PATERSON, July 9.-Bitten by a
dying dog, now known to have been
suffering from rabies, Frank Schneider.
a baker of 400 Marshall street, was
rushed today to the Pasteur Institute
in New York.
The dog had snapped at several per-
sons a week ago, and the owner. a
neighbor OF Schneider, decided to kill
1t. Schneider was asked to assist, and
between the two men the canine was
placed in a big box, a quantity of
chloroform was poured in and the tot
of the box was sealed. When the top
was removed Schneider, believing the
animal dead, put his hand in the box
and was bitten in the f1eshy part of his
thumb. He caught the beast by the
tail, dashed it's head against a tele-
phone pole, killing 1t and threw its body

fault. The entire plank was sent back
to the subcommittee to be redrafted.
When the convention, at 11:36 o'clock
last night, adjourned until II today,
after an acrimonious debate or the re-
port of the committee on credentials,
one snag had been removed from the
channel through which the candidacy
of William j. Bryan must pass on the
way to his nomination for the presi-
dency of the United States.
BY a vote announced al 615 to 3S7,
the convention rejected the minority
tails and adopted that of the majority
of the committee, the principal practi-
cal effect of which. was to unseat the
group of contested delegates from
Philadelphia hostile to the candidacy
of Mr.. Bryan and, more particularly,
| friendly to the interests Of National
| Committeeman James M. Guffey, Of
Pittsburg. In addition to this the re-
port as adopted added four to the rep
resentation from Oklahoma, and thus
four to the total strength of the. con-
vention. These four are Bryan men.
To how great an extent = this 20 vote

Bryan strength in the convention was

question debated on all hands this

[special to the Evening start

DENVER, July 9.-The New Jersey
was the storm centre of the
demonstration which for an hour and a
half made pandemonium of the con-
vention hall. Many desperate efforts
were made by the Bryan enthusiasts.
who had become fanatics under the
strain Of the continued uproar, to wrest
the marker for the seats from the Jer-
sey delegation, but 1t was ably pro-
tected by Delegate William B. Conner,
of Middlesex.
The only New Jersey delegates who
Joined in the Bryan demonstration
were Robert Davis. of Jersey City. and
Farmer Orator James E. MARITIME,
and they tried their best to rouse the
others, but failed. MARITIME left the
seats of the alternates and made the
first grab for the standard of the dele
cation. Conner held to 1t and the two
men nearly had a fist fight. Others
tried to get the standard, so that 1t
could be added to the Bryan parade
about the hall, but the Middlesex dele
gate, who is a big man., would not let
go of It,.
Women delegates from Colorado,
Idaho and Nevada, some of them very
beautiful and all of them wildly ex-
cited by the Bryan enthusiasm, pleaded
With the Jersey delegates to join the
demonstration, but they also failed.
Chairman Katzenbach sat unmoved
throughout the ordeal. The most in
fuential men in the party pleaded with
him to lead his delegation into the
Bryan phalanx and parade about the
hall. But he was deaf. Throughout
the whole hour and a half of uproar
the New Jersey men, except for Davis
and MARITIME, sat like stone, and when
quiet had been restored they insisted
that they would cast their vote for
Judge Gray, despite the tremendous
lead that Bryan now has In the con-
vention. They take this course, they
explain, because of their belief that 1t
Is right and best for them as Demo-
Gratis and for the best interests of the
party n people.
Former Judge Howard Carrow, of
Camden, explained his retirement from
the national committee today by say
Ing that 1t would not be possible to do
anything for Bryan in New Jersey this
year, and hat If he continued in the
committee with Bryan as the nominee
he would be nothing more than a fig
urehead.
Most of the delegates are confident
that Bryan canno carry New Jersey
or New York and that 1t will be i'm
possible to maintain any kind Of an
organization in these States with the
Nebraskan at the head of the ticket.
Robert Davis, the exception, is shout
ing that Bryan will carry New Jersey.
He says he is certain of Hudson Coun-
ty and of Warren and Hunterdon. He
counts much on the supposed weakness
of Taft In New Jersey.

The American in Canada.

The American farmer is a practical
man; there is no cleverer-headed citi-
zen in the world, and moreover he is
frankly honest. When he finds in
Canada system of Jurisprudence un-
der which law is everywhere respect
ed, when he learns that Canada has
never seen lynch1ng, that Canadian
history tells of no Indian wars, he is
very willing to acknowledge that
there is little here he would wish to
change. The fact is that in his gen.
eral views and attitude toward life
no one is more like a Canadian than
an American. The fact that they are
subjected to similar environment and
to the same broad sweeping continen-
tai forces readily explains how by
merely crossing north or south an
imaginary boundary line Canadian
and American alike pass from one citi-
zenship to another with far less fric-
ton than an Englishman can be trans
planted to either American or Cana
dian soil.-Atlantic Monthly.
