NoMINATES READ FOR JUDGE
Republican Convention of Fourth Ju-
dicinI District Names Cnndi-
date unanimously

The republican convention of the fourth
judicial convention nominated Guy r. c..
Read for judge and transacted all Of its
other business in less than fifteen minutes
yesterday afternoon. The convention was
held at Washington hall and was called to
order at 8 o'clock by H. H.. Baldrige, chair
man of the judicial committee. IN motion
of w. /. Kierstead, Mr.. Baldrige was made
temporary chairman and T. II. Woodland
of the Fifth ward temporary secretary, and
then the temporary organization was made
permanent.
Charles A1tstadt OF South Omaha moved
that Guy r. G. Read be nominated for
judge by reclamation, and the motion was
carried with enthusiasm. Chairman Bald
rige named A. S. Richie of Douglas, E. B..
Carrigan of Washington, Judge Wilson Of
Sarpy and c.. w. ConklIng of Burt as a
committee to notify Judge Read Of his
nomination, and the convention took a re-
cess to await the appearance of it's nominee.
Within a few minute Judge Read was
escorted into the convention hall and in
troduced as the member of the judiciary
to be elected this fall. The judge made a
very brief speech in which he thanked the
delegates for the honor given him and said
that his conception of the duties of the
office for which he had been nominated was
to make an honest and conscientious effort
to interpret the law without fear or favor.
After the convention adjourned all of the
delegates congratulated Judge Read on his
unanimous nomination and predicted his
election by a big majority. He is nominated
to fill the unexpired term Of Judge Ben S.
Baker, resigned, which ends December 81,
1903. Several months ago when Judge Baker
resigned, the governor appointed Judge Read
to fill the vacancy until the next general

Crowds at CORTLAND Beach.

CORTLAND Beach had a larger attendance
yesterday than any day this season, not
withstanding the cool weather. Early in
the day picnic parties, composed of whole
families with well-laden baskets and nu-
merous little ones, in many instances,
spread their hammocks in the nicely shaded
grove and prepared for a days enjoyment.
By 1880 o'clock in the afternoon every
one Of the twenty-four regular Sherman
avenue CORTLAND Beach trains we're
crowded and superintendent Tucker found
it necessary to more than double that num-
Der. By 2:S0 o'clock all the extra trains
were handling their full quota and con-
tinued to do 30 until late In the evening.
After the performance Of the Faust family
In the afternoon, the cars returning to the
city were we'll patronized, and from then
until 1890 o'clock cars going in both direc-
tions were crowded. The Faust family of
nine persons, five of which are children,
ranging from Az years old up, gave two
very pleasing and entertaining artistic ac-
robatic performances. They give two per-
formances each day this week, and from
the highly appreciative audiences and the
extent of the applause given them yester-
day, Manager Grifnths anticipates a large
afternoon attendance of women and chill
dren the entire week. During the whole
afternoon people sat on the wide Verandas
of the pavilion. many Of them with wraps
on, others with coat collars turned up,
watching the numerous men and women
bathers. 1t was a peculiar sight, but as
1t was the first really clear afternoon the
people had a chance to visit Lake Court
land since Decoration day, they seemingly
enjoyed their outing immensely. Manager
GrifAths said the attendance proved con-
clusively to him that all that was neces-
sary was the right kind of weather and
Lake CORTLAND would again prove its pop
ularity with the public. Nordin's orches-
ira gave It's regular concerts, and while the
management regrets the bowling alleys are
not quite completed, the bowlers will find
their interests will be improved by the
short delay, as no pains nor expense has
been spared to make them perfect in every
way.

GENERAL SMITHS E W

ordeal.

WASHINGTON, June I15.-The order Of
General Jacob H. Smith, on relinquishing
command Of the Sixth separate brigade in
the Philippines, preliminary to his return
to the United States is Of more than ordi-
nary interest on account of the criticism
of that officers conduct OF the campaigns
in samar and Leyte. The order is as fol-
lows:
Pursuant to telegraph instructions from
division headquarters the undersigned here
by relinquishes of the sixth
separate brigade. For over forty, years
his daily life has been Identified with the
soldiers of our army, and naturally he has
had a large and varied experience OF them
and their duties. And never in this long
experiences so novel, so difficult and which
required such courage, persistency and
pluck as those imposed upon them by the
Samar campaign now closing. Never has
American manhood responded more cheer

ships more CALAMITY faced. The trials OF

commander takes his leave with mingled
feelings of pride, satisfaction and sorrow
ments; sorrow that the inevitable hour of
parting has come. To them all, as well
as to the troops in Leyte the members
of the navy and marine corps who have
all of their undertakings and to the mem
bers of the brigade staff who have ever
met each duty with an ability which have
made possible the results achieved, the
brigade commander offers the assurance
of his appreciation of what they have
borne and done, and his deeply felt thanks

WANT GOVERNMENTAL LINE
Canada Greatly Fears the Morgan Steam
ship Combine,
PROMPT ACTION SURE TO FOLLOW
Service May De Established Under the
Auspices of Both Canadian
and Imperial Cow
ernments.

OTTAWA, June 15.-(special Telegram.)
The thing which has held attention in
Canada this week more than anything else
has been the possibility of getting a gov
ernmental fast line between Great Britain
and the Dominion. The danger to Canada
from the Morgan Steamship combine has
become so threatening that it has become
necessary to act promptly, and it Is gen
orally expected that at the inter-colonial
conference steps will be taken Immediately
to establish a service under the auspices
of both the Canadian and imperial govern
ments.
For years there was one Canadian line,
the Beaver, now known as the Dempster
line, which has kept aloof from the COM
bination of transatlantic steamers, but of
late it looks as II this line might succumb
also and Join the Morgan crowd.
That the situation is very serious is gem
orally admitted. Active competition is
being threatened by the American and Ger
man interests of the Morgan syndicate with
the Dempster line in their South African
trade at present and no matter whether
the company is driven out Of business or
driven into Morgan's hands, it would mean
an immediate increase in all the various
steamship rates between Canada and Eu-
rope. The steerage rate would not be
exempt from this and any important In
crease in that would have a bad effect upon
the emigration to Canada.
The only way in which the great combina-
ton now existing can be fought is by the
government establishing a steamship line OF
its own without loss of time, no matter
whether It be slow or fast, as long as
it is there for the present to take care OF
the emigrants whom the Morgan combine
would like to exclude.
One thing Canadians think Mr.. Morgan
will never be able to corner and that is the
fish supply of the Pacific. Just for the
present the Canadians have the advantage
Of the Americans in the matter of the sal
mon, at any rate.
Speculation upon what the representa-
tives of the colonies and the empire may or
may not do at the inter-colonial conference
in regard to general trade matters will keep
the minds of Canadians occupied for some
time to come, but 1t is pretty certain that
Sir Wilfred Laurier will make the strongest
possible opposition to Sir Michael Hicks
Beach's proposal for free trade between the
various colonies and Great Britain.
