This morning he calmly and in childish prattle, which showed that he did not realize the gravity of his act, con- fessed that he had struck the baby. Howard, who is nicknamed “Happy,” sat on his father's knee and told his story, while another brother, 2 years old, leaned against his father's chair and lisped “Happy did it.” Howard is a bright looking child and was nicknamed “Happy" because of his sunny disposition. GOATS T0 SAVE LIVES OF BABES Expert Asserts That Their| Milk Is a Preventive of Tuberculosis in Infants — Special Dispatch to The Cail. CALL BUREAU, HOTEL BARTON, WASHINGTON, July 12—A. B. Hulit of Missouri, who is now in Washington on his way to Europe for a cargo of goats, proposes to revolutionize the methed of feeding infants in the United States. Hulit has been in Chicago where, with the aid of prominent phy- sicians, he conducted experiments which have convinced him that tuber- culosis cannot be transmitted by goats’ milk. He estimates that but 20,000,000 goats will be required to afford énough milk for the babies of the United States. There are at present about 2,000,000 goats in the count Mulit is setting about the task of increasing that num- ber by 18,000,000 and his visit to Wash- ington was for the purpose of arrang- ing to have a large number of these animals imported free of duty under the provision of the Dingley act per- mitting free importation of animals brought into the United States for breeding purposes. Incidentally, in discussing his plans, Hulit told what a great thing it would be if the goat industry could be es- teblished in the United States. He id it would give employment to more persons than are employed by the United States Steel Corporation and there was splendid profit to be made in selling goats’ milk at 10 cents a quart. Hulit will visit several European countries in search of a hardy breed of goats best adapted to introduce into the United States. He believes that he will find the most satisfactory animals in Norway, where there are goats tMat combine hardiness with good milking qualities. e —— VATICAN ASKS FRENCH BISHOPS TO RESIGN its Demana 1 Resisted by the Pre- mier of the Paris Gov- ernment. PARIS, July 12—The Matin says that eight days after the recall of Nisard, former French Embassador at the Vatican, a number of French bishops received an order from Cardi- nal Vannutelli, acting for the Vatican, to tender their resignations by return mail. The Bishops, it is added, consult- ed the Minister of Public Worship and Premier Combes, who directed them not to tender their resignations, on the ground that the concordat required the assent of the state before removals were enforced. Thereafter the Papal Secretary State, Cardinal Merry del Val, threat- ened the Bishops with the termina- tion of their episcopal powers, unless they came to Rome within fifteen days. This also was submitted to Combes, who forbade the Bishops leaving their posts. Bishop Laval of Dijon, two r Bishops and three Archbishops having republican sympathies were the | ones designated. i The Matin asserts that the dismissal of the Bishops without consulting the Government’s wishes will be considered as formal renunciation of the relations between church and state.

SENATOR ELKINS ADVOCATES [PREPARATIONS DEFEAT OF FATHER-IN-LAW Respects Davis Highly, but Hopes to See Him Lose. Stormy Convention of the West Virginia Republicans. WHEELING, W. Va.,, July 12.—At the close of the first day of the most turbulent political convention in the history of the State, following the bit- terest fight the party has ever expe- rienced, Willlam Mercer Owens Daw- son is the Republican nominee for Governor of West Virginia. Claims of accessions from the ranks of the Daw- | | son followers, made by.the managers of Charles Teter's candidacy, deter- mined the Dawson leaders to make a test of strength early in the day, and it came when a motion to dispense with the committee on credentials, re- sisted stubbornly by the Teterites, was carried by more than 100 majority. The Dawson faction followed its ad- vantage and, despite scenes of the wildest disorder, during which Senator Elkins reatened to withdraw from his position as chairman, they forced a nomination before the platform was prepared. The resolutions committee will not meet until to-morrow morning, but the candidate is named. The re- mainder of the ticket will be chosen on Wednesday. The convention was called to order | at 12:30 o'clock in the Wheeling Ca- sino, four miles east of the city. Sen- ator Elkins was temporary chairman. | In his speech he said: “The Democratic party, in its de- | sire to capture the State, has nominated | for Vice President one of our most | distinguished citizens and the foremost | Democrat in this State; but in this, as in most everything else. the Demo- crats made a mistake. Senator Davis, to whom I am so nearly related and for whom I cherish feelings of the high- est regard, admiration and affection, is a man of affairs and an experienced statesman, having served his State creditably in the Senate for twelve years. With these qualifications and this fitness he should have been named for the first place instead of a man without a record and without business or political experience. West Virginia cannot be beguiled into giving up pro- tection and sound money to make Judge Parker President, even if by so doing they make Senator Davis Vice President. 1 have not the slightest doubt of victory next November. There is no good reason why a Republican | should change his vote on State and national politics, but many weighty reasons why he should not. “The Democracy of West Virginia advocates the astounding proposition, should it come into power in the State, of disfranchising 15,000 loyal colored Republicans and robbing them of the rights of citizenship guaranteed by the constitution and for which many of them and their fathers fought in the war of the Union. Republicans must and will resist this proposition, be- cause it is, not only wrong in itself, but unfair and unjust to a large body of law-abiding, worthy and industrious citizens. “President Roosevelt has given the people a wise and pure administration that commends itseif to all our peo- ple. The President has so commended himself to the people that he has been renominated without opposition, and with him for Vice President Charles Warren Fairbanks, one of our purest, ablest, most experienced and conserva- tive statesmen. Under the leadership of these men with the flag of protec- tion floating high over it, the Repub- lican party will triumph. “President Roosevelt already stands as one of the remarkable figures in our history. He walks hand in hand with destiny and at times seemingly compels it to do his bidding. The American people will not turn away from him to risk or follow an untried man on an ‘ambiguous, evasive and un-American platform.” | — UNION MEN SEEK INTERVIEW. Attempt to Gain the Ear of the Presi- dent at Oyster Bay. OYSTER BAY, July 12.—A com- mittee representing the Central Labor unions in Lackawanna and Luzerne counties, Pennsylvania, with a mem- bership of 250,000 men, principally min- ers or allied workmen, came here to- day to personally present to President Roosevelt resolutions adopted by the several bodies they represent, urging him to investigate the Colorado labor situation. The members of the committee were informed by Secretary Loeb that a personal interview with the President could not be arranged. He suggested that they call upon National Chairman | Cortelyou in New York with the reso- { lutions, but they declined to accept the | suggestion. They.left immediately for . home to report to a convention which | now in session at Pittston, Pa. e PARKER’S CAMPAIGN BEGINS. Will Be Conducted ¥From the Nomi- nee’s Home in Esopus. ESOPUS, N.

New Yorker Wagers $20,000 to $10,000 on Revnublican Leader. NEW YORK, July 12.—What was the largest election bet recorded in the present campaign was made vesterday when a well-known New York busi- ness midn wagered $20,000 to $10,000 that Roosevelt would win. So far as can be ascertained this is the largest wager ever made at the in- ception of a political campaign.

Jenes, the “Golden Rule Mayor,” died at his home this evening at 5:07 o’clock as the result of a complication of dis- eases. The immediate- eause of his death was an abscess on his lungs. When this abscess broke the Mayor was not strong enough to throw off the on from his system and death resulted. The Mayor had suffered for vears from asthma and this was the primary cause of his fatal illness. The death of Mayor Jones has caused the greatest sorrow all over the city. Although many did not believe in his ideas on sociological problems, every- | bedy loved ang respected him. His one | great hold on the people of Toledo was | his honesty. The Mayor was taken ill two weeks ago last Saturday and for | the last forty-eight hours previous to his death was in a comatose condi- ticn. He did not regain consciousness during that time. All the members of his family were at his bedside at the | three sons, Percy, Paul and Mason Jones. He will be succeeded as Mayor by Robert Finch, president of the City Council. The remains of Mayor Jones will lie in state at Memorial Hall on Thursday and Friday until nocn. The funeral services will be held at the Jones resi- dence on Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock. The remains will rest on the veranda, from where theaddresses will be made. The lawns will be open to all. The pallbearers will be selected from his employes. o SRR, AUGUST C. HINZ DIES. Prominent Merchant Passes Away After Few Days’ Serious Iliness, August C. Hinz, one of San Fran- cisco’s leading citizens, died yesterday afternon at 3 o'clock at the Adler Sanatorium after a serious illness, which attacked him suddenly upon his arrival in the city last Friday from his home in Mill Valley. So ill was the sufferer that he was taken to the sanatorium, where an operation was performed, but he never rallied. Mr. Hinz had been somewhat indisposed for some time, but until the illness which proved fatal his family had no “ought that the end was so near. JIr. Hinz was born in Schleswig- Holstein sixty-four years ago. In 1867 he came directly to San Francisco and for many vears was a partner in the firm of Haker & Hinz and subsequent- 1y became head of the firm of Hinz & Landt, wholesale milliners, 543 Market street, in which he was interested up till the time of his death. He was prominent in local German societies. He leaves a wife and six children and a brother, A. Frederick Hinz, of the Hinz & Plagemann Yolo Flour Mills.

Knight Does Not Ask County Conventions to Pledge in His Behalf RACE FREE FOR ALL When Tarpey Comes March- ing Home There Will Be War in Democratic Camp —_— Geoge A. Knight's candidacy for the office of United States Senator is free- ly discussed in political circles. Sen- ator Thomas Selvage left the city yes- terday for Humboldt County and upon his arrival in Eureka will preach the gospel of Knight. It seems that some early missionary work for Henry T. Oxpard in that region of the redwoods must be undone in order to give Knight the middle of the road. Senator Selvage will place prompt denial on all reports fo the effect that Mr. Oxnard is the only Senatorial as- pirant who is close up to the Presi- dent. Moreover the impression that George Knight cooes like a dove oa the first syllable of President Roose- velt's name will be removed or soft- ened. Mr. Knight, while confident of ulti- mate success in the fight for the Sen- | atorship, does not expect or desire hard and fast pledges from members of the Legislature. On this topic he remarks: “I do not want the county conven- tions that will meet to nominate can- didates for the Asserfibly and Senate to instruct such candidates to vote for me for United States Senator; I want all nominees to be free and unpledged, that they may exercise their own good judgment for what is best for the Re- publican party. When the Legislature meets in January next, if after a can- did and careful consideration of aill the aspirants r the great honor I am not the favored one, I want every member of that body to feel he has broken no pledge or promise and that I will still be a Republican and will cheerfully indorse the judgment of that branch of the State govern- ment that has honestly carried out the people’s wishes.” ‘When Tarpey comes marching home there will be something doing in poli- tics. As the representative of Cali- fornia Democrats in the national com- mittee of the party he will expect to be consulted on subjects pertaining to the management of the campaign in this State. He will confer with James H. O'Brien and others in making up Assembly district delegate tickets to be voted for at the August primary election. A victory for Tarpey and O’Brien, such as winning a majority of delegates to the local and State con- ventions, would not dislodge McNab from his position as chief director of the Democratic orgamization, because the early convention of the party at Santa Cruz selected the State Central Committee or governing body and Mc- Nab was clever enough to seize the works while Tarpey was fighting for a Hearst delegation to the St. Louis con- vention. There will be something else, how- ever. to wrangle over. Candidates for the Electoral College and nominees for a E to be named, and Tarpey has no thought of accepting the McNab pro- gramme. Neither will the Assembly district tickets prepared by the organi- zation be accepted as the regular party tickets. At a recent meeting of the Demo- cratic County Committee in Native Sons Hall William Hoff Cook proposed an amendment to the constitution giv- ing to each Assembly district the right to prepare its regular ticket for the district. The amendment was as follows: All delegates to be elected to any local or district convention under the laws of this State governing primary elections shall be se- a 3 DR. KILMER'S SWAMP-ROOT.

PARIS, July 12.—The Chamber of Deputies to-day held a tumultuous ses- sion over the report of the committee which has been investigating the Char- treuse scandal. The report says that the charges of attempted bribery were not sustained and expressed regret that Premier Combes had made such charges. This declaration aroused violent op- position upon the part of the friends of the Premier; who brought forth a coun- ter proposition declaring that the Pre- mier and Government were above all suspicion and denouncing their calum- niators. A noisy debate ensued, during which the Premier censured a number of Deputies for disorderly conduct. Eventually the Chamber adopted by a large majority a resolution declaring that the Premier and Government were above suspicion and unanimously adopted a clause of the resolution de- nouncing the calumniators. During the disorderly debate M. de Baudry d’Ausson, Conservative, sought to place a mock crown of laurel upon M. Combes as the latter was withdraw- ing from the Chamber.
