DENVER, July S.--Wm. j. Bryan

Democratic convention, today answer

Col. James NJ. Guffey. OF Pennsylvania.
by action. swift and sure.
The credentials committee gripped
tight Guffey's delegates, pitched them
out OF the Pennsylvania delegation
ard destroyed the majority by which
Guffey held the right TO elect the OH.
GERS TO the working committees and
20 the national committee. The vote
refusing TO seat the contested cele-
cation was 80 to IA.
This action destroys the power OF
Guffcy, the sole and only anti-Bryan
hope. This test OF anti Bryan strength
shows how feeble IL has been.
The overthrow OF Guney is the
greatest move toward absolute har-
mony thus far accomplished.
Senator Arthur G. DewSlt. Of
Pennsylvania. In criticism Of the ac-
ton OF the convention In referring the
Pennsylvania dispute to the creden-
tials committee, declared that the way
is open for any one man TO disrupt
the organization OF any state delegn
tlon under the ruling made by Tenn
porary Chairman Bell yesterday.
He says 1t was the strangest bit OF
parliamentary action ever witnessed
In Democratic convention.
The convention refused to seat the
officers OF the Guffey delegation and.
although they were certified. they
were side-tracked from participation In
the work OF the various committees.
Pennsylvania 10 Ignored.
The work OF the committees Is be-
ing done without Pennsylvania being
represented. The state IL practically
disfranchised by an irregular parlia-
mentary decision. as Senator Dewalt
calls II.
The platform Is being built without
the aid OF Pennsylvania committee
man. II is the same with rules and
regulations, permanent organization
and with decision on contests In other
states.
Under this ruling" said Senator
Dewalt, ANY one man in a state dele
cation can arise and pass forward a
list OF officers and by the precedent
established yesterday. the matter must
be decided by the credentials com
mittee.
This credentials committee, when
celebrating uupon Pennsylvania con
tests, was not alone organizing It's
own committee, but II was seating a
man on every other committee. IL
had Jurisdiction over every committee
elected by the caucus
ITO simplify IL. the decision OF the
credentials committee placed a man
on the credentials committee: II
placed man on the organization
committee and so on for all OF them.
The credentials committee had a
right. OF course. to organize itself,
hut II had no right TO organize any
other committee by seating delegates
from Pennsylvania.
When the motion was made yes
terday To refer the contest to the ere
dentials committee. an amendment
germane TO the motion was offered
by Mr. Garman. An amendment ger

ognized. In this instance Il was over

The Growth of Temperance.

A century ago drunkenness was
a prevalent vice among all classes
in England. So little was tho ught
of it that William Pitt could appear
in the House of Commons in state
of beastly intoxication while Prime
Minister without provoking any
unfavorable remark. Today our
upper and middle classes are as so
Der as any people in the world.
How has this change been brought
about? Certainly not by acts of
Parliament or compulsory restric-
tions of any kind upon the con-
sumption of liquor. l suppose it is
due to the progress of education
and refinement, a better under
standing of the poisonous effects
of alcohol, and the formation of a
more wholesome public opinion in
consequence. AS matter of fact,
the same influences have been
working with good and increasing
effect in the lower strata of society
for twenty years or more past.

TAFT MANAGER SEES HIM NAMED
ON FIRST BALLOT.
Says He Already is Assured OF Sixty. one
Votes More Than Majority OF The Con-

Secretary Taft is as good as nomi-

claim that $50 delegates to the Chi
cago convention already had as
sured him. In his summary of the
situation he asserted that New Eng
land will give Taft So votes, Ohio,

States, So; Southern States east Of
the Mississippi, I2s; States and
Territories west of the Mississippi,
27o outlying TERRITORIES, d.
In the convention 4oI votes will
be sufficient to nominate, thus
Hitchcock figures Taft already is
assured of 81 votes more than
enough to give him the prize on the
irst ballot. In addition to the
votes already claimed, New Mexico
will instruct for Taft, according to
Hitchcock, and the State Committees
OF North Dakota, South Dakota,
Wyoming, Colorado, Washington,
Arkansas and Louisiana have adopt
ed resolutions indorsing the Taft
candidacy.

Capitol Cases Are Expensive.
Lawyers Fees and Other Expenses vii
Run Total Into Many Thousands.

So far the first capitol graft case
has cost the Commonwealth Sc, 4os,-
IL. This is exclusive of the witness
fees, which will not be paid until
after the case is finally disposed of,
and of the costs to the prothonotary
and sheriff, which are small. All
of the sixty-eight jurors drawn and
retained for few weeks and the
twelve who served for seven weeks
in the cases have now been paid
their $2.5 so day and their car
fare. This item amounts to $4,-
566.32. The 500 trial lists and sta
tionery, used during the trial cost
the Commonwealth $22 and the
stenograpbers' salaries amounted
to SI,SI6.So making the total of
$64o5.I2.
The fees of James Scarlet and
Senator Fox and David T. Watson,
of Pittsburg, called into the case
by the State, will be paid by the
State. These will not be a small
item in the cost OF the case. The
cost of the twenty-eight detectives,
who got from FIVE to eight dollars
a day, will be another large part of
the bill.
The defendants bill will not be
light either. Several of the de.
PENDANTS had two or more lawyers
employed. 1t is said that Sander
son, who had a large number of
experts working for him, had to
pay out about $500 a day during
the greater part of the trial. In
cluding the character witnesses each
of the convicted defendants had
about fifty witnesses. many of them
being from localities far off from
Harrisburg. Their expenses were
large.
There will be no new develop
ments in the graft cases. it is ex-
pec.ed until the next case is started
on May II. In the meanwhile the
only routine matters that will turn
up will be the reasons for new trials
for the convicted men and the draw
ing of sixty or seventy-two jurors
for the next graft case.

THAW DIVORCE A BLUFF.
Viewed Now as Part Of Scheme 10 Free
Slayer From Asylum.

What is regarded by those who
have closely followed. the Thaw
divorce.annulment proceedings as
the most significant statement that
has been made, comes in the form
of a positiv, denial by Colonel
Franklin Bartlett, counsel for Mrs.
William Thaw, that there is dis
agreement between the members of
the Thaw family.
simultaneously with this an
nouncement comes the rumor that
there is to be no annulment or even
a divorce for Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
because friendly commission is ex-
pected to declare her husband sane
when this point in the proceedings
is reached. 1t is said that this
would serve as an immediate legal
ground for the release of the Pitts
burg millionaire from Matteawan
OH writ of habeas corpus.
The rumor cannot be confirmed
but, taken in conjunction with the
statement of Colonel Bartlett, and
the declaration of Mrs. Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw not long since, it becomes
interesting. The statement made
by the young woman was "Only
Harry and l know the reason. 1t
was something that happened dur
Ing the first trial."
Speaking Of the opinion express
ed by DR.. Hamilton that Thaw is a
hopeless paranoiac, Mr.. Bartlett
said that Thaw seemed to him to be
perfectly sane.
Although I am not physician
or an alienist this view is based on
experience derived from the exami-
nation of hundreds of men in my
experience as lawyer, as regi-
mental commander, and in political
life."

WORKS FOR CIVIC PRIDE.
Excellent Scheme Devised by Mer-
chants of Western City.

A new scheme for arousing local
pride is being worked in an enterpris'
ing western city. The plan IN briet
is. instead of attempting to Vltallzo
the civic spirit of the whole Commu-
njtv, to organize clubs in different To-
calities and to clean up and light up
certain sections, without regard 10
what may be done elsewhere. For IN
stance, a club is organized in
single block, and merchants on each
side of the street are persuaded 10
join. If it is desired to make the
block brilliant with light at night an
investigation is had to see how 1t can
be done how much it will cost ana
what it is worth. The plan has WORKED
SO successfully that organizations are
springing up all over the same city 10
devote their attention to cleaning or
lighting a certain restricted territory.
It is much easier to secure co-opera-
tion between 20 merchants than BE-
tween 200, and the influence or the
few spreads in widening circle
