BITS OF GOSSIP
BETWEEN BALLOTS
DOWN IN BAL |M0RE
Luke Lea Would Be Suitable
as a Dark Horse, but He
Isn't Old Enough.

BALTIMORE. July 1.-Another story
explaining the length OF the deadlock
went the rounds OF the convention to-
day. 1t Is this:
The convention INDUCED in . little
playful sport Thursday and Unexpectedly
failed to have a nomination before md
night.
The next day was Friday. a very I'M
lucky day TO nominate a candidate Cor
President
The next day was Saturday. cv-
erybody knows that you never finish
anything you start on Saturday. The
next day was Sunday. the Lords day.
and day Of rest upon which thou shalt
not labor.
Hence the adjournment TIL Monday.
Jerry c Foley of Indiana. Is a practi.
cal Joker. At the convention ne has
been living with six Indianapolis d.
tectives who took a lay-on to attend
the big show. The detectives arose to-
day to fnd their pocket books and
revolvers missing. After they had told
their troubles to the Baltimore cops and
given the nlhUuseT OF tHelr HDteI neTN-
Gus prostration, Foley returned their
belongings. and hasn't paid for refresh
ments since.
The Statesman at Baltimore who. next
to Bryan. has immersed himself In
most glory. Is young luke Lea. the
boytsh faced Senator from Tennessee,
who has been one OF the leaders In the
Wilson camp. lie has made friends
among all factions by his vigor. fair
ness and parliamentary skin. but no.
where has his stock assembled higher
than among the thousand newspaper
men.
What's the matter with Lea as Q
compromise candidate?" asked news
paperman among n group OF dozen
who were talking with Lea In the lobby
Of the Belvelere.
A poll showed he was the unanimous
choice, and the proposal wouldn't bo as
wild as 1t sounds. ether. except for one
fact Lea was born IN 1879. TO DO ell
igible for the Presidency no must b,
thirty-fve instead Of thirty three years
old.

Commoner pays the strictest attention,
He Is not regular In his meal hours; no
one In convention can keep regular
meal hours. But he feeds like a Uol.
stein COW. He eats all that he can con-
sumo IN the time which his work allows
him for eating. With his eye on his
watch he orders not half n grapefruit
but two grapefruits. the both eggs and
chops and fried potatoes and large Dot
of coffee.

has begun debating such additions to his

The politicians hurrylns ZIP and down

He has learned so to order his work
and his pleasures that he Is always In
the fittest condition to do the next
thing. A study OF his day Is q lesson
Ia getting the biggest Job out Of the
human machine.
Mr.. Bryan lives here at the Belvedere
Hotel. He has suite OF three rooms
and bath on the third floor. With
rooms at the present Baltimore prices
this might seem to some admirers Of the
simple life as a rather extravagant lay
out for a true leader Of the common
people. But Mr.. Bryan thinks his labors
worthy Of his hire. and from all the re

rewards which his prominence in public

ATTACK ON "BlG LOU"
Police Fear More Trouble,
Since Dynamite Has Re-
placed Guns and HatchetS.

Not since the murder OF the slave
girl Bow Kun. and the resultant bitter
warfare. punctuated by killings. be-
tween the rival tonss OF Chinatown. has
a situation existed there such as that
caused this morning by the attempted
assassination by dynamite of Big
Lou" otherwise Lou Ling Hoa, pres
second time within a week the dyna-
mite bomb figured as the new and up
o-datc weapon OF the Chinese tong
men.
The police are prone to see someth hing
sinister In this adoption of the favori to
weapon OF the Black Hand. In all the
dark record OF reprisals between the
Hip Sings and their allies. the Four
Brothers of Pell street and tho on
calibre revolver. the knife and tho
Ratchet have always been the instru-
ment of murder.
Though bad Chinese marksmansh ship
made the revolver dangerous enough for
innocent bystanders. the dynamite bomb
will make a private grudge a wholesale
public danger. The Chinese fighters
have learned dangerous lesson from
the activities OF blackmaiiers Of another
race
At o'clock this morning a bomb ex-
ploded In the ground floor hallway at
No. II Mott street. Just three minutes
after Lou Lang Hoa. President Of the
On Leong Tong, left with a police escort

Sunday night a week ago a dynamite
bomb was exploded under the altar OF
the Joss house at No. IS Mott street. On
the altar was the On Leong god "Quong

Jolt OF his career. The explosion ripped
out pretty much OF the Interior OF the

no one happened to be near.
The police say this was the frst time
on record that the willy Chinese has re-

had been expecting trouble. and have
kept a close watch. Early to-day one

FIRST COUNTY FAIR
HELD BY INDIANS

Two distinctive features marked the
opening day of the first county fair
ever held by Indians. Seventy-two
varieties of land products were exhib-
tied, the greatest assortment of vege-
tables, grasses and grains ever exhib-
tied by American Indians at one
exposition. Attendance included 20
newspaper representatives from terri
! tory lying between the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts. The largest delegation
OF newspaper men constituted the
party just returning from an expedi-
tiOn TO Glacier National park. They
were from Boston, Philadelphia, Brook
lyn, Pittsburg, Washington and Balti-
more. Besides there were present at
the opening of this unique Indian fair,
railway passenger agents from ten
cities of the south and middle west on
their way home from a western trip.
1t was a gala day for the Fort Peck
reservation. We are just leaving the
camp to take up the plow," Chief
Spotted Tail very aptly put it.
! The Indians certainly have made a
great stride in agriculture. Their fair
was held to show what progress they
have made in farming in preparation
for the opening of the Fort Peck reser.
walton next year. This reservation
opening will put 800, 900 acres of lanC
in the market for white settlement
Agricultural experts estimate the eul'
tivation Of this land will add 1000, 00(
bushels of grain to the production Of
the country. 1t means ultimately the
changing of the worlds bread baske
to Montana.
There were 1000 Sioux Indians il
