DENVER, June 35.-Wi;h the ar

backed by a big eastern contingent to
wage war on radicals the democrat
ic convention will be on.
Every prospect points to an old

this prospect seems 10 be pleasing to
the leaders.
The main bate will be centered
around the anti-injunction plank.
Parker. judge and lawyer, will oppose
every step that may be construed as
an attack on The courts
The conservatives plan to make a
hot campaign all along the line and
even talk about beating Bryan for
the nomination, which appears i'm
possible
Managers of Judge Grays boom
will open headquarters tomorrow. He
is the favorite of the conservative ell
ement.
The main body CT Johnson's sup
porters are expected 10 arrive tonight
Bryan men still declare they will
control the formation of the platform
and that it will be the kind Of plat
form Bryan wants.
The Bryaniies announced today
that they were not in the least fright
ened at the claims of Judge Gray's
friends that he will be a factor in the
convention. They declare Gray's only
possible hope is for second place.
Arrangements have already been
made for notifying Bryan of nOmin-

MUST TAG ALL
SEPARATE PIECES
NAME OF CONSIGNEE AND STA.
TION MUST BE MARKED
ON GOODS.

PITTSBURG. Pa, June 30.-All
railroads east of the Mississippi. in
the territory covered by the official
classification" will after today refuse
to accept for transportation all ship
ments in less than carload lots which
are not plainly marked with the name
of the consignee and the station. city
and state of destination.
For many years it has been custo-
mary for large number of shippers
to mark their packages with an initial
or some neiroglyphic, the key to which
would be on tse bill of lading. 1t was
.ile theory that this saved time and
also prevented competitors from OBJ
serving the names of shippers GUS
toners on the outside of packages.
Railroad officials claim that great
abuses have resulted from this prac-
tice. When large number of pack
ages are intende for the same con-
signee shippers often mark only one
or two the others saving no marks
at all. If The shipments become mixed
with others at transfer points. there
is no way of identifying tsem. The
consequence HAS DceI great ucldy ,
vexation on the part of both shippers
and consignees and claims against the
railroad
Figures prepared by the Trunk Line
association for II principal lines in the
official classification territory show
that the total freight earnings for
these companies in 1907 We're $541,-
725,712, an increase over 1906 of 1912
per cent. Nevertheless the total pay
ment for loss and damage by these
lines in 1907 was s5.596.794, fully one
per cent. of the total freight earn
ings and an increase ove- 1906 of
22.4 per cent
1t is estimated that about 45 per
cent. of loss and damage claims are
due TO "loSses in transit, which
means that in 1907 tse losses on this
score of the lines mentioned were
about 50, SOC. 900. OF this amount, prob
ably over s1,250,000 was caused by
the improper marking of ,he less
than-carload shipments. 1t is the de-
sign of the railroads now to stop is
sues from this cause.

cabinet and is succeeded. as secretary
of war by Luke E. Wright of Tennes-

the organization of his campaign forces
and will meet here tomorrow with the
sub committee OF the republican ma
tiOnal committee to decide upon a
chairman. Representative Sherman,
candidate for vice president. will also
take part in the conference. Several
men are being considered for the
craftsmanship. and it is thought that a
definite decision will be reached as
a result of tomOrrow's meeting.
Luke Wright, the new secretary of
war is confederate veteran. and
democratic in his political views. His
selection is looked upon as a clever
piece of diplomacy which may result
in gaining many Taft votes in the
south.
Leaving the service of ,he wrecked

Since then his career has been such
as to admirably fit him for the high

President Roosevelt. AS a member OF
the Philippine commission. later vice

Sans islands in the Fare East, and
afterward ambassador to Japan, he
made record for. fidelity and abil-
itv that gave him an in ,ernational rep

Few men are more popular in the
army than Luke Wright and despite
the fact that he was a confederate,
his appointment has been universally
by the leaders of the
Grand Amy of the Republic and by

city council tonight. the city fathers
will take up the question of granting
a license to Leon Jasseaud to conduct

ell and the matter was referred to the
judiciary committee, as some resi-
dents of that section of the city had

years in the state prison.
Bingham is the man who bought a
stove of the Davis Kaser COM

convicted at his first rial but his
second hearing was more successful
for the state. When he is released
from the pen he will be taken in
custody by Whitman county officials
as he is wanted in that place for a
similar charge.
