GREAT SCENES
At CONVENTION
Denver Gathering Unique and
One That viii Be Leng
Remembered.
Ernest G. walker.

(Mail Special to the Advertiser.)
DENVER, July 11.-The Democratic
ticket is afield. The Democratic Ma
tional Convention has adjourned after
four days session. William .Jen-
nings Bryan was named for President
after most remarkable demonstrations,
unequaled in duration and intensity by
any of the national conventions in the
history of either great political party.
John w. Kern of Indiana, foremost
Democrat in Hoosierdom, like the first
man on the ticket, a mighty crusader
for reform. ideas, and also, like him,
defeated twice for a popular Office, was
nominated with very little show of en-.
thusiasm.
The convention will stand out as
unique indeed. Whether BRYAN wins
or whether Bryan loses, politicians we'll
be talking for fifty years about the
convention of 1908 in Denver and tell
ing "reminiscences thereof. 1t is some.
thing to have been in Denver during
that politically historic week
First of all, perhaps, one might say
that no national convention was ever
held so far West, and also that no ma.
tional convention was ever before so
splendidly housed or so Hospitality en-
tertained. Denver simply outdid her
self and all her sister cities, dozen
or more, that have entertained nation
al conventions. The Auditorium was
new, spic and span from the hands of
the builders. 1t was spacious, modern.
ly equipped in every particular. For
its purpose no more substantial build
ing rears it's top in this city. That is
saying much, because Denver is city
of splendid buildings, splendid bust.
ness blocks, splendid residences. Two
or three columns of newspaper space
would not more than adequately de-
scribe it. Suffice it to say that it rep
resents the best in architecture and
construction of great auditorium build
ings in this country. 1t goes without
saying that it was magnifcently light.
ed, magnifcently decorated, and withal
was officered and manned in every par
ticular right up to the dot. The credit
for the latter was due quite as much
to the Democratic National Committee
as to the city of Denver. Nothing was
left undone to assure good order and
to facilitate the convenience and COM
fort of the multitudes and of the dele
gates.

PROMINENT JAPANESE AND
GEISHAS IN A RAID

rected against this place as dispen-
sary of hard drinks and on Saturday,
when there was a sound of revelry by
night, it was decided to raid. There
were eight in all in the raiding party
and the descent of the police came like
a bolt from the blue on SounOuchi and
his guests. The raiders made no ar
rests, contenting themselves with
searching the premises, seizing about
hundred bottles of beer, sake and
whskey for evidence and taking down
the names of those present as wit
nesses. Today formal complaint will
be sworn out against the proprietor,
while it is probable that there will
be a bunch of Federal Grand Jury sum
monses issue for doctors, editors. mer-
chants and attorney S clerks and for
the geisha girls of the japanese com
munity.
The raiders spent about two hours
searching the premises and taking
down names. Beneath the house they
found a couple of hundred dead sol
diers, while there was evidence that
there was no drought and that tea was
not the only drinkabie served.
A second raid was made later on on
another teal house at 50 School street.

warning had been received of the do

a large pile of empties were located.

suds still cHnging to the necks. No
arrests were made here either.

The raid made upon an alleged
blind pig' on Saturday night by
License Inspector Fennell, assisted by
Chief Kalakiela and his forces from
the police department, resulted in the
rounding up of many of the leading
professional and business men of the
local Japanese community, the seizure
of large quantity of forbidden iuiee
and great scurrying around among
the geisha girls. The raiders inter
fered with the current of gaiety of
several banquets, stilIed the Joyful
tum-tuming of the samisens and stop
ped for the time being the merry cir
cling of the flowing bowl.
The premises raided were the Pea
body houses at the corner of Vineyard
and River streets, occupied by Sounou-
chi. Here a japanese tea-house had
been established. where it is the Gus.

TRIBUTE To
REV. EBERSOLE
An Illinois Paper Praises the
Pastors Qualifications
for His Work.

OF the Rev. Amos Ebersole, the as
sistant pastor of Central Union church.
the Sterling (Ill.) Gazette, of July 10,
says:
Tomorrow afternoon at 3:35. Rev.
Amos Ebersole and family will leave
for their future home in the Pacific.
They go by the Canadian Pacific to
Vancouver, where they take steamer
for Honolulu, which they expect to
reach in eight days. The distance is
$500 miles, or 200 miles further than
from San Francisco. The steamers be-
long to the Canadian line, and are ele.
giant and seaworthy vessels.
Mr.. Ebersole goes as assistant to DR..
Doremus Scudder, pastor of the lead
ing Congregational church in the is
lands. He is fortunate in the associa-
ton. For three generations, the Scud-
ders have been the missionary family
of America. DIR. John Scudder and
David Colt Scudder, members of two
different branches, both labored in
Southern India. John had seven sons
and two daughters, all in foreign gos-
pei work. fScudder s Appeal used
to be in the Sunday school Libraries
A promising field. Under supervi.
sion of the Central church are eighty
missions and schools, which need regu-
lar visitation. These are scattered
over the islands. The main Sunday
school has 500 scholars and fifty teach
ers. As the population is composite,
Americans, japanese, Chinese, natives,
the work will be of a varied and in
activities of those who labor among
them.
Honolulu ON the island of Oahu is
in latitude twenty-ene north of the
equator. Since the deposition of Queen
Lii and the American occupation in
1893, the city has grown rapidly, and
has now population of 10000, with
al the conveniences of Chicago ~eH New
York. A climate so delightful, <about
eighty the year round, that the islands
have been called the Paradise of the
Pacific. To quote the old hymn:
No chilling wind or poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore.
Mr.. Ebersole has had thorough
equipment for his inviting work as
teacher in common schools, college stu
dent, instructor in the Young Men s
association, and last of all, as a gradu
ate of the theological seminary at
Oberlin, where by dint of intense exer-
tion he condensed a course of three

and I did not go to him with the
$500 offer
LOOKING FOR EVIDENCE.
Sheriff Iaukea confirms practically
all that Isoi states, but was in the
deal for motive quite foreign to what
was supposed by Isoi.
"My intentions were to first secure
the money, so that there could be no
question as to the bribe having been
paid; then / was going to arrest IsOi
for attempting to bribe me.
"Some time ago ] explained this all
to some Of my advisers and it was
known to several inst what had tried
to do.

1901 OFFERED BRIDE
Of $1,000 To SHERIFF

Without vouching in any way for
the truth of the statements contained,
the Hawaii Shinpo on Saturday pub
lished an interview with Isoi, the
notorious japanese landlord from the
tenderIoin and the one to whom Sher-
iff Iaukea gave note for one hundred
dollars to cover loan, in which the
japanese makes the statement th:-s
Iaukea agreed to let him and his asso-
ciates reopen IwiIei for the sum of IF
teen hundred dollars.
Sheriff Iaukea, when asked about
this story last night, stated that there
had been a conversation between him
self and Isoi and that the cash cost Of
noninterference had been discussed, the
object of the Sheriff being to secure
the payment of a bribe and then TO
arrest the briber.
Isoi s story in the Shinpo is to the
effect that be had gone to the Sheriff s
house with Special Officer Townsend as
interpreter to talk over the Iwilei mat
ter. There he offered the Sheriff $500
to be allowed to reopen his stockade,
which offer the Sheriff refused to con
slider
Later. this time at night, he again
went to the Sheriff s home, Townsend
again accompanying him. This time he
4aised his figure to $1,000, and the Sher
if met this offer with a demand for
$500. This figure appearing too high
TO Isoi. the negotiations were broken
off again.
Isoi then laid the matter before his
associates and they finally decided to
come through with the fifteen hundred.

Editor Advertiser: noted your ap-
peal on behalf of the Children
Hospital in the Sunday Advertiser, and
beg TO say that / think there will be
no trouble in getting the $4,000 that
is needed to finish that project. In
fact | will agree to raise that amount
and more, will guarantee to do so, if
acceptable to the promoters of that
institution.

of those that first saw the need of the
Home of the Incurables, and worked
for years before we could induce the
public to respond to our appeals. But

/, who had met some of them and
had seen their indescribable suffering,
and could never forget the dreadful
sight of it, was the more persistent
and as / could get no peace or rest
until something was done, l gave the
people no rest until they did some
thing-in fact, gave the money to
build it.
Now / feel the same about this pro
posed institution and feel inclined to
work still harder, as it is perhaps the
more needed And / feel sure that this
need will be responded to if under
taken in the right way.

ARIZONA PIONEER DAYS
Old Timers sun Remember What Grub Cost and How They Got It
 Old SaRta Fe Trail

The recent mention of a meeting of the Pioneer society brought back memories of old times to our friend George Hance, of Camp Yer. de and he writes, Pioneer Al Doyle the following
 Friend Doyle:
 notice by the Coconi 70 Sun of May 8, 1908, the meeting of the pi- oneers-a move l have always felt an interest in, in every way and am sorry it was not started forty years ago.
 My first appearance in Arizona dates sometime about April 20, 1868, although did not arrive in Prescott until December 4th 1868. Since which tune this county (Yavapai) has been my home.
 Of the seventeen who came with me. my brother John and Jerry Sullivan are all that are still alive; of the other members of our party all are dead of old age. Eight were killed the first year by Aba ches and two others severely wounded. am the only real young man left. John Hance and Jerry Sullivan are getting old; some day will be the only one left to repeat the history of our trip over the old Beal trail
 We camped where Flagstaff now stands Thanksgiving day, 1868. and sure enough we had our thanks giving turkey-not one but seven and my brother John done the kill ling. Only day or so before he killed seven deer with a Winches- ter-we called them Henry rifles then. l won't be sure but l think John killed seven deer with eleven shots--t h numbers seem sOrter familiar-but that was before the National (thieving) game was play. ed in Arizona. From our camp at or near Falgstaff. we had two feet of snow to Snively's prairie and in passing Bill Williams mountain, it was four feet in places.
 At the time l mention, Judge Cousins, leader of the Boston colo ny had not peeled the bark off that pine pole and hoisted old glory to the breeze, July 4. 1876.
 Tom and Gorham Bray were there when that peeled pine pole gave your beautiful city it's name. hope to visit Flagstaff the 4th of July 1908, and if there IS a Pi. oneers' meeting. I hope my con. duct will be such as will warrant some old timer taking me in-not the relief committee, but to tell them how we poor devils lived when flour was s33.33 per hundred i; bacon 66 cents a pound and sugar the same price. Tomatoes Sl, s per can; fresh fruit just a little higher; Arizona corn meal l6 cents per pound. Deer and antelope in large bands. l killed sixteen wild turkeys at two shots near Bear Springs in December 1869, which is all the wild game ever killed in Arizona. Strange to say

Second Hand Store.

With apologies to Sir Walter Scott) Oh young Lochinvar has come out of the west
 Of the Santa Fe towns, he found Flagstaff the best, The Needles was hot and Ash Fork had no wood,
 And Williams was quiet, but Flagstaff was good And he found that our store was the best one by far The Junk mans the mustard quoth young Lochinvar So he built hlm a cottage and cap tured girl
 And sold his grey charger and joined in the whirl Quoth the young bride: Dear Lock you will find l am sure We can furnish our house at the End Hand Store" They both to our store then came
 ickety split
 Got all of our prices and saw we were it, They looked at our ranges. and found they were good; They bake like the dickens, burn coal, chips or wood The top doesn't warp-they are better by far Than a cast iron cook stove quoth young Lochinvar So we sold them their outfit they're pleased with the lot, The range beats the ovethat dame Netherlys' got. And Lock told us lately, I'm sure of my bride, She's stuck On the stove. couldn't kick if she tried. " And so they are settled and happy l hope.
 They tell folks we are the orig lnal dope.
The Coconino sun., 1908-06-05
DOYLE REMEMBERS THINGS
 TOO

have read brother Hance's let ter with great interest, as l re member the Santa Fe and Beal trails we'll. l travelled over the old Santa Fe trail with a bull team from Kit Carson, Colorado, where l had put in the previous year buff falo hunting. When we got to Santa Fe the whites there advised us to sell our bull team and buy burros as the Indians were so bad {, and that the durned gang of border outlaws was heap worse than the Apaches, as they would murd er a whole party for their outfit and stock, then lay it onto the Apache. There were five in our party. We sold our stock and bought burros as we hal been advised by the white settlers, securing thirteen 'mocking birds" that we had the pleasure of kicking over the trail into Prescott. This was in 1872.
 Four hundred miles of the trip we never saw a white man, and it was lonesome, dreary old tramp, as we were compelled to travel main ly at night on account of the activ- ity of the measley Apaches who seem to bob up at any old place any old time, with strong hanker- ing after our top knots.
 We had been on short rations the last hundred miles and finally we run plumb short of grub. For aDout forty hours we had to pull up our belts a notch at a time. but finally hit Uncle Sans post at Camp Verde for grub stake.
 When we reacched Prescott we were more fortunate than you were when you came, as provisions were cheaper. Flour was 20 cents a pound. sugar, bacon and coffee 50 cents. Luxuries in the way of canned tomatoes and fruit never appeared on our bill of fare. don't remember the price of beans either, but 1 know we bought some as they were the standard straw berry" of that time in this section.
 l have only one grudge against the Indians and that is for the sleep l lost standing guard to keep them from stealing our scalps dur ing the time l wandered from the Missouri river to Salt Lake and down into thIs country.
 It is all passed and gona now the whites and redskins have made treaties and the pioneers on both sides will all soon be together in the happy hunting grounds where there will be no guard shifts to stand and hope all may be togeth- or in peace. AL DOYLE.
