PARKER WILL BE
CHAIRMAN OF RESOLUTIONS
Democratic Leaders Striving TO Unite
the Party.

the Party.
New York, May S0.-The announce
ment that Alton B. Parker has been
chosen by Tammany for chairman of
the committee on resolutions for tho
Denver convention is looked upon as
extremely significant of efforts the
party leaders are making to establish
harmony in the east.
For along time 1t was believed Bry-,
an would have hard time with the
democrats of this state, but now it
appears the commoner has been ac-
cepted as the almost certain nominee.
Parker blamed Bryan for his defeat
in the last presidential race and less
than four months ago he gave an in
terview criticisng the Nebraskan.
State Chairman Corners said repeat
edly he believed any of half dozen
men would make a better race than
Bryan, but the information that Bry-
an and Tammany had agreed on
Parker for the Craftsmanship is prac-
tical assurance that Conners will not
object.

sEVEN-TEAM LEAGUE IS NOT WANTED

But little interest is being taken by
Pendleton ball players in the PROPOSE
ton of increasing the league to sew
en- members and in fact local men de-
clare that they are opposed to the
proposition.
During the past few days a move
ment has been on to bring Boise,
weiser and Payette into the Inland
Empire league. However thus far
nothing in the way Of definite,ac.
ton has been taken and until this
forenoon the proposition had not been
heard by Manager Lorimer.
According to Lorimer the present is
amply large and is all that he cares
to help handle. should the league be

but as he talked he became interest
ed and though he leaned on the chair
most of the time he was standing.
His feet are badly swollen he said, but
his troubles were physical.
He went directly to a barber shop
where he joked and talked as he was
being shaved. He spurned the car
riage offered and walked home. At
ter sleeping few hours it is his in
tention to return and resume his
speech.
Today's program is for Senator
Gore of Oklahoma to follow Stone,
then LaFollette will begin again.
Stone is expected to speak several
hours.
The longest previous filibuster was
conducted by Allen of Nebraska in
1890, when he defeated the silver
purchase law.
The surprising feature of the La
Toilette filibuster is the support he
received. when as the only republf.
can oppos..l4 the measure he appealed
to the democrats for aid.
Aldrich tried to get a vote on the
adoption of the conference report, but
stone was on his feet and ready to
talk, SO the motion was not put, Stone
being recognized by the chair.
Stone said: "I am going to follow
the lead of the Wisconsin senator. I
am more than with him in this fight. -
Members frequently interrupted
Stone, saying they couldn't hear, but
he refused to strain his voice. He
read lengthy editorials from pamph-
let's relative to the currency question.
Aldrich is often interrupting with

TEN COFFINS ARE

MYSTERY DEEPENS IN GRAVE
YARD CASE
Eleven Bodies Are Recovered, but No

yTANFORD UNIVERSITY, May H.
The mysterious graves located in the
hill back of the Stanford campus were
opened today by the university author
tiles.
In addition to the peculiar casket I'M
earthed several weeks ago by vandals
and supposed to contain tie remains
of the companion of Peter Croutty,
another smaller iron coffin was found,
together with nine wooden caskets.
The remains in every case, save
those encased in the metal boxes, were
in the last stages of decomposition,
little remaining but handful of bones
or wisp of hair.
The discovery of the little iron cas-
ket resting beside that of the one for
merly brought to light, has added to
the mystery, but has done little to-
wards solution, as it is unmarked,
as was lie other.
In the entire graveyard, as such the
plot evidently was, not single head
board or tombstone has been found,
and the identity of all the bodies Is
lost forever with the transfer of the
remains.
The site where the bodies were un-
earthed today will be used IS building
lots. The remains were placed in sep
arate collins today and taken for re-
burial to the Alta Mesa cemetery at

SAN FRANCISCO. May 11.-James
L. Gallagher, chairman of the finance
committee and leading member of the
Schmitz board of supervisors, had an
in the trial of Abraham Ruef, for
whom he confessed to having acted as
agent in the various bribery transac-
tions. 1t was Gallagher's third day on
the stand, and he was under cross eX-
animation, redirect and recrosS exam
ination during the day, counsel for the
defense finally getting through with
him at o'clock
Gallagher, while at times confused
and tangled up by the rapid fire of
questions of Henry Ach, chief counsel
for Ruef and vague and indefinite as
to time and places of conversations, dog
gedly stuck to his story that Ruef in
structed him to inform the other su~
pervisors that each member of the
board would receive $3.50 to pass the
Parkside trolley franchise, Ruef pre-
viously having told him to hold up"
the Parkside peoples application until
he could see about it,
Miss L. H. Condor, shorthand repor-
ter, was placed on the stand to testify
to the correctness of her notes of Gal
lagher'S testimony.
Ruef's trial is now in it's sixth week.
and in order to hasten it's conclusion
Judge Dooling will hold night sessions
all this week.
Jennings J. Phillips, the former su-
pervisor, whom Ruef, through Gallag-
her, is charged with having offered a
bribe of $1,000, which is the particular
indictment upon which he is now on
trial, was placed upon the stand to-
night. He testified to Gallagher telling
him that there "would be $1,000 in it"
to pass the ordinance granting the
Parkside franchise.

COMMITTEE FROM ST. LOUIS
SOLICITS HIS AID
ASKS FOR HALT TO FURTHER
RADICAL LEGISLATION
Getting Better and DepIores Prev-

BY Associated Press,

By Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 11.-A commit
tee from the National Prosperity asso-
Roosevelt today to urge his aid in
furthering their plans for encouraging
the return of prosperity throughout the
country. The committee found the
president cordial in his treatment and
frank in his expressions of willingness
to aid them in every way possible. A
speech was made by e. c.. Simmonds,
chairman of the executive committee
of the association, which was responded
to by the president. Mr.. Simmonds, on
behalf of the association. urged that a
halt be called to radical, hasty and
experimental legislation designed to
regulate industry"
Explaining the purposes of the asso-
ciation, Mr.. Simmonds said: "'The as
sociation has been designed, in the first
place, to promote confidence among our
business men, and, in the second place,
through cooperation with you, to i'm
press this confidence upon all our own
people and the world at large. The
association will facilitate interchange
of opinion among the 100000 non-parti-
san business organizations.
Business has suffered too much al
ready from demagogic agitation; there
fore the association will seek relief from
continued agitation by professional agi-
tators. 1t will deprecate the unworthy
spirit which arrays class against class.
1t will seek that unity of brotherhood
which you have proclaimed.
Appeals to Both Parties
"A national political campaign is
opening. Platforms are to be adopted.
The National Prosperity association
will ask for fairminded consideration of
business conditions by both parties. But
the association does not believe pros
perity depends upon politics; 1t is con-
WINGED that business may revive, that
the unemployed may find work and that
the normal volume of trade may be
reached without waiting for the No
vember elections. TO that end the asso-
citation will address itself"
The president responded as follows:
"I am in hearty sympathy with the
avowed object of the National Prosper
ity association. 1t is excellent. We
have gone far up in uprooting abuses
which threaten our national life. Taken
as a whole, the standard of honesty in
our business has been high, and today
the standard is, 1 believe, beyond what
it ever has been, and this largely be-
cause we have made determined war
upon the abuses that lowered it. AS
you have said. the depression and stag
nation from which our country is now
happily beginning to recover were not
caused by reform legislation but by the
revelation of shocking conditions In
certain of our corporations by reason
of operations in high finance: by
calamity and by certain striking,
though, l believe, exceptional instances
of business and civic dishonesty.
"Of course all good men must agree
with you in your condemnation of un-
wise agitation. The apathetic accept
ance of abuses in our government and
business administration is no more
