THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 6. 1904 DR. KILMER'S SWAMP-ROOT. A LETTER TO OUR READERS 63 Cottage St Melrose, Mass. Dear Sir Jan. 11th, 1904. “Ever since I was in the Army, I had more or less kidney trouble, and within the past year it became so severe and complicated that 1 suffered everything and was much alarmed—my strength and power were fast leaving me.

Special Dispatch to The Call. ST. LOUIS, July 5—The making of the party platform will be one of the most intfresting of the contests. It is certain that many persons, disappoint- ed in their inability to add their share of authority in the ticket making, will take up the platform discussion and advance ideas as widely diverging as those presented in the. dozens of the State convention platforms offered for the consideration of the national con- vention. The New York delegation is active | in the platform question and the Bryan forces are equally alert. While it is unlikely that any effort will be nade to reaffirm the Kansas City and Chi- cago money planks, it is deemed ini- probable that an attempt will be made to declare for the gold standard. There- fore both factions have their idea as to what the harmonizing planks will be. PLATFORM PARKER FAVORS. It is seid that the platform drawn up by John Sharp Williams of Mississippi is acceptable to the Parker men. Some of its main features are as follows: We favor economy in the Federal administration, and to that end the cutting off of all unnecessary and im- perialistic expenditures—the former as soon as poseible after our accession to power and the latter gradually, but | surely and safely. “We favor the nomination and ele | tion of a President trained in the ways of the Constitution, who shall set his face sternly against executive usurpa- tion of legislative and judicial fune- tions, whether that usurpation be veil- ed under the guise of executive con- struction of existing laws or whether it take refuge in the tyrant's plea of necessity or superior wisdom. “We favor a wise, conservative and the tariff by friends of the masses and of the common weal and not by friends of its abuses, its extortions and its dis- crimination, keeping in view the ulti- mate end of ‘equality of burdens and equality of opportunities’ and the con- stitutional purpose of raising revenue by taxation. “We favor & reduction of tariff tax- ation upon trust-produced articles to a poirit where foreign competition may enter the American market wherever trusts and combines, seeking monopoly, raise their prices to the American con- +- on and reduction of | TO JUDGE PARKER Argument in sumer above a reasengble and ju | profit. | “We favor the restoration, as far | @s possible, under the prestige of the the historic and ever- ; Democracy lasting party of America—of the for- | elen policy made sacred to the Amer- lican people by the memory of the precepts and practices of George | Washington as President of the Unit- | ed States, when advised and counseled by Thomas Jefferson as his Secretary |of State, to-wit: A broad American | policy of ‘friendly relations with all | {nations and entangling alilances wllhi | none.’ H | “We favor the malatenance of the! {!\lnnrn(’ doctrine in ‘its full integrity | as conceived by Jefferson, announced ih"" Monroe and signally executéd by Grant and Cleveland. “We favor the preservation, so far as we can, of an open ddor for the | world’s ecommerce in the Orient, with- | out unnecessary entanglément in Ori- | ental and European affairs and with- | out arbitrary, unlimited, irresponsible {and absolute government anywhere under the Stars and Stripes or within the jurisdiction of the Union. “We favor the faithful execution, | without executive construction in the | courts of the country, of the laws of the United States as they are written and especially the enforcement with- out fear or favor of the interstate commerce and anti-trust laws. BOND ISSUES OPPOSED. “We oppose the issuance of inter- est-bearing bonds as long as the Fed- eral Government has money deposited in the treasury or in banks, subject to | call, sufficient to meet the expendi- tures necessary for the army, navy jand the civil .government and for | needed public works. “We favor just and liberal appro- priations for the inauguration and | maintenance of needed public works, | especially appropriations in the inter- |est of navigation, with the view of | cheaper transportation by land and | water. “We oppose the Republican policy |of starving home development th or- | der to feed the greed for conquest and "ho ‘schoolboy appetite’ for national | ‘prestige’ in displays of strength.” | The money plank is left entirely to the decision of the committee on reso- lutions. at various points coast follows: Arder Kopkin, Durke Risman and five children, Yudel Zernidew, Meir Selischtoh, Abraham Scharf, Edward Bohn, Wilhelm Hansen, Johanna Mehr, Karl Mathisen, Mrs. Mathisen and two Mrs. Isidor Hansen, Miss Hansen; Ingrid, Esther Harsen; Iny: along the British The list received to-day was as .

RELIEF FU D VD STARTED. Aperican Tourists Contribute Money for Norge Survivors. COPENHAGEN, July 5.—A subscrip- tion in behalf of the reiatives of the victims and of the rescued passengers of the Danish steamer Norge, which foundered Tuesday, June 28, was opened here to-day. Among the first donors were American tourists. Con- dolences are pouring in from the royal family and people in America and else where. The wives of two of the immigrants lost on the Norge attempted suicide by drowning to-day, but they were saved at the last moment. According to an order issued by the company, small steamers have begun a search of the islands and waters in the neighborhood of Rockall for surviv- ors. Crown Prince Frederick, who is re- gent in the absence of King Christian, has received confiolences from several sovereigne. —_——— STRIKE SITUATION IN SYDNEY IS SERIOUS Militia and Disorderly Element Clash and Plans Are Made to Meet Further Trouble. SYDNEY, C. B, July 5.—The strike situation here is critical, but the city officials express the opinion that the militia now on duty will be able to hold the disorderly element in check. The Sydney Field Battery and a de- tachment from the Forty-ninth High- land Regiment are patrolling the Do- minion Iron and Steel Company’s prop- erty. A new danger which oncerns this section is the possible extension of the strike of the collieries of the Dominion Coal Company, a corporation which, although controlled by the interests which own the steel works, has not been brought into the difficulty up to this time. The military and the strikers clashed to-day when the crowd about the steel works refused to let Director Frazer of the works, a sales agent and the super- intendent reach the gates. A squad of soldiers was called, and it was only by vigorous use of the bayonet that a pasgageway was made. It is apparent that the strikers are masters of the sit- uation outside the works. SYDNEY, C. B., July 5.—It is under- stood plans are now under considera- tion to increase the military on duty to 2000 for the further protection of the no-(-unlon men. = and Andrea | BEGS PARENT FOR HIS SON | Stenographer to President Sees Lad That Resembles Dead Son and Is Overcome ———— | WOULD ADOPT THE BOY Father Yields to Entreaty, but Child Will Not Go From Home to Washington AEII AN B Epecial Dispatch to The Call, SALT LAKE, Utah, July 5.—With | his voice so choked with sobs that he could talk only at intervals, C. A. Spof- ford, who says he is a stenographer to President Roosevelt, pleaded with J. H. Woolsey of Salt Lake to let him adopt the latter's twelve-year-old son. EI- win, who, Spofford says, is the exact image of his own little son who died three months ago. Spofford met the Woolsey boy in the street a few days &go, bought the lad a new suit of clothes and accompanied him home, where he endeavored in vain to per- suade the boy's parents to let him adopt their son. “Four years ago,” he said, “my wife and infart child died, leaving me one son, who died three months ago. This boy 1 fairly idolized. Since then life for me has been but a dreary waste. 1 have nothing more to live for. I have plenty of money, but that will not bring back my loved ones.” The stranger's emotion made so great an impression on the father that he consented to let the boy be taken to ‘Washington to be educated with the understanding that the boy be sent home at least twice each year. Yester- day Spofford took the boy to Ogden, agreeing to bring him back to-day in case the lad decided not to go to Wash- ington. The boy got homesick and | Spofford returned him to his parents to-night. Spofford is said to be a son of Ainsworth R. Spofford, librarian of Congress. He left for the East to- night. i | ! | | i | e SPANISH WAR VETERAN . HURT IN SHAM BATTLE Cannon Explodes and Large Splinter Is Driven Into Ex-Soldier's Neck, Severing Artery. ~ FRESNO, July 6.—J. Blohm was in- jured by the expiosion of a cannon while the Spanish-American war vet- erans and Companies C and F of the National Guard were participating in a sham battle last night. The maneu vers were being carried on in the dark and nothing could be gegen but the flashes of the muskets and cannon. Blohm was stooping in front of the cannon to get some wadding and as he raised up the gun exploded, the 2nr3e striking him in the left shoulder and face. It was discovered that a large splinter had pierced 11s neck and sev- ered an artery. Splinters were pulled from his breast and face and he is terribly burned. Blohm is a veteran ©f the Hanish war and is 25 years old. .|WATSON OF GEORGIA CHOSEN BY POPULIST CONVENTION TO HEAD N ATIONAL TICKET + DOES THINKING AT OYSTER BAY President Reaches His Sum- mer Home and Prepares to Take Up Offieial Matters| BEVERIDGE MAKES CALL! Mr. Roosevelt Has Not Yet! Decided Upon a Suecessor to Late Secretary Brigham Ml OYSTER BAY, L. L, July SA—Pres-' ident Roosevelt to-day transacted the first public business he has taken up since his val here on Saturday. Whilé nothing of serious importance | was considered, he and Secretar Loeb spent two or three hours in dis- posing of minor official matters and current correspondence. The President has not yet taken up the question of the appointment of a successor. to the late J. H. Brigham, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, and it may be some time before the appointment will be announced. The only visitor of importance to Sagamore Hill during the early hours of the day was &enator Beveridge of Indiana. He is a guest of Joseph Searce at the latter’s country home not far from Sagamore Hill. It was the first time since the Chicago con- vention that the President and Sena- tor Beveridge have met and their in- terview was purely informal and a friendly exchange of views on politi- cal subjects and was without special significance. —_—————————— HUSBAND UNABLE TO PAY THE HOTEL BILLS Pretty Mrs. Sargent Given a Divorce. Attorney Davidson’s Wife Wants Separation. A handsome young woman ap- peared at noon yesterday in Superior Judge Graham's courtroom and after a very brief recital of neglect, deser- tion and cruelty was granted an inter- locutory decree of divorce. The case was that of Gertrude M. Sargent against George T. Sargent, an adver- tising solicitor. They were married at Chicago July 22, 1901, and have separated six times since because of his inability to pay hotel bills and household expenses. In an amended complaint which was not submitted to the consideration of the court she re- cites the details of their troubles, which included his inability to pay the landlord at the Manitou Hotel in Salt Lake, their housekeeping ex- penses in a cottage in the same city, and various tradesmen and landlords at Los Angeles and San Rafael. Sev- eral times, for the reason mentioned, she left him and went to her mother in Denver, but upon representations from him as to his willingness and ability to support her in the style she had been used to,-she returned to him for periods ranging from one to four months. At San Rafael he is said to have shaken her and applied vile epi- | thets and in December of last year he repéated the insult on the streets of San Francisco. It develops that the defendant in a suit for divorce filed June 21 by Nel- lie J. Davidson against William W. Davidson is an attorney who has made a specialty of obtaining divorces for other persons. Mrs. Davidson in her complaint says that he is able to earn from $100 to $300 a month at his profession, but that the only com- munity property consists of house- hold goods of small value. Titus & ‘Wright are Mrs. Davidson’s attor- neys. . In the case of Benson against Ben- son Judge Graham granted the aged hugband a divorce on the ground of desertion. They were married in 1872 and the wife of more than a quarter of a century deserted him without ex- plaining the cause. Judge Graham brought OWt the fact that the plaintiff + - + POPULIST PARTY'S NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, L <+ Nominee May Decline : to Enter Ra&e for Presidency. g e 'SPRINGFIELD, 111, July 5.—Thomas E. Watson of Georgia, for President, and Thomas T. Tibbles of Nebraska, for Vice President, were nominated by the Populist convention to-day. The names of William V. Allen of Nebraska and Samuel W. Willlams of Indiana were piaced before the convention for President, but before the list of States had been completed in the roll call they were withdrawn and Watson was nomi- nated by acclamation. word that he would not enter into any scramble for the nomination, and while the nominations were being made he twice instructed the chairman of the Nebraska delegation to say his name must not go before the convention. In the face of this, however, he received more than forty votes. Whether Watson will accept the nomi- nation or not no one in the convention seemed to know, and all efforts to ob- tain some definite information from Watson's friends failed. Watson was quoted as having said that if the Dem- ocrats at St. Louis nominated Hearst he would support him for President. ‘Williams of Indiana received only a few votes and soon withdrew, moving to make Watson's nomination unani- MmMOous, There were five nominations for Vice President—Thomas H. Tibbles of Ne- braska, Theodore B. Rinder of Penn- sylvania, L. H. Weller of Iowa, George F. Washburn of Massachusetts and Samuel W. Williams of Indiana. The latter two declined and Tibbles received practically all the votes on the first ballot. Former Congressman E. F. Ridgley of Kansas attempted to secure the post- ponement of the nomination until after the 8t. Louls convention, but the con- vention promptly tabled his resolution. After the convention adjourned a meeting of the national committee was held, James H. Harris of Illinois being elected chairfan, Charles O. France of Lincoln, Neb., secretary, and George W. Washburn of Boston treas- urer. The committee on resolutions in its report to the convention reaffirmed adherence to the basic truths of the Omaha platform of 1892 and of the subsequent platforms of 1896 and 1900. The platform then demands that all meney be issued directly by the Government, every dollar to be full legal tender; demands postal sav- ings banks; upholds the right of labor to organize, and favors the enactment of legislation for the improvement of the condition of the wage-earners; demands the Initiative and referen- dum; favors prohibition of the alien ownership of lands: demands the withdrawal of special privileges to trusts and monopolies, and declares that the Government should own and control the ‘railroads, telegraph and telephone systems and should provide a parcels post. The platform was adopted unani- mously. et did not intend to be married again. It appeared in print Sunday that Marcus B. Dye had secured a divorce from his wife, Mary. The reéport was erroneous in that the divorce was granted to the wife on a cross-com- plaint on the ground of desertion and she was awarded the custody of their children and $25 a month alimony. i el ety The Nantucket South Shoals light- ship is farther from land than any other iw the world, being ffty-two miles from the island. 5 | DELEGATION, ST.

J. Harvey McCarthy, Martin Marsh and Martin F. Betkouski, dele- gates from Los Angeles, arrived hers this morning. Out of courtesy to them, Tarpey had postponed the meeting called to confirm appointments of com- mitteemen. ut when the Los An- gelenos arrived they refused to “take programme.” MeCarthy wanted to 2o on a committee.

It was McCaffery that hammered the San Diego delegation into line for in- structions for Hearst, when defeat was at Tarpey’s throat. If the right of the south to representation on committee were not recognized, McCarthy was positive that McCaffery's appeal would be considered. & TARPEY IS UNYIELDING. “‘Buf he was wrong.

As a result the Los An- geles delegates—in fact, all of those who had journeyed here from south of Tehachapi—are roaring mad. Joined with McCGee and Mooser, the McNab men of the delegation. they constitute a formidable opposition to Tarpey’ forces and Hearst would be out several votes to-night if these delegates could cast aside their conscience and bolt in- structions. As it is they may yet make trouble for Tarpey. isidore Dockwetler of Los Angeles arrived here in time to see the turning down of McCarthy. He is beside him- self with joy. The Los Angelenos are getting a sample of the Tarpey—and, incidentally, the Hearst—method, he says, and he trusts they will not for- get. McCaffery is a big man with the labor people of his section of the State, Dockweiler points out, and he is con- | fident the ignoring of McCaffery's ap- peal will put a different result on the next contest In which Hearst and Tar- pey are principals. Late to-night it was announced that McCarthy could go on the committee jto notify the nominee for Vice Presi- dent, if he desired. He declined this position with a sarcastic smile and said he was looking for an opportunity to do something for his pgrty, not for an opportunity to spend his money to sat- isfy his vanity. was clothed with the empty honor of vice chairman, added to the disturb- ance by throwing up his present olio. This makes the south solid and sore. The vice chairman does not carry the dignity of a committeeman. If the south could not be represented on committee, Simons refused to enjoy posing as one of the forty or fifty fig- urehead vice chairmen. His colleague commended his course. His successor will be named to-morrow. PUTS UP A BOLD FRONT. Tarpéy, unruffled by the anger of the Log Ahgelenos, makes the claim that he has formed a combination that ab- solutely precludes the nomination of Alton B. Parker. The great political manipulators that are handling Par- ker’s fight smile at the claim, but Tar- pey openly boasts that 400 delegates will cast their ballots first and last against the New York jurist. At a meeting of the California delegation this afternoon Tarpey announced these figures. He said that in insuring the dissension, would have #piit wide open | it M. F.

He urged that the | delegates redouble their efforts on be- | half of their candidate, as he believed | Hearst's chances were more favorable | than these of any man whose candi- dacy has wom the stamp of promi- nence. The fact that Tarpey thus informed the California delegation is no in- dication that he voiced unbiased opinion. He is too old a politi- cian to betray his view On the | night before his Waterloo in the fight for the chairmanship of the Santa Cruz convention he smilingly announced that the fight was wom when it was a foregone conclusion that he was beaten. He knew he was beaten, too, but no in- dication came from him. Tarpey is not less informed as to the situation here than ail of his adherents. They see no chance for victory and M Tarpey's stand they only see an effort to hold for Hearst for the first ballot the largest .r of votes possible. The second ballot, it Is the general opinion, will place Hearst out of the running. | Tarpey, after he concluded his analy of the Presidential situation, announced his selections for commit- teemen, as heretofore published. MOOSER CRITICIZES McCABE. | An adjournment was about to be taken when Delegate Louis H. Mooser complained that MeCabe, secretary of the delegation, had caused unnecessary atements to be published about him. McCabe said he regretted he had been the cause of friction in the delegation and as the row over the turning dow=n of McCarthy eclipsed all other dissen- | stons the affair was allowed to drov. | McCabe still retains his smie “and Mocser his frown, but it is the general opinion that the incident is sed. The absence of former Governor Budd, who is an adroit harmonizer, is an element of weakness In the fight being made by the California delega- | tion for Hearst. His magnetic person- ality and knowledge of the art of bring- | ing men into line make him a valuable campaigner and his presence at the head of the Californians would enthuse them to greater efforts. Many inquiries are made about Budd by the Eastern politicians, who have heard of his | prowess as an orgaanizer and cam- paigner. He is known as California’'s biggest Democrat and would be a cen- tral figure had he made the trip to St. Louis. Among clo the San Franciscans who zlled at the California headquarters te-day were Sidney Schwartz, J. B. Brooks, A. Ruef, Alfred Roncovieri, Walter Gallagher and R. Porter Ashe. Ruef met many Eastern politicians and absorbed all he ceuld fin@ on the subtle game of caucus and ballot. After a meeting of the Nevada dele- | gation to-day Senator Newlands said: “We are not instructed for Hearst, as | has been asserted. A resolution favor- ing Hearst was adopted by our conven- | tion, but we were in no way bound to | stand by Mr. Hearst throughout the fight. If it develops that it is to our | best interests to vote for some other candidate we are at liberty to do so.” This statement is specially significant | in view of the fact that several delega- tions are considering the advisability of abandoning the Hearst band wagon. —_————————— WEASELS MAK_. FIERCE ATTACK ON SHEEPOWNER Washington Stockman Compeilled to Fight for Life With Band of Little Animals. TACOMA, July 5.—Frank Hawley, a sheepowner, residing at Lynden, had a fierce fight yesterday with a band &1 | weasels which attacked his sheep. Hur- rying to the spot where his sheep were in a panic, Hawley was surprised to ! find three dozen weasels attacking his | lock. When he picked up a stick and began fighting them they left the sheep and attacked him. Hawley's faithful ! dog joined in the fight. Hawley struck right and left at the small animals until his club was broken. As he started to pick up an- other club a number of weasels at- tacked his trousers leg and tore out pieces of cloth. Two of the little fight- ers got hold of the dog’s nose, and it was with great difficulty that he shook them off.
