MAY rNpoRSE BRYAN.
Government Ownership Not Popular
in Alabama
InI Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. September g. 1906.
1t is expected that the state democratic
convention which meets in Montgomery
Monday to nominate a chief justice of the
supreme court and two associate justices
and also to adopt a platform and elect a
new state executive committee Will indorse
Bryan in general terms and urge him for
the democratic presidential nomination. but
1t Is regarded by many party leaders as
important that Bryan's government rail-
road ownership idea shall not be included
In any general Endorsement of him and his
policies. The declaration of Bryan in IA
vor of government ownership of railroads,
farty leaders here point out, is not to be
ccnfounded with railroad rate reform and
regulation, which was the issue on which
r.. b. Conner recently won u sweeping vic
tcry for governor in the Alabama demo-
cratic primaries. Neither Mr.. Conner nor
any of his chief supporters stand for the
ownership idea, and democrats here ex-
press regret that Bryan should have mixed
the two together, since government owner
ship of railroads is looked upon by most
southern democrats as a poputist propa-
gaGda pure and simple.
1t Is therefore not improbable so we'll
posted party men say, that when the state
democratic convention adopts its platform
Monday it will emphasize the recent victory
In favor of rate reform and railroad and
corporation regulation, as shown by the
ovtes in the primary. and Will heartily In
dorse those ideas. but at the same time
will declare against railroad ownership by
the government. There is strong feeling
in favor OF a declaration of this character,
but out of consideration for Mr. Bryan
il is possible that the platform will be con-
fined on these questions to an Endorsement
of Bryan for President in 1908, and decla-
ration in favor of reduced freight rates
within the state and more stringent con-
troll of the railroads and other large cor
porations, especially with regard to better
car service rules by the roads and more
equitable assessment OF tax values by ali
the big corporations. The convention will
II Is expected, nominate Associate Justice
John X. Tyson OF Montgomery for chief
justice of the supreme court. since he re-
ceived at the recent primary a small ma

1t is Published by the Revoiuti oasry
Junta In st. Louis-ComplaiMs
by President Diaz-

Declaring to be false the reports of BIT
ter ant american feeling in Mexico ana an
organized revolution against President
Diaz. David E. Thompson, the American
ambassador, has made an exhaustive Fe-
port to the State Department setting to@-h
in detail information which could not oe
conveyed In his previous confidential ats
patches. He has renewed his request -Hat,
I'm compliance with the wishes of MexcC's
president, this government should take
steps to suppress. the Mexican revolueiolE-
airy junta at st. Louis. which publishes IN
Spanish paper called Regeneration.
He contends that articles that have ap-
peared in certain newspapers Of the United
States discussing alleged dissatisfaction
with the administration of President hiaZ
and asserting that an nsurrection OF pes
sibly far-reaching consequences Is incuh-t.
ing are wholly without foundation and OF
mestimable harna to- Mexico.
Small Labor Riots.
He characterizes the troubles that al
ready have occurred as nothing more than
small labor riots. Mr.. Thompson deplores
the fact that such publications give most
exaggerated importance" to the work OF
men who have fled from Mexico and who
continue to endeavor to breed spirit OF
unrest in that country.
From observations made by Mr. Thomp-
son. under instructions from the state De
partment he gives as his opinion that the
situation is not at all critical, but that the
persistency with which many Americc'n n
papers have insisted that a revolt In Mex
leo against foreigners is imminent ms
created a decided feeling of unrest among
the foreigners and excited the commo M K
lean to thoughts of what might be done
along he lines discussed in the publica-
tions. and he adds:
'If, after all this agitaton-for nearly all
of which the American papers are respon-
sible-there are not local disturbances In
the middle OF September. the fact VIII speak
marvelousy well for the Mexican govern
ment and people. If there should be any
local disturbances they will be handled
rightly by the Mexican government. Such
thing as general uprising is not to be
seriously considered
Complaint Against the Paper.
Numerous kilograms have been exchanged
between the State Department and Ambas-
sador Thompson in relation to the publish
ers of Regeneration. in which the ambas-
sador has suggested that if these men could
be dealt with as anarchists President Diaz
would feel deep gratitude. The sugges
ton made by Mr.. Thompson followed inter-
views he had with President Diaz in which
the latter expressed the earnest hope that
the United States government could take
steps to prevent the further circulation of
the paper.
The State Department Immediately re-
ferred the dispa tches of Mr.. Thompson to
the Depa rtment OF Justice, with a view of
ascertaining what measures might be taken
against the newspaper Regeneration or Its
publishers. In that department an inveStt

1906 GREAT YEAR

Old Ed Geers, Best Driver Last
Year, Again Promises to Shine
On the Circuit.
Especial to The Times .p.,pa.ch.)


CHICAGO, January 27.-Interest in
events In the light harness horse world
promises to be keen during 1906. The
Grand Circuit is sure to OFFER many fine
attractions for trotters, and PAGERS. and
drivers will receive their share OF at
tention.
What 1905 did in the world of trotter
and PAGER is now history, but the work
of one man and one horse now stands out
as the most brilliant. Ed Geers. the
Silent man from Tennessee who has
driven many champion trotter to vic
tory. comes out at the top OF the list of
winning drivers.
In the Grand Circuit races he scored
sixteen flrsts. seventeen seconds. nine
thirds, fourteen fourths and was unplaced
but fifteen times. The prize money he
won amounted TO $4,000. His nearest riva
was Lou Mcdonald, who won s27.le0 In
stakes and purses.
While Geer's record is hardly UP to that
of the year before, he has laid further
claim to the distinction OF being the
best driver the country has seen in years.
He is past the three-score mark in years,
but to-day ranks with the cleverest young
drivers in the country The years have
not robbed himJof any OF his cunning,
and 1906 sfsurs to land him we'll up
