GUFFEYIS DEPOSED Credentials Committee Seats Bryan Men From Penssylvania. MINORITY REPORT PREPARED ‘Representatives of Fourteen States Vote Against Action Taken and Will Support Fight on the Floor of the Convention. 3 Denver, July 9.—The committee on leredentials of the national Democratic oonvention concluded its labors after it had been in continuous session for twenty-nine hours. No attempt was made to restrict the time for the presentation of evidence in the various contests, the proceed- Ings in which were all conducted with open doors. y The Idaho, Ohio and Pennsylvania leases provoked much bitterness from the opposing sides. Colonel James M. Guffey of Pitts burg went down to defeat before the lcommittee in all his contested cases, 'the contestants all being seated by a Ivote of 27 to 15. & In the Idaho case the Mormon fac- tion was put to rout, the commitiee deciding in favor of the Dubois fac- tion, who were the seated delegates by a vote of 26 to 20. The Nineteenth Ohio district again was given to Tom Johnson of Cleve- land, who appeared in the committee room and made a strong plea that the action of the national committee be Bustained. The Ninth, or anti-Johnson distriot delegates, were allowed to re- tain their seats. The committee made short work of the New York, Illinois and District of lcolnmbla contests, unanimously sus- taining the action of the national com- mittee in each case. Oklahoma Given Eighteen Votes. The fight of Oklahoma for eighteen delegates instead of fourteen resulted in & victory for the new state. The claim of Oklahoma was based on the allegation that there had been an in- gorrect apportionment of the districts and the committee accepted that view. The action of the committes in the Pennsylvania contests gives the Bryan men control of the delegation, thus {displacing Colonel Guffey, for ten ears leader of the Pennsylvania De- mocracy. The fight will now be car- ried to the floor of the convention. The vote of the committes on cre- dentials on the Pennsylvania contest showed fourteen states, including New York, voting with Colonel Guffey’s forces. As the latter are anti-Bryan fthe attitude of these fourteen states ‘was regarled as showing an undercur- rent of sentiment. The fourteen states voting with the Guffey forces were: | New York, New Jersey, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Dela- . Wware, Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Geor- gia, Louisiana, Kentucky and Mary- land. A minority report from the creden- tials committee is being prepared by ‘Attorney General Strauss of Maryland and it 1s expected that the representa- tives of the fourteen states who voted ‘with Guffey will sign the minority re- port. irodefroderfradoodeafeodrodoodeadoodesdosdrsfesdr oo CHAIRMAN OF DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS % AL D bbb b b A GOVERNOR CHARLES N. HASKELL OF OKLAHOMA. VICE PRESIDENCY AT SEA Predictions Regarding Outcome Mer. est Conjecture. Denver, July 9.—While it is still the general belief that Mr. Bryan will head the Democratic ticket and that only an extraordinary and sensational change of sentiment in the convention can prevent his nomination on. the first ballot all predictions on the sub- Ject of the vice presidency must be mere conjecture. Apart from every- thing else the nature of the platform to be adopted must have a most im- portant bearing upon the character of the men to be selected and the re- mote possibility that the anti-Bryan forces may by some turn of affairs snatch victory from defeat and pre- vent the nomination of the Nebraskan glves just enough uncertainty to the situation to discourage definite ar- rangements and combinations. There are a large number of candidates in sight—Gray of Delaware, Mitchell of Ilinofs, Kern of Indiana, Towne and Harrison of New York, Howell of Georgia and a host of ‘others, running down all the way from “favorite sons,” for whom the complimentary vote of the state delegation is expected to be ot Whom “ieve %ardly TH0re~sacklnE- than that organized under thefr own hats. TO PRESERVE FORESTS. Lumbermen of the South Meet to Dis- cuss Plans. St. Louis, July 9.—About fifty lum- bermen from all over the yellow pine belt in the South met here at the Mer- cantile ‘club to consider ways and means for the preservation of the for- ests in the lumber districts of the South and Middle West. A prelim- inary meeting was held here a month ago and was addressed by Gifford Pinchot, chief of the government for- estry bureau. Following the meeting a number of representative lumber- men by invitation conferred with Pres- ident Roosevelt 2nd their plans are said to have the approval and sanction of the president. Nelson W. McLeod of St. Louis act- ed as chairman at the meeting. He declined to make a statement as to the general line of work the lumbermen had outlined to President Roosevelt. STILL FIGHTING IN KOREA Average of Ten Insurgents Killed in Each Encounter. Tokio, July 9.—Advices from Seoul state that the government troops con- tinue their activity against the insur- gents and many engagements are re- ported throughout the disturbed area. Within a range of eight miles the daily losses of the insurgents average ten killed in each fight. Four thou- sand, nine hundred and ninety-two in- surgents have surrendered up to the present time. Telegraph and tele- phone communications, interrupted during the disturbances, have been almost completely. restored. P GOVERNOR BADLY HURT. Allen Gard, Wounded by Moros, Sent Home for Treatment. ‘Washington, July 9.—A cablegram received at the war department con- veys the information that Allen Gard of New York, the governor of the province of Lanao, in the Moro coun- try, Philippine islands, who was wounded some time ago in a fight with hostile natives, is on board the trans- port Sheridan at Honolulu en route to this country. The dispatch says Gov- ernor Gard “will need a surgeon or expert nurse, also personal attend- ants.” New York Gets Some Relief. New York, July 9.—Cooling breezes at sunrise swept the city and brought welcome relief to sweltering thou- sands, the temperature at 8 a. m. reg- istering 80 degrees. During the early morning hours one death and ten pros- trations ware added to the already ap- palling list of twenty-four deaths and ninety prostrations that the last twem- ty-four hours recorded. AWAITS COMMITTEE REPORT Democratic Convention Holds a Brief 8ession. Denver, July 9.—The Democratic national convention held a brief ses- sion and adjourned until evening, when stirring scenes and highly col- ored incidents are expected. The delay was made necessary by the inability of the committee on cre- dentials to have its report ready for the convention. The resolutions com- mittee, too, was making slow progress and it being certain that the delay must come at some time it was de- cided that it should take place at first. The chief interest of the day cen- tered around the action of the creden- tials committee in declaring against Colonel James M. Guffey of Pennsyl- vania and the vigorous preparations made by that skilled and veteran po- litical warrior to organize his forces for a battle in the convention, which he was determined to carry to the uttermost. In this fight New York for the first time gave an indication of where its colors will fly in any contest that may come up, it having, in company with thirteen other states, signed the mi- nority credentials report. The aggre- gate voting strength of the states is 37¢,.but that figure is not an exact statement of the votes that Guffey will be able to call to his side, as not all of them are acting under the unit rule. LASTS MORE THAN AN HOUR Great Demonstration Bryan. Denver, July 9.—The first great demonstration of the convention oo- curred when Senator Gore, in an im- promptu speech, mentioned the name of “Bryan.” It was like a spark to powder. The demonstration was con- fined Jargely to the delegates and was participated in by those from many states. The only state standards that finally were left in their places wera orgla, New York, Delaware, Minne- sota, Connecticut, Maryland and New Jersey. The demonstration continued for more than an hour. SUPPORTING HONDURAS. Nicaragua Takes Up Arms for Sister Republic. Washington, July 9.—Nicaragua has taken up arms in support of Honduras, which has a revolutionary movement on its hands, according to a dispatch received at the state department. This dispatch says that an army is being recruited by Nicaragua and that troops are being hurried forward with Maxim batteries in aid of Honduras. Another dispatch, however; received at the department from the American representative at the capital of Sal. vador, indicates that the movement against Honduras has failed. in Honor of Nebraska Stockman Killed. Alliance, Neb., July 9—Emil San- doza, a well known stockman on Pine creek, several miles northeast of hers, was killed by F. E. Newman, a hired man on a neighboring ranch. The killing.is declared to have been the result of a scandal fn which Newman figured and which he accused Sandoza of circulating. 7 cast, to the “also mentioned,” some SCORES AEPUBLICAN Clayton at Democratic Na= tional Convention. ROOSEVELT AND “MY POLICIES” President Has Well Advertised Him- self, Says Speaker. . Enormous Tribute Levied on the Peo- Pple by Trusts Behind Wall of High Protection—Demo= cratic Duty. Upon assuming the office of perma- nent chairman of the Democratic na- tional convention, Representative Hen- ry D. Clayton, of Alabama, said in part: “Mr. Chairman and Fellow Demo- erats: Let me thank you for the hon- or you have conferred upon me. This is a Democratlc year. Democratic ideas are now popular. Doctrines al- ‘ways taught by our party and scoffed at by our opponents are now urged as a gospel of their own. Measures and policies of Democratic origin are now advocated by the leaders of the Repub- lcan party. It is no longer anarchistic to declare private monopoly to be in- defensible; or that the great trans- portation companies should be regu- lated and controlled by public law. A demand for the revision of the tariff is no longer a threat to destroy our industrial system. Trusts are not to be tolerated even by the Republican party. We need not now enlarge on the list of Republican admissions and promises for election purposes only. The Republican party has made marked progress in promises to the people and much greater progress in aiding selfish Interests and special privileges. That party, guided by expediency and cam- paign necessity, would camp this year on Democratic ground. It is apparent that If recent progress is to comtinuc it does not requre a very great sweep of the imagination to see written into a Republican platform four years hence those immortal words of Thom- as Jefferson, ‘Equal rights to all, spe- clal privileges to none. Republican Responsibility. “The Republican party, having had full control of the federal government for more than a decade, must give an account of its stewardship. Its pre- tentious claims, largely without founda- tion, and largely exaggerated, will not suffice. Let honest investigation re- veal the bad and defective laws passed by that party; vielous policies main- tained; reforms rejected; the recent panic and its consequence; promises broken; dissimulation practiced; incom- petency confessed by its failure to meet urgent public needs; and exhi ing this incompetency by the appoi ment of junketing commissions for ths alleged purpose of advising that party, 80 long in control and of such boasted legislative wisdom, what legislation is required by the country. Against the Republican party, so dangerous and crafty, 18 a capable, determined, hon- est Democracy, in sympathy with just public demands, and confidently asking in its behalf the candid public judgment. To that judgment the is- sue must be committed, and we un. hesitatingly submit our cause to that fine and truc sense for the right that we know distinguishes the American people. “My Policies." “In this quadrennial contest Mr. Roosevelt has identified himself with Mr. Taft. Mr. Taft has identified him- self with Mr. Roosevelt. The Repub- liean party has inseparably identified the two together. To praise one you must praise the other; to criticise one Is to criticlse his pursuing shadow. And so, I must say, if it should ap- pear to any one that in noting and de- nouncing abuses and failures on the part of the present administration any license is assumed, urge the impossi- bllity of separating the present occu- pant of the White House from his own anointed one. “It has been made evident in the pending campaign that the Republicans will seek to conjure with the name of Roosevelt and will rely upon the pres- ident’s policies as a prized asset. The president. has advertised himself and his policies with a frequency and abil- Ity that surprasses the best efforts of the shrewdest press agent. A distin- guished Republican, a former cabinet officer, once publicly proclaimed the president to be the greatest exponent of the art of advertising the world has known. The country has been told and not sllowed to forget that, in his opinion, his energies have been devoted to the accomplishment of many high purposes, and that if his work is yet Incomplete it is so only because his un- dertakings were too vast to be carried to success during his term of office. ‘My policies’ must continue, The pre- tense is that the fight must go on un- der the leader designated by him un- til the last foe shall have surrendered or lies inglorions in the dust. The pomination of his would-be successor was largely accomplished by the use of officlal patronage and coarse ma- chine methods, and has delighted the chief apostle of strenuosity, and, at the same time, has not perturbed the conscience of the one-time civil service reformer, now the boss, an adept in the bestowal of advice to the public and forgetful of all his resounding moral commonplaces. No fair-mindef American could read the daily ac- counts of the recent political doings at Chicago without feeling mortificatior and regret; mortification that the pres- ident should have so abuscd his power in dictating to a great party his choice of a successor, and regret that that party should have submitted so coward: Iy to a humiliation that was as mank fest as It was degrading.” Mr. Clayton called attention to the failure of the Republican convention to Insert a plank forbidding campaign contributions, quoted President Roose: velt's condemnation of the practice in his message of December, 1905. In- Junctions and confempts of court were treated “vigorously and several quota- tions from the message of President Roosevelt were given to show that the vresident had abandoned at Chicaga {ie policiestis Hi so vigorously uigsd {ii his mesmage, adding: : “It is Important {6 note that the act of Juile 2, 1886, Wii8 passed at the first session of the first. congress that met under the first Demorratic administra: tlon after the elyil war and there la. bor received its first recognition from the government. One Republican ad- ministration had succeeded another for twenty-four years, and not one act was passed in- the interest of labor or in acknowledgment of its right to fair and equal treatment. The Repub licans enacted a tariff which enhanced the price of products that labor had made and capital owned, and they pre tended to do this with a view of se. curing for labor higher wages. What they gave, however, was to the cap- italist, and they trusted him to divide That the increased profits of protected employers have made them able to pay the laboring man higher wages no one can doubt, but it remains for the sav- ing grace of Almighty God so to touch their hearts as to make them willing to pay the higher wages. k “Among the contributions that weni to make up the monument that this great man, Grover Cleveland, builded in the respect and affection of his countrymen, few are more striking than his almost instant recognition, as evidenced by the act of 1886, of the sane and just demands of labor on the lawmaking power. Under him Democ: racy blazed the way and now remains the unflinching champion of every sound reform in this direction. Tm- munity from law we promise nobody, immunity from oppression from its very infancy the Democratic party has been dedicated to establish and se- cure. The Tariff. “The president and his party declare that a pre-election revision of the tariff would be unwise. This assertion has been repeated in advance of every elec: tion since the enactment of the Ding- ley law, and surely the -country will not again be deceived by Republican promises to revise the tariff after the election. Their appeal to the people is this, ‘give vs another chance to make You a promise and the promise will be made.” “What does protection mean? Un- der the Republican policy of protection the people, the consumers, while pay- ing a little over $300,000,000 per year into the treasury through import duties of foreign goods, pay over $1,250,- 000,000 a year in the enhanced pric of home produced goods. Our domestie manufactures exceed our total imports by ten to ome and they are nearly all protected. It is safe to say that the people pay at least $5 to the already wealthy beneficiaries of protectionism for every dollar that is paid into the treasury. Behind the wall of high pro. tection, which in some cases is alto- gether prohibitive, the trusts levy enor- mous tribute on the people. This has amounted to mnot less than $10,000,000.000 in the last decade, not counting the amount paid to sup- port the government. This money has come from the pockets of the farmer, the mechanic, the merchant, the pro- fessional man and the laborer, and hac been poured into the coffers of the protected classes. = More than two- thirds of tbe capital that derives bene- fit from protectionism belongs to the trusts. The Democrats will revise the tariff downward and in the interest of ithe tax payers. who are always for- gotten by the Republican party. There must be revision and a gradual reduc- tion of the tariff by the friends of tariff reduction for the common good, and not by the beneficiaries of its abuses, who justify use of the impost taxing power for the chief purpose of conferring privilege and profit upon the few at the expense of the many. ., Trusts “It Is the shortest of steps from the tariff to the trusts, Let-it be denied If they care to deny it, that the tariff is the real mother of the trusts. The president has made great pretense of destroying trusts. Let him tell of the result. In a message deliveied to con- gress he said: ‘The department of Jjustice has for the last four years de- voted more attention to the enforce- ment of anti-trust legislation than any- thing else. Much has been ac- complished; particularly marked has been the moral effect of the prosecu- tions; but it is increasingly evident that there will be a very insufficiently beneficial result in the way of econ- omic changes. The successful prose- cution of one device to evade the law immediately develops another device to accomplish the same purpose. What is needed is not sweeping prohibition of every arrangement, good or bad, which might tend to restrict competi- tion, but such adequate supervision and regulation as will prevent any restric- tion of competitton from being to the detriment of the public, as well as such supervision and regulation ag will prevent other abuses, in no way connected with restriction of competi- tion.” “This is an admission of failure; and one does not need to dwell on this admission further than to say that the imprisonment of those who violate the law would have had a more salutary effect than all that has been done or might have been done in this diree- tion during his entire adminlstration. “The Democratic party will strike down special privileges, -whether granted through a high protective tariff, or granted to government chart- ered corporations by permission of law. All trusts owe their birth and their ability to continue existence to one or the other'of these two forms of Mspecial privilege. No private monopoly, no business approximating yprivate monopoly, in methods or in magnitude, can endure without one or the other.” ‘The recent panic and the causes which led to-the Aldrich bill were treated exhaustively, and a review piven of the failures of congress to pass many important measures which were recommended by the president. Regarding the president’s failure to call an extra session, Mr. Clayton pointed out that the Democratic leader of the house, authorized by alt his party associates, repeatedly offered to support the measures, but that Re- publican support was not forthcoming, and that it was simply a play for Re- publican votes. Federal ursurpation of power was severely scored in the following language: & . "The president is upon an eminence. If he violates the law, men everywhere know 4t If he_does ‘not. himself re: = ) ) spect 1t t6. the Tl extont, Te ¥obs Tt | of the reverence that might be will- Ingly bestoved by others. In this Bame overbearing spirit he has placed and kept in office men who were not appointed by and with the advice and consents of the senate. He has in- fluenced or attempted to influence courts and juries in the administration of public justice, not only by decid: ing who should and who should not be presecuted, but by making known his personal feelings or sympathies be- tween the prosecution and the ac- cussed. He has scolded judges for their interpretations of the law. It Avas therefore.timely and appropriate that the Republican’ party at Chicago should have declared that it ‘“will up- hold at all times the authority and integrity of the courts. “He has constantly cried out for more power on the part of the federal government at the expense. of the powers reserved to the states. In his speech at Harrisburg, in October, 1906, he told of easy methods for in- creasing the power of the federal gov- ernment. The method provided in the constitution was too cumbersome, slow and uncertain for him. There he lets the country into the secret of his short cut to increasing the federnl power in these words: ‘We need through judicial interpretation and construction, to increase the power of the federal government.’ “Mr. Root, whom the president Is said to have called, ‘my secretary’ followed this Harrisburg expression by a speech at New York, in which be said: ‘Sooner or later construction will he found to vest power where it will be exercised by the national gov- ernment.” *‘Of course many people are not sur- prised at any opinion the president utters; he has so many of them and has expressed them on so many con- ceivable and non-preconceivable occa- slons. Now, Secretary Root is,an able lawyer and a man of trained and de- liberate habits of thought. Nothing shows more plainly the demoraliza- tion wrought by the president than the fact that this trained lawyer, in the very front rank of his great profes- sion, should advocate changing the or ganic law of the union by construc- tion to ‘be found’; and to ‘be found’ by whom? By the very men who are to exercise the power. The insidious proposition of Mr. Root, following up the suggestion of his chief, is that where authority is not granted, which, in the opini>m of the executive, ought to have been granted, this authority is none the less to be exercised, and if no other basis for it can be had, it is to be hased upon construction to ‘be found.’ In other words if the consti- tution has not conferred the power upon the executive, then the power is to be vested in him by construction to ‘be found’ in a way not provided for by the organic law of the Union. “Representative institutions must be preserved, our federal government of delegated and limited powers must be maintained in all its constitutional vigor, and each state must be pre- served with all of its reserve powers, and its integrity and autonomy for ever. Therein is the safety of the Union and the states, onme indis- soluble and the other indestructible. Democratic Duty. “We know there is a brighter pros- pect, if the love of country and liberty is still strong in the hearts of the Ameriean people; if an oath to support the coustitution Ts now considered by them as binding; if the people are in earnest in their protests against the rule of insolent wealth, the unauthor- ized and Dbaleful influence of corpora- tions and the exactions of the trusts; if the manliness of the fathers have been transmitted to the sons; and the fourth of next March will mark the advent of the Gladsome Light of Democracy and the beginning of the return to constitutional government honestly and economically adminis- tered. To the banner we raise here we invite all citizens of our common country who revere the nobler tradi- tions of the past and who deplore the grave aberrations of the present. Let us see to it that this standard shall once again float over a government resting on lasting foundations. “Mr Chairman, delegates and fellow countrymen: The time and the occa- sfon in our national affairs impose a duty we cannot, if we would, evade. ‘We must go out from this hall with one heart and a determination to put our loved ship of state on an even keel. That keel has been too long beating the air. We must bring it down into the deep waters of the constitutio EXPRESSES HER THANKS. Mrs. Cleveland Grateful for Messages of Condolence. Princeton, N. J,, July 9.—So great |t has the number of messages of con- dolence received by Mrs. Grover Cleveland since the death of former President Cleveland that she has found | it impossible to make personal re- sponse to all of them. Therefore Mrs. Cleveland gave to the press the fol- lowing communication in acknowledg- ment of these messages: “In our great grief there has come HTCHCOCK 1 CHOSEN CONFERENCE AT HOT SPRINGS Executive Committee Meets With Candidate Taft and Makes Selec- tion—George R. Sheldon of New York Will Handle the Funds. FRANK H H ITCHCOCK. Hot Springs, Va., July 9.—Frank H. Hitchcock, former first assistant post- master general, one of the managers of W. H. Taft in the campaign for the nomination for the presidency by the Republican - party, was unanimously chosen chairman of the Republican national committee. The committee also chose George Rumsey Shelden of New York to be treasurer of the national committee, designated Arthur I Vorys as a mem- ber of the Republican national com- mittee to have charge of the campaign in Ohio and chose Cincinnati as the headquarters of the Republican na- tional committee for the state of Ohio. The executive committee issued the following statement: “Mr. George R. Sheldon is elected on the recommendation of Mr. Bliss of New York, former treasurer, who de- clined to accept re-election. Mr. Shel- don is the president of the Union League club of New York and was treasurer of the Republican state com- mittee during the campaign of Mr. Hughes for governor of New York and rendered a complete statement under the publicity law of that state of the receipts and expenditures of the cam- paign. This was one of the reasons in addition to the recommendation of Mr, Bliss and the standing of Mr. Sheldon that has induced his election, as the law of New York requiring publicity Wwill apply to his action as treasurer of the national committee.” The committee was in session about an hour and a half when the announce- ments were made. The executive com- mittee ordered that the chairman, sec- retary, treasurer and sergeant-at-arms of the national committee all occupy similar positions on the executive committee and the secretary and treasurer of the committee will be ex- officio members of the executive com- mittee. SEEKS CUSTODYVUF CHILDREN Count de Castellane Declares Former Wife Not Proper Protector, Paris, July 9.—Count Boni de Cas- tellane, whose former wife was mar- ried Tuesday in London to Prince Helie ‘de Sagan, the count's cousin, has opened what promises to be a sen- satlonal legal battle for the possession of his three children, the offspring of his marriage with Miss Anna Gould. Maitre Bonnet, the count’s attorney, told the correspondent of the Asso- clated Press that a decided move would be made in a few days, when he ' 't lwould ask the court to give the cus- and - abiding (tody of all the children to the count on the ground that the Princess de Bagan was not a suitable protector for them, insomuch as she is under the complete domination and control of Prince Helie de Sagan, who is un- worthy to hold the position of father o the children. “As proof that Madame Gould was completely dominated by the Prince de Sagan we will offer her action in raveling to Italy, the Riviera and to England in company with the Prince de Sagan before she was married to him,” Maitre Bonnet declared. cases will proceed as soon as the Princess de Sagan returns and an- bounces her readiness to defend her “The to my children and myself from all |Ibterests.” over our country and from other lands expressions of condolence in our be- reavement and of a participation in our sorrow. My heart is touched by these and by all the tributes paid to Mr. Cleveland in word and act. I am deeply grateful for the comfort that God glves in this way. “I regret that the multitude of these messages renders it impossible for me to send a personal word of thanks for each. The press has kindly of- fered to bear for me this expression of my own and my children’s gratitude and appreciation and I hope it will reach all who have thought of him and of us.” CANADIAN WHEAT CROP. This Year's Yield Estimated at 125, 000,000 Eushels. ‘Winnipeg, Man., July 9.—After care- ful review of the crop situation in Western Canada the leading railways estimate the total wheat yield to be 125,000,000 bushels, an average of twenty bushels an acre. [Last year's wheat crop was 80,000,000 bushels, of which 67,000,000 were exported. It is | estimated that 105,000,000 will be this season available for export. TEXAS WOMAN MURDERED Child of the Victim Supposed to Have Been Kidnapped. Hot Springs, Ark., July 9.—The dead body of Mrs. Ada Reichars of Dallas, Tex., was found in her apartments here, she having been murdered. The body was foynd after neighbors had cared for her two boys over night. An- other child, a girl seven years of age, is missing and is supposed to have ‘been kidnapped by the murderer. The boys were unable to enter their home at night and believing their mother had been called away suddenly they spent the night with neighbors. In the morning entrance was forced into the house and the woman’s body was discovered. Harry Reichars, husband of the woman, who lives in Dallas, has been notified. Letters found in the woman's effects Indicate a separation had existed for some time. The police aré looking for a suspect who is believed to have fled to St, Louis, Coroner’s Inquest Ordered. New.

New York, Julyr 9.—The swift Ca- nard liner Lusitania has broken an. other speed record by logging 643 nau- tical miles a day, according to infor- mation received by the Cunard line officials in New York.
