Denver, Colo., July 8. 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.
Gore finished his peech In a few
words nnd the convention adjourned
til 8 o'clock tonight.
All Platform Precedents Broken.
Denver, Colo., July 8. 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.

COST OF BARNES TRIAL.
Wallii Walla County Must Pay $2358
for Murder Case.
Walla Walla, July 8. 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.

Rryan May Attend.
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

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
