Washington, April 24.-The develop
that by June Is, the date of the meet
ing of the republican national conven-
ton, there may be enough uncertainty
about what the democratic party will
do at Denver in July to make the re

platform to the country. Until re-

that the democrats would nominate
William j. Bryan for president. Most
Of the influential men in the party
still cling to this view, but a good
many men are half inclined to believe
the Nebraskan may be forced to give
way for another.
Men connected with the anti Bryan
campaign are confident that by the

even if Bryan shall fail to carry off the
prize. The same thing may be said of
some of the men who are behind the
campaign that has been started in the
interest of Judge George Gray. of Del
aware. Both the Johnson and the
Gray movements. so far as the East
is concerned. are simply designed to
afford standards around which the op-
position to Bryan can be rallied
Undoubtedly either Johnson or Gray
would be satisfactory to the democrats
of the East who are enlisted in this
revolt against Bryan. but the men
who are behind the movements realize
that it will hardly be possible to defeat
Bryan's nomination, If Bryans nom

permitted to name the candidate Per
haps the word "perpitted" should not
be used in this connection; it is con

hand in the convention. even though
he can not get twO-thirds of the dele

enough to dictate the nomination.

DOES PROSECUTOR
GET DOUBLE FEE
This Is the Interesting Ques-
ton Which Has Been
Brought Up.
JESSUP ASKS QUESTION.
WHETHER OR NOT HE SHOULD
RECEIVE FEES ON CONVICTION
IN CITY AND CIRCUIT COURTS
WILL BE DECIDED BY JUDGE.

An interesting point of law has been
raised by Prosecutor Jessup and
Judge Fox has been called upon for a
ruling. 1t is in regard to whether or
not the prosecuting attorney receives
fee from both the city and circuit
courts, when conviction is obtained in
the first and again in the second on
appeal. The prosecutor maintains he
ought to receive both fees. The dues-
ton has arisen in the Regg case and
as this is the first time it has come
up since Judge Fox has been on the
bench he has been asked TO decide
Regg was fined in the city court II
the fine were paid, the prosecutor
would receive a fee of s.. He was
convicted again in the circuit court
and the prosecutor holds he ought to
receive another fee of the same
amount in case of payment of the
fine
The law as cited by the state; at
torney grants him his fee for each
conviction. 1t stipulates, also, that in
case the defendant demands a trial
and does not enter a plea OF guilty
in the circuit court the fee shall be
81 upon conviction. If the defendant
does not stand trial the fee is stipulat-
ed al 81. There is a difference of op-
inion among members of the WAYNE
county bar, some holding the prosecu-
tor is entitled TO two fees AS he is re-
quired TO prosecute twice the same as
in independent cases and others de
claring an appeal does not constitute
another case. Authorities will be sub
mitted TO the court for reference.

Thought it a Joke.

Mr.. Bentlage at first thought the

considering the contents he became
alarmed and turned the matter over

nights this officer fruitleSsly kept
vigil, each morning removing the

Last Monday Mr.. Bentlage received
a lengthy epistle written and printed
like the first letter and the same in
1tials were attached. This letter was
a most threatening one. 1t began
with the statement that there was no
use trying to fool the author with
counterfeit money or to have the hid

Charles BentIage Received
Threatening Letters Signed
In Mysterious Way Which
Spoke of Vengeance.
CLARENCE TATE HAS BEEN
PLACED UNDER ARREST.
It Is Thought by the Police
That He Is the Man Who
Committed the Act-Cap-
tured Through Novel Ruse.

Clarence Tate has been arrested on
suspicion of being guilty of blackmail-
ing Charles Bentlage, a well known To-
cal grocer The case promises to be
a most sensational one, but the author
tiles refuse, beyond admitting that
Tate has been arrested, to give out any
information.
In an effort to obtain money from
J Mr. Bentlage, it is stated that Tate
wrote several letters in which he
threatened Bentlage with murder and
the destruction of his property. For
the past two weeks Mr.. Bentlage has
been under a nervous strain as the re-
suit of receiving these letters. Much
difficulty was experienced by the po
lice in snaring the author of these ep-
ithets, but he at length walked into a
trap that had been prepared for him,
and it is thought that the evidence the
police hold against Tate will be suf
ficient to convict him.
Tate has been under arrest since last
Tuesday. but the fact that he had been
taken into custody, was kept we'll
guarded secret until last night, when
the report began to be circulated about
town. It is stated that Tate stoutly
maintains his innocence. 1t is also
stated that while the police are conf
dent that they have the right man in
custody, the evidence that they have
against him is very slight.
The story of the anonymous and
threatening letters was learned this af-
ternoon. On Monday, April Q. Mr..
Bentlage. who has a grocery store at
South Eleventh and D streets, received
a letter stating that unless he left SO
under the steps Of his feed barn he
would be killed and barn burned to the
ground. The letter was partly printed
and partly written and to it the initials
I'D, NJ. T. N. TT were signed. These
initials are supposed to stand for the
well known phrase, Dead Men Tell No
Tales"

In his declaration to stand pa

are also bound by the platform and
by personal pledges to their constit-
