COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY TONIGHT Dr. Newkirk to Demonstrate the Gy- roscope, Doing Puzzling Stunts. FRANCIS C. FRARY TO LECTURE Jammed House at Crookston Goes Wild With Enthusiasm Over Exhibition, A good house witnessed the play, “The Merchant of Venice,” given by the University of Minnesota Dramatic club at th® Armory Tuesday evening. What the house lacked in ecapacity it made up in enthusiasm and the re- ception given the members of the company was well deserved. i Tonight, Francis C. Frary of the| School of Chemistry, will give a run- ning talk on color photography and Dr. Newkirk, professor of mathemat- ies at the University of Minnesota will perform some puzzling stunts with the gyroscope. These attrac- tions were given to a capacity house at Crookston Tuesday evening and in reviewing the performance the Crookston Times had the following to say: Last night a capacity audience jammed the opera house and witness- ed color photography, demonstrated by Francis C. Frary, who gave a run- ning talk on illustrations of work done, in which colorings were repro- duced with absolute accuracy. He de- | scribed the various processes of color photography, illustrating each upon the screen, and in addition some very interesting slides, showing the appli- cation of the art in the sciences, were shown. The Gyroscope. The gyroscope was then demon- strated by Dr. Newkirk, professor of mathematics at the University of Minnesota, and the modern applica- tions of this puzzling principle were shown. TFollowing a brief lecture in which the various actions of the gy- roscope were classified and explained, he proceeded to the demonstration of working models, of which there were several. Attached to a ship suspended upon rubber bands, the gyroscope resisted all attempts to produce a continuous rocking of the boat by simulated wave motions, and exhibited a re- markable and energetic damping ef- fect upon all tipping motions of the craft, A monorail car, with a gyroscope mounted upon it, was run up and down a wire running from the stage to the gallery, over the heads of the audience, and it-was wonderful to see the car supported by but one wheel under each end, and yet maintaining an upright position. Any effort to tip it made it lean toward the applied force, rather than away from it, and a load of several pounds placed upon one side, caused that side to raise slightly instead of settling. A gyroscopic dumbell also furnish- ed much amusement, as it always turned in the direction opposite that to which the pressure was applied. A sharp blow did not disturb the spin- ning gyroscopes, and a steady pres- sure only produced a movement at right angles.

JUNE 19, 1912, ORGANIZE NEW BREEDERS ASSO0. Carlton Session Held June 15 Brings Forth Another Live Organization. MINNESOTA & WISCONSIN UNITE Select Guernsey Cattle As Best For Purpose in This Northern Section. ) ASSN. PREPARED TO DISTRIBUTE Next Annual Meeting Will Be Held at Grand Rapids, Minnesota, Next June, The annual meeting of the above named association was held at Carl- ton, Minn., on June 15th, ing marked the fourth year of the association and while its actual mem- bership has not greatly increased during this time the number of pure bred animals owned by thé members of the association has, and its work and influence has increased until now it is ready to announce its purpose as a permanent organization. As the name signifies the associa- tion has for its purpose the breeding of Guernsey cattle or more properly speaking the breeding of dairy cat- tle. The Guernsey breed was select- ed because this breed seems best for the conditions of the country, and only one dairy breed was selected for the reason that greater results can be secured by combining on one breed than by a division on many breeds. A roll call at the annual meeting showed that there are over 225 reg- istered Guernsey cattle owned by members of the association and sev- eral hundred grades. The association is now prepared to distribute breeding stock in consid- erable numbers and many ask why the Guernsey breed of cattle in pref- erence to the other excellent breeds? The answer is this: The timbered section of Northern Minnesota and Northern Wisconsin is primarily a dairy section. The acres under the plow from which winter feed can be produced are few and every ton of feed grown must be converted into the highest value possible. Feed con- verted into butter by a good dairy cow will bring the farmer five times {as much profit as if the same feed had been converted intd beef by a beef animal. Since winter feed is scarce the beef animal then is out of the question except where the farm- er may have large natural meadows. Then the question arises: Which dairy breed? This. depends upon whether milk, cheese or butter is to be the chief product sold. It has been found that butter is the chief product and this being. the case the dairy breed that will pro- duce butter the cheapest is the best breed for the farmer. The Guern- seys have proved their superiority in the production of butter at the least cost. They not only produce butter cheaply but they give a large quan- tity of rich colored milk. They are quiet in disposition, easy to handle, and the sires are rarely vicious. The grade Guernsey cow has proved high- ly satisfactory to farmers who have taken up this breed and the demand for registered animals makes the breeding of pure bred stock profitable for those who engage in it. The Guernsey Breeders association is ready to assist the farmers toward Dbetter dairy stock. The officers of the association are as follows: presi- dent, Geo. C. Cooper, Superior, Wis.; secretary and treasurer, M. E. Bain- ard, Carlton, Minn.; executive com- mittee, John G. Williams, Duluth, Minn,, Harry Patterson, Barnum, Minn., A. J. McGuire, Grand Rapids, Minn. The next annual meeting will be held at Grand Rapids, Minn. Oklahoma Want One-Cent, Tax Law.

EAD MAN MURDERED Body of an Unknown Man Found Near Cass Lake Depot This Morning. MURDERERS MAY BE IN BEMIIJT Cass Lake, Minn., June 19— (Spec- ial Pioneer Wire Service)—An un- known man was found dead early this morning a few rods West of the Gredt Northern depot. Evidently death resulted from strangulation. The body was that of a Finlander. He was seen last night in company with three others making small pur- chases at different places around town. The Finlander was the one who had the money and paid for the supplies. When found at 4 o’clock this morning the body was still warm and it is believed that death oceurred a few hours previous. 4 There were several scratches about the face, apparently done by finger nails. It is apparent that a orime was committed, motive heing rob- bery. The pockets were torn from their places and shoes also off. It is believed that the men who were with the Finlander left for Bemidji. Three men were seen walking on the Great Northern tracks between Far- ris and Bemidji, headed this way. County Attorney Funck of Cass coun- ty has chartered an automobile and is giving chage. 5 A post-mortem examination of the body *was held this morning. It is believed that the Finlander’s home is in Hibbing. * REAL ESTATE MEN HOLD MEET.

THE WINNER 716 VOTES Clark, Wilson, Underwood and Har- mon Lead in Order as to Delegates. 1,074 DELEGATES TO BE THERE Arrangement Committee Already on Ground Preparing for the Big Meeting. Baltimore, Md., June 19.—One thousand and seventy-four delegates will assemble in the Fifth Regiment Armory in thie city next Tuesday to name a candidate to run as the Dem- ocratic party’s choice for preésident of the United States. These delegates represent the Dem- ocratic voters of forty-eight states, the District of Columbia, the District of Alaska and the territorial posses- sions of Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines. The number of dele- gates exclusive of the territories and insular possessions is twice the num- ber of United States senators and members of the house of representa- tives. Each delegate to the national con- vention represents a section of the country peopled " by approximately 91,972,266 people (according to the census of 1910), of whom at least 27,000,000 are male adults of the voting age. 5 The 1,074 delegates meet to select a man who will represent the ideas of the Democratic voters as to neces- sary qualifications for a president of the United States and to voice their ideas as to general policles which should be followed by the chiet exe- cutive for the four years succeeding March 4, 1913. The delegates will vote these policies in a series of reso- lutions, which, taken together, is popularly called a “platform.” They are also to select a candidate for vice- president to serve in case of the death or inability of the president. Theoretically the-cholce : of the nominees and the framing of the plat- form are matters which the dele- gates take up as quite fresh subjects, and upon which they have varying opinions, but practically, and as a result of widespread discussion in the dafly press and elsewhere, there are always of late some well settled ideas on the subject of condidates and ‘issues, and a certaln unanimity on many matters from the outset. In the present instance, however, canslderably more doubt surrounds the actlons and decisions of the con- vention than has been the case for FOOLISH SEASON IS HERE JOBBERS SPECIAL AT 7:55 Plans are Completed to Have Bnlil ness Men Meet with Visitors at Club Rooms. SOME MAY TAKE IN LECTURE The special train carrying the Jobbers from Minneapolis will arrive over the Great Northern road at 7:55, which 8 ‘an hodr later than at first planned. - The party will be met at the depot by members of the Com- mercial club and others and will be escorted to the club rooms, where arrangements have been made to car- ry out the individual wishes of the party. . 3 The officers of the club are par- ticularly desirous that the business men furn out en masse and welcome the visitors. The jobbers from Min- neapolis have the impression that Bemid}l is one of the livellest big little cities 6n the map, and the re- ception tonight will go far in keep- ing up this reputation. Some of the members have suggested that an au- to ride be taken. FARMERS ORGANIZE C0-OP. ASSN. Eight States of Northwest Send Del- egates to Minneapolis Meeting. Minneapolis, Minn., June 19.— Plans to extend the movement for co- operative marketing of farm products are to be exhaustively discussed by the National Association of Manag- ers of Farmers’ Elevator companies, which met in this city today for a three days’ convention.

CHICAGO' BIG STORM Attempt Made to Unseat 92 Delegates From the Permanent Or- ganization. ROOT DELIVERS ADDRESS BY HAROLD J. DANE. Chicago, 1., June - 19—(Pioneer Special Wire Service)—The National Republican. convention re-convened this morning at 10:30 with Tempo- rary Chairman Root in the chair. The session assumed a more quiet attitude than at yesterday’s meeting. The spectators were held under surveil- ance by the well organized force of sergeant-at-arms and corps of assist- ants. Governor Hadley started the ball rolling again by introducing a reso- lution embodying a clause to unseat 92 of the contested delegates whose vote carried the day for Root, and asked for a re-roll call for the elec- tion of a temporary chairman. He spoke at length and other speakers will follow, which it is belleved will take up the greater portion of the day. Special reports from the firing line state that it will be impossible to reach the point of nominating a candidate for president until Thurs- day. % Cochems Resigns. Henry T. Cochems, the Wisconsin delegate “who nominted McGovern and thereby brought on a clash with Houser and the La Follette delega~ tion from his own state resigned to- night as a member of the delegation. He issued a sharp attack on La Fol- lette in which he accused the Wis- consin senator of having pursued a “selfish and perversely narrow pol- fey. r 5 Chicago, - June 19— (Special) — The first session of the convention re- sulted in the election of Root as tem- porary chairman, Root winning by a vote of 558 to 502. Governor Hadley led the fight for the Roosevelt force by amending temporary rules so as to seat Roosevelt delegates. This was ruled out of order. The Taft fight was led by former representative, ‘Watson of Indiana. Both were ruled out of order and the National com- mittee nominated Root. Henry Cochems nominated McGovern. Root Spoke as Follows. “Gentlemen of the Convention: Believe that I appreciate this expres- sion of confidence. I wish I were more competent for the service yon require of me. “The struggle for leadership in the Republican party, which has so long engrossed the attention and excited the feelings of its members, is about to be determined by the selection of a candidate. The varying claims of opinion for recognition in the politi- cal creed of the party are about to be settled by the adoption of a platform. The supreme council of the party in this great national convention, rep- resenting every state and territory in due proportion, according to rules, long since established, is about to ap- Peal to the American people for the continuance of the power of govern- ment, which the party has exercised ‘with but brief interruptions for more than half a century and that appeal 18 to be based upon soundness of prin- ciple, and the qualities of the candi- dates, selected by the convention. “In the performance of thiz duty by the convention and in acceptance 'of its concluisons by the Republicans is to be applied the ever recurring test of a party’s fitness to govern, its coherence and its formative and con- trolling- power of organization. “And this depends upon the wil- lingness of the members of the party to subordinate their varying individu- - al opinions and postpone matters of difference between them in order that they may &ct in unison upon the great questions wherein they agree; upon their willingness and capacity to thrust aside the disappointment Wwhich some of them must always feel in failing to secure success for the candidates of their preference; upon loyalty of the party members to the party itself, to the great organiza- tion whose agency in the government they believe to be for the best inter- ests of the nation and for whose con NOISY ONE
