HEARST GETS FUNNY Al
 MR. BAILEY'S EXPENSE

example to republicans and democrats alike
 "As for MT. Bailey-well, Bailey's ser vices have been rendered to the corpora ton end of democracy; that do not con- sder democracy, and whose control of the machinery of the democratic as well as of the republican party, has led me to seek my ideals of the democracy of Jefferson and the republican that of Lincoln, In the independent league. Bailey's nomination for first place even by the machine that nominated Parker would be impossible but Bailey's nomination for second place is conceivable. It would have the ma terial advantage of insuring Texas to the democracy and of ellcting a substantial campaign contribution from John D. Rockefeller. But Its advantages are ob- vious. Folk and Bailey, for instance. would be an oil and water ticket that would not mix-a ticket of good pure water and Standard oil.
 Bryan and Bailey would be alliteratiVe and taking to the car, but would sound too much like Barnum and Bailey to suit the discriminating taste of the conven- ton.
 why not Bryan or Folk or Stevenson in 1908 on the democratic side. and why not Roosevelt and LaFollette on the re- publican side?

San Francisco. July 6.-Congressman William R. Hearst said tonight:
 "I would like very emphatically to state that I am not candidate for the demo- cratic Presidential nomination In 1908
 MT. Bryan said the other day in Lsn- don that there were others beside him' self who had claims on the nomination through services rendered the democratic pqrty and mentioned pleasantly MT. Folk, Mir Bailey and myself.
 While appreciating MT. 2r.ans com pliment I must decline to be considered a candidate Let the list stand If MT. Bryan pleases, Bryan or Folk or Bailey. For my part, I would substitute Steven son for Bailey.

He has led the party conspicuously Tn two Presidential campaigns, and one senatorial campaign In the national House of Congress he has made the is- sues himself, and expounded them with A brilliancy unequalled and unapproached.

Offenses Against EIklns Law.

In the other eight counts of the indict- ments on all of which the defendants were found guilty two offenses against the Elkins law were proved. Itzwas shown by the government that the railroad com- pany had charged $4 per car for hand ling the products of the Schwarzschild and Sulzberger at Kansas City, and had then repaid the packing company $1 on each car. The government claimed and the court held that the failure of the railroad to publish in its tariff sheet the fact that the $1 was repaid, made it in fact secret rebate. 1t was claimed by the attorneys for the defendants that the refund of the $1 per car was necessary because the packing company owned the railroad track near it's plant, and com pelled the railroad company to pay that amount for trackage when 1t iauled the cars away. Judge Landis disagreed with this contention and declared that the payment of $1 constituted a secret rebate. Under the law the maximum sentence O the court may be fine of $120,000 for each of the three defendants. No imprisonment provision appears in the law.
 There are two specific allegations of re- batting in the eight counts of the indict- ment upheld by the court.

 Judson Harmon Speaks.
 Tt has been claimed that the choice of judges by popular vote tends to im- pair their independence. but I don't think so. The electors have neither means, op- portunity nor desire to interfere with the action of the judges they select. They can only refuse to re-elect when dis pleased, and barring some rare instances, such refusals have usually been just when not due to mere political causes. When the electors. however. act through political organizations in choosing judges there Is some peril, especially when those organizations are allowed to fall under the control of few men or a single man whose purposes generally are, or soon be- come. selfish or corrupt.

AERONAUT SWEPT ID SEA BY WIND Jas K Allen Rescued Afts[
 PerHOus Experience $ WAS IN AIR 10 1-2 huORS When the Alrship Struck the Water He Was Rescued By Fishing
 Crew and Taken to Boston
 On Schooner.
WAS IN AIR 18 1-2 AOURS

Boston. Mass. July 6.-After one of the most remarkable experiences in the his- tory of aerial navigation James K. Allen. the aeronaut who made balloon as tension at Providence on the Fourth of July, was brought to this port tonight on the fishing schooner Francis V. Silvia. Allen was picked up at sea twelve miles off Gotham at 7:30 o'clock yesterday morning 1S1a hours after his departure from Providence.
 Allen had a narrow escape from death by drowning. The winds that prevailed Wednesday blew his balloon a long dis tance from shore. Until news of his ar rival here became known, it had been thought he had met his death, as 1t was known that at the last time sighted, on Wednesday evening, he was travelling out to sea.
 That Allen is alive tonight is due wholly to a fortunate shift of the wind. When he made his ascension at Providence on Wednesday, the wind was blowing q brisk breeze from the southeast. The aeronsut was carried in hlS&balloon in a northeasterly direction and pAzsed over the town of Atleboro. He had his balloon under perfect control at that time, and while in the vicinity of Atleboro he des- cended twice.
 From Atleboro the airship travelled in the direction of Brockton and the last seen of the aeronaut by observers on shore was when he passed over Seituate early in the evening.

Headed Straight to Sea.

At that time the balloon was headed straight out to sea. When Thursday dawned without any news being received from Allen and 1t became known that the last time he was seen was when he was headed out to sea, it was then be- lieved he would never return.
 After Allen passed over Massachusetts Bay his plight was more perilous. We'd nesday night he was over Provincetown. At this point of the voyage the wind shifted from southwest to northeast and from Provincetown the balloon sailed down the outer Cape Cod coast. At 7:30 the aeronaut was rescued twelve miles off Chatham by the fishermen of the Silvia The balloon was saved in good condl- tion and was brought to Boston on the schooner.
 During his flight Allen covered a total distance of about 200 miles, nearly half of which was over the water. The po- sition where he was picked up Is about T miles from Providence In a direct line.
