PUZZLED OVER FEE DIVISION.
County Clerk Sailing Keeps Half and
Sends Half TO Government OF Nat
uralization Fees.

County Clerk Sailing is now won
dering where he is at regarding the
disposal of the fees collected from
those who take out naturalization pa
pers. BY decision Just given in
western Oregon it was held that the
county clerk is entitled to the fees
himself However, the federal law
provides that half shall 90 to the
government and half to the clerk. In
the past the entire fee has been turn
ed over to the county.
Because of the confusion regarding
the fees some county Clerks have re-
fused to part with the money to eth
er the county or the federal govern
ment. However. County Clerk Sailing
has been rerhittlng half to the gov
ernment and keeping the remainder.
This he believes is the thing to do
under the law as 1t reads.

BOOM FOR MITCHELL.
Movement Started to Name Him
 as Nominee
FOR THE SECOND PLACE.
At Meeting of Leading Democrats of Texas; Held In Dallas, an Addres. to That Effect Is Adopted and Will Be Circulated All Over the Nation.

Dallas, June 11.-A conference of leading Democrats of Texas, including many members of the Democratic state executive committee, was held here Tuesday, and John Mitchell, ex- president of the United Mine Workers of America, was indorsed for vice pres ident on the ticket with w. J. Bryan, and national campaign in the inter- est of the labor leader was launched. Dan s. Chessher of Georgetown was elected chairman and D. A. Gregg of Jewett secretary.
 In response to a query MT. Mitchell wired MT. Chessher from his home at Spring Valley, H., that he had never been anything else in politics other than straight Democrat.
 The following address was formu- lated:
 "To the Democracy of Texas and the nation: In the coming great national contest William J. Bryan will doubt less lead the forces of the organized Democracy. Strong as ever with the common people of the United States, his candidacy will appeal with partic-

ular force to the masses of every sec tion of the opposition that will be ar rayed against him, and the Democratic representatives at Denver should use every effort and exercise every care to aid him in his struggle against Re- publicanism by naming as his running mate a man who will not only detract from his inherent strength. but who will materially add thereto.
 We believe John Mitchell of Hi nois to be such a man. Admittedly the greatest champion organized labor America has ever had, he also pos sesses the confidence of those who have most bitterly opposed the poli- cies he has consistently and vocifer- ously pursued. Of brilliant mind and judicial temperament, unswerving in his convictions, rugged in his honesty, devoted in his loyalty and earning and owning the undying admiration of mil lions of Aemirican toilers. his nomina- tion for the vice presidency on the Democratic national ticket would make Republican states doubtful and doubt full states democratic.
 We confidently believe that the se- lection of Mir. Mitchell would cause hundreds of thousands of voters, whose position would be otherwise uncertain, to unhesitatingly cast their ballots for Bryan and Mitchell.
 Always a Democrat of the old school, his candidacy would meet with a cordial reception in the south and be hailed with delight by the multi tudes with whom he has come in contact in the north
 Thinking as we do on this essential feature of the work the Denver con- vention will have to perform we re- spectfully ask our delegation to Den- yer to presnt the name of John Mitch ell of Illinois as Democratic candidate for vice president of the United States and to vote for him as long as there Is a possibility of his nomination, and we present to the Democracy of the Union the name of MT. Mitchell for their most careful consideration, and ear nestly recommend his nomination as our candidate for vice president"
 Mir. Chessher stated that Senator Bailey would be requested to place Mir Mitchell's name before the nat tional convention.

 When his physicians called on Mon- day, however, and diagnosed his ill., ness as appendicitis they found his heart in such condition that there was much hesitation before they decided to operate.
 On Thursday, however, it became apparent that the only hope for re- covery lay in the operation. He ral. lied nicely after the operation and it was believed he would make good re- covery. On Tuesday night there was a severe sinking spell, followed by un- consciousness. That night peritonitis developed and from that time until death there was little hope he would survive.
 Oliver H. P. Belmont was a son of the late August Belmont. The present August Belmont and Perry Belmont are his brothers.
