While the convention hall was filling several delegations were parading the streets behind brass bands cheering for Bry an. Tammany made tho first appear ance In the street show and pressed into service four stalwart Indians, the reul things, clad In flaming blankets, with feathered headgear. When order was restored after tho bell had rapped, Rev. Christian F. Relsencr, pastor of Grace Methodist church, Denver, chaplain of the day, was Introduced., When he had finished the Milwau kee marching club, headed by Mayor Rose, paraded. Senator Gore, the blind Oklahotnan addressed the con vention and set the galleries and dele gates In an uproar by naming Bryan and calling him the greatest' living apostle of human liberty. During the cheering a banner bear ing Bryan's picture was brought Into the hall amid great confusion. The demonstration started at 1:19 and lasted until 2:47, beating the Roosevelt demonstration at Chicago by several minutes.

Contrary to all precedents the democratic resolu tions committee will spend two nights and a day In the construction of the platform. In tho preceding conven tions the committee worked all night long If necessary and the next morn ing turned In a completed Job. The Denver builders will be delib erate. After the adjournment of the night meeting of tho full committee, the sub-committee appointed by Gov. Haskell, chalrtflnn, was In session un til t o'clock this morning and re sumed its labors at 9 this morning after a short sleep and a hasty break fast. They will continue until 5 this afternoon when they expect to report to the full committee which will then proceed with the final preparation of the draft of the platform. They figure on reporting to the convention at 10 o'clock Thursday morning. Stormy Committee Session. Denver. Colo., July 8. After what was probably as stormy nn all nlsht ses.-ion of the credentials commltteo ns wns ever held at a democratic na tional convention, the permanent roll of the present convention Is still In complete this morning. The com mittee lins been practically In contin uous session since 5 o'clock yester day afternoon. It will probably re port to the convention after noon to day. It Is generally believed this morn ing that the Dubois delegates of Ida ho, will be continued on the roll, though a strong fight Is being made In the committee to compromise on a split vote. Leaders Die Hard. Throughout the night three lead ers, Col. Guffey of Pennsylvania. Rog er C. Sullivan of Illinois and Patrick McCarren of New York, fought hard for perpetuation of political power. The bitterness was Increased, partic ularly so In the cases of tho New York and Pennsylvania contingents. The real flsht started when the Illinois' contests were taken up. George MulllRan, representing the so-called "Bobby" Burke contestants, declared Sullivan had sent delegates to the national conventln whose election was "consummated through deceit and debauchery," and declared that Sul livan and his friends had wrecked the democratic party In Illinois, and that they were a party to a deal to defeat the party In the United States. Sullivan replied saying, the contest Is a "frameup" and demanded that his delegates be seated. "Sullivan Not a Democrat. Judge William Prentice replied to Sullivan, almost causing a riot. "Why, this man Is not a democrat," shouted Prentice. "I can refer you to no less an authority than Bryan a party man except for revenue. I want this committee, Just so long ns it permits this Individual to corrupt and debauch Illinois elections and Just so long as tin vote of that state shall be recorded In' favor of repub licans, to throw Sullivan to the dogs where he belongs, and we will again be able to pile up tho old time ma jority. Let us clean house and scourge the eorruptlonist Into tho open. The New York contests followed. Patrick McCarren denounced the dis trict leaders, who deserted him and Tammany In overthrowing him. lie Is Passed. , George Williams, chairman of the anti-McCarren organization In King county, created a sensation by stat ing: "If this man McCarren tells ; you that he will support Bryan when he goes homo from this convention he lies. Dort't forget this. De does not dare to say he will either vote or work for the party leader. , "Through the columns of his cho sen organ in Brooklyn he has an nounced that he will not derate Brjr- anlsm. This Judas betrayed the ('cm ocratlc party last election when hearst was running for th? governor ship." When Pennsylvania was reached, Charles Donnelly and Wm. Hrennan presented the side of the Guffey men. While J. Berwood Daly and L. Mc Whlston argued against. Several heated arguments ensued. The last contest taken up was that of the District of Columbia. The evi dence was the same as tha; heard Monday. The committee then went Into exec utive session to consider the contests. Dubois Men Scutcd. Murphy's Tammnny delegation was seated unanimously by the credentials committee. In the Pennsylvania contest the antl-Guffeyltes won. In Idaho tho Dubois delegation was Mated. In Ohio, the nlnteenth district, Tom Johnson's delegates won by two votes. In Illinois the Roger Sullivan dele gates won. The committee decided to Increase the number of delegates for Oklaho ma from 14 to 18, making the total vote of tho convention 1004, if the convention ratifies the committee's recommendntlon. the nomination the convention asked his presence he will go. FIRST CROP REPORT SHOWS GOOD YIELD. The first report of threshing to reach the grain dealers of the city Is that of the Dave Nelson farm, four miles northwest, where wheat is yield ing from 25 to 30 bushels per acre, an average crop. As this Is In the lighter land, the report of the crop Is especially gratifying and it Is be lieved that reports from other sections will show that a good wheat yield Is tn he enjoyed by Umatilla county farmers this year, despite the pessi mistic reports. Barley is yielding from 10 to 10 sacks per acre In the south part of the county, which is a fair crop, con sidering that no rain has fallen during the entire spring and summer.

Now that 'Bud" Barnes has been tried twice, found guilty and sentenced to be "hanged by the neck until dead," there Is a general curiosity as to the actual expense of the two cases. According to the cost bills the Jury fees for the first trial amounted to $530.80, and for the second trial to taled $482.30, making a grand total of $1013.10. Witness fees In the two cases came to exactly tne same amount, having been $460.70 for each trial, and making a total of $921.40. The witness fees and Jury fees togeth er with the bailiff's fees of $48 for the first trial and $24 for the second trial amounted to $2008.50. The cost bill for sheriff's fees has not yet been compiled, and no estimate of the expense attached to tho trial through the services of the sheriffs office has been made, though It Is thought that $250 or $200 will fully cover that -part of the expense, bring ing the grand total up to $2358 or $2358.

Denver, Colo., July 8. The report Is circulating that Bryan will come to this city, after, his nomination address Is made to the convention!" ' Aryan's friends express Ignorance concerning the rumor. The story goes thnt Bryan desires to end with this convention the tra ditional custom of a two-thirds ma jority for the presidential nomination and it is argued that only the legiti mate time to bring. up the matter Is after the nomination Is made. Rryan Denies Report. Lincoln, Neb., July 8. Bryan Is spending the day quietly. He denied the report that he Intends to address the convention. John T. Kent, his who declared Sullivan hat never been confidential man, said that if after n .1 f-, .....1 l,nl. - , . ,, . . u -"I MVII iiuiiinru iti.iiuiD uuu mill of whom Count Castellane Is the fath- li ..., teams next winter when the harvest hr;. been completed and fall seeding finished, to grade the line from here : Wallula. This was Informally placed before the farmers meeting at Its last session and met with no little favor. As compensation for this work the far mors will take stock In the company to be organized. Few hlnderances could be placed In the way of these plans as a right of way nnd franchise have ah-eady been secured for this purpose. All that now remains is simply the selection of mules and the best route over streams before the actual work grad ing the road could be commenced Hullo would be laid from Wallula this way nnd ties and materials could 1 n shipped in as the line Is laid. It is estimated that the grading and laying of the track can be accomplished in three months. Wealthy Men In Company. The company would be composed of the wealthiest men In the county who could place sufficient capital be hind the scheme to successfully carry it out. Power may. be secured from some company manufacturing it as It Is doubtful if the new corporation would have means to finance the building of an adequate power plant. The benefits to be derived from this enterprise can readily be seen, van a direct line from the Garden City to the. river and the steamboats now In contemplation of building, shipments of grain and fruit could be made di rect to Portland without an addition al bill of lading. Shipping rates would probably be reduced materially and the difficulties which are yearly becoming more pronounced in regard to transportation of crops will be largely alleviated. At present no definite plan of ac tion has been marked out but the promoters or me enterprise ciaun mm there Is little doubt of its eventual success. A joini meeting oi iariiiers and men interested In the project will probably be held within the next few days when some final steps are to be taken regarding the matter. ThouBh no action has yet been tak n by the council, it is the Intention f the police committe to reduce the size of the police force and after the first of the month the number of of ficers will bp lessened by at least one man. At present there are two day men Chief of Police Gurdane and Officer Sheer, while the night work Is done by Oficers John and Clarence Kear ney. It Is now the Intention to do with but ope day man In the future but t Is regarded as unsafe to reduce the number of night men at present. Since prohibition went Into effect here there has really been "little do lug" for the police. But one solitary drunk lias been taken, he being the man found at tho corner of Webb and Main streets the day after the cele bration at Walla Walla. Aside from that one man the police have made no arrests except In two Instances where men were found fighting. Since the first of July the city bastllc has been a deserted castle. Another effect of prohibition, and It is one that lessens police work, is found In the depopulation of the ten derloin. Since the first of the month one half or two thirds of the inmates of the red light district have left for parts distant. This fact, together with the passing of the drunks, has greatly lessened the troubles of the night officers, for In the past their hardest work grew out of troubles Incident to the ten derloin. Should the police force be reduced It will be up to Chief of Police Gur dane to select the men to remain. As all three of his deputies are "tried and trusty" men he will doubtless have difficulty In making a selection. At present the chief of police receives a salary of $110 per month, while the deputies receive $85 per month. The city recorder draws a salary of $85 per month and the city attorney $7B per month. Frauds! E. Leupp, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Leaves for Spokane After Week's Visit at Umatilla Agency Delighted With Progress of the Tribe and Commend Agent McFutrldge In Highest Terms WiU Visit All Northwest Tribes. A newspaper man who has made good in every position which he has occupied, is Francis E. Leupp, com missioner of Indian affairs, who has been at the Umatilla Indian agency, the guest of A. E. McFatrldge and family since July 4. Commissioner Leupp Is highly pleas ed with the manner In which the af fairs of the Umatilla reservation are being managed by Agent McFatrldge and to the East Oregonian expressed entire satisfaction with reservation conditions. Although there was no special cause for his visit to the Umatilla reservation at this time, yet Commis sioner Leupp went over conditions there and Investigated numerous mat ters of importance thoroughly and finds that the rules of the department are being faithfully and vigorously en forced by Agent McFatrldge, whom he praises highly as an official and as a citizen. The commissioner is a Roosevelt type of man and for 20 years before he was appointed commissioner of In dian affairs by President Roosevelt he was a vigorous and successful Journalist and magazine writer and stands high in that profession. Like the president, he Is a hard worker and enjoys his work and even takes a va cation while working energetically. His present trip to the northwest la for business and pleasure combin ed, as he will visit all the Indian res ervations in the northwest, look close ly Into conditions, hear complaints, investigate charges and at the same time enjoy a delightful outing. He Is capable of performing an enormous amount of labor and has a faculty of getting at the gist of a mat ter at a glance. In this way he is able to go over the affairs of a reservation rapidly and so far has been one of the most successful and progressive com missioners ever to administer the af fairs of the American Indians. He was delighted with the advance ment made by the Umatilla Indians and commended very highly the work of Agent McFatrldge In encouraging the more Intelligent to assume the re sponsibilities of citizenshlD as thev Mill Will Have Daily Capacity or 25jprove t0 be worthy and capable.
