Denver, July 4---The American eagle

one of the most lurid Fourth of Julys
in its brief but strenuous existence.
Throughout the day the streets have
been ablaze with color. an incessant din
of cannon and crackers has mingled
with the enthusiasm of arriving po-

crept over the prairie from every d.

multitude already here. Tonight the

myriad of lights; the streets pulsate

Denver, July 4.-Since giving his APP

cratic platform some months ago, ii is
said upon authority that Mr.. Bryan
has not written prospective platform

ton, nor has he made drafts OF plankS

The Nebraska state platform, now
ever, was drawn entirely upon national
issues, and Mr.. Bryan has let II be
known, both, at Lincoln and Denver,
that the planks in this document repre-
sent precisely and exactly his views
on every public question intended I'd

Idaho Fight on Mormon Cues.
ton Factor in Demo-
cratic Convention.

Denver, July 4.-The contesting dele
CATION from Idaho, which seeks to un-
seat the delegation headed by ex-Sena-
tor Dubois, has decided to enter a pro-
test against the subcommittee of the
national committee selected to pass on
the Idaho contest previous to the tenn
porary organization of the Democratic
convention.
The controversy in Idaho turns upon
the Mormon question. Senator DUBOIS
and his assistants were chosen because
of their anti Mormon proclivities, and 1t
is known that if they are permitted to
retain their seats they will make siren
uous- efforts to secure a plank in the
platform IN denunciation of polygamy
and the interference by the Mormon
church in politics.
This the contesting delegation is de-
sirous of heading off, and on this ac-
count. more than any other, VIII seek
TO have the Dubois delegation ousted.
The first hearing on the subject Will be
held Monday.
Both Factions Present.
The members of the anti-Dubois dele
cation, who will not admit that they
are contestants, but claim tnty WERE
selected in regular session, arrived here
today. as did some members of the Du-
bois faction.
The anti-Dubois delegation is headed
by Judge X. l. Perky of Boise, and in
cIudes John F. Nugent, S. j. Rich,
and James H Hawley in the delegation
of twelve.
As Told by Mr.. Rich.
THE Dubois people tried to capture
the convention at Twin Falls. said
Mr.. Rich today, land we stopped them.
We had the majority of the delegates,
but in calling the roll for the selection
of a chairman they refused to call four
of our principal counties. When they
did this we took Judge Perky and put
him on the platform as chairman and
proceeded to transact business. The
Dubois people later, in the same hall,
selected their delegates. We believe we
have regularity on our side. and If there
is anything in merit we VIII win out
before the committee"
Simon p. Donnelly, national commit
teeman from Idaho and member OF
the Dubois delegation, arrived this
morning. He declared the delegation
had nothing to fear from the contest
! to be heard on Monday morning.

CiBLE WITH GERMAN
AMERICAN SUPPORT.

Denver. July 4.-Herman Ridder of
New York, proprietor of the New York
Stats Zeitung, for vice president.
Upon good authority this is said TO be
the Bryan preference at the present
time. With the arrival in Denver early
today of several prominent Democrats
who are close to the confidence of the
Nebraskan came the report that Mr..
Bryan had decided that Mr.. Rider
was strongly available for the nomi-
nation. Not that he expects TO dictate
to the convention the man who shall
be named, but to let it be known to his
supporters the name of the man who
he believes would strengthen the ticket.

The Argument is Strong.

he believes would strengthen the ticket
The Argument Is Strong.
According to the reports which have
come from Lincoln, tie reasoning OF
the Bryan managers in their sugges-
ton of Mr. Ridder for vice president is
as follows:
Mr. Ridder is one of the most promi-
nent citizens of German descent in the
United States He was a gold DEM
ocrat" and possesses in fullest meas
ure the confidence of that wing of the
party He has been affiliated with
the conservative wing of the Democ-
racy for the last twelve years and
would command the support of that ele-
ment for the ticket.
A very large per cent of the popula
ton of the United States are German
or of German descent. In New York
state, the electoral vote of which state
Mr.. Bryan is anxious to carry if NOM
mated, "a per cent of the population
are of German extraction.
Ridder Fills the Bill.
1t is said to be the idea of Mr.. Bryan
that he must have a man as his run
ming mate who will represent that wing
of the party which has antagoniZed him
in the past He is said to prefer gold
not support him in either of the last
two campaigns: who can command the
| support of the German-American vote
of the country: who comes from New
! York state and who favors tariff re-
vision and other policies of Mr.. Bry-
ans.
Mr.. Ridder fills all of these qualifi-
cations, the Bryan people claim. He
did not support Mr.. Bryan for the pres
| idency, either in 1896 or in 1900. Mr.
Ridder has already Informed Mr.. Bry-
an personally that while he is strongly
opposed to Mr.. Bryan's nomination this
year. he will, if the latter is nominat-
ed. support him, and will lend him also
his active personal aid.
| Ridder in Denver.
! Mr. Ridder arrived in Denver this
morning and announced his unaltered
antagonism TO Bryan's candidacy, and
stated that he would at once inaugu-
rate a campaign among the delegates
to this convention to encompass the
defeat of the Nebraskan- He said that
as soon as he had rested from his rail-
way journey he would begin his work
among the Bryan and uninstructed del
egates in an effort to convince them
| that Bryan could not carry New York
this year; and that the electoral vote of
| New York was necessary to the sue
cess of the national-ticket. Mr.. Ridder
gives il as his unqualified opinion that
| Mr.. Bryan cannot carry New York.
He cites as his reason for this the
memory which still fingers in the minds
of the New York voters of Mr.. Bry-
ans free silver views, which they dis
approved.
Also, the statement which he made in
his Madison Square garden address in

New YORK, July 23.-Contrary to ex-
pert ,tions, no financial plan was sub
mitted to the stockholders of the Viz
ginia- Carolina Chemical Co. at their
annual meeting in jersey City yesterday.
An official statement WAS made about q
month ago that plan was under way
for bond issue of approximately
$l5, 0OO,00 One Of tle Of the foan-
clers identified with the company
said yesterday, hoWevtr, that this
entire plan had been abandoned
by the directors. Officials have jnst
returned from sn inspection OF the cor

and they express themselves very
optimisticslly regarding It's affairs and
the future possibilities for business. In
the circumstances 1t was felt that tie

especially since a satisfactory price tor

Mclaughlin, who claims Lowell, Mass,
as his home, shiyers and shakes with the
sound of foot steps. That he is alive to-
day and not swinging from a tree in
Kirk Park, a victim OF lynch law, is due
to the heroism and determination of
syracuse police. Mclaughlin is charged
with attacking 6-year-old Irene Lock
wood. The child with her parents hsd
attended q picnic and strayed away. A
little later two women heard The child
cry. The sound WAS from weeds near
by, end soon afterwards Mclaughlin
emerged with Irene behind him. The
man's appearance aroused their aus
picions, and they soon had him under
arrest. In her baby way the child told
what hsd happened and cries OF ''lynch
him =" came from all quarters. A squad
of officers detailed in the park fought of
the frenzied mob and landed their pris-
oner in the back room of saloon while
they ttlsphOned for help. Mclaughlin
was finally hustled into the wagon and

Kendall Thaw is now practically kept In
solitary confinement in the county Jail
here. In addition to transferring the
prisoner to the regular Jail and giving
him a bed in n cell, Sheriff Chanler to-
day announced that Thsw WAS to receive
no more visitors except his wife, his
mother and Charles Mor.chsuser, his
counsel.
Mr.. Morschsuser stated today that
Thaw lost 81, 300 yesterday on a stock
transaction because he was not allowed
to use the telephone.
After half an hours visit with Thaw
this morning Mr.. Morschanser had msde
no complaint against the rule, but would
make the best of the situation. Thaw
is no longer allowed to play the organ in
the Jail, and it has been locked up. 1t
is said that this WAS done because Thaw' 8

The Olympic Games,

London, July 23.-The breach be-
tween the athletes of England sad the
United States increases with every day
of the Olympic meet.
At the opening of today's programme
il was evident that the English and Co.
lonial athletes had formed an alliance
against the Americans. White the Bit
tsrness bet 8een the two has hardly been
sufficient to warrant an official interior
ence. it was plainly evident u the big
crowd ard provocative of hooling and
sarcastic remarks from spectators and
athletes alike. Today London papers were
filled With communications from resent
ful Brlishers who emptied their vials OF
wrath upon the United States athletes
for their charges Of nnfairness against
the Olympic management.
OF course, Great Britain refuses to
concede that the United States athlet .s
lead, sill clingiDg to the one point for
frsts as the only system and counting
every event. Still she can't get over
the fact that in the regular Olympic
event, the Americans had rs points to

of war and the points made by Canadian,
Au.tralian and South African athletes
are added to her tai.
The storm of hatred between the Eng.
lish and American competitors in the
Olympic games broke this afternoon in
the running OF the final OF the 400
meters race.
Ia the first running of this race Car
peuler and Robbins, two Americans,
who finished first and second respective
ly, were chsrged with forcing Lieuten-
ant Hslswell, the pride of England, of
the track at the last bend Of the course.
The race was voided on this account and
terrific Outburst of "boOiug" from
the English sections greeted the heat.
1t was charged that Carpenter and
Robbins presrrsnged the scheme to de-
feat Halswell, and the race was ordered
re-run.
The hostility of the crowd toward Oar

THURSDAY EVENING. JULY %, 1908.

The CITY of Chester, Pa, has been
the scene Of an instructive object lesson
in the effects Of the free use of boycott
ting and its value as a strike weapon
For three months a strike of the Chester
street car employees was supported by
rigid public boycott against the traction
company. The result hiss been the
paralyzing Of the city's trade, depreciS-
ton of values, the piliDg up of q heavy
public debt and the final reputation OF
the boycott by public opinion. The Gil
liens of Chester are contemplating a
general paralysis of trade, a weakening
of credit, loss of population through
the departure of hundreds OF people
thrown out of work and R consequent
depreciation in property values; the city
and county are facing a heavy increase
in debt owing to the expense of handling
the strike and bill for damages and
exnense directly connected Herewith
which will foot up between 5000, OOo
and $3.50, 600. At present Chester is
busy counting the cost of its three
months experience. 1t has come to the
conclusion, regretfully, that the game Is
not worth the price. More far reaching
than these visible effects Of the strlKe'
however, are others which are bound ID
affect the recovery of the ciiy's former
prosperity. These are the loss OF credi'
and confidence; the shaking OF the COM
munity's reputation as a place where law
and order are enforced and property Is
safe. A large industrial plant which
was planning to locate in Chester ana
which would have given employment to
several hundred men, has decided, since
the strike disorders, TO 90 elsewhere
