C. LOUIS, July . The committee on
jesolutlons met in a room connected with
the convention hall Immediately after ad
journment of the convention and, after ef
fecting an organization and transacting
considerable preliminary work, adjourned
to meet In the parlors of the Southern
hotel at 7 o'clock. The meeting waa called
to order by former Benator Hill of New
York and on his tnotlon Senator Daniel of
Virginia waa elected chairman of the com
mute and given authority to appoint a
secretary and a subcommittee of eleven to
attend drafts of platform and report.
The suggestion having been made that
the committee should adjourn till 7 o'clock
Mr. Bryan suggested that If there were
any members of the committee who had
drafted platforms which they desired to
present they should submit copies to the
members of the full committee that they
might have time to consider them.
"Jf," said Chairman Daniel, "the gentle
man from Nebraska has a platform I
should be very glad, Indeed, for one, to
have a copy of It."
Mr. Bryan replied that he had none.
At this Juncture a number of members
Stated that they had formulated various
resolutions which they desired to submit,
among them being Mr.' Williams of Mis
sissippi, 'who presented' his resolutions In
'printed form; Mf. Newlands of Nevada,
who presented some planks; Mr. Daniel,
who presented a draft ot a platform, which
he said had been prepared by a member of
the Virginia'' delegation; Mr. Tillman of
South Carolina, a plank on the race ques
tion, declaring It to be the position of the
democratic party that "this Is a white
man's government," and by John Prentiss
Poe, 'the Maryland member of the delega
tion, who stated that the views of Benator
Gorman were embodied In his draft.
The financial plank is brief, being In full
as follows:
The democratic party congratulates the
country upon the indication of the demo
cratic contention for an increased volume
of real or metallic money in a manner
acceptable, to all democrats by the addition
to the world's stock of money metals of
$2.(X.000.000 In gold within eightyears, from
which then United States have been ahle
to obtain I700.fl00.000 thereby doubling their
stock of standard money, raising their
per capita from 23 to 130. The fact that
this result has been reached by no action
of government but by the action of God,
through His main Instrumentalities of dis
covery. Invention and Industry does not
lessen our gratification.

The full committee then entered upon
the consideration of the labor question In
connection with. plank presented by ex
Governor C. 8. Thomas of Colorado:

Governor Thomas urged the adoption of
the plank In strong terms and In doing
so referred at length to the labor troubles
In Colorado, saying that the acceptance
of the proposition would do much to ren
der Colorado safely democratic.
He was replied to by Mr. MacMshon of
Ohio, who said that while the adoption
of this plank might do much to secure
the labor vote It would also probably have
the effect of depriving the party of the
support of the employers of labor.
The labor question was then temporarily
laid aside.
The committee entered Upon a series of
hearings of outsiders. Including represen

National Woman's Suffrage Association,

BAILEY RFFtSES CHAIRMANSHIP
Wants to "tar " the Floor and right
Bryan Planks.
ST. LOfI9. July 6 Senator J. W. Bailey
of Texas and Representative Champ Clark
of Missouri have both declined to accept
the permanent chairmanship of the demo
cratic national convention. When the com
mittee met It organized without delay.
Senator Bailey and Representative Clark
were put In nomination and the former was
elected by a vote of IS to 16. The com
mittee then unanimously elected Charles
A. Walsh of Iowa, secretary of the na
tional committee, as permanent secretary
of the convention.
All the other officers of the temporary
organization were made permanent and
the committee adjourned, under the Im
pression that Its labors were ended. Sev
eral members werit to the exposition
grounds and the others dispersed, so that
a quorum could not be found an hour
later.
When Senator Bailey was Informed of
his election, he at Once announced that he
could not accept, as he desired to be on
the floor when the platform Is under dis
cussion. He expected to combat an at
tempt from the Bryan forces to Inject Into
the platform planks which do not meet
the approval of the committee. There
fore his declination of the chairmanship
was respected. Senator Bailey argued that
the chairmanship should be given to Mr.
Clark, and a committee consisting of
John Er 8heehan and P. H. McCarren
called on him and made the tender.
Mr. Clark announced that he was en
gaged to put the name of Senator Cockrell
in nomination for thf presidency and,
therefore, would have to be on the floor
during the convention. He was urged Jo
reconsider and Anally agreed to send a
telegram to Senator Cockrell to the effect
that the place had been offered him. If
Senator Cockrell makes no objection Mr.
Clark will be accepted. '
In view of the certainty that Parker will
be nominated. It Is believed that Senator
Cockrell will ask that his name be with
drawn. At a later hour tonight the few
members of the committee In the Southern
hotel were trying to And a quorum In
order to hold a meeting.
Neither Senator Bailey or Mr. Clark
knew that the latter's name was to be
voted on for the chairmanship. Senator
Bailey tonight gave out the following
statement In relation to the situation:
"I will not accept on election as per
manent chairman over Champ Clark. When
I served with him In the house of repre
sentatives he was one of my most loyal
and valuable friends. If thta were a case
ot a close contest for a presidential nom
ination In1 which Mr. Clark and myself
were supporting- different candidates, I
would not hesitate to allow my name to
be used even against a friend like Clark,
because : we'' would simply represent our
respective presidential preferences. There
Is however, no contest "here and conse
quently -no-political reason why I should
allow myself to be drawn into a contest
with such a friend as Champ Clark.

DIFFICt'LTIES FACE CONVENTION
Mar Have to Hold Brief Session at St.
Isoals Today,
8T. LOUIS, July . On account of the
difficulties which have arisen In connection
with the various matters of a preliminary
character connected with 'the conveptlon, a
concision has been reached to "have only a
very brief session of the convention tomor
row. The convention will meet at 10 o'clock,
but It Is probable that none of the Import
ant commltteea will be able to report at
that time. The committee on resolutions
surely will not be, and In view of Senator
Bailey's declination of the permanent
chairmanship It Is probable that the tem
porary organization may be continued for a
day. The present prospect la that tomor
row's session will net be of more than an
hour's duration.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July . (Special.) Today the
City Board Of Equalization placed the valu
ation of the Nebraska Telephone company
plant In Lincoln at 1300,000, thereby refus
ing the request of the concern that Its
property here be listed at $152,000. The
city authorities took the real estate and
other property at Its actual value, 1187,000,
and added to it the gross receipts as the
value of the franchise, while the company
claimed that Its estimate of $162,000 repre
sented the total value. According to Its
calculations the difference betwaen Its
total and the franchise as shown by the
gross receipts represented the actual value
of the real estate.
The telephone people will appesj to the
district court from the finding of the
board. The points raised Involve not only
the value of the real estate, but also the
constitutionality of the section of the new
revenue law providing for the taxation ot
gross receipts of express, telephone and
telegraph companies as franchise values.
It Is claimed that the provision of the law
for the taxation of gross receipts im
poses double taxation within the Inhibi
tion of section I, article I of the state con
stitution. The company claims that the
value of the tangible property- holdings
as found by the board Is intermingled
with the franchise values.
Nnekolls County Increase.
The returns of Nuckolls county valua
tions to the State Board of Equalization
shows an Increase of 68.9 per cent over
the figures for last year. The total is 13.
802,964. as compared with $2,206,971.98 In 1903.
The average value of real estate, including
lands cultivated and those not titled, is $i.04
this year, as compared with an average of
$3.02 In 1903. The average value of tilled
land this year Is $5.23. Last year it was
$3.07. The total personal property listed Is
assessed at $1,583,463.
- The assessors discovered 1,011,339 bushels
of corn, which Is assessed at 6.4 cents per
bushel, 800 bushels of potatoes are down,
at an average of 19 cents, whllo Ave bushel)
Of fruit was found and assessed at 80 cents.
The sobriety of the people of" the county
Is shown by the fact that not a single keg
of beer or gallon of wine Is listed. 'Poultry
to the number of 94,431 of all species was
discovered and listed at an average of
4.4 cents.
According to the returns $3,373 represents
the capital of grain men. Judgments and
allowances of courts to the nmount.of $73
are reported. Notes secured by mortgages
amounting to $27,846 are listed for taxation,
while someone confessed the ownership of
$181 worth of bonds.
Horses this year to the number of 9,326
were listed at $10.41 a head, compared with
8,289 lat year at $10.21 a head. The as
sessed value of cattle In 1903 was $5.66; this
year it Is $3.82. The number has decreased
from 149.228 to 117,933. '
Mast Tax Gross Credits.
Deputy County Attorney Tyrrell handed
down an opinion to County Assessor Mil er,
holding that all credits are taxable and also
that no deductions can be made from
credits for debts, as held by the State
Board of .Equalization an the strength of
an opinion by Commissioner Duffle, which
was never formally acted on by the su
preme court. The county board will prob
ably adopt the opinion as (he basis of ac
tion. This will almost certainly give rise
to litigation to test the question In the
supreme court.
The county attorney . takes the ground
that section II of the revenue law in
cludes every species of tangible and in
tangible property. All debts due are held
to be credits. In discussing the Duffle opin
ion he says:
It seems to me clear that in the light of
the decisions of oiir own state as hereto
fore cited, when the question was squarely
presented, the plain provisions of the law
of thin state require that all property
shall be taxable, unless expressly exempted
t herefrom. That ail deb.ts due are credits
and are taxable. 1 am unable to See why
uny distinction snouid oe. made Detween
different classes of borrowers. All should
be treated alike. If the debt owing by oij
diss of citizens Is not subtracted from
their tangible property, .then no Other
class of citizens should be so favored. It
Is true that this law may result In some
double taxation, but so does the taxing
of real property at Its full value so result,
whese the property Is mortgaged, and the
mortgage held by a citizen of this state.
Vet it could not be claimed that a per
son who borrows money to loan again upon
real estate r other security should have
his indebtedness deducted, when the per
son who borrows the money to buy real
estate Is not so favored.
It Is further my opinion that all credits
are property and that all property Is tax
able. There Is nothing lnthe statute
about net credits and the discussion of
Jhat question only ends in confusion.

CODT 19 HELD TO DISTRICT COtTRT
Sosae Sensational Developments Ei
peeted on Final Trial.
TECUMSEH, Neb., June 6.-(Speclal Tele
gram.) The preliminary hearing In the
case of the State against A. 8. Cody closed
In the county court here this afternoon
after occupying the attention of that body
for a day and a half. Cody was bound
over for trial In the district court, bond
being placed at $2,000. It has not as yet
been furnished and the man Is in the cus
tody of the sheriff. Cody is the man who
came to Tecumseh last Friday and en
deavored to realize cash on some papers
that were taken from the Chamberlain
bank here at the time the cashier, Charles
M. Chamberlain, disappeared and the In
stitution failed. He had five shares of $100
each of stock in the Tecumseh Milling
company and a mortgage note for $2,250
sgalnst the Ben Miller livery barn here.
He was charged with having stolen prop
erty In his possession and In his defense he
states he bought them from Chamberlain
In Birmingham, Ala., two months ago, and
Is an Innocent purchaser.
Cody also had letters on his person which
had been written bypromlnent Tecumseh
parties to Chamberlain since he departed
and had Been delivered him through an at
torney. The reading of these In the court
elicited considerable ''surprise. Other let
ters which Indicated Cody has been In close
touch with the ab'candlng cashier are In
the hands of the court, having been taken
from Cody on a search warrant. A note of
warning, which was o doubt sent by
Chamberlain, was written on a plain piece
of paper with, a typewriter. It was not
dated nor signed, but It cautioned Cody to
lay low with the p1njers, to dispose of
them, but not to deliver them to any one
until the cash was forthcoming and when
sold to "take to the mber."
The preliminary hearing was long drawn
out and numerous ''witnesses were ex
amined, one or two In which it was pro
posed to make a showing that Cody had
visited Mrs. Chamberlain, wife of the
cashier, since he came to Tecumseh, and
others to prove that Cody was here and In
consultation with Chamberlain a short
time before the bank failed. The prosecu
tion wae conducted by County Attorney J.
C. Moore, assisted by G. A. Adams of Lin
coln and Hugh LaMaster of Tecumseh. The
defense was looked after by E. M. Tracy of
this city.
At the hotel here Cody reelstered as A.
Staples. The feeling against the men here
Is that he Is associated with Chamberlain
and It la not altogether unlikely that some
startling developments will result from his
apprehension. Cody's home Is at Midland,
Mich. He Is a nice appearing man.
