GORMAN THE CHOICE
OF WEST VIRGINIANS
All But Four Delegates Named by the State
Democratic Convention Will Support
the Maryland Senator at St. Louis

CHARLESTON, w. Va, April 90
The Democratic State Convention held
here to-day was largely attended and
was marked by stormy scenes, in which
delegates passed The lie and threatened
one another with personal violence.
Notwithstanding the expressions of Bit
ter feeling, however, the convention
closed in apparent harmony and all
the delegates at large to the national
convention were chosen by acelama-
ton and the platform was adopted
unanimously.
While no instructions were given, it
is known that all but the four dele
gates from the Fourth and Fifth Con-
gFessionsl districts favor German for
President, with Parker as second
choice.
During recess of the convention the
five district conventions met at differ
ent points in the city to name dele
gates and alternates. What are known
as the conservatives won In the First,
Second and Third districts and Will
liam r.. Hearst in the Fourth District.
The delegates from the Fifth District
are non-committal.
Judge Dent of Grafton was named to
succeed himself on the Supreme Court
bench.

DISCUSS "oPEN DOOR,
Cabmen and Owners Hold Conference.
but Adjourn Without Agreeipg

The question of an open door" pol
icy is the bone of contention between
the drivers of unionized cabs and the
owners thereof, who constitute the Sta
blemens Association. Last night there
was a consultation between representa-
tives of the two organizations at, "a
Eighth street. The meeting was stormy
and practically without result.
The hackmen were insistent on an
abrogation of the notices posted in the
stables practically declaring that union
and non-union men were acceptable
To this the advocates of the drivers
objected so strongly that the meeting
was adjourned without a decisive de-
termination.
At the end of the session the repre-
sentatives of the cabmen withdrew and
the owners remained. Before the break
up President Finn of the Stablemen's s
Association delivered a ringing address
to the cabmen, telling them of the ex-
penses in the way of rent, feed and
hire to which employers are subjected.
The delegates listened coldly to his
words and then withdrew to their own
Headquarters, where the question of an
"open door" policy was discussed mega
lively.
None of the men are willing to COM
promise, and the stablemen are equally
insistent that they may hire men ire
spective of the fact whether or not they
belong to unions.

BRACKET MAY
LOSE POSITION
Chief Emergency Surgeon
Likely to Be Retired for
Betterment of the Service
MAYOR SCHMITZ WROTH
Health Official Ayers That
He Can Vindicate Him.
self From Charges Made

Unless DIR. George F. Bracket, chief
surgeon of the emergency hospitals, is
able to clear himself of the charges
that he had demanded fees for work
performed in his official capacity he
will be removed from his position by
the Health Board.
This statement was made yesterday
by Mayor Schrnitz, who further inti-
mated that even if Brackett is able
to clear himself he will be given an
opportunity to resign. This course will
be taken for the betterment of the SER
vice, as the Mayor is tIring of the
charges made against some of the at
taches of the Emergency Hospital staff.
These charges are likely TO bring his
administration into disfavor.
The charges against Bracket were
made by Mrs. Fannie Ames of 612 STAN
yam street, who accuses Bracket of
trying to collect a fee from her for
work performed in his official capacity
in treating her husband, who was fa-
tally injured in an elevator accident.
M Fleishhacker, at whose place on Sut-
ter street Mr.. Ames was crushed, also
charged Bracket with demanding and
receiving from him fee of $5 and of
making an unsuccessful attempt subse-
quently to collect an additional 500
from him (Fleishhacker).
DR.. Bracket appeared at the Mayors
office yesterday afternoon to present
his defense, but the Mayor was not in.
Bracket confided to Secretary George
Keane that he had complete written
vindication from Mrs. Ames and he
promised to return later when the May

CONCESSIONS TO HEARST.
Olney Supporters in Massachusetts
Wave the Olive Branch.


BOSTON, April 20.-A spirit of con-
cession to the supporters of w. R.
Hearst was manifest at to-night's
meeting of the Democratic State
Committee. called to perfect arrange
ments for to-morrow's State conven-
ton, at which delegates at large and
alternates to the National Convention
will be chosen. The friends of Rich
ard Olney claimed, however that the
convention would advocate Olney's
nomination for the Presidency by Sc
lecting delegates pledged for him.
The Hearst men, headed by George
Fred Williams, won what they con-
slider an important concession from
the State Committee when that body
voted against the embodiment of the
unit rule in the call for the conven-
ton. But, although they won this
point, there is nothing to prevent the
Olney delegates presenting resolutions
TO the unit rule. Williams said to-
night that If such resolutions were
passed they would be illegal and any
attempt to bind the district delegates
would be laughed at in st. Louis.
The State Committee refused to al
low the protest of the Hearst support
ers that the caucuses in Lowell, which
elected Olney delegates, were illegal,
but granted credentials TO two Hearst
delegates in Chelsea, where Olney
delegates had been selected.

TORONTO LOSS

Fire in Wholesale District
Covers Many Acres and
Throws 10000 People Idle

TORONTO, Ontario, April 20.-The
total loss by the fire which destroyed
the wholesale district of Toronto last
night will, according to the most con-
servative estimate, reach $4,000, 600.
The total insurance is $S,360,000. The
area swept by the fire embraced four
teen acres, and 10000 persons are
thrown out of employment. The work
of tearing down the dangerous walls
was begun this afternoon. In the
whole burned district the only walls
that appear to stand intact are those
of the w. r. Brock & Co. building.
The City Council this afternoon placed
all public buildings and the exhibition
grounds at the disposal of the fire suf-
ferers; amended the fire regulations to
allow the erection of temporary struc-
lures and appointed a committee to
wait on the Legislature and secure an
act ordering all wires underground.
At a meeting of the Legislature the
Premier and the leader of the opposi-
ton expressed sympathy with the fire
sufferers and 1t was decided to place
a sum of money In the supplementary
estimates for the benefit of the fire.

propagation of the Legislature fixed
for Friday will be indefinitely delayed
because of the fire. The burning of
the Warwick Bros. & Rutter building
delays the Government printing for
this year.
The total number of buildings de-
stroyed is 1872, the number of firms
affected 222. 1t was decided by the
City Architect tonight to begin to-
morrow morning the work of dyna
hitting all the standing walls in the
ruined district. The smoldering
ruins broke out into flames of con-
siderable size during the afternoon

a renewal of the eonfagration.

HEARST AGENT IN TROUBLE.
Oregonian Resents Remarks Made by
l.. III. Mooser.

PORTLAND, Or, April 20-L. H.
Mooser, Hearst boomer from Cali
fornia, drifted into a meeting Of the
Multnomah County Democratic Com
mittee and also much trouble this even
ing. The trouble was caused by j. NJ.
Farmer a member of the committee,
who charged Mooser with having made
boasts of bribery.
When Mooser came into the COM
mittee room in the Board of Trade
chamber some one told him of Farm
ers remark, quoting Mooser as say
ing before the convention: II will
have the delegation If 1 have to buy
it," Turning to Farmer, Mooser cried
out angrily: ANY man who quotes
delegates is liar"
Didn't / hear your" replied Farmer.
You didn't" said Mooser.
Il did" retorted Farmer.
You're a liar,' yelled Mooser.
Then Farmer swung with his right
and nearly fell down with the effort
Bystanders interfered and the belliger-
ents were separated. Then Mooser ex-
planned. He said that he could buy up
all the delegates if he wanted-that is
he had money enough to do so The
meeting was just then called to order.
Mooser left the room and the incident
closed.
nj. F. Tarpey will invade Washington
with the Hearst boom. Mooser and B.
d. Murphy will go back to California
That Hearst would have been indorsed
for the Presidency is admitted by the
most earnest Hearst antagonists had
the Californians confined their efforts
to the interior counties.
But when an effort was made to take
possession of things, first in the Multi
nomah County convention and after
ward in the State convention, the Web
footers rose in wrath and turned down
the agents from the south.

PASSENGER MEN AGREE

Eastern Agents Yield to Demand of
Two Departure Days From the
Pacific Coast.


Pacific Coast.
SANTA BARBARA, April 20.-The
convention of the Transcontinental
Passenger Agents Association, which
has been in session in this city for the
past two days, came to a close short
ly after noon to-day. The entire
morning session was given over to a
consideration of the Worlds Fair ex-
cursion dates, difference of opinion
existing between Eastern and Western
agents concernin the frequency of de-
parture dates from terminal points on
the Pacific. Coast. 1t was the ,ex-
pressed opinion of the Eastern men
that one day a week was sufficient to
handle the Pacific Coast traffic, but
the coast agents held out for a greater
number of departure dates, amounting
practically ta two week. After a
protracted discussion the Western men
succeeded in Convincing the Eastern
agents and an agreement was reached
on two days of each week. Round
trip rates had already been agreed
upon several days ago. The schedule
will be in force from May to October
inclusive.

HINTS FOR pREsSNIAkERS..
Nine. Baker Talks About Trimmings
II. i and Describes I Few Sep
- - T. arato skirts. , =, s5...= @ +.

Trimmings always interest-that IL,
the kind that are made in the shop or
home. It is not always possible to find
laces, braid and passementeries suita-
BILE for certain gowns. and then it is that
the maker rises to the occasion and deft
fingers produce wonderful results.
Braids and ribbons now come with a
thread or cord on the edges to draw up,
as they did few seasons ago, and the
prettiest little wheels and scrolls are
formed of'them, with spider webs of silk
and gilt threads and all sorts of lace
stitches. Velvet bands have patterns
covered with the ribbon or braid.
The whole lower part of the skirt may
be made in this way: First cut out the
shape in paper; then haste on your
scrolls to nearly cover the dounce.
Work together with worsted or silk
thread and then pull out the paper.
Parts of the waist and sleeves will be
made in the same way; borders may be
put in chiffon or net dresses; in fact,
there is no limit to the possibilities
When ribbons were the rage before,
thousands of yards were gathered
through the center and put in much the
same way as described; but the trim
ming now has a much better finish, as
the edges are fiat and the work may be
pressed on the wrong side. Velvet
applique in with the braiding Is very ef-
fective and lace insertions in wheels are
not particularly new, but work in very
we'll with little frills of satin ribbon on
the outer edge.
The Castle or Diamond braids, that
have threads of color woven through

them, are very desirable, if used in plain
cloths for simple house gowns. Three
inch wide braids make rather a heavy
gown when drawn up slightly on the
upper edge and made to simulate wide
tucks. A chiffon cloth has skirt of
TN plating. with braid put on this way:
Each row has at the lower edge fine
inch-wide knife plating of the chiffon.
The tops of the sleeves have the same
rows, but the waist part is trimmed
with white lace and black velvet rib
bon.
Velvet ribbons are woven in checker
board squares, every alternate one Of
embroidery; again, they have an ear of
wheat forming vine; or they are beau
tifully embroidered in japanese designs,
with the edges as often waved or ir-
regular as straight. The black velvet
ribbon with gilt beads can be used very
effectively on black net. The Burling-
ham sacking-cut in straight or shaped
bands and finished with braids of any
Widths very good trimming for
broadeloth or ta4feta gowns.
Black satin is again used for evening
gowns, but it is of the soft variety
more like messaline-and one can hard
ly do without black net. One of the
prettiest seen is of alternate bands of
glace taffeta and darned net, the pattern
being worked in with black zephyr.
This is easily done, and in simple pat
terms takes less time than it would to
make shirred rufles or ruches.
Spangled nets are too becoming to be
laid upon the shelf for any length of time
and many beautiful shapes and designs
are now shown. Instead of the plain cir
cular robe the triple skirt is the favorite
and godet rutf1es are sold to apply to plain
net.
The above hints Nine. Baker, the we'll
known editor of the American Dress
maker, supplements with description of
four separate skirts, which are shown
in the cut Fig. A Is skirt with panels
in rounded sections suitable for broad
cloth. Fig. B is skirt with fine tucking
between stitched bands. Fig. C is skirt
with alternate panels notched at bottom
and trimmed with braid. Fig. D is a skirt
with shaped yoke and top part and deep
tucked f1ounce.

Cooking Fruit in the Oven.

Many fruits are richer and better for
being cooked in the oven, instead of
stewed on top of the stove. This is es-
pecially the case with apricots, prunes
and apples, and fruit cooked in the oven
should be closely covered to prevent it's
browning. 1t should be cooked slowly.
care being taken that it does not dr.
on the dish. This will not happen If 1t
is we'll covered with water at first and
taken from the oven when the water
and sugar have boiled down to q rich
jelly. In most cases the fruit should
be cooked about half a day.. or for sew
eral hours. A. stoneWare pipkin or a
heavy earthen pudding dish, covered
with plate, is the best thing to cook
fruit in. Prunes, If cooked in this way,
should be sprinkled with fine shayings
from the yellow rind Of an orange. They
dry down. easily, and therefore should
be tightly covered and cooked slowly.
Apricots should be cooked long time.
After the sugar is added, take OF the
cover and let the fruit glaze little, but
not harden. 5z'
