NJ DAKOTA DELEGATES CLASH
Serious Charges Preferred Against
State Central Committee
%
IN Associa ted Press.

MINOT. N. D., Aug. 2.-The prefer
ment of serious charges against B. s..
Brinjolfson of Grand Forks, chairman
of the Democratic state central COM
mittee, furnished the only exciting in
cident in the Democratic state conven-
ton in this city today.
Silver Serumgard, candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor,
openly charged Brnjolfson with spirit
ing away George Wilkinson, who stat
ed at the Democratic national conven-
ton at st. Louis in 1904 that the North
Dakota delegation had sold out to
Parker for $1,000 each.
Mr.. Serumgard said that Wilkinson
promised to sign a written retraction
and that owing to Brinjolfson's infu-
ence he disappeared.
The charge precipitated a fight in
the convention between Senator John
l.. Cashel of Grafton and Brinjolfson
for chairman of the new convention.
Cashel won by vote of lac to LOG.
Brlnjolfson denied the charge. Other
wise the convention was free from Incl
dent. The following ticket was nomi-
mated:
Congressmen-A. G. Burr, Bottineau;
John d. Benton, Cass.
Governor-John Burke, Ramsey.
Secretary of state-A. B. Berg,
Griggs.
Auditor-Frank Reed, Burleigh.
Treasurer-F. M. Mcgee, Traill
Attorney general-D. c. Greenleaf,
Minot.
Insurance commissioner-C. H. An
her.
Justice of supreme court-C. j. Fisk,
Grand Forks, four years; d. E. Nor
gan, Ramsey, six years.
State superintendent of schools
Mrs. Matte M Davis Cass.
Labor commissioner-Juli Wirkus,
Walsh.
Railroad commissioners-Terr Nc
Kosher, Grand Forks; William Schultz,
Barnes; William Schuett, Richland.
Bryan was unanimously Endorsed for
president by the 415 delegates. The
Nebraskan was called the greatest
friend of the working people and his
election was predicted.

BOYS INJURIES PROVE FATAL
Youth Burned in a Gasoline Explosion
Near AIamitos Sugar Fac

Special TO The Herald.

LONG BEACH, Aug. 2.-Gordon Mil
lard, the 7-year-old boy who was
burned yesterday in an explosion of
coal oil near the Alamitos sugar fac
tory, east of here. died today.
Rufus Finally, the sugar factory en-
ploye who caused the explosion and
then attempted to rescue the boy, was
painfully but not seriously burned.
The boy was the son of Lewis Millard,
a hay dealer, who lives at the corner
of Elliott street and Temple avenue.
With his father and an older brother
the boy had gone to that locality to
get a load of hay. While the father
was engaged in his work the two boys
entered the cook house and began
building a fire. 1t did not burn well
and Finally, who came up, took a coal
oil can and poured some of it's con-
tents upon the smoldering flames. A
terrific explosion followed. Young
Gordon was caught by the mass of
flaming oil.
Literally covered with the burning
fluid, it is said, the lad ran into the
open. Several men seized him and
rushed to a watering trough to quench
the blaze Finally assisted the injured
boy and received painful wounds.

PASADENA, Aug. 2.-President D.
NJ. /Linnard of the Pasadena board of
trade announces that the directors of
that organization have secured in sub
scriptions $4,000 to be devoted to the
proposed boulevard between Pasadena
and Los Angeles.
To make up this amount ten leading
Pasadenans each pledged $3.50 and the
remaining $500 came in amounts some
what less but none of them less than
$100. The fact that it has taken but
twenty-four hours to raise the Crown
city's proportion of the total amount
required to construct the road is taken
as a certain indication that the citizens
of Pasadena intend to be in the front
ranks of those who support any COM
mendable project.
Within the next two or three days
the sum of money named above will be
made available for the purpose of con-
Struction. The committee will meet
with George S. Patton and plans were
laid for placing the whole matter be-
fore the board of supervisors Monday.
1t is believed that the board stands
ready to do it's full share. These
things accomplished, the work of con-
struction will be begun promptly and
pushed to completion as rapidly as pos
sible. 1t is probable that South Pasa-
dena will be asked to put the portion
of South Fair Oaks within its corpo-
rate limits in such condition that it
will conform to the general plan of
the boulevard.
The Pasadena-Los Angeles boule-
ward. as noted in The Herald a few
days ago in conection with a review of
the work of the county highway COM
mission is not the only boulevard in
which Pasadenans are interested, and
it is altogether probable that the work
so happily begun along this line will
not be allowed to stop where it is. An
important meeting of the highway
commission was held yesterday, but
it's conclusions then arrived at are not
yet ready for publication. These con-
clusions are likely to have much to do
with the question of good roads in this
vicinity and the continued interest of
Pasadena people
Residents of the Crown city are more
thoroughly awakened over the need
for better roads than they have been
over any other local demand for long
time.

VENICE, Aug. 3.-Mrs. Gala j.
Westfall, the local postmaster, and
Mrs. E. B. Taylor of Ocean Park re-
turned today from an extended trip of
exploration in the Santa Monica noun
tains.
Their wanderings took them through
the Topango, Las Flores and Coal can
yons
The object of the trip was to locate
good homestead claims, and in this
the ladies' claim to have succeeded be-
yond their expectations. Several large
pieces of land containing water that
had not been filed on and others which
they say can be taken because of the
non-fufllment of residence require
ments, were located, and 1t is their in
tention to form a small company for
gaining control of the best of these
properties for investment and residence
purposes.
During their travels the women slept
outdoors, cooked their own food and

ANNOUNCE BETTER SERVICE
Pasadena Merchants Succeed in OBJ
tanning Change in Main Line
Car Schedule
Special to The Herald.

l q.
PASADENA, Aug. 2-Announce-
ment has been made by Superintendent
Rowray of the Pacific Electric con-
firming the statement made in The
Herald a few days ago to the effect
that another change in the schedule of
the main line was about to be made.
So great has been the dissatisfaction
with the present service, both on the
part of Pasadena merchants and on the
part of South Pasadena residents wont
to make their purchases in the Crown
city, that the Pacific Electric people
have decided to give prompt relief.
On September | direct cars will begin
running between Pasadena and the
Ostrich farm and it is planned to give
a twenty minute service from the first,
with a better service should the traffic
demand it. Short Line cars will then
make no stops north of the Mission
street junction until reaching Pasa-
dena, local traffic being cared for by
the South Pasadena cars
1t is likely that Pasadena merchants
would prefer to have the change made
at once and they may probably seek to
have it commence sooner than an
nounced but the announcement noted
above will be welcomed as desired
relief from conditions which were
rapidly becoming most embarrassing.

PASADENA, Aug. 2.-Probably 1000
people listened to the open air concert
this afternoon In Library park given
by the Royal Italian band of Long
Beach. As ordinarily planned the
thirty-two members of the musical or
ganization were the guests of the Pas
adena board of trade while in the city,
benig dined at the Hotel Maryland and
escorted to the park by a committee
of the board. The applause of the
crowd during the program was so
hearty that Conductor Vessella re-
spOnded with several numbers not ON
the program
1t is understood that the visiting mu-
sicians were so well pleased at the cor
diality of their welcome here that they
may decide in the near future to give
a series of concerts here before the
band leaves this part of the state. To-
days concert is expected to stimulate
interest I'm the approaching Pasadena
picnic at Long Beach next week. Tick
cts are selling rapidly, and now the
Pacific Electric people have arranged
to carry people to the beach city In
through cars in competition with the
Salt Lake railroad. with which the
committee of arrangements originally
contracted for a special train and spe-
cial rates.
A long list Of prizes for those who
participate in the sports of the day has
been prepared by the committee. There
are to be about twenty events on the
days program of sports and three
prizes will be offered in each event.
The city council has authorized the
mayor to declare the day a civic holi-
day, and on the recommendation of
the usual closing committee of the
Merchants association practically
every place of business in the city will
be closed during the whole day.

plant Against Bakery

The Bakers union carried its war
against the Superior bakery before the
board of health last night and asked
that Health Officer Powers be removed
from office for what they call derelic-
tion in duty.
John Murray, secretary of the Pub
lie Ownership league, and connected
with the Central Labor council, and
John Geddis, president of the Bakers
union, with Hugh Cove, secretary of
the same, appeared before the board
of health and made the request.
They presented a petition in which
they stated that on July 26 they had
called the attention of Health officer
Powers to the condition of the hyperion
bakery. The bakers union has strike
on against this bakery. Health Of
ficer Powers, with one of his deputies,
made an examination of the bakery,
and, according to the union men,
claimed that it was no worse than lots
of other places doing the same kind of
business in this city. They claim they
were not satisfied with this and Sc

happened to be in the city, who also
Investigated and reported to Prosecutor
Beebe. The prosecutor ordered the
proprietor of the bakery to clean up
within five days.
Dr. Powers told the board last even
ing that he had made the inspection at
the request of John Murray and as
soon as he found what conditions pre-
vailed ordered the proprietor to clean
up and comply with the sanitary ordi-
nances of the city, but as there was no
ordinance covering the case he could
not prosecute.
Mayor McAleer gave Dr. Powers a
good character and told the representa- =
tives of the bakers union that there was
no city official in which so much trust
could be imposed as the health officer.
A special committee of the board was
appointed and an investigation will be
made.

To this end a sample of sand taken
from bank near here was sent to
the Bakersfield foundry, where it was
tested and the word came back that
it was the finest sand for foundry cast
ing of any yet discovered in Call

The company thereupon began to
make arrangements for the necessary
machinery, which is now on the way
here and will be installed next week.
In this cargo of machinery is a travel
ing crane capable of lifting ten tons.
A cupola will be built with a capacity
of three tons of castings per hour.
