The appointment Of committees was

throw the assembly into wild confus-

officers representing the two contend

Ollie James, Of Kentucky. voicing
the Bryan sentiment, endeavored to
refer the fight to the credentials COM

A DAZZLING SCENE.
Detailed Sketch Of Conventions
I, Openino Dav.

Convention Hall, Denver, July Q
The doors OF the han were unbarred
at 1910 a. M, nearly an hour before
the gavel Of Chairman Taggart was
called to fall as the signal for the
beginning of the initial season.
The apparent conyeniences, facili-
ties and architectural fitness Of the
new auditorium for convention pur-
poses was remarked by practically
every delegate who filed in.
Nebraska Enters.
After all the delegations had been
seated with the exception Of Nebraska
the delegation from that state made
q spectacular entry They came
marching in a solid column down the
center aisle holding high a large ban
ner Of red, white and blue silk, on.
which was painted a portrait OF Bry-
Ian. Above the picture were the
words: Bryan volunteers'' and be-
meath it "Of Nebraska. The sight Of
the banner and the. march OF the
Nebraskan's created great enthusiasm
for a few minutes, many Of the dele
gates and alternates leaping upon
their chairs and waving hats and hand
kerchiefs.
California followed Nebraska into
the column and We'd with that state
in the splendor of a banner in white,
blue and gold, which also bore a like
ness of Mr.. Bryan. The Californians
carried palm leaf fans and small ma
tional flags which they waved in en-
%thusiastic acknowledgement of the
cordial greeting accorded them.
Meeting Called to Order.
At u o'clock promptly Chairman
Taggart OF the national committee
brought down his gavel with a re.
sounding whack and called the con.
vention to order. Cheers followed the
blow of the gavel and Chairman Tag.
CART, as 500 as they had subsidized
spoke rs follows:

Denver, July with cheers from

MARSHAL MAKES THE ARRESTS

Crown Point, Ind. Aug. 12.-(Spe-
was received here this
morning from North Judson TO the eff
feet that three suspicious looking
characters, answering the description
of the three holdup men who robbed
the Erie station here yesterday morn
ing, had been detained there to await
Identification from Lake county and
Erie officials and detectives.
Ask Them to BE on Lookout.
Word was sent all along the line
yesterday by the Erie railroad, re-
questing the authorities of the differ
ent towns to be on the lookout for
the highway men, and the marshal at
North Judson suspicioned the men as
soon as he saw them and camped on
their trail during the entire evening.
They went to a hotel and asked the
clerk not to disturb them until o'clock
in the morning, and acted in very
suspicious manner.
Marshal Wires Authorities.
The marshal telegraphed the authort-
ties here and If there are enough
grounds for holding the men at North
Judson until they arrive there, prob
ably the question as TO their guilt or
innocence will be established today.
Several clews are being worked on to
apprehend the robbers, but owing to
the vague description furnished by the
operator. A. C. Bore, of the men, it is
difficult matter.

STEEL COMPANY
REsENTS REPORTS
Complaint Made About the
Quality of Food Served in
Gary Boarding Houses.
ARE NO STEEL co. HOUSES
Health Department of State Would
Have to Hire a Hun
bred Men.

The officials of the United states
Steel company at Gary, the GARY bust
ness men and the people OF Gary in
general, resent the printing of story
in an Indianapolis paper in which 1T is
stated that complaint has been made
of the food which is being served by
the steel company TO its employees at
the cOmpany's boarding houses.
The stories of impure food which
have emanated from Gary and have
basis in truth are hard enough on the
reputation of the city, say the Gary
business men, without having some
one deliberately manufacture stories
about the United States Steel com
pany's boarding houses"
Are No Company Houses.
! The facts of the case is that there
/ are no steel company's boarding hous-
es. All of the boarding houses which
are patronized by steel company men
are run as private ventures by what
are known as boarding bosses, and if
the food, which is served there is I'M
sanitary, it is not the steel company s
fault.
If every unsanitary table in Gary
were to be a matter of investigation,
the state health department would
have to hire a hundred men to watch
| the preparation of food for the tables
of a thousand foreigners who seem to
have no idea of cleanliness and would
| just as soon eat one thing as another.
The following is the article which
the people of Gary brand as a DELHI
crate untruth:
Complaints Responded to.
In response to complaints which
have been made to the state board of
health an investigation is to be made
of the food which the United States
Steel corporation is serving to its en-
ployes at its boarding houses at Gary,
Ind. DIR. ]. N Hurry, secretary of the
state board of health, said yesterday
that an Inspector would be sent TO
Gary Immediately to begin an investi-

CATHOLIC CHURCH PEOPLE

BinzenhOf Hall In Gary Is Scene of a
Pleasant Occurrence Last
Night.

The Catholic church of Gary gave a
musical and dance in the Binzenhof
hall at Gary last night. 1t was largely
attended and the music both for the
entertainment and the dance which fol-
lowed was very fine. Quite a large
sum of money was cleared by the pro-
moters of the affair and they are very
much pleased over the success of the
affair. Father Jensen was present and
expressed his approval of his parish
toner's to raise money for the new
church.

the public health demanded an immedi-
ate cessation of the custom which al
lows sewage and other CONCENTRATIONS
to flow into Lake Michigan, the source
from which the lake towns and cities
get their water 1t was reported that
the number of typhoid fever cases in
Hammond for June was only one less
than half the total number in all Chi
cago for the same month. This was as
founding in view of the vast difference
in the populations of the two cities.
Plan to Build Laboratory.
The local officials seemed to be look
ink to the state board of health for
relief and DR.. Barnard announced be-
fore the conference was over that
laboratory for the examination of the
waters would be established immedi
ately. He made it clear that the state
board was willing and anxious to CO.
operate with the local officials in rem
edying conditions. The new labora
tory will seek to ascertain the extent
of the pollution. By examining sam
pies of water from various depths and
distances from the shore, it may be
ascertained just how far out pipes will
have TO be laid TO get pure water, both
in calm periods and in times of storm.
Dr. Barnard was delighted with the
attitude of the local officials and re-
turned feeling confident that the work
now beginning would result in much
good. Charges, he explained could not
be made by the board until the senti-
ment OF the community ehampioned
them The present sentiment and
thought he thinks, will make cc-opera-
ton easy and effective.
No Clash Over Pure Food.
Dr. Barnard returned to his office to-
day after a considerable absence, dur
ing which he attended the convention
at Mackinac island of the associa tions
of state and national pure food depart
ments, and also held conferences with
health officers of public officials of
Lake county relative to the pollution
Of the waters of Lake Michigan. DIR.
Barnard denied that the convention of
food and drug commi ssioners forecast
a clash between the states and nation
over the national pure food act.
Dispatches sent out froh the con-
vention place gave the impression that
the states were about to defy the ma
tional law providing for pure foods
and drugs. On the contrary, reports
Mr. Barnard, the act has been accepted
by practically all state departments
and has been Endorsed by the commits
sioners, who wish it strengthened and
enforced in all it's provisions.

LAKE CO. TO HAVE
NEW BUILDING
On Shore of Lake Michigan in This
County Samples of Water Are To
Be Tested Under Direction Of State
Food and Drug Commission at In
dianapolis.

AS a result of the agitation which
has been started in the cities of the
Calumet region against the pollution
of the water OF Lake Michigan, H. E.
Barnard, state food and drug commits
sioner, announced yesterday that
laboratory would be established some
where in Lake county along the shore
of Lake Michigan, where samples of
Lake Michigan water can be secured
under all conditions of weather and at
all depths and which will be examined
to determine their purity.
All Want Pure Water.
The conference of Lake county health
authorities and public officials, which
was held at Hammond recently, re-
vealed, according to DR.. Barnard,
wonderful sentiment in favor of imme-
date action looking to the prevention
of further pollution of Lake Michi-
gan and the gaining of a pure water
supply for the lake towns and cities.
The conferees for the most part were
secretaries of local boards of health
and mayors Several councilmen were
also present. The places represented
included Hammond, Gary, East Chicago,
South Chicago and Michigan City.
