Northwestern Roadi Calling; la Equip

NEW YORK. July 12.-Lt week's se
curity market gavn a clear reflection of
the determination arrived at by an exces
sive number of stock market participants
to throw off the waiting attitude main
tained for some time and to act on their
conviction that butter things were In pros
pect for business snd Industry. In con
trast with the absolute stagnation Into
which the market had fallen by the close
of the preceding wiek, there sprang up a
degree of animation not equalled before
since the early period f June, the average
dally transactions rising well over half
a million shares. There was expansion
slao In the bond divisions and a broadening
if demand In that department which was
most encouraging to sentiment. The as
surance of abundant suppl es of banking le-
ource. throughout the year, the promise
of crop yields above the avetage for te
cent years and the approaching termina
tion of the session, of the democratic na
tional convention were the main factors In
stimulating the new speculative drpartute.
Tue spirit of uncertainty and the conse
quent halt In business activity have be
lon.e so much a matter of course In years
of national .olltlcal campaigns that prog
ress towards eliminating the uncertainties
iTa cf recognised beneficial elfect. The
liHinlrg cf the cand dates of the two great
iflitfcjl parties and the defining of the
In u s on which the campaign Is to be
lought were accepted as steps towards

of the outcome snd were acted upon in
thli light.
The p ling up of loanable funds In bank
ing reserves snd the resulting pressure to
fmd profitable employment for these mme
have sn almost Inialllble effect In opening
up a demand for well secured bonds and

TOKIO, July 12. The news of the action
f the democratic convention at Denver,
Including in Its platform a plank favoring
the exclusion from the United States of
Aslatlo laborers, Is taken here to be di
rected against Japanese and la causing con
siderable surprise and displeasure. In
some quarters Indignation la expressed and
the declaration Is made that such a clause
is an Infringement on the treaty lights of
Japan and opposed to the principle of
humanity that should govern the relations
of nation. It la generally believed, how
ever, by those, familiar with political con
ditions In America that the majority of
democrats are not an U-Japanese In senti
ment and that the exclusion clause was
Incorporated in the platform for the pur
pose of satisfying the labor element.

TRANSFER POINT FOR LUMBER
Northern Per I He Plea nine: to Estab
lish One at nilllnars,
Montana.
TACOMA. Wash., July 12 (SpeclaU
The Northern Pacific railroad Is planning
to establish a transfer point at Billings.
Mont., similar to the Minnesota transfer be
tween, eapolls snd St. Paul. It will
be ehlef; ed for the transfer of lumber
and hr-xp yid will result In a Mg saving
on h.uli, the markets of Iowa, Ne
braska, f "J and Missouri.
At BUM, be lumber shipment! for
points on Ujt ilngton road will be trans
ferred. Elthc s will be transferred and
sent through '2 e markets or the lumber
will be unlof, n held until time to
place on the rr. . Many manufacturers
oppose the est. nent of the new trans
fer, claiming t. ) will result In still
further speculation In lumber and shingles.
The speculators operating at the, Minnesota
transfer are much under a cloud with bicil
lumbermen, who cjnlm that the speculators
buy when the price Is down and then hold
the lumber until the price goes up. They
dump such large quantities of lumber and
shlnglea on the market that the price Is
beaten down again. There are some lumber
men, however, mho say this has Its ad
vantage as It keeps their mills running
when the price Is low and the demand Is
light, for the speculators stock up at that
time.
The Northern Pacific Is making a thor
ough canvass of the lumbermen and Henry
Blakeley, general western freight agent of
the Northern Pacific, says that a majority
of the lumbermen want the new transfer
point. The new plan will tako considerable
business away from the Minnesota transfer,
but will save time and money for shipments
Into the Missouri river states.
BROTHER CHARLIE BACK HOME
Adds to His Vocabulary Through
Aseoclntlon with Mayor Jim.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, July 12.-Speclal.)-Brother
Charlie Bryan came in this afternoon,
happy and confident from his triumphs at
Denver, with the congratulations of Tam
maqy ringing In his ears. Tammany said
the steam roller at Denver was the best
machine ever constructed and never In the
history of Tammany had any of the braves
seen anything like It. Brother Charlie told
about It himself, though he didn't use the
commonplace term "machine." Mayor Jim
and Brother Charlie ware close together at
Denver all the time and as a result the lat
ter has some new expressions which he
never used befoe. For Instance, he said. In
discussing the work of the Bryan steam
roller:
"We dealt the cards out on the table face
up. and everything was open and above
board ?"
"The delegates leaving Denver carried
with them no sore spots." said Mr. Bryan,
"not even the contestsnts who lost out. A
portion of the Minnesota delegation came
here with me and stopped off to assure Mr.
Bryan that they Intended to work for the
success of the ticket."
It is understood neither John Mitchell nor
Samuel Oompers will take any active part
In the campaign, though Brother Charlie
said each was satisfied with the platform

IllTCnCOCTS RAPID RISE
His Appointment a Triumph for
Young- Man in Politics.
HAS GENIUS FOR THE BIO GAME
.New .National Chairman's Ability Wsi
Discovered by George D. Cortel
yon In Roosevelt Campaign
Poor Years Ago.
(From a Etaff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, July 12.-(Speclal.) The
selection of Frank Harris Hitchcock ss
chairman of the national republican com
mittee gives most general satisfaction at
the national capital. His selection, un
doubtedly made upon the suggestion of
the republican nominee for the presi
dency, William Howard Taft, Is a triumph
for the young man In politics. I.Ike tho
republican national convention, which was
largely made up of men who, but a score
of years ago, were casting their first votes,
the campaign of 1P08 will largely center
around comparatively young men of whom
Frank Hitchcock Is one of the best ex
amples. Hitchcock, although Just turned
forty, has accomplished much since he
arrived at legal age. Born In Ohio In
1KS7, his early education was obtained In
Boston where he fitted himself to enter
Harvard, from which he graduated in
Kil. He graduated from the Columbian
University law school In 18M, the Institu
tion which has since changed Its name
to George Washington University. He was
admitted to the bar In the District of
Columbia the year of his graduation and
three years later was admitted to prac
tice In the supreme court of the United
States.
Hitchcock cstne to this voteless com
munity Immediately after his graduation
from Harvard, taking a position In the
Agricultural department, where It was his
business to tell an expectant public Just
how many bushels of wheat or corn had
been shipped to foreign marts, how many
hogs had died In transit and Incorporate
In statistical reports a lot of other In
formation valuable to persons In trade,
but e-ctremely tiresome to the average read
er. Destiny, however, had picked out for
Hitchcock a different career from that of
a government statistician, which seemed to
bo his calibre when In Wilson's Farm do
partment. As Cortelyon'a Assistant.
Four years ago when nls distinguished
predecessor, George Bruce Cortelyou,
wanted a man for assistant secretary at
the New Tork headquarters Hitchcock was
selected and the current of his life was
changed. The new national chairman
early developed a genius for politics having
been a good deal of a politician In his early
days at Harvard. While with Cortelyou he
showed ability of the first order. He was
a hard worker, full of Initiative, chock full
of ideas, an unremitting toller; he had a
gift for organization, was splendidly
equipped for administration; a card-Index
man. In a sense, but his Index stands for
system, thoroughness and perse'rverlng In
dustry absolutely essential factors for the
great game ho Is to play for his chief dur
Ing the next four months.
Frank Hitchcock was comparatively un
known four years ago. Today he Is at the
head of the party organization occupying
the place formerly filled by such masters
of political sagacity as Matthew 8. Quay,
Mark Hanna and Henry C. Payne, leaders
who will be remembered as long as the re
publican party endures.
Frank Hitchcock represents In the best
sense of the term "addition, division and
silence." He adds and he divides but al
ways keeping a silent tongue and the prac
tlcally unknown of four years ago is now
called the "Steam Roller Man" of Chicago.
There Is no country outside the I'nited
States In the world In which a man could
attain to such heights In as short a time
and with his comparative youth as has
Frank Hitchcock. In appearance Frank
Frank Hitchcock has the manner of a
student. He is youngish-looking with light
hair Inclined to redness, steely blue eyes, a
well set up figure showing power in repose
and before he went to work for Uncle Sam
was fond of sports, enjoying at Harvard
the distinction of being the champion
heavyweight boxer of that Institution. His
selection as chairman of the national com
mittee. It Is confidently believed, will show
Judge Taft's far-sighted wisdom.
Vacation for Horses.
The horses which draw the mall wagons
of Wabhlngton over the hot asphalt streets
of the capital are to be given each a thirty
days' leave of absence Ji-st tho same a
the clerks of tho departments. This Is a
new departure and tho first certificate
gtanting "leave of absence" for a horse
was signed up yetterday by Chief Clerk
Conrad of the Fostofflce department. This
leave was drawn up upon the uaual blank
form used by a clerk when applying for
hl leave. The horse didn't wrUe It out,
but he will know the effect of It In a few
days. This horse, the first to be gran'.ed a
regulation leave of absence for vacation
purposes. Is a big bay gelding, a pet of the
stablemen, and his name Is "Charlie." As
Charlie could not write Ills name lo his
application for leave the stable boss put
the application under his right forefoot In
such manner that a mark of a portion of
the horse's shoe was Impr-ssed on the paper
and then he signed his name uttestlng thai
to be Charlie's mark. Charlie will take his
vacation on a large rarm over In "Old
Virginia" and for thirty days will have
nothing to do but eat and frolic In the
extensive fields. He will not even have to
worry about his board bill, as his Uncle
Sam will attend to that portion of th.j
outing. Other horses of the depart mem
will be similarly furloughed for rest and
recreation during the summer as rapidly
ss they can be spared, and that will be at
a pretty rapid pace as the summer dullness
which Is now upon Washington Includes
man and beast.
Democratic Purity.
Political purity, which Is to be the battle
cry of the democrats In the coming cam
paign, mill have a decided Jolt when the
records are pulled upon that party. Poltl
cal purity, so far as democracy la con
cerned, has Its limitations, as will be shown
in the next four months by tables pre
pared by the republican national committee.
In point of fact, the democrats have the
largest amount of nerve when they claim
that their party Is the only pure party of
the republic. Taking the states of Ala
bama, Arkansas, Florida. Georgia, Louis
iana. Mississippi. Sou t; i Carolina and Texas,
in the last congressional election there were
polled 438.704 votes. These votes elected
sixty-eight members of congress. On the
other hand, one state Iowa polled ,103
votes and elected eleven members of cor
gress. Not a district In Iowa polled less
votes than the states of Florida, Georgia,
Mississippi, or South Carolina. Alabama,
Arkansas and Texas are the three states
In the above list which polled more votes

STATE MEETING AT MITCHELL
Congressional SneeeMlnn Draws Lartte
Crowd to Kormnl esaian of
Republicans.
MITCHELL, B: D., July 12.-(Ppecial.)-Governor
Crawford and Lieutenant Gov
ernor Shober were the first to get to Mitch
ell for the republican stste convention,
which meets In this city next Tuesday.
Both slate officers came to town late In
the evening. Many of the other leaders
reached the city Sunday afternoon and
morning.
The supposition ws that Mitchell would
have the big convention of the year, but
mat was before the primary law was un
derstood, for many had the Idea that tho
July convention would have something to
do with the nomination of a state ticket.
As the primary law became more fully
understood it was St once recognized that
the duties of the July convention would be
more or less perfunctory merely to en
dorse the nominations made in the July pri
mary. Hut for the fact that Colonel Parker died
a short time ago and left a vacancy to be
filled In congress It Is doubtful if a full
representation of nU the counties would be
here. That action will be taken at this con
vention looking to the filling of the va
cancy there I. no question. Under the pres
ent circumstances the Indications point very
strongly to the fact that E. W. Martin will
receive the endorsement of the repub
licans. He hails from the western portion
of the state, where Colonel Parker resided,
and on that ground alone he is entitled to
the recognition. But It 1. on other and more
Important grounds that Mr. Martin will
doubtless be chosen that of harmony be
tween the two factions. It seems to be
a pretty well settled opinion that If the In
surgents yield to the endorsement of Mr.
Martin there will be less likelihood of any
trouble at the November election, and It
Is believed that the Insurgents can well af
ford to make the concession.
The friends of Wilbur S. Glass. It Is re
ported, are not to be mollified so easily.
The rumor Is gaining ground from his
friends' territory that Mr. Glass should bo
permitted to fill out the remainder of the
Parker term In congress, notwithstanding;
the fact that he was defeated at the June
primary. That portion of the insurgents
beHevcs that to the victor beljr.gs the spoil.,
but It Is not conceded to be the consensus
of opinion of the reol leaders In the In
surgent wing. They realize that the stal
warts must be recokoned with In the suc
cess of the party In November, and that too
great a defection from the ranks might de
feat the success at the primary. There Is
no threatened revolt among the stalwarts,
but they are waiting for the Insurgents to
make the move which will tend to cement
the factions at the polls in November.
The Insurgents will control the convention
by a sufficiently large working majority as
to carry out any proposition they desire, if
they stand together.
The three additional planks to the plat
form are practically agreed upon In the
state interest fund being adjusted so that
the treasurer will be required to turn the
Interest Into the treasury, the physical val
uation of railroads and the guaranteeing of
state bank deposits. These planks will un
doubtedly be inserted re the platform.
The convention w called to order at
noon Tuesday and It will be held In the
city hall, which is being handsomely decor
a ted.

BLUSMXCDAIILMANS RETURN
Jims Back from Denrer Confess They
Were the Firecrackers.
SAY JIM IS TO BE CHAIRMAN
Could Be Governor, but Prefers to
Help Bryan net Presidency hy
Accepting- Head of Na
tional Committee.
Tired, sleepy and hoarse but huppy and
(hock full of enthusiasm, the Dahlman
dimocracy retuined Sunday morning from
Denver. The train of five coaches ru led
:n ut 7:3", but every Jim went horns and
to bed and the first one to show his face
was Tom O'Connor, secretary of tho cl'.ib.
end he did not come to l!fe until evening.
George Rogers, one of the delegates, and
a few others were seen during the evening,
but most of the Dahlman boosters remairei
at h. me to rest up from their weik's if fort.
"Wo had the biggest time that ever was;
just like having loo c rcuses all rolUd Into
cne, a fcrand Fourth of July celebration
Irotn beginning to end In which the Dahl
man democracy was the cannon fire
cracker," said T. J. O'Connor, sneaking In
such a low, hoarse whisper that he could
r.utdly be heard.
"We wtre the people out at Denver and
wo were respected as such, and don't you
f.rgft It. The Jacks were simply nil. and
the Jims were the whole thing. If six; ecu
Jacks lift on the train for Denver not
more than six showed up, and Ed Herry
man and Bob Aitchlson were the only ones
who had the nerve to wear their badges.
They had no more tickets than a bunny
rabbit and they ciawled on their kr.ees with
tears In their eyes to us begging for tick
ets. We magnanimously let nil the Jacks
In to the convention hail.
"Before the convention opened It became
nolSvd about that a Dahlman badge would
be equivalent to an admission ticket, ar.d
we could have sold a thousand badges if
we had hsd them. And it was true, too, that
the Jim badges would admit the wearer,
as we already had two doorkeepers and
appointed a third, R, U. Woife, after we
gut there.
Rowden Got His,
"Dave Rowden surely soured his milk.
We saw Dave at Colorado Springs, but the
word was passed along the line to 'cut'
him, and we all passed him by with a
stony stare and not a man spoke to the
head Janitor.
"The feature of the convention was the
purado of the Dahlman democracy, and it
oveishadowed the Cook County Marching
club and the Tammany parades by far.
We had over W0 men In line and the line
was four blocks long. We carried our
umbrellas and cut a great swath.
" 'Where Is this Dahlman town?' people
asked on every side, and the mayor was
the lion of the hour. He was constantly
being pointed out and people looked at
him with awe and admiration. . There is
no getting around the fact that Dahlman
wa3 tbe big noiso at Denver and everyone
at the convention learned that the mayor
of Omaha Is a candidate for' governor of
Nebraska."
Delegate George Rogers came In on the
Jim special with the Information that the
mayor will In all probability accept the
chairmanship of the national committee.
Saye Dahlman Will Be Chairman.
"The mayor could be nominated for gov
ernor hands down, but It looks as If he
would take the chairmanship, as Ip that
capacity he could doubtless be of more
benefit to the party," said Mr. Rogers.
"We hod a big time at the convention
and all along the route, receptions being
given us at a number of points. North
Platto outdid Itself In cheering the Daiil
man democracy and we were forced to be
lieve that we were somebody. L J. liattl
was our orator, and If you think I am
hoorse, Just talk to him. Every time he
turned around hS had a new speech to de
liver, and he spoke at every town where
the train stopped.
"All the paraphernalia used to decorate
the Nebraska headquarters In tho Brown
Palace hotel In Denver was captured by
our club and will be Installed In our club
rooms.
"If anyone thinks that Jim Dahlman Is
not a popular man he ought to take a trip
like the ono we took, and he would be
disillusioned mighty quick. You have no
Idea how tho people would tumble over
themselves Just to get a look at him, and
he certainly had as much to say about the
convention as anyone there."
Mr. Dahlman was to leave Denver Sun
day evening for Lincoln, where the na
tional committee has a conference tomor
row with Mr. Bryan. Ig. Dunn, the Jack
who wore a Jim badge when ho made
the nominating speech, was also to leave
on the same train last evening. The mayor
at last reports had not decided whether to
take the chairmanship of the national com
