prince and Madame Gould made a de-
terminod effort TO escape the crowd. They

entrance Of the hotel all the morning.
When the hour for them to leave arrived,
friends, left the hotel by rear entrance
and, entering ordinary cabs, drove to the

POPE Plus in GOOD HEALTH
No Truth In Report from Paris that
POntIn IL Suffering
Illness.

ROME, July There is no truth in the
report emanating in Paris that the pope
is in Ill health. Since he was elected to
his present office the pontiff has never
enjoyed better health during the summer
time than he has this year. Yesterday
morning he was in conference with his
secretary Of state, Cardinal Merry Del Val,
from 6 to s o'clock concerning the publica-
tion Of the documents ordering the reor-
q nization OF the congregations, and during
tho day he received many other visitors.
This morning, after celebrating mass he
walked in the vatican gardens at o'clock,
later inspected a replica of the church at
Lourdes, and viewed the lions sent him by
King MeEelik Of Abyssinia. After this the
pontiff received number of visitors, In

Bohemian college. He made a short ad-
dress to the students, congratulating them
uFon the completion OF their studies.

LANE CUTOFF SAVES DAY
Bridges the ChRsm and Keeps Trains
Running East nnd West Dur
ing Terrible Flood.

In the mind Of Vice President Mohler Of
the Cnicn Pacific there is not the remotest
doubt as to the expediency of the Lane
cutoff nor does Mr.. Mohlef wait for fur
ther proof to be convinced that this short
piece OF railroad, which cost over S3,OoOn
is a paying investment. He is absolutely
convinced and he thinks everybody else
ought to be who knows anything about
what the cutoff did for the Urdon Pacific
and other railroads during the flood this
week when traffic was 50 seriously hamp-
cred.
With enormous demands upon It for the
three days, Saturday. Sunday and Monday.
when democrats were hurrying from the
east to Denver the Union Pacific shot
twenty special trains ard fifteen extra
sections of the regular trains and its reg
ulars over its tracks to Denver-all passing
over the Lane cutoff-without the slightest
mishap to train or passenger. In addition
to this the special or regular trains Of
some Of the other railroads that were
waterbound, made use Of the cutoff
One Of the most significant features is
that all the trains started and arrived at
their destination on schedule time.
Not only Union Pacific. but other rail-
road men are impressed with the results
made possible by the use of this little bit
Of track only eleven miles In length, and
the Lane cutoff is the subject of general
commendation and expressions of wonder
in local railroad circles. The automatic
block signal system which the Union Pacific
installed long ago is in use along the cut
off. too.

TAFT BANNER IN LINCOLN
Republican State Committee Strings
One in street.
(From a Staff Correspondent)

(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Neb., July 7.-(Special Tele-
gram)--Across o street between Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets this morning there
was swung TO the breeze an immense Taft
banner. Inscribed over the picture Of the
republican candidate are these words: Ne
braska for Taft" On the reverse side of
the banner are pictures Of Taft and sher-
man under the words "Our Choice"
The banner Is the most artistic ever flown
90 the breeze in this city and It has stirred
up the democrats to the fighting point
Acting under pressure from the business
men who hoped to make money out OF visit
ing Bryan delegates, officials OF the Com
mercial club have proclaimed against the
action OF the republican committee. While
the Lincoln papers. OF course, will notice
the action, the Star having already done
80, II is expected the opposition of the Com
mercisl club and the business men will
be short lived because II has been tipped
off TO them that the republican state head
quarters could very easily be moved 70
some city where political candidates are
not Haunted as business assets
When II is decided whether more money
is to be made out OF Mr.. Bryan than out
OF the visitors 20 republican headquarters
and from support OF republican legislatures,
then the course 20 be pursued by some OF
the kickers can be foretOli
President Rose OF the Taft club will
Issue his list OF committees today that
have been appointed 90 make arrangements
for a big Taft ratification meeting, these
committees to act In conjunction with
committees from other counties.
II is the opinion OF Chairman Hayward
OF the republican committee that the op-
position 20 the Taft banner comes from
those democrats and republicans who
would vote for Bryan anyhow, but whoever
the kicks come from. he says. he intends
TO conduct a campaign for the election OF
Mr.. Taft. regardless Of what some OF the
people OF Lincoln say.
At FAiTview Il is a waiting game on the
part OF Mr.. Bryan. and there were very
few callers today.

ANALYSIS OF STATE CONTESTS
Opponents of Bryan Comment on the
Defeat OF His
Friends.

DENVER, July Mayor Tom johnson
OF Cleveland was defeated for membership
on the national committee today at the for
NAL caucus Of the Ohio delegation. 1t al
ready had been slated that II. c. CARRIER
Of Columbus was to succeed Mr.. Johnson,
but the mayor OF Cleveland put up a hard
fight which lasted for an hour. The result,
however, was heavily against him, the vote
being q for CARRIER to Z for Johnson.
At the opening Of the caucus Mr.. Johnson
presented a telegram conveying to him the
proxies of ten members Of the delegation
who have been deiaved in crossing Ne
braska. The committee refused to accept
the telegram and although Mr.. johnson
endeavored to have il read into the record
II was entirely excluded. For members OF
the committee on resolutions n. NJ. Gruher
was successful over f. II. Moore, the John
son man, by vote of q to s. Max Gold
smith defeated e. w. Hanley for member
ship on the credentials committee by the
same vote
After the caucus had adjourned johnson
made a statement in which he claimed that
II the ten delegates who had wired their
proxies to him had been present their in
fluence would have been sufficient to have
secured his reelection.
People who seek anti Bryan indications
and inferences attach significance to the
fact of the defeat of two men known pc
culiarly as the friends Of Bryan-Tom
johnson Of Ohio and Campau Of Michigan.
and the endorsement by their states Of four
whose defeat Mr.. Bryan was known to
have desred-Sulivan of Illinois, Guffey
Of Pennsylvania, Taggart of Indiana and
McGraw Of West Virginia
The friends of Mr. Bryan attach much
Importance to the fact that Lewis Nixon
was made chairman of the subcommittee
on the anti-iniunction plank while Judge
Alton b. Parker, who will be the states
representative on the committee on resolu-
tions, was given second place on the COM
mittee. Mr. Nixon is known as a warm
friend of Mr.. Bryan and his prominence
In the Tammany activities is interpreted by
the Bryan people as an indication that New
York In the final SHOW down" will sup
port Bryan.
The importance OF the leadership of New
York is apparent in a review of figures
given out last night for the first time by
the anti-Bryan people as setting forth the
theory on which they have been WORKING
They claim that timely utterance by New
York against Bryan would have rallied a
total Of 3i9 votes-15 more than enough to
prevent his having the two-thirds vote
necessary for nomination. This is the
strength they were counting on:
Alabama, /; Florida, 4; Georgia, 26; Louis
lana, 49, West Virginia, Il: North Carolina
"a; Connecticut, u; Delaware, g. Maine, II
Massachusetts, Il; New Hampshire. 4; Yer
mont, s. New Jersey. "a; New York, IS:
Pennsylvania. IS; Rhode Island. 4; Mime
sofa, p; Ohio, u; Wisconsin, 6; Alaska, 6;
| Porto Rico 6. Total. 349
New York's failure to lead the stampede
against Bryan was generally accepted last
night as fatal to the hopes of his oppo-
nents, even the sanguine admitting pri-
vately that 1t is now too late to rally an
| effective combination.

BUSY, BUT QUIET. DAY FOR BRYAN
Few Visitors, but Plenty of TeIe-
grams md Letters.

grams and Letters.
FAIRVIEW, Lincoln, Neb., July T.
There were visitors at Fairview today, but
none Of importance in a political way.
Tn s did not, however. mean that Mr.. Bry an
was not busy. His day began early, and
before his breakfast was completed the
special wire between his office and Denver
was pouring in kilograms which required
replies. Although there has been a perma-
nent telegraph office established in cot
tage in close proximity to the Bryan home.
for convention purposes a special wire was
run TO his office and at his desk, near
which the telegraph operator had been
placed Mr.. Bryan spent most OF his time
until the Denver convention adjourned this
afternoon.
Visiting delegations and calls of person
ages high in the councils of the party
during the past five days had given the
democratic leader but little opportunity
to read his voluminous correspondence, and
much OF his time today was devoted TO
that duty with his confidential stenog-
rapher he went over his mail, stopping only
TO make reply TO the numerous kilograms
which were placed on his desk during the
early part of the day.
To persistent inquiries as to whether he
would go to the Denver convention, Mr.
Bryan stated that at present he had no
though of doing so. and knew OF no con-
tingency which might arise to take him to
Denver. You cannot tell what the future
viii bring forth" said he, but l know Of
nothing which will take me to the con-
vention city"
Mr.. Bryan watched the convention bulle-
tins closely and those reporting occasions
which brought forth applause from the big
Denver gathering were read with evident
satisfaction and contented smiles, but not
with looks OF surprise.
News from the convention did not pre-
vent him, however, from taking a deep in
terest in the harvesting OF his alfalfa crop,
ana he viewed with deep concern the pros
poets OF its being garnered before another
rain should come. Patrick Ryan, who de-
votes his time to making the Bryan farm
! productive, began moving the alfalfa this
morning, while two other hands raked Il
into haycocks
