Langdon Stands No Chance

By Thomas B. sullivan.

Those who are in the confidence of

predict that Theodore A Bell will be
the nominee for Governor of the Dem
ocratic convention, which will be called
to order on Tuesday at Sacramento. 1t
is argued that the candidacy of Bell
has been made political necessity by

When the Democratic convention

to snatch the control of the conven-

power not only in the city. but in the
State. and District Attorney William
H. Langdon would be nominated for
Governor by the Democrats.

YOUNG BARTENDER

Charles colIignon shot Dennekohl.
His companions were Charles J. Blake
snd Frank o'Connor. All were arrest
ed and booked at the o'Farrell-street
station.
The attack occurred at few minutes
after 10 o'clock. Dennekohl, who is p
years Of age. was behind the bar when
the three men came in and demanded
liquor. Their actions were suspicious
and the young man kept sharp watch
on them A few moments after the en-
trance Of the men three friends of
Dennekohl came into the place and
asked for beer. While Dennekohl was
serving his friends Blake drew pistol
and threatened 10 shoot if drinks were
not served Dennekohl Immediately
made rush for the man, telling him to
the floor with a blow on the head He
then sprung at collignon, who also had

Cornelius Is Named
Carmen S Arbitrator
Men and Trackworkers
Reject Calhoun,s Offers.

Refusing to accept Worthington as
their representative on the sttike arbi-
tration board, the Carmen's Union last
night selected it's president. Richard
Cornelius, to act for it, and demanded
a separate consideration of their diff
culties apart and distinct from the con-
sideration of the grievances of the al
lied unions.
The reason for this action is said to
have been a lack of sympathy between
Livernash and Cornelius and the other
labor leaders. The result is that each
the United Railroads separately from
the others.
The other important developments of
the day were the settlement of the
open shop question, so that the COM
pany will continue to employ the men
who were engaged while the union men
were out on strike. and the refusal by
two unions of Calhoun's peace offers.
TEN PER CENT is REFUSED.
A direct offer of 10 per cent increase
in wages was made yesterday to the
carmen by President Calhoun and re-
jected by the executive committee OF
their union.
When told that the union had voted
to decline his offer and pass the entire
question to the arbitration board, Cal
houn said:
We'll, l wanted the men to. know
that this was what l had intended do
ing If there had been no strike. II
would have placed the three-year men
on basis of a little better than SO for
ten-hour day, and so per cent of the
carmen have been with the company

The offer as made to the union was for
a straight raise of 10 per cent in wages
without change of the schedule of.runs

Ex-District Attorney Lewis F. Bying-

Should he succeed in this it would
mean that the Independence League

There is everything to Indicate. how

return to the uncomfortable bed they

NO CHANCE FOR DOODLE DEEs.
Notwithstanding this. the effort to
make Langdon the nominee Will be
made Around this endeavor will re-

convention Upon the issue will de-

zation and that Of San Francisco. Those
who are following the situation de-
clare that the Democracy still has can

Doodle Dees, and that the time has not
yet come when Doodle Dee may hope
to sit in the Governors chair

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

, SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
NEW YORK, Sept s.-Serious diff
culties have been encountered by the
managers of the Independence League
over their plans to nominate only Will
liam r. Hearst at the State conven-
tion of the league. to be held in Car
negie Hall on Tuesday. leaving the re-
mainder of the candidates to be named
by a committee appointed after the
Democratic State convention has been
held in Buffalo.
So pronounced has the opposition to
this. plan become that Hearst has
taken personal charge of the situation
and today attended a meeting of the
executive committee of the league, at
which plans for the convention were
discussed. Desiring to perfect deal
with the Democratic leaders of the
State by which they shall name Hearst
as the head of the ticket, in return for
which the league will indorse the re-
nrainder of the Democratic ticket, the
leaders of the league have encountered
unexpected opposition on the part of
the minor leaders from the interior of
the State since their plans became
known These leaders favor an en-
tirely independent ticket and intend
to make fight in the convention to
name a full ticket. The managers of
Hearst's candidacy naturally oppose
this plan as they realize that If the
leagues convention names it's entire
ticket all hope of making deal with
the Democrats at the Buffalo, conven-
tion will be lost.
Consequently they are looking about
for arguments by which to sidetrack
the men who favor the naming of a
full ticket. One of the arguments put
forward today was that unless the
league obtained the Endorsement OF
the Democratic convention all hope OF
electing Hearst would be lost, as the
league would have no share in the

tempt to brush it away is not so diff
cult as is generally supposed" remark

that he had given little tea party and,
without the knowledge of his wife, had
substituted the painted saucers for the
plain ones. His amusement consisted
in observing the Mortified expression OH

which they put them down again to

ana It corresponds exactly with the
matter of which meteorites are COM
posed
In plain language, the whole Of that
vast mass of rock fell on earth from
the skies at some late period of the
worlds formation. This is rather stag
gering, but it must be remembered
that there is a mountain In Arizona
which is acknowledged by'ali scientists
to be a meteoric mountain. And dia-
monds are being found at that spot.
Diamonds are found practically in
superficial layers of the earth's crust.
That is another proof of their celestial
origin. Further, the diamond crystals
are formed like no others that are of
earthly origin. This is regarded as a
strong proof that they fell from above
1t is curious that our diamonds are
not perfect and that some of them
when first brought from Kimberley
mines and exposed to the air explode
and crack into several pieces. Now,
the stones which come down in meteor
ties also explode when they are taken
from the protecting mass which covers
them completely. This is due to the
peculiar conditions which prevail
where the stones are produced. and
these conditions cannot prevail on the
earth, as the oxygen prevents them.
In order to make diamond 1t is nee
essary that the constituents should be
very hot and then cooled quite sudden
ly Nothing else will account for the
peculiar shape of the crystals and the
general formation of the gem. The
earth did not cool suddenly, and so the
gems could not have been produced on
this planet.
In every spot where diamonds are
found the ground is of nature which
exactly resembles the matter of me-
teorites and is different from other lay
ers of the earth's surface. The best
places to find them should be in the
lands toward the south pole.
The nearer the south pole the more
chance of discovering diamonds, and
the probability is that If man ever
reaches that end of the earth and dis
covers that it Is not a sea of ice. but
plain of solid land covered with snow.
then he will also find that it is the rich
est diamond mine In the world.
This curious fact of diamonds COM
ing to us from the sky opens up an
equally strange field of speculation.
Suppose there were to be small show
IL it has happened before. as scientists
contend, why shouldn't it happen
