THEY WANT JOHNSON
Democrats Desire Minnesota Governor
for Second Place.

Denver, June 24.-Even among the
few Democrats of prominence who
have come to Denver to attend the
Democratic convention which will be
held in this city beginning in two
weeks. the choice of the candidate for
vice president is the leading theme.
and it is already evident that in this
respect at least the convention will be
counterpart of the Republican con-
vention at Chicago As a choice among
candidates Governor johnson has a
decided lead. Little attention is paid
to the announcement that he is not
now candidate and would not accept.
Those who favor him say that while
he has been successful in Minnesota,
he has not won such a place in his
party that he could afford to decline a
nomination for second place on a DEM
ocratic ticket. They contend that he
properly supplement Mr.. Bryan's can
didacy. say that he has been put for
ward as candidate for the presidency
by the eastern Democrats; urge that
those Democrats would support him as
strenuously for vice president and de-
clare that they must have him.
The favoritism toward the MINES
ota man for second place does not
contemplate the possibility of Mr..
Bryan's failure, but even in face of
instructions, there are some who con-
tend that the Nebraskan cannot win
on the first ballot and that therefore
the Minnesotan has a fighting chance.
This contention is evidently made.
however, in the hope that there may
be a contest worthy of the name and
by those who would like to see the
convention prolonged.
The friends of Governor Johnson say
that, regardless of prospects, their can
didate will be placed in nomination
for the first position and as rule
they refuse to discuss the possibility
of his being named for vice president.

TO STOP TREsPAssING.
Indiana Commission Starts Movement
Popular With Roads.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 24-One or
the most important movements in the
history of railroads has been started
by the railroad 'commissionso of Indiana
to stop what Commissioner Wood of
, that body terms 1.-The great American
crime" This is the killing and MAIN
ing of over 10000 persons on Amer1-
can railroads at grade crossings. For
the first time in this country an ofrl-
cial body has raised its voice in de-
Tense of the railroads with respect TO
the loss of life and property OCCASION
ed by their operation. Mr.. Wood, VINO
started the movement, has already en-
listed the assistance of the commits
sions of Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin
and Ohio, and he is busy trying to
arouse public sentiment on the sub
ject. The plan outlined is comprehen-
sive and can not fail to be effective
He proposes. first, to compel the grad
ual elimination of grade crossings; sec
ond, to compel the strict observance
of statutes prohibiting trespassing on
railroad property, and, third. to secure
in all the states necessary legislation
to prevent further trespassing.
Commissioner Woods hope is to Sc
cure the passage of laws similar to
those in England. Each year in Great
Britain there are from $500 to 1000
convictions for trespassing.

Ugly Rumors Regarding Moore

Other Items of Interest in
Railway Circles.

New York. June 24.-wall street
was filled with bear rumors from the
opening of the market, and the break
in the Rock Island-Frisco securities
early in the day did not improve SEN
timent. According to some of the stor-
les heard. a receiver was going to be
appointed for the Rock Island, or the
company was about to issue bonds.
or else great losses had been suffered
by the pools. Here Is what Rock Is
land official had to say today:
THE company is not going into the
hands of a receiver. You may state
that positively. Neither does it con-
template the issuing of any new bonds.
AS for the flood damage, according to
reports received at the local office
from officials in the district concerned,
the total damage to both the Rock Is
land and the Frisco lines will not ex-
coed $4,000
There is nothing in the affairs of
the company itself, so far as 1 know,
TO account for the weakness of the
securities. Its earnings are sufficient
not only to meet all fixed charges, but
also to enable the payment of a divi-
dend at the rate of 5 u per cent per
annum on the shares of the old Rock
Island railway"
In well-infermed quarters there has
been no concern over the immediate
future of the Rock Island. The same
thing. however, cannot be said about
the Frisco, and some of today's SELL
ing in the preferred stock of that
company can be traced to insiders in
st. Louis. In some quarters ii is be-
lieved that the Rock Island would do
we'll to let the Frisco go. There has
always been more or less talk of pos
sible friction with the government over
the common ownership of the Rock
ISland-Frisco lines. and besides, the
last named company has never grown
up to the expansion policy adopted
eight years ago.

Within a week after the tower Is

HEAVY FLOOD DAMAGE.
VIII Take Million to Repair Texas
Lines

Austin. Tex, June 24.-Some of the
railroads which traverse the pine tim
Der region of eastern Texas suffered
much damage from the recent floods
in the rivers, according to advices re-
ceived by the railroad commission. 1t
is stated that the logging business
along these roads was temporarily sus-
pended, and that the lumber industry
suffered no inconsiderable losses. The
railroads which suffered most were
the new lines. which had not had the
benefit of previous experience in high
waters. The Beaumont & Great
Northern, which runs from Trinity to
Onalaska, traverSing the valley of the
Trinity river, was under water al
most it's entire length for several days.
Steps have been taken already to re-
build this line and to place it high
above the probable crest of flood
water from the river. The road is
projected to run to Beaumont, a dis
lance Of about 100 miles from it's pres
ent southern terminus.
The Burr's Ferry, Browndel and
Chester railroad, which does a big
lumber traffic, was feet under water
in some places during the height of
the flood in the Neches river 1t is
stated that about two miles of its
track in the Neches river bottoms was
under water for a few days. The road
is being extended. and when finished
will be about eighty miles long.
All the railroads in the state which
suffered severe washouts and inunda-
tons by the recent floods are rapidly
recovering. 1t was estimated during
the height of the floods that the dam
age would be not less than 100000
1t is now stated that that estimate
was far in excess of the actual dam
age incurred, and that the cost of re-
pairs will not exceed S1,000,000 for
all the roads. The biggest losses
were incurred by the enforced cessa-
ton of traffic.
