DEMOCRATIC STAE CONVEN'
TION.

The formal call for the Democratic
State Convention was issued Tuesday
by Chairman Vandiver, OF the State
Central Committee, as follows:
"The Democratic State Convention
to nominate candidates for Governor,
Comptroller and Attorney General
will assemble at $50 o'clock P. NJ. on
Wednesday, September 10th, in Music
Hall, Mount Royal avenue, Baltimore.
Badges will be provided for delegates
and alternates. The galleries will be
reserved for ladies and their escorts.
The nominees will be introduced to
the convention after the nominations
are made. The opening of the cam
paign and the formal notifications OF
the candidates will take place at Mount
Airy, Carroll county, on Saturday
September 26th."
Mount Airy has been selected fol
the notification OF the candidates and
the formal opening of the campaign
because it is practically point Of
juncture for four counties-Howard
Montgomery, Carroll and Frederick
The campaign, according to the lead
ers, will be one that, while short, will
be record-breaker in many ways, and
the idea is to wake the State up from
Garrett to Wicomico.

The President has ordered an inquiry
and the Secretary has, at the suggestion
of Mr.. Roosevelt, requested man, who
is in no way connected with Interior De-
partment, to undertake thorough inves-
tigation, but so arduous and thankless
does the undertaking promise to be, and
so difficult is it to get along with the ir-
rascible Secretary, that considerable diff
Guilty is being experienced in getting the
desired investigator to undertake the task.
The acting Attorney General is also try
ing to secure some one to make special
investigation of the employees of the De-
partment of Justice who are charged with
malfeasance, but thus far has been unsuc-
cessful.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., August Bis

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 31st.
Mr.. ED1roR:-The gravity and magni-
tude of the Indian Territory land scandals
become more and more apparent as time
goes on and it is freely predicted that
they will far overshadow the postal frauds
when the facts are finally dragged to light
Practically all the members OF the Dawes
Commission now appear to have been in
volved in schemes to defraud the Indians,
or at least profit at their expense, and
have accomplished this end by becoming
members of land and Investment syndi-
Gates. Several employees of the Depart
ment of the Interior have also been found
to have itching and smutty fingers, nota-
bly, ]. George Wright, an Indian inspec'
tor, and Secretary Hitchcock's most trust
ed adviser, also United States attorney,
his assistant and other subordinates of the
Attorney General. Secretary Hitchcock,
whose personal honesty no one doubts,
appears to have been hopelessly hood.
winked and he even now seems to be
grossly incompetent and at loss to know
how to deal with the rascality in his own
department.
Charges that the Secretary deposited a
fund of $7OO, 900 accruing from the sale OF
lots in the towns of Hobart, Lawton and
Anadarko, Oklahoma, in St. Louis trust
company in which he was interested have
been entirely disproven, but it has been
discovered that the Secretary did not pnr-
sue the usual method of handling these
funds but deposited them with the Treas
urer of the United States where they are
subject to his personal check and that he
detailed the auditing of the accounts to
the General Land Office, subordinate
bureau of his department., which. it is
claimed by Treasury Department officials
is in clear violation of the law. 1t is
further claimed that while the disburse.
ments made from this fund have been
audited by the Land Office, the receipts
have not been audited at all and the ap-
pearances are that the Secretary has per.

is NOT TAKING
ANY CHANCES

The Washington Evening Star of Mon
day says:
IA friend of Senator German said to-
day that while all this talk is proceeding,
whether the Senator can or cannot get the
Democratic nomination for the presidency
the gossippers may be reckoning without
their host. According to this narrator,
it is by no means fo1egone conclusion
that Senator German is a candidate.
''The friend in question went on to say
that Senator German will seek the nomi-
nation if he is reasonably confident OF
two results-namely, that he can secure
the nomination and that his chances for
election are equal to those of the Republi-
can candidates. A handicap upon either
proposition, it was stated, would preclude
his appearance before the convention as
a candidate.
ut was stated that the Senator does
not care for complimentary nomination,
with defeat staring him in the face. He
would abhor the idea of being candi.
date before the convention and meeting
defeat there. His position in American
politics and craftsmanship is SO well
secured that he does not feel the neces
sity for empty honors.
There are many contingencies, it was
explained, which enter into the situation
and all of these will be carefully taken
into account by Senator German before
he allows his name to 60 before the con
vention with his authority. 1t will be re-
called that no man has the right to say to
day that Senator German is an avowed
candidate for the presidency.
"'When the Senator's name goes be-
fore the convention said this friend, ii
will be when he feels sure of nomination
and when he is reasonably confident. OF
leading his party to victory"

shirt bosom, when the detective dealt him
a blow on the head which stunned him, aft
er which he, grabbed the weapon from the

Stocker is one of the new detectives. who
took his position yesterday morning. He re-
ceiyed a warrant against Williams for as
sault with intent to kill a negress. Stocker
found his man and, remembering the Reedy
murder Of a few days ago, he took the pre-
caution of searching Williams. He found no
weapon and commanded the negro to walk
along with him to the police station.
The negro replied that he did not know
whether he would or not, and suddenly put
his hand down into his shirt bosom. draw
ing a big revolver.
Detective Stocker took in the situation be-
fore the negro had time to press the trig-
ger. and with his clinched fist dealt the
negro q blow on the side of the head. which
stunned him. He then grabbed the weapon
from the negroes hand and. drawing his own
weapon, told the negro to get up and walk
straight or he would blow his head OFF.
The negro did as he was told and marched
to the police station, where he was locked
up. He will be kept in the calaboose until
Monday morning, when he will be ar
raiCned.

FAMILY AND FRIENDS OFFER
REWARD FOR CHARLES HAYDEN
Alton Glass Blower Who Disappeared
and Is Supposed to Have Been
Drowned, Carries $500
Insurance.

Every plan that can be thought of is
being tried by the friends of Charles Hay
den of Alton to locate him. but no definite
clew has been obtained.
Hayden disappeared in the afternoon OF
April %. and is thought to have been
drowned in the Mississippi River.
On the day of his disappearance Hayden
hired a skif from Captain Eugene Webb
and went out for a row on the river. Hay
den was an expert oarsma and spent a
good portion of his leisure time in that
pleasure. Previous to his disappearance he
had been i'll for several days with nervous
trouble. and told his wife that he would go
out on the river that afternoon, thinking
the trip would benefit him.
Hayden was seen near the Missouri shore
about 3 o'clock. Later his hat was found
about one mile below the Alton bridge and
his oars a short distance below the bridge.
The skif was picked up in the river the
