Mr.. Vandiver Confident

Chairman Murray Vandiver, of the
Democratic State Central Committee,
was at headquarters Tuesday aud ex-
pressed himself as entirely confident
that the Democrats would straighten
out in a satisfactory manner the tangle
into which they have gotten in three of
the Congressional districts of the State.
Il have been trying TO get in COM
munication with Mr. Henry Lewis, the
chairman of the Ocean City convention,
who is now in st. Louis" said Mr.
Vandiver, land as soon us possible the
date for reconveuing the FIRST district
convention will be fixed aud the Demo-
Gratis there will have their candidate in
the field. While it is greatly to be re-
GREETED that Ex-Governor Jackson could
not see his way clear to accepting the
nomination unanimously rendered him,
/ do not think there will be any diifi cul-
ty in finding man who will accept
and who will be able to make a winning
fight. There are plenty of good Demo-
Gratis on the Eastern Shore whose candi.
dacy will mean victory for the party
in the First District and l am confident
that such man will be named by thu
convention when it reassembles. There
is no fractional strife in the party in the
First district or in any other part of the
State. The party is united and there is
no question about the result in Mary
land this fall

A Show with a Good

Welsh Brothers Circus needs no in
PRODUCTION to the Snow Hill amusement
public. For period of seventeen years.
this aggregation, always embracing the
best artists of the saw dust arena, has
been annually welcomed in this State.
and it cannot be said of this show. as it
can of many others. that it has ever
failed to give entire satisfaction. Thus
have circus goers learned to look for
ward to the visit of Welsh Brothers as
they would to holiday. and the conf
dence existing between the proprietors
aud the public is mutual and never
abused.
Welsh Brothers show is one of the
most progressive on the road The
proprietors do not indulge in idle boast
ing or loud-mouthed claims, but. as the
ancient saying goes. they "saw great
deal of wood" during the season. and
each succeeding season finds bigger
and better show before the public.
The show will unfold its caravan of
wonders at Snow Hill. one day only,
Monday. September 5th.

MICHIGAN WINS
 ATHLETIC MEET
CHICAGO FINISHES SECOND, AND UP TO THE LAST EVENT THE RESULT OF THE DAY WAS IN DOUBT.

Chicago June 4.-The University of Michigan today won the intercollegiate conference athletic association meet held on Marshall field, securing thirty-two points. Chicago was second with twen- ty-nine points and Wisconsin third with a total of twenty-five. Six new inter-eolle- giate conference records were made, and two of the old marks were equalled In the track events a strong wind was Breitkreutz of Wisconsin succeeded In lowering the record for the half mile run, held by .iimself The finish of the mile run was one of the most spectacular seen on Marshall field in many years. Werner of Purdue won by yard after he seemed entirely out of the running in the last lap.
 The final result of the meet was in doubt almost to the last Chicago and Michigan vieing with each other for first place. When the final heat of the 220 hurdle was called, the Chicago contingent were jubilant, fully expecting Blair of that institution to add five points to Chi cagos score, thus putting the score of the two rival universities on an equal foot ing. Much to the embarrassment of the Chicago rooters, Poage of Wisconsin, easily captured the event and by so doing won the day for Michigan. The score by colleges was as follows
 Michigan. 32; Chicago. %; Wisconsin. 25 Purdue, 13 Stanford g; Illinois, 6; Indiana. 1; Drake, 8; Oberlin ?; Iowa. l.
 Minnesota, Northwestern, Missouri, Be- lott college, Lombard college, Ames, and Iowa State Normal failed to score.

AMERICAN VESSELS

FRANCE IT IS SAID WOULD VIEW FAVoRABLY SUCH ACTION BE- CAUSE OF COMPLICATIONS THAT MAY ARISE.

Paris, June i.-Although no official inti- nation on the subject has been given, 1t is understood that France would view favorably the withdrawal of some of the American warships now at Tangler. The presence of the American ships there has had the effect of attracting ships of other nationalties including Italian and Brit ish. According to the French view, if a local agitation occurred, American, Ital- ian and British ships might land forces to preserve order and 1t Is pointed out that this would involve serious responsi- bilties upon the United States and would also have the effect of discrediting Frances paramount influence in Mo- rocco.
 The American officials say that the United States warships will be promptly withdrawn if France undertakes the en- tire burden of securing the release of Ion Perdicaris
