MRS. CLEVELAND THANKS
 FRIENDS THROUGH PRESS


 Princeton. N. J.. July 7:-So great has been the number of messages of coincidence received by Mrs. Grover Cleveland since the death of the former President that Mrs. Cleveland has found 1t impossible to make personal responses to all of them. Therefore she today gave to the Associated Press the following communication In ac- knowledgment of these messages;
 Princeton, N. J.. July ., 1908.
 "In our great grief there have come to my children and myself from allover the country and from other lands. ex- presslons of condolence in our be- reavement and of a participation in our sorrow, My heart Is touched by these and by all the tributes paid to Afr. Cleveland in the word and act. I am deeply grateful for the comfort that God gives in this way. regret that the multitude of these messages rem ders it impossible for me to send a personal word of thanks for each. The press had kindly offered to bear for me this expression of my own and my children's gratitude and appreciation, and hope it will reach all who have thought of him and of us.

The Possibilities of DspatursA AleohO

The Possibilities of Denaturea Alcohol, Saturday Evening Post.
 Until very recently 1t has been iIn- possible to buy in this country the spe- clal stoves, heaters and lamps suited for burning denatured alcohol. A New York company, said to be the first in the field, opened a shop last December to sell such appliances. By New Year 1t was pleading for breathing space to take care of orders. Yet 90 per cent, of all the apparatus 1t handles either comes direct from Germany or is man ufaetured here on German rights
 So this industrial alcohol problem begins. first of all. with the inventor. Ten years from now we may have pointed out to us certain affiuent me- chanical geniuses who, obscure and poor in 1908. had the acumen to set in on the gropSd floor with an alcohol stove or lamp.
 Again. the comparison of cost be- tween a gallon of gasoline and one of denatured alcohol has misled a lot of good people who haven't looked into the matter further. In Germany this product is sold by the barrel at 27 cents a gallon. In the United States it may be had wholesale for 36, and the whiskey trust is putting out gal lon bottles of the new fuel under pat ented trade names at 46 cents If gas Oitne ana AlCOnOl NSESEcQucl III HtAA~ ing gavue. gallon for gallon. the form CT would be cheaper. But they are not equal. The first feature of an alcohol stove or lamp that impresses the ob- server is the small size of it's fuel re- servior One of the German stoves, for instance. with two burners like those of g gas stove, is capable of cooking a meal. consuming only two- hfths of a pint of alcohol an hour It will heat water and do other work of light character at the rate of one-sixth of pint, bringing cost down to about q cent and a quarter an hour. One quart of alcohol in a special lamp gives a 150-eandls power incadescent light for twelve hours. A S25-candie lamp burns sixteen hours with a gal lon, lighting a large interior like a riding academy. Alcohol Is intensely hot as fuel. so that in a family of three persons all the cooking has been done for an entire month with three gallons, at a wholesale cost of SlI0, as against a for the same work from anthracite coal
 Congress has thought of q bounty of is eants On each gallon of this fuel produced by a farm distiilery, az a means of helping the young industry cut it's teeth. Theorists say that the wastefui methods of the American

Denver, Colo. July s.--The commit tee on Resolutions of the Democratic National Committee will not report to the convention until Thursday.
 At o'clock this morning the sub- committee which is drafting the plat- form, adjourned until 9 a. m. today at the suggestion of Senator Stone of Missouri. The full committee was in- structed to assemble at p. m. today, at which time the subcommittee ex- poets to be able to report. The conven- ton will be asked today to meet at 10 o'clock on Thursday and 1t is the plan to have the report ready for pre- sentation at that time, with the idea of having 1t disposed of by noon.
 Denver, Colo, July 7.--rmmediately after being caliei to order at 5:s0 o'clock. the Platform Committee of the Democratic National Convention proceeded to carry out the wishes of Mir. Bryan by selecting Governor Charles N. Haskell. of Oklahoma, as permanent chairman.
 The committee then decided to en- trust the details of the preparation of the platform to . subcommittee of seventeen members to be appointed by ments were announced. the full com mittee listened to arguments in sup port of various blanks which will be offered for adoption.
 The first of the hearings was on the subject of the Improvement of the in- land waterways On this subject. ar- guments were made by Congressman RansdelI. of Louisiana, president os the recent National Rivers and Har- hors Congress: H. T. Clark of Omaha and Governor Broward of Florida. Mir. Broward took the position that q lib- era1 pronouncement in favor of the im- prcvement of the water courses of the interior would prove the means of ob- taining many votes in such states as New York. Illinois and Ohio and there fore urged the proposition as matter of practical politics. Mir. Clark asked for the approval of plan for the im- provement of the waterways which contemplates the issue of $500, ,oO0, ,00a in bonds for that purpose.
 Mir. Ransdeli contended that as the government controls the rivers and lakes 1t should improve them and he asked for the endorsement Of a plan looking to a much more liberal ap- propriation of money than is now made in this interest. He said that the cost of transportation on the great lakes is only one tenth of the cost of trans- |portation by rail.

 E. R. Fuller. representing the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firefnen, Engineers and Trainmen. presented and argued for the Identical injunction plank he iaid before the Republican Convention. The plank endorses the right of iaborers to strike and to per suade others to do so.
 At the conclusion of Mir. Fuller's re- mark. Governor Haskell called upon Johnt Mitchell. the labor leader and prospective viee-Presidential candi- date. to address the committee.
 Mir. Mitchell said he had purposely refrained from speakong because the question was one needing forceful and impassioned discussion. and hts per- sonai experience wa such almost to preclude him from such impassioned discussion.
 Mir. Mitchell declared himself a Democrat. and In a general way urged the committee to prepare a platform as could receive the support of labor.
 At this point. Chairman Haskell an- nounced the appointment of the sub committee as follows. the number be- ing nineteen instead of seventeen as originally proposed:
 Haskell. Oklahoma. chairman; Mar tin, Alabama. Thomas, Colorado; Al- schuier. Illinois: Lamb. Indiana; Suili- van, Iowa; Beckham. Kentucky. Will Hams, Massachusetts: Noel, Mississippi: Stone.

Denver. csl. July 7.--The creden- tials Committee met at o'clock in Fraternity Hall. but was delayed for some time Tn beginning it's work be- cause of the lack of stenographer. Christopher c. Callahan of Holyoke Mass. was elected Chairman and D. H. Linebaukh of Atoka, Ok, was made
 Five States and the District of Co., iumbia gave notice of contests and ar- gument onr each was limited to thirty minutes with unlimited time for pres entation of evidence. The State mo- tices were received from Pennsylvania Idaho. Illinois. Ohio and New York. It was decided that all committeeman whose States were involved in the con- tests should be excluded from the room until adjudication was made In the fights, in, which they were interested
 The first case taken up was Idaho When the Committee had been in ses- sion for three hours the Idaho case was still under consideration and Attorney John F. Nugent of Idaho. who Is con ducting the contest. was still busy with the second witness. The limitation of thirty minutes a side applying only to the arguments. and there being no i'm itation upon the amount or duration of the taking of evidence, 1t began to look as If the Idaho case might last all night and indefinitely delay the hearing of the Pennsylvania and other contests
 The Idaho cases Involve the entire State delegation--fourteen seats.
 After an extended executive session the Committee decided that 1t would be proper to hear the evidence offered by the contestees and the hearing accord ingly began in open session.
 The vote of the Committee as 10 whether the contestees would be heard was 2s to is. The discussion was heat cd at times, and the interest of the sn- tire Committee was aroused.
 AS soon as the open session was re- sumed Attorney Jackson opened for the eontestees. The members of the Committee who were without dinner were growing impatient at the amount of time consumed by the Idaho people MT. Jackson's argument tended to show that the Dubois faction had a clear majority of the Twin Falls con @ention. claiming is5 i-2 votes to 100 i-2 for the contesting delegation. He was interrupted almost every mo- ment by questions of the Committee men.
 Former Senator Dubois made the closing arguments for the contestees. Hesdenounced the Mormons in vigorous terms. saying that they are not and never have been Democrats. The oon- testants desired to offer further evi- dence but the Committee refused to hear 1t and at HIS the case was closed after the hearing had continued for ex- actly six hours
 At il:3o o'clock the Committee took recess for an hour. It was deter mined to announce no decisions untIi after all contests are heard. After the recess the case of Illinois will be taken.
 When the Committee met following the adjournment 1t was announced that all remaining cases would be giv- en thirty minutes each for the presen- tation of evidence and for arguments. The Illinois eases were taken up in ex- eeutive session.
