facturer; and Lieutenant jackson, let
ter carrier.
DIR. John D. MeGin was there as one
of Governor Murphy's staff. General
Wanser was also present in U. S.
uniform, Chief of Police Murphy was
one Of the committee that welcomed
President Roosevelt The chief came
back on the Presidents special train
as guest with Governor Murphy.
As soon as he was espied at An
tietam an invitation to be a guest on
the presidents train on the homeward
trip was extended and the chief gladly
accepted, as it enabled him to reach Jer-
sey City several hours earlier than if he
had taken a regular train.
The Jersey City members of the First
Jersey Brigade and the 18th N. J. In
fantry, despite the rain that marred the
festivities toward the end spent most
delightful day roaming amid the scenes
where they fought and saw their com
rades go down to death. Reminiscently
they discussed this point and that or this
or that phase of the battle that waged on
the memorable spot. They were inn
mensely pleased with the shaft that COM
Smemorates the heroism of their comrades
who fell.
Discussing the subject this morning
Chief Murphy said it stopped raining
about nine O'clock in the morning and the
sun shone out until noon. Then just as
President Roosevelt was about winding
up his Grafton the rain fell in torrents.
But that didn't phase the crowd nor the
President He told the crowd he could
stand it if they could sHe is a wonder
full man." said the chief and can adapt
himself to any and all circumstances.
The chief was proud of the showing
made by the police for the Presidents s
protection on the route from the train
shed to the government tug Narkeeta
which conveyed him and his party to the
Navy's auxiliary yacht Sylph, lying in
the East River, under command of Lieu
tenant Stone A force of sixty policemen
were present at the depot under command
of Inspector Archibald. Secretary Loeb
turned to Chief Murphy and said:
81 see, Chief, you have the usual fine
police showing"
Superb" said the President, as he
surveyed the lines of Jersey iCty's finest
that stretched along the route.
Before leaving the train shed Presi-
dent Roosevelt in accordance with his us
ual custom shook hands with the engineer
and fireman of the special train. They
were engineer Ben Smith and Fireman
P. A. Kenny. Notwithstanding it was an
early hour hundreds of men, mostly work
ingmen gathered in the vicinity of Adams
Express pier and cheered the president
as he passed.

A Heavy-weiEht bicycle.

A bicycle that requires the united
strength OF three strong men to lift is one
OF the strongest ever made, and 1t will be
on exhibition in this city soon.
When a noted German conceived the idea
OF teaching an elephant to ride bicycle
he did not doubt his ability to teach the
animal to do the trick, but he was afraid
a bicycle could not be made strong enough
to support the weight OF the elephant.
After several attempts he soon found
firm that was willing to contract to build
a practicable bicycle which would carry an
elephant. After a second test the wheel
was ready. and in twelve weeks after the
bicycle was done the elephant was daily
enjoying bicycle rides around the ring barn.

Insane over Base Ball.

Benjamin w shonquist. a young man
19 years of age, living at the corner of
Sixth street and Avenue ], was yesterday
committed to st. Bernard's hospital by
the commissioners for the insane. He has
become mentally deranged over base ball.
One year ago he was paroled from the
state asylum at Lincoln, his parents then
making their home in Nebraska. Since
that time he has been able to talk about
nothing but base ball and never missed
the opportunity OF witnessing a game. no
matter whether the players were profess
sionals or boys lined up on the commons.
1t was all the same to him; 1t was base
ball.
When the commissioners asked him II he
remembered who was the warden at the
Lincoln asylum he replied: why of
course I do; 1t was Buck Keith" Moth
ing the commissioners could say would
make him believe but Buck Keith, who
made such a lamentable failure of manag-
ing the Council Bluffs team in the Bush
league here, was in charge of the Nebraska
asylum when he was there.
At the request of his parents he was
committed to st. Bernards hospital in
stead of to the state asylum at Clarinda.

COLLEGE PRESIDENT ON TRIAL
Head of University, of south Dakota
Investigated by order of the
Governor.

SIOUX CITY. la, June 2o.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Because he entertains sociological
views DR.. Garrett Droppers. president of
the University OF South Dakota, is being
made the subject of an investigation by
the Board of Regents at the direction of
Governor Herreid. DR.. Droppers is said
to have expressed the view that govern
ment. ownership OF railroads would stop
gambling on Wall street. In addition, DR..
Droppers is charged with having taken a
drink "once" and that he smokes cigarettes.
He is also charged with incompetency. The
investigation was held at Vermilion, and
business men of Vermilion and ministers of
the church testified. In regard to the charge
of incompetency Editor Wiley of the Re
publican testified that the president of the
university had addressed letter to him:
1.-THE Republican. Dear Sir" He regarded
this sufficient proof of the presidents
incompetency. DR.. Taylor, pastor of the
Methodist church, testified he had seen one
or two college presidents, and DR.. Droppers
did not come up to the standard. c. z,
Prentis, a business man, testified he had
once got whiff of the presidents breath
quired wholly from inhaling the atmosphere
of the South Dakota wilds o. NJ. Thomp-
son had seen the president smoking. A
charge of political persecution has been
raised. but this is denied. DR.. Droppers is
neither a republican nor a democrat, but
sort of sociological free lance, after the
cult of Prof. Ely OF the University Of
Wisconsin.

DEMOCRATS NOT PLENTIFUL
Hardly a oorporal's Guard of the Faithful
Attend the County Convention.
NAME DELEGATES TO STATE CONVENTION
Are Uninstructed, but said to BE
Opposed TO Reclamation of the
Kansas City and Chicago
Platforms.

Less than thirty Of the 17s accredited
delegates were present when County Chair
man Mack Goodwin called the democratic
county convention to order yesterday morn
ing at II O'Clock in the south court room
of the court house. Many of the precincts
were not even represented by one lone
delegate. The lack Of interest in the con-
vention was attributed to the fact that
only delegates to the state convention
which meets in Des Moines next Wednes-
day were to be selected and that a county
ticket was not to be nominated until a later
date.
Chairman Goodwin, on calling the
corporals guard to order, named Former
Mayor M f. Rohrer as temporary chair
man and Louis Zurmuehlen, jr., as tenn
porary secretary. The temporary organiza-
ton was made permanent with little for
mality. On assuming the gavel and casting
his eyes over the vacant chairs Chairman
Rohrer refrained from making any lengthy
speech, although he had fully intended
doing so had the attendance been such as
to warrant it. He contented himself how
ever, with expressing his appreciation of
the honor conferred on him in being called
so Unexpectedly to preside over such a
gathering of the democrats Of Pottawatta-
mie county.
When IL was suggested that a committee
on credentials be appointed II developed
that in several of the townships no eau
cuses had been held and the representatives
from these precincts present were on mo-
ton accepted as the duly accredited dele
gates.
The convention being thus organized. al
though in a somewhat Informal manner,
the work of selecting the delegation to the
state convention was proceeded with. These
were named as a committee to select the
delegation: F. A. Bixby, Victor Jennings,
Sylvester Dye, John T. Hazen and John p.
Organ. The committee, after experiencing
some difficulty IN securing the names of a
sufficient number to fill the delegation. re-
ported the following list, which was
| promptly accepted by the convention:
Victor Jennings, c. D. Walters, James
| O'Neill Sylvester Dye, 7. =. Casady, w. L.
/ Johannsen, George Thomas, Thomas Bow
man, Roscoe Barton, Warren Hough, J. z.
| Organ, +. w Miller, e. p. Graney, ]. r.
Black, 8. D. Toby, Hugh Mclean. George
| s. Davis and A. o. Wyiand.
The delegation will go to the state con-
vention uninstructed. 1t is said, however,
| that It is opposed to the reafflrmation Of the
Kansas City platform and will be in favor
of adopting an entirely new platform.
The handful OF delegates present ex-
pressed themselves as favorable TO deferring
the county convention at which county
ticket will be placed in the field until Sep
! tember.
