THREE SAVE DROWNING LAD
Tragedy Avcrtcd at Starin Dock by Heroic Act of Little
 Rows

Through the brave work of three It. tie lads who were in swimming near Starins dock, Adolph Bucanelli, j nine year-old lad of l63 Wooster street, was saved from being drowned In the New Haven harbor yesterday afternoon The little heroes, Alphonse Comardella of & Fair street, Frank Brndlsi of 279 Wooster street, and Paul O'Conare of Ii Olive street, went off together for an afternoon in the water. and were enjoying fine time when the Bucan- elli boy came down to the water iron, to watch them This lad cannot swim and began to play about a boat wh ch was moored there. He got on the boat and in some way fell landing in deep water.
 When the lads saw his predicament they started at once to swim out to him. He was but short distance away and they reached him after he had gone under once. As he came up he grasped Comardella by the hand and began to draw him down, but he got away. Then Paul O'Conare, the small est lad of the group and mere pigmy got his arm under the struggling boy and with the help of his two compan- ions the lad was pulled ashore.s
 When he got to land he was almost in complete exhaustion, but partly re- covered soon. He declared that he had swallowed a great deal of water. The three lads carried the boy home and delivered him to his parents little tho worse for his experience.

TO SAVE TREES
One Spray Recipe to Kill Elm Tree
 Beetles.

While the elm tree beetle is already in pretty far advanced stage for this summer and the eggs with, which most of the trees are loaded are about to hatch still there is a spossibil- ity of minimizing the damage which will be done by the exercise of care at the present time. The following Is said to be be a good recipe for spray ing the trees with, as given by the Connecticut Agricultural experiment station in this city: Half pound of soap melted in boiling water with two gallons of kerosene and the same amount of water, the whole stirred until 1t Is a creamy mass. When 1t is to be used nine parts of water should be added to get the right con sistency and then 1t can be used for spray. It Is suggested by one inter ested in trees hereabouts that this be used by many whose trees are In a bad condition.

Hobson of Merrmac fame was openly jeered in the democratic con vention tonight The convention was anxious to get down to business and weary of listening to flights of oratory, when to All in the gap caused by de- lay in the presentation of the creden- tials committee report, Mir. Ormonde of Florida, was recognized to move that Representative Hobson of Alabama, be invited to address the convention. Mingling with the cheers for "Hobson, Hobson, were many cries of No, No Chairman Bell put the motion to a viva voce vote and there was a rouslng storm of Aye and No" some of the delegates supplementing their negative votes by demands of "give us commit tee reports, we want to do business.
 Cheers and few misses followed Hobson to the stand, and he received a warm welcome as he stood behind Chairman Bell
 His first words Showed that he real ized that a speech at that particular moment was not entirely welcome to all of the delegates, for he declared that he would not venture to make an address did he not feel 1t his duty to do so and to deliver himself of the truth as he believed he saw it. He then began at some length to lead up to discussion of the Japanese incl dents of several months ago at Van couver and San Francisco.
 After Mr. lIobson had been speaking for fifteen minutes, the crowd began tc grow restless and cries of time" came from floor and gallery Chairman Bel called for order saying the speaker would conclude in q few moments.
 In concluding his address Congress man Hobson declared that If tho dem- ocratic party was successful in the election. he believed that It would. be- fore the end of four years have a great foreign war on its hands.

Demonstration of Unparalleled Length GreetS Mention of His Name in the
 Convention. DELEGATES ARE BEHIND IT Spectators Galleries Compara, lively Quiet During Hour and a Half of Continuous
 Uproar from the
 Floor.
DELEGATES ARE BEHIND IT

Denver, July S.-The early meeting of the convention, to-day, was produc- tive of little practical progress as the principal committees were not ready to report. But 1t had the effect of exploding the long pent-up Bryan en- thusiasm, which took the signal from Senator Cores eloquent reference to the Nebraska leader, and hurst into whirlwind of enthusiastic tribute last ing an hour and nineteen minutes with eight minutes more of" the expiring echo and of clamor, establishing the convention record of an hour and twenty-seven minutes, or full thirty minutes in excess of Roosevelts dem- onstration at Chicago, whi,h held the record until to-day. It was a de- cisiye exhibition of the ever-masterinS strength of the Bryan column and one of the most dramatic convention pictures ever presented US the stand- ards of the states were torn from their moorings and borle through the hall until they stood toee ther on the platform like an army of han- ners, proclairning their united allegl. ance to Bryan.
 Amid this storm of Bryan demon- stration the six standards of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Geor- gia, Minnesota and Connecticut stood rooted in their places, the rallying points of little groups unmoved by he frenzied scenes about them. Throughout the hour and nineteen minutes the deafening uproad con- tinued, ebbing and flowing in enthu- siasm, women joining with the men In bearing .he Bryan standards aloft, while the whole assemblagc of 12,000 people joined in the tumultuous dem- onstration.
 The early session lasted three hours and then, worn out with exertion and lacking the material to proceed with business, the convention recessed un- til tonight.
 In opening his speech Senator, Gore started the ball rolling. by saying: Fellow democrats: The great secre. tary of war came to Oklahoma and waged war against our constitution. He asked us to give up our right of liberty and f-government. But by vote of thousands upon thousands we rejected the advice of Taft and accepted the advice of Bryan"
 The mention of the name brought tho convention to It's feet in the first real Bryan demonstration. Delegates from nearly every state jumped to their chairs and yelled. Many members of the New York delegation joined in tho cheering, but a majority remained in their seats. . The only state standards that finally were left In their places were Georgia,

Agent.

When the county board meets
next week there will come up
before that body the question OF
allowing several bills for supplies
which some ofthe comfy officials
had ordered, failing through
either a misunderstanding or
neglect to secure the sanction of
the purchasing agent or county
clerk.
In the proceedings Of the 1907
session OF the county board there
was resolution offered by Sup
ervisor Bfohm of Conover, and
adopted by the body, making it
necessary that all claims for sup
plies must be made through the
purchasing agent or county
clerk, else those bills would not
be paid by the county.
The resolution adopted which
affects those who failed to secure
the sanction, reads as follows:
Resolved, by the county board Of
supervisors of Villas county, Wiscon-
sin, that the county clerk be and is
hereby instructed to notify each and
every county officer that all claims
for supplies must be ordered or .. KID
