Columbus, O., May 24.-The pre-
Iiminary meetings of the Democratic
state convention were unusually animat-
ed today, owing to contests from the
larger conventions involving 200 dele
gates and nine members of the committee

especially by the selections of members
of the committees at the district meet

When the hold-over state central COM
mittee was selected last year at the con-
yeEtion that nominated Mayor Tom L.
Johnson of Cleveland for governor, it was
composed largely of johnson men, but
recently this committee acted so independ-
e1stly that there was great doubt today as
to what it would do with the unusually
large number of contested seats. At a
recent meeting this committee selected K.
l.. Starr Of Bryan for temporary chair
man Of the convention and other Hearst
men for temporary officers, although
Mayor Johnson was opposed to Hearst.
Even the two state committeeman from
Cleveland voted against the Hearst or

REVIVE OLD MYSTERY.
Investigation Of Battling Indiana Murders
to BE Observation-Disclosures Have
Important Clues.

Windfall, Ind, May 24.-Investigation
of the murders, a year ago, of Lewis
Yeager and Francis Sutton at Hemlock,
a village near here, has been begun
again, and this time the authorities be-
lieve they have clue which will lead to
the arrest of the guilty parties.
Both young men were found dead with
sunshot wounds in their heads Yeager
was killed first and the murder of Sutton
came two weeks later. Each had been
calling on his sweetheart in Hemlock the
evening before the tragedy occurred, and
the similarity Of the crimes led the au-
thorities to believe they were committed
by the same person.
At the time of the murders two ar
rests were made, but the suspects were
released. A reward of $1,000 was of
fered for the arrest Of the murderer, but
this was afterward recalled. 1t will
probably be offered again.

Having q Picnic.

There is something particularly en-
joyable about going to a picnic. The
very word Picnic brings pleasant an
ticipations Of good time The idea
of going out to the woods and fields or
down by some brook or lake, with
luncheon to be served on the grass and
under the trees, has peculiar fasciEa-
ton. The fresh air and exercise CON
tribute to give hearty appetite to all
and everything at luncheon seems far
better than the finest course dinner
that a French chef ever served.
Wooden dishes supplant Dresden
china, and paper boxes silver trays,
when the good things to eat' are
spread upon the ground.
Pic-Nics are never complete without
the sandwiches, sweet white bread
with generous layer Of meat be-
tween. Libbys canned meats are ideal
for pic-nics and outings. The cans are
so easily opened and the contents so
fresh and palatable that 10 picnic is Il
