States He Will Take No More . Dictation From Nebraskan ; As to Denver Convention

; Plans, v BACKED BY OTHER NA- . TIONAL COMMITTEEMEN. Johnson Followers Have Tak"en New Life and It is De- . dared Bryan Will Have a Hard Fight. Denver, Colo., June 27. National iChairman Thomas Taggart and five -other members of the Democratic national committee came to the parting fcf the ways with W. J. Bryan last inlght and declared they would take no more dictation from him as to contention plans. Straightway the Johnson people wired from Minnesota, engaging six additional rooms at their headquarters. The direct issue is over Bryan's desire to have Theodore Bell of California, as temporary chairman. Sensationalists here go so far as to assert that the breach will widen to such an extent that Bryan will fall to get the presidential nomination. From the aspect of a peace conference the preconventlon situation has suddenly taken on the appearance of unreienting war, anything may now develop in the final results of the coming convention. There are five members of the subi committee who are practically on the 1 firing line all disposed to fight any program which Mr. Bryan may dictate. The five are: f Thomas Taggart, chairman of the national committee. Roger C. Sullivan of Illinois. John T. McGraw of West Virginia. Clarke Howell of Georgia. Col. R. M. Johnson of Texas. This makes five of nine, and if a sixth were needed Urey Woodson, of (Kentucky, secretary of the national (committee, fills the quota. I The failure of James C. Dahlman, mayor of Omaha, and national comimitteeman from Nebraska, to arrive I in Denver with the "papers," which were the basis of the tentative agreement between Bryan and the anti1 Bryan element, as indicated by the .statements which Norman E. Mack of New York made after he came in from iLincoln, lies at the bottom of the sud- ' den and sensational shift in the current of affairs. ; The real reason for the surprising ! stand which the "conservative" leaders have taken, rests as stated upon the insistence of Bryan that Theodore E. Bell of California shall be the temporary chairman and, indeed, it is declared from authoritative sources, that Bell has been apprised by Bryan that lie Is the chosen one and has prepared ihis speech, as per the advices from J Lincoln. Insist on Bell. It is one of the assured facts that Bell will not be the temporary chair'man unless the convention follows the precedent set at Kansas City in 1900, :when David B. Hill was turned down, land chooses Bell for the temporary chairmanship against the candidate whom Chairman Taggart will present to the national committee. Who the temporary chairman to be , chosen by the sub-committee at 4 o'clock this afternoon is still an Uncertainty. It is undoubtedly true that no agreement has been reached, end It is equally true that no more adVice will be taken from Lincoln. " The sensationalists here see prospect for a complete throw down of the Bry.fin program, which may reach as far as the failure of Bryan to be nominated, ! Under any circumstances the harmoiny program went shooting skyward last night, and what Bryan now gets from the convention will be his because he fought and won. , The Johnson men here nave suddenfly and excitedly taken fresh hope. They now assert that Bryan can not win on the first ballot by a two-thirds vote, and that Johnson's nomination Is assured on the third ballot. In this respect last night's developments lie along the line of the forecasts which went out from time to time from the Johnson headquarters in Chicago. Nevertheless the Johnson enthusiasts have changed their tune from a requiem and a story of what might have been to a budding and joyous pean of what may happen. It may be thorough going "bunk" so far as the Infusion of life into the Johnson boom is concerned, but as to the relations now existing between the leaders who will have complete control of the early convention details, and who have large gobs of votes to deliver at the critical moment, and W. J. Bryan, the case is clear, and the odds are thoroughly against Bryan Bryan Forces Stirred. The Bryan forces are stirred to the depth by the radical change in the situation. Mr. Bryan is said to be personally directing the battle from his ;nd of the wire, but the Denver conjnection has been switched from the (Continued on Page Four.)

STILL ANOTHER DAIRY CONDEMNED BT INSPECTOR

Work of John Owens, State Officer, Is Revealing Bad Conditions That Have Existed Unmolested. JAMES L. HORNING LATEST TO SUFFER. 0. L. Daily Had Large Amount Of Milk Dumped, But His Dairy Is Graded Fair Others Escape. This morning, John Owens, state food and drug inspector, condemned another dairy, that of James L. Horning, and yesterday he held up O. L. Daily, a well known dairyman, enroute to town and after Inspecting his product, gave . him the choice of dumping it in the road or being prosecuted for violating the pure food laws. Daily chose the former course, depositing in a trench the contents of 24 containers. Mr. Owens states that fifty per cent of the milk found in Daily's wagon was full of dirt Mr. Owens brought two bottles of milk containing dead flies and refuse as evidence to be used against Daily if necessary. This morning Mr. Owens and City Inspector Hoover inspected the Daily dairy and graded it fair. Daily must provide a milk house and a cooler and he must cease placing his milk in barrels to cool, and allowing refuse to collect about the barn. . It will be possible for Daily to improve conditions without muclf delay. The Horning dairy, Mr. Owens states, was in the worst condition of any that he has inspected. Horning sells fifty gallons to John Thompson. After seeing the condition the dairy was in, Mr. Owens condemned it on the spot Last March Inspector Cohen visited this dairy and Horning at that time promised to place it in good condition, but he failed to do so. In the front of the cow stalls is a ditch filled with water, manure and refuse, and the odor which arises from it is almost unbearable. The barn is in bad repair. "No one naving knowledge of this condition of this dairy would use the milk produced there," remarked Mr. Owens. This morning it was reported to Inspector Owens that the Raper Brothers dairy, condemned yesterday, was selling milk in the city. If this report is verified, Mr. Owens will prosecute them. After the dairy was condemned Mr. Owens told them that they could take their cows to the dairy of Frank liaper providing that they would make necessary improvements at that dairy. The Raper Brothers promised to let Mr. Owens know yesterday afternoon whether or not they would accept these conditions. They neglected' to do so, but they removed their cows to the Frank Raper dairy. Mr. Owen stated today that the method employed by the majority of local milkmen in carrying milk from their wagons into houses in open containers must cease. This exposes the milk to all kinds of flying refuse. Yesterday afternoon he visited three dairies. That of W. H. Hartman he graded fair. ,A few improvements are necessary. The J. F. Bullerdlck dairy was graded fair. He must remove refuse. The dairy of J. H. Nolte was graded fair. A few Improvements are necessary.

SERVICES WERE SIMPLE ' BUT VERY IMPRESSIVE.

Funeral Was Attended by Men Prominent the World Over Monument to Dead Is Now Proposed. Princeton, N. J., June 27. Grover Cleveland's body lies buried in the Cleveland plot in Princeton cemetery. At G o'clock yesterday, just as the sun was sinking in the west, a distinguished company silently watched the body lowered into the grave. Then the simple burial service of the Presbyterian church was read, and before the last of the carriages in the cortege had driven up to the path leading to the burial place, the benediction had been pronounced and the members of the family, President Roosevelt and others who had gathered about the grave, were leaving the cemetery. Many of the personal friends of the dead statesman lingered about the spot which was to mark his last resting place and each in turn was permitted to cast a shovelful of earth into the grave. Services Exceedingly Simple. Agreeable to the wishes of Mrs. Cleveland, the services both at the house and at the cemetery were of the simplest character. An invocation, scriptural reading, a brief prayer and the reading of William Wordsworth poem, "Character of the Happy Warrior," constituted the services at the house, while the reading of the burial service at the grave was brief and impressive. Although the funeral was of a strictly private nature, those in attendance numbered many distinguished citizens, including President Roosevelt Gov. Fort of New Jersey, Gov. Hughes of New York, Gov. Hoke Smith of Georgia, former members of President Cleveland's cabinet, officials of the Equitable-Life Assurance society, members of the Princeton university faculty, and friends and neighbors. Invocation by Princeton Pastor. The services began with an invocation by the Rev. Ssivester W. Beach, of the First Presbyterian church of Princeton, which was followed by scriptural reading by the Rev. Maitland V. Bartlett, of the West Farms Presbyterian church, of New York, a former pastor of Mr. Cleveland, who read from the fourteenth chapter of the book of John and a number of passages from the fourth and twentysecond chapters of the Thessalonians. In closing Dr. Bartlett read from the book of Revelation as follows: And they shall see his face and his name shall be in their foreheads: they fchall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light upon them nor any heat for the lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and God shall wipe all tears from their eyes. Dr. Henry Van Dyke then said that "According to the request of one whose slightest wish at this moment we all respect, there will be no address or sermon, but there was a poem written more than 100 years ago by William Wordsworth, which is expressive of his character." He then read the poem, "Character of the Happy Warrior. Guardsmen Line Streets. The services were concluded at 5:30 o'clock, and five minutes later the casket had been tenderly carried to the hearse and the procession started on its way to the cemetery. Along the streets from the house to the cemetery national guardsmen, mounted and cn foot, policed the way. As President Roosevelt passed through the gate leading from the Westland grounds, the militiamen presented arms and the president doffed his hat in recognition. The pall bearers, six on either side of the hearse, marched with the procession as It wended its way slowly down Bayard lane to Nassau street, and on along the main thoroughfare of the town. Business had been suspended during the afternoon and curtains were drawn in many of the houses. The silent crowd stood with bared heads as the procession passed along into Vandeventer avenue and the bell in the tower of Old Nassau hall tolled mournfully. The route led over Wiggins street to the cemetery, which was reached a few minutes before 6 o'clock. Mourning Group at Interment The members of the family alighted from their carriages and, with the four clergymen in the lead, walked slowly down the graveled path leading to the open grave, and the rose strewn grave of Ruth, both almost hid- ( Continued on Paw TwoV

BRYAN CONSIDERS PLANKS ON WHICH HE WILL ST Revision of the Tariff Is One Of Strongest, and State's Rights Plank Is Consid ered. PUBLICITY OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS TO BE ADVOCATED. Labor, Panama Canal, Currency, Conservation of Resources and Others to Be Touched On. Lincoln, Neb., June 27. William J. Bryan is busily engaged in considering the following planks for the democratic platform: Tariff Revision This plank will advocate uncompromisingly a revision downward, based on a revenue and protection principle combined, but not so emphasising the protecting principle as to foster a monopoly or a special privilege. This revision shall be immediately. Anti-Trust Law There will be a plank Insisting upon the application of the criminal statutes to trusts violating the anti-trust laws, together with such additional legislation as will destroy all private monopoly. There will be a demand for the nonduplication of directors in corporations, for a federal license which shall not interfere with states rights, but which, at the same time shall protect the public from watered stock and prohibit a monopoly of any product consumed In the United States; and third, a law compelling such licensed corporations to sell to all consumers In the United States on the same basis, allowing only for the difference in the cost of the transportation. Should Enlarge Powers. The Interstate Commerce A reassertion of the right of congress to control interstate commerce under the commerce clauses or the constitution, and a demand for an enlargement of the powers or the Interstate commerce commission to protect the public against all forms of extortion and discrimination. The physical valuation of all railroads will be demanded as a basis for rate making and for the issuing of further securities upon them, said valuation to be based upon the cost of the reproduction of the road at present prices. Also, enforcement of the commodity clause in the Hepburn law, prohibiting 1 railroads from engaging In any other business than transportation will be demanded and a reduction of railroad rates to that point where the net income will pay the interest charges, including dividends and keep the securities at par. , Government ownership, if mentioned at all, will be subordinated so as to make It the last resource should government regulation fail. Campaign Funds A plank which will unqualifiedly put the democratic party on record as favoring publicity for campaign fund contributions. State Rights A recognition of the rights of the states as to their police powers and a demand that foreign corporations shall submit their legal disputes to the courts of the states in which they do business, thus placing them on the same footing as domestic corporations. Direct Vote A strong plank advocating the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. Income Tax Urging the submission of a-constitutional amendment specifically authorizing Congress to levy and collect a tax upon incomes to the end (Continued on Page Four.) THE WEATHER PROPHET.

WM. H. TAFT. During the recent Harvard and Yale boat races at New London, Conn., Taft's alma mater was defeated by the Cambridge lads. Taft's good humor prevailed however, and at many times during the race, he seemed to see something really funny and smiled broadly. The picture is a snapshot taken at the races. The smile is characteristic of him.

DRANK CARBOLIC ACID AND LIVES Colored Woman Takes Enough To Kill an Ordinary Person. SHE SUFFERS HORRIBLY. LAY AT HER HOME ALMOST IN DEATH AGONY OVER AN HOUR BEFORE MEDICAL ATTENTION IS SOUGHT FOR. Mrs. Wallace Williams, colored, living on Greenwood avenue, took one ounce of carbolic acid yesterday morning about 10:30 o'clock and is still living. Her attending physician states that she will entirely recover from the effects of the deadly poison. One ounce of carbolic acid is in most cases enough to cause almost instant death. Not only did Mrs, Williams swallow this amount, but she was not given medical assistance for nearly one hour and a half after she had taken the poison. Her physician states that the woman has an almost abnormal constitution. When he found her she was apparently In her death agony, but after he had applied heroic treatment, she responded rapidly to the effects of this treatment and today is resting fairly easy. Mrs. Williams took the poison In the presence of , her four young children. She swallowed the deadly dose and they watched her terrible sufferings until the father returned home from his work at noon. The children were so badly frightened from witnessing their mother's suffering that they . did not have the presence of mind to summon medical assistance. As soon as Williams returned home he at once summoned a physician, but he thought that his wife would die before medical treatment could be administered to her. It is not stated what the exact provocation for the woman's act was, but it is said that she swallowed the poison arter brooding over a violent quarrel she had had with her husband early in the morning. VOTING MACHINE GIVEN A TEST County Commissioners Consider Use of Machines.

Republicans Will Hear Some

Of the Biggest Men in the Party Before November Election. DEMOCRATS WILL ALSO BE IN THE FIELD. William Jennings Bryan Will Be The Chief Attraction But j He Will Be Ably Assisted by' Prominent Politicians. Indianapolis, lnd., June 27. Cam- i paign orators of national repute will make the welkin ring in Indiana this year. Hoosiers In every section of Indiana will have an opportunity to en-' joy the feast of eloquence. Following t is an authoritative list of orators who are coming to Indiana to speak for the republican cause: James S. Sherman of New York, nominee for vice president. Speaker Cannon of Illinois.

Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan. Representative Halmlton of Michigan. Representative Gardner of Mlchl-' gan. Representative Fordney of Michigan. Representative Dalzell of Pennsylvania, i , To this list of renowned expounders of the republican gospel may be added President Roosevelt and Governor Deneen of Illinois. It Is considered alto-; gether probable that If the president1 should decide to make a swing around the circle In behalf of his friend, Mr. Taft, he will deliver at least one speech in Indiana.'' The managers of the republican state campaign believe ' he will be heard in Indiana, although ' they have no definite information on the Bubject. A movement is now on ' foot looking to the delivery of some ; speeches In Indiana by Governor Deneen. Illinois wants Representative Watson for a date or two, and. if he j finds time to yield to the call. Cover-' nor Deneen will reciprocate by coming to Indiana. Sherman a Convincer. The orators named as being certainly booked for the Indiana contest make up a notable list Mr. Sherman j. the candidate for vice president, Is not personally known In Indiana, except by I a limited number of people. There are ' more brilliant orators In congress, but none more convincing. He has a rare sense of humor, and occasionally In-1 terjects a funny poem or an anecdote in his discourse. Speaker Cannon has 'been seen in action on the stump In Indiana manyj times. His style is unique, and his powerful left arm gestures make a deep Impression on all. He will make ' six or seven speeches In Indiana. Ex-Secretary Shaw also has stump-' ed the state of Indiana many times and he has always been favorably re-' celved. Representative Burton will come to Indiana as a stranger, known only by the reputation he has achieved. He Is one of the most able, dignified and scholarly men In public life. Senator-elect Bradley, who will be much In evidence on the stump. In Indiana, has the distinction of being the only republican United States senator south of Mason and Dixon's line. As a fighter and as an effective, rousing! campaign speaker he has few equals. Senator Foraker and Senator Dol liver are among the most able speakers In the senate. Senator Dolliver's -father was a West Virginian minister who officiated at camp meetings, and the senator has the paternal gift of oratory. He has a powerful voice that will carry to the farthermost recesses of any halL Senator La Follette has spoken many times before Indiana chautauquas, but has seldom. If ever, appeared In the role of a political speech-, maker in Indians Newsboy to Senator. Senator Smith of Michigan is one of the youngest members of the highest lawmaking body. He was graduated Into the senate from the house, where he achieved a considerable reputation. He got his first start as a newsboy on the streets of Grand Rapids. He is a vigorous and attractive speaker. Representative Gardner is a veteran of the civil war and a minister. He stands high In the estimation of all who know him. Representative Fordney made the speech at Chicago seconding the nomination of Joseph G. Cannon for the presidency. Although Michigan was overwhelmingly for Taft. Fordney remained true as steel ,to his idol. "Uncle Joe." 7 Representative Dalzell of Pennsylvania Win . Ten r11 fill m nmKo
