.M'NAB is DRAFTING
A NEW OPIUM LAW
District Attorneys Proposed
Bill to Provide for TIE Filming
of the Steamship Companies

SAN FRANCISCO, August 25.---Be-
lieving that the present Government
statute providing fines for the cap
tains of veSs sells whereon opium is
found is insufficient and inadequate %
cause any halt in the activities OF
drug smugglers, United States District
Attorney John L. McNab is working
upon a new law which he will ask
the Treasury Department to sanctioS1.'
The statute pIcNab proposes, If
made effective, will impose a fine
equal to the market product of the
smuggied drug not upon the captain.
but upon the steamship company oper-
ating the vessel. The finding of opium
aboard the ship, the statute proposes,
will be prina facie evidence of negli-.
gence on the part of the steamship
company, and the fine may be impos-
ed at once
THE present statute is having no
effect upon the opium traffic what
ever" said McNab yesterday. THE
captains are fined refuse to pay their
fires and litigation is the result. The
statute | will ask the Treasury De-
partment to sanction will place the
burden of the responsibility where is
belongs-upon the steamship company
itself. Such a law will be the only
measure that may be hoped to put an
end to the storing of immense quaint
ties of opium aboard vessel to be
struggled ashore upon the ships ar
rival in San Francisco"

Roosevelt Wouldn't Compromise.

WASHINGTON, June 28.-With the
return to Washington of many repub-
lican leaders who aided in the re-
nomination of President Taft, the
president learned for the first time
that there were many minutes during
the Chicago convention that his nomi-
nation hung by thread
Colonel Roosevelt, according to one
leader had it within his grasp to
stand aside, throw his strength to a
compromise candidate and see both
himself and President Taft eliminated
from the contest.
The president told callers today that
to Mr.. Roosevelt he owed his nomina-
tion of 1908 and tc Mr.. Roosevelt more
than to any other man, he owed his
last Saturday night.
Although some of the Taft leaders
profess that there never was any dam
ger of defletcion in their ranks, others
are known to have talked openly of
compromise candidate and to have
made advances to some of the adher-
ents of Colonel Roosevelt.
According to the reports brought
back to Washington, these offers went
to Mr. Roosevelt and they were turned
down.

LA TOILETTE BITTERLY
CONDEMNS ROOSEVELT

La Toilette alleges that on Roosevelt
rests the responsibility for dividing
the progressives in their first national
contest. He says Roosevelt and his
followers put forward in the campaign
no issues and had no platform. That
they substituted vulgar personalities
and the coarse epithets of the ring
for the serious consideration of econ
omic problems and for the time be-
ing brought ridicule and contempt on
great cause.
Concluding, La Toilette says the pro-
gressives will allow 10 combination of
special interests and political exped-
iency to obtain control of the cause
which is ultimately to redeem the
democracy and restore the government
to the people.

BALTIMORE, June 2S.-Mr Bryan s
mastery of the democratic situation
was never more manifest than when
last night, after bitter fight, the con-
veDtion adopted the Bryan resolution
declaring the independence of the
democratic party from the dominition
of the special privilege bosses. The
original resolutions demanded the
withdrawal from the convention of
Thomas Ryan and August Belmont,
but were later modified by Bryan
himself TO a simple denunciation of
the methods of these men and their
kindred big business representatives.
Mr. Bryan's resolution in full was:

is believed, will consist of about II

1t seems likely, though that Judge
Keough wants to call in alienists of
his own choosing to pass on Thaw's
mental condition. 1t is thought also
that Judge Keough may be desirous of
having Thaw taken of the Matteawan
asylum and confined at Bloomingdale
or elsewhere for one or two months,
so as to be watched by the commission
named for the purpose.
The case is called again for tomor-
row morning and it is expected Judge
Keough will make known his decision
as to what will be done.

Contest Frof From Settled.

BALTIMORE, June 2S.-The con

session to nominate a presidential
candidate, adjourned at 1885 this
morning to o'clock this afternoon
Evidently the contest is far from set
tlement and the race is still open. The
result of the only ballot taken was:

| Many delegates were infuriated by
the action of adjournment, voting
longly against it.
| For hours the previous session was
marked with fervid oratory and unpre-
cedented demonstrations for favorite
sons, the general tumult from which at
times blocked the wheels of the con-
vention.
Immediately after adjournment
Clark went into conference saying
that he would force his nomination
on the second or third ballot. They
said they had assurances that New
York's 80 votes will go to Clark as it
is certain that there will be sufficient
votes to force his nomination.
They also asserted that the Baldwin
and many Underwood votes, as well as
the majority of the Harmon votes
would go to Clark early in the fight.
The general impression of exper
fenced politicians was that the tight
would be lcng drawnout with the
chances for dark horse" greater
than was originally thought.
Although listening to the flood of
oratory the delegates remained patient
and good tempered all night. Or the
many demonstrations that for Wilson
was the longest, the galleries joining
with the Wilson delegates.
1t is believed the conservatives
aided in putting through the Bryan
resolution expressing the opposition
of the convention to the nomination
of any candidate representing or un-
nder obligations to Thomas F. Ryan,
j. Pierpont Morgan, August Belmont
or other member of the privilege
hunting and favor-seeking class"
They were willing to concede Bryan
but the nomination.
They want him to take the stump
this fall for the democratic candidate
and so submitted to the progressive
rule while bitterly assailing the mo-
tives of it's author; but they promised
measures as soon as possi-
BILE. There is no doubt that a break
between Bryan and the bosses has
been accomplished.

is drafting the 6000-word platform

mittee waited for Colonel Bryan.
