HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
PREPARATIONS FOR THE
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Candidates Are Hard mt Work for the
Big Event-Letter TO Theodore
Shockney-Visitors.

The wind-up of the week before the state
convention promises to be lively. Some of
the candidates are now on the ground, but
none has yet begun an active handshaking
campaign in hotel headquarters The Den
ison Hotel will as usual be headquarters
for the candidates. and the management is
getting ready to take care of a big crowd
AT state committee headquarters it is anr
nounced that things are practically in read
mess for the convention. Monday the car
penters and decorators will begin work at
Tomlinson Hall getting the big interior
ready for the events of Wednesday and
Thursday. The work of looking after the
decorating of the hall has been placed in
the hands Of a committee consisting of
Secretary Whitaker, of the state commit
tee, and Floyd A. Woods, Seventh district
chairman. Party leaders of the State say
that everything points to a most interest
ing convention. The unusually large num-
Der of candidates for most of the offices
will in itself bring a large crowd, as many
of the candidates will come with their dele
cations of boomers" Senators Fairbanks
and Beverage will both be here besides
the delegation in the lower house OF Con-
greSS.

NEARLY in BOILING LARD
BLOW FROM PIPE CHANGED COURSE
OF EDWARD DRYOR's FALL.
He Was working Over n Vat in Kim
Gan's Packing Plaintiffs Eel
lows Thought Him Dead.

Edward Dryor. aged thirty-three years. a
timers helper employed at Kingan's, had a
narrow escape from death at $40 o'clock
last night a fortunate blow from a fall
ing pipe saved him from death in a vat Of
boiling lard. Dryer received injuries from
the pipe, however, that may prove serious.
He was removing some large pipes from
the lard room and was standing on a plat
form above a vat. While removing a pipe
il suddenly swung around and hurled him
from the platform. Dryer plunged head
first toward the vat of boiling lard. At the
same moment the pipe struck him and
changed his course. He struck the edge Of
the vat and fell to the floor. ten feet below.
The pipe followed and struck his chest. He
was revived a few minutes later and was
taken home in the City Dispensary ambu-
lance.
A report gained circulation outside the
Kingan plant that a man had been boiled
alive in the vat. This was at first thought
to be true, as a number Of the workmen
say Dryer fall and thought he went into the
vat. The blow from the pipe saved him
from that horrible fate. He was found by
his fellows at the side of the vat with the
pipe lying'upon him.
When the ambulance reached Dryers
home, at No. 400 West Maryland street, the
report had preceded him that he was dead.
His mother ran out to meet the ambulance
and swOoned as the stretcher bearing her
son came to view. Her Joy was great when
she was revived and told that her son lived.

ture. that lasted until after 10 o'clock.
An orchestra furnished music for the din
ers.
After the course Mortimer lowering. who
sat ut the end of the table. assumed the

formed that habit in childhood and haven't
got out of il yet-Or in the no less vicious
crime of whispering.
w think a great deal of harmony in our
shop. We have pianos and pianolas, for
one thing, and think they are good bust
ness investments. The paintings that my
boys and girls see are harmony for their
eyes. the piano furnishes harmony for their
ears. the literature harmony for their I'M
derstanding. and l believe that il all works
out through their finger tips in doing bet
ter work than they were capable of doing
before.
one reason we get along so we'll in the
shop Is that know my men and women are
doing the best they can for me and L in
turn try to do the best l can for them. If
you would only get the idea in your heads
that when people are working for YOU they
are only doing all the work you would like
TO yourself but for lack of time, and would
so treat them, YOU would have the golden
rule i'm operation"
Mr.. Hubbard, DEPRESSING again. said that
there is only one sensible attitude TO take
in this world. Don't go out on the street
every day with a grim face. imagining that
every man has got it in for you and would
beat you out O. every cent you have got II
you would give him the chance. Don't keep
your eye constantly peeled for trouble step
out with a smile and kindly feeling for ev-
erybody in your heart. You don't need 10

Will shine out of your face anyway. L nave
got into the habit of feeling that there are
no bad people in the world: that the ones
the world calls bad are really good people
who have misdirected their energies"
Recurring to the work of the Roycrofters.
Mr.. Hubbard said that people are coming
more and more to want a few good and
beautiful things rather thar many tawdry
ones. His recipe for success is this: DO
something for somebody"

~CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
Two WeII-knOwn Louisiana Men Who
Wore the Gray.

A. r. 3lakely, proprietor of the st.
Charles Hotel at New Orleans. and Mayor
Capdevielle, OF that city, who are here with
the New Orleans delegation to the manu-
facturers' meeting and who have been
stopping at the Hotel English, will go to
Dallas, Tex, next week to attend the an
nual encampment of the United Confederate
Veterans. Both Blakely and Capdevielle
fought on the Confederate side. 1t is the
intention to try TO secure the next encamp-
msnt for New Orleans. The Dallas en-
campment will be held April p. % and p.
Mr.. Blakely was talking with some friends
last night and the topic turned to the atti-
tude of the Southern Confederacy toward
the Union. How do the people down there
feel about il now? ?" some one asked. The
i'm this declaration: The State of Louis
lana i'm proportion TO its size furnished
more men for the Spanish-American war
than any other State, and more Louisiana
soldiers were killed and wounded In the
Spanish-American war than from any other
State. The people of the South are faithful
to the Union"
TIL organization of United Confederate
Veterans occuDies the same relation In the
South that the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie does In the North. The Southern States
are kind TO the men who fought for them
and have prepared a comforta bic soldiers
home for them. The States also Issue pen
sions. Each State has it's own Memorial
day, which the veterans observe. Last Sun
day week ago was Louisiana's Memorial
day. On these days the graves of the Con-
federate dead are decorated and also those
of men who wore the blue wherever they
can be found

DO A LITTLE FLIRTING
CARPENTERS AND CONTRACTORS
DISCUSS DIFFERENCES.
tion-IntimatiOn that 1t VIII
Not Last Long.

The carpenters strike presented a humor-
Gus phase yesterday when. after one days
idleness and the positive stand taken. by
both sides that no concessions would be
granted and that either side would give the
other a rest for a while, they met in joint
conference and attempted to settle differ
ences. The General Contractors Associa-
ton appointed an arbitration committee
with Instructions to act when it became
necessary" and placed the limit at two or
three weeks. or when the carpenters tired
of striking and would be reasonable" On
the other hand, the union gave out the in
formation that the members would not
mind a few days or weeks rest, and that
they could stay out as long as the contrac-
tors choose to refuse the scale. The con-
tractors association, which has for several
weeks been a small organization. grew like
a mushroom when the carpenters struck
and became organized.
Business Agent Travis, of the carpenters
unions, yesterday saw some of the contrac-
tors who were not averse to being seen and
said something about the conference COM
mittee. Almost like magic the arbitration
committee of the contractors appeared and
il did not take a corps of messenger boys to
summon the committee of the carpenters.
In another brief interval both committees
were shyly glancing at each other in Sho-
Ver's Hall, each waiting for the other to do
something. The carpenters opened the bout
by presenting their scale, a demand for 3712
cents an hour, representing an increase in
wages of 3 cents on the hour. The contrac-
tors drew their skirts together as ii they
had never heard of such a thing before, and
after due consideration submitted a counter
DrODOSltlOn placing the maximum scale at
IS cents ar hour, which proved an equal
tors moved that their scale be substituted
for that of the carpenters and a %good-hu-
more discussion followed. Each side had
five votes and when the question was put
the vote was a tie. A discussion and vote
was then taken on the proposition of the
carpenters with the same result. The con-
ference committees then exchanged smiles
and adjourned until it is necessary for
another meeting.
The process of reporting back to their re-
Spective organizations was then carried out
by the carpenters. The carpenters hall
was packed to receive the report of the
committee, and after the result had been
announced a unanimous vote was taken to
not yet held a meeting to receive the report
of their committee. The carpenters last
night said that they would never go to
work at the maximum scale of IS cents,
and the contractors said that the carpen-
ters could strike till the Fourth of July if
they wanted to for their minimum of 3T15
cents an hour. but both sides confidently
expressed the belief that a settlement is not
far distant.

HAMILTON COUNTY MAN.
Advance Herald of a ega i'm
David Sherrick's Interest.

Linneaus S. Baldwin, of Hamilton county,
is at the Denison, having arrived yesterday
in advance of a party Of boomers who,
he says. will be here in the interest of
David Sherrick, candidate for auditor of
state. 1.-THE only demonstration we intend
to make" said Mr.. Baldwin, lis to see that
Mr.. Sherrick is nominated" Baldwin made
the race in the Ninth district against Rep
resentative Lands for the congressional
nomination. In his case a mass convention
at Noblesville gave him the right to select
a committee which would name the Hamil-
ton county delegates to the congressional
convention. This was equivalent to permit
ting the candidate TO name his own dele
gates, a question which is just now being
discussed considerably. Some believe this
is a bad practice and IL has been suggested
that the state convention may deal with
the question and oppose II by resolution. Il
can see no reason why the state convention
should pay any attention whatever to such
a matter said Mr.. Baldwin yesterday
evening. "In the first place, a resolution Of
that character could have no binding force
on the different counties In the matter of
the selection of delegates for any conven-
ton. A state convention that would under
take TO resolve against such a method
should go further and prescribe the method
to be pursued in making delegates. This, 1t
seems TO me, would be altogether imprac-
ticable because of the different conditions
existing in different counties. In the next
place, If an overwhelming majority of the
Republicans in a county should favor one
of her citizens for an office, there is no good
reason why such a county should not be
permitted to adopt the method that would
give her candidate the strongest and best
delegation possible. AS a rule 1 do rot
think il advisable for a county to place the
power of selecting delegates in the hands Of
candidates, but there are circumstance
when that method is the best. Where dele
gates are selected in county township or
precinct mass conventions. il too frequently
happens that men are selected who go 10
the convention and misrepresent rather
than represent those who made them dele
gates, and it is often the case that such
men secure such positions under false color.
Certainly this method is not full of virtues
to the exclusion of everything else"

HUNDREDS OF LETTERS.
Result of n short Interview with
Theodore Shockney.

Theodore OF Union city. has
been much disturbed lately. For several
days he has been kept pretty busy reading
letters Of congratulation. He should not
have minded one or two. but when they
came by the hundreds he drew the line.
Some time ago. while spending a few hours
in Indianapolis. Mr.. Shockney was inter
viewed. In his talk he said he was much
out OF patience with the manner in which
Marion county selected her delegates TO
state conventions. He pointed out that
while nearly every other county In the
State selects delegates in ample time for
the candidates TO see them. Marion county
waits until a day or two before the con-
vention. The time before the convention
Is so short then that the outside candidates
have little opportunity 10 see the dele
gates of this county. Mr.. ShOckney says
that since this interview came out he has
received a hundred letters from candidates
and their friends over the State congratu-
lating him on having the courage TO speak
