GUFFEY FINALLY DEPOSED.
Bryan Has His Way and Kerr Is Made
Committeeman,

DENVER. July s.-Immediabely after the
convention adjourned this afternoon the
Pennsylvania delegation. sitting in the hall.
elected James 8. Kerr national committee
man for the State to succeed Col j. NJ.
Guffey
The vote was S91S in favor Of Kerr and
2sH in favor Of Guffey.
The Kerr people put in substitutes in
place Of NJ. c. Rhone, j. X. Royal and James
Andrews, who at the caucus of the Penn
sylvania delegation on Monday. voted for
Guffey. There were seven other substi-
tutes, all but one of whom were entitled to
vote. This left the real strength of the
two men at $50 votes for Kerr and 32Ll
for Guffey.
Col. Guffey. however, early this morning
decided to make no further contest. The
convention had disfranchised the State and
had refused to give the State representation
on the committees of the convention.
Only ten days ago the Guffey men defeated
Kerr in his home district Of Pennsylvania by
vote of to 1. But Bryan had decided
that his committee on credentials should il
possible unhorse Guffey, and Bryan con-
trolled the committee on credentials by a
vote OF about 2 TO /. The committee at
Bryan's command carried out his wishes.
As q matter OF fact Col. Guffey. 10 he had
decided to make contest, could easily have
been reelected national committeeman.
Il am quite content said Col. Guffey this
evening ito rest my case with the Demo-
Gratis Of Pennsylvania. am more than con-
tent to have it known to all Democrats Of the
country that Bryan In his efforts to defeat
me for reelection antagonized in thia con-

SAVANNAH, Ga, July 9.--Aooording to
w. B. Stillwell Of the Southern Pine
Company, prominent lumber men Of the
South and Southwest are about to form
a $500 900 900 lumber combine to control
business in the South and middle West, with
the consent Of President Roosevelt and
Herbert Knox Smith, Commissioner OF
Corporations. 1t will be sort of tame trust
that eats from the Government's hand.
Mr.. Stillwell when he heard that a COM
bination Of lumbermen was perfected yes

MI know the gentlemen who are prominent
in this movement and 1 have no doubt

Bell Company of Kansas City are behind

have this scheme on foot while In Washing
ton and was with them when they called on
President Roosevelt and talked the situation
over with him.
When the subject was first broaohed the
President declared 1t was against the law,
but when it was explained to him that the
idea was to make 1t as beneficial to the
Government as to the promoters he
said any agreement arranged between
Gin lord Plnchot, the Government forester,

sioner Of Corporations, would be satisfao-
tory to him.
A tentative agreement was made up and

agreement the new concern agrees to leave

PLANS OF THE WABASH SYSTEM.
May Use the Great Falls and Old DominiOn
Road to Enter Washington.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-What is thought
to be the groundwork Of an enterprise to
Let the Wabash system into Washington
was read between the lines Of a mortgage
that was filed to-day with the Recorder of
Deeds by the Great Falls and Old Dominion
Railroad Company to secure an issue Of
bonds to the amount Of $1,000 900.
The mortgage is made to the American
Security and Trust Company of
Washington and is executed by both John
R. Mel ,esn. president OF the railroad COM
pany, and Charles j. Ball, president Of
the American Surety and Trust Company
The proceeds of the bonds are to be used
to secure acquisitions to the property of
the company and the buying Of other roads.
The mortgage also sets forth that the road
has been constructed entirely from the
sale Of stock and represents an actual cost
Of about 81 900 900.
The Great Falls and Old Dominion Rail-
road is a standard gauge trolley road run
ming from Rosslyn. Va, along the Potomac
River to Great Falls Va. a distance Of four
teen miles. Senator Elkins and other West
Virginia capitalists are among its stock
holders, and 1t is popularity supposed that
the right of way will eventually be used
by the Wabash system. which by conneo-
ton with the Western Maryland will enter
Washington.
