WILSON JOINS
FORCES With
COMMONER
Especial to Times-Recorder.)


Baltimore, Md, June 24-Talk of
"squelching Bryan" was loud yester-
day. But in the afternoon Bryan at
rived at the Hotel Belvedere amid the
widest enthusiasm. All Baltimore
went to the union station to see him
come in and the squelching talk has
ceased.
There are already rumors of a
break in the Clark forces over Parker
as chairman. When addressed by Bry
an, Clark stood up for Judge Parker
Now it is costing him something, and
his leaders, realizing his tactical mis-
take, have given definite orders to
Clark delegates that they must stand
by Bryan.
1t is not now believed that Parker
can carry the national committee, but
in case he does, Bryan will carry the
fight into the convention He made a
vigorous protest against the selection
of Parker by a subcommittee compos-
ed of Clark Howell and others for the
Office of temporary chairman.
1t is said here tonight that the Clark
men, seeing their mistake and warned
by defections from their ranks are
trying to take the back track The
Clark men up to this time have been
lined up behind the conservatives, but
break is momentarily expected.
Woodrow Wilson scored good point
probably when he wired Bryan that the
latter was right, and that the demo-
cratic national convention should be
controlled by a progressive and no
other.
Whether Bryan will dispel the hopes
of the Wilsonites by making himself Il
candidate of the progressives depends
on the kind of statement Bryan makes
in the convention.
Efforts to get from Committeeman
Hall the text of the letter from Bryan
which is said to contain a statement
that he would be a candidate under no
circumstances was met by the assur-
snce that Bryan would do his own talk
ing.
"The fight for the presidency of the
United States seems to have simmered
down to two men, Wilson and Clark
with the key to the situation entirely
in the hands of William Jennings Bry
an" said NJ. F. Dunlap, delegate
from Illinois, and former treasurer o
the democratic national committee up
on his arrival today.

FEAR OF A
BRYAN BOLT
IN THE AIR
MAY REPEAT CHICAGO stunt
At National Democratic Gath
GriRg at Baltimore

Baltimore, Md, June 24.-Sudden
fear of William j. Bryan boiling the
either fourth party or combination
with Roosevelt has changed the Bal
timore situation
With the fight between conserva-
tives and progressives growing worse,
it developed that Mayor Gaynor, of
New York, has the political advantage
of the situation and may yet be a
dark horse"
The conservatives are split into two
factions. Those who want to force
Harmon's nomination and give Bryan
"a chance to bolt are one faction. The
others are those who want to nomi-
nate Clark as a conservative" in the
hope that Bryan will have to support
him.
Wilson Men Divided As To Course.
1t has developed also that in the Will
son ranks there is SPLIT between
those who want Wilson to go to Bryan
and fight the field and those who
want him to take the middle of the
road, offending neither Bryan nor New
York, which has 80 votes.
Gaynor's friends think that the fight
has gone so far even in this short time
as to put all of the candidates out
of the running except Wilson. They
are hoping that Wilson may get into
"a position of disadvantage by some
move.
The Wilson people are working to
prevent this. They realize the posi-
bility of dark horse" and know
Gaynor's present advantage.
What The Situation Seems to Be.
At present the situation indicates the
following:
If the anti-Bryan conservatives can
win their fight, the nominee will be
Harmon, and there will be a possible
bolt by Bryan.
If the conciliatory conservatives con-
troll, it means either Wilson or Bryan,
with no bolt.
If the entire party can get together
it means Wilson or Gaynor.
If Wilson can retain his present po-
litical advantage, be will get the NOM
nation; if he cannot do this, Gaynor
looms up as the compromise dan dark
horse.

appropriation bills and they are not
vetoed by the governor, the effect VII
be cumulative in the continued de-
crease in the amount of the state
school fund which can be paid dur
ing the first half of the year.
In fact, it is said, if there are any
appropriation of consequence made
this summer, considering that there is
no prospect of material increase in
the states income, it is likely that
it will be impossible to pay out any
of the 1913 school fund during the
first six months of next year.

Treasury Run Low.

1t is not meant to imply that any
enc has done anything unlawful, but
simply that the money in tn etreasury
is used to meet lawful bills as they
come in with the result that when 1t
comes to school payments there is
less and less every year to give them
until tho taxes are finally collected in
the fall and winter, and the balence
to schools is paid in February and
March when it was due the year prev
ious.
To illustrate: 1t is well known that
the state has long been behind in the
this has not been helped any by the
increases made in the school appro-
payment of it's school teachers and
nriation. In 1904, however, 40 per
cent of the state school fund of $2,-
100000 was paid during the first six
months of the year This was doins
fairly well under the circumstances,
but this amount has been constantly
reduced from year to year. In 1905,
900 and 1907 only 80 per cent. of the
total fund was paid during the first
six. months. This amount kept go
ing down and in 1910 only 20 per
cent was paid. In 1911 but IS per
cent of the fund was paid out in the
first six months, while this year Gov.
Brown has found it possible to pay
only 10 per cent. of the fund during
the same period.
Caused by Big Appropriations.
The cause of this is easy to trace;
it is due to the gradual inroads which
have been made on the state treas
ury by excessive appropriations, ac-
cording to those who have Investigate
ed the situation; and it is said, if the
coming legislature passes any special

GEORGIA TREASURY is
SHY OF DOLLARS
viii Have Little
to Spend

Atlanta, June 24-If Georgias leg
lslature spends any more money this
summer the effect of it will be to pun
the state treasury a still deeper hole
than that which the general assembly
has already dug for it.
Georgia's finances, meaning the in
come and expense account of the
state, are not in as good shape as they
should be, and have not been in some
years.
The last four or five legislatures
nave appropriated money in excess OF
the states income and the result IS
this deficiency has been accommodating
from year to year, until it would now
require at least 100000, it is said to
make the states accounts balance, not
taking into consideration the deficit
in the state school fund, or what
amounts to a deficit, since the state IS
six to eight months behind in the pay
ment of the teachers.
1t is not generally understood, but
it is fact nevertheless that the d !
felt in the state treasury has, as a
matter of fact, been covered up by
Lsng the state school fund as kit
ing account" In other words money
in the treasury has been used to pay
the first bills presented, with the re-
suit that the school payments have
been delayed more and more every
YEAR until now they have gotten down
to a minimum.

FORMER skAGwAY CITIZEN
 BURIED WITH HONoRs

The respect in which James E, Lilly was held by the citizens or Dawson was shown by the manner o' his burial in which practically the entire population attended. MT. Lil- ly had his friends in Skagway by the hundreds, who win be interested in the knowledge that he was buried with all the houors that community could bestow. An extract from the Dawson News reads as follows;
 The remains rested in a handsome French gray casket, of couch design, opening the full length, revearing a white satin sunburst cover lining, with tufted satin pillow, and bed of white valance with chiffon over drape. On the top was silver Masonic design of square and com pass. About the casket were placed loads of floral tributes. gathered from Dawson greenhouses and gar deus. and sent by Dawson societies and numerous friends. The designs included large broken wheels, cross cs. pillows. wreaths, baskets, fra. terual emblems and like, together with many bouquets bound in flow ing ribbons. Notable among the group gifts, were: A floral circle, from the Dawson Board of Trade, of which Mr, Lilly was vice-presi- dent: square and compass, from Yu- kon lodge No. 45, A F. & A. NJ, and sCimeter and crescent, from the Dawson Shriuers club. So man, flowers were contributed that an ex. tra carriage was engaged to convey them.

ALASKAN FACES GRAVE CHARGE

San Francisco Sept. 6-Thomas H. Beaumont, a merchant of Fort Yukon, Alaska, was arrested in this city today upon the complaint of an eighteen year old girl, who swore that he took her to Alaska upon misrepresentations and attempted to employ her for evil purposes. If the evidence of the girl can be sub stantiated. Beaumont will be prose cuted under the white slave laws.
 Mrs. Beaumont was recently seen in Seattle at which time she said that her husband had left for the north about year ago with a young girl whom he introduced as his ward but as she was not living with her husband at the time she made no attempt to detain them.

GOVERNMENT ON JOB
 HOLDING UP SETTLERS

Depletion of Alaska's timber sup ply is going to be stopped by des- perate measures if the federal gov ernment has to neglect other busi- ness to plug the leak A notice posted on the interior wall Of the Seward postoffice informs H. V. Ho- ben, that Uncle Sam has seized T5 cords of wood cut for him, alleging that 1t was cut on the public domain instead of on adjacent land P. J. Murphy is similarly notified that 1I2 piles cut by him have been seized by the government.
 This Is the result of the benefi- cent laws governing Alaska, which forbid a settler to cut timber for his own use that will rot and 20 to waste if he doesn't cut It. The gov ernment spends more annually lr holding up settlers for the official price of a little wood than It gets out of all the stumpage cut. Mean. while more timber is falling to de cay than is used for all purposes Great is the wisdom of the East valdez Miner.

CUT IN RATES

There is promise Of a rate war among the steamship companies run ming from Sound ports to Skagway. A few weeks ago the companies got together in Seattle on an increase oi rates. which the Humboldt com. pauy refused to subscribe to. Then came the announcement that the original rates would be resumed, and now comes notice of a further lcSseninE.
 The Alaska Steamship company has notified their agent in Skagway that two dollar a ton rate is to apply hereafter which of course win be met by the other companies, who may even go them one better, and thus a rate war is liable to be started at any time.

 Under the workings of the new parcels post system the country will be divided into eight postal zones. The charge for carrying parcels will be five cents for the first pound, three cents for each additional pound within a 50-miIe radius with a gradual increase for the longer dIstanes, so that i2 ents will be the rate to points 100 miles apart. The house measure proved a unifori charge, regardless Of distances, just as in our regular mail service.
 At first it was thought that only the continental United States was included in the division into eight postal zones, but later Alaska was added as provided in the measure. The country will be mapped out ir- to regular quadrangles of fixed dimensions, according to the latitude and longitude and the plan will operate as follows

PENNSYLVANIA Frog Hunters.

All the sport is not found in angling
for the gamy bass or speckled trout.
The frog season is now open and if
there is any sport that requires skill
1t is catching frogs, says the Susque-
hanna Transcript.
There was a time when the twilight
soloists were taken any time during
cred to be of benefit to mankind, not
only as a food product but because
they kill embryo mosquitoes, it was de-
cided to have laws protecting them
The frog season will end Nov 30.
Nets are now being prepared, lamps
put in shape, gum boots tested to see
where a mouse or time has worn holes
through the rubber, and after dusk,
frog hunters throughout the surround
ing rural district VIII be seen vending
their way to the favorite frog pond or
stream.
Those who go for sport spend one
or two nights a week in search of the
greenbacks, and those who make liv-
ing by selling them to restaurants,
cafes, hotels and families rarely miss
night This us especially the case
at the start Of the season.
Veteran frog hunters do not reveal
their faVorite places. There are many
who have been going for years, and
even their closest friends do not know
where they make the large catches.
