After a short open session in the morning an adjournment Awes taken for the rest of the day, while conferences were being held In the judge's chambers. There are two more jueore to secure. Attorneys in the case were cautioned by the court not to reveal the cause of the delay. It is known that two jurors who have been accepted are now being debated. Elmer N.

Neterstrom. 24 Clara place, has proved unsatisfactory to the state on account of certain family connections that have oome to light. James Girten. 2198 West lanais street, is slated for discharge by the defense for legitimate reasons. The scandal.

If one develops, lies deeper than. these two men. Judge Chytraus said that no attempt had been made to bribe the jury and this subject was shunned by all the lawyers. Refuses to Discuss Delay. Patrick H.

O'Donnell, who is leading counsel for the defense, said: You will have te get your information from Judge Chytraus. I cannot say what caused the I cannot discuss the case," said George M. state's attorney, prosecuting the case. I cannot say what the reason was for the delay." It was shortly before 10 o'clock when the lawyers entered the judge's chambers. No veniremen had yet been questioned as to their fitness to serve as jurors.

A few minutes later the bailiff announced that court would adjourn until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. At that time the lawyers again were in conference in chambers, and shortly before 8 o'clock a second announcement was made that the case would be resumed at 9:30 o'clock this morning. Itecalls Murder Charge. The correct name of Hip Lung. leading figure in the trial, is Moy Dong Chew.

He is a wealthy retired merchant and is Internationally prominent among his countrymen. With his brother, Moy Dong Hoy, and Harry Lee. he is on trial for the murder of Chin Wei. who was killed last October in Chicago's Chinatown. He was shot thirteen times.

Hip Lung and his brother are reported to be officials in the On Leong Tong society, composed of wealthy Chinamen all over the world, and when Wei was murdered members of the Ilex) Sing Tong society sought to fasten the crime on the Moys and gave information which resulted in their indictment. The prosecution claims that Hip Lung instigated the crime. Chairman William L. O'Connell of the democratic county central committee made a complete Job of the democratic preprimarypians last night by announcing the makeup of two committee9 to look into the exact statue of the party in these parts. One of these committees is what might be called high browed, and the other, by cornpari9on, is low browed.

In getting both of these committees at work and cobrdinating their efforts Mr. O'Connell has seen to it that no stones will be left unturned which, if turned, would have contributed to democratic success. It is announced with emphasis and distinctness that nothing so coarse as slate making Is to be undertaken by the committees. The republicans have tamed a body of distinguished statesmen who will endeavor frankly and without dissimulation to slate candidates for the primaries. Nothing of that sort I for the democrats.

The two committees of .01 the democracy are merely for persuasive purpoees. Ten "Highs" Aid Sixteen "Lows." Sixteen democrats of the practical or low browed variety have been named as persuaders and they are given the aid. advice, and comfort of ten Idealistic or high browed persuaders who form a body known as the advisory committee." Thus Aid. Michael Kenna, who is named as one of the practical factors in the democracy, will have the aid and advice of Attorney Levy Mayer. who is a representative of the higher life democracy.

Mr. Kenna and Mr. Mayer. with their practical and high life associates, are expected to go Out Into the highways and byways and scrutinize the democracy. Where they find a bad man aspiring for office they will chide him gently and tell him to forget it.

Where they find a good man modestly refraining from seeking office they will stimulate him and urge him into the arena. Adolf Kraus and Stanley Kunz. as representatives of the high and low democracy, will seek to encourage the good and discourage the bad. John G. Neumelater, who is known as a fine judge of cheese, and John Powers form another combination of the high life and the practical.

O'Connell Announces Committees. The full committees as Mr. O'Connell announced them follow: SIDE. John Powers, Conlonk Stanley Knits. Joseph Denis Egan.

John J. Ittolaaughlits. F. C. Burks.

to- Ali I OLD THEATER MAN IS DEAD i 1 The saloon interests of Gary. have lost the first round in their battle with the remonstrators." but they went down fighting. The Lake county commissioners. sitting at Crown Point, yesterday upheld the remonstrators who bad secured 168 signatures to a petition demanding that all the saloons In Calumet township be abolished. As only 820 votes were cast in the last election, that for secretary of state two years ago, the remonstrators had an ostensible majority of voters behind them.

The Gary Saloonkeeper? association. through its attorney. M. E. Da llion, lamediately announced it would appeal the case to the Lake county Superior court.

and if necessary to the state Supreme court. If the commissioners decision is however. the 130 gallica in the township will have to close their doors. In Gary' alone 110 places will be doomed. As they are clustered in one district south of the Wabash track, it is said such an eventuality would fesult in a material lowering of real estate values.

Fight Tooth and Nail. The saloonkeepers fought tooth and nail against the remonstrance. Attorney Dal-lion claimed they had no notice that the petition had been filed. and asserted every name had been secured outside of Gary. However, the association wasted no time after it did learn of the remonstrance.

Every petitioner was questioned personally in a strenuous effort to discover evidence of fraud. or duress. They even filed a counter petition signed by 1,500 residents. but the effort proved vain. In case the commissioners' decision should be upheld the saloons will be abolished for two years when the issue again would be raised in a new election.

As Gary will have thousands of voters in this election the saloonkeepers express confidence that even in the event ot a court defeat they will prove victorious in the end and reopen their buildings. Bar in Lyons Park? The superintendent of the Creszn City Amusement park. In the township of Lyons, says that when the park opens on Sunday it will have a bar. Members of the Anti-Saloon league say it will not. The township of Lyons went dry In the spring election and the saloons in, the village of Lyons had to close.

but now have been turned into ice cream parlors for summer ex-4 The township contains many picnic resorts along the Despiaines river. and includes the villages of Lyons, La Grange, Summit. Gary, and others. Summit and Gary still have saloons, for the old licenses of the saloons In those villages do not expire until the end of June. P.

J. Doubek, superintendent of the Cream City park, said in the afternoon: Several breweries in Chicago have bid for the concession to run a bar in the park. No concession will be made until proof is brought to me that it will be poesible to run a bar." The question has arisen in connection with the proposed opening of the bar at the park as to whose duty it will be to enforce the law. Justice of the Peace E. B.

Bushnell of La Grange said it was Anybody's busine-ss, and what's anybody's business is usually nobody's businees. I guess that if the law, is enforced at all the Anti-Saloon league will have to foot the bills." aM2 John A. ITamlin, Founder of the Grand Opera House, Succumbs. LONG CAREER rx CHICAGO. Harrisburg, May 2aAfter one of the bardest fights within the party in several years, the democratic state convention here teday decided not to instruct its -delegates large to the Denver convention for Bryan.

John T. Lerahan of Wilkesbarre made a vigorous attack upon Bryan, which roused the Bryanites to a high pitch of excitement. Lenahan declared Bryan had led the party to destruction." and that he was a withering blight upon the democratic party." It was a clean cut victory for the democratic organization, headed by Col. James M. Guffey of Pittsburg, the Pennsylvania member of the national committee.

The Guffey people offered a 'platform silent on the presidential question, and the Bryanites immediately offered an amendment instructing the delegates at large for Bryan. It was defeated by a vote of 34 Then they offered another amendment containing the Bryan plank of the 1906 state convention, and it went down to defeat-- toll. Call for Tariff Revision. When the platform wan presented to the Convention at the afternoon session Jere S. Black, a Bryanite leader, offered as a minority report the second amendment defeated in the meeting of the committee on resolutions.

This started the fireworks, and the display lasted an hour and a half. Black made an earnest plea for instructions. and former Congressman James Kerr supported the Bryan plank. The minority report was defeated, 1ST to 123.

May 20.T-he state democratic convention today instructed rte national delegates for Bryan by unanimous vote. At no time during the sessions did the slightest opposition to the Nebraskan develop.

FERRIS, EDWARD RYAN. The following Is an abstract of the resolutions adopted by the convention: The democracy of Michigan felicitates the people upon the many evidences of a rising sentiment which promises speedy reform In vital affairs. Both in state and nation the public conscience is demanding the restoration to the people of rights and privileges selfishly and often corruptly appropriated by ambitious individuals and corporations. The cohesive powers of public plunder must give way to the public spirit which seeks the good of the whole people. The movement of public sentiment has been for years constant in the direction of democratic ideals.

The opposition reluctantly and for the most part insufficiently yields a seeming assent to the demands insistently voiced in many platforms of our party. Scarcely a principle which has formed the basis of our recent party utterances remains unappropriated to some extent by the republican SOUTH SIDE. Alexander Wisniewaki John Z. Bradley.

Crist. Greiner. Victor BardonskL Outlines Plan of Organization. 'The purposes of the two committees are explained by Mr. O'Connell thus: There will be no slate made.

The) committee from the county central committee will have the aid of the advisory committee in endeavoring to bring out suitable candidates for office. A report will be made to the full county central committee. but it has not been decided that there will be a caucus and there may be none. There may be no slate. The two committees will endeavor to Induce high grade men to become candidates in the primariesi on Aug.

S. Special attention will be paid Co the foreign born citizens ot the city and they will be urged to see that their respective nationalites put forward the best men who can be persuaded to represent them in seeking office." To show that some such idea has been working among the different nationalities anal races in the city Mr. O'Connell read a letter sent to both the republican and democratic organizations by the Jewish Civio league, In which complaint was made that the organizatons, in seeking candidates to give the Jewish people representation on the tickets, had not been careful to select men to whom the peopleetto be represented could give their entire and unqualified support. Mr. O'Connell is convinced that the democratic persuasive idea will be rated as a much more idealistic and high minded conception than is the republioan idea of merely elating men and throwing the weight of the organization behind them to put them through the primaries successfully.

Many Candidates for Governor. While these plans are being made with regard to the county ticke the demoeratio candidates for governor are wishing that some good persuaders would get to work and persuade the aspirants who threaten. to get in the race to keep out of it. Col. James Hamilton Lewis would be pleased if some one would persuade former Vice President Adial Stevenson not to become a candidate.

Mr. Stevenson had friends In Chicago during the day looking over the possibilities with regard to the candidacy of the Bloomington man.
