MICHIGAN CONVENTION
SENDS BRYAN DELEGATES
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LANSING, Mich, May 20.-William
j. Bryan was indorsed today by the
state Democratic convention, and the
Michigan delegation to the national
convention was instructed to vote for
him under the unit rule until he is
nominated for the presidency.
The instruction was by unanimuos
vote of the convention, and at no time
during the session did the slightest op-
position to Mr.. Bryan develop.
Four delegates at large to the ma
tional convention were chosen by
unanimous vote, as follows: John T..
Winship. Woodbridge N. Ferris,
Charles H. Kimmerle and Edwin Ryan.
The convention was called to order
by State Chairman John =. Winship,
who said he believed the people of the
country are about to turn to the Demo-
cratic party for relief from overtaxa-
tion and other evils from which they
are now suffering.
A. M. Cummins of Lansing, the tenn
porary chairman, in the course Of his
address said:
who refused to take the tariff off
wood pulp that our resources may be
conserved and our people relieved from
oppression?
IF the Dingle,- tariff is very far
wrong today, 1t has been far wrong all
the time, and the leaders of the Re-
publican party have known 1t, but they
have consistently refused to pay at
tention to the wrong and oppression of
that tariff or to grant any relief of
their own will and pleasure, and they
continue to talk about revision when
the restlessness of the country under
its burdens becomes so apparent that
they fear defeat.
From now until November all the
dishonest wealth of the country. all the
seekers after special privilege, all those
who lay excessive and unjust tribute
on the necessities of the people will be
found arrayed against US, and their
name is legion and their strength is
great"

DEVELOPMENTS IN
THE M'COMAS TRIAL

Evidence for the prosecution shows
McComas killed Mrs. Charlotte l.. Noyes,
not In the room where he claims the
acid was thrown, but In the living room,
many feet away.
Efforts made by Attorney Rogers to
show that the gun, claimed by Nc
Comas to have been used against him
by Mrs. Noyes, was placed under the
covers of the bed by one of the police
detectives, were not borne out by the
testimony.
The prosecution admits the discovery
of the gun In the bed the day after the
shooting was kept from the knowledge
of the defendant and his attorneys, Rog-
crs and Schencl.
A neighbor testifies McComas and Mrs.
Noyes had had trouble before and thnt
she had heard Mrs. Noyes scream and
Elead: II can't do 1t. l can't do It'll?
Again, II Il stated the roll of rug
placed under Mrs. Noyes' head after she
was killed was placed there by McComns,
according 10 his own admission.

TEN STICKS OF DYNAMITE
DISCOVERED UNDER BRIDGE
Attempt Made to Blow Up New Rail-

by Struggle of Watch-
man
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 20.-An attempt
was made last night to blow up the new
bridge of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad over the Harlem
river at West Farms road. This fact
became known today when a valise con-
tanning ten sticks of dynamite was
found floating in the river and when
the watchman on the bridge told the
police that he had been set upon by
five men last night when he caught
them in the act of placing a charge of
dynamite under the structure.
The watchman succeeded in beating
the men off, and they fed when he fired
several shots at them. The valise con-
tanning the dynamite fell into the river.

"Under modern conditions there

For these reasons the sentence Is

ed flues, the balance to other causes,
including incendiarism, says Suburb

smoke that carries moisture with il

us tree barks are frequently struck.
For the same reason ice houses are
more attractive to lightning than

ance as to justify opening up a piano
establishment on as complete a basis

With this end in view he instructed
me to take three carloads of the
choicest and most costly makes of
pianos to be found in America, and
give a grand demonstration sale,
showing how we sell these superb
instruments at prices that others ask
for cheap grades. Every piano in
this magnificent stock of Grands,
uprights, pianos, and other
player pianos are brand new. just

ing diverted in shipment to this

"Smce my arrival in Pendleton. l
have gone over your beautiful city

most all points between San Fran
cisco and Seattle, l have never felt
more hopeful and enthusiastic about
Pendleton, and the fine surrounding
country. While we have enjoyed a
large business in the past from this

CHICAGO CHILDREN UNFIT
TO ATTEND AT school

Chicago, Sept. 5.-Ten thousand
school children in Chicago are insult
flciently nourished, some live con-
stantly on the verge of starvation.
and many are not sufficiently clad
to keep them in a healthy condition,
according to a report made to the
board of education, Specific instances
of poverty noted in a house-to-house
inspection are given in the report,
which Is regarded as reflecting on So
clal conditions in Chicago.
Many parents were found to sleep
so late that their children went to
school without breakfast. In one
house, where the father was out Of
work and the mother sick, the chill
dren were found to have lived three
days on dry bread and tea. In anoth-
er house six children reported that
they had lived on one meal a day. An
other mother, a seamstress said she
supported her four children on $3.50
a week. Numerous pupils reported
inability to attend school because of
insobriety of their parents.
