CALIFORNIA REPUBLICANS
INDORSE THE BULL MOOSE
TICKET; MINORITY FOR TAFT

Sacramento. Cal. Sept. o5.-If there IS
anything in the fatality supposed to at
tach to the number Is. the Taftites a-e
doomed to disappointment and misfor-
tune. For just 13 of them walked out OF
the Republican State convention to-day.
The break came as expected. when q
Progressive resolution was adopted and
the majority indorsed Roosevelt and
Johnson. Then the minority duly in
dorsed Taft and Sherman. adopted a plat
form and made up their State central
committe and list of Presidential electors.
OF course. the Taft Republicans will be
Endorsed by the Republican national or
ganization. but il remains to be seen how
much they will battle to get Taft cleo
tors on the official ballot. there being
general sort of tip which is passing
around that all real Taft men should
vote for Wilson and Marshall in the hope
of carrying California for the Democrats
and so rebukIng Roosevelt. Johnson, and
the Progressives generally.

 Stroke Of Eleven For Solemn Toast to S' Absent Brothers

While thousands pressed about the beautifully iliumined ball. room at Sea Breeze Island. and the hands of the clock pressed upon the mystic hour of eleven, Bridgeport Lodge of Elks and distinguished guests exemplified an impressive service, the crowning feature of Elks Day at Sea Breeze Island. and fitting climax to a day Of jubilation in Elkdom.
 At the first stroke of a huge bell, announcing the hour of eleven, the myriad of electric lights in the big The sky, heavily overcast. left the Island ip a pail of inky darkness. The great gathering was hushed into an Mwesome silence. Occasionally the aurfd glare of a flash of lightning drought the figure of monster Elk. startling relief. and then as darkness again reigned, the throng listened to the beautiful harmony of the impress zive Elk song, "Auld Lang Syne.'
 Elks. Day at the Island proved a success greater than the most sam guine, looking out upon the forbidding skies of yesterday morning, had dar. ed to expect. The rain held off un- til just before II o'clock at night and had the effect of merely chan@ng the s&cueuule m one respect LH6 11iSWOrhS display Taking the situation prompt ily in hand, the committee promptly put the torch to the fireworks, and for 6 few moments there was dag zling show of pyrotechnics in the rain.
 From the time of the arrival of the automobile parade at the Island shortly after o'clock until midnight, there was something doing every min ute. The chief event of the afternoon was the much heralded baseball game between teams representing the Bridgeport lQdge and Bridgeport police department W which an account ap- pears elsewhere in the Farmer.
 It remained for the night to dis close the hidden beauties of the Isl and. where many and elaborate pre- parations had been made for the re- ception of the antlered throngs. AS darkness fell the electric lights blaz- ed out in the colors of the Elks pur- pie and white, and throughout the en- tire Island tfiis color scheme was fol- lowed The long pike hung with fes- tocns of the two colored lights, pre- sented a scene of kaleidescopic beauty. The various buildings. booths and stands were gaily decorated in the national colors and the colors of the ElkM

souvenirs, others were in charge of refreshment booths. Many were bark ing themselves hoarse crying the mer- It's of their goods, and not few of them proved to be ballyhoo experts of the highest order.
 While the ball game was in pro- gress there were other attractions elsewhere on the Island. The Wheeler & Wilson band played delightful concert. Harry Henry, an5 enthusias- tic Elk himself, who is here for the week to fill special engagement at the Island sang a program of songs appropriate to the day, to the accom- paniment of the band.
 Hundreds lined the shore when Gil- bert W. Stratton, and Doris May Paine from the shore of Seaside park across the outer harbor to the shore at the head of the Sea Breeze breakWater.

 It was a great day for the young sters.s The Island was thrown open <to the kiddies. The ElKs provided for them many novel diversions, hunt ing for hidden treasure and the like, and several of the Elks surrounded themselves WASA S4GUAA LII 4AAoH0 youngsters when they tossed handsful of change among them. Wild scram- bles for the coin resulted in attract ing groups of the grown-ups who looked on in delight.
 The attendance during the after noon was not a harbinger of what was to come. The early evening saw sudden increase in the crowd, and se the hours advanced carload after carload, and boatload after boatload, were emptied on the Island until the pike, with its brilliant electrical dis play and gay decorations, was alive with a good natured, hilarious throng.
 Harry Henry sang before a, surging crowd about the Wheeler & Wilson band at 9:30 and scored a pheno- menal hit. The band numbers were loudly encored. At 10 o'clock 8 spec tacular water feature was produced in the outer harbor. This was a miniature naval battle. The night lent itself ideally to the production Boats rigged with sails, and controlled by long lines and electric wires at- tached to a row boat concealed by the darkness, wanged themselves in the positions of hostile fleets, and when the detonation of a dynamite comb had lined the shores with spec tators the fleets began their fusil- lades.

STORIES TO DEATH
OLD BRADDoCK HOUSE OF ALEX
A~DRIA IS SCENE OF AN
OTHER TRAGEDY.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.--The old
Braddock House. in Alexandria, which
adjoins the famous Carlyle House, the
scene OF stirring events In American
history, and intimately connected with
the life of George Washington, was
the place of another tragic death
early today. when Patrick Buckley.
the boy Guide of Alexandria.
plunged to his death from the fourth
story,
f3uckley's body was found at $50
o'clock by Waiter Ale. roomer in
the building. who saw the body OF a
man lying on the brick pavement in
the rear of the building.
Police headquarters, which Is just
across the street. was notified. and
Chief Goods made an Investigation.
He found young buckley lying on his
back with his skull crushed. his face
cut in several places and his coat COW
cred with blood. which had run from
his nose and ears His coat collar
was torn off, and the indications were
that his death had followed a severe
struggle.
1t was first thought that the boys
death was due to murder. but after a
thorough investigation made by Chief
Goods, commemorative Attorney
Samuel g. Brent and Coroner Sam
ueI b. Moore, il was decided that
Buckley fell from the fourth story of
the building, and that his plunge was
accidental. Coroner Moore will. how
ever, probably hold an inquest tomor-
row for the purpose of making a
more thorough inquiry into the cir
cumstances surrounding young Buck
ieys death.

ON SALOON EVIL
REV. II. j. RICHARDSON DEPICTS
RESULTS or EXCESSIVE DRINK
ING TO LARGE CROWD.

Rev. e. J. Richardson gave chalk
talk on the evils OF the saloon before
a large audience Of young men and
others at the Union Station NJ. r.
church last night, under the auspices
Of the Woman's Temperance league
IF America.
Mr.. Richard son. who is well known
as an Anti-Saloon man and a car
toonst, illustrated his talk with draw
Ing on board, showing the crop
reaped by these who indulge in strong
drinks and the misery which comes
as a result To their families and %
the community
One of his pictures was of bottle
labeled Red Rum Spelled back
wards. he said. it reads murder" He
then depicted as coming from the bot
tie jails, penitentiaries and poor
houses, saying that S. per cent of our
criminals owe their downfall To liquor
and large per cent of the inmates
of the aimshouses are brought there
through the same agency.
The speaker placed the blame upon
the Law which licenses the saloon, and
upon the lawmakers who vote in Ia
vor of license.
