being on Simpsons side in the oontro-
versey with Schley, but bis letter of
ceusure to Captain Chadwick for hav-

such favoritism. It was one OF the

made the criticism to newspaper man

quieted down, Mr.. Stewart seriously
expressed the opinion that it WAS very
difficult to draw . line between the
good and bad trusts, but that compe-
tition, If left untrammeled, would give
the people their best opportunity to

THE BECKHAM MEN
 APPEAR CONFIDENT
Candidates and Their Workers
 Are All On Hand
THE GOEBEL ELECTION LAW
Will Play Promint Part in the Conven- tion-Beckham's Followers Are Trying to Prevent the
 Threatened Clash

Lexington, Ky, July 1S-The delegates are not all here today for the Democratic State Convention tomorrow, but the can didates and their workers are all on hand. A large delegation of State officials and others came with Governor Beckham from Frankfort, while the friends of McCreary, Black, Tarvn, Lewis, Smith, Garnett and Pryor are also here. Judge Black has the most aggressive anti-Beckham delegation here for him.
 It is thought that Beckham will have less trouble with the contests before the con- mittee on credentials, and with both the temporary and the permanent organization of the convention than he will have with the committee on resolutions. The plat form will be adopted before the nomination of Governor is made, and if the modifica- tion of the Goebel election law is not satis- factory there may be a movement on the floor of the convention to change 1t.
 If a minority report on resolutions is adopted over the majority report that the Beckham men expect to submit, then the field of candidates against Beckham will make a desperate fight. They admit that their hope lies in the differences between the Beckham delegates on this plank in the platform and the demoralization of the Beckham forces that may follow the re- port on the resolutions.
 Meantime the Beckham men are feeling the pulse of the convention very carefully with view to preventing any trouble over the resolutions and in that event they eX- pect clear sailing.
 The Beckham men will present Judge Robbins as temporary chairman and the opposition will move to submit Judge Peak.
 If bea ten on this and on all the order Of business and the reports of the committees it is not likely that the opposition will pre- sent the names of any of those in the field against Beckham.
 Senator Blackburn is working for Judge Lewis for Governor, and there is an army of untaineers here for Judge Black, while ex-Governor McCreary is prospec- tive candidate of more than the usual dark horse class. The opposition insists that Governor Beckham is not only com mitted to the Goebel election law, but that he also represents all that has been charged against the party during the past eventful year. Those advocating "a new departure and new man. say that the parts will be on the defensive with Beckham, who could be no stronger than Goebel under the same election law and the same other condi- tions, while with a new man and with a plank for the modification of the Goebel election law the party would be more united and aggressive.

SEVENTY PERSONS
 DIED FROM HEAT As Many More Stricken Ones Are in the New York
 Hospitals.

New York, July 1S.-The heat today con- tributed toward the death of more than seventy people in this vicinity, as many more stricken ones are in the hospital and some of them will succumb before the night is over. More than half the fatalities was among babies and little children, and there is now about forty bodies of the lit- tie ones lying at the morgue at Bellevue. This WIS the third day of the spell of in- tense heat. Late tonight the temperature moderated. Early this morning the sun began its deadly work and before the day was fairly we'll started the hospitals were busy.
 On the streets the temperature ranged from 93 to 105, and the official record from the weather bureau was 94 shortly before o'clock.
 One death was from an attempt at suicide made while the subject was crazed with the heat. Many little children were badly hurt by falls from fire escapes on which they had crawled for relief from the op- pressiVe weather.

Chinese Make Seriou, Preparations

St. Petersburg, July 1S.-Reports have been received by the Russian general staff from the Amur district showing that the Chinese have made serious preparations there and are now concentrated on the railway line from Aigun to Saghalien They are well supplied with artillery and have large quantities of munitions.
 The Russian general, Gribovski after reconnoitering the district, returned to Blagonvetschensk, capital of the province of Amur, on Monday
 Other official reports confirm the serious news of the stoppage of the work on the Manchurian railway owing to Chinese att tacks, especially at Charbin, where an at- tack by four hundred Chinese was repulsed on January 9.

THE CHINESE HAVE
 INVADED SIBERIA This Will Greatly Complicate the
 Situation THE RUSSIANS ORDERED OUT This Means Giving Russia an Addi- tional Excuse to Make an Isolated Attack on lPekin-Extreme
 Uneasiness Is Felt.
THE RUSSIANS ORDERED OUT

London, July 1S.-If the news of China invasion of Siberia proves true 1t will, ot course, immensely complicate the situation from the international point of view. As stated in the Associated Press St. Peters, burg dispatch of July 13, the Chinese had already peremptorly ordered all Russians to quit Manchuria, but no one imagined they would be audacious enough to go out side of their own country and attack Rus sian territory. Such an attack, II 1t mas been made, of course constitutes in itself declaration of war. rendering formal noti- fication needless.
 A separate attack by the Chinese on Rus sia means giving Russia, according to the views expressed in Europe, additional eX- cuse for an isolated descent on Pekln, ana an additional claim to assert greater ln- fiuence than the other powers and greater compensation when the time of settlement arrives. Hence, an extreme uneasness has been created in the Chancellores by this latest development.
 As to the latest Chinese assurances Of the safety of the European Legations at Pekin, they are not credited here. On the con trary, it is believed thees assurances have been dictated by desire to save the native city of Tien Tsin. The Associated Press correspondent at Shanghai wires, under date of July Is, that there is hardly doubt that Sheng, the Chinese Minister of Tele- graphs, is withholding information in his possession The news of the massacre as already cabled to ,le United States may be taken as correct.
 The dispatch adds that there is evidence that the Woo Sung forts Cat the mouth of the Woo Sung river and ten miles north of supplied with large quantities of ammuni- tion.
 It is hoped in London that the landing of 2, 900 Japanese troops, which it is expected will be effected today, and the arrival of Indian troops will enable the allies to rein force Shanghai.
 Admiral Alexieff reports a fight July 14 on the Pei Ho river near Taku, between reconnoitering body of Russians and Chinese, in which several Russians were killed.
 A dispatch from Shanghai today reports five cruisers of the allies fleet, including the British cruiser Terrible, reconnoitered at Shanghai, Kuan, July IT, and found the harbor lighted and forts intact and but few Chinese visible.
 The dispatch adds that 1t was intended to Lombard the forts, but the fleet refrained and stood by ready for action in case the forts showed signs of activity. The dis patch adds that eight warships are lying off the native city of Shanghai and that nine others are between Shanghai and Woo Sung
