A PLACE TO MEET.
Both Parties Giving Attention
Now to Selection of a
City.

Where to hold the next national con-
vention is also receiving some atten-
ton as we'll as the question of candi-
dates and platforms. So far no east
ern city has been mentioned, the tend
ency in late years having been steadi-
ly westward.
Chicago Is favorite convention city
for both parties and will very likely
be chosen by the Democrats again
next year, judging from expressions
made to the correspondent of the
Washington Post. 1t was the scene of
Mr.. Bryans first nomination in 1896,
and If the Nebraskan is to be again
the candidate, what would be more
appropriate than again placing the
laurel on his brow in the state of his
birth and one of the pivotal states in
the next election?
st. Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville and
Indianapolis will ask for the Demo-
cratic convention, but St. Louis will
not win. Democrats who attended the
1904 convention have too vivid a recol-
lection of the stew-like heat suffered.
Charles A. Edwards, secretary of the
Democratic congressional committee,
expressed it more forcibly. He says IL
the Democrats were to follow st. Louis
into hell they would all catch cold.
Besides, st. Louis has the reputation
of hOOdOo town. Mr.. Tilden was
nominated there and missed fire. Mr..
Cleveland was Endorsed there in 1888
and was defeated by General Harrison,
while Judge Parker's unhappy expert
ence of three years ago followed his
nomination at the Missouri metropolis.
Cincinnati, too, has reputation to
contend with. Mr.. Greeley, as a can
didate, saw the light there in 1872,
while the Republicans who four years
later nominated Governor Hayes there
had the closest shave of their lives at
the polls. Four years later still the
Democrats nominated General Han
cock there and were badly defeated.
Moreover, Cincinnati is the home of
Judge Taft and Senator Foraker, and
that may initiate against 1t next year
so far the the Republicans are con-
cerned.
Indianapolis entertained the Palmer
and Buckner party in 1896, and did it
very we'll. But maybe the anti-Fair-
banks people would not care to go
there. Though the Hoosiers are hos
pitable, they might be carried away by
enthusiasm for their own man and fail
to give the other fellows the squarest
of square deals.
Louisville awaits its first opportuni-
ty. The Charles O'Connor side show
of 1872 hardly counts. Fairbanks,
Cannon, Taft and Foraker are all its
neighbors. 1t has been adding to the
number of its hotels of late, and the
great armory building would require
only the erection of a stage and
colossal sounding board to answer the
purpose of convention hall.
Boomers from all quarters are at
work, although the two national COM
mittees charged with the duty of MAX
ing the selections will not meet until
next January.

on the appointment of an inland wa
terways commission to consider i'm
provement of the inland waterways.
They have come from the chamber of
commerce and the Business Mems club
of Cincinnati; the National River and
Harbor congress, signed by j. F. Eli
son; the Business Mems league of st.
Louis; the Lakes to the Gulf Deep
Waterway association; the Merchants
exchange of St. Louis; the municipal
council and various organizations of
Memphis, and from S. M. Nicely, the
vice president of the Tennessee and
Memphis branches of the Lakes to the

gist of the congratulations is that of
all the great measures the president
has advocated for the benefit OF com

that the president has arrived at the
real solution of the transportation

FRIDAY, MARCH %, 1907.
Poor 10 Appeals to Great White
Father at Washington to Pay
Him for Lands Taken Years Auo

Associated Press to The Evening Tlaes.
Washington, March 22.-Many and
divers troubles are now affecting the
Indians Of the north and within the
last few weeks several delegations
representing the Cheyenne Sioux, the
Utes, the Chippewas and other tribes
have visited Washington to tell their
grievances to the great white father.
Despite many disappointment and
much bad medicine served in the shape
of bullets from the guns of the pale
face soldiers, the nothern tribes re-
main firm in their faith that the big
chief at the nations. capital will right
all wrongs and alleviate all Ills from
which they suffer.
1t was this faith that recently
brought to Washington Head Chief
Falmouth and several other dignitar-
les of the Chippewa-Pi llager tribe of
Minnesota, with petition to the pres
ident asking for the payment OF
million dollars for 100000 acres Of
land coded to the government in 1S47
and for which 1t is alleged the tribe
has never received any compensation.
While here Chief Falmouth engaged
the legal services of Judge William
B. Matthews and 1t is stated that the
claim will be vigorously pushed.

the man whose greatest claim to fame
is as the ''discoverer" of that country.
The part played by Seward in the
Civil war as Lincoln's secretary of
state, his diplomacy in dealing with
Great Britain in the Trent affair" and
in compelling France to leave the
pretender Maximillian to his fate in
Mexico, may all be forgotten; but the
snow-clad hills of the land of gold are
monuments to his wisdom that will
last as long as the earth lasts.
When Seward completed the pur-
chase of Alaska from Russia forty
years ago, his enemies declared that
he had paid $7,200,0O0 far an unin-
habitable iceberg. Time has shown

Associated Press to The Evening Times.

DRY and his services to the nation.

Washington, March 22.-An order
has been issued by the interstate COM
MERGE commission providing that after
April l railroads operating under the
interstate commerce act must file dup
licate copies of their tariffs with the
commission. Heretofore the roads
have been required to file only one

clded to accede to it. The additional
copy will involve considerable expense
to the railroads.

Young Man Proposes to Get Work
Here and Remain With His Sister
as Long as Necessary-Lost Watch
en- Train.

After very troublesome and tire
some trip. Robert Bird and mis- son,
father and brother of Mrs Mamie Il.
Baker. arrived in the city yesterday
morning from their home near Wesar
\. c. At noon the couple called upon
Chief of Police Reynolds and learned
the particulars OF the case of the I'M
fortunate young woman who is chnrg-
ed with numbering her newly born in.
FAINT son.
Mr. Byrd seemed to be almost pros.
tratcd with grief over the affair llc
said that his wife. who Is old and
feeble. was i'll in bed as the result of
the news Which brought him to this
city. He told the chief that he pro
noses to employ the best lawyer to be
found in Newport News ana would do
everything possible to save his daugh-
ter.
Mr. Bird ami his son wee with
Baker during the afternoon and II is
understood that the husband as well
as the father and brother will stand
by the young woman
Mrs. Baker is still in ignorance of
the fearful charge which is hanging
over her head. She is steadily recov-
cring and it is only matter of DAYS
before she will be removed to the
ial. At this time 1t seems hardly
probable that she will secure freedom
on bail.
Mr.. Bird states that he vii be oblig.
cd to return home at the end of two
weeks, but that his son will secure a
position here and remain in the city
as long as there is anything that may
be done for the girl.
On his way up from North Caro-.
lima on the train. young Baker had
his pocket picked. losing new gold
watch and chain.
