Harding Named for Governor
The Platform Declares For Taft In
1912 and Contains Many Progressive
Planks.
The Republican nominee for gov-
ernor of Ohio is Warren G. Harding,
of Marion, once lieutenant governor.
ty delegation to stampede the con-
vintion at Columbus for Nicholas
Longworth, and George B. Cox's every
effort in behalf of Judge O. B. Brown,
of Dayton, a combination of the “pro-
gressives” with the national adminis
tration men, broke up the fight on the
third ballot.
Then Cox, yielding to the inevitable,
cast the ninety-one Hamilton votes for
Harding, and that finished it.
The continuation of the roll call was
8 joke. The withdrawal of James R.
Garfield and Carmi A. Thompson be-
fore the beginning of the vote brought
about a Garfield-administration com-
bination that twenty-four hours before
would have seemed to the delegates
impossible. All the Garfield votes, out-
side the Cuyahoga delegation and a
few that clung to the undeveloped
candidacy of the former secretary of
the interior, were cast for Harding.
Walter Brown, of Toledo, and Wade
H. Ellis, state chairman, were influ-
ential in lining up the other delegates
for the Marion man. The understand-
ing that the president was not satis
filed by the candidacy of Judge Brown
did the rest.
The final vote was: Harding, 746;
Brown, 120, and Longworth, 195. Jo
seph B. Foraker and numerous other
recipients of surprise ballots, who had
divided the scattering vote, were re-
duced to five votes between them. The
nomination of the Marion editor was
made unanimous.
After the nomination of Speaker
Granville Mooney for secretary of
state, the nominee for governor spoke.
He declared his allegiance to the pres-
ident and announced his determination
to “give an honest administration if
elected.”
Lieutenant Governor Francis W.
Treadwell was renominated by accla-
mation.
For state treasurer, Rudy A. Archer,
of Belmont county, defeated Richard
Gilson, of Steubenville, by a vote of
628 to 438.
U. G. Denman, of Toledo, was nom-
inated for attorney general by accla-
mation.
The defeat of Cox and the unquali-
fled endorsement of the administration
are regarded as a signal victory for
Mr. Taft in his own state, and as
opening a more hopeful prospect of
beating Harmon, the Democratic gov-
ernor, who is conceded by the Repub-
licans to be a formidable opponent.
The following are the most import-
ant planks in the platform:
“Praises President Taft in unquali-
fled terms and endorses him for re
nomination in 1912.
Recounts the achievements of his
administration, which are declared to
be the most remarkable in the history
of national legislation. Among these
accomplishments are mentioned:
The successful prosecution of sugar
frauds.
Intervention to prevent increases in
railroad freights.
Enforcement of law against illegal
dealings in stocks.
Impartial enforcement of the anti
trust laws,
Economy in expenditures.
Withdrawal of public mineral lands
from private entry.
Defends the Payne tariff law as in
accordance with the Republican doc-
trine of protecting home industry, and
says the law has been unjustly as-
sailed.
Lauds the railroad law as another
signal achievement of Republican ad-
ministration.
Endorses the principle of conserva-
tion of natural resources and the ef-
forts of congress and the president
along this line.
Matches In Water Kill Woman.
After hours of the most intense
agony, Anna Stajaiber, agen twenty-
six years, of 214 Wilder street, Phila.
delphia, died from phosphorous poison-
ing in the Pennsylvania hospital. The
hospital authorities assert that they
do not know whether her case was a
suicide or not, but they say they be-
lieve she drank water in which match.
es had been soaked.
Heat Crazed Man Kills Child.
W. J. Carver, a newspaper man of
Washington, became suddenly insane
from the heat and, seizing his eleven-
months-old infant, he hurled it across
a room in his home, inflicting injuries
from which it died. Carver was over
powered by the police and taken to a
hospital.

Bottles Got Mixed and Nurse Gave In
fant Mother's Potion.
The reversal of the position of two
bottles of medicine resulted in the
death of a two-days-old infant, the
child of Mr. and Mrs. Christopher
Frank, 833 North Thirteenth street
Philadelphia.
A physician left two bottles of med-
icine, one for the baby, one for the
mother. They were placed on a table
near each other, to be differeneiated
by their position. In some way they
became mixed, and the nurse, Eliza
beth Detlessen, gave the baby a dose
of the mother’s medicine.
Mr. Frank impressed into service
an automobile which was standing
nearby and rushed the child to St. Jo
seph’s hospital, where it died.
Embezzled Over a Million.
Following an examination of the
books of August Ropke, the defaulting
assistant secretary of the Fidelity
Trust company, of Louisville, Ky. a
meeting of the company’s stockhelders
was held and it was reported to them
by experts that the entire surplus of
the company, $1,340,000, bad been used
in the peculations of Ropke.
Owing to the fact that there are
several millions of dallars behind the
institution, the Fidelity will not have
to close its doors, although the short-
age of Ropke is one of the largest
ever known in the south. The stock-
holders have ratified the order for the
issuance of new stock, and $1,000,000
has been put out by the company and
will be sold. It was issued at par value
and it is understood that every dollar
of it will be taken by the present
stockholders.
Ropke, who is in jail unable to fur
nish bonds of $25,000, is a German,
forty-five years old. He lived unosten-
tatiously, but began dabbling in stocks
and grain several years ago. He was
successful for a time, but the inevit-
able losses followed.
Mrs. Grice and Baby Found Alive.
Mrs. James Cleveland Grice, the
Sharpsburg, Md., girl-bride, and her
seven-weeks-old child, who were sup
posed by the authorities of Maryland
and Pennsylvania to have been mur
dered by the husband and father, are
both alive and well.
Mr. and Mrs. Grice are living to
gether in Blackwell City, Okla., hav-
ing taken up their residence about ten
days ago. The couple spent several
days in Washington before they went
west.
Baby Grice, who was said to have
been murdered by her father is coo
ing and kicking the covers off in a
neat little cot in the Sylvan Heights
Home for Orphans, at Twelfth and
Derry streets, Harrisburg, Pa., where
she was taken by her mother on June
15, the day following her mysterious
disappearance.
James Cleveland Grice, who was to
have been the honor man in the grad-
uating class of the Millersville Normal
school at Lancaster, was arrested on
the charge of doing away with his
wife and baby,
It is learned that after leaving the
Lancaster jail Grice went to his par
ents’ home, in Sharpsbarg, where he
met his wife. On the fourth day after
his release he and Mrs. Grice went to
Washington, where they boarded a
train for the west.

the police throughout the United

ficers with having taken $70,000 in

The accident was due to the prema-
ture explosion of a full service charge
of powder, but what caused it is un-
known and probably never will be. All
who were in sight of the gun when it
occurred were killed.
Colonel Townsley has designated a

Most of the dead lost their lives by
being struck by burnt powder, which,
before consumption, is in large grains
and heavy. All the killed and wounded
belonged to the Sixty-ninth company
of coast artillery.
Five batteries were engaged in the
practice when the explosion occurred.
The heavy guns were being fired ra-
pidly at two targets, being drawn by a
tug four miles down the bay. About
fifty shots in all were fired. One of
the targets was completely destroyed
and the other hit several times.
Many prominent officers of the army
and navy who went to Hampton Roads
to witness what was expected to be
the greatest target practice of this
character that had been attempted
anywhere, saw the accident.
It was the more horrible for the rea-
son that wives and children of several
of the men killed, no danger having
been expected, were permitted to see
the target practice. A number of them
witnessed the accident.
The explosion was probably due to
the premature ignition of a powder
charge in which the breech block of a
twelve-inch gun and powder were
blown to the rear.
Slain as He Slept In Hammock.
Former Mayor A. H. Bouseman, ot
Ridgeway, Va., was assassinated by
means of a dynamite bomb, which was
thrown from the street under a ham-
mock in which he was lying.
No clue to the identity of the mur
derer or the cause of the crime has
been found.
Mr. Bouseman had been spending
| the hot evening sleeping in a ham-
: mock swung between two trees on the
lawn in front of his residence. With-
out a word of warning at about 10
o'clock the dynamite bomb was thrown
by someone passing along the street.
It landed in the hammock at his feet,
and in an instant exploded. Bouse-
man's feet were torn away by the
bursting shell, and his legs frightfully
mutilated. In great agony he died an
hour later.
Although the town authorities made
every effort to discover the assassin,
no clue could be found, and it is be-
lieved he escaped without being seen
by any one. The news quickly spread
about town and excitement grew to a
high pitch.
As mayor of Ridgeway Mr. Bouse-
man presided over the police court of
the town trying petty cases. It is
thought that some person .. i whom
Bouseman in his court had passed
sentence of punishment held a grudge
against him and had been awaiting an
opportunity to wreak vengeance on
him. The opportunity came as Bouse-
man lay sleeping in the open air.
The terrific report attracted many
persons to the scene, but the excite
ment was so great that apparently no
one thought to search for the assas-
sin until he had male his escape un-
detected.
