WANTED ELsEwHERE.
Colyer Young Lawyer is Wanted in
 Various Places.

Washington. Aug. 2z.-(Speciai.) )--Ar- thur 8. Colyer, the one-time Nashville youth, who is in trouble here, and is be- ginning to serve a sentence of i've months on the District farm, Is also wanted In Richmond, In Florida and at Athens. Ga, for obtaining money with worthless checks.
 Young Colyer last fall ordered S worth of flowers and gave the florist q check for 50 receiving the change. He went away and was gone for some time when he met the florist who told him the check was not paid. Coiyer expressed great surprise, but said when he had bought the flowers he went to the bank and drew out his balance thinking of course the check had been presented and paid. He so well re-eetablished confidence with the florist that he. got him to cash another check for $60 allowing him to take out $25. It was the discovery of the worth lessness of the last check which caused his arrest.
 in Florida he passed Cor Governor Beckham of Kentucky and was arrested at a pink tea. At Richmond he enjoyed the horse show and the hospitafities of the Hotel Jefferson on iilegitinately obs tafned funds. and the Virginia authorities want him. At Athens. Ga, there is do- mand for his apprehension for like trans actions. One of Colyer's latest exploits was to engage a traveIing physician fin Virginia who lent -Colyer money quite freely. Nearing Nashville Colyer left his doctor ostensibly to get more cash in Nashville and reimburse his friend. The doctor did not see him again.

FIGHT IN OHIO
CONTEST BETWEEN JOHNSON AND ZIMMERMAN UNI
 DECIDED.
Neither Has Enough Votes in the Convention to Secure Guberna- torial Nomination on
 First Ballot.

Cincinnati, Aug. 22.-The county con ventions in Ohio to-day that selected dele gates to the Democratic State Convention at Columbus next Tuesday and Wedncs- day, indicate an unusually close and bit ter contest for the head of the ticket.
 As there are only two candidates for the gubernatoTial nomination, Mayor Tom L. Johnson Of Cleveland, and Hon. John L. Zimmerman of Springfield. there will be only one ballot. but both sides will no doubt continue the nomination until the result of that ballot is announced. It Is known tonight that neither Johnson nor Zimmerman has enough delegates instructed or committed to nominate. and that the result may depend upon the set. clement of contests from half a dozen counties. This makes the make up of the committee on credentials 0s decisive importance. The preliminary work of the convention at Columbus will be more in- terest than usual in the selection of all the committees.
 Johnson is the nominee, he must con- trol also the committee on resolutions, as he could not run on a platform con- structed by the so-called Zimmerman conservatives" He is also interested in the rules and order of business, as he wants John w. BookwaIter of Spring field, endorsed for United States Senator to succeed Mark Hanna while Zimmer- man wants no Senatorial endorsement.
 As Zimmerman and BookWalter both reside at Springfield and want the Sem atorial endorsement to come up under the order of business before nominations for State offices. The Zimmerman men want the State ticket named first. At the same time Johnson. as a recognized candidate for the presidency, wants control of the new State Central Committee that holds over until next year. The members of all these committees are selected Tues day and the one winning them, especial ly In securing a majority of the Commit tee on Credentials to control the conven- ton on Wednesday.

WORK OF THE PRESS
CLEVELAND WRITES OF ITS
 CONSCIENTIOUS CONDUCT.
Highly Endorses Proposed School oi Journalism to Be Founded by Joseph Pulitzer at Colum-
 bia University.

New York, Aug. 22.-Former President Grover Cleveland has sent to The World the following letter on the proposed school of journalism:
 Tt has been @ long time since any movement of a semi-public nature has aroused my enthusiasm as greatly as has MT. Pulitser's Journalistic school enter prise. I see in its success~the ultimate extinction of the vexatious antagonism now existing between the haphAzard oon- duct of newspapers in their reach after news and a large section of the public and a release of public mon from annoyanoes which 1t is hard to defend themselves.
 T do not believe exaggeFate when say that the high stand and conscientious conduct of the public press Is one of the most important agencies of the preserva- ton of the best elements of our national character and one of the surest gnaran- tees of ouE national integrity and per- petuity.
 with Mir Pulitzer, whose journalistic ex- perIences and thorough knowledge of what Journalistic standards should be. are so complete and whose characteristic nb- erality has been so abundantly shown in setting 1t on foot, not only does him great honor, but should insure it's sue cess.
 Every decent citizen should bid him God speed; and he himself could not wish a prouder monument to his memory than to have it said of him that he founded a Journalistic school. whose ob- ject, as he aptly expresses it, is not merely to enlarge and improve the op- portunities that are open to young men for a start in life, but to raise and fix the character and standards of the press itself as a moral teacher and a promo ter of that publicity which makes for better government and for the advance ment of civilization"

SALISBURY IS DEAD
GREAT coNsERvATIvE PASSED
 PEACEFULLY AWAY.
Death Occurred on 5Oth Anniver- sary of His Entry Into Pub
 lie Life--Viscount Cran-
 borne Succeeds to Title

London. Aug. 22.-Lord Salisbury died peacefully at 9:05 o'clock tonight. Dur ing the past forty-eight hours the end was seen to be inevitable. the great frame of Engiand's former premier being sus- tatned only by the constant use of oxy- gen. Even the administration Of oxy. gen failed of effect as the evening ad- vanced. and soon after the shadows had crept up from the valley and enshrouded the dull red walls of Hatfield house, the distinguished statesman, making the last effort of his life. turned slightly towards his favorite daughter. Lady Gwendolyne Cecil. who was kneeling beside him, and then quietly breathed hts last
 Lord Edward Cecil had been warned early this afternoon by telegraph that the end was near. All the other members of his lordship's family had gathered at the bedside. The village of Hatfield, which still retains many features of the feudal period. was filled with anxious residents awaiting news of his lordship's demise. Soon thereafter the announce ment. the bell from the tower above toll ed slowly and the villagers at the street corners uncovered in acknowledgement to the passing of their neighbor and friend, Engiand's great statesman.
 Viscount Cranborne, who now assumes the title of Marquis of Salisburg, inme- diately notified King Edward and Queen Alexandra and others. including Lord Edward Cecil the soldier son of Lord Salisbury. who is now in Egypt. and who was the only child of the Marquis ab- sent from the death bed Soon messages of coincidence began coming in and fhe little telegraph office at Hatfield was swanped with unprecedented business.
 The death of Lord Salisbury occurred on the fiftieth anniversary of his entry into public life as member of the House of Commons for Stamford.
 The elevation of Lord CranboEne to the House of Lords ceeated a vacancy In the Rochester district and probably win en- tail the selection of new under aecre- tary of foreign affairs. The ex-premier, though retired from political life. was an important figure in many public ways. He was q warden of the icfnque ports. high steward of Westminster and chan cellor of Oxford University. His death places an order of Knight Of the Garter at the disposal of King Edward

"TnE BLAZE In THE BALKANS
Article by DIR. Maxey in Current
Magazine.

Professor Edwin Maxey, now Of
the law department of the University
writes instructively of "The Blaze
in the Balkans" in Gunton's Maya
zine for October. He sets forth the
present situation and it's probable
results, with force and clearness.
Concerning the situation in Turkey
he says in part
Force is the only means which
appeals to q Turk. Had Russia
been permitted to enforce against
Turkey the terms of the treaty of
San Stefano, the power of the latter
in Europe would now be negligible
quantity. She was not permitted to
do this because the other powers
could not make such action on her
part harmonic with the political
arithmetic of their own interests.
But Russian Intervention single
handed may yet be considered so
undesirable as to drive the powers
into JOINT Intervention, the natural
result of which would be the forma-
ton of buffer state in the Balkans
with its neutrality guaranteed as is
that OF Belgium and Switzerland.
This would be the most expedient
and by far the most humane method
of bringing order out of the anarchy.

DR.. COMPTON
A Leader in Raising Funds For
Superannuated Ministers.


Mr.. Sturgiss' Example Has Good
Effects Being Doomed For Lay
Delegate to National Conference at
Los Angeles-Stafistics for the Year.
The fifty-seventh annual NJ. E.
conference OF the state of West Ylr-
ginia went into session at Wheeling
Tuesday.
The morning session was presided
over by Bishop MalIalieu and some
very important work was done, es-
pecialiy that of raising funds for
superannuated ministers. The col
lection was started and moved
slowly for only an instant. In about
fifteen minutes over $2,700 had been
raised. This subject received a
great deal of attention and the work
was taken up with a will bv all the
delegates in attendance.
A motion was made by one of the
delegates to set aside the first Sab
bath of every December as day of
offering for the West Virginia con
ference.
DIR. Compton related how Hon.
George G. Sturgiss had made prop
osition to give him 81, 900 II a like
amount was raised by him during
the year. The effort had been made,
articles written for the papers and the
subject fully brought before the peo-
pie. DIR. Compton still needed, aUd
asked the conference for $500, and
was almost overwhelmed by the in
slant and hearty response. In short
time 81, 760 was subscribed. Adding
this to the amount DIR. Compton had
in hand makes 81, $50 pledged this
year to the fund.
The Wheeling telegraps says:
Honorable George e. Sturgiss, OF
Morgantown, will arrive in this city
tonight to attend the NJ. e. confer
ence now 10 session Mr.. Sturgiss is
a lay delegate from Morgantown.
His friends hope that he may be
elected one of the delegated to attend
the national NJ. e. conference at Los
Angeles, CAL, in May of 1904. There
are to be ten delegates elected; FIVE
ministers and five laymen. There is
large contingent in the following Of
Mr.. Sturgiss and it is thought by
many that be will be elected.
The statistics OF this years report
are as follows: Increase in number of
churches over last year, 5; increase 10
number of members over last year,
1926; increase in number of Sabbath
schools, IL; increase 10 number OF
conversations, 10; increase in minis
terial support, Sl13, 100; increase in
regular benevolence, $500.
Mr.. Sturgiss could not go to Wheel
ing. He is counsel for Senator FL
kins in several important matters
which are now being handled, aud
could not get away at the time. Mr..
Mr.. James A. Davis. his alternate,
went in his place.
