and wound up by providing for finance
committee and for the report OF the COM
mittee on platform.
The committee on credentials filed its
report, but as it did not touch upon the
question of proxies it caused considerable
discussion, the delegation from the south
ern part of the State insisting that it should
be modified in this particular before IT
was adopted. II was finally laid upon the
table until tomorrow.
The com mmittee on platform and resolu-
tions had hard tussle with the financial
question. 1t finally agreed upon the follow
ing financial policy: We declare that money
should consist of gold, silver and paper,
and be issued by the Government directI V
to the people without the Intervention OF
any private Individual or corporate on,
suffice mt in amount to transact the bust
ness of the country, and to be full legal
tender for all debts, public and private; to
this end We favor the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to L.
We oppose the issue of Government bonds
in time of peace, and in the payment of
its bonds the Government should exercise
its option as to the coin in which such
bonds are paid.
The immigration plank adopted i. as
follows: We look with great concern upon
the increasing tide of immigration, thus
bringing to our Nation iliiteracy, crime
and pauperism, and we are in favor of such
legal measures as shall make all immigra-
ton subject to educational qualifications,
and also to increase the time under which
they may exercise the privilege of elective
franchise.
The balance of the platform to be
reported is as follows:
We demand the extension Of the right of
suffrage to woman upon the same terms as
given to men, and are in favor of the proposed
amendment to the constitution of this State
extending the right of suffrage to them.
We are unalterably opposed to any appro-
and firmly hold that tor trustees and teachers
none should be elected except men and women
OF high moral character.
We are in favor of settling all labor strikes
and all international disputes by arbitration.

All men should be protected by law in thei,
right to one days rest in seven.
We oppose the passage OF the funding bin
now pending in Congress, or any bill eX-
tending the payment OF the debt OF the
Pacific railroads 10 the Government and de-
mand that the Government foreclose Its lien
upon said roads.
We demand the election of President vice.
President and United States Senators by q
direct vote of the people.
We demand that railroads, telegraphs
and other monopolies should be owned
and operated by the Government giving to
the people the benefit of service and products
therefrom at cost. The Prohibition party in
convention assembled acknowledging It's
allegiance to Almighty God, presents the fol-
lowing declaration of principles:
Believing that the drink traffic is the most
important issue before the American people /;
that in addition to desolating the homes and
destroying vast numbers OF our people an
nually and corrupting politics IL overrides JUS
tice, is an enemy to the public welfare, and is
a constant menace TO the perpetuity OF our
liberties, we therefore demand the prohibition
OF the manufacture, sale, importation and ex-
portation of all intoxicants for beverage pur-
poses and we appeal TO Christians and patriots
10 cast their votes with us for Its overthrow.
We demand direct legislation, The inlative
and referendum in National, State and local
matters, also proportional representation.
During the afternoon meeting of the
State Central Committee Chairman Glass
reported that he could no longer serve as
chairman of the State Com mittee, as he
udu bTdNeicu over ZO,OOO miles anu spent
$500 OF his own money. He said that
in other States, notably Inciana, the chair
man of the State Committee was paid a
salary Of $3.50. He said he thought $1O0 a
month was little enough to pay him, and
that unless the convention paid him that
salary he would not consent to serve
longer as chairman of the State Commit
tee.
The financial affairs of the party were
discussed, and it was decided to refer the
matter of raising funds to the incoming
com mittee.
The convention adjourned until to-mor-
row morning at $3.50 o'clock, at which time
the committee on platform will probably
be ready to present its report. The COM
mittee has decided to submit planks COW
ering the questions of prohibition, woman
the licensing of it by municipalities, and
will declare in favor Of arbitration betwee
capital and labor.

PROCEEDINGS AT UK|AH,
High Court of ForesterS Passes
Upon Amendments to
the Laws.
HoSpitable Citizens Entertain the
Visiting Delegates at
Banquet

UK1AH, CAL, May 13.-The second
days session of the seventh annual High
Court, Ancient Order of Foresters, has
been q very interesting one. The first
matter which was brought before the con-
vention upon the opening of tine session
this morning was the report of the State
district committee, the adoption of which
was moved and resulted in the motion
being lost and the report rejected. The
plan outlined in the report of the district
committee provided that district SUBJ
sidiary High Courts be organized, each to
have jurisdiction over the respective State
or Territory in which it may exist; that
delegates from each subordinate court
shall be selected to meet with such dis
triet convention annually, and that the
latter elect delegates to the subsidiary
High Court, which is to meet biennially
1t is expected that this question will again
arise during the meeting.
A committee appointed to decide an
appeal from Court Star OF the West, de-
fining the duties of the deputy high chief
ranger, overruled the action of the board
OF final arbitrators.
Section 10, article of the subsidiary high
court laws, was amended to read that all
laws and alterations in laws made at each
sub-high court meeting shall go into effect
on the first day OF July following such
meeting, in place of January /. The pro-
posed amendment to article 80, section l.,
was::recommended by the committee, but
| the motion TO adopt the report was lost.
| The amendment, had it prevailed, would
have permitted the presentation of amend
ments to the general laws on the floor OF
the convention, whereas at present all
| amendments must be presented to the
executive council prior to December 81,
| preceding each high court meeting. a
| new committee, to be known as a COM
mittee on time and place OF meeting, was
created. Several proposed amendments
to the general laws were rejected By the
committee on laws, and its report was
adopted.
A banquet was rendered the delegates
this evening at the opera house by the
people of Ukiah, and many delegates, a:
well as a large number of invited guests
were present. Speeches were made anC
toasts INDUCED in at Odd Fellows Hall
The work of the order was exemplifieC
this evening by the high court officers at
meeting of Court Redwood No. 1911.

Northern Pacific Attempts to Prevent the
Lake Shore Sale.

NOTIHcTH IOCfUC hUeHtptS 20 ITeC6nt tHc
Lake Shore Sale.
SEATTLE, WASH, May 13.-The North
ern Pacific Railroad Company has at last
made move which will undoubtedly re-
suit in postponement of the sale of the
Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railroad,
booked to take place next Saturday. Yes
terday afternoon papers were placed on
file in the Federal Court in which the
Lake Shore Railroad Company appeals to
the Circuit Court of Appeals at San Fran
cisco from the decree signed by Judge
Hanford of the Federal Court ordering
the sale of the property to satisfy mort
gage. Accompanying the petition is an
order made by Judge Hanford on May 2,
but which has not heretofore been pub
lished, which allows the appeal.
There was also filed yesterday by the Lake
Shore road a petition asking the court 10
modify the decree of foreclosure already
signed so that certain property and other
interests which the road has in Eastern
Washington will not be sold. The road
claims that the property referred to was
never intended to be included in the mort
gage. 1t was acquired long time after
the mortgage had been given and under
circumstances which excluded it from the
mortgage.
While the Lake Shore appears as petit
toner and appellant in these matters the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company is
back of the moves. James Ashton of Ia
coma, who is counsel for Receiver Andrew
F. Burleigh on the Pacific Coast, appears
as counsel in the present appeal and petit
ton.

His Leg Broken and He Dies
of Blood.P Poisoning in
Hospital.
THE SHERIFF INVESTIGATES
Fred Butler Arrested and Shipment
East of the Body Is Deferred
for an Inquest.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May 13.-The
embalmed remains of John Granger, in
tended for relatives at Detroit, Mich, were
stopped here this forenoon by Sheriff Burr
of this county on account of the sus-
picious surroundings of the old mans de-
mise. Investigation convinced the Sheriff
that there were many chances OF the de-
ceased having received injuries from fel-
low named Fred Butler, who had been
seen in Granger's company day or two
before he was taken to the County Hospi-
tai. A complaint was issued to-day against
the suspect, who is designated as John
Doe Fred, but whose real name Is under.
stood to be Fred Butler. Granger was
taken to the County Hospital suffering
from broken leg, and the idea obtained
by the hospital officials was that he had
accidentally broken it. His case was not
considered dangerous and he was attended
to by the hospital surgeon.
His condition developed into serious
one in a few days and it is stated that
modification set in, which resulted fatally
in spite Of all that could be done for him.
1t was found that on the night of May
Granger was in saloon called the Golden
Eagle in this city and it is claimed that
while there he and Butler became involved
in quarrel, which ended in Granger re-
ceiving some very rough treatment at
Buffers hands. 1t is claimed that Butler
slammed him about in such vigorous
manner that his leg was broken and that
he received the injuries from which he
died.
Granger has been around the city for
some time and has been in receipt of a
small income left him by the death of a
relative. His relatives in Detroit were
communicated with after his death and
instructions were received to have
the body embalmed and shipped to his
sister in that city. The remains were
turned over to Undertaken Garrett and ne
was about shipping them when stopped
by the orders of the Sheriff.
The investigation caused him to lay the
whole matter before Coroner Campbell,
| and an inquest will be held tomorrow,
when additional light is expected to be
thrown upon the affair by the testim ony
of the witnesses who have been summoned
| in the case.

Scafhin0 Committee Report In the Case of

Scathin0 Committee Report In the Case of
Rcr. Il. r. King.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, May 13.-The con-
duct OF the Congregational minister, Rev.
e. Russell King of Highlands, San Ber-
nardino County, formerly OF Paso Robles,
has been passed upon by committee of
the San Bernardino Association of Con-
gregational churches, and their report
condemns the reverend gentleman in
unmis.akable terms. After a carefully
worded preamble of reasons for the in
vestigation, the report declares that the
Rev. Mr.. King is liar of great and subtle
attainments, and concludes as follows:
We also have undoubted evidence of the un-
manly unchristian and fragrant misconduct
OF Mr. King toward his innocent children and
MS wlte-a woman whose character Is COM
mended as pure and praiseworthy. Further,
immortality. While proof upon this point ca n
not be claimed as positive, at the same time
the circumstantial evidence Is such as casts a
shadow upon Mr.. Kings character which
Calls for the most emphatic condemnation
In view OF this evidence and the fact that
Mr.. King, though cited, refuses to answer the
charges, we recommend that Earl Russell King
De expelled from the San Bernardino District
Association.
And we further recommend that the
churches and general public be warned against
this man as dangerous and unworthy.

DO YOU WANT
MANHOOD?

Every man who has any pride
in his makeup knows how
precious to his life's happiness,
how necessary to his SELF
respect, is the feeling of strong,
vigorous manhood. No man
enjoys life who has always
hanging over him the dread of
Nervous Debility. There is that
deep-rooted disgust with him
self, the fear that his friends
will discover his condition. 1t
robs life of all that is enjoyable
all that makes life happy
peace of mind jovial, sociable
disposition; the confidence in
self. 1t takes from him the
bright side of life-that healthy

Mrs. Forsyth.
Los ANGELES, CAL, May 13.-The
Coroner's jury in the inquest held over
the body of Mrs. Ella Forsyth, better
known here as May Emerson, who sui
cided in West Lake Saturday, found YER
dict of premeditated suicide.
About one year ago Mrs. Forsyth disap-
peared from her home in San Francisco,
leaving note saying that she was going
on pleasure trip out to Fort Mason.
Every day for weeks her husband, George
Forsyth, patrolled the beach in the hope
OF recovering her body as he supposed she
must have been drowned. Instead of
going to Fort Mason she eloped with Fred
Emerson to Los Angeles. Emerson de-
serted her few weeks ago and her family
had disowned her, hence her cause for
su1cldlng. Emerson refused to bury her
and Forsyth was communicated with. He
Immediately telegraphed funds for her
burial, which will take place to-day.
