SECOND ELECTION WILL
DECIDE SUNDAY CLOSING
Reported Secret Caucus of City
Council Will Call for
Another Ballot
sprcIAI. n1spArcu M run go

STOCKTON, July 27.-Notwithstand-
ing the great public Indignation meet
ing held late yesterday afternoon, it
is reported that at a secret caucus
today the city council declared its in
tention to hold second special election
on the issue of Sunday closing, as urged
by a petition filed and signed only by
the 102 saloonmen of Stockton The
council argues that the first election
was held at the request of the re-
formers and that now it is only fair
to call a second election at the request
Of the saloonmen. The fight is un-
usually bitter. The saloonmen and, in
fact. many of the more prominent
businessmen declare that if the election
is granted the ordinance restricting
saloons will be. repealed by a large
majority.
j. A. WALES, who spoke at the in
dignation meeting. laid emphasis upon
the fact that a great many people are
now away on their vacations and pro-
tested against the holding of an cleo
tion that would be decided not by the
home makers of Stockton but by a
floating population.
Calling attention to the fact that the
petition for another election had not
been signed by any businessmen out
side of the saloon keepers themselves
he declared the new movement was not
inspired by regard for the welfare of
the city, but was purely a selfish propo-
sition to add to the revenue OF the
saloon keepers at the expense of the
other lines OF business.

TAFT PREDICTS
GREAT VICTORY
Holds Important Conferences
Preparatory TO His NOti-
ficatiOn Today
Status of Senator Foraker in
Opening of Campaign to
Be Determined

CINCINNATI. July 27.-Two impor-
tant events politically resulted from
the meetings and conferences in the
fnal notification day preparations to-
cay. William II. Taft addressed a joint
meeting of the Ohio state central and
executive committees, identifying him
self closely with the state campaign
and making il plain that whatever had
been done by Arthur !. NOrys and other
state leaders had been recognized and
approved by him.
Just what is TO be the status Of Sen
ator Foraker at the opening Of the
campaign at Youngstown September D
is 10 be decided by a special committee
Of the state executive committee ap-
pointed today. The duty of this COM
mittee is to decide a speakers pro-
gram, with particular instructions to
report the inadvisability of inviting the
senior Ohio senator TO make an ad-
dress.
Il was stated that the committee
would consider the Foraker matter in
three aspects: Whether to invite him
70 speak unconditionally, TO invite him
on condition that he indicate in ad-
vance the position he is to take. OF not
10 invite him. No prediction could be
obtained as TO which of these courses
would be pursued or as to the probable
report the committee would make.
The state central committee settled
the three county contests in favor of
what is termed the simon pure Taft
men"
The Joint session OF the state cen
trsl committee and executive commit
tee held in the rooms of the Hotel
Ninton was largely attended. In call
ing the meeting TO order State Chair
man ". Z. Brown referred to the reso-
lutions Of the committee on its organi-
zation. declaring that the republicans
OF the state were in favor of Taft for
president and said that the present
meeting was a fruition of that action.
Chairman Williams of the executive
committee followed with an exhortation
70 earnest work during the campaign.
Governor Harris followed with en-
phasis on the value OF thorough organi-
cation for political effectiveness, and
Arthur J. Vorys spoke for some minutes
on the splendid ticket the state had to
work for.
Judge Taft's speech concluded the
meeting It was received with en-
thusiasm and was generously ap-
plauded. In concluding he said:
only came here 10 you that i hoped
fn this campaign in Ohio TO pull my weight
IN the boat snd TO be on the ground TO assist
IN the carrying to victory OF that banner which
republicans Of Ohio have always carried a
presidential campaign. Our friend. the enemy,
doubtful battle-ground. II that viii with

BOHfMIANS MAKE
READY FOR JINKS
Annual Encampment of Club Is
Opened and Members
Leave for Grove
Elaborate Production of Mytho-
logical Morse Drama Will
Be Given August 5

The annual encampment of the Bo-
hemian club opened yesterday and the
first installment of Bohemians left the
city for the grove, there to prepare
and make all ready for the jinks which
will take place August s.
The theme of the jinks is an i'm
posing one and the data for 1T has
been gathered amid the snowfields and
fords of NEUROLOGICAL Norseland. 1t
is entitled "Baldurs Sons" and was
written by Herman Scheffauer, who
will sire the jinks this year. The mu-
sic was written by Arthur Weiss.
The story is purely allegorical and
deals with the triumph of the sons
OF Baldur, the sun god, against the
Vaccinations of Loki, god of evil
The story opens with an introduction
by the three fates, the past, present
and future. Continuing, it tells Of
the anger of Loki, whose power wanes
amid the fellowship and brotherly love
and who, to regain 1t. casts on the
ground piece of gold as a trap.
Then enter the warriors of the north
under Halma, their chief, and discord
arises when two of the number SIM
ultaneously spy the gold and wrangle
as to whom 1t belongs. Halma and
a soothsayer stop the quarrel, but the
harm has been done. Darkness sets
over the land. The powers of evil
fare forth, the frightened white owls
fiit among the treetops, and the war
r1ors murmur among themselves that
the twilight of the gods has arrived.
In the midst of their dismay a terri
fed peasant runs in saying mammoth
dragon is approaching, and the war
rior band regainS its courage in the
knowledge of having only to do bat
tie with material enemy. The drag
on is slain and its head cut off and
buried, the burial of the head repre-
senting the burial of care.
Among the solos of the production
will be two by Mackenzie Gordon.
who takes the part of a minstrel. His
first will deal with wine, women and
love and his last will be the finale of the
piece. Vail Bakewell will sing song
of the dying warrior and l.. A. Lar
sen will give a drinking song. H.
Mcdonald Spencer will take the role
of Halma, the warrior chief; Roy Fol-
ger that of the soothsayer, and the
fates will be represented by Newton
Tharp and Edgar Peixotto. Charles
K. Field, the young author. will i'm
personate Loki, the god of evil; Charles
K. Norris will be the peasant.
Among the warriors will be Allan
Dunn. Frank Deering and Clifford Cole.
The part of Baldur Will be played by
E. Courtenay Ford. Apart from the
main characters there will be a chorus
of 60 voices under the management
of Harry Crandall. Frank Matthew
will be stage manager.

BRYAN'SSUBST|TUTE
IS DULY INITIATED
Democratic Candidate Is Admit
ted to Mysteries of the
Ak Sar Ben
Says the Backward Spelling OF
Nebraska Appeals Es-
peciaIIy to Him

OMAHA, July 27.-wnliam ]. Bryan
was tonight admitted to the mysteries
OF the knights OF Ak Sar Ben, an order
composed of the businessmen of Omaha
and the state of Nebraska. large
number of Lincoln businessmen came
10 Omaha to witness and participate in
the initiation. Bryan's welcome on his
return to Nebraska from his trip to
Chicago to meet the democratic lead
ers was strictly nonpartisan, but none
the less cordial. Arriving here at l
o'clock this afternoon, he was met by
a committee from the governing body
of the knights of Ak Sar Ben and es-
corted to the Omaha club, where lunch
con was served. At 2 o'clock he was
the speaker at a pole raising by the
John A Creighton democratic march
ing club. AT o'clock he was a guest
Of Ak Sar Ben directors at dinner at
the Omaha club.
Bryan spoke briefly. He was fol-
lowed by Congressman G. NJ. Hitch
cock, publisher of the Omaha World
Herald, Mayor James c. Dahlman and
Victor Rosewater. republican national
committeeman from Nebraska and pro-
prietor of the Omaha Bee.
BACKWARD APPEALS TO BRYAN
The name of the organization of
which he was the guest is the word
NeDIdSha SDHll6Q backward ana bryan
said Ii appealed especially to him, for
his habitual backwardness had been
matter of comment. He thanked his
hosts especially for their invitation to
join their order, as it would put him
in touch with the representatives of
the business interests of the state, de-
claring that he had yet found it diff
cult to get within speaking distance
Of the businessmen of the country.
ROSpNUafnT said that fho cvraafaSf
sources of advertising for Nebraska in
recent years had been the distinguished
guest Of the day and the organization
which was entertaining him. He raised
a laugh at the expense of Bryan by re-
lating in a facetious manner the story
of his recent meeting in Chicago with
Chairman Hitchcock of the republican
national committee.
Other guests at the dinner were the
newspaper reporters who accompanied
Bryan on ffs trip. who will remain with
him during the campaign.
BRYAN MADE A KNIGHT
After the dinner the party was taken
in automobiles to the castle where
Bryan, with several hundred other can
didates, was invested with the honrs
of knighthood according to the rites of
King Ak Sar Ben. Very entertaining
are the many features Of the initiation,
including a 'battleship trip around the
world" for the candidates. BY gracious
permission of his majesty Bryan chose
as his substitute for active participa
ton In these rites Charles A. Cotterell
of the Washington Office Of the Associ-
ated Press, and when the initiation was
complete the latter expressed the opin-
ion that .he got all that was coming
to his distinguished principal.
After the ceremonies Bryan made a
brief speech, addressing his hearers as
his friends and neighRors and omitting
political reference.
Bryan and party will return to Lin
coin tomorrow morning.

JUDGE lands TO
FACE $4,000 SUIT
Army Captain, Sent to Federal
Penitentiary, Alleges Writ
of Error Was Ignored
Suit to Be Aftermath of Fight
Between Judge GrOssCup
and Accused Jnrist
SPECIAL DIsPATcH TO THE CALL

CHICAGO, July 27.-Judge Kenesaw
NJ Lands OF the United States district
court probably will be sued next week
for $4,000 damages for false imprison-
ment. The suit is to be instituted by
Daniel F. Keller, formerly a captain
in the United States army, who was
sent to the federal penitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth last Saturday by Judge
Landis to serve a two years sentence
for stealing government checks.
The legal proceedings against the
judge will come as an aftermath of the
long and bitter feud between Lands
and Judge Peter S. Grosscup. Attor-
neys w. A. Adams and William Yeat-
man, representing Keller, allege that
Judge Landis issued mittimus COM
mitting the army captain to the peni-
tentiary at Fort Leavenworth in the
face of writs of superSedeas and error
which had been issued by Judge Gross
cup.
Applications for writ OF habeas cor
pus will be made by Attorneys Adams
and Yeatman tomorrow, and in all
probability Captain Keller will be
taken from the prison at Fort Leaven-
worth and brought back to Chicago the
last of the week.
For some time Judge Landis and
Judge Grosscup have not been on
speaking terms, and the breach became
wider when Judge Grosscup wrote the
decision for the court of appeals re-
versing the $29.24O,000 fine imposed by
Judge Lands on the Standard oil COM
pany.
The suit to be filed by Captain Keller
against Judge Landis will result in
both jurists being called into the state
courts to testify.
Captain Keller was taken to the fed
eral prison at Fort Leavenworth last
Saturday by Deputy Marshal Will
marth. It was charged that Keller col
lected more than $4,000 on forged
checks.
