DIES MONIES, iowa, July 9.-The Re-
publican State Convention will be called
to order at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
in Calvary Tabernacle, structure that
will hold $500 people, but will not begin to
hold all who will seek admission. Practi-
cally the full number of delegates, 1914,
will be present. Tie number required to
nominate is 623. The only contest will be
over the nomination for Governor. for
which there are ten candidates, at least
seven of whom are protesting tonight to
expect the honor, and the other three will
not admit that they are without hope
The platform will be adopted without a
contest of any sort. 1t is now generally
expected that it will be short and in no
way radical. State issues will be dwelt on
briefly, but the liquor question will not be
touched upon. Two years ago the party
adopted the policy of considering this
question out of politics and will continue
it. The Minneapolis platform of 1892 will
be reaffirmed as to National issues. This
course will be adopted as being best
adapted to further the candidacy of Sena-
tor Allison, who is here but taking no
part, for the Presidency.
General F. NJ. Drake of Centerville and
ex-United States States Senator James F.
Harlan of Mount Pleasant are the two
leading candidates for Governor, and the
hopes of the others rest upon the assump-
ton that the lines will be so strongly
drawn between these two that neither can
be nominated. General Drake has 1>Se

him a general second choice. Between
these two it is question of organization
versus enthusiasm. There is little bet
ting being done tonight and Drake is the
fayorite. The personal fight on General
Drake has been abandoned, what is con-
sidered as a full vindication having been
published and all the other candidates
having disavowed the attacks. The claims
of the candidates for Governor as to their
votes on the first ballot are: Drake 400,

themselves in as good shape to win as
those with many.

viii Show No Mercy When the Band
OF WhitecapS Is over

CINCINNATI, OHIO, July "a special
to the Tribune from Princeton, KY, says:
A posse composed of indignant Lewiston
citizens, armed with revolvers and rifles,
has started in pursuit of the murderers of
Joseph Howton and his son, Hewlett.
The mob which killed father and son was
made up of at least fifteen men, and should
the posse catch up with them there will be
desperate battle.
The mob, all the members of which were
masked, went to the Howton residence at
Lewiston, eight miles from here, shortly
before midnight last night. The men held
short consultation, and just as the clock
struck II, one of the mob knocked on the
door and asked to see Hewlett Howton.
He came to the door, and after talking a
minute or two on some personal matter,
he was seized by two others. They pulled
him outside and asked him to go with
them to the barn. He refused, and one of
the miscreants shot him through the
body. Then they dragged him to the gate
and shot him several times.
One man had stood guard at the door,
and after they had finished Hewlett, the
gang went back to the house. The white

life and the lives of his family, but his en-
treaties were unheeded, and they made
him back I'D into a corner, SO they could
shoot him without danger to his wife ana
daughters.
The leader deliberately counted ten, and
then five of the men fired at the old man.
One ball struck him in the wrist, another
in the abdomen and third in the groin.
Then the men left the house, taking
with them boy who worked on Howton's 8
farm. They carried him to a vacant
building and tied him to a tree, telling
him they would kill him if he attempted
to escape before daylight.
A man named Brashears was sent half
an hour after the shooting for one Of the
-neiehbors, who lived half mile away.
He was stopped by a man on horseback
and made to go back home. The old man
was not dead, and another hand was sent
for doctor by another road. This was
also guarded, and the man was turned
back.
It was given out that no one must leave
the Howton place again before daylight
under pain of death. AS result, it was
eight hours before any of the neighbors
knew of the mobs awful work.
There is no theory as to the cause of the
mob's action. The Howtons were quiet,
inoffensive people and stood well IN the
community. They were noted as good

A Suspicion That One of the En-

CRAIGS ROAD, QUEBEc, July 9.-In the
early hours this morning there occurred
an accident on the Grand Trunk road at
the station here that has seldom been ex-
celled in horror by any similar event in
Canadian annals. A special excursion
passenger train, rushing along in the
darkness, crashed into another train OF
the same kind preceding it, and killed
thirteen people and wounded thirty.
The dead are: Charles Bedard. mail
clerk, Richmond; Miss Bedard Rich

The trains that came in collision were
special excursion trains filled with pill
grims en- route from Sherbrooke, Richmond
and Windsor Mills to Lewis, where they
were to cross over to Quebec and proceed
to the shrine of st. Anne de Baupre. They
were following one another with an inter.
val of twenty minutes. The forward train
was making good time, having left Rich
mond at 10 o'clock the night before. On
the rear of this train was Pullman, in
which were the priests and others in charge
of the party, and it was in this car that
most of the loss of life occurred.
The first train reached this station, four
teen miles west of Lewis, about 8 o'clock
and stopped at the tank to take water.
The usual precautions were taken to avoid

danger against the following train Only
the trainmen were about and attending to
their duties. The Pullman in the rear was
in silence and the sleepers were unaware
of the terrible fate that was rushing upon
them.
Suddenly there was great crash, the
second train, coming at full speed, dashed
into the rear Pullman of the first section.
So great was the impetus of the colliding
train that the engine embedded itself in
the palace car and the latter plunged for
ward and partially telescoped the first
class car Immediately in front. Every
berth in the Pullman was wrecked and
some of the occupants killed never knew
what happened to them. They died sleep
ing. Others awoke to their horrible sur
roundings MANNED, bleeding and bruised,
conscious of little else but the agony that
racked them.
1t was an awful scene. The cries of the
wounded, the means of the dying, the out
pouring of passengers from cars that were
not badly damaged, the hurrying forms of
the uninjured trainmen with their flicker
ing lanterns all combined to make sight
seldom exceeded in tragic horrors.
The work of rescue was begun as soon as
possible. When the binding clouds of
steam had subsidized the trainmen, priests
and others got to work and the wounded
were taken out of the Pullman and first
class car and removed to temporary quar-
ters, where the women of the party at
tended as best they could to the wants of
the MANNED pilgrims. They tore off their
underclothing, made bandages for gaping
wounds and tried in the absence of enough
medical aid to go round to stop the flow of
blood and properly cleanse the wounds.
Word was at once sent to Montreal and an
order from there was sent to Lewis to send
out doctors from Quebec to attend the
wounded and a force of men to clear the
track. The special train reached here at
an early hour and all the wounded that
could be moved were placed on board and
sent to Lewis. where they could be cared
for in hospitals.
1t is hard to say where the blame for the
accident rests. 1t has been suggested that
Engineer Mcleod might have dozed off to
sleep, and thus having missed the warn
ing light was unconscious of his where
abouts. Indeed, that would seem to be
the only theory that could be advanced,
but strict investigation will be held at
once to determine where the responsibility
rests

W|LLWORK IN THE SLUMS
Bishop Potter'S Unique Pro-
gramme for His Annual
Outing.
Intends to Take Up His Residence
In a Tenement District Of
New York.

NEW YORK, n. Y, July 9.-Forsaking
the comforts of his residence in Washing
ton square north, and the spacious accom-
modations of the Episcopal mansion in
Lafayette place, and foregoing his Euro
pean tour or season at Newport, Bishop
Potter is about to take up his abode for
four succeeding weeks of the summer
| amid the slums and tenements of the old
Tenth Ward. No. 130 Stanton street, the
| Cathedral mission, formerly known as the
Epiphany House, will be the home of the
head of the diocese of New York for the
coming month.
There he will perform the duties which
deyolve upon the minister in charge of the
| mission, while the latter is absent in his
vacation.
In his address before the diocesan con-
vention last September, Bishop Potter told
| his clergy about the work being done in
| Stanton street for the downtown East Side,
and suggested to them that they arrange,
each one of them, to spend week or more
there every year, SO that they might be
conversant with the workings of this
most potent factor in bettering the condi-
ton of unfortunate humanity.
Without any flourish of trumpets, and
unknown to all but few of his most init
mate associates, Bishop Potter has quietly
so arranged his affairs that he may pass
four weeks in active work in the Stanton
street mission, and thus set an example to
his subordinates throughout the city. His
residence in the Cathedral mission will be-
gin the present week, and it is expected
that he will conduct the regular Thursday
evening services there tomorrow night at
o'clock.
The location of the Cathedral mission
for the work which it is carrying on is one
of the most favorable in the city.
The square mile, IN the center of which
the census, over $4,000 persons, and it is
said to be the most densely populated
square mile in the world.
In speaking of the Bishops plan a
prominent churchman said yesterday:
"In taking up his residence on Stanton
street Bishop Potter will do much to give
to the people of New Y ork an object lesson
of the meaning of the great cathedral
which is to crown the heights of Morning
side Park. We can no longer think of the
cathedral simply as a magnificent building
in which the church liturgy is to be rem
dered with all the accessory of dignifed
ceremonial. 1t becomes rather the heart
of the missionary endeavor, which minis
ters to high and low, rich and poor alike;
an endeavor which finds its inspiration
and power of continuance in worship"

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 9.-The an

patch to The CALL yesterday that George

urement, and that popular delegate from
the Golden City takes first prize of $500,

To-day was devoted to social reunion by
the marksmen and their friends at Glen
dale Park, and tomorrow the official score
will be announced and the prizes distrib-
uted Some of the California marksmen,
as already stated, are in New Haven as
guests of the Winchester Arms Company
to-day, and will be on hand tomorrow to
receive their prizes with the rest. On Sat-
urday all will return home, picking up en-
route George Helm, who will go to Utica
10 visit some friends tomorrow afternoon.
The others will devote the interval to sight
seeing in this vicinity.
In addition to the many prizes which
the delegation will carry back from New
York are two of the six handsome silver
wreaths presented by the New York Times
to the holders of the highest scores on
each target, value SIS, won by George
Helm with 75 points, the highest possible
score on the ring, and Adolph Strecker,
who made the record of 81 on the man
target. Apart from the intrinsic value of
these prizes, both men will have reason to
give them prominent place in their col
lections as mementos of records made at
the first National shapshooters' reunion,
and moreover from the fact that both are
duplicates OF worlds records already made
by the same pair-Helm's at San Fran
cisco two years ago and Strecker's at the
Milwaukee shoot last June.

this morning modified the sentence OF Eu-

reduced from six months to three. The
sentences are now as the court originally
imposed them. The sentences were made
cumulative, one to begin when the other
ended for technical reasons. in order that the

the men for the length of time prescribed,
and it has all along been intended to make
the sentences as originally imposed.

the last four to consider. The pension bill
was re-enacted', containing provisions
that pensions shall not be paid to nom
residents who are not citizens of the
United States, except for actual disabili-
ties incurred in the service, directing the
examining surgeons to state the ratings
to which they say the applicants are en-
titled and fixing the lowest rate of pension
at $6 a month. The diplomatic and con-
sular bill increased the salaries of several
representatives, and the Senate passed an
amendment authorizing the President to
contract for the laying of cable between
the Hawaiian Islands and the United
States, and to use $780, in the work,
an amendment which the House refused
to accept. The agricultural bill en-
powered the Secretary of Agriculture to
enforce rules for the inspection of live
cattle whose meat is intended for ship
ment abroad in any form, and regulations
to prevent the shipment of condemned
carcasses abroad, or from one station to
another, and fixing heavy penalty for
violation of such regulations.
Considerable legislation was included in
the sundry civil bill and much more was
attempted in the Senate by proposed
amendments. The completion of several
public buildings was provided for in the
bill as it passed the House and sums we're
added in the Senate for new buildings
