roads

Chicago, Aug. Norman E Mack, chairman of
the Democratic National Committee, advised
tonight that reduced railroad rates will be put
into effect for the Bryan notification Lincoln
August Il.
Leod. chairman of the Western Passenger Associa-
by Mr. Mack earlier in the day. calling attention
10 the that reduced fares had been granted on
the occasion of the Taft notification in Cincinnai.
whereas concessions had been made for the
Democratic gathering.
The correspondence was preceded by several tel
ephonic conversations between Messrs Mack and
Macleod. the latter explaining the action of the
railroads by referring to the fact that reduced
rates had been put into effect for any events in
Nebraska since the passage of the 2-cent fare law
in that state. He also emphasized the fact that
the reduced rates to Cincinnati quoted by the
Central Passenger Associa ton but that reduced
rate made for the Taft meeting in Western
Passenger Association territory. and that there
was no discrimination by the Western Association,
THE action of the railroads is simply dscrim-
nation against the Democra tic party said Mr..
Mack They state that there is a 2-cent rate
law in Nebraska which will not permit them to
give 4 reduced rate to Lincoln. But desire 10 call
their attention 10 the fact that there is also 2
cent law in Ohio which did not prevent the grant
ing of a reduced by the Central Passenger
Association to the Taft meeting in Cincinnati. Be
sides. as I understand it, many of the railroads
which compose the Central Passenger Association
are members Of the Western Passenger Associa-
ton"

What was intended by the Independence League
County Committee for brief business session and
a rousing ratification meeting in the United Charl-
ties Building. 22d street and Fourth avenue last
night developed into a protracted rehashing of the
fight at Chicago for the Endorsement OF Bryan

against Charles E Gehring, the chairman of the
committee and L. ]. O'ReiIly, who. he said. had
caused him to be pitched out of the convention and
set upon by six husky Chicago thugs.

CIr. Cronin) had said that Sheppard should be al
lowed to continue it would be easy to vote down
anv attennpt TO boom the Peerless Ore" Mr. Cronin
said that Mr.. Gehring turned upon him and called
him Tanmany spy. and that then Mr.. OReliy
took hand and turned the sergeant-at-arms loose
upon him Cronin was considerably unused up be
fore he was rescued on the sidewalk He was not a
delegate

should be appointed consisting of Cronin and any
men he might select, to investigate. Then Mr.
Gehring made a speech explaining the occurrence
from his recollection of it He said that consid-
cradle profanity used and that little violence
resulted Mr. O'Reilly said the same thing. Inter
spersed were several brief speeches, by DR..
Bush, of Hearst's district, counseling a kissand-
makeup ending. The Cronin charges and the mo-
ton to appoint a committee Withdrawn. but
not before a tumbler the desk smashed

passed TO that effect, and then the county COM
mttee adjourned. Mr.. Cronin said later that he
would report to his organization. which would take
action. He would not deny that he might withdraw
from the party.
