DID NOT ORGANIZE
new BRYAN PARTY
Senator PettigreW's Guests
Talk Other Business.
Plan for Questioning Candidates Re
garding Majority Rule by Means of
Referendum and Initiative.

There is absolutely no truth in the
statement that Senator Dubois and the
others who were the guests of ex-Ser-
ato- Pettigrew at Manhattan Beach
last Sunday met for the purpose of
considering the organization of new
Bryan party. This is the positive
statement of Mr.. George H. Shibley. OF
this city. who is chairman of the Nom
Partisan Federation for Majority Rule
Mr.. Shibley declares that no propo-
sition looking toward the formation of
a new Democratic party was discussed,
and that this fact was made plain to
the members OF the New York press,
but that, Notwithstanding, they con-
cocted the story without the slightest
foundation
Mr.. Shioley further asserts that SEN
ator Pettigrew tried to have the story
denied after its publication, but that
his denial was not published.
"The thing considered, Mr.. Shibley
says. was the non partisan plan of or
ganizad labor for questioning the can
didates OF all parties as to their atti-
tude toward majority rule by means of
the referendum and the initiative.
In Mt. retti6rew's State majority
rule is an accomplished fact. and as
he was largely instrumental in secu--
ing its establishment | desired to get
his opinion of the present program for
majority rule. There was no talk of
forming a third party.
The program upon which our fed
Grafton is engaged is much more ef-
fective than third party politics. It
places all legislative candidates on
record as to whether they believe in
majority rule, and, If elected. will work
for a system whereby it may be at
tained al once, namely, through the
optional referendum and the initiative,
to be installed by rules of procedure.
THE system was adopted by the De-
troit common council last month. and
is being pushed in the common council
of Chicago and in other cities and
States, and nationally. 1t terminates
the power Of the political bosses and
all special interests. 1t terminates also
Imperialism and the entire spoils sys-
ten.
"Organized labor understands this, for
it has been studying the question. Last
winter an entire issue OF the official
magazine of the American Federation of
Labor was devoted to the subject, and
the entire body of organized labor is
insisting upon the adoption of the sys-
TEN. In every State the candidates of
all the parties will be placed on record
as TO their attitude to majority rule"

VIRGINIA RAILROAD SOLD.

NORFOLK, Va, July 23.-The Old Do

ATTEMPT MADE TO
BLOW UP A FORT
Incendiaries Set Fire to Torpedo Store
house ct Oregon
Post

ASTORIA, Ore. July 23.-I2 ,endiarics
last night set fire to the tor ;do store
house at Fort Stevens, the new military
post near this city. Had their plans sue
ceeded they would have blown up the
fcrt and perhaps killed hundreds of per-
sons. The building. however, is fire.
proof. and the flames failed to ignite the
explosives.
A large building at Fort Stevens was
recently damaged by fire, also believed
to have been the work OF incendaries
but efforts to discover the miscreants
failed.
After the torpedo storehouse was
found in flames and the troops had extia-
guishod the blaze. fire was discovered in
the barracks, the floor of which had been
saturated with oil.
After the fires were ut cut the SOL
diers found a ncte. signed The Twelve
Dynamiters,' to the effect that twelve
men had determined to destroy the fort,
and that their efforts would be continued
until they succe 1ded.

NEW WILLARD ORCHESTRA
RENDERS "TIMES MARCH"
The Composition Is Received With High
Favor and Makes Strong Bid
for Popularity.

The orchestra which furnishes the
evening program at the New Willard
offered "The Washington Times March"
last night and the composition was ac-
corded the same hearty commendation
which has greeted 1t since the compost
tion was first introduced to the Wash
ington public by the Times Newsboys
Band.
The march was first written in its
simple form, then arranged for the piano
and later put into band form. Only a
few weeks ago Mr.. White, the composer,
and leader Of the band, wrote the or
chestra parts and the latter arrange
ment has proved one of the most at
tractive of the number.
The composition is now in the hands
Of the publisher, and from the high favor
it has met thus far 1t bids fair to be-
come one of the popular marches of the
day

ESTABLISHING NAVAL BASE.
Work at Culabra Island as an Expert
nent.

Just to see how quickly a naval base
in the West Indies could be prepared
in the event of a hostile emergency, the
Navy Department has begun the expert
ment of establishing such a base on
CulebTa Island. near Porto Rico.
A big supply OF coal is to be sent
there Immediately, and a supply snip
loaded with material for constructing
necessary buildings and wharves is TO
he sent off as soon as she can be made
ready
The harbor of Culebra, which will hold
eleven big battleships comfortably. is to
1e buoyed, and wharves for landing ma
rines and supplies are to be constructed
In hurry.
A careful account of the time con-
sumed in doing this work is to be kept,
and the Navy Department hopes to gain
valuable suggestions from the informa-
tion obtained
The experiment is to be conducted
principally as a practical preparation OF
assembling Admiral Dewey's big fleet in
the vicinity OF Culebra next winter.

MURDERED BY LADRONES.
Bodies of Four Missing School Teach
ers Recovered.

A cablegram received at the War De-
partment from Vice Governor Wright at
Manila confirms the belief that the four
missing school teachers were murdered

explains that the bodies of the teachers
have been recovered.
The following is the text of Vice Gov
ernor Wright's dispatch:

dispatches about 4 month ago. The
men had NOT yet been assigned to
schools, having arrived after the begin
ming of the vacation season.

The above message was received over

pert gathered his tools and rushed to
the Assistant Attorney Generals office.
lie found half a dozen men grouped
around the big vault in the back room.
one of them looking first at the closed
vault ard then at the clock On the wall
A Panama Hat Disclosed.
The expert knew that it must be
something very important. and did his
hest, with the result that in 4 few mo-
ments the massive door swung open.
The safe was empty, save for a packet
u paPNiS IA a NOAi pa
mcnt and new Panama hat on one OF
the shelves.
The man who had been. fdgeting and
looking at the clock gave a cry of de-
light, grabbed the hat and thanked the
safe expert, glanced again at the clock
and rushed out of the room. Every
body except the safe expert laughed.
The expert was about to make a few
rude remarks about the man who had
telephoned for him when a clerk took
him aside. The clerk explained that
few days before the man
who had grabbed the Panama
headgear had walked into the
! Office and told the Assistant At
torney General and all the clerks with
in hearing that the hat had cost him
only 9S cents and that 1t was a Won
derful imitation, made by a new pro-
cess and not to be told from the orig
inal. He named the store where he
had purchased 1t and said there were
only few more left.
A Run on es-Cent Hats.
AS a result. every official and clerk
who had examined the hat took a few
moments off that day and went to the
store in question and asked for 9S-
cent Panama. And each OF the pros
pective purchasers was very much as
tonished when the man behind the
counter pulled out a slip of paper.
asked the name of the prospective pur-
chaser and checked It off on his list
Then the salesman explained that it
was all joke, and that a bet was on to
see how many people would take a $40
Panama for a lineoleum imitation on
mere say SO. During the day about 200
officials and clerks in the Postoffice De-
partment tried to buy $40 hats at 9S
cents apiece.
When the man who had started the
trouble next appeared in the office he
placed his hat on shelf in the safe.

closed on this occasion. however-no
one seems to know how-and no one re-
membered the combination. While the
Assistant Attorney General was trying
to think of it 4 o'clock came and the
Treasury safe expert went home.
The man whose hat was in the safe
had 20 catch a train the next morning
and he didn't want to leave town without
his Panama, so the safe expert was
given the impression that the fate of the
nation hung in the balance.
