pares for Its Convention
at Chicago July ~

New York, July 11.--That William
Jennings Bryan will not have the sup.
port Of William Randolp Hearst was
indicated today by the attitude OF
Hearst's two New York papers, the
American and the Evening Journal.
Both these papers announce loss OF
confidence on their part both In the
Democratic party and in Bryan.
To Name National Ticket.
In addition operations are we'll un-
der way for the next national conven-
tion of the Independent party which
will be held at Chicago on July q. The
leaders say they will put full tick
ct in the field and will also try to have
a state ticket in every state. Thomas
Hisgen, of Massachusetts, is being
doomed for the presidential nomina-
tion. He ran for governor of Massa-
chusetts two years ago on the Hearst
ticket and polled a surprisingly large
vote.
Do Not Hope to Win.
The party leaders say the strength
of this party has grown in the South
remarkably of late and they expect it
to continue to grow. They do not ex-
pect to win this fall but will seek to
bring their party and it's principles
before the people and thus open the
way for future growth.

PRAISES RUNNING MATE
Nebraskan in Speech Ex-
presses Complete Satisfac.
ton With Everything.

Fairview, Neb., July lin a
speech to the returning members of
the Lincoln Bryan Club and the Ne
braska Travelling Mems Bryan Club
here today. William J. Bryan express
ed his highest admiration for the
Democratic platform for John w. Kern,
his running mate, and declared that
the publicity OF campaign contribu
tions would give the people chance
hereafter to elect their choice to- Of
flee. In part Bryan said
Platform Suits the Reform Element
Il think this convention leaves a
different impression than that given
by the Chicago convention four years
ago. In that convention the platform
did not represent what the reform ele-
ment of the party wanted and when
the convention was over there was
feeling of disbursement and disap,
pointment. But the Democratic party
in this convention has given the peo-
pie platform that believe expresses
the deliberate sentiment of that large
and growing reform element in this
country.
Is Really Delighted"
I'VE are going to commence our
campaign with a publicity plank In the
platform. A plank that announces an
honest purpose and proclaims an hon
est position. Our convention marks
new era in American politics and
henceforth the idea will grow that
elections are public affairs and that
the people have right to know what
influences are at work and I am de
lighted that our party has taken the
initiative. The Republican party in its
convention. by an Overwhelming ma
jority voted down that proposition, but
the Democratic party, by vote that
was unanimous, indorsed it and made
1t one of the chief planks in the plat
form.
Bryan Ready for the Fray.
Mr.. Bryan was willing listener to
the details of the convention. He has
been under heavy strain for fort
night but enjoyed a full nights rest
last night and rose greatly refreshed
today ready for the many conferences
he will have with his supporters dur
ing the coming week. Chief in i'm
portance Of these will be the visit to
Fairview of the members of the ma
tional committee next Tuesday when
the campaign plans will be discussed
and the matter OF a new chairman TAX
en- up informally.

DISCUSS CAPITOL.
EXTENSION LOTS
Their Sale Subject OF Conference Be.
tween Governor and Citizens
Committee.

Some thirty business men and
property owners of Santa Fe called
at the executive office this forenoon
to discuss with Governor Curry and
Attorney General Hervey the situation
which has arisen by the refusal OF
certain property owners to accept the
$4,000 allowed them by the Board OF
Capitol Extension for the lots north
OF the Capitol that are needed for
the proposed extension of the Capitol
grounds and the erection of an exec.
utlve mansion Governor Curry sum
moned Attorney General Hervey and
Territorial Secretary Nathan Jaffa to
take part in the conference. General
Charles F. Easley made an introduc-
tory talk explaining the object of the
| visitors. Governor Curry demonstrat.
ed that the Extension Board and he
are doing everything in their power
to expedite the proposed improve
ments: that on July %, the bonds for
the purpose would be sold. that sew
leral parties are inquiring about the
bonds, that Attorney General Heryey
has drawn the papers for condemna-
ton proceedings to be filed immedi-
ately, that the architects plans are
! in readiness and the brick for the
buildings on hand at the penitentiary,
but that 1t is important tnat the title
to the real estate sought, be clear in
order that there be no hitch about
the sale of the bonds.
A thorough discussion, brought out
the sentiment that the price offered
is ample compensation for the proper
ty in question; that no board of ap-
praisers, no jury, would give the
property owners as much for the
property as the territory now offers
and to which offer the board is lin
tied by law; that the property is re-
turned for assessment at only small
fraction of the amount offered by
the territory for 1t and that
the income the owners derive
from it would not pay five per
cent on the sum offered them. Cover
nor Curry pledged himself to recon-
mend that the legislature give the
property owners $4,000 in addition to
the $4,000 offered, if they would part
with title Immediately.
A committee consisting of Charles
F. Easley, l.. A. Hughes, J. H.
Gerdes, Fl. S. Kaune and
Mayor Jose D. Sena was then appoint.
ed to confer with the three property
owners in question to induce them to
accept the boards offer for their prop
erty. If the offers are not accepted
condemnation proceedings will be
brought and local property owners
will file bond in court to pay such
part of the award as finally adjudicat-
ed as exceeds the $4,000 at the dispos-
al of the Extension Board, so that
there be no delay through appeal after
the appraisers have made their re-
port, although 1t is certain that ap-
praisal will fix the valuation Of the
property far below the sum now of.
fered.

SHEPPARD'S FINE SHOWING
Record Made by Sprinter During the
Indoor Season.
CHANCES FOR THE OLYMPIC TEAM
What Some of the Cracks Have Been
Doing TO Get Ready for the
Great London Athletic
Competition.

NEW YORK. May 16.-No athlete IN
America made a better showing indoors
last winter than Melvin Sheppard the peer
less half miller. generally acknowledged as
the greatest all around runner in the coun-
try. True Sheppard lost race or two at
his favorite distance. but it was not speed
that beat him. The two races tn half
mile champion lost at Philadelphia were
run on the little First regiment track Csix-
teen laps to the mile). where jockeying and
elbow shifts count more than real running.
The only man that showed the least bit
on Sheppard was Guy Haskins, and these
races, which the Australian won from
shep.. were run on 4 track where it was
next to impossible for a man TO show his
real worth. This statement is clearly
proven by the experience OF Tad White,
the sensational miller. White ran mile
in 4.23 in Madison Square garden. yet a
couple of weeks later he was beaten badly
on the little Quaker City saucer in 43s
The choppy turns -four to lap) completely
tied up Whites legs, and he was unable
to make any kind of a race.
But Sheppard won races in distances up
to the half mile with bewildering rapidity
The 1,OO0-yard Special at the New York
Athletic club games was his by a block
Also the quarter and half mile military
championships, and numberless special
races at minor meetings. Sheppard's run
ming in the relays was superb in almost
every instance. He was especially effective
in the shorter one-mile relay. At the
Sixty-ninth regiment armory one evening
the half mile champion running on the
Irish-AmeT1can Athletic club one-mile team
started eighteen yards behind r Koch, the
crack New Nork Athletic club double fur
longer. and yet flashed his emblem even
cut down such gap on runner like Koch
means fifty seconds going out doors.
The most interesting part Of Sheppard 8
phenomenal season is the fact that he has
not trained a bit for his races It IS re-
ported that he will not be able TO go to the
Olympic games on account of business
engagements.
A rumor is current that in the event OF
his appointment as a member OF the Arleri-
can Olympic team next month Bobby
Fowler. the crack Boston Marathon run
ner, will be protested as a professional 1t
is charged that Fowler has beer employed
as rubber" by the Harvard university
athletic authorities for sone time and has
thus disqualified himself from the amateur
ranks 1t seems that Fowler was protested
in the recent Boston Marathon race on the
same grounds but no action was taken.
The fact of Fowler's alleged infracticn
of the amateur rules became known
through a remark dropped to local athlete
