BItYAN BOOM SET GOUTCr.

Democrats of All Factions Demand He Run for President in 1908. W. J. Bryan's boom for the presidential nomination of liMjS was launched in Brooklyn at a big meeting of Democrats from all parts of the country. The occasion was a dinner of the Brooklyn Democratic Ciub aad was, nominally, merely to do a courtesy to Bryan by matins him guest of honor. Except for the speech made by the Nebraskan himself, the oratory was devoted wholly io Bryan and the coming campaign, and even the chief guest of the evening had much to say concerning his position on the political horizon. Bryan did not begin to speak until 12 :15 a. m. Sjeeches in praise of Bryan were given by Gov. Warfield of Maryland, ex-Gov. .1. lloge Tyler of Tirinia, Edward M. Shepard. George Fret. Williams of Massachusetts. Ollie Jau.ef of Kentucky, George W. Tomlinpon i f Alabama, and others.

Murphy and a large num ber of Tammany leaders were there., There were also present twenty-one of the bolting Hearst leaders from New York. CROP OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT. Cereals in Europe Are Responding to Influences of Spring. The European crop rejort of the Department of Agriculture in Washington, covering conditions abroad up to April 1. says the heavy snow that fell last winter over the greater part of Europe has excepting in parts of Ilussia and of the Balkan States, almost everywhere disappeared. That the protection afforded to winter cereals has been pretty generally efficacious is being demonstrated by the vigor with which the plants in most countries seem to be responding to the quickening influences of spring. The report continues: "In western Europe the exceptionally cold winter has probably had no deleterious effect upon vegetation sufficient to affect general results at harvest. In central Europe growth generally is in a less advanced state and knowledge of actual conditions less positive: the winter wheat crop of Germany is known to Lave suffered to a quite appreciable extent and recent news vaguely indicates damage to the autumn-sown crops of Austria and Hungary." HOUSES FLOAT IU BIG FLOOD. Glasgow, Mont., Isolated by WaterHundreds of Cattle Perish. Advices state that Glasgow, Mont., is completely cut off from the outside world by the flood of the Milk river, except byboat.

Great Northern passenger trains were pushed through three feet of water in some localities. Freight traffic is practically at a standstill, and it ia only with the greatest effort that the company is able to move its passenger trains. Meager advices from the ontlying sections, tell of many ranch families being compelled to abandon their homes and seek safety on higher ground. There are also reports of loss of life. KARGE! TRADING IS GAMBLING. Judge Throws Case Out of Court on Suit to Recover from Brokers. Holding that the buying and selling of stocks and bonds on margins constitutes a gambling transaction.

MANY AUTOS

TWO LARGE GARAGES IN ST. LOUIS ARE DECTROYED. i:IIioH ft (invillnc Slnrl Kir ami CauftPH Km Itr.nld Spread Catfle Dealer, ltollol and M I f rented, Los- Fee f. An explosion of g;iso!:ne caused a fire, in the garage cf the .Mississippi Valley Automobil i'ornjütiy. at Yandevcnter and Olive streets, St. Louis. The names extended across the street to the Central Automobil I-'xi-hange parage, destroying both luiMings nnd about 1(H) automobiles, and causing a loss estimated at J5225.000. The fire was spectacular. The explosion of a tank of gasoline threw the burning liquid in every direction and isnited the Mississippi garage so quickly that it was- r. roaring furnace before the Irrem'en could resih it. A series of explosions followed and every window in th nrightiorhood was broken. People living in the vicinity deserted their homes as it was believed that hundreds of gallons of gasoline wer- stored in the garage. It is reported that an employe of the Mississippi garage wus burned to death. HEAVY SNOW COVERS THE WEST Fall Six Inches Deep in South Dakota and Extends to Kansas. Snow six inches deep in parts of South Dakota. Nebraska and Wyoming, rml growing lighter farther south, overspread the West Thursday as far south as part of Kansas. The temperature, however, was mild, and little harm to fruit or other crops is anticipated. In parts of South Dakota and northern Nel raska the storm was one of the. heaviest of the winter. At Omaha five inches of snow fell, but at Lincoln only two inches. Sioux City and Ies Moines. Iowa, reported a fall of two inches. At St. Jos i.h, Mo., there was a fall of considerrMe proportions, and Kansas City reported a light fall. In the mountains of Colorado a blizzard raged all day and in the valley t'iere was a drop in temperatare which.' it is feared, will do much l.:irm to fruit and grain. LOSES FEET AFTER HOLDUP. Cattle Dealer Says He Was Sandbagged; Wandered About Dazed An ojH'ration was performed upon a man giving his name rf Krieger at the Owatonna hospital in Owatonna, Minn., and both feet were amputated. Krieger was brought to the' hospital some time ago by jr.rtics who found him wand ring about in a dized aud half-dead condition, lie says he is a cattle buyer; that he took a c:ir load of cattle from some point to Austin and upon alighting from tiio train at Austin was seized by highwaymen.

F.0UT3 THUGS AND SAVES $4,003 Plucky Man Eescueä Workmen's Pay. Though Life 13 Threatened. Rot for the bravery of Benjamin FinI:el, proprietor of an umbreih. factory at L'nionport, N. Y., 200 workmen would not have drawn their pay Wednesday. Mr. Kinkel drew from t he Lank over $1,000 in saall bills, and had distributed the money in 200 envelopes. The factory was buzzing with activity when at 3 p. m. three men entered the paymaster's ofli'-e, which is separated from the workshops. Mr.'Finkeh was alone behind a desk near the box containing the envelopes. He looked up to see three strangers, one of whom was covering him with a pistol. They demanded the money, but Finkel dropped the box on the floor and grappled with two of the men. at the same time calling for help. The thugs managed to escaie, but two suspicious characters were arrested later. FOUR CHARGED WITH MURDER Warrants for Arrest of Mother and Three Children Being Prepared. Affidavits were filed in Magistrate IIoIderman's court in Iayton, Ohio, charging Mrs. Leah C.

GRAFT IN 'FRISCO. XInnicIpal P.otteniiess of California Cltj- Forma IllaeU Not since tbe famous trial of Ross Tweed, and his ring of boodlers in New York, In the early seventies, has there been such a remarkable prosecution of political boodlers as In Sau Francisco now, according to reports frrai tbe Golden Gate City. Those who take an extreme religious !ew of mundane conditions are saying that San Francisco was destroyed because the Almighty could not long suffer its sinful state. America Is not unfamiliar Svlth municipal rottenness, but, according to a San Francisco cor-

1

h,Ä' Vi AMI A HAM KEUF. respondent, there is no other page in the history of boodle so black, as that which Prosecuting Attorney Ileney has unfolded. Graft in the Golden Gate City has been wholesale, limited by nothing; it lias included anything and everything out of which a dol lar could be squeezed. The grafters overlooked nothing, spared nothing, ap parently feared nothing. From street vendor to millionaire, frucn d!vekeoper to corporation official, from the brothel to the brownstone front there lay the course? of- graft. Nothing was too little to be excepted as tribute. When Ileney started on the trail of oorruptlon the first men to Ikj Indicted were Schmitz and Reuf. Next came Chief of Police Dinan. and others who JfryAU PuE&r Pp.WOK .-,. - VVW:: FORMER ' HOME OF SCHMITZ have been indicted Include two of the city's wealthy, capitalists and sixteen supervisors. The inquisitors are not through, either. On an income of $0.000 a year Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz has been able to live like a millionaire. He has furnished a $r0,000 miniature palace with furniture, art treasures and draperies valued at more than the cost price of the building he now calls home. Then he has a $7,500 automobile fit for his Majesty King Edward VII. He has butlers and valets and chambermaids and chauffeurs and other menials to come and go at his beck and call. And all on $G,000 a year. Then there was that trip to Europe. It cost something. Besides spending $131,000 witn only a risible $40,500 going, he still has money in the banks, a few bundles of negotiable securities and a little bunch of real estate that would trouble a working man to pay taxes on. The wonder is, "Where did it all come from?" San Francisco's grand Jury Is trying to uncover the answer. Rudolph Spreckles, who is backing the prosecution In the graft investigation at Saa Francisco with his fortune, has guaranteed a fund of $100,000, or more if necessary, and contributions to this fund from other citizens are being received dally. Heart Movement Photographed. A report from London states tlmt scientists have succeeded, by the combined use of the X rays and cinematograph, in taking photographs of the actual movements of the internal organs, like the heart and lungs, and these movements cap be reproduced on a screen after the manner of moving pictures. Medical men believe that this will prove of great value in diagnosing doubtful cases of lung and heart disease. Catholic Hierarchy Meet. The Catholic archbishops of the United States held their annual meeting at Washington in the new $100,000 mansion presented by them to Mgr. Falconio, the papal delegate. A request from New York to erect a Catholic hall at Cornell was denied, as it w-as deemed necessary to concentrate all efforts in developing the Catholic university by affiliating with Catholic colleges and high schools. Gov. Campbell of Texas signed the bill rassed by the Legislature forbidding the operation of bucket rhops or cotton exchanges for the sale of futures In Texas. By means of the most rigorous measures on the part of the government, with the whole military force scouring the country and shooting on sight persons suspected of connection with the peasant riots, Roumania has been able to resume an outward appearance of order again. The general strike was opposed in principle almost unanimously by the congress of French independent socialists at Lyons. Also a resolution was adopted condemning all methods which could only bring reprisals. The congress sustained the policy of international co-operation of workingmen to offset the international combinations of capital.

DEATH TRAIL GROWS.

Mextenn HnrthqaaLe Knonn to Have . nr-t-le:l "Wlile- Territory. Late news from the area of destruction in the recent Mexican earthquake shows that the devastation wrought was greater than at first supposed. Besides the destruction of the cities of Chilpancingo and Chilapa it is now reported that the city of Tixtla, between the two cities above named and containing nbout the same population as Chilpancingo, was also leveled to the ground, and messengers from the coast who have reached Chilpancingo say that the towns of Ayutla and Ometepec have been wiped off the map. Ayutla is one of the most historic towns in the republic. Ometepec is farther south, near ' the Irundary line of the States of Fuerrero and Oaxaca. It is a town of about 4.000 inhabitants and it in feared that the loss of life here may be heavier than at Ajutla. Tlapa, a town eighty miles west of Chilpancingo and near the border line of the State of Oaxaca, is also reported to have been wiped out. The report from Chilpancingo says that the whole of the west coast from Acapulco south to Salina Cruz, the Pacific terminal of the Tehuantpec National railway, Mexico's new transcontinental road, which was opened with elaborate ceremonies last January by President Diaz, has been ladly dam8ed. It is reported that Acapulco is partly submerged from the great waves which dayhed over th? breakwaters. Although no breath of wind was stirring on the night of the first shock, when the earth began to tremble, the sea was lashed into a fury nnd as the shocks continued the harbor ;ok on the apper.rance of a typhoon-swept ocean. Devastation wrought by the earthquakes is much greater than at first reported. Many more than 500 are believed to be dead. . Jieports summarize the damage as follows: City. Population. Damage. Lives lost. Chilpancingo... S.000 In ruins.. 38 Chüapa 4,ho in ruins.. 14 Tlxtla 7.000 Destroyed. -12 Ayutla Small Destroyed. Unknown Ometepec 4,noo Destroyed. Unknown Tlap.i r.iKo Destroyed. Unknown Acapuko 0,000 Partly submerged. .Unknown Hypnotic Treatment a Sacee. Dr. John D. Quackenbos, specialist in nervous and mental diseases, hypnotist ind student of psychic phenomena, recently made public the details of a series of interesting experiments which he has been conducting on wayward girls from the New Jersey home for girls at Trenton. . The patient is first put into a sleep induced bv talking in a monotone. This '- " ' AND HIS PRESENT RESIDENCE. droning serves the double purpose of bringing on the hypnotic state and at the same time making the patient feel at ease, and that there is to be no scolding or cross-examination, the subject of conversation being auch as to soothe the person under treatment nnd turn her thoughts toward cheerful matters. As soon as the hypnotic slumber ensues certain admonitions are given to the sleeper ins sharper, more decided tone, assuring her that definite changes will take place in ber disIosition that wll make her better and happier, care being taken to first ascer-' taiu the particular bent of mind or talent, if any exists, so that her energies can be directed along the lines of, natural fitness. This discourse m repeated several times. , The good effect,' the doctor 'says, is immediate, and usually lasting, although there are occasional lapses. In such cases, however, the second treatment is apt to, be more effective and permanent in its results than the first. It is not claimed that it will heal a physical lesion. All that Dr. Quackenbos claims is that by suggestion in hypnosis one can make a man do anything physically possible and morally right. It brings about, he says, a physiological as well as .a psychological change of being. He contends that there is in" every person what Prof. James calls the "higher' spiritual self," and St. Paul denominates th "inner man," which, when aroused by suggestion, is stronger than any passion or appetite. Brief tCews Item. Fire destroyed the Moore cotton mills and gin at Mangum, Okla., with 2,000 bales of unginned cotton. Loss $150,000, The nine men who were on coal barge No. 1, which Wi.s lost in a storm off the Florida coast, while being towed by the naval collier Ca-sar, have been landed at Galveston. . President F. D. P. Glass announced at Montgomery, Ala., that the fifth annual meeting of the Newspapers and Publishers' Association will he held in Richmond on May 21 and 22. The probating of the will of the late Francis P. Furnald disclosed the bequest of 5300,000 to Columbia university, upon the death of the widow, for the purpose of erecting a dormitory to be known as Furnald Hall. Also the Presbyterian hospital and other charities will receive $200.000. Former Congressman Calusha A. Grow, who lately died at his home in Glenwood, Pa., had a. public service in the House, although not a continuous one, longer than that of any man who ever sat in that body. In 1S01 he came within one vote of the nomination for the vice presidency in plao of Andrew Johnson. Rriven from place to place by prohibitive orders, the anarchists of Germany have at last managed to hold their congress In the open fields near Mannheim. They had previously tried to hold their meeting in a hall at that place, but all the delegates were put under arrest and their pedigrees taken. After their release they managed to evade the police and get together in the open fields across the river. The congress resolved to form a national organization, with groups in each State and headquarters in Berlin. The Nebraska Legislature passed a bill providing for the taxation of terminals of railroads in the cities, in addition to Üm regular mileage assessments.

CHICAGO. Industrial conditions generally maintain an encouraging tone. Less hesitancy appears iu manufacturing commitments, and renewed heavy buying orders for furnace and finished product make a notable Addition 'to the unprecedented accumulation of forward work. Many plants under unusual pressure upon ca pacity fail to catch up on contracts, which are behind the time of promised delivery, and, with an iniprovii.g supply of cars, distribution maintains an exceptionally large aggregate. The low temperature halted a seasonable activity in the leading retail branches. The latter temporary drawback I more than offset by the presence of many outside merchants who place substantial orders in wholesale lines, and selections for fall delivery already make a good exhibit in the principal staples. Farm advices show spring work now well advanced and considerable improvement work to be done, which involves much buying of materials and literal outlays. More headway is made in adjusting demand for higher wages, and the building trades have the assurance of a very active season, the number of new permits comparing favorably with thoe of a year ago. Bank deiosits rie slowly, but the money market is easier and mercantile collections in the West cause a gratifying impression wiih their promptness and continued light failures. Failures reported in the Chicago district number 17. against 11 last week and 25 a year ago. Dun's Review. NEW YOItK. ( Continued cold weather throughout the country delays crop preparation and development, injures fruits, vegetables and cotton, and dull retail trade. Coincident ly; orders from and collections by jobbers and wholesaler arc affected, but these kiter branches of trade feel this relatively lev than in other years, because they are still very generally pushed to complete deliveries on earlier orders. Excluding New York, building is still very active in excess of a year ago, in fact and building materials nnd hardware are in dmand. Labor i well employed, strikes nre few and wage advance? ar nurnerous, hut new on.truction work is reported slowing down and a more plentiful supply of unskilled labor at lower prices is indicated.

Fielder Jones; manager of the Chicago White Sox, sjfys of this year's American League pennant race: "I believe the team that wins the pennant this year will hare to make the hardest fight ever known in baseball.
