ABOUT THAT $500 BET.
Citizens Want to Wager an
Outcome but Can't Get
Together.

The proposed Cox-Fredrich bet on
the result of the race between Carter
and Grant still hangs fire, and Mr..
Cox feels that he has not been repre-
sented correctly. The amount was for
five hundred dollars and Mr.. Cox de-
clares that his portion of the wager
is still in a local bank. Mr. Friedrich
declares that his $500 was put up in
the bank and lay there for seven DAYS
uncovered. He was notified that such
was the case and withdrew the amount.
Mr.. Cox declares that he took his
money TO the bank and supposed that
he was covering Mr.. Fredrich's bet and
that the money is still there awaiting
any one who wants to cover it.

DEMOCRATS ADVISE
ANGRY WHITING MAN
Meekison Angered at Their Refusal
Declares He Would Mandate Elec-
ton Commissioners to Have His
Name Placed on the Democratic
Ticket.
Especial to THE T1MEsl.

Crown Point. Ind, Oct 21.-It was a
stormy session for George A. Meeki-
son Of whiting, who would be a child
of the democratic party but has been
rejected, when he went before the
board of election commissioners at
Crown Point yesterday and tried to
have his name placed on the democratic
ticket as the democratic candidate for
prosecuting attorney of Lake and Por-
ter counties
The board of election commissioners
looked him over and then told him that
ii would be impossible for him to have
his name placed on the ticket Meeki-
son thereupon went into a rage and
declared that he would mandate the
board of election commissioners to
permit him to put his name on the
ticket and that he would sue the COM
nrtssioners for the salary of prosecu-
tor.
Lawyers Advised Him.
There were such lawyers as John b.
Peterson and Johannes Kopelke, both
good democrats. who advised that
Meekison's name be kept of the ball
lot and so the board of election COM
missioners unanimously voted TO re-
ject his name. and the young lawyer

SOME FAST GOING
 Al SHEEPSHEAD BAY
The Track Record Broken and the Worlds Record Nearly EqEaled.

Sheepshead Bay, June 27.-Before a crowd of 15,000 persons. August Bel monts Fair Play, carrying top weight, 126 pounds. won the S25, 900 Coney Is land Jockey Club stakes at Sheeps- head Bay today, defeating a high class field of three year olds. Fair Play was admirably ridden by Notter. Hessian was second, King James third The time 2:31 1-5 fer the mile and half, equals the track record made by Stal- wart in 1904. and less than a second slower than the record time for the distance made by Goodrich at Chicago in 1898
 The race was robbed of its main in terest by Colin and Celt not starting. The two Keene colts are under a vet erinarians treatment and upon his ad- vice Keene did not send them to the post for the rich event. Five horses faced the starter.
 A result of the great trial for the s25, ,0G0 stakes showed that John E. Madden had the best two year old of the year. His two colts run, one, two, Sir Martin winning with Fayette sec ond, and Helmet third. The ride J. Lee put up on Maddens colt, Sir Mar tin, is considered by many horsemen the best ride seen here in years. The Madden entry carried top weight, 129 pounds.

City of Mexico, June 27.-Uprisings in the northern part of this republic will now become the subject of inter- national correspondence. Communica- tiOns from Minister of Foreign Affairs Mariscal have been sent to the state department in Washington today. This condition arose out of the fact that the raiders who shot up the town of La Las Vacas yesterday are now on American soil claiming the protection of the United States. In an interview granted the correspondent of the As sociated Press, Vice President Corral declared that the government had sue ceeded in unraveling the conspiracy which prompted the recent attacks on the towns of Viesca and Las Vacas. in which a number oe lives were lost, much property destroyed and $20,OO0 in cash secured by the looters.
 This whole trouble has been caus- ed," declared the vice president by three irresponsible agitatOrs and an- archiSts who are at present residing in the United States. Thrse men are Enrique Flores Magon of Los Angeles, Thomas Sarabis of San Antonio, and P. Auraujo of Austin, Texas, who re- gently appealed to the criminal and ignorant element on tie border states of Mexico, melting them to raid cer- tain designated towns for the purpose of robbing the banks and government offices under the plea that the funds could be raised for the cause of the alleged revolution.
 Tt was planned to make a convert ed attack or Ciudad Juarez. the bor- der town opposite Fl Paso; on c. P. DiaZ. opposite Eagle Pass. Texas; on Las Vacas, across the Pic -Grande from Del Rio and on Viesca, and a couple other towns. The plan was to rob the banks and offices. The Mex ican- consul at Fl Paso got wind of the affair and informed the municipal au- thorities with the result that the would-be raiders are now languishing in jail in that city. In all other places. with the exception of Viesca and Las Vacas, the plans miscarried. In the attack on the latter place, fif- teen men were killed but no money was secured. The commander of the Mexican forces was shot twice in the arm. All the raiders immediately fled back into Texas when they were re- pulsed.
 As to the Viesca bandits, there true character was shown when after se-

will be roped off. for the procession of the crowds passing through the main body of the delegates while the band will play march music in rapid time.
 The selection of the temporary chairman is in direct accord with the wishes of MT. Bryan, as announced several days ago. He said he strongly favored former Representative Bell and Representative Clayton of Alaba- ma for the temporary and permanent chairmanships. While he was not par ticular as to which man secured either position, he believed they should, be- tween the, preside over the entire de- Alterations of the conventions. Mayor Dahlman of Omaha, a warm personal friend Of Bryan, and a member of the arrived at Denver early today and brought with him the latest news from Lincoln. He declared that the position of Bryan as to the chair manships was unchanged.
 Mayor Dahlman is generally credited with having in his possession the plat form which will be submitted to the convention, but he did not bring it. ''I talked with Bryan about the platform which should be adopted by the con vention. It is generally understood throughout the country on what kind of a platform Bryan is willing to stand and (the public knows as much about it as l dO"
 When asked whether or not the "in- junction" plank will be inserted in the platform Dahlman admittedthat in this respect the platform of the coming convention would probably differ from that of former Bryan platforms. He declared however, that nothing as yet should be determined in this respect. In all probability the entire matter would await the probable visit of a number of men prominent in labor movement to the Bryan home at Lin- coin. This conference, he said, might be held the early part of next week.
 Dahlman said that Bryan had con sidered only the names of Theodore A Bell and Henry D. Clayton in connec- tion with chairmanships. He was not prepared to say how the names of Judson P Harmon. Governor Folk and Senator Bailey would strike Bryan, al- though he knew, he said, that Bryan had a warm friendship for Harmon At the same time it was Bryan's opin- ion that the permanent chairmanships should go to a southern state.
 The members of the committee to- night were entertained at dinner by Mayor Robert w. Speer and tomorrow they will take an excursion into the northern part of the state, returning on Monday morning.

 The Right Rev. James J. Keane, archbishop of Wyoming, suggested for the prayer on the opening day of the convention, was unanimously chosen. | It was decided to leave the selection 1 of chaplains for subsequent sessions of the convention with Chairman Taggart and the appointment of additional sec retaries and sergeants-a -at-arms with 1 Secretary Woodson and Sergeant-at- ] arms Martin. The number of reading and tally clerks is put at a maximum of fifteen.
 The committee then took up the question of seating the delegates and alternates already chosen from the Philippine Islands. After a brief dis cussion :t was decided to present the rule established by the national con- vention of 1904, seating the Philippine delegates with their alternates, and without votes. The national conven- tion of 1904 decided that the delegates from the Philippines could not be re- ceived because the islands were not properly a part of the United States, and that no delegates to the national convention could be legally sent from there.
 A lengthy discussion over the ap- portiOnment of tickets occupied the committee until it adjourned. No set clement was reached and the entire matter went over until Tuesday at 4 D. m. when another meeting will be held.
 The demand for tickets of admission is unprecedented. A national cOnven- tion in the west is much more of a novelty than when it is held in Chicago or any other large city in the central states. Practically the entire political population of Colorado and the states Immediately adjoining seem to possess the idea that tickets for themselves and parties of friends at all sessions of the convention can be had for the asking.
 Because Of the tremendous pressure which is being brought upon members of the national committee for admis- sion, it is possible that the session of the convention may be temporarily halted while processions composed of people who have been unable to, secure tickets shall be allowed to pass through the hall for the purpose of witnessing the aspect of a greatnational cOnven- tion.

SYRACUSANS
 THE LEADERS
In the Great Inter.Univer.
 Sity Regatta
They Took the Four Mile Race and Most Other Events.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 27.-With swinging sweeps and powerful strokes which carried the slender shell through the water at all but record pace, the Syracuse Varsity crew won the big four mile race today for univer- sity- eight -oared crews. They headed Columbia by less than third of a. length and Cornell by a bare length at the finish line after one of the most hotly contested and most inter esting regattas in the eleven years history of collegiate racing on the Hudson course.
 Incidentally, Syracuse took from Cornell the trophy which is the tok- en of victory in the race for the var sity challenge cup, presented in 1898 by Dr. Louis L. Seaman of Cornell to be held by the winner for one year.
 The crew from Syracuse won by the power behind the blades and by supe- rior watermanship. Columbia and Cornell rowed finely throughout the contest and pressed the winner hard the last mile. Pennsylvania's eight made the pace for nearly three miles and then went to pieces, finishing six lengths behind Cornell. Wisconsin was reckOned a contender until the three mile mark was passed at the POughkeepsie bridge, when J. w. Wilse, No. ,, collapsed and put the western crew out of the contest He soon recovered and the Wisconsin men rowed bravely on, even though Wilse fell over on his oar again. He again revived sufficiently to swing an oar as the Wisconsin crew swept over the finish line more than a min ute behind Syracuse.
 The winner was greeted by the roar of many voices, shrieks of whistles and sirens and the reports of explod- ing bombs set off from the bridge.
 Syracuse won also for the second time the race for the university four cared shells for the Kennedy chal- lenge trophy-the first race of the day-leading the Pennsylvania crew over the line by nearly two lengths, covering the distance, two miles, in 10:50 4-5. Columbia crossed the line third, three lengths behind Pennsyl- vania, which fouled the Columbia's boat the last half mile. The judges Pennsylvania, and award ed Columbia the place of hOnors. Syracuse was the actual winner, but many felt that but for a mishap Cor nell would have won the race. There were no coxwains in the race. The shells were steered by the bow oar and Cornell went wide of the course and ran the boats sharp prov plump into marking buoy at the one quar- ter mile mark. The craft stuck there until help arrived. When the coli- sion occurred she had lead of four lengths and was drawing rapidly away from competitors.

Denver, June 27.-Theodore A. Bell of California today was chosen tempo rary chairman of the democratic na- tional convention by the committee on convention arrangements. No selec- ton was made for the~pernanent chair manship, the matter going over until a meeting of the full national committee can be held. The names most promi- nently mentioned in this connection at present are Representative Clayton of Alabama. Judson P. Harmon of Ohio, Governor Joseph w Folk of Missouri and Senator Bailey of Texas.
 Other appointments made by the committee on convention arrangements which unquestionably will be made permanent. were: General secretary, Grey Wo0dson of Kentucky; assistant general secretary, Edwin Selton of Washington. D. C.: ergeant-at-arms, John l. Martin of Missouri; chief as sistant sergeant-at-arms, J. C. Tenn of Indiana: chief door keeper, Eugene w. Sullivan of Illinois; parliamentar- ian. J. D. Crutchfield of Kentucky; chaplain, the opening day, Right Rev. James J. Keane. archbishop of Wyom- ing: official stenographer. M. w. Bumberg. Washington, D. C.
 Those present at the committee meeting today were Chairman Thomas Taggart. of Indiana; Secretary Urey Woodson. Roger C. Sullivan of Illinois; R. M Johnson of Texas, James Dahl man Of Nebraska. Norman E. Mack of New York, Governor John E. Osborne of Wyoming. Two members, John T. McGraw of West Virginia and Clark Howell of Georgia were absent the proxy of the former beingheld by Sul- livan of Illinois. while Urey WoOdson represented Howell.
 It was rumored early in the day that Roger C. Sullivan, chairman of the committee orr convention arrange ments, might head fight against the election of Bell as temporary chair man. It was said that while Bell is known tO be favored by " J. Bryan, he was not strongly desired by SuIli- van and some of his friends reported that six votes out of the total Of nine would be cast against Bell when his name was mentioned. No fight devel- oped however, the temporary chair man being selected within a few min utes after the committee met without another name being suggested. R. M. Johnston of Texas offered the motion selecting Bell as temporary chairman and it was promptly adopted.
 The committee then selected Urey Woodson, secretary of the national committee to be secretary of the con- vention, and named Edward Sefton of Washington, who is assistant general secretary of the national committee, to

Is Like to Become an Affair Between the
 Two Republics
The Mexican Government Has Taken Up With Wash ingtOn the Cases of the Raiders Who Fled Into Texas.

curing s2O,0OO from the branch of the Bank Nuevo Leon, they fled with the money. Mexican troops are now pur- suing them in the wilds of Durango. The government places absolutely no political significance or importance in these recent happenings for the reason that not one of the participants was a representative citizen. Where they are not of the criminal class, they are the poorest and most ignorant repre- sentatives of the lower class who have been preyed upon by designing char latans in the United States.
 "The outcome of the Viesca affair will be simple. These poor ignorant men without a leader will be hunted down in the wilds of Durango by Mex ican troops. The Las Vacas affair un- fortunately presents a more important situation, as most of the raiders are in Texas and claim protection on the plea that the offense is of a political nature and not extraditable. Some of the participants claim to be citizens of the United States. According to report received by the consulate today both the respective governments will take up the entire matter. Everything is quiet at present and the government does not think that a shadow of 8 chance for further trouble exists"
