FOE WOULD
INDORSE BRYAN.
Illinois to Declare For
Nebraskan No Matter
Which Faction Wins
LIVELY CONTEST

PEORIA, ILL.,, Aug. 20.--Wbether it
pleases him or not William j. Bryan
will be indorsed as the next Presiden-
tial candidate of the Democratic party
by the State convention, which will be
called to order here tomorrow morning
at II o'clock Mr. bryan will be in
dorsed notwithstanding the fact that
he announced that he did not care for
the approval of the Democrats of the
State officially expressed If Roger G.
Sullivan of Chicago We're allowed by
the convention to retain the position of
national committeeman, to which he
was elected in 1904.
1t is expected that there will be
stormy times in the convention, but all
debates will lead to. the same ending,
which will be the Endorsement of Mr..
Bryan as Presidential candidate. If
his friends are successful in their at
tempt to gain control of the conven-
tion he will be approved as a matter Of
course. If the men to whom Mr.. Bryan
has said that he is opposed are success
full in retaining control of the party
organization they will likewise indorse
him.
The friends of Mr.. Bryan have been
positive in their statements that If the
convention does not call for the res
ignation of Roger C. Sullivan as ma
tional committeeman from Illinois they
will fight with all their strength
against the passage of any resolution
indorsing the Nebraskan. If they are
not able to control the convention, and
the indications tonight seem to be
against them, they will be unable to
prevent the Endorsement from going
| through.
Both parties tonight claim that they
will control the. convention tomorrow.
Sullivan claims that he will have fully
80 per cent of the delegates and that
| he will carry the convention from first
to last without the slightest trouble.
The Majority Rule League, composed
of those men who are in touch with
Mr.. Bryan claim that this statement
| of Sullivan is absurd

WILL SUPPORT HEARST.
Leaders in Tammany Hall to Further
: His Gubernntorial Aspirations.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-There is no
longer any doubt that Charles F. Muir
ply and all the district leaders in Tam
many Hall tied UP with Murphy are for
Hearst, and in all the districts Murphy
controls delegates will be sent to the
State convention who will, unless the
present plan changes, favor Hearsts
nomination for Governor.
In about a dozen there will be pri-
mary elections, and in each instance
the so-called Murphy man is strong for
municipal ownership, and he is saying
that Mcclellan is opposed to it.
Murphy is keeping his own counsel.
One of his friends said today:
Murphy is for Hearst not because
he likes Hearst, but because the Dem
ocratic masses have gone crazy on the
radical issues raised by Hearst, and
Murphy has got to fall in line in order to
hold his organization together. He will
swallow the Hearst State ticket whole
with the municipal ownership plank,
no matter what sort of a ticket it is,
and the strong probability is that the
State convention will be captured abb
solutely by Hearst. If Hearst should
be elected Governor Murphy believes
that it will be the end of him, and that
the Hearst machine will then disinte-
CRATE and Tammany will retain control
of the election machinery in this

DIVORCED AND YET
NOT DIVORCED.

& SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
NEW YORK. Aug. 20.-One result of
the researches made by William NJ.
Jarvis of the Census Bureau at Wash
ington is the discovery that in several
cases where divorces were granted by
the defunct Court or Common Pleas,
prior to 1895, the judgment DEGREES
have not been entered. This omission
leaves these suits in exactly the same
condition as when they were started
Judges have often declared plaintiffs
in such actions should have DEGREES,
but owing to carelessness of some kind
the order for judgment has never been
submitted to the court, and consequent
1y no decree of divorce has been en-
tered or signed. The papers on record,
therefore are worthless.
In many cases the persons interested
have married. Such second marriages,
lawyers contend, are void and the chill
dren of such unions are illegitimate
and will remain so unless an act OF the
Legislature is passed legitimatizing
them The dover rights of a woman
thus married would also be seriously
affe ctod and complications of a nature
almost indescribable result.

MAY FoRsAKE .PARDEE.

RED BLUFF. Aug 2o-Politicians
here are wondering if the delegates
who were yesterday selected by the
Republican county central committee
of Tehama County will be able to de-
liver the goods to Pardee when the
convention meets in Santa Cruz. 1t
may be necessary for them to forsake
the candidacy of Pardee TO enable them
to swing some other delegation in line
for General N. P. Chipman for Appel
late Justice. Chipnan is a Red Bluff
man and the Tehama delegation is
pledged to his support. The Gillett
workers here feel confident that pres
sure can yet be brought to bear to
bring the local delegation under the
Gil1ett banner.
At the committee meeting resolutions
were adopted commencing the admin
istration of Governor Pardee. but the
same resolutions left a loophole of es-
cape for the delegates should they de-
eide to desert to Gillett, by also prais-
ing the Congressional record of the
man from Hum mboldt.

BANKRUPTCY GIVES
NINE GOOD LUCK.

A financial romance, beginning with
a story of bad management waste and
extravaganza, and climaxing into
golden success under the wings of q
bankruptcy court is in its concluding
chapters in the court of Milton ]. Green,
United States referee in bankruptcy.
The case is that of the Copper King.
Limited. corporation engaged in de-
veloping a copper mine in Fresno
County
On May 20, 1903, creditors filed a
petition alleging that the corporation
was bankrupt, and when the schedule
was filed 1t was found that the COM
pany owed $614.223 and had 100000
assets. The highest bid offered for
the property by Referee Green was
$4,000. Yesterday he announced that
after three years sojourn in bank
ruptcy he was able to promise that all
the creditors would receive dollar for
dollar of that vast Indebtedness out of
the earnings of the mine.
The Copper King, Limited, Is Brit
ish company promoted" by Frank l..
Gardiner. w. H. DAILY of three duck
fame, VINO was one of the best patrons
the manager. He bought piece Of
land at Bay Point, Contra Costa
County, and erected a smeiter, the
whole plant costing 100000.
Then it became apparent that there
was an excess of expenditure over in
come and the smelter was mortgaged
to the Crocker Woolworth Bank to se-
cure a loan of 100000. Then the
creditors threw the company into
bankruptcy. George w. Ade, a cousin
of George Ade, the humorist, was ap-
pointed trustee of the estate. The
mine had become flooded with water
and the trustee was granted permis-
sion to drain it and extract the ore
that had been blocked out The drain
ing was done at an expense of $500.
w. ]. Adams an expert, was employed
to examine the property and he re-
ported $4,000 tons of ore in sight. This
was worked up at net profit of $175,-
600, after deducting all expenses of
extracting and shipping to Tacoma to
be smeited. An additional sum of S10,-
600 was realized from the sale of per-
sonal property not needed. The mine
is now. being worked diligently and has
paid up to date $4,000 in dividends to
the creditors. The smelter was sold
at profit of $4,000 and the $780, 900
mortgage was wiped out.
Referee Green reports plenty of ore
in sight and expects that within a
short time enough will be realized from
the proceeds to pay the creditors dollar

FAST TRAINS
FOR THE VALLEY.

The Southern Pacific Company an
nounced through it's general passenger
department yesterday that on January
1, 1907, the Bay Shore cut-off would
be completed and that a new and fast
schedule of trains would be put on the
run between San Jose, way stations
and San Francisco. The new schedule
will bring San Mateo within from
twenty-five to thirty minutes of San
Francisco, Palo Alto and Stanford Uni
versity from forty to forty-five minutes
and San Jose sixty minutes. Half-hour
trains will be run during the entire
day for suburban traffic and night
trains will be put on as soon as the
travel warrants.
With this announcement comes an
other to the effect that trains will be
run regularly along the old line
through Colma and along the row of
cemeteries to Baden. A regular sehed-
ule will be maintained. While the
Southern Pacific officials will not ad-
nit that this line is to be transformed
into an electric road, yet they will not
deny that the company is considering
just such step. 1t is probable that
found able to accommodate the traffic
the work of Transforming the old road
into an electric line will be begun.
The great saving of time on the Bay
Shore cut-off will be made between
San Francisco and Baden. At present
this run takes from thirty to forty
minutes. On the cutoff the distance
will be covered in from fifteen to
twenty minutes.
If the present plans carry, through
commuter train from San Jose will he
run to San Francisco in the morning
and back at night. It is proposed to
give this same service to Palo Alto.
Probably all of the trains will not be
run through to San Jose, but will stop
at nearer points and return to San
Francisco.

MOURNED BY MANY.
The Death of Mrs. A Mcclellan Came as
Shock to Her Many Friends.

Last Friday this community, especial
ly the older residents, were shocked to
learn of the death of Mrs. Archie Nc
Lellan, which occurred at an early hour
that morning at her home in Huron
township, about eighteen miles west of
Langdon. Mrs Mcclellan had been sick
about three weeks, but it was only with
in few days of her death that the con-
dition of the patient caused any alarm.
Mrs. Mcclellan was one of the early
settlers in this part of the county and
up to the time of her marriage two
years ago, as Miss Rose OConnor she
was known as one of the county's most
efficient and faithful school teachers.
Together with the bereaved husband
she leaves an aged father, Mr.. Francis
O'Connnor, srer, Mrs. B. Heating and
brother, Peter O'Connor, all of whom
have the sympathy of friends and
neighbors. The funeral was held Sun
day afternoon, the services at the
Catholic church in this city being at
tended by large number of deceased's
friends, who in spite of the long dis
tance followed the remains from the
home nearly twenty miles away to the
place of their interment in this city.

DRUG STORE BLAZE.

Tuesday evening at about six o'clock
a telephone message from Milton
brought to Langdon the news that the
drug store property of DR.. j. j. Reilly,
at that place had been destroyed by FIRE.
The meagre information contained in
the message gave little IN the way of
particulars, further than that the drug
store was total loss and that little if
any damage had been sustained by ad-
joining property on either side. The
