Upon Fraud
SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE CALL

OMAHA, judy 29.-Hurling Bryan's
own words in his teeth, Victor Rose
water, editor of the Bee, in an open
letter today charged that the Nebraska
democrats are, through a trick of the
primary ballots. seeking to steal the
pOpulist vote OF the state, to take it
from Watson and to give it to Bryan.
If the larceny of property, said
ROsewater, referring to Bryan's speech
before the civic forum of New York last
February, breaks the commandment no
less when through the operation of the
law than when in violation of the
law I ask you, Mr. Bryan, If the lar
ceny of something more priceless than
property, namely, the unpurchasable
votes Of the people, is not equally rep
rehensible whether the theft is COM
mitted in violation OF the law or under
cover of legal teGlnicalities."
Rosewater has filed protests with the
secretary of state. against the demo-
cratic plan to have the democratic
electors designated as democratic and
populist. In his open letter he tells
Bryan: If this plot succeeds you will
have the benefit of the votes intended
to be cast for Thomas J.. Watson as
well as those intended to be cast for
you. ] appeal TO youS to put your stamp

San Francisco and Honolulu. Rhodes
paid $40 a share for his stock. He
later found. he charges, that the COM

and that no work was under way at
San Francisco.
Robinson has been at the St. Fran

for liberality in his expenditures. He
carries with him recommendations from

WRECKERS RESOLVE TO
SAVE STEAMER ANUBIS
Diver Proposes to Reset Plates
on Hull and Move Vessel
From Rock
SPECIAL DISPATCH no THE CALL


SANTA BARBARA, July ga dar-
ing divers exploration of the bottom
of the wrecked steamer Anubis has
resulted in the determination of the
wrecker's crew to save the. ship, if
possible. by a unique method The
ship is resting on even keel on a reef,
about $50 feet of her amidships being
on rock, directly under the engines
and boiler. The rock, instead of being
hard and unbreakab1e, seems soft, and
the bottom of the ship, so far as the
diver could find, was not so badly
smashed as was a. first believed.
The diver proposes to drill new holes
in the steel plates of the ship and re-
set the torn off plates with bolts or
plugs. The forward and after holds
are uninjured and from these the
water viii be pumped. a donkey en-
gine has been set up on deck and when
the two holds are cleared of water the
freight will be removed.
Two great anchor cables have been
trailed astern, and when the ship is
lightened full tide probably Will en-
able the wreckers to move her from her
position. This operation will take a
week. the wreckers say, and its success
depends upon the continuance OF the
present favorable weather.
The Wrecker Greenwood, Captain Nell
son. arrived here this evening for a
cargo of fresh water for the wreckers.
Captain Nelson declared that, provd-
ing the weather holds good. the ship
will be hauled off. Steam schooner
Westport is alongside the wreck, load
ing today, and the Bee and the Full
ton, two other steam schooners, started
two days ago for San Francisco with
loads of damaged freight. The camp
on Flea island has been abandoned and

Jail and to take out negro Leander
Shaw. who today assaulted Mrs. Lii
Jan Davis near here.
The mob numbered probably thou

no apparent indication until two hours
later that the crowd which completely
surrounded the Jail contemplated MAX

The first indication of trouble was
when a railroad iron was brought
into play by about a dozen men on

yells and curses, dashed for the jail
entrance. Some climbed oyer the tall
iron fence, while others hammered
upon the gate.

to prove that a court of equity cannot
be invoked TO restrain the performance
OF political acts.
Barrett summed up his long argument
byedeclaring that the question did not
rise 10 the dignity Of a political ques-
ton; and that if il did, it was covered
by section 1886 OF the political code
and, consequently a court of equity
could not take cognizance Of it,
DAM DIsPELS ARGUMENT
T. II. Dam began his argument for
the auti-Herrin plaintiffs by reading
the language Of section 1856, laying
emphasis on the words more than one
body lie argued that there was moth
ing 20 show the existence Of two bodies
claiming to be the county committee
BY a brief recital OF facts he showed
that ii was q dispute within the coun-
" committee between members who did
not question the right of one another TO
the designation. He denied that il was
a mere political difference within the
legal meaning of that phrase and
showed that not only political but also
civil and property rights were at stake.
He described the property acquired so
mysteriOusly by the Sullivan Forbes
committeeman and added
Perhaps they are collecting money
10 pay their attorneys"
Your, clients won't have to-" re-
torted Barrett.
III concede that II you'll concede

Dam went on TO argue that, unless
restrained, the minority of the com
mittee would incur expenses for which
the entire body would be liable
They viii make US liable" he said
while we sit idly by. unable to pre-
vent them from doing so"
No PROTECTION WITHIN PARTY
Dam showed that there was no pro-
lection for his followers within the
party and no remedy at law. wherefore
il was necessary TO sue for writ in a
court of equity.
Counsel would like to have this
come before the state executive COM
mittee," he concluded, instead of be-
fore a court Of equity. They would be
more confident Of the result"
Dibble developed Barretts argu-
ment that section 1886 relegated the
question TO Herrin's executive com
mittee. He said the section was framed
10 meet just such an emergency; that
two persons constitute a body. and
that, therefore, there were two bodies
within the meaning Of the law. He
insisted that it was a political ques-
tion, because there had been no prayer
for an adjudication OF property rights
or for any other redress. Then Dibble
grew tragic.

cred, when the courts of my country
