The VAUDEVILLE.

already ordered and had press agent

HeStampedes the
Convention.
HOOTED WHEN he AROSE TO
SPEAK
At tn Close Of His Speech He
Wins Out Three to One.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, July S.-There was
a remarkable scene in the convention
today. 1t was when the report en-
platform was brought in. Bryan was
member of the Platform Committee
and it was rumored that there was 4
split in the Committee and that Bryan
would present Z minority report.
This rumor packed the galleries and
when the report was brought in the
tension was at it's height. The report
adopted by the committee was a Slid
ing over of the money and antitrust
planks which ammounted to just about
the Bryan defnation, "a staddling and
evasive platform
When it was read all eyes were on
Bryan and it was easy to see that
it was not the sort of platform that
he would write At it's close he arose
quietly from his seat and addressed
the Chair. His words rose over the
vast hall as clear as bugle,
Mr.. Chairman l desire to present
a minority report
At one yell went up from the gal
leries and a boot from the floor.
For several minutes pandimonium
reigned and the hooting continued
from different parts of the floor Bry-
an faced the storm cody and finally
began to speak. His voice was clear
and resounding and after few sen
fences he had the attention OF every
one in the vast building. He dissected
the platform piece by piece and plank
by plank and asked the Democratic
party to go into the fight on plat
form that evey consistant Democrat
could support a platform that was
pOsitive and aggressive and a platform
for Democrats. Gradually the con
vention began to cheer his ringins
utterances and finally the cheering wa:
a grand demonstration. AS he closeC
there was a prolonged roar from The
galleries and delegations fiocked a
round him waving their banners. Fo
while it was the most remarkable
scene ever seen in a political con
ventiOn.
When the vote on the minority re
port was taken it stood three to OF.
for Bryan.
1t is claimed now that Bryan ha
defeated Parker by stampeding tn
Convention. as Parker cannot run o.
the platform that Bryan has succeede
in putting upon the Convention.

WESTERN PACIFIC PLANS.
An Interesting Talk With One OF
George J. GouId's Combine.

NEW YORK, July George ].
Gould's straight railroad line IRON
Salt Lake to the Pacific Coast is an
assured fact" said a Gould director
today. Trust deeds and mortgages
have been filed in this city and IN
various counties in Utah, Nevada and
California, and the right of way has
been practically procured. Nearly all
of the route has been surveyed and
laid out.
Il have just returned from a trip
to California, where this new railway
project is meeting with an enthuslas-
tic welcome On the western emf
townships are offering cash bonuses iii
addition to lands in order to get The
railway to run their way
"The new road. which is to be built
bv the Western Pacific Railway, is de
signed to give the Gould system the
shortest possible outlet to the Pacific
Coast. The Missouri Pacific now
reaches Salt Lakefrom Pueblo, via the
Denver and Rio Grande. An almost
straight line drawn on the map from
Salt Lake to San Francisco will mark
the route of the projected read, abou>
100 miles south of the Southern Pacific
It will be about one days travel shrot-
or between Salt Lake and San Fran
cisco than any existing route.
"The significant feature of this en-
terprise is its harmonious connection
with the Denver Northwestern an
Pacific, which David H. Moffat and
unknown associates are now building
from Denver to Salt Lake"

ment of the juror. it shows that ne
had expressed an unqualified opinion
that the prisoners were guilty or not
guilty of the offense charged.
Section $40 Of the Criminal prac-
tice Act (Sec 1905, Cuttings Com
pilatiOn) enumerates nine seperate
cases for a challenge for implied bias,
as follows: Sect 1905 (Sec. 340) A
challenge for implied bias may be TAX
en- for all or any of the following caus-
es: Eighth Having form
ed or expressed an unqualified opinion
or belief that the prisoner is guilty
of the offense charged provided, that
such unqualified opinion or belief
shall not have been formed or express
sed or based upon the reading of news
paper accounts of the transaction
That the jurors opinion was not bas-
ed upon newspaper accounts alone is
satisfactorily shown not only by MS
testimony in response TO questions
by counsel upon either side but in reply
to the questions asked by the court
at the conclusion of his examination.
The answer made by the juror in
cross examination could not affect the
question of his competency under the
statute
AS was said by the Supreme Court
of California on similar case: It was
Of no sort of import whether he, in
fact had any prejudice against the
prisoner or not. or whether he sup
posed as q Juror he would be govern
ed by the evidence or not. The i'd
Initted fact being that he had IN
qualifiedly expressed his opinion upon
the question of the guilt or innocence
Of the prisoner. he thereby became. i'll

serve as 4 jurcr-just as if 1t had ap-
peared that he was related by con-
sanguinity to the prisoner (also
