Lynchburg, Va., June SO. John W.
Daniel, senior senator from .Virginia
ami for more than thirty years Vlr
finis's favorite son, died at the Lynch'
burg sanatorium at 10:25 last night,
hit death being due to recurrence of
paralysis. The Immediate cause of
his death was a cerebral hemorrhage
sustained at noon yesterday In the
right portion of 'his brain, involving
the right side. This was in addition
to the paralysis of the left side,' which
was sustained last winter, while In
Florida for his health. '
The statesman's Illness began with
a slight attack of apoplexy In Phil
sdelphla lart October, this ' keeping
him from being In his seat at the
opening of congress last December.
Only once since that had he appeared
before an audience and that was for
sn Informal talk In January.
. Dissolution was very rapid, for when
the final and complete failure of heart
srtion began, It progressed with great
rapidity and In five minutes the pa.
tlent was dead.
Those present at the end were Mrs.
Daniel and daughter,. Mrs. Fred Har

Funeral Ar range-meats.
The funeral of Senator Daniel will
occur tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock from St. Paul's Episcopal
church. The obsequies will be aim
pie In character. The family decided
(gainst having a state funeral and
the body will not be taken to Rich-
mond to lie In state In the capltol
which had been offered by Governor
Mann tor that purpose. So Intense Is
the desire of ths family for simplicity
that there will be no public view of
ths body at the Daniel home.

Stick Out hfnJ
The talk In local Dolltlra today iwn.
iers aoout tne coming county demo.
crane convention Saturday when
about the only Important bualneaa to
come before the meeting Is the contest
Dei ween the friends of Judge W. R
Allen who is contesting with 3uArn J
S. Manning for the place which he
holds on the Supreme court bench of
onn Carolina. Both the Mannina-
ana Alien forces seem confident that
tnmgs are going to their satisfaction.
It is understood that the Allen forces
offered to compromise the matter with
tne leaders for Manning- bv allowing
Judge Manning nine of the 24 votes
which Buncombe has in the state con
vention. This the Manning lleuten
anta promptly rejected and, stated
that they would only consider a prop
osition to divide the county's vote
equally, giving Judge Allen 12 and
Judge Manning 12 votes. This it Is
said the Allen leadera would not hear
to, and now the fight, it seems, will go
to the convention. The Allen
leaders today declared that they were
going to have almost everything their
way and that Judge Manning would
not get more than four or five votes
from Buncombe in the state conven
Hon, giving Allen 19 or 20 votes On
the other hand those backing Judge
Manning were confident that Judge
Manning would get a good share of
the county's vote; In fact they place
their claims at 12 and perhaps more
votes for Manning.
The news from both Manning and
Allen headquarters seems to Indicate
that both candidates are running very
close. Both managers are claiming
the majority. It looks as If -only a
convention fight will settle It .
There has been little change in the
congressional situation today. Former
Congressman J. M. Oudger, Jr., today
declared that the latest returns show
ed that he would have four more votes
than necessary to nominate on the
first ballot while W. J. Cocke, the next
highest candidate, claims that Oudger
will not have a nomination on the
first ballot, lacking 30 or more votea.
Friends of Mr. Cocke Insist that he
has a good chance of nomination at
the hands of the convention July 12.

Colonel Roosevelt's statement, "I
have seen Governor Hughes," must
refer to their brief meeting at Cam
bridge. Both met for a short time,
their first meeting since Colonel
Roosevelt's return. . -Mr.
Grlscom received the telegram
late yesterday afternoon and made It
public, together with an 1 appended
statement explaining the proposed
amendments to the Cobb bill. The
bill is now before the judiciary com
mittee of the assembly. The amend-

the early afternoon charged by the railroads on freight
classes and commodities from eastern
points of origin. All of the reductions
ordet-ed by the commission affected
the rates from Mississippi river and
Missouri transfer points to Pacific
coast terminals and lnter-mountaln
territorial points. , .-
In the case of the city of Spokane
against the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern Railway companies and
other carriers, the commission held
that the present rotes' charged from
eastern points to Spokane are unrea
sonable and excessive. The rates es
tablished for the future are materially
and the volume of business was, on a
reduced scale, but the : undertone
continued heavy anj .hesitating.

Of these he says:
The secoiij amendment provldoa
that- voter 4.J ."Jew -York city chang
ing his residence after enrollment
shall lose his right to vote at the pri
mary election. The alleged removal
of an elector from one place to an
other within an electoral district has
been a fruitful source of fraud at pri
mary elections. The proposed amend
ment will, therefore, make for greater
honesty at primary elections and will
disfranchise a comparatively small
number of people who might (other
wise be legitimately entitled to vote.
Other amendments provide that
delegates to conventions and political
electors need not necessarily reside In
the district from which they are elect
ed. In the selection of delegates to
national and state convention It Is of
ten desirable to send delegates of
party prominence, such as Nicholas
Murray Butler, Senator Root, Beth

Bannard, Henry L. Stlmaon, etc., from
districts other than those in which
they reside, and the amendment Is In

some of the reductions being high as
33 1-3 per cent. The commission finds
that the existing rates are practically
without precedent or parallel. The
average rate per ton per mile on all
ten classes from Sacramento to Reno
is 9.16c, sn unprecedented figure. The
class rates between Sacramento and
Reno are reduced approximately 30
per cent, the rate on first class freight
being levered from S1.29 per 100
pounds to 85c a hundred pound a Sim
ilar reductions In the class rates are
made from Sacramento to other
points In Nevada and Utah.
In the case of the railroad com
mission of Nevada against the South
ern Pacific company and other car
riers, the commission condemns the
existing west bound class rates from
eastern points to Nevada. In this
connection the commission declares
these rates to be the "highest main
line rates found In the United States."
Astonishing facts were developed by
the commission at Its hearings con
cerning the earning character of
the Pacific lines. The commission
shows "that during the last two

Laiula Paid For,
Not the least uninteresting In con
nectlon with the developments is the
fact that the lands have been secured
and paid for. The materialization of
the plans, however, have been brought
nearer a reality by the generous offer
of John D. Rockefeller that he will
give 360,000 towards the construction
of the 3100,000 buildings and improve
ments in the grounds, provided the
friends of the association In all parts
of the south contribute a sum equal
to $50,000. Those behind the move
ment are happy Indeed that Mr. Rock
efeller should agree to give this and
beginning in October a simultaneous
campaign will be made In all the large
cities of the south to secure the bal
ance of the 350,000. The business
committee have guaranteed to raise
$10,000, while every college In the
south will be asked to bear a propor
tionate part. To obtain the Rocke
feller gift, the additional money must
be raised by May 1, 1911, or be se
cured by pledges.
The Athletic Grounds.
Included In the developments and
great athletic grounda on a plat about
3000 feet above sea level where there
la room for some three baseball dia
monds, numerous tennis courts, basket
ball courts, while a half mile track
will be an attraction. A hotel to ac
commodate some E00 guests, an audi
torlum, large dining room, gymna
slum, bowling alleys, etc., will be con
tructcd. A large lake is also Included
In the scheme of development where
boating 'and fishing will be provided.
