Convention Hall, Baltimore, June
25.-William Jennings Bryan lost his
first fight for progressive control of
the democratic national convention to-
day when he was defeated for tempor-
ary chairman of the convention by
Alton B. Parker by vote of 57S to
$40.
Mr.. Bryan first nominated Senator
Kern of Indiana to oppose Parker.
The latter declined the honor and
named Mr.. Bryan to make the fight.
The Nebraskan made an eloquent plea
'"for the cause he had represented for
sixteen years." but It Vas unavailing.
The debate preceding the roll call
threw the convention into wild dis
order. .... -. -... .-
~ Following his election, Judge Park
er started to read his "keynote"
speech, but was interrupted by great
confusion. Representative Fitzgerald
then put a motion to recess until 8
p. M, basing it on the ground that
the delegates were "tired out" The
motion was put and carried and the
convention adjourned.
Baltimore, June 26.-Bryan today
refused the craftsmanship Of the
resolutions committee of the national
democratic convention although the
place was offered the Nebraskan on
silver platter. When the committee
convened it was reported that Bryan
had sent word he would not accept.
A committee consisting Of Senators
Rayner of Maryland, O'Gorman of
New York and Culbertson Of Texas,
was appointed to urge Bryan to serve.
The Nebraskan's decision not to ac-
cept. the post was announced shortly
afterwards.

man of the resolutions committee.

WASTE FROM COAL
USED FOR BRICKS

According to Consul J. N. McGunn, OF
Glasgow, in a report TO the Department
OF Commerce and Labor, great heaps OF
refuse to be seen adjoining coal and iron
pits throughout Scotland, formerly re-
garded as waste product, are being uuI-
ized in the manufacture of bricks.
In Glasgow a new industry has sprung
up for the utilization OF coke breeze. ''
The breeze" mixed with Portland ce.
ment. produces a hreproor partition. made
in the form of slabs from two to three
and one-half feet long, one foot wide
and one to four inches thick. They are
given a perfectly smooth surface as the
inside partitions Of buildings by the ad-
dition of a coat OF lime and putty or sand
finish. The partitions are said TO be
absolutely fire and vermin proof. They
also possess the quality OF thoroughly
deadeninE sounds and can be built on

WANTS BUREAU PATRoNIzED.
Is a Good Thing for EmpIoye and
Employer Alike.

II. W. Wills, Washington manager OF
the Trades and Workers. Association,
whose offices are in the Builders Ex-
change, is enthusiastic over the progress
Of the new organization in this city, and
is urging builders freely to patronize its
labor bureau, especially during the dull
season. Mr.. Wills said yesterday:
THE Trades and Workers Association
believes that broad and liberal employers
are at all times ready to meet thir en-
ployes in a friendly way. and adjust any
questions that may arise, and that right
minded employees hold the same views,
and that when mediation is sought in that
spirit Of mutual regard and desire for
helpful measures, the questions at issue
are more quickly solved.
Our labor bureau connected with the
association is being well patronized, con-
sidering the dull season We realize II
is no trouble TO get good men at this
time in the year, but in the busy season II
is hard to get them. Support our bureau
through the dull season. and We will be in
shape TO get you good men when work is
plentiful and good men are scarce"

VALUE OF RUTTER MASTERS
Were an Important Medium of Ex- change Among Indians Living
 Along tho Shore.

''Butter tasters" is the name chil- dren give to the violet tinted, worn fragments of clam shells that are found on most beaches. These 'but- ter tasters" were an important medi- um of exchange among the Indian tribes living along the shore in their trading with other natives further inland.
 It can readily be understood that Indians sufficiently adept in the art of chipping arrow heads and other implements of hard flint could easily manufacture rude "money" out of the more attractive oolored pieces of these water-worn shells, and this they did, giving to this medium of exchange the name Luckahauk, somewhat after the style of wam- pums.
 It may be surprising to many, especially craft workers, to know what really beautiful "stones" these same so-called Luckahauks will pro- duce when cut and polished into symmetrical form from pieces of suf- fcient thickness and showing the rich and beautiful violet colorings that many of them possess.
 Such as are found on the beach are necessarily dull, with no polish, due, of course, to the wear of the sea and sand, but by proper treatment on the laps are brought to very high polish and look very rich in- deed, being entirely unlike any other ''gem."
 Having considerable hardness, they will wear almost indefinitely when once polished. The colors blend beautifully with silver, either in bright or antique finish, while their beauty is heightened by treat ment or establishment with small baroque or seed pearls, small ame- thysts or other harmonizing stones. -Handicraft.

BROUGHT WRONG MESSAGE
Vegetarian Gospel of Bearer of Good Tidinss Is Refuted by Can
 nbaI Chief.

Dark looks greeted the missionary. The inhabitants of the cannibal isle were a shade blacker than jet, to start with, and dyspepsia had cloud ed their faces still more.
 "The trouble with you all" said the bearer of good tidings, 'is that you live on a meat diet. If you would eat vegetables, cereals and fruits for a spell you would become civilized and happy and devote your days to piety and good works. It is the fermentation of your animal food that causes you to be so short tempered, so warlike and so miser- able.
 ''That is what all the missionaries say" replied the cannibal chief, "but fruit and green stuff are beyond our reach. Our 1910 census shows that the average wage earner on this island makes only SIS day, and you know yourself what the overpro- duction of gold has done to the pur- chasing power of money. If you have no messages to leave, the cxecu- tioner will do his duty, after which dinner will be served in the big tent"

On account of water standing in the ditches 1t has been neces- sary to suspend work in laying sewer mains for awhile, but a large part of the system has been completed and the treating plant is ready for use.
 The construction company has kindly consented that all those who desire to use such part of the system as is complete may at once do so on the condition that connections from the house to the nains be made under and by the direction and consent of the construction company. This Is a necessary requirem ent and protection on their part for the reason that 1t is a very easy mat ter to let dirt or clay into the mains which might impede or entirely stop the flow of water, and the Com mission will in no way accept the system or any part of it until the whole is com pleted.
