BRYAN ON THE RECEPTION
Expense Must be Borne by Popular
Subscription, Amount to be Linz
ited-Source UNREASONABLE

leeo-oouFCe OnqueStlondble
The executive committee, which is
in charge of arrangements for re-
ception to be given to William J.
Bryan at Madison Square Garden in
New York City on August 80 has
made public portion of letter writ
ten by Mr. Bryan to Alexander Troup
OF New Haven, the treasurer of the
committee, concerning the method Of
securing funds for the reception Mr..
Bryan wrote in part as follows
There will be some expense and
the committee must see to it that no
money is accepted from questionable
sources; in fact, think it would be
we'll to announce that the expense
would be borne by popular subscrip-
ton, 81 subscriptions being prefer
able, but that larger subscriptions
would be received up to $50, none be-
ing received over that. Also an
nounce that subscriptions of SIS or
more would be entered in book and
the names given to any one desiring
them. Subscriptions of less than SIS
would not be made known without
consent of the subscriber.
Say that the reception will be
made as inexpensive as possible and
that any surplus over and above the
expense of the reception will be used
to print and circulate the speeches
delivered at the reception.
I think the publication of the sub
scriptions is an important thing. The
republicans have failed to pass any
effective law in regard to campaign
contributions and this will be a good
rebuke to them and will foreshadow
the adoption of such policy for our
next campaign committee.

HEARST IN PARTY FOLD
Tammany Chieftain Allows That
Hearst is Still Democrat, and
May Support Him


A special from New York City to
the Chicago Record Herald dated July
"a, says:
Charles Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall today refused to be STAN
-peded into declaring in, favor of the
nomination of w. r. Hearst for gov
ernor William ]. Corners of Buffalo,
the most enthusiastic Hearst boomer
in the state, labored long and earn
estly with Mr.. Murphy to induce him
to change his mind, but in vain. The
most that he could get from him was
a promise not to treat Mr. Hearst
as outside the party, in case he should
be nominated, because he attacked
the regular democratic organization
III this county last fall.
Mr.. Corners indicated the result
of his consultation with Mr.. Murphy
in the WaldorfAstoria by saying after
it was over: I'VE shall have dele
gates enough in the state convention
to nominate Hearst without the aid
of New York and Kings counties"
1t was understood before the con-
ference that a representative of Mr..
Hearst was to participate in it, but
Mr.. Murphy was too wary to be
caught in a trap, and he insisted on
seeing Mr.. Corners alone. He made
it very clear after their talk that he
had refused to commit himself to Mr.
Hearst
Il had talk with Mr.. Corners, and
/ found him to be red hot Hearst
man." Mr. Murphy said. HE is also
a candidate for chairman of the dem
ocratic state committee"
Shall you support him for the
chairmanship?" was asked.
Il have not committed myself on
that subject" Mr.. Murphy said
DO you think that Mr.. Hearst has
any chance of capturing the regular
democratic nomination.,
Il have no opinion to express on
that at this time Mr. Murphy re-
piled.
rs it possible that Tammany might
support Hearst after he has done his
best to disrupt the organization?
yes, it is possible Mr.. Murphy
said. mind, now, / am not commit
ting myself. l do not say Tammany
will be for Hearst. I only say that
his opposition to our ticket last year
will not make it impossible for Tam
many to support him."
Cord Meyer, chairman of the dem
coratin ctafa onpapaif+oo +op;rbt Sc
sued a call for meeting of the com
mittee August / in the Hoffman
house to issue the call for the meet
ing of the democratic state conven-
tion. There will be no effort to dis
turb Mr.. Meyer as chairman of the
committee. That attempt has been
abandoned and Mr. Meyer will be
permitted to remain chairman as long
as he likes. Mr.. Corners has told his
friends that majority of the commit
tee is with Mr.. Meyer and that there
will be no movement against him.
Strong pressure is being exerted
to have the convention held in Buff
alo before the republican convention
meets and it is understood that Mr..
Murphy has agreed to this plan There
are five vacancies in the committee
to be filled and there is a possibility
that there may be contest over
these places.
There is to be a meeting of the
democratic county committee of Erie
county Wednesday next week, and
resolutions, it is said, are to be adopt
ed declaring for Hearst. The plans
is to influence the delegates to the
state convention, who will be chosen

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN

If Pryan is nominated as now
seems probable, the Democr tic
party will mean that 1t trutts the
spirit more than it distr usts the
letter; trusts his seriousness and
! devotion to the average man more
than it distrusts an intellect which
often goes astray alter shallow
remedies. Events bave helped
him more than he as helped him
self, but he has not been without
his share in bringing his party's
opinion around in bis direction.
His support of the President was
one astute and large-minded de-
cision, and his calm and judici us
essay on Socialism was another.
The feeling Of the country, how
ever that the railroads have partly
triumphed in the rate bill contest
and that the vest-d interest con-
troll the tariff, and that money
generally is the ruling power. is
what helps Bryan most. Next to
that, perhaps, is the feeling Of
loyalty that is strong in human
kind. His very defeats. in hie
campaigns, and especially in the
buncoed convention ofl904, have
left him stronger with the Middle
Western voters, who have always
been the basis of his strength.
Feeling that he has never had q
fair opportunity, that he ha1
more votes than Mckinley in one
election, that life insurance and
other corporation money is now
shown clearly to have been used
in large sums to compass his de-
feat, and that the men who donni-
mated the convention of 1904 were
corporation servants as thorough
as Aldrich himself. the Bryan fol.
lowing is looking eagerly for a
contest on more even terms. =

TOOK MATTER TO
SUPERIOR COURT
7. J. LYNCH BROCHURES WARRANT:
Charging John e. Bohnnnan With A.
sauit With Deadly Weapon
Committed mt Toppenish.

Thomas ]. Lynch, brother Of Agen.
Lynch of the Yakima Indian reserva-
ton and superintendent of bitches an
der Irrigation Superintendent Redman,
was in the city yesterday for the pur-
pose of swearing out a warrant for the
arrest of John c. Bohannan. who lives
four miles west and q mile north of
Toppenish. charging Bohannan with as
sault with q deadly weapon. The war
rant was given deputy sheriff. and
will doubtless have been served be-
fore this is read.
To Herald reporter MFR. Lynch
stated the cause Of the difficulty and
the particulars Of the case. From his
statement It appears that Bohannan Is
an old man of very quarrelsome dis
position who has given the reservation
officials no end OF trouble by tamper-
ing with the headgates Of bitches and
laterals and showing a disposition TO
take far more water than he was en-
titled to or could profitabfy be used.
Last Wednesday Mr.. Lynch closed b.
hannan's gate on the Holt lateral OF
the Erwin ditch because, ne states, b.
hannah was taking too much water
and had been molesting the gates
without warrant When Mr.. Lynch
went to shut the gate he was APP
preached by Bohannan, who came over
where the superintendent was talking
with man named Cans. Mr.. Cans II
seems. was not made of the same stuff
that the illustrious Joseph Cans dis
played last week at Goldfield. for as
soon as Bohannan had issued his
threats to end the earthly career OF
Mr.. Lynch, and had started to ami
hilate him with a shovel, Cans bolted
for home. ran In the house, shut the
door and pulled down the blinds. Lynch
and Bohannan engaged in a conflict
OF which the latter was getting the
better, beating Lynch about the face
and head. and with every blow repeat
ing his threats to kill him They
finally got to Mr.. Lynch's buggy. and
the superintendent managed to get on
the opposite side of it from Bohannan,
and secured possession of his revolver,
which he pointed at Bohannan and,
keeping him covered, made him walk
away After going a short distance

NOT STRONG FOR RESERVES.
spokane Paper Quotes Jones on For
estry Question.

Congressman w. L. Jones, says a
spokane paper, is not strong believer
in government forest reserves unless
they are formed for a special purpose.
He says. however, that 1t is a hard
matter to keep land out OF such a re-
serve after the forestry department
has decided that such lands should be
set aside.
LAS far as am concerned, believe
in keeping as much land out OF the
reserves as possible stated Congress
man Jones. This state already has
about 100000 acres in the forest re-
serve and more is hardly needed. There
are places where such reservations are
needed, but there is no water shed TO
be protected along the Pend dOreille
river and there is little use for keep
ing the timber for that purpose.
II have received word that the mat
ter of the Stevens county reserve will
be held up for further consideration.
The opposition has been asked to make
its reports and they will be considered.
The forest reserves have always
caused US more trouble than almost
anything else"
