BoU1ELL ON BRYAN.
Is His "shaII the People Ruler"
Simply ga Local Issue?"

Simply "a Local Issue?"
Congressman Henry Sherman Bou-
tell, OF Chicago, commenting on Mr..
Bryan's speech in Iowa, says:
Mr.. Bryan's question, Shall the
people ruler" implies that somewhere
in this country the people do not
rule. The only States where the
people do not rule are the States that
are expected to give Overwhelming
matorities for the Democratic ticket.
Perhaps Mr.. Bryan thinks that his
question is purely "a local issue" II
he is sincere, I challenge him to make
a speech in Vicksburg, Miss, on
Government by the People" Let
him repeat one of his famous anti
imperialist speeches, simply changing
three words, substituting "Mississip-
pi" for Philippines" and ''black
brothers" for brown brothers"
Let him suggest that we have
as chairman of his meeting
john Sharp Williams, leader of the
Democrats in Congress, and as vice.
chairmen the other members of the
Congressional delegation from Mis-
sissippi.
And after he has made his speech
In Vicksburg, II he shall have escaped
the rule of the people in that COM
munity, dare Mr.. Bryan to repeat
his Grafton on popular government
In Charleston, S. c., with Senator
Ttllman as chairman Of his meeting.
Mr.. Bryan's sentiments have a pure
ly geographical sincerity. His epi-
grams and startling conundrums are
especially designed to meet local de-
mands. OF this nature are. all his
views on tariff and taxation.
Mr.. Bryan's proposition that every
time trust is formed a tariff sched-
ule should be repealed, and every
time trust Is dissolved a new duty
should be added, is too funny even
for comic opera.
If on March 4 next Mr.. Bryan
should become President, with a
Democratic Congress in both houses,
and should actually place upon the
statute books the financial and eco
nomic vagaries delivered by him in
his speech of last Friday, It would
plunge the nation into bankruptcy
and bring on industrial chaos. II
he should begin by repeating the duty
on sugar to punish the Sugar Trust,
he would upset the national finances
oy losing $50, 100000 year in reve-
nues, and would stir up a revolution
in Louisiana. Utah, Colorado and
Michigan. Then, II he should repeal
the duty on cotton goods, because
some hustling manufacturers of New
England or the Carolinas were dump
ing goods in China in rivalry with
England and Germany, he would d.
vert other millions from the Treas
ury and invite still further. indus
trial ruin.
But, of course, Mr.. Bryan would
do none of these things, any more
than he will invade the solid South
and summon the cohorts of Democ-
racy to the defence of the ConstItu-
ton with the battle cry Shall the
People Rule?" Mr.. Bryan sImply
does not mean what he says. What
he utters with Chadbandian JUNCTION
In the North he repudiates with Peck
snifiian duplicity in the South.

paign.
 Look at the thing.' he continued. First they name Ralph Cameron for delegate who was chairman of the bolting Kibbey convention. Then 1t is put up to them that there is no chance to beat Smith anyway and they are asked to select Q chairman from the regulars in order t0 make possible the presentation of a harmonious front to the inevitable defeat Do they ac- cept the olive branch? Hardly. They pick out Hoval A. Smith, one of the finest fellows in the world personally, for chairman. But Smith was the bolters' candidate for delegate to Chl- cago and was unseated there. Like Cameron, he was identified with the Kibbey movement through and through.
 Then they rub it in again and make Attorney General Clark vice chairman and he is Kibbey appontee and fac tionalist. Then Sims Ely, another member of the territorial administra- tion and the Kibbey press agent, Is made secretary.
 They have simply served notice on the regulars that they are in control and propose to run the steam roller over all the regulars. There is to be a Kibbey campaign and the regulars are asked to sit back and take their medicine and smile, as though they liked to be ostracised.
 There is one thing it does mean. That is that Cochise will tear up the earth for Smith and that Pima county will give the democratic candidate a bigger majority than he has dared to hope for long while Pima county republicans are not Kibbey factional- ists and they will resent being ignored entirely by concluding to let Kibbey get the votes at the fall election with out their help.
 T am satisfied in my own mind that this move to hold all the machinery of the party is simply to make sure of an endorsement of Governor Kfbbey for United States senator. Statehood is a certainty in my Gpiis,Sn at the short session of congress and Kibbey wants to control the patronage in Arizona through the medium of a mi nority nomination for the senate. But, however it may go up north, this one man domination has disrupted the party locally as nothing else could have done"

NEW CHARTER SCHEME
 FOR OLD PUEBLO
Special Election for It Has Been Called for Sep
 tenber IA,

TUCSON, Aug. 3I.-About ane hun dred of the business men and taxpay- CTS of the city of Tucson accepted the invitation of w. F. Cooper to meet with him last night and discuss the provisions of the offered charter plan which is to be voted upon at the spe- cial election of September fl. By con- mon consent the meeting was held al the courthouse instead of the city hall.
 c. F. Schumacher was chosen chair man of the meeting and Allan B Jaynes secretary Mir. Cooper was then given the floor at once.
 He prefaced his remarks by saying that he was not there as the represen- tative of the city council or as an advocate of the charter; but that he simply felt that there was too much ignorance about it's provisions and that 1t ought to be discussed at a pub lie meeting. With that introduction he plunged at once into the subject by taking up the matter of the coun- cilmen holding over and stated that four Of them were ready to resign if the new charter was adopted
 Before he had gotten very far he was interrupted by Governor Hughes who stated that he thought the ordi- nance caIiing the election was illegal because it d.d not provide for a vote upon the question of whether alder men should be elected by wards or at large, as he claimed was ordered by the act. This developed a running de bate between the two which lasted long enough to develop the ire of Reid Of the Park View hotel, who wanted to know why they did not give some one else a chance. Thereafter re took his on every. possible occasion.
 By cOn,7Ion consent, after the ordi- nance had been read, MT Cooper started in to read the acts seriatim and announced himself ready to an swer any questions he might be asked. Prof. Caldwell, Governor Hughes, Mir Ormsby, Judge Rouse George F. Kit, Judge Richey and several others took part in the discussion II developed that there was considerable opposition to the increase of salaries for the city officers, to the elimination of the veto power of the mayor, to the unlimited power to fix valuations and assess ments and to various other provisions of the ordinances of the charter. Gov ernor Hughes gave it as his opinion tl4at the act was referendum propo- sltton pure and simple and conse- quentIy illegal under the organic act of the territory.
 Mir. Cooper made no attempt to de fend the instrument but simply an swered questions as they were pat and 1t was finally voted the sense of the meeting that the new charter was not what the people want, as it's main effect would be to increase taxation rather than to diminish it.
 It was also voted to ask the city council to rescind it's act calling for the special election in order to avoid an unnecessary expense.
 MT. Cooper was then given a vote of thanks for his courtesy and accom- Hiodati0T9 to :.l5ss taxpayers of the city and the meeting adjourned subject to the call of the chairman.

SW|NDLER WORKED
 THE TERRITORY
Clever Confidence Man Who Is Under Arrest Out in
 Los Angeles.

Adviees from Los Angeles are that a clever confidence man, who has operated nearly every city of Ari- zona with the exception of Phoenix, has been arrested there and is being held for trial. He is James Boyd. an expert buneo man, whose graft is so- hcIting aid from members of the Ma sonic order, using the plea that he is sufferer from tuberculosis and hay- ing credentials, now known to be forged. purporting to snow that he is a tairty-seeond degree Mason. Boyo weighs 21o pounds.
 His last, but by no means his first fake work in Arizona. was done at Tucson and Bisbee this spring. He cleaned up quite a neat sum of money there, and would undoubtedly have paid Phoenix visit had he not re- ceived wind of the fact that circu- lar had been received by the Phoenix lodge warning them of him and his fraudulence.
 Boyd professed a knowledge of all the signs, pass words and bylaws oi the thirty-second degree. and had pa pers and books purporting to reveal secrets entrusted only to members of that degree. He wonld ascertain the names of wealthy members of the lodge, and on the plea that he was af- ficted with tuberculosis. would ob- tain money from them
 He fpTthered his deception by ir- ritating the under side of his lip until il would bleed when he touched it with his tongue The approximation of blood. together with sight cough. would seemingly prove his story. The police at Bisbee became suspicious of Boyd. and when it was found that he was preparing to go 10 Los Angeles the officers were wired to keep a watch on him
 One of the Los Angeles police, who is Mason, was aceosted by Boyd who told his pitiful tale and solicited aid. His arrest followed. and the forged credentials were found in his possession.
 Boyd insisted at first that he was in reality thirty-second degree Ma son, but later admitted that he onl- belonged to the Blue lodge When he was examined by physicians, it was found that not only were his lungs in perfect condition, but that a better pair would be hard to find. The Los Angeles police believe that this was only one of Boyd's methods of swind- ling and are searching for further evi- dence.

 Quoted in a Tucson Paper,

"The arrogance of the Kibbey crowd now that they have controi cf the par ty organization is the most consum- mate piece of nerve that have ever seen and 1t Is certain that their recent moves, especially since the convention. have made Pima county democratic. at least as far as the candidacy of Mark Smith is concerned" was tn statement made to the Tucson Star yesterday by leading republican of that city, one identified with the Sur ges element of the party and who has

Pittsburg, Aug. 31.-The authorities
are hard at work today in an en-
deavor to clear up the mystery sur
rounding the suicide of an unknown
man who, after having destroyed his
features with carbolic acid drowned
himself in the Monongahela river at
McKeesport week ago. kilograms
received here develop the fact that
there are an amazing number of miss
ing men thruout the country. Many
requests for description of the suicide
have greatly complicated the work Of
identification. 1t is claimed today that
the body is either that of the divorced
husband of a niece of the late Mar
shall Field, of Chicago, or F. D. S.
Bethune, a New York attorney, who
has been strangely missing for about
two weeks.
1T is satd here today that the di-
vorced wife will come here from Chi
cago and attempt to identify the body.
1t is also said that Mrs. Bethune will
arrive during the day for the same
purpose. Owing to the length of time
the man has been dead, it is admitted
the work of identification will be diff

CALL ON ROOSEVELT
American Athlete. Competing in oiym-
pic Games Received at Sycamore Hill
President Makes Brief Address.

oyster Bay, Aug. 31-Ideal weather
favored the Olympic heroes today
when they panaded up Sycamore Hill
and received an official welcome home
by President Roosevelt. Each victori-
GUS athlete was introduced to the
president by the American commits
sioner, James e. Sullivan. The presi-
dent grasped their hands in an enthu-
siasstic handshake and had a word OF
congratulation to say.
The men plainly showed their pleas
ure at the high praise the president
bestowed upon them. 1t was almost
IL o'clock when the steamer bringing
the men from New York was sighted
coming into Oyster Bay with flags fly
ing. AS the vessel passed the club
house of the Seawanhaka-C Corinthian
yacht club a gun doomed a welcome.
1t was only a short time afterward that
the entire party landed and was
marching in a body up thru the woods
20 the summit of Sycamore hill. The
president was awaiting on the veranda
and rose to greet them. The presidents
remarks we're brief and to the point.
The ceremonies occupied only a short
time, and then some slight refresh
ments were served the party. After the
reception the party descended the hill
to the waters edge and re-embarked
for New York.

POLICE ARE BLOCKED
Friends of Charles Roberts, Jr., the
Rich Baltimore Victim Of Bullet at
Atlantic City, Still Cling to the High.
wayman Theory.

AtlanticCity, Aug. 31.-Charles Rob-
erts, Jr, the wealthy Baltimorean who
was shot on the Board Walk, Monday
night, is still in serious condition at
the city hospital here. His relatives
and friends, among those being Mrs.
w. s. G. Williams, of Baltimore, who
was riding with Mr. Roberts in a rolls
ing chair when he fell a victim to the
bullet, still maintain that he was shot
by q highwaynan. Police officials of
this resort still refuse to accept the
robbery story. This has been the stu
alton since the shooting occurred. and
nothing had developed up to this af-
ternoon to change this state of affairs
in the sensational case. Rumors con-
Meeting one person or another with the
shooting, are coming in every hour, and
new theories are being discussed at
every turn, but there appears to be
nothing in any one of them.
The police are practically at a stand
still. They have nothing to add to the
case, and unless Detective Wilson, who
went to Baltimore last week to make
an investigation, brings information
not already known, there may be no
important developments until Roberts
is on the road to recovery, or should
take turn for the worse.

MAKES SHARP REPLY
tn. N.th.r'.nd.Er.'' Castro Hi. Flag
Didn't Need sdutins - Issues Note
Explaining Attitude in Present Diff
ficuIties.

London, Aug. 3l.-The reply of the
Netherlands government to President
castro's last note will, 1T. is understood,
be in substance THAT the Dutch cruiser
Gelderland did not salute the Vene-
zuelan flag upon entering Laguaira be-
cause. under International naval prac-
tice, a. war vessel does not salute a
flag in a foreign port If she had en-
tered that port ana saluted within a
year. The Gelderland had done this.
AS for the alleged insult to the vene-
zuelan onsul at Wil,emstad, Island Of
Curaco the gentleman so entitled, it
is stat d, was never accepted by the
Netherlands government as consul,
hence he could not Officially be styled
consul, but was in Curacao simply as
a citizen of Venezuela. In conclusion
1t is said the treatment of M. De Reus,
Dutch minister at Caracas, who was
expelled by President Castro, was ir-
regular according ITO International
etiquette, as Castro, instead of send
ing De Reus, his passports expelling
him from the country should have in
formed the Netherlands government
that her minister was no longer per-
soma grata and should have requested
his recall. The method Castro pre-
ferred to follow was offensive and in
violation of diplomatic procedure.
