Kansas City, June 29.—~The anti- saloon crusade at Kansas City, Kan., was renewed during the day with in- creased vigor. In addition to destroy- g stocks, liquor and bar fixtures C. W.

Mr. Trickett has begun send- Sadie Watkins, the young woman to whom he is engaged to be married. According to the story told by the girl Tuesday, when the al- leged assault took place, the man had a knife a foot long, sharp and ugly, and chased her all over the house with it threat- ening to kill her. She finally escaped unhurt and rushed toa place of safety. Deputy Sheriffs! Thomas, Jr. and Jobn Bailey hastened to Wilton Tucsday night and put the man under arrest. The story as told by Wilton residents is that Dulliver came to| ing warning of his intention to prop- erty owners. “This is to notify you,” reads the warning, “that if you permit said premises to be again used for the sale of intoxicating liguor, so as to make necessary the issuance of a second writ of abatement, I shall order the premises sufficiently demolished so that no third trip will be necessary and, in addition, will cite you for con- tempt of court in aiding and assisting in violating the order of the court.” There are about 100 saloons in Kan- sas City, Kan., about fifty of which have been closed. The liquors and xtures in fifteen of these have been seized by the county officials.

MAIN PLANKS N THE PLATFORM DEMAND ENFORCEMENT OF ANTI-. TRUST LAWS AND DECLARE' FOR TARIFF REVISION. | Milwaukee, June 29.—The plattotijm» adopted by the Democratic state,con- vention strongly endorses William Jennings Bryan as the Democratic candidate for president in 1908. Among other things the platform de- mands enforcement of the statutes against all trusts, combinations and monopolies; ‘favors revision of the present tariff; the election of United States senators by direct vote and government control and regulation of | all public service corporations. On state matters the report favors a law conferring upon municipalities power to regulate public service corpora- tions; favors 2 cents per mile maxi- mum passenger railroad rate; taxation on the ad valorem basis and amend- ments to the primary election law. The plank endorsing Bryan follows: “We regard with just pride and ad- miration the typical American who has been journeying in foreign lands the past year and, although only a private citizen, with none of the allure- ments of place or power about him, has been accorded distinguished con- sideration and attention wherever he has gone, solely because his course in public and private life alike has shown him to be a patriotic citizen, a wise and farseeing statesman and a thor- oughly honest and upright man, in whom the people can safely repose their utmost confiderice. We there- fore declare that we are heartily in favor of that typical American, Will- iam Jennings Bryan, as the Demo- cratic candidate for president in ‘1908 and we pledge our united efforts to secure his nomination.” When the report of the committee * was first read to the convention the resolution referring to William J. Bryan caused a tumult of applause, which lasted about three minutes. Three cheers and a tiger for Bryan were given repeatedly.

Extremély Embarrassing to the State Department. ‘Washington, June 29.—The Ger- man tariff situation is extremely em- barrassing to the state department. There is but little hope, however, that congress ‘will pass legislation which will make it possible for Secretary Root to live up to inducements held out to Germany which resulted in the temporary extension by Germany of its nilnimum tariff rates pending a readjustment of the American cus- toms regulations. Since Germany extended its mini- mum rates to the United States there have heen“repeated efforts to- obtain the customs changes. - Secretary Shaw agreed to these and they were laid before- eongress, but the bill under- went modifications and in the form it was reported to the house did not make good the promises of the state department.

De- ‘walt of Lehigh county. REVOLUTION THREATENED.

The anti-trust phase of the question was under considéra- tion. 1t was said that this question was still in the course of investiga- tion and that no conclusion has been arrived at. In reference to the other phase of the question, as to whether there has been any violation of the interstate commerce act by the Standard Oil company, the several district attor- neys summoned here by Mr. Moody have gone to their. respective homes and will be guided in their actions by existing conditions. It was said that they understood that the department of justice wants immediate action and they will either call special grand juries or file information, whichever course they decide to be most expe- ditious. PROVISIONS - OF MEASURE. Pure Food Bill as Finally Agreed on by Conferees. Washington, June 29.—The pure food bill, as finally put into shape by the joint conferees of the senate and house, makes it a misdemeanor for any person to manufacture, sell or offer for sale any article of food, drug, medicine or liquor which is adulter- ated or misbranded or which contains any-—poisonous or. deleterious sub- stance. ‘It provides for each first of- fense a fine not to exceed $500, one year’s imprisonment, or both, and for each subsequent offense a fine of not +less than $1,000, or one year’s im- prisonment. Section 2 prohibits the introduction into any state or territory or the Dis- trict of Columbia, from any other state, territory or district, or any for- elgn country, or the shipment to any foreign country of any article adul- terated or misbranded within the meaning of the act under penalty of a fine not exceeding $200 for the first offense and $300, or one year’s im- prisonment, or both, for each subse- quent offense. Concerning shipments to a foreign country it is provided that no article shall be deemed mis- branded or adulterated when no sub- stance is used in conflict with the laws of the foreign country for which it is intended. This clause, however, does not exempt any person from prosecution if the article is offered for domestic consumption. RETURNED BY CONFEREES. No Agreement Reached on Meat In- spection Amendment. ‘Washington, June 29.—The agricul- tural appropriation bill has been sent back to the house and senate for fur- ther action, the conferees being un- able to agree on the nieat inspection amendment. The senate conferees have con- ferred with President Roosevelt in re- lation to the differences between the two bodies and he told them that he preferred that an agreement should be reached whereby the packers would be compelled to pay the cost of inspection and that the dates of in- spection should be placed on cans of meat. He expressed the desire, how- ever, that the conferees evercise their judgment in regard to these points. The representatives of the senate will again present their compromise and will meet the argument that it is un- constitutional by admitting it and ar- guing that the bank tax act and the oleomargarine act were also unconsti- tutional, although effective legislation. WILL NOT RECOGNIZE ACTION. Mayor of Terre Haute, Ind., Ousted by City Council. Terre Haute, Ind., June 29.—The city council in the impeachment charges brought against Mayor Ed- ward J. Bidaman found the mayor guilty as charged and declared him ousted from office. Mayor Bidaman immediately took the chair and attempted to call the council to order.

NOT GUILTY, SAYS HARRY THAW, GOTHAM MURDERER YALE TAKES TWO RACES DEFEATS HARVARD IN FRESH- MEN AND VARSITY FOUR. OARED CONTESTS. New London, Conn., June 29.--It was like a chapter out of the story of Yale’s rowing history to see her de- feat Harvard in the freshmen and ‘varsity four-oared races on the Thames, the former being a splendid struggle and the other a walkaway win, Harvard men believe, however, that the freshmen race womld have been theirs had not Ellis at'bow dropped his oars through exhaustion when the finish was at hand. ~The crimson crew finished with seven oars. Up to this time the form of both crews had been fine in every particular, but the boys with the blue cars had the speed and the mettle. Harvard rowed gamely, but it was not in them to win this year despite the hopes of her wen. The races were rowed under fine conditions except that the day was very warm after a cool early morning. The wind was light, the river smooth | and the water favorable to the cre as both races were up stream with the tide. Harvard won the ’varsity eight- oared race. * DARK STORIES CF WHITE. Bad Reputation Given the Victim of Harry Thaw. New York, June 29.—Sinister re- | Jorts have reached the police of the tife and conduct of Stanford White during a pericd of years past. They | indicate that the noted architect and ! tlubman stooped to strange and un- usual practices. They spell a story which might better have occurred in the Neuronian period of the Roman | empire, The police know beyond any. shadow of doubt that White had paid ardent levotion to at least a score of beau tiful girls still in their early teens; that he had clothed them in costly raiment, had showered jewels and money upon them with a prodigality that stopped at nothing for the accom- plishment of the man’s purpose. The police declare that Stanford White knew these maidens for no good pur- pose; that he and several other noted men have made a practice for years of devoting hours of every day and im- mense. sums for the sinister gratifica- tion of their desires.
