PENNSYLVANIA IS FIRST
TO REACH HALL CALIFORNIA
DELEGATES LEG BY JOHNSON
Senator Dixon Called Convention to Order at 1, O'clock and

Thrown Out, and the "Lily White Delegation From Miss

Chicago, Aug. 5. Only a small
crowd stood outside the Coliseum this
morning when the convention hall
doors were thrown open. At one end
of the hall hung a magnificent speci
men of a hull moose, by which the
name of the party Is frequently called.
At the other end waB a huge picture
of Colonel Roosevelt.
Before the delegates assembled the
New York delegation held a caucus
and adopted resolutions declaring that
no person should be nominated for ex
ecutlve or legislative offices In New
Vni-l, unload o no-nlnrlv anrnllnri
progressive. An attempt to amend
the resolution by including the Judic
iary was defeated by a vote of 82 to
23.
Timothy U Woodruff, chairman of.
the delegation, and others said that
tha Judlalary "as viidtted beuiuse"' o.
certain districts "fussion might be hec
essary." The debate on the proposi
tion was marked by extreme bitter
ness. At exactly 11:40 o'clock the Pen
nsylvania delegation marched into the
hall, being the firBt delegation to ar
rive. The Penusylvanlans were fol
lowed by the delegates from Oregon,
Maryland and Kentucky, who entered
Dinging campaign songs. All the del
SENATORS
DEFEATED
ALBANYS
Ten to five. That Is the score by
which the Senators defeated the Al
bany team on the local diamond Sun
day. Play was called by Jlmmle
Richardson, as umpire, promptly at 3
o'clock. The game was attended by
a large crowd, lu anticipation of Bee
lng one of the fastest games of the
season, but such did not prove to be
the case. It was, however, as good
as the ordinary, but lost Its Interest
in the fore part, owing to the failure
of the Albany team to hold down our
boys. The last half of the game was
more Interesting, and, but for a bunch
of errors on the part of the Senators
in the eighth Inning, It would have
wpn a complete shutout for Albany.
All of Albany's scores were made in
the eighth Inning.
Jones, for the locals, made the sen
sational hit of the game, when, in the
first Inning, he smashed one over the
fence for a home run. The Albany
team played good ball, but was clear
ly outclassed by our players. While
Pitcher Baker was not up to his usu
al strong standard, he held the visi
tors down to a small number of hits.
The support of the visiting team was
not goad, and we are safe In saying
that, had it been as good as the bat
tery the score would have been much
closer. Patterson, behind the bat,
fills the position very acceptably, and
Dooly, on third base, did some good
work for the visitors. In the eighth
Inning Emerlck succeeded Keene as
shortstop. Both did good work in that
position. The shortstop for Albany
played a poor game, but tho third
baseman made up for his defects.
There was a large crowd In attend
ance, a small portion of whom were
from Albany, but the enthusiasm did
not run very high among the fans, on
account of the one-sldedness of the
game.

Ohio delegation arrived and announ

headed by former Secretary of the
Interior, James R. Garfield, for gov
ernor. The California delegation, led by
Governor Johnson, and carrying yel

All the seats on the floor and In the

Two hundred and thirty two wo

years, marched Into the hall from the

Sixteen woiiinn wearing caps beaded

It is not known just how many wo

The E. M. Walte Memorial fountain

I tered the art of manipulating the ma
jchinery of the fountain so that he Is
'able In the comparatively short time
I lie has been practicing to give the
i'very best effects possible to the dl
I plays. Many were In attendance and
all were charmed by the wonderful
I effects produced. To one unfamiliar
i with the working of the fountain such
I a sight Is miraculous. Many people
i think that the colors produced are
from coloring the water, wheretfB as a
, matter of fact the different shades and
colors are produced by colored lenes
through which powerful electric lights
throw the reflection high la the air.
Mr. C. L. McNary, acting for the
estate of E. M. Walte, tho donors of
the magnificent sparkler, will appear
before the city council tonight and
make a formal donation of the foun
tain to the city and It is likely that
Immediately after it will be accepted
on behalf of the city, after which a
schedule for running It will be mapped
out. The fountain did not run Sunday
night, much to the disappointment of
the large crowd.

Mind to Pay the Money
Over, Though Attorney-General
Advises Against It.
A QUESTION OF LAW ONLY
The Case Is Peculiar, in That the
Jiormul School tld Sot Bring n
How Suit After Decision of Su
preme Court Holding U. of 0.
Suits Were Improperly Bronght
And Monmouth Stands on Suite's
Failure to Appeal.
After conferring with Assistant At
testant Attorney-General Van Winkle
yesterday Secretary of State Olcott do-
cided to not refer a bill making a $50,-
000 appropriation for the Monmouth
Normal school to the people but to
make it available and there will be no
need of the school to bring proceed
ings of any kind with regard to the
subject.
After the University of Oregon In
stituted suits to restrain the secretary
of state from referring to the people
two bills making appropriations for it,
the Monmouth Normal school also be
gan suit. The allegations In both
were that the petitions were fraudu
lent. The university won in the cir
cuit court twice, but upon the state
appealing to the supreme court the
decision of the lower court was each
time reversed and these bills must go
to a vote of the people.
The Monmouth Normal school case
in the meantime was ponding a final
decision in the Oregon university case
and it was understood that It would be
guided by it. When the supreme court
reversed the Oregon university case
on the ground that a private citizen
could not Institute injunction pro
ceedings against the state the Mon
mouth Normal school did not bring
a new suit to comply with the decision.
Wher however, the time for appeal
had passed tho luemberB of the board
Insisted that the judgment of the cir
cuit had becomo final despite this de
cision. They asked the secretary of
state to pay the appropriation but the
attorney-general contended the Judg
ment was void because of being con
trary to the supreme court decision
In' tho Oregon university caso, and
advised hi in not to do so. Lately the
board has been threatening to bring
mandamus proceedings against the
secretary of stale, but had doclded to
wait until Governor West returned.
Olcott after a conference with the as
sistant attorney-general, who looks at
the subject differently from the attorney-general,
made up his mind to
forestall such proceedings by an
nouncing he would pay the appropria
tion. Train Kills ( helm Us Hoy.
