Williams of ISlassaehusette receivtd an ovation when be entered the hotel Be went to a room where Candidate Sewall was receivirg friends The absence of the New York Democrats form the gathering shows conspicuous The first meeting of the day was that of the Committee on Notification to arrange for the meeting tonight The conunitttee organised by electing Governor Stone of Missouri chairman Governor Stone read the committee a letter from Senator White of California who had originally been chosen to deliver the speech of notification but who asked the Governor to officiate in his stead on account of his inability to come East The action of Senator White was ratified The roll call showed the only States not represented were Maryland Oregon Waehington and West Virginia Senator Gorman It was understood would serve as a member of the committee of Ii is State A spirited protest was made by NH Merman of Pennsylvania against the treatment of the Notification Committee by New Yorkers having the meeting in charge "This is our meeting" he said "and yet we are given no consideration They have given us only three tickete apiece Some of U4 have come a long way brought our friends here and now we cannot get them into the hall We are not obliged to go to the Garden We can notify the candidates here in the hotel" The protesting delegate was informed by Stone that this phase of the matter had already been discussed at yesterday's meeting of the National Committee and it was too late to make any changes The discussion became so warm the committee went into executive session The committee decided to meet at the Fifth avenue hotel and march to Madison Square Gardens Then it adjourned The program contemplates Gov Stone will deliver the notification speech tc Bryan who will respond Then with a few words Governor Stone will present to Sewall a written notice of his nomination as Vice-Presidential candidate who will respond briefly the whole length of Main street I blew myself for 10 cents--" "The gentleman will please confine himself to facts Other members hove nothing to do with his finances" interrupted President Teed Mr Munson said be saw nothing but a few "unmanned" shovels here and there along the street He discovered one man who was "killing time" by filling chuck boles fle knew of people moving out of houses On Main street on account of the "torn-up" condition of that street Owners of houses were unable to rent them Was it any wonder that everybody was complaining? "It is an imposition on property owners it is an imposition on this Council" declared Mr Munson with couch feeling Mr Posse 11 said he believed the contractor did not intend to do the work They bad put a few shovels and a man or two on the street for a "blind" In view of this condition of things he would move that the report of the City Attorney be adopted and that the contract wilh Long be canceled Mr Munson lost no time in seconding the motion City Attorney Dunn at this point said there was every reason why the contract should be canceled He thought however that in the interest of the property owners the Council should delay acting in the matter for a day or two to give the contractor a chance to colnrnence work He had reason to believe that if the contract woe cancekd at this time Long and his associates would bring suit against the city and if they were to do this things would be tied up worse than ever President Teed asked Widney if he intended to lay concrete between Ninth and Eleventh streets this week and he replied that he did Mr man or two? Mr many men as can be advantageously need Mr want the street paved I think these contractors in order to give those few felows who are sitting on the curb a chalice to work should be given another little chance and I therefore move to amend Mr Pessell's motion by allowing them until Monday to do something "I understand" continued Mr Kingery "that this loan Long has had a law suit in every town where he has cone work and we would no doubt have a suit with him if we shut down at once" Mr am not favorable to an amendment I want their heads cut elf right now Mr Munson objected to Kingery's amendment The Council had been trilled with long enough "Are we going to keep the street in the deplorable condition it Is now?" he asked "It is an outrage on property-owners There is a clod of dirt on Main street as thick as on a country road Let us annul the contract repair the street at the city's expense and make the bonds-flies of the contractors pay for the work" Mr Mr Widney hadn't come before the Council I would be willing to vote to cancel the contract But I think under the circumstances we might delay matters till Monday Mr cannot sock 'em too 1 bard Mr are socking us Then Mr Kingery told of an Irishman he had beard of and a smile passed over the Council President Teed sold he wanted to see Main street paved It would not hurt the Council to wait till Monday The amendment of Mr Kingery was seconded by Mr Blanchard and the motion of Mr Nissen as amended vas put with the following result: Blanchard Kingery Stockwell Teed Pessell Munson Mr Widney was informed by President

cause they found that seventy-five Yaqui and Ternochio Indiars had made an attack on Nogales Sonora for the purpose of securing arms and money to aid in the overthrow of the Mexican government in the interest of Santa Teresa de Cabora As a result of the attack seven Indians are dead one badly wounded who will die one prisoner two celadores Mexican custom house guards Francisco Fernandez and Manuel Delahanty dead another Jose Penn mortally wounded and Crecencio Urbino keeper of a little fruit stand dead Intense excitement prevails on both sides of the line and business is almost at a standstill The dead guards were highly respected brave and efficient officers The seven dead bandits are b'ing In the jail yard A posse has organized to follow the escaping revolutionist The morning session of the Afro-American Convention now in sessic in Illinois hall has been one of wild excitement all owing to the friction in the Pasadena Leaguers It seems in this beautiful and classic spot there are two colored societies the Afro-American Lear le and thn Douglass League which hold rival setsstens ceel who do not agree on any matters of import political social or otherwise The spirit of dissension has been the ruling one in the convention since its commencement The smoke of the battle was in the air when the convention was called to order at 10:30 a in President Morton Anderson invoked the divine blessing on the assembly and asked that the Creator would do away with the wrongs that had so long been perpetttated against the African race After prayer an effort was made to appoint a committee on rules but it was done away with on the ground that it was not ex pedient to appoint a committee before the convention knew its delegates The report of the Committee on Credentials was then called for the chairman first presenting the report as a whole The section on the seating of delegates gave Alareeda 61 Los Angeles 64 San FratiejSCO 57 Stockton 20 San Jose 2 Redding I Bakersfield 10 Fresno 3

It admitted proxies and it taxed members of the convention $1 clues The reading of this report of the Credentials Committee was the signal for the beginning of the battle A Jones moved that the report be adopted A A Celina moved to lay the report on the table Other motions and amendments were offered Finally the one to table the report obtained the recognition of the house but was lost by a vote of 32 to 45 An objection was made to the seating of the lady delegates but the President promptly put a quietus on this by saying with decision that the ladies of the Afro-' American League were delegates and entitled to their seats Jones of Fresno then objected to the $1 assessment and argued at length on this question After continued end repeated interruptions and objections and discussion on the different sections of this report Collins of Pasadena presented a minority report The minority report was to the effect that the Douglas Afro- i American League should not be reprosented and that all proxies with proper credentials should be admitted Amid a wild furore this report was tabled President kept his head admirably the floor was tilled with those rising on points of order and questions of privilege accusations of bull-dozing filled the air the chairman of the majority report attempted to explain the features of the report All attempt at order was lost fur a time but the President finally succeeding in restoring order and the vote was taken to adopt the report section by section Ibis motion prevailed by a vote of 50 to 46 and the first section on the seating of delegates was read This was the signal for the battle again and all rushed into the fray which was still under full heading at the noon hour Among the distinguished guests in the convention is Mrs

W86 suspended for more than an hour this morning directly above the neck of the Maiwetreet paving contractor At times it looked as though the little thread aupporting the death-dealing instrument would be parted by the great strain No one bus the faintest idea of the great chunks of dissatisfaction and indignation that are lying everywhere in the front yards on Main street excepting those who have met property-owners in the district and heard them give vent to what they term "theii notorious treatment" at the hands of Long and his associates whom the City Council some months ago entrusted with the work of paving Main street The Council at its regular meeting last Monday received the following opinion from City Attorney Dunn: "At your last meeting you instructed nee to advise you as to what can be done to have the paving of Main street proceened with During the past week I have been assured by parties interested in the contract that a full force of roan would be put upon the work this morning and the work prosecuted with due diligence and that it would not be necessary for you to take any further measures in the matter But so for as I can learn there is no work being done upon the street today and I am led to believe from repeated failures upon the part of the contractor to proceed with the work that no attempt to substantially comply with the terms of his contract will be made until there is a decision of the Supreme Court as to the validity of street improvement bonds "However much the contractor may be disinclined to enter upon a work of this magnitude until he is satisfied with the validity of the proceedings he cannot expect the city and the people on this street to wait until he has a decision front tile courts The same uncertainty existed When he bid upon the work as exists TIOW The leople on Main street are entitled to relief in this matter at once I would therefore recommend that you order the contract heretofore entered into between the city and John Long canceled and annulled upon the ground that Le has failed to comply with its terms and conditions especially that condition which provides that the work shall be diligently prosecuted until completion and that you direct the Street Superintendent to notify Mr Long that his contract has been canceled and that he will not be perrnitted upon said street for the purpose of doing any further work thereon under sai I contract" No action was taken in the matter it being argued that when the Council adjourned for the day it would be to meet in adjourned session this morning at 11 o'clock to take action on the report As predicted in last evening's Express the adjourned a lively one Thirty electric fans could not have stirred up a greater breeze than prevailed (luring the discussion The Councilnien who have been "roasted'' not a little for the condition of things on Main street rose Up in the face and grew eloquent declaring emphatically that something must be done Robert Whiney one of the bondsmen of Contractor Long who has figured quite a deal in the matter appeared before the Council He said the contractor was doing all he could The delay was due to the sub-contracts not commencing It had been the intention to commence active operations last Monday but something went wrong and another delay followed lie said the contractor and himself were sincere in the matter and would do what was right Mr Snyder interrupted Mr Widney by inquiring why the contractor had been delaying right along since last May Mr Widney replied that the first subcontractors had not come to time and that it had been necessary to enter into new contracts "How about those stories of you people going to get latest improved machinery to Jay the pavement?" asked Mr Snyder with a strong flavor of sarcasm in his voice "It was the sub contractors who were talking about machinery" quickly replied Mr and continued: "We ourselves have not said anything about machinery The sub-contractors can lay the pavement by any process they like so long as the work is done right" "Are you doing any paving today?" asked Mr Munson "No sir we are not" long will it take you to get ready to commence paving?" "Oh several days at most" "Yes several days and here you have been fooling along since last May" "We are doing the best we can Mr Munson" "Is it a fact" continued Mr Munson "that this delay is all due to the fact that the Supreme Court has not yet handed down its Opinion Mr Munson" replied Widney "if I was to say no you wouldn't believe me but it is a fact that we are not" Air Munson inquired if Whiney thought the property owners on Main street had been fairly dealt with and be replied that it had been an unfortunate state of affairs to the property owners and doubly so to the contractors "It is the sub-contractors that have thrown us out" said Whitney "Well what has this Council got to do with sub-contractors anyway?" asked Mr Munson tiring up "We were led to believe that Mr Long was to do this work We awarded him the contract flow we find out that a lot of irresponsible follows about whom the Council knows nothing are to do the work It's simply disgusting "Early this morning"

exist within time party under whose emblem he works for victory imovember If however the ordeal was one that would make nervous the average man its effect upon Bryan was not to the (Ibsen er of that character Bryan stepped from time train and grasped the hand of Senator Jones Chairman of the Democratic Committee His greeting showed not on iota of nervousness or fear but rather a tinge of bravery in facing a gladness at being among those with whom he could discess and argue the great issues of the campaign The crowd at tie Jersey City station of the Pennsylvania Hallway to greet the Bryan

evidently Democraticj in its proclivities and sympathies The majority of time men stood with their coats off to relieve themselves of the terrific heat There were a few women in time crowd Awaiting the arrival of the train the crowd amused itself by watching Chairman Jones Vice Presidential Nominee Sewall'W St John and National Committeeman Tomlinson of Indiana eating a modest repast in the

a second boat To go a distance of less than a hundred feet it took the party some fifteen minutes or more The police threatened with their batons and hustled and jostled people to clear a passage-way Time mob was good-natured but insistent and demanded in anything but dulcet tones that Bryan should speak He smiled and shook his head in refusal and then the crowd called for Sewall Finally the police made a way and the party reached time boat They went upstairs into time pilot's cabin while at least two-thirds of the crowd surged in upon the lower deck and as the ferry plowed its way to the Desbrosses-street slip kept shouting their approval of the candidate and his principles When time boat reached the dock in New York Captain Cross with a cordon of police held the crowd aboard the boat for a few minutes while Bryan Sewall and the remainder of the party entered a carriage in waiting When they got outside the ferry gates they found at least five hundred more people awaiting and although they made all diligent efforts to allow time carriage to proceed it was stopped several times the last time being when time horses annoyed and scared by the shouting balked Besides Bryan and Sewall Chairman Jones and St John occupied time carriage Time National Chairman became a little frightened at time behavior of the horses and left the carriage Time remainder of the party sat quietly

anested on the charge of burglary of the Chicago Clothing Company the latter part of July The morning papers ascribed all the horrors and tortures of Siberia to his incarceration and with pathos told of the final die charge when the pclice bad determined to release him The truth of the matter is as follows: Gurvetz was arrested charge of burglary and at the time everything pointed to his being the guilty man At the time of his arrest he was told the reason of his arrest and he was shown the goods that were recovered from a third 'arty It was true that everybody was not allowed to see hint who wanted to as the police would be harassed and annoyed to a great degree All those who had any right to see him was accorded the opportunity Two days after his arrest he was arraigned before Justice Morrison and was told by Justice Morrison as to his rights and privileges He was told that he had a right to hire an attorney and giveu to understand his position The first request made by Mr Gurvetz for an attorney was yesterday morning and the attorney was notified and came to the jail This attorney called and evidently didn't care to take the case as in the afternoon Mr Oliver came and said he represented Mr Gurvetz Instead of being arraigned yesterday as alleged he canto up before Judge Morrison for examination It arrears that Mr Gurvetz has had all the privileges that are usually accorded to people suspected and that his arrest and detention was for the purpose of furthering the ends of justice and for the purpose of ascertaining who the guilty parties were The police are confident that in a short time that their efforts will be vindicated and justified But all this talk about Siberian cruelty is the merest Tommyrot Thomas James one of the parties connected with the disposal of

shove ends and a blow begins Young claims that while ordering the contractor out of the way he used coarse and rude language which impelled him to shove him aside On the other hand Young maintains with much emphasis that he was struck by the contractor According to the appearance of Young's head it was a powerful shove yet there were many witnesses to prove that they saw it and it was just such
