A Washington dispatch says Dem ocratic senators and representatives who attended the Jackson day ban quet in Baltimore were discussing with unusiul interest Thursday th > significance of a warning note which came from former Representat! vu Theodore Hell, of California, recog nized as the representative of W'l- liam Jennings Hryan. Mr. Hell did not attempt to start a Hryan boom; in fact, he eliminated the Nebraskan from any further con sideration as the Democratic nomi nee either in 1912 or any succeeding presidential year. "Fate undoubtedly has decreed," he eaid, "that Mr. Bryan shall not be nominated a fourth time and that he shall never he elected president of the United States." Hut Mr. Hell warned hla hearers that if they were seeking a harmony which might bring al>out future Democratic success, they must not continue a policy' which omitted Mr. Hryan from consideration as a lead er in the party councils. Mr. Hell declared that the affections of mil lions still were centered on Hryan and that hi; views must be given the most serious considerar on. Previous to his references to Mr. Hryan, Mr Hell had taken oi' sion to jray a high tribute to Champ Clark as a man in whom the middle and the far west had implicit confidence He did not go so far as to name Mr. 1 H’ark for i he presidency, but by ■ ir:fercnce ids n '-anin.’ was clear an 1 t bero are man> presidvnt 1 i • w it h- • "•s in Washington who n-gard th • incident as t e lining up of the Hrvan I • lemi’iit in the party id Mr , ('lark against (iovernor Harmon.

C., have been remand ed to jail, at Jackson, to await re moval to the jurisdiction oT the United States court for the western district of North Carolina—all of which, says the Columbia Record, is interesting to a number of Colum bians, several blocks to Albemarle stock having been placed in this city by a plausible young man, giving his name as H.

The Record says it was in fact a former Columbian, now manager of a news bureau in the Southwest, .inn a firm of Columbia photographers, that first suspected the promoters of the Albemarle concern of fraud.
