Lincoln, Nebraska, July 4: The
front porch feature of the presiden-
tial campaign began at Fairview to-
day. Mr.. Bryan addressed delega-
tions from eight states to the din and
refrain of bursting fire-crackeTs four
miles away, and Mrs. Bryan saw the
beginning of the end of her lawn.
Train after train emptied their loads
of human freight at Lincoln into the
arms of a large and industrious re-
ception committee. They marched
through the streets, past flags and
bunting and pictures of Bryan bearing
the legend: Welcome to Bryan's
town." and took the trolley cars for
the Democratic mecca. All told the
delegates received up to 5 o'clock
numbered eight hundred, to say moth
ing of other visitors. Mr.. Bryan
beamed upon them, he smiled at
them, he welcomed them with cheer
pass in review before the White House
on March 5th, next. Bryan broke a
rule of his political life in comment
ing upon a factional fight in a state
to the disparagement of one faction
and Tom L. Johnson, who stood near
by, followed with a brief talk in
which he said he was glad to hear Mr..
Bryan had spoken as he did. 1t was
National Committeeman Guffey, of
Pennsylvania, who came in for the
scoring.
Quite an interesting situation has
developed in Honduras during the
past few days, growing out Of the ar
rest in that country two weeks ago of
Francis G. and Albert w. Bailey
president and secretary of the Export
Shipping company of New Jersey.
Four or five weeks ago the Baileys
gathered together lot Of goods in
New York of various kinds, and ship
ped it on the steamer Goldsboro to
Honduras, with the deliberate inten-
ton of swindling their creditors. At
ter the vessel left New York the Bail
eys changed the name of the Colds
boro to the Atlantida, thus to all in
tents and purposes putting the Colds
boro out of existence. The creditors
OF the thieves in some way got on to
the destination of the vessel and gave
the information to the state depart
ment at Washington. The state de-
partment sent instructions to the Hon
duraS authorities to arrest the Baileys
and hold the vessel until further no
tice. Finally, arrangements were made
with the Central American republic
whereby the Baileys and a part of the
Goldsboro'S crew were to be extradit-
ed. A police officer from New York
was sent down for the runaways and
on Wednesday the party started for
the United States Francis G.. Bailey
in some manner as yet unknown,
managed to make his escape from
the vessel, landed on the Honduran
trace. The government of Honduras
is making every effort to recapture
him. The most interesting part Of
the episode, however, lies in the fact
that while there is not supposed to be
an extradition treaty between this
country and Honduras, the eXtradi-
ton of the Baileys and party was
very easily arranged. There are a
great many American embezzlers, forg-
ers, murderers and other criminals
in Honduras and the ease with which
the extradition of the Baileys was ar
ranged. has greatly disturbed this
class of gentry, who, in most cases
have been living in Honduras in i'm
agined security and in many cases
leading respected lives.
