ADVISES DEMOCRATS TO
SEEK COMMON GROUNDS
Says There Is No Divine Right
of Leadership

DENVER, Colo, July 21.-Josiah
Marvel of Wilmington, Del, member
of the finance committee of the last
Democratic .ational committee who
was in charge of the campaign of
Judge George ray of Delaware for
the nomination for the presidency to-
night gave out an interview in which
he says it is now time for all Demo-
Gratis to get together and advise on
the grounds upon which all can stand
in national policies.
Touching on the influence of w. j.
Bryan will have, Mr.. Marvel said:
"Mr. Bryan will of course have
great weight in the councils of his
party But his FISHES should be con-
sidered as wishes and not obeyed as
commands. There is no divine right
Of domination in the Democratic party.
ITO the extent that his principles
and candidates appeal to the majority
of our party he should be fully sus-
tanned and approved, but when he goes
beyond that the duty of the party to
itself is to proceed promptly to lick
him. Mr.. Bryan is not infallible and
his honesty and earnestness make his
mistakes the more dangerous, The
leaders of our party who disagree with
Mr.. Bryan should argue with linn and
not about him"
Mr. Marvel stated that Judge Gray
would not again be a candidate. He
said he believed the next national con-
vention would be held in Denver He
based the statement on sentiment eX-
pressed by national committeeman
from the states west of Chicago.

WEATHER OBSERVERS
MAP AV|ATORS' COURSE
Forecaster Says Flying Machine
Men Should Try to Take
Southern Course

NEW YORK, July 21.-An exhaustive
study of typical wind and weather con-
ditions for the fieneft Of aviators plan
ming flights between New York and
st. Louis and Chicago has been made
by H. James Scarr of the New York
weather bureau.
THE flights will have to be started
from the eastern end" he says, "be-
cause of the tendency of prevailing
full figuring for the aviator to complete
his trip within the specified time and
at the same time avoid unfavorable
winds. The tendency of the wind is
to travel from west to east in baromet-
ric waves. These waves have deep
troughs, which indicate storm condi-
tions and high crests, which indicate
barometric periods. The aviator must
start on his flying journey as soon as
possible after the passage of low baro-
metric pressure, so as to get the full
benefit of the crest of the wind wave.
These waves pass at the rate of
from 500 to 1900 miles every twenty
four hours. AS can obviously be seen,
it will require a very fast aeroplane
to keen pace with the movement of the
crest or calm wave. But more likely
than not, before he travels 500 miles
he will have come to the ground until
another period of calm weather ap-
proaches. AS to the routes my obser-
yations appear to favor the southern
course, by way of Parkersburg and
Baltimore. If possible the aviator
should avoid coming by way of AL
bany."

of Oyster Bay, hurried to former
President Roosevelt's home in an auto
mobile and took in charge the Rev.
George Nathaniel an Armenian priest
about so years old. When the constable

guarding the man.
The constable and Seaman brought
the man back to oyster Bay and placed
him on a train for New York. Mr.
Nathaniel said he lived at 1912 Locust

archdeacon of the Armenian Protestant
church.
Mr. Nathaniel wanted Mr.. Roosevelt

Roosevelt at the outlook office last
Tuesday, and yesterday came to Oyster
Bay.
Today he walked all the way to Sag

home without being stopped. He rang
the door bell, but his speech and ap-
pearance aroused the suspicion of the
butler, who refused to let him see the

the train that he would make another
effort to see Col. Roosevelt in New
York tomorrow

Not Recovered

SANTA MONICA, July 21.-An un-
identified woman reported to the police
here tonight that while walking on the
beach near the Bristol Pier she noticed
a dark object floating in the water
and on closer inspection discovered it
to be the body of a young woman with
light hair and wearing a dark blue

VICTORIA, b. c., July 21.-Further
adVices of the little war Japan Is Wag-
ing against the Formosan aborigines
was brought by the Ava Maru yester-
day. The Japanese forces are now
building entrenched lines with block
houses fanklng the Formosans, the TO-
tai length of the lines to date being
S07 miles. Following the recent heavy
fighting with machine guns, the moral
effect of these has induced the surren-
der of large bodies of natives. The
fighting Is mostly in thick forests and
mountain sides, three to fouf thousand
feet above sea level, and there are
difficulties in the way of using arttl-
lery. The japanese are mounting guns
on high hills from which the native
strongholds can be bombarded.
The Japanese forces, in five detach-
ments, resumed fighting July 2 and
drove the natives from their mountain
strongholds with heavy losses. The
Japanese went into action at thirty
yards distance, the natives throwing
themselves on the bayonets. According
to Japanese officers, the head natives
were unaware what bayonets were,
PRISONERS stating that they were sur
prised that they could be placed on
rifles. Japanese losses are scant in the
attack compared with those during the
night encampment, when the natives
creep up. Most of the natives are
armed with inferior weapons, using
bullets of wood tipped with lead.
General Sakma, governor of Formo-
sa has been comforting with Toxic Off
cials regarding the colony, and has
had a difference with the financial bu-
reau, which sought to revive the sugar
tax. Premier Katsura interfered, and
the governor, who had resigned because
of his difference with the minister of
finance, resumed his post.

TEN MILES OF FLAMES
SWEEPING WISCONSIN

WAUSAU, Wis, July 21.-The forest
fires in the southeast portion OF this
county are probably the worst ever
seen in Marathon county and unless
the wind dies down ten million feet
of standing timber will be destroyed.
The fire covers an area fully ten miles
in length.
Information received here from the
villages northeast of Merrill, where
Wausau men conduct many lumber
ing enterprises, gives credence to the
reports that many residents of the dis
trict are cut off by the flames.
The best information is that pos
sibly 700 are thus endangered.
The saving of the lives of the peo-
pie at Heinmann, which was destroyed,
was due to the energetic action of H.
H. Heinmann, who took a st. Paul
train without waiting for permission
from the company and ran it back
and forth until everybody was out of
the village. AS far as known there
has been no loss of life.

REDUCE RATIONS
To HELP INDIANS
Bureau Thinks Decrease viii
Raise Race to Plane of
independence

WASHINGTON, July 21.-To raise
the Indian to the plane of independence
occupied by other races, the bureau of
Indian affairs will materially decrease
the rations to be distributed among
the red men this year.
The officials are engaged in appor-
tioning the Indian appropriation for
the current year. and will reduce the
number of Indians receiving gratuities
from the government by 10 to Is per
cent. This year the rattons, it is eX-
pected, will be confined largely to aged
and INDECENT Indians.
The Indian bureau believes that in
decreasing the rations as far as possible
it is lending helping hand to the In
dian in his combat for self-support.
The goal which the officials see In the
not distant future is a total abolition
of these gratuities. Last year 1865
Indians received rations at a cost Of
$412,1 This cost, it is expected, will
be decreased by $2S,033 this year, and
the officials claim the decrease would
have been much greater had it not been
for increased cost of living.

Breech Block Blows Out of Big

carbon monoxide, a highly inflam-
mable gas which forms in the barrels
of large guns and which is especially
dangerous in rapid firing. The gun
crew at Fortress Monroe was trying
to make a rapid fire record. The
theory is that the new charge of pow
der was hurried into the breech before
the gases generated by the previous
shot had time to dissipate, and before
the breach could be closed the powder
exploded, blowing off the block and
carrying death with 1t.
A gun has been developed in the navy
which automatically clears its barrel
of carbon monoxide as the breech is
opened. No such arrangement was in
use on the coast defense guns at
Fortress Monroe.
Many officers of the army and navy
staff had gone from here to be present
at the target practice. Major General
Leonard Wood, the new chief of staff
Of the army, was expecting to go direct
from New York to Norfolk. but at the
last moment changed his plans and re-
turned to Washington. He had just
reached his desk when news of the
disaster reached Washington.
A board of officers to investigate the
accident was Immediately ordered and
began its work at once.
