FORTY MORE VOTES AWARDED TAFT ” 4 : Hottest Fights Were Over the Cali fornia and Michigan Contests and Debate Was Bitter. President Taft gained forty more votes in the Republican national con vention through the settlement of con, test cases by the national committee in Chicago. It was a day of Taft victories ex. clusively. In the case of the Califor nia, Arizona and Michigan contests the Roosevelt forces made a fight and voted their fullest strength against the Taft delegates. In the California case they secured a roll call, losing 16 to, 37; in the Arizona contest they failed to get a roll call, and in the Michigan ses none was asked, although the) voted against seating the Taft dele gates-at-large. The contests settled in favor of President Taft were: Arizona delegates-at-large, 6; Cali fornia, Fourth district, 2; Louisiana, delegates-at-large, 6; First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh districts, 14; Michigan, delegates-at- | large, 6; Mississippi, delegates-at-large 4; First district, 2. Total, 40. The national committee have thus far awarded 140 contested delegates to President Taft and ome to Colonel! Roosevelt. | Pearl Wight, national committee ! man from Louisiana and the Roose | velt leader there, lost in his fight to geat the Roosevelt delegates from that | state. An effort was made by Com: mitteeman Harry 8S. New to end the long standing differences among the! Louisiana Republicans by officially re | cognizing the Leisel faction, now con! trolling the state Republican organiza.’ tion, but Mr. Wight headed off such action. : Governor Chase 8. Osborn, of Michi: | gan, and his Roosevelt (delegates-at-| _ large were unseated by the decision of the Michigan case for Taft. The! contest over the Fourth California dis. | trict, decided for President Taft, fur nished the most bitter exchanges ot | the day, Francis J. Heney, leading the Roosevelt forces and insisting upon | recognition for the Roosevelt delegates | there. i A running fire was opened on the committee by Francis J. Heney and a stinging statement was received Irom Governor Hiram W. Johnson in the in| terests of Roosevelt. Mr. Heney, seated in the national committee with a proxy, assailed the! members of the committee, emphasiz | ing particularly Senator Murray Crane, ! of Massachusetts, whom he addressed | as a man who had “no respectability ! to lose.” While Chairman Rosewater | was admonishing the San Franciscan | to address the committee properly | Governor Johnson arrived at the Coli: um. He declined to appear before e committee and issued a written | statement, which Mr. Heney later read to the committee. In this Governor Johnson declared he declined to sub! mit “to a trial to the title of property by the thief who steals it.” i During the roll call a bitter atack | on Mr. Heney was made by Commit teeman Shackleford, of Alaska, who. voted for the Taft delegates. He de | clared that Alaska had been “robbed”! by the “Noyes machine of Minnesota | and that Francis J. Heney was its chief counsel.” The national committee had before it when it adjourned 112 contested seats still to pass upon. Chairman Victor Rosewater, in a statement at the end of the session, said the com- mittee was not keeping pace with the work of the last convention. In 1908 eighty-eight contests remained to be decided on the Wednesday night pre. ceding the convention. Members of the committee fear that the contests will run well over into the opening day of the national convention. Senator Nixon Dead. Senator George S. Nixon, of Nevada, died at the Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat hospital in Washington, after an illness 7 less than a week. The sepv.cr was operated on last Thursday for the removal of a nasal abscess. Blood poisoning and menin- zitis se* in. Previously he had been in good health to all appearances and was about his official duties in the senate, Hope for his recovery was practi- cally given up Monday night, and the senator's wife, who was in San Fran. cisco, was advised by wire and left for Washington at the earlist opportunity, sccompanied by her son. Confesses He Killed Father. George Elmer Watt, eighteen years old, in a written confession which he made before 'Squire Truxall and As. sistant District Attorney Cope in Greensburg, Pa. says he murdered his father, Thomas R. Watt, on Sun- day, May 19, by poisoning whisky his father drank. A tale of a son not yet of age be ing goaded to desperation by the bru- tality of a father was unfolded when , Corporal Carl Dresser, of Troop A, State police, fastened the crime upon young Watt, whom he arrested at his home in Franklin township. Watt is now being held in the county jail. Indiana Pure Food Law Upheld. The Indiana pure food law of 1907 was upheld as constitutional by the United States supreme court.

Turned loose in a strawberry patch, Maurice Hull, a Hanover boy, ate so much of the delicious fruit that he Is in the York, Pa., hospital in a eritical ¢ condition Financier Loaned $25,000,000 When | Call Money Was 100 Per Cent and | Saved the Day. { The tale of how J. Pierpont Morgan | came to the rescue of the New York Stock Exchange at the height of the! 1907 panic by lending it $25,000,000 in ! cash when “call money” was being | quoted at 100 per cent was told on the | witness stand at the Pujo congres | sional committee's inquiry in New | ! York into the “money trust” by R. H.| | the army aviation school and was com- Thomas, who was president of the «x change at the time. On Oct. 24, 1907, when banks were | failing and money could not be ob-! tained, the appalling discovery that | there was no money was brought home to the members of the exchange with a baldness which caused conster- nation. Mr. Thomas said he rushed over to the National City bank to con. | sult with James Stillman, who was] | president. Stillman advised him to go | to see Morgan. | After Thomas left for Morgan's of-| fice, Stillman called up the latter on| the telephone and advised him of the | situation. There was much confusion and excitement at the Morgan offices when Thomas arrived there. No soon-! er had the exchange president reached the door of Mr. Morgan's private office than it opened and the financier ap- peared on the threshold. Without wait. ing for Thomas to speak, Mr. Morgan brusquely exclaimed: “We are going to let you have $25. 000,000. Go over to the exchange and; tell them.” | Thomas suggested that it might be well to split the money up in sums to be divided among different bank rep reesntatives so that there would be | plenty of money in money quarters. ! Mr. Morgan thought that was a good | idea and shouted out: “Perkins, divide that up in lumps.” Then he retired to his office, slam. ming the door behind him. Thomes went back to the exchange and in less than five minutes J. P. Morgan & Co. had delivered $25,000,000 in cash and saved the day. The first avitness was James G. Can- nen, president of the Fourth National bank. Mr. Cannon showed no hesita- tion in admitting that the entire coun- try pays tribute to the stock exchange, | which is the soul of Wall street. “It is done,” Mr. Cannon said, “by out-of-town banks carrying deposits in New York banks. These deposits are farmed out in loans on the exchange. | In 1907 clearing house asscciations is. | sued $250,000,000 worth of certificates, | of which $100,000,000 worth were is | sued In this city.” Asked if his bank would lend money to the Consolidated stock exchange, i | he said it would not. He thought there | were banks that would lend to the, small exchange, but could give no! names. i Mr. Untermyer brought out an ad mission from the witness that the banks in all parts of the country send their surplus funds to New York to be used in call loans, which made pos. sible vast speculations. Thugs in Female Attire. Thugs dressed as women attacked Mrs. May Bernheimer at her home in a fashionable uptown apartment house in New York city, and beat her into insensibility, nouna ana gagged her and escaped with gems valued at $10, 000. Mrs. Bernheimer told the police that her maid met her at the door upon her return .rom a shopping expedition and welcomed her with a blow on the head with a potato masher. A second blow knocked her unconscious, she said. When she awoke she was lying, bound and gagged, upon the maid's bed, while the maid, two men dressed as women, whom she had passed in jue hallway, and her jewels were miss. 8. During the time employed by the thieves to loot the apartment a seam stress sat at her sewing machine in the sittting room, but heard no sound of the struggle. The seamstress ac. counted for this to the police by de- claring that she was deaf. Say Mother Starved Child.

The Aviators Were Only Thirty Feet Above the Ground When Welch Lost Control. Lieutenant Leighton W. Hazlehurst, Seventeenth infantry, U. 8S. A,, of Ma- con, Ga., and A. L. Weich, of Wash- ington, were killed at College Park, Md. when a new army aeroplane of the Wright type, in which the two men were flying, fell to the ground at pletely wrecked. Lieutenant Hazlehurst and Welch had just started ou their trip and had reached an elevation of about 200 feet, when the machine suddenly crashed to the ground. Death to both was in- stantaneous. The machine was com: pletely wrecked. Welch was flying the machine and Lieutenant Hazlehurst was with him as a passenger. They had ascended a distance of about 200 feet, when they dipped to come down and go up again. When about thirty feet from the ground and going at a tremendous speed, estimated by eve witnesses to be between fifty and sixty miles an hour, the machine collapsed and dash- ed to the earth. Apparently the weight of the engine and the two aviators caused the collapse. Captain C. Del. Chandler and seven other army officers witnessed the crash. The machine was brought to the aviation school three weeks ago by Orville Wright. Welch came with him from Dayton, O., as a teacher for the Wright company. Fifteen flights had been made in the machine without ac- cident since it was brought to Col lege Park. Both Lieutenant Hazle hurst and Welch had separately made successful trips in the machine. Welch . was said by Orville Wright to be one of their best teachers. Lieutenant Hazlehurst was but twenty-six rears old and had been in the army since 1904. He was born in Mississippi and was appointed to the military academy from that state. Af ter completing his four years of study at West Point he was appointed a second lieutenant in the Seventeenth infantry, where he served for a time, afterward being detailed to the signal corps, where he was assigned to avia tion. Throughout the short time he was in the military service he served with distinction and was known for his work in aeronautics. He made many flights in rarious aeroplanes owned by the government and this was his first accident. Tries Murder In Shadow of Gallows. With but a few hours to live, Jan Ribarik, in Washington, Pa., condemn ed to die on the gallows, attempted to add another to the list of his vie tims by trying to strangle his daugh- ter when she appeared at his cell to bid him goodby. Antonia Ribarik was a witness against her father at the trial, and it is said that her testimony was most damaging to her father's case. Riba. rik had threatened to kill her before he was hanged, but a week ago he ap parently became reconciled to her and was said to have become converted through her efforts, She called to see her father, and as she stepped forward to kiss him he grasped her by the throat with both hands and was strangling her when guards beat him unconscious with an fron bar. Later he was led to the gal lows and hanged, without expression of regret for his crimes or his attack upon his daughter. Ribarik was execued for the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Novak and Stephen Stanvoji, a hoarder, during a quarrel caused by the Novaks sheltering An tonia Ribarik when her father turned her out of his home.

J., the two Wildwood life guards who were reported as being drowned be low Bayside, N. J., were picked up on Kent island, in Delaware bay, which hey had reached after a two-mile swim when their motorboat caught fire and blew up.

Mrs. Maggie Peppers, twenty-five years old, and the mother of four chil dren, sent a bullet into the back ui John Ramp, thirty-five years old, ac insurance agent and marired man, a! her home in Shamokin, Pa. The victim staggered from the w- man’s house and fell unconscious t= the sidewalk. He was rushed to a hos- pital. When several men reached the scene Mrs. Pepper was standing over the victim and would have sent an- other bullet into his body had it not heen for timely interference. Mrs. Pep- gave the weapon to a neighbor, oe her children and gave herself up to the police. The woman alleges that Ramp has hounded her for several years, that she shot him once before, had him put under bonds to keep the peace, and that when he insisted upo entering her home she shot him in self-defense and the protection of ber home. look for saving the chestnut is far more If the people of that part te with the Pennsyl- vania Chestnut Tree Blight Commission, the infected trees and destroy- ing the diseased posing of the dangerous disease spores, its further spread may be controlled.

I feel thee bounding in my veins,” is a joyous one. Persons that can rarely or never make it, in honesty to themselves, are among the most unfortunate. They do not live, but exist; for to live implies more than to be. To live is to be well and srongio arise feeling equal to the ordi- nary duties of the day, and to retire not overcome by them-to feel life bounding in the veins.
