Chicago, April Is. = Miss Marion
Gray the affinity" broker who was
convicted by the Federal court for
using the U. S. mails to defraud by
conducting a matrimonial bureau at
Elgin, ILL., was today sentenced by
Judge Landis to one year in the house
of correction. The defendant wept on
her fathers shoulders and made quite
scene. The woman's counsel de-
clared their intention of presenting
the matter of the newspaper which
printed her advertisements, to the at.
torney general, charging them as being
equally guilty. The court held that
the newspapers acted only as agents
and did not originate the scheme
Judge lands stated that he would
join with Attorney Newell, the eoun.
sci of Miss Gray, in recommending to
the attorney general in securing the
names of the newspaper publishing
blind advertisements connected witt
the affinity bureau, and suggest their
disbarment from the mails. Judge
Lands termed them messengers OF
crime"

gates instructed tor him, the Delaware
state convention Tuesday otncially
placed him before the Democracy OF
the country for that party's nomiua-
ton for. president of the United
States. .....-
Judge Gray's declaration, contained
in letter to Thomas +. Bayard, chair
man OF the state committee, which
was read to the convention, came as a
surprise TO the delegates, but they
did not hesitate an instant TO place
him in the field. The mention of his
name in the convention was enthusias-
tically received. There was no voice
raised against the resolution to in
struct the delegation OF six to sup
port, advocate and vote" for Judge
Gray's nomination.
The platform adopted declares for
unfaltering devotion to state rights,
criticises the national administration
and declares for revision Of the tar

New York, Apr. 15.-The first day
of the Democratic state convention
closed with a defeat of those dele
gates committed to the candidacy of
William j. Bryan. The committee on
resolutions late Tuesday night
adopted a set of resolutions to be
presented to the convention providing
for an uninstructed delegation to the
national Democratic convention at
Denver. sab
When the convention organized the
Bryan men offered a resolution in
structing the delegates to be chosen
for Mr. Bryan. 1t was referred to the
committee on resolutions, which met
in the evening and In turn referred
the Bryan resolution to a sub-com-
mittee Of seven. The subcommittee
heard an appeal by Augustus Thomas,
president of the Bryan Progressive
Democratic league, which fathered the
resolution and then, by vote of to
/, decided to report to the full COM
mittee the recommendations against
an instructed delegation. The sub
committees report was received and
adopted by the committee on resolu-
tions by vote of 28 to 4. A minority
report of the subcommittee calling
for an instructed delegation was de-
feated by similar vote. Nineteen
members of the committee on reso-
lutions were absent when the vote
was taken. The Bryan men declared
later that they would carry the fight
to the floor of thhe convention.

Washington, d. c., April l5.-Next
Monday will be Children's Day at
the White House. and all the little
tots of the national capital are look
ing forward with ill-restrained glee to
the great event. 1t will be "egg-roll-
ing time" on the handsome lawn
south OF the executive mansion, and,
as in past years, President Roosevelt
will cause 1t to be thrown open un-
reservedly to the children. And the
lawn will be exclusively for the kid
dies,
Unless a grown-up is accompanied
by q tot too young to take care Of
himself the big policemen who guard
all the gates blandly smile and fur
nish the information. that the little
people have a monopoly on the
grounds, Sometimes grown-ups are
so anxious to get in that they will
borrow" a child from its mother
ii she has more than one-and thus
slip into the enclosure to watch the
children at play.
The white House lot is the cen
ter of the child life of Washington on
Easter Monday. 1t is not the only
park to which the little folks resort,
but it Is the center--the headquarters
of all the fun. The President usually
steps out into the rear balcony of the
White House and studies the pretty
picture presented by thousands of
happy children. And Mrs Roosevelt
always spends some time watching
the antics of the egg-rollers. Some
times the President takes time for a
few words and he never has so appre-
eiative an audience anywhere else.
For the little folks can realize TO
surprising degree that the first man
in the land Is speaking to them and
that the first lady In the land stands
beside him smiling upon them.
When the gates open at 3 O'Clock
Monday morning hordes of little chill
dren bearing baskets of eggs of every
shade and hue will be on hand. They
are preparing now for the festival
and will be on pins and needles much
vi lht llulc uutll Iue eNenIIul nOur
rolls arouno. No distinction win be
made as to rich or poor, white or
black-it will be children's day, and
that is all. Between the hours of 8
and the little folks will romp until
they are weary, roll eggs, pick" with
each other until their eggs are all
broken, and then be ready TO leave,
for the fun stops Just one hour after
noon.
The big folks will be amply repaid
later in the afternoon. when the Unit.
ed States marine band will give a con-
cert in the same park between the
hours of $3.50 and $50. 1t will be
the first open-air concert of the sea-
son and the White Lot will be throng.
ed with music lovers. While the big
folks are to be vigorously excluded
from the fun and frolic of the chill
dren, no such prohibition extends to
the tots enjoying the concert. So all
of them will have a very full day.

and with the help of the board, to
build an orphans home where / can
teach the boys and girls of my race
to be self.supportng. The boys will
] be taught the best method of western
farming, while the girls will be taught
to be good housekeepers in every
sense OF the word. They will have
hours for work, hours for study with
a good teacher, and they shall have
their hours for play. They shall be
taught to fear God and live good NOR
al lives. Our motto shall be to make
men and women of them so when
they leave this home they can go out
and battle with the world and make
their own living"
