Maryland, who has been asked to
become chairman Of the Democratic

Special Dispatch to The Call.

BERLIN, July 19.-The German Jew
ish committee having in charge the
funds collected for the relief Of vic
Tins of the Kishenev massacre has is
sued statement explaining it's delay
in making public the accounts OF the
committee. The statement says in
part:
The explanation is painful to US
Jews, but the scandal must neverthe-
less be made public"
The statement. then proceeds to say
that after the massacre several Jew
ish millionaires promised to subscribe
100000 rubles for the relief of those
left destitute, but they soon regretted
the impulse. 1t was only after incred-
ible trouble that the committee was
able to obtain $4,000 rubles from the
subscribers, the millionaires resorting
to many cunning tricks to Hberate
themselves from the undertaking.
Several papers, commenting on these
facts, assert that the Israelitish mil
lionaires of Kishenev represent the
type of Jew which provokes anti-Sem-
itism.

NEW YORK, July 19. - Oscar
Straus, lifelong Democrat, one of
Cleveland's strongest supporters and
a leader in the Democratic bolt from
Bryan in the first Mckinley campaign,
refuses to support Judge Parker and
the Democratic ticket He says that
the refusal of the Democratic conven-
ton at st. Louis to incorporate a
sound money plank in it's platform
after the receipt of Judge Parker's let
ter was a Bryan victory. The
party that has not the courage or wis
dom to take such necessary action in
regard to sound money does not, he
asserts. deserve to be intrusted with
power. and therefore he refuses to
support its candidates.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

CINCINNATI, July 19.-An unknown
woman was attacked by a maddened
bear in charge of the Huntington CIV.
day. Before the animal could be re-
captured 1t had torn the garments OF
the woman into shreds, partially dis
robing her.
There were two bears with the party
that came on a special train from Hin
ton, Charleston and Huntington, W.
Va The animal which caused the mis-
chief was in charge Of George CARED,
trustee of the Huntington lodge. 1t is
said that on the way to Cincinnati the
animals were treated to beer, which
caused them to become wild. The
crowds at the depot and the heat
helped to make their condition worse.
While on the way to the Grand Hotel,
the bear in charge of CARED broke
loose and attacked a woman who was
standing on the curbstone watching
the incoming visitors. The animal
elawed at her dress and soon had the
silken folds in shreds. She saved her
face from being dishgured by lodging.
Elks surrounded the bear and tore it
from it's intended victim.
Meanwhile the other bear, in charge
of an Elk from Hinton. also broke
loose, tore through the crowd and ran
for several squares before it was cap
tured.
EXALTED RULER ELECTED.
While the eighteenth annual reunion
Of the Benevolent and Protective Or
der of Elks has been in progress all
this week, the fortieth meeting of the
Grand Lodge did not begin until to-
day, when morning, afternoon and
night sessions were held.
There were but two candidates for
grand exalted ruler. The ballot re-
suited as follows: W. j. O'Brien of
Baltimore, 10; Samuel H. Needs of
Cleveland, 379.
When the nominations were all made
a recess was taken from o'clock until
8 o'clock for the purpose Of having all
the nominations printed on Australian
ballots.
While the delegates were engaged in
these sessions there was much excite
ment among the visiting Elks over the
exposures in the annual reports about
the alleged extravaganza in the ex-
penses of certain general officers and
the discrepancies between the different
reports.
SECRETARY is CRITICIZED.
1t is explained that these discrepan-
cies are due to the demoralized and
incomplete condition of the records in
the office of Grand Secretary Reynolds.
No such explanation is given of the
charges by Grand Treasurer Needs OF
extravaganza. Needs reports that the

WORST BEATEN NOMINEE.
Only Forty-Two Votes Cast for Gen.
Scott, Less Than Were Cast
for Greeley.

Horace Greeley is often referred to as
the worst beaten candidate for presi-
dent ever nominated by either of the
great parties. In the November cleo
ton of 1872 Mr. Greeley was defeated,
the popular majority against him being
1900. ...r -..-
That majority, says the New York
Sun, though considerable, did not re-
cord the full measure of the disaster
of the Greeley canvass, for about three
weeks later, on November 20, Mr.. Gree
ley died, and when the electors in the
states which he had carried met in
January, only three of them-three
from Georgia-voted for Mr.. Greeley,
and the votes of these three were OBJ
jected to on the official canvass on the
ground that Mr. Greeley, having died,
was not an eligible candidate to vote
for, his death being "a historic fact
The house of representatives refused
to receive these three votes; the senate
agreed to. AS consequence, there
fore, Mr. Greeley did not actually re-
ceive a single electoral vote, but the
Greeley electoral ticket polled so cleo
toral and 100000 popular votes.
A worse beaten candidate for the
presidency than Horace Greeley, every
thing considered, was Gen. Scott, the
nominee of the whig party in 1852. His
military achievements, it was thought,
would assure him large popular vote,
but he actually received only AZ cleo
toral votes out of a total of 296, and
most of these came to him by slender
majorities.
The four states he carried were Ken
lucky and Tennessee, Massachusetts
and Vermont. He had 1900 plurality
in Tennessee and 500 in Vermont.
The candidate for the presidency who
had what would now be called clean
sweep, or almost a clean sweep, was
James Monroe, in the election Of 1920.
There were 232 electoral votes in that
year, and James Monroe received 231
of them This was before the choice
of presidential electors by popular vote,
which was begun four years later.

WAS GUEST OF THE MIKADO
kuropatkin Enjoyed Hospitality Of
the Emperor CT Japan a Short
Time Before War.

Gen. Alexei Nicholavitch Kuropat-
kin and staff Of Russian officers en-
joyed the hospitality of the emperor Of
Japan a little over one year ago. 1t was
in June, 1903, that the Russian minister
of war, the now world famous general.
journeyed to China and Japan to attend
the important conference held at Port
Arthur to talk over the Russian posi-
ton in the far east All the Russian
high officials then stationed at North
! China and Manchuria. including the
Russian minister to China. were pres
ent, and to show this distinguished
gathering honor the mikado extended
| a special invitation to Gen. Kuropat-
kin and his staff to cross to Toxic and
enjoy an entertainment, however brief,
at the hands of his imperial representa-
tives
Though the time of the Russian men,
bers of the conference was somewhat
limited, they decided to avail them
selves of the invitation so courteously
extended, and this is how it happened
about Is months ago that Russian and
Japanese soldiers of the highest rank,
who are now using every effort to ami
hilate each other, drank tea together in
the friendliest manner on now hostile
soil.
According to the oriental custom,
when this noble officer, representing
the car of all the Russias, called upon
the mikado in response to the latter's
polite and official Summons cups of fra
grant pale-colored Japanese tea were
passed to the guests assembled in the
royal tea garden.
The occasion was an important one
from political standpoint, so the Of
ficers of each country wore their hand
soonest uniforms and all the medals
they could boast collectively.
A picture was taken of the group of
men as they sat under the cherry bios
som trees and in the shadows of the i'm
perial palace. To Gen. Kuropatkin was
given the seat of honor in the center,
and on one side sat the Japanese min
lister of war, Terauchi, and on the other
side Maj. Gen. Murata, also of the mika-
dos army.
The Russian general and his distin-
guished staff presented a striking con-
trast in appearance to the smaller JAP
anese officers. Kuropatkin himself is
a striking, fine-looking man Of purely
Russian type. In full uniform he is the
ideal war god, and even as he slipped his
tea his hosts must have felt conscious
appreciation of the vigOr, strength and
might of this great mans mind and
body, though occasion placed him, from
The western point of view, in rather ef-
Terminate surroundings.
Gen. Kuropatkin comes from the an
,ient Russian nobility. He was born at
