
Partial Returns Show 38 Dead nnd
1429 Injured.
Chicago, July 6. In Chicago, as
elsewhere, despite the brave struggle
In behalf of a "safe and sano" Fourth,
there was scant Improvement over
previous Fourths, and the result of
all the efforts toward reform cai.

pellation of near sane.
The death roll for this year's
Fourth is 38, and the returns are still
Incomplete. Reports of deaths and
casualties were still coming In and
the total of the Injured had reached
1429.
In Chicago alone, where the cru
sade for a safe and sane Fourth was
strongest this year, there are eight
dead and 180 Injured. The fire loss

Among the Possibilities,
( By John Nevins, correspondent for
United Press.)
Denver. Col., July 6. The center of
activity in the democratic party Is the
Brown Palace hotel.
On the eve. of the assembling of the
convention the national committee Is
hard at work making up a temporary
roll of deli-gates. While bands are
playing outside, the delegations are
cheering each other as they march
and countermarch about the streets.
Some of the contests are being hard
fought.
The national committee was called
to order at 10 o'clock this morning
by Chairman Taggart.
"We arc the only regular "demo
crats," Is the cry of the aggrieved
applicants for seats as they button
holed members of the committee be
fore the meeting; "If you do not
recognize our claims the cause "will
suffer
After Secretary Woodson read the
list of contests, a motion was adopted
that separate sub-committees should
hear the evidence in tho contests from
each state and report their conclu
sions to the main body. It was de
cided to appoint them Immediately.
The committee adjourned until 4
o'clock when the contests will be con
sidered. Following is a full list of contests
Idaho, the entire delegation; Illinois,
first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth,
seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth dis
tricts; New York, second, third,
fourth, fifth and sixth; Ohio, ninth
and 19th; Pennsylvania, first, second,
third, fourth, fifth and sixth; District
of Columbia, entire delegation.
Grounds of the contests range from
"irregularity" to "allegations of
fraud."
Pacific Cust Divided.
There will be no effort made by
the Pacific coast delegation favoring
the antl-lnjunction plank. The dele
gation is willing to discuss the Japan
ese exclusion plank which stands no
chance of being seriously considered,
but is silent on antlinjunction.
The majority of the California and
Washington delegates as there ought
to be some change in the injunction
procedure, but that it should be a
conservative change. The Washing
ton delegation is out for a safe, sane
and harmless anti-injunction plank
Thomas J. Casey of Seattle, secretary
of Seattle, secretary of the Bryan vol
unteers, is righting for the plank that
labor wants. Casey says Charles G.
Heifner, a member of the Washing
ton delegation and a Seattle politician,
Is working hard against labor Inter
ests. Heifner says he is out for a
modified plank, but does not want the
power of injunuction destroyed.

Mrs. Laura Hill, another member or
the lodge In the float, was' Injured
seriously.. ' Miss Elsie Emele and Miss
Galmer escaped from the wreck un
injured, although they apparently oc
cupied as dangerous a place as the
otjier women.
Fully 16,000, people had assembled
on Front street to witness the gala
event, and when the runaway took
place, changing the float from a
handsome piece of art to a pile of
wreckage, a gloom overtook the large
crowd from which It did not recover
during the entire evening.

FIRST TLME COMMISSIONER
HAS EVER, BEEN HERE.
Presence Is Matter of Much Interest
and Speculation Is Accompanied
by Wife and Daughter In Gaining
First Hand Knowledge Here and It
Willing to See White Renters and
Others Who Have Business With
His Department No Public Meet
ing Will Be Held Spending Today
With .Accumulated Correspondence.
Francis E. Leupp, commissioner of
Indian affairs and by virtue of that
position the head of the Indian service
in the United States, is a visitor at
the Umatilla agency at present He
arrived here Friday evening and while
no definite time has Been announced
for his departure, it is understood
that he will be here for two or three
days longer at least.
While there is no special signlfi-
ane attached to Commissioner
Leupp's visit as he says he has no
particular mission in coming, yet his
sojourn is a matter of much interest
to those connected with reservation -affairs.
It is his first visit to the
Umatilla reservation and further
more this is probably the first time
a commissioner has ever visited the
reservation. It is explained that Mr.
Leupp was en route to the Colville
reservation in Washngton and that he
stopped off. here while on his way. He
is accompanied by his wife and
daughter,
Before coming here Major McFat
ridge was personally acquainted with
the commissioner so the two men are
not strangers. Together they have
been going over reservation matter!
since Mr. Leupp's arrival and by be
ing on the ground the commissioner
has an opportunity to see and learn
things first hand.
While no public meeting will be
held the commissioner is ready to
meet those having business on the
reservation, and white, renters or oth
ers desiring to see him may do so by
calling at the agency. However, his
time this afternoon was taken up with
correspondence which had accumu
lated here.
