Democratic national committee gets to
Lincoln one of the things that will
particularly be decided will be the
time and place for the notification of
Mr.. Bryan of his nomination. There
IS a disposition among the members TO
make that notification a big function
and open the campaign with whoop.
They favor a joint notification OF
he presidential and vice presidential
candidates. and for first choice would
select the Coliseum at Chicago as the
place. They are yet to learn. how
ever. what sort of campaign Mr..
Bryan intends to make, and, of course
will follow his desire about the notif-
cation.
1t has practically been settled that
the campaign headquarters of MIR.
Bryan will be at Chicago. and already
the committee is trying to get rooms
In the Rand McNally building for that
purpose. That question will also be
solved at Lincoln. And If Chicago is
chosen there will be a branch head
quarters at either New York or Wash

More Stringent Regulations on De-

the physician who writes a prescrip-
ton for denatured alcohol and the
druggist who prepares the prescrip-
ton and sells the medicine to the pa
tient are liable to criminal prosecution

action of some druggist who prescribe
ed denatured alcohoffor external med

so is a violation of the law. The de-
cision says in part:

denatured alcohol provides fine and
Imprisonment for any person who
used denatured alcohol for manufact-
uring any beveridge or liquor medi-

situation In Honduras.

Puerto Cortez. Honduras. July 8,
via New Orleans, La. July 13.-The
fighting which has occurred about
Gracias and Choluteca bears the ear
marks OF organized revolution. The
reports say the attacks on these
towns were begun by small bodies Of
armed men. who were at first re-
pulsed by government troops, but
who returned the attacks and finally
won.
Although the captors OF these
towns we're said TO be men from Sal.
vador. a significant fact Is that Just
preceding their appearance in Hon
duras oficlals OF this government
claim to have received notice OF a
|preconcerted plan for uprlsings
Throughout Honduras. To nip these
uprislngs in the bud. several arrests
were made here and at San Pedro
before the Honduran frontier was
invaded from Salvador.
Apparently the Honduran officials
believe these arrests have effectually
souelched the revolutionary move
ment among the residents of this
country, but they fear that the APP
pearance OF fresh bodies OF invaders
from any OF the other republics may
revive an armed opposition in Hon
duras. President Daxila has declared
the republic In a state OF war and Mas
begun to concentrate Honduran
troops as rapidly as possible In order
to beat on the invaders.
