GENERAL NEWS GATHERED
ON THE RIVER FRONT

The river schooner Earl Biscoe of the
| Carter fleet of wood and lumber carriers is
at Benefits boatyard to be fitted with new
masts and to have other repair work done
that will fit her for active service on the
river during the coming summer. Several
weeks ago an examination developed the
fact that the spars of the vessel were In
need of attention, and it was determined TO
replace them with new sticks. The new
masts were built at Benefits and when the
Biscoe arrived here few days ago her old
masts were removed. The new spars will
be placed On the boat and she will be
taken to rhe navy yard and the big derrick
there will be used to step the masts. The
work OF fastening them in place and set
ting up the rigging will be done at the To-
cal boatyard.

Fraternity night will go down in history,
SO far as the crowd Is concerned, as per-
haps the most successful of the present
Masonic fair. Between 10000 and 1900
people crowded themselves into the hall,
and more than once the doors had to be
closed to avoid absolute congestion.
Over 300 members of the Red Men, head
ed by George E. Baxter, great sachem. and
Mrs W. s. Callum, head of the White
Eagle Council. were in attendance with
their paint, feathers. tomahawks and knives
very much in evidence. Among the other
fraternities represented were the Odd Fell
lows. Knights Of Pythias, Modern Wood
men. Elks, Eagles. Knights and Ladies Of
the Maccabees. Knights of Honor, a num-
Der Of temperance bodies, the United Order
of the Golden Cross, Royal Arcanum, Ma
tional Union. Knights of Columbus, knights
Of the Golden Eagle and the Knights of
Malta.
Representatives of these different organi-
cations formed In line at 18th street and
New York avenue, the site of the new Ma
sonic Temple, and marched-500 strong
to the hall. They arrived at Convention
Hall about 3 O'Clock and were escorted to
the speakers stand by b. F.. Smith, presi-
dent Of the board of control. who In short
address extended welcome on behalf OF the
board. Hugh Harvey of the Elks. ID. w.
of the Red Men, and Mrs. w. 8. Callum of
the White Eagle Council responded. ex-
pressing their pleasure and appreciation Of
courtesies, and wishing the fair great sue
cess.

The antics of the Red Men, who appeared

of genuine Amusement during the evening
for the youngsters in attendance. There
was nothing but fun from the time they
came until they went home.
Mr.. Roe Fulkerson was the subject of a
pretty good joke. AS he was walking
through the hall. bedecked with badges of
six committees Of each of which he is mem
Der, a young lady espied him and cried out
to one of her friends: "Oh. Isabel, come
over here and look in the window at the
pretty things!' Shortly afterward Mr..
Fulkerson disappeared from view.
One good term turn deserves another,
speaking of the picture show conducted by
the B. B. French Lodge at the south end
Of the hall. The success attending its NOV
tngpicture show last year encouraged the
members to duplicate it at this fair and the
crowds pouring in there at every perform
ance shows that their Judgment was good.
The show is first-class and the films and
projecting machines are regarded as of the
best. Then there is an incentive-a person
can sit down and rest after trudging
through the crowds.

wells is also one Of the best patronized in
situations at the fair. Martha Washington

presented to Acacia Lodge by w. R.
Speare, Is to be voiced" to the most
popular master of a blue lodge. The ladies
are paying lot of attention to a robe do
mated by Parker, Bridget & Co. to this
lodge and wondering who will get it.
One Of the main attractions at the fair
Is the Chinese booth. presided over by Miss
Eta Austin. Two Cinnamon. with long
queues and sallow compilations. deal out

packages are unknown and those who draw
prizes are requested to open them before
leaving the booth. Nothing but wearing APP
parel is handled at this booth.
The proceeds Of last week amount to
nearly $2.a)O more than those OF the first
week Of the fair Ave years ago. This has
encouraged the members to such an extent
that they are confident that all records will
be broken before this week Is ended.

AGAINST ROOSEVELT LEAGUE.
It Must Eliminate Objectionable
Clause Before It is INCORPORATED.

NEW YORK, April 23.-The application OF
Bella Tokaki and others of this city for a
certificate of incorporation of the National
Roosevelt League was denied yesterday by
Justice Bischoff in the supreme court. The
principal object of the proposed organiza-
ton was ito aid in securing by all parties
and citizens of all parties, irrespective Of
political affiliations. the nomination of
Theodore Roosevelt to succeed himself as
President Of the United States
The petition declares that present politi-
cal parties and large numbers of public
men, notwithstanding their public profess
sions, are entirely too attached to govern
Ing the people for a party and by party,
or of class for class by a class It
was to this latter portion of the petition
that Justice Bischoff offered exception. He
took the ground that while these allega-
tons may be proper subject for debate
they are not proper when placed In formal
articles of Incorporation.
He therefore refused to affix his signature
to the certificate until the improper matter
shall have been eliminated.

To the Editor OF the New York Times
Received your asking for an expression as
to whom the democrats Of Nebraska will
favor for the presidential nomination in
1908.
We are for Mr.. Bryan first, last and all
the time.
Mr.. Bryan has gained steadily in our
state. and If nominated will carry Nebras-
ka. in my judgment
1 feel that If we did not have Mr. Bryan
to put at the head Of the ticket we would
favor southern man for first place. but
as long as he is on earth we will be for
him against anybody else.

WAVERLY, Iowa. April 10.
To the Editor of the New York Times:
Replying to your recent favor, beg to
state that Bryan appears to be the only
man who Is being considered by the dem
ocrats of this state, he appearing to have
gained rather than have lost in popularity.
The fact that no other candidate is being
considered either here or elsewhere makes
1t difficult to answer your last question.
but l am convinced that the fact of
candidates hailing from the south would
not be to his disadvantage among demo-
Gratis of this state. c. w. MILLER.

To the Editor of the New York Times:
Here are my answers to your questions
Q-What candidate for the nomination
would be most acceptable to democrats in
your state? A.-W. ]. Bryan.
Q.-Has Mr.. Bryan gained or lost popu-
larty among democrats in your state?
A.-Gained.
Q.-Would the democrats of your state
favor the nomination Of candidate from
the south? A.-After we elect Mr.. Bryan
for two terms, then a man from the south.
Oklahoma is for Mr.. Bryan first, last.
