PICTURES ON THE WALL.
Strange Scenes Create Much Excite
ment in Hancock

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HANCOCK, Md, April 20.-Intense ex-
element prevails and people are preparing
for the end of the world as the result
of a series of remarkable pictures repre-
senting scenes that look like heaven and
hell that has appeared on the walls of a
room in the house of Emory Lopp in Nor
gan county, w. Va. two miles from here.
Persons who have viewed the pictures state
that no human hand could have placed
them there. The whole neighborhood is
aroused over the strange affair and crowds
of people visit the house daily. The su-
perstitious believe that the pictures fore
tell some catastrophe, probably the end
of the world. The pictures appear in dis
tinct outline on the four walls, showing
pits of flames and demons with angels and
beautiful scenes supposed to be heaven
opened Lopp is at loss to understand
the mystery and has abandoned his home.
=, thorough investigation Of the matter
will be made by persons who are skeptical
of the mystery.

BRYAN AND THE TARIFF
Committeeman DahIman Says
He Will Insist Upon Reform.
NO GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
Democratic Platform is Already Map
ped Out, It is Reported.
WILL CONTAIN RADICAL CHANGE
Acceptance of Campaign Contributions
From Trusts and Corporations
to Be Condemned.
WILL CONTAIN RADICAL CHANGE

OMAHA, Neb., April 20.-The democratic
national platform of 1908, if W. J. Bryan
controls the convention, will not demand
absolute government ownership of the rail-
roads. This was authoritatively announced
yesterday by James C.. Dahlman, national
committeeman from Nebraska. The state
ment is in the nature of an official an
nouncement for the reason that Mr.. Dahl
man is in close touch with Mr.. Bryan, and
recently has been in conference with him
over the plans and policies of the approach
ing campaign From the same source it
is stated that tariff reform will again be-
come dominant feature of the platform.
The platform, according to Mr.. Dahl
man, already has been mapped out and will
contain some radical changes from the
document adopted in 1904. While Dahl
man was not able to go into minute de-
tails he says the prominent planks in Mr..
Bryan's declaration of principles will con-
Germ trusts, the tariff. state regulation and
money, the railroad ownership plank, OF
course, being conspicuous by It's absence.
Constitutional Guarantees.
Constitutional guarantees will have a
strong Endorsement, and the acceptance of
campaign contributions from trusts and
large corporations will receive severe con-
demnation. The platform will define the
necessity for and proper. use of money con-
tributed for running campaigns.
Usurpation of power by the President
also will be made a strong point, and the
convention will be asked to declare that
President Roosevelt in this respect, well
as in the matter of accepting or APPROX
ing campaign contributions, has oVerStep-
ped true democratic principles.
Government Economies.
Government economies will receive the
usual attention and a halt will be demand
ed in naval extensions. 1t will be declar-
ed that the vast sums spent on armament
may be much better employed in irrigating
the plains of the west. Development OF
river navigation is to be Endorsed,
Election of senators by direct vote of the
people reformation of civil service rules
and strong foreign policy will be strong
" proclaimed and pledged.
No overtures of any sort are to be made
to the populists, beyond general invita-
ton directed to all classes to join forces
with the democratic party in an effort to
enforce the principles proclaimed and de-
manded in the democratic faith.

Much Interest in London.

LONDON April 20.-Great interest has
been aroused in scientific circles by the re-
markable number of earthquakes recorded
during the last few days from wel-popu-
lated centerS.
Reports from Mexico show that devasta-
ton has been wrought by shocks affecting
the central and southern portions of the re-
public. Serious volcanic eruptions are
spreading terror in Chile. and shocks have
been felt in the Philippines, Spain, Turkey,
Trans-Caucasia and in the United States.
Although some degree of Importance is at
tached by scientists to the recent appear
ancc of giant spots on the sun, it is point
ed out that this earth is the playthinS of
twelve distinct astronomical forces, the
chief one of which causes it to rush
through s2ace at the rate of &c. 900 miles an
hour.
Agitatians of the earth surface are not
CnIv due to many causes. principal among
which is the contraction of the crust. due
to gradual cooling of the Interior but are
virtually incesSant.
Camille Flammarian. the world-renowned
French astronomer believes that not a day
passes without an earthquake being felt in
some part of the globes surface.
Most of these shocks, however. occur at
he bottom of the ocean or in Sparscly in
habited countries, and are thus never re-
corded The remarkable feature about the
disturbances that have marked the last few
DAYS is that they have nearly all affected
populated districts and places within easy
communication of the rest of the world.

NO PRESTIGE IN UNIFORM
DECISION RENDERED AGAINST
YoEMAN BUENZLE.
The President to the Contrary,
Judge Sweetland Says the Sailor
Had No Equity.

PROVIDENCE, R. l., April 20.-Chief
Yoeman Fred ]. Buenzle. who was barred
from a dance hall in Newport because, as
he claims, he wearing the uniform
of the United States navy, can recover
at law only the price of his admission
ticket, according to decision handed down
by William H. Sweetland. chief presiding
officer of the Rhode Island upper court.
The decision, which is long and which over
rules the demurrers raised by the defend
ants, says the legal rights of a man wear
ing the United States uniform not diff
ferent from those of any well-behaved
person who possesses ticket of admission
to any place of amusement
Motives Immaterial.
This is the case the President interested
himself in. Judge Sweetland rules that
Buenzle, excluded because he was wearing
naval uniform, is in no different position
legally from one who is excluded because
he not in evening dress or for any other
reason, though it may have been but the
whlm of the defendant. The motives of
the defendant are held as immaterial In
other words, the judge said, the proprie
tors of a place of amusement are not under
any obligations to admit any person whom
they may choose to exclude. Later suit
was brought against the Newport Amuse-
ment Association, proprietorS of a dancing
pavilion at Newport, from which Buenze
claimed he was excluded last September
because he was wearing naval uniform.
The management rendered to him the %
cents he had paid for his ticket, but Buen-
Zle Immediately brought suit for damages.
He was given financial support by naval
officers stationed at Newport, and President
Roosevelt sent check to help defray the
expenses of prosecuting the case
Not Action for Damages.
The court holds also that the action is
not properly one for damages for the
wrongful exclusion of the plaintiff but is
an action for breach of contract, because
of the failure of the defendants to carry
out the contract they made when they
sold the ticket. This conveys only the re-
cOvery of admission price and the expense
incurred in attempting to obtain admission
to the pavilion.
On the breach of contract phase of the
case the demurrers of the defendants are
overruled and they are ordered to plead
on or before April so
