Article Text

The Indiana Republican convention was organized with Representative Jesse Overstreet as temporary chairman and Representative J. C. Chaney of Sullivan as permanent chairman. A platform was prepared indorsing the candidacy of Vice-President Fairbanks and demanding tariff revision. Mayor Anderson of La Crosse, Wis., clamped down the lid on that city, which had been considered one of the most wide-open in the country. Alexander Dickson, a carpenter on the United States collier Aberanda, was acquitted at San Juan, Porto Rico, of the murder of Chief Officer Walter Weichert. Facing adverse conditions in the way of high winds and heavy seas, the armored cruiser Montana exceeded her contract requirements by a slender margin on the Rockland trial course. The Hennepin canal was opened to navigation without ceremony. The Pike County Bank and Trust company of McComb City, Miss., capitalized at $100,000, was placed in the hands of receivers. Two hundred and fifty thousand picks dropped from the hands of as many bituminous coal miners of the United States, not to be used again until a wage settlement has been reached and a scale adopted between the members of the United Mine Workers of America and the coal operators of the various fields. Gus Johnson, a wealthy farmer who N Kennuary JO thos miles every pean D., was murdered and R. S. Noah and "Patsy" Coyle are in jail charged with the crime. Judge Smith McPherson in the federal court at Kansas City decided that he has full jurisdiction over the maximum freight rate and the twocent passenger fare cases in Missouri. Percy M. Houston, recently elected secretary and treasurer of the YazooMississippi levee board, was shot and killed by J. T. Lowe, a prominent attorney of Tunic, Miss. Flora Whiston, one of the girls who testified in the case against Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian, was indicted by a grand jury in New York *Amfred JO charge e uo The receivership for the Westinghouse Machine company last October, at the beginning of the financial depression, was vacated by Judge James S. Young of the United States circuit court at Pittsburg, on petition of the company and the receivers. New York police failed to prove that Alexander Berkman, the anarchist leader, had in any way instigated the attempt of Selig Silverstein to murder policemen with a bomb. The federal grand jury at San Juan, Porto Rico, returned an indictment against Capt. George Worley, master of the United States collier Aberanda, charging him with inhuman treatment of his men. The house of commons adopted by a vote of 313 to 157 a resolution moved by John E. Redmond, the nationalist leader, that "in the opinion of this house a solution of the home rule problem can only be attained by giving the Irish people legislative and executive control of all purely Irish affairs," after the resolution had been amended by adding the words "all subject to the supreme authority of the imperial parliament." Its credit restored, with $6,000,000 in cash and exchange with which to pay a deposit account of 12 millions, and with financiers of national prominence in charge, the National Bank of Commerce of Kansas City reopened. O. A. Bailey of Kansas City, an ex. press messenger of the Wells-Fargo Express company, was killed by a robber on Santa Fe train No. 115, between Florence and Newton, Kan. The robber escaped with about $1,000. Between 55 and 70 men lost their lives in two explosions in coal mine No. 1, owned by the Union Pacific Coal company at Hanna, Wyo. The explosions were caused by gases and coal dust and each was followed by fire. The first explosion occurred at three o'clock, when 18 mine workers, including a superintendent and three bosses, were killed. The second OCcurred at 10:30 o'clock at night, snuffing out the lives of from 40 to 50 members of a rescue party, including State Mine Inspector D. M. Elias. Archbishop John Ireland of St. Paul has written a letter to the clergy and laity of his archdiocese on the subject of marriage and divorce, in which he characterizes the marriage contract of the times a mere commercial exchange. William J. Bryan, addressing the Democrats of Missouri at Kansas City, said President Roosevelt should have selected Senator La Follette to succeed him. The circuit court at Toledo, O., affirmed the decision of the lower court in the cases of 20 prominent lumbermen of the city who were sentenced to jail for violation of the Valentine anti-trust law. Gov. John A. Johnson is willing to accept the Democratic nomination for president, but is not seeking the honor. This is the gist of his reply to a letter sent him March 23 by Swan J. Turnbald, publisher of the SwedishAmerican Post of Minneapolis, asking just how he stands in the matter.
