T.R and Recall | Policy Endorsed. State Convention Adopts Platform and Names Ticket. Penrose Not There. The Roosevelt-Flinn program was swept through the Pennsylvania Re- publican state convention at the Ma- jestic theater in Harrisburg. The de- moralized Penrose organization neith- er vigorously nor consistently oppose’ it. The convention adjourned after a six-hour session. The Roosevelt-Flinn forces not only nominated their slate candidates for state treasurer and auditor general, but their four congressmen-at-large. Twelve Roosevelt delegates-at-large were also elected. The following ticket was nominated: State Treasurer. Robert K. Young, Wellsboro. Auditor General. A. W. Powell, Pittsburgh. Congressmen-at-Large. Fred E. Lewis, Allentown. Arthur R. Rupley, Carlisle, John M. Morin, Pittsburgh. Anderson H. Walters, Johnstown. Delegates-at-Large. Robert D. Towne, George Flinn, Pittsburgh; Ziba T. Moore, Philadel- phia; E. H. Gilkyson, Phoenixville; W. R. Young, Pottsville; W. 8, Tomp- kins, Luzerne county; W. H, Hacken- burg, Sunbury; George R. Scull, Som- erset; W. W. Kinkaid, Headville; Lex Mitchell, Punxsutawney; Fred W, Brown, Elk county; Reynolds Louch- lin, Westmoreland; Owen Underwood, Beaver. Alternates. Virgil D. Acker, Harry B. Meyers, Lewistown; R. A. Orbison, Hunting- don; Fred S. Drake, Philadelphia; B. F. Madore, P. E. Womelsdorf, C. O. McClain, Oscar J. Denny, W. L. Mec- Cullough, Thomas M. H. Hay, W. R. Schmucker. Presidential Electors-at-Large. William Wilhelm, William F. Remp- pis, Charles Van Scotter, J. P. Mec- Narney, H. D. W. English, C. H. English. Permanent Chairman. Congressman Stephen G. Porter, of Pittsburgh. Chairman State Committtee. Henry G. Wasson, of Pittsburgh. The Republican organization dele- gates, outnumbered two to one and lacking the leadership of Senator Pen- rose, who remained away from the convention, offered only puerile re- sistance to Flinn and the new-found allies of the Pittsburgh political con- tractor. Not one plank in the Roosevelt- Flinn platform was disturbed by the organization. The platform, with all its so-called Roosevelt political “here- sies” was adopted by the convention just as it came from the hands of Flinn and his associates. The injection of the woman suf- frage question into the convention also helped to enliven a convention that was at many points “dragged’ and was dull. The convention side-stepped the is- sue by adopting a resolution embody- ing the hope that the next legislature would give the suffragists’ demands “gerious consideration.” The conven- tion made amends for its at least par- tial failure to champion women’s right to the ballot by giving Miss Mary Bakewell, of Pittsburg, who is presi- dent of the Equal Franchise Federa- tion of Western Pennsylvania, a more than respectful hearing. Miss Bakewell was escorted to the stage by Frank B. McClain, former speaker of the house of representa- tives. Her address which was snappy and witty was generously applauded. Penrose Stays Away. Senator Penrose, deposed leader of the “state organization,” did not oc- cupy the seat reserved for him when the convention met. He remained in his room at the hotel. State Chairman Walton called the convention to order. After the tedious roll call had been completed Congress- man Stephen C. Porter, of Pittsburg, was elected temporary chairman. The convention was put into good humor when Chairman Walton appointed Sen- tor McNichol as one of the committee of two to escort the temporary chair- man to the platform. A resolution presented by Flinn, that Henry G. Wasson, of Pittsburg, be named state chairman and A. Ne- vin Dietrich, Franklin county, secre- tary of the state committee, was re- ferred to the resolutions committee; as was also a resolution favoring wo- man’s suffrage. A resolution putting the convention on record as favoring a woman's suf- frage amendment in the state consti- tution was negatively reported and in Its place the following adopted: “Whereas, this convention deems it inexpedient at this time to commit the Republican party of Pennsylvania to an endorsement of woman suffrage, yet we must recognize the growing general sentiment in its facor; there- fore, be it . “Resolved, That we request the next legislature to give this great question of woman suffrage careful consida- ation, with the view of submitting the proposition to a referendum vote when a reasonable public sentiment demands it.” “Lifer” Proves He Is Honest. There is one honest man among the “lifers” who are serving time in the Marquette, Mich,, prison. At least Mrs. A. J. Straus, of Cincinnati, be- lieves so. Neil Sinclair, of Chippewa county, is the prisoner. After Mrs. ! Straus visited the prison she missed | two diamond rings, which she valued ! + at $1000. Sinclair found the jewels in the prison yard and they were at once | returned to the owner. i Due! With Shotguns Fatal. | One man is dead and another is in a | dying condition in a Philadelphia hos- | pital, following a duel with shotguns, | caused, it is thought, by the infatua- i tion of both men over the same girl. | John Larkins, twenty-one years old, and Frank Roddy, thirty years oid, met in a fleld at Martin's Village, a surburb, and fired at each other at | a distance of fifty yards, | Larkins fell at the first volley mor- ' tally wounded, but he crawled to his | knees and fired before he lost com- sciousness, the charge of buckshot tearing a hole in his rival's jaw. i For half an hour the two men lay | in the field, nearby residents fearing | to approach them. Larkins died after being taken to a hospital. Roddy, it i is thought, cannot live. 1 The two men had some words about a girl engaged in a fist fight. The re- sult was unsatisfactory and they agreed to fight it out with shotguns. | Accompanied by two friends they took | their guns to a field, measured off | first shot tore a terrible hole in Lar- kin's abdomen, and only by a pain- ful exertion was the latter able to] get to his knees and fire the shot that ! laid Reddy low. i The seconds dissapeared after the | first shot. The police have not yet found out whe they were, nor have | they been able to locate the girl over | whom the fight is said to occured. | Both men were popular in the village. Jersey Banker Held as Embezzier. Robert M. Petty, president of the | Washington National bank, in Ware! ren county, New Jersey, was placed under arrest by United States Marshal | Snowden on a bench warrant follow- | ing bis ‘nlictment, and was held in | the Uni. ! States Court in $1,000 bail | on a charge of embezzlement. | Petty is specifically accused of em- bezzlement of $30,295 of the funds of the bank. The charge is made that | he obtained this money by virtue of his position as president of the bank, and applied it to his own uses. The comptroller of the currency at Washington, became suspicious of the bank when he went over the official report of the institution. He made an investigation and then ordered the bank closed. A further investigation resulted in the indictment of Petty. Real Estate Transfers. Sarah C. Walker to Edward Gill, tract of land in Benner Twp.: $650, Margaret E.
