After the meeting Senator Wolcott said
that the stories which have been in circu-

Stevenson. were unfoundes and unkind.
"A despatch from Washington is pub
lished today" said Senator Wolcott," in
which II is said that while Mr.. Stevenson
was in Europe with the monetary commits
sion he was in such q condition of health
that he was not consulted by the othe.
commissioners and that he was of no value
to the work OF the commission.
This was unkind and untrue. Mr.. Steven
son was In Europe six rlonths with us.
His health was good. and he took an active
part IL the work OF the commission. The
publication Of such stories as this when
they are not based upon fact do grave
injustice. 1t Is unfair to Mr. Stevenson 20

TOLEDO. Ohio, July 1.-THE antI-Ad-
ministration speech of Judge Laubie
threatens to disrupt the Ohio Bar Asso-
citation Of which he is the president. In
less the advice OF the more conservative
Republicans prevail. the speech OF Judge
Laubis will not be permitted TO appear
on tae minutes OF this annual meeting.
Such an action will result IN the with
drawal OF Laubie's friends.
The advice OF the Presidents more cor
servative friends Is that the matter should
be entirely ignored. Attorney General
Sheets is especially inesnsed. and threat
ened last night to introduce a resolution
which would put the association on record
as not endorsing the sentiments of the
speech and insiructing the committee in
charge of the matter to exclude 1t from the
official records Thisrwas done before when
a member of the association had made an
Objectionable speech.
An effort is being made by some OF
the Democratic members Of the association
to place e4-Attorney General Monnett at
the head OF movement to support Judge
Laubie IN his attempt to furnish campaign
material for the Democratic managers. II
Monnett could be induced to take such a
stand. the anar might become an origi-
nal attack on the Administration from Re-
publican sources. but Monnett refused
Some of the attorneys have been cir
culating the report last night that Mon
nett had endorsed the sentiments of Lau-
bie's effort to traduce the Administration.
He is quoted as saying that Judge I.aubIe
spoke like an American patriot; that
his Laubie's) effort was brilliant and
patriotic in the extreme"
Mr.. Monnett repudiates any expressions
Of this character.

CHARLESTON. S. c.. July 1.-THE
National Educational Association was con-
fronted with rather startling proposition
todiy. In the first place the attendance
has been less than usual by 1000 delegates
and of the 5000 delegates here only 800
attended the convention session this
morning.
The others scattered, seeing the sights,
and the largest crowd went down to an
ocean resort which is heraldsd as the
Coney Island OF the South Another crowd.
larger than that at the convention. went
to Fort Sumter. where special Government
permission was given to land but they
were disappointed. because high seas
drove the steamer away.
There has been an alarming lack of iu-
serest In the convention work, and the re-
suits are not altogether pleasing to the
leading workers who have the good of the
society at heart. Out of the great bulk
OF departmental work today there was
hardly an incident out of the ordinary.
Scores OF papers on educational topics were
read and discussed by prominent educators.
although the attendance at the ten depart
ment meetings this afternoon was about
in keeping with that at the big conven-
tion.
The Chicago party, or at least a good
part Of it, decided that the time here
could be more pleasantly spent In the SURF
and this afternoon Miss Elizabeth Kcot,
President Of the Chicago Teachers Club,
who was in bathing. came near being
drowned. She was rescued, however. with
out suffering any bad effects. The Balti-
more party has established headquarters
at the beach. nine miles from the city. and
to the majority Of people here the whole
thing Is an outing.
Booker 7. Washington proved the big at
traction at the convention tonight and de-
livered stirring address. which was well
received. A hard fight will probably be
made for presidential honors. The lead
ing candidates are Col. L. W. Parker, Of
Chicago; F. A. Foshay, of California. and
DR.. J. NJ. Green. OF Trenton, n. J. DR..
Green's chances appear strongest, and it Is
likely he will win.
The fight for the next convention city
seems to have narrowed down between
Detroit and Cincinnati It has been ex-
pected that the color line will cut big
figure at this gathering. bIt thus far 1t has
not. Not more than 100 negro teachers |
are here. and they attended the various
department meetings without question. |
They have taken little interest. Tonight. |

cHIcAao's GRAB POLICY.
Exorbitant Rates Asked for Rooms
for Democratic Headquarters,

CHICAGO, July 11.-Democratic leaders
are threatening to abandon Chicago as
the headquarters for the Presidential
campaign They say the hotels are asking
exorbitant prices for committee rooms.
The committee wants two rooms and the
hotel proprietors are said to have asked
almost the regular day rates for them
After considering the proposals received
for committee rooms today and declaring
the bids unsatisfactory, members of the
National Committee began to talk about
transferring the headquarters TO Washing
ton. New York. or St. Louis. In some
quarters this talk was regarded as a move
to force the hotels to make better terms
Senator Jones has persistently refused 10
say that headquarters would be opened in
Chicago. To all questions on the subject
he has answered that the new Executive
Committee would have to decide OIL the
place for headquarters. Meantime the
Senator and other members of the National
Committee who expect TO be on the Es-
ecutive Committee. have spent several
days comforting with the hotel proprietors.
Mr.. Bryan is said TO favor directing the
tight from Chicago because he regard.
Illinois as a doubtful State, and because
OF the central location of the city. It is
not believed that Chicago will be aban-
doned. even II the headquarters have TO
be placed in some ONCE building.

MILWAUKEE, July 1.-THE N. C. A.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Baltimore

wrecked at 8 o'clock this morning at a
siding near Holmes Junction, eleven miles
south OF Philadelphia. A switch had been
tampered with. whether out of mere mis-
chief or for purpose of robbery is not
known. No actual attempt at robbery was
made. The engine and five cars were de-

they felt their engine turning and escaped

This Is the second attempt to wreck an

1t was reported from Philadelphia that
there was $4,000 600 In gold coin and bull

the Treasury Department in Washington
to the Sub-Treasury In New York. but
this was a mistake. All the express mat

There was no gold consignment. There
was $1,000 of Treasury drafts. which
were delivered at the Sub-Treasury, hut no

Express Company which carries all Of
the Government funds over the Baltimore

wreck was robbery. They said today that
there was no treasure on the train. The
Sub-Treasury here gets no gold shipments
from Washington. Whatever gold comes
up over that read comes from the Phila-
