TO BE HELD IN MILWAUKEE
The National League Of Republican
Clubs will Meet on Au-
gust 25.

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. TO- Especial. 1.-The
executive committee of the National
League of Republican clubs met at the
Auditorium headquarters today and de-
cided to hold the annual convention at
Milwaukee August 1921. At that time the
Republican presidential campaign will be
officially opened. Plans are being made
to have this convention the greatest dem
onstration known in the history of the
league, and no pains will be spared to
start the st. Louis nominees off with a
mighty hurrah.
It was regarded as a wise move to de-
lay the annual convention of the league
until after the st. Louis convention on
the ground that no charge could be made
that the organization was booming any
particular Republican candidate for the
presidential nomination.
The meeting of the executive commit
tee is held for the purpose of securing
money to carry on the campaign this
year. Hitherto there has been no lack
of funds, Or rather very little difficulty
in securing all the money needed and
no effort has been made until today to
arrange for the financial end of the
work. Secretary Bowling says that there
is no definite plan before the committee.
The work will be concluded with a SEES

DAMAGING TESTIMONY.
Several Witnesses Called in the
Clayton Inquest at Hough-
ton Mich.

Houghton, Mich, Feb. 1S.-[Special.l
Interest in the Clayton inquest has
not abated in the least Long before the
time set for the opening of court Justice
Brands large and spacious room was
crowded and many were unable to gain
admission. Clayton was not brought
down from the Jail as Sheriff Dunn
thinks he is much safer behind the bars
than in crowded courtroom where
couple of hundred men are present. The
feeling against Clayton has not decreased
any. but instead as the days pass by
grows much stronger.
Louis Voetsch. a nightwatchman, was
the first witness called. He testified that
he was called to Clayton's restaurant
Christmas eve to quiet Clayton who was
intoxicated and threatening to kill his
wife, child and everybody else that he
came in contact with. When he saw the
officer he Quieted down.
Leo Hobba, II years old, was the next
witness. He sells papers and Clayton
used to send his money away for them
lie was III the restaurant Christmas eve
and saw Clayton try to hit his wife be-
cause she had collected some money
from some persons who had dined there
lie was there again on the evening of
February 1 and saw Clayton whip his
child and catch her by the throat and
say: D you, do you want to die"
The child was nearly choked to death.
Two men named Meyers and Strobel
were in the restaurant at the time.
Mrs. Clayton was next called and 200
pairs of eyes carefully watched every
move. She testified that her full name
is Mely Denoyer Clayton and her hus-
bands name is John Ward Clayton.
She was married to him two years ago
January 20 last Daisy was weak
creature and always sick No physi-
clan was called until she fell and broke
her hip. At that time the physician
prescribed for her general health and
also set the broken bones. No physician
was called lately, although the child was
known to have been very sick. The
witness spoke to Clayton about it and he
said: whats the use, she won't take
any medicine She often saw Clayton
whip the child. He used a thin narrow
strap and also saw him use ruler and
once hairbrush. He told me at two
different times that if it wasn't for fear
of the law and being found out he would
kill me.

LEAPED TO DEATH.
Frenzied Girls Jump from Fac
tory Windows.
Twenty or More Lives Are Supposed to
Have Been Lost.

Troy, N. Y, Feb. 1S.-A small boy
carelessly throwing match into a pile
of oily waste, blazing mass of flames,
800 girls and women frenzied with
fright, fighting for life as the flames
chased them like hungry tongues, was
the beginning of a fire last night that
consumed thousands of dollars worth of
property, and caused the destruction of
many lives.
The Dead and Injured.
Following is the list of unfortunates
obtainable up to IL o'clock. The dead:

Missing and probably dead:
MAMIE DANKS
KATIE O'CONNOR
MISS O'NEILL
MISS HERBERSCHER.
From the outside of the high building,
the first notice Of impending disaster was
the sight of a body of girls as they
rushed out upon the fire escapes from the
windows, those who were more fortunate
crowding out the entrance Following
them was a mass of smoke with flashes
of flame. Then the mass of frenzied
humanity, finding the egresses TOO small
for instant escape, began climbing over
the sides of the escapes, and bundles of
clothing filed with writing humanity
dropped at the feet of Mortified passersby.
Within twenty minutes after the fire
started, there were three dead women
laid upon the floor of an adjoining store
and at least a dozen burned and manned
girls and women taken to the hospital or
to their homes.
Twenty Are Missing.
Of the $50 girls and women in the
building, it is presumed that at sleast q
half dozen are in the ruins, for it is inn
possible to locate all, and the number
fixed at late writing at twenty may be
exaggerated.

ROBBERS IN A BANK.
Shoot at a San Francisco Cashier
and Make Way with About
$500.

San Francisco. CAL, Feb. 1S.-Three
masked men entered the Market Street
bank, small institution in the Spreck-
els building, shortly after 10 a. m. today,
and ordered Cashier Hopkins and Book
keeper Hayhurst to throw up their
hands. Hopkins, who was at the count
er, refused and one robber fired, the bull
let passing his head, but striking Meth
err official. The robbers then climbed
through the hole in the wire screen at
the cashiers window and seized the two
bank officials and hustled them into the
vault. A piece of carpet caught in the
door of the vault and the robbers did
not take time to fasten the vault door
Hastily dumping a pile of gold on the
cashiers counter into a sack, they es-
capped. Although Market street was
crowded with passing people the robbers
got away. 1t is supposed they secured
only $780,

MAY SMITHS STORY.
Louisville Girl Says the Cincinnati
Murderers Made Fatal
Admissions.

Cincinnati, O., Feb 19-Two morning
papers publish a startling statement
made to them by Miss May Smith of
Louisville, who is acquainted with the
accused murderers Walling and Jackson.
She says she was in Cincinnati January
IA and took supper with Jackson at
Heider's restaurant. Jackson told her
that his friend, Will Wood, at Green
castle, Ind, had got a girl into trouble;
that Wood was going to send the girl
here and he would put her out OF the
way.
Miss Smith says she cautioned Jack
son of the danger of discovery in such
an enterprise. He said he was too smart
to be discovered. Miss Smith also states
that after the murder Jackson wrote to
her saying that he had disposed of the
The long dash in the letter was left
for Miss Smith to fill in from memory
of the conversation at Heider's restaU-
rant on January Il. She says that she
left that letter in Louisville securely
hidden. If that letter in Jackson's hand
writing can be obtained it will be dam
aging evidence, and if what she says
about it's hiding place is true the letter
will be had tomorrow.
Sheriff Plummer announces positively
that he will not undertake to remove
Jackson and Mailing from the Jail in
this city until after the hearing set for
February p in the police court.
