King Edward Opens World's Cham
pionship Games, but Rain Interferes
With Ceremony Society Fills Sec
tlon Around Royal Box.
Rain interfered with the opening of
the Olympic games by King Edward at
the Stadium, at Shepherd's Bush, nnd
although it cleared off before the hour
Bet for the formal ceremony, the at
tendance fell short of expectations.
The seating capacity of the Stadium
is upwardB of 70,000, and while the
covered stands contained sections
which were well filled, thero were
many vacant spaces, In fact, if it had
not been for the American and colo
nial contingents, which were there to
cheer their respective countrymen,
and the sections around the royal box,
which were occupied by society, It
would have been a very small affair so
far as attendance was concerned.
In some of the events, the contest
ants appeared affected by the adverse
weather conditions, but in other
events, particularly the 1,600 meter
race, in which the greatest Interest
centered, the men were up to their
form nnd twice the record for the dis
tance was smashed. Melvln W. Shep
pard of the Irish-American Athletic
club of New York was the first to ac
complish the trick, when, In the sec
ond heat, pressed hard by his team
mate, J. P. Halstead of the New York
Athletic club, he rati the distance in
the splendid time of 4:05, just 2-5 of
a second faster than that made by J.
D. Lightbody of the University of Chi
cago at the Olympic games at St.
Louis in 11104
tip iwfi AnKTiPAns in this lipnt i
beat a number of good men, Including

1 champion, who finished a bad third. ,
' J. P. Sullivan Of the lrlsh-Amerlcan '
Athletic club and Lightbody, who
were Hrst and second respectively In ,
the iirst heat of this event, took longer .
' to cover the distance, but they were
not pressed and doubtless could have ,
done better If It had been uecessary.

of a pump. This had the effect of
changing the prisoner's mind, and
since then he has eaten unassisted

COMMITTEE TO VISIT BRYAN
Will Discuss Campaign With Demo
cratlc Nominee.
Lincoln, July 13. The following
telegram was recolvod by W. J. Bry
an at Pulrview from Editor Herman
Kidder. "You may rely on the sin
cere and earnest support of the Now
York Staats Zeltung."
Although Mr. Bryan made no com
ment, his pleasure was evident In tho
buoynnt tone in which he read tho
Matement,
It was Mr. Kidder who, beiore tho
Denver convention, called here with
the announced Intention of asking Mr.
Biyan to withdraw from the flold on
the grounds, in Mr. Kidder's opinion,
that Mr. Bryan could not win in No
vember. Lincoln Democrats declaro
that Mr. Kidder did not press this
point, however, upon visiting Pair
view. He departed from Lincoln in a
happy frame of mind, with Mr. Bry
an's "O K" on his free wood pulp
plank,
Dr. P. L. Hall, Nebraska's new
member of the national committee,
discussed with Mr. Bryan arrange
ments for Mr. Bryan's meeting wjth
Ihe committee tomorrow. The quali
fications of a number of men for tho
position of chairman of the committee
were talked over Informally.
Later Dr. Hall said jhe thought It
safe lo say the new chairman would
he one ot the following: D. J. Cam
pan of Michigan, J. E. Lamb of Indi
ana, Ollle James of Kentucky and J.
II. Atwood of Kansas.
Among Mr. Bryan's supporters

with Johnson's name on it to Mr. Bry
an, thu latter declaring thnt It should
have a conspicuous place among tho
trophies of Falrview.

DAHLMAN IN THE LIMELIGHT
Omaha Mayor Mentioned for Chair
man of National Committee.
Omaha, July 13. The Dahlman De
mocracy, nearly GOO strong, arrived
home from Denver. They were "all
shot to pieces," as Tom O'Connor put
it, but their happlneBs was the over
shadowing feature of their home-coming.
Not a man among them that wait
not glad he had taken the trip, and
O'Connor declares they were tho
whole show In Denver. AH the para
phernalia used to decotate the Ne
braska headquarters at 'Denver wasj
captured by the Dahlmanltes and
btought hack to Omalia.
That Dahlman lb being seriously
considered for chairman of the Demo
cratic national committee is conced
ed. George Rogers, a Douglas county
man, who was a district delegate, says
Dahlman could he nominated hands
down lor governor now, but he will
fgiego that pleasure In the event of
his being made chairman of the na
tional committee. The vacancy 'will
be filled tomorrow, when the members
of the new national committee meet
Mr. Bryan at Falrview, and there Is.
only one serious opponent of Dahl
man, and he has not been named. I
Continuous reports received from
Denver of the popularity of the Oma
ha mayor were In nowise exaggerated,
according to members of the club.
They say he was sought by everybody
and was pointed out every time he
appeared In a crowd. He is very pop.
ulur with members of the new com-mitN-e
and is an admitted organizer.
Dahlman and Ignatius J. Dunn,
who nominated Mr- Bryan, arrived In
Lincoln this morning, where they will
visit Falrview. Dunn was much
photographed and much cartooned
while in Denver, nnd several papers
printed photogrnphs taken while be
was in the attitude of making a
climax In his nominating speech. -
