TICKET Of 1908
AGAIN SELECTED
Chain and Watkins Prohibition
iSt Standard-bearerS.
CONVENTION BUSHES THINGS
Proposition Made To Change the
Party Name and To Elect the
National Committee On a New
Basis Steam-RoIIered.

Atlantic City.-After a three-day
session marked by tumultuous scenes
and factional strife that threatened to
split the party in twain, the delegates
OF the National Prohibition Convention
nominated Eugene w. Chain, of ILL
nois and Arizona, for president and
Aaron S. Watkins, of Ohio, for vice
president Chain and Watkins head
ed the party in the 1908 campaign.
The end of the convention was,
however, astonishingly harmonious
considering the acrimonious debates
that have marked its early meetings.
This was largely due to the fact that
the presidency of the party is regard
ed in the hearts of the delegates as an
honorary position only.
The delegates, therefore, used every
eXpedient to rush the business, and
the nominating speeches were begun
almost before the members of the con-
vention had taken their seats after
the invocation this afternoon.
Four candidates for president were
pldCSu III against MI =
Chain. They were F. w. Emerson,
of California; Finley c. Hendrickson,
of Maryland; Aaron S. Watkins, of
Ohio, and Andrew Jackson Houston,
of Texas Each in turn withdrew his
name after the first ballot, Mr.. Hous-
ton creating enthusiasm by the state
ment that he would rather receive the
lowest vote in the Prohibition conven-
tion than the highest in either the
Democratic or Republican convention.
The leading candidates against Mr..
Watkins for vice-president were Mr..
Emerson, of California, and George K.
Stockwell, of New York.

Scientists Seeking Relics In Nevada
Also Uncover Remains of Prehis-

Reno, Nev.-Marvelous discoveries
of prehistoric mammals in the shale
fields on the desert % miles east of
Nina, New, are announced as the re-
suit of the explorations of Prof. Law
renee Baker of the department of geo
logical research of the University of
California. Professor Baker is assist
ed in his researches by Prof Buwaldo,
also Of the university faculty.
The Investigations disclose the fact
that the region about Nina was once
an immense body of tropical water
The bones of three-toed horse, about
the size of lamb, have been unearth-
ed. The teeth, well preserved, and the
entire remains of a prehistoric dog
have been brought to light. 1t is be-
lieved that this animal lived at least
five million or six million years ago.
The scientists say that the fields about
Nina are the most marvellous In the
world.
Fossils eighteen feet high are to be
seen cropping out in the heart of the
desert miles away from any human
life. In the vicinity is bed of pure

New York.-Isidor Steinrutzer, an

Find Three-Toed Horse

The remains of fish are to be seen
sticking out of the banks. The pro
fessors are bending their efforts To-
obtain specimens of mammals. The
remains of an extinct camel, dating
from the miocene period, have been
obtained.
Effort is being made to obtain speC.
mems of the water lizard, believed 10
be the Oldest known form of animal
life. Fish many feet in length are
to be seen and every indication points
to the fact that the remains, so per
fectly preserved. belong to a period at
least five million years ago. Along
the southern edge of the desert, which
is believed to have been a lake at one
time, there has been discovered coal
of high quality.
An eastern syndicate owns the prop
erty upon which the discoveries have
been made. They acquired the land
to work the magnesia deposits and
also to prospect for gold, which Is
found in nearby sections. Permission
was granted the scientists by the 10
cal manager to study and take spect
mems of the relics.
An effort will be made to have the
Smithsonian Institution send an ex-
petition to make thorough study, as
1t did of the mammoth tracks discoV'
cred in the yard of the state peniten'
tiary.

MAY GO TO HAGUE COURT
Lines Are Drawn Tight For a Great
Diplomatic Struggle Between
This Country and Great
Britain.

Washington The lines are drawn
for a great diplomatic struggle be
tween the United States and Great
Britain over the question whether this
country may discriminate in favor OF
American vessels in the administration
of the Panama Canal The wordy war
may terminate in the submission OF
the question to The Hague tribunal
A series of diplomatic and legisla-
tive conferences have developed the
fact that the forces in the American
government which favor allowing
American ships free passage through
the canal are in control. These forces
take the position that there is moth
ing in the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, un-
der which the canal was built, to pre-
vent this concession.
The diplomatic struggle, precipitated
by the note received from Mitchell
Innes. charge of the British Embassy,
it is expected, will be fought along the
following lines:
Great Britain VIII take the position
that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty pro-
vision, which forbids discrimination in
favor of the interests of any nation in
the conduct of the canal, would
operate against the provisions of the
Panama bill now under consideration
in the Senate. This position will be
supported by lengthy argument, now
on its way from London by mail,
which will be presented to the State
Department and transmitted to Con
gress Immediately upon its arrival.
The United States will hold that so
long as the ships of all foreign nations
are accorded the same treatment in
the use of the canal, the United
States may pass American ships free
or rebate the tolls charged them. This
position was taken by the House when
it reversed the report of the House
Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee, which would have prevent
ed free passage to American ships and

Snake Bites Man and She Sucks
Out Deadly Venom.
Joseph Eberhardt of San Francisco
Attacked by Reptile While on
Fishing Trip-Heroic Treat
ment Prevents Death.

Mayfield Cal.-Cutting deep into
the flesh of the leg of her father, after
be had been bitten by a rattlesnake
getting down upon her hands and
knees, putting her lips to the wounds
made by her knife and the fangs of
the poisonous reptile, Anita Eberhardt,
twelve years old, sucked the venom
from the wound Of Joseph Eberhardt
and saved his life. Then half carry
Ing and half dragging him, she got
him to camp quarter of mile away
where, with difficulty, she placed him
on the back of saddle horse and
started him to the nearest farmhouse
eight miles away.
Arriving at the farmhouse, Eber-
hardt fell in a dead faint and was
hurried to hospital in Palo Alto.
Eberhardt is a harness maker of
San Francisco, and with his daughter
has been camping at the old Hub
bard & Carmichael mill in a remote
section of the San Mateo mountains.
They arrived in this city and rented
horse that the girl might ride and
that they might pack their camp out
fit to the old mill.
They started on a fishing trip to
Rock creek, three-quarters of a mile
from their tent. Hardly had they
gone a quarter Of mile when Eber-
hardt was bitten in the calf of the
leg by big rattler. He killed the
reptile, but soon began to weaken as
the poison took effect The girl made
him lie down, and, after bandaging
the leg above the fang marks, took
large knife and made deep incisions
into the flesh.
After her father was on his way to
the ranch house the girl set out on
foot to follow and reached the ranch
in the afternoon.
Eberhardt is recovering, but physi-
clans say that had it not been for the
presence of mind of his daughter and
her prompt actions he would have
died in the mountain wilderness. They
said all the poison had been taken
from the mans body by the heroic
treatment of the girl.
This is the second rattlesnake ex-
perience in the family. In 1902, when
they lived in Bisbee, Ariz., Mrs. Eber-
