SPR Tn Chauncey Depew’s Ford Story. If Harry Keller, the only Brum- baugh Alternate-at-Large in the Re- publican National convention, had very little to do while there he stored up and brought back with him the fol- ~ lowing story: During the session of the conven- tion on Thursday when there was con- siderable speech making and lots of fellows talked just to kill time there were calls for that venerable states- man, Chauncey F. Depew, of New York. Though past eighty years of age Mr. Depew responded and talked with all the fervor and vigor of his younger days when telling an after- dinner story, his voice carrying to the uttermost corners of the colosseum. In prefacing his remarks he said: “Years ago Socrates was consider- ed a great philosopher, wise states- man and able politician, and he told me one time that to be a success in business as well as politics a man should never make a speech—unless he had it well prepared beforehand; and should never tell a funny story. And,” he added, “I have been doing just the reverse all my life.” “Now as to this much mooted ques- tion of preparedness. It is all well enough to say that after this awful ' cataclysm of war and destruction in Europe is over a small army, amply equipped with machine guns, will be all we will need to defend our country against any invasion, but it might not prove so.” “Then on the other hand, take my good friend sitting down there in front, William Jennings Bryan, who says that a million men could be en- listed in a few days, and equipped with Ford automobiles they would soon drive the enemy into the sea.” “Now I have nothing against the Ford machine, but it always puts me in mind of a bathtub. = Everybody would like to have one, but there isn’t anybody wants to be seen in them.” ——The families of John Porter Lyon and Charles F. Mensch opened their camps on Fishing creek yester- day, but it was a rather damp open- ing. Russians Take Village Near Czerno- witz. Petrograd, June 14.—in their ad- vance upon Czernowitz, capital of Bukowina, the Russians have occupied Sniatn village, 20 miles northwest of the city, the War Office announced to- ay. In addition to their previous -cap- tures the Russians have taken 20 offi- cers, 6,000 men, 6 guns and 10 ma- chine guns. The statement follows: Along the whole front from the southward of Polesia to the Rumanian frontier our troops. continue to: drive back the enemy. During yesterday 20 officers and about 6,000 men were tak- en prisoner. We have taken six can- non, 10 machine guns and many artil- lery and ammunition wagons. The total of prisoners and trophies captur- ed during the operations amount to nearly 120,000 men, 1,780 officers, 130 cannon and 260 machine guns. Reports which have been received say the enemy abandoned at certain points quantities of various war ma- “terials of such bulk as to make it im- possible to give an exact description at such short notice; as an instance, we found abandoned sufficient rails for field railways to cover 30 versts (about 20 miles.) : Swat the Fly Early. Much discussion has made us familiar ‘with the work of the common housefly. A few years ago there were questions sent out in all the principal cities of this and other countries which put the matter before us quite clearly. Here is the list, with a few slight changes: Where is the fly born? In manure and filth. Where does the fly live? In every kind of filth. Is there anything too filthy for the fly to eat? No. Where does he go when he leaves the vault and the manure pile and the spit- toon? Into the kitchen and dining-room. What does he do there? He walks on the bread, fruit, and vegetables; he sticks in the butter; he swims in the milk. Does he visit the patient sick with con- sumption, typhoid fever, and cholera in- fantum? He does, and may call on you next. Is the fly dangerous? He is man’s worst pest, and more dangerous than wild beasts. What disease does the fly carry? He carries typhoid fever, tuberculosis, and summer complaint. How? On his wings and hairy t. What is his correct name? Typhoid fly. Did he ever kill anyone? He killed more American soldiers in the Spanish- American War than all the bullets of the Spaniards. Where are there the most cases of these diseases? Where there are the most flies. Where there is the most filth. Why should we kill the fly? Because he may kill us. How should we kill the fly? Destroy all the filth about the house and yard that we can; pour lime on the rest; kill him with a wire screen paddle or sticky paper or kerosene oil. i Kill the fly in any way, but kill the y. The mosquito is closely allied with the fly. His favorite breeding place is stag- nant water; an uncovered rain-barrel is all he wants to grow and thrive. Against It.

President Wilson’s Plank Practically Charges Conspiracy on the Part of Certain Citizens. St. Louis, June 14.—President Wil- son’s plank on Americanism, for the Democratic = platform, practically charging a conspiracy by some for- eign born citizens to influence foreign and internal affairs for the benefit of other governments and condemning any organization countenancing such movements as well as any political party, which, by failure to repudiate such a conspiracy, receives the bene- fit of it at the ballot box, was tele- graphed here tonight from Washing- ton and placed before Democratic leaders. As the resolutions committee which will draft the platform and pass the plan was engaged at a late hour tonight in continuing public hearings of persons urging various declarations in the platform, the plank which has the President’s approval and which promises to be the sensation of the Democratic platform, was not formal- ly considered and probably will not be until tomorrow, when the sub-com- mittee which makes the final draft of the platform has its meeting. This plank would be followed by a declaration to make it clear that it is in one way to be taken as a reflec- tion upon the great body of natural- ized citizens, irrespective of their race or origin. Representative Rainey, of Illinois, who is leading the administration fight in the house for the tariff com- mission bill, will draw the tariff law, it is planned to declare for a protect- ive tariff for the dyestuff industry for a period of probably five years. COMMITTEES AT WORK. St. Louis, June 14.—If more than one speech seconding each nomina- tion for vice president is made in the Democratic convention, they will all but the first be limited to five min- utes by a rule adopted tonight by a sub-committee on rules. W. A. Glasgow, Jr., of Pennsylva- nia, was chosen chairman of the com- mittee. The question of changing the rule requiring the votes of two-thirds of the delegates to make a nomina- tion was not raised at any meeting today. In previous conventions, min- ority has demanded a change so that a majority would not do. The rules of the house of repre- sentatives were adopted to govern the convention. The permanent organization com- mittee failed to establish a quorum tonight and will meet tomorrow to organize. Senator James, of Ken- tucky, will be made permanent chair- man. The credentials committee tonight disposed of all the delegates’ con- tests by ratifying the action of the national committee in overruling the contestants from the District of Co- lumbia and from Hawaii and by di- viding equally the six seats to which Porto Rico is entitled between the delegation seated by the national com- mittee and the contestants. BRYAN SPRINGS ONE. St. Louis, June 14.—While the reso- lutions committee was in session to- night, Samuel A. King, of Utah, rose and made this statement: “I called on William J. Bryan today and asked him if he would submit any planks. He replied: “ ‘I have no planks to offer but one, and that is the President’s. Deter- mine what he wants and his plank will be mine. I expect to go before the people in his behalf on your report.’ ” State Board Urges Prison Improve- ments. Harrisburg, June 14.—The State Board of Public Charities today dis- cussed with Governor Brumbaugh ways and means to have the insane now in county institutions cared for by the State in its insane hospitals and preliminary steps for the erec- tion of the new state hospital in|. southwestern Pennsylvania. Among the reports presented were many dealing with sanitary conditions in prisons and almshouses and it was stated that requests for better condi- tions were sent to Cameron county commissioners regarding the jail; Clinton county suggesting steps for a new prison; suggestions for changes at Lancaster, Huntingdon and Wil- liamsport jails and for improvements at Lackawanna and Clinton alms- houses and that the matter of a new almshouse was being taken up with York county.
