Goes Ahead of the Chief
Executive on Thir-
tieth Ballot.
DENEEN IS STILL THIRD
Convention in Progress in
Ohio-New Hampshire
lndorseS President.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May I7.-At Re-
publican State convention the first bal
lot this morning was as follows: Low
den, 4sai Yates, 4s7; Deneen, 3s4;
Hamhn, III; Warner, a; Sherman, 81;
Pierce, ri.
The thirty-frst ballot resulted:
Yates, 43I; Lowden, 47s; Deneen, ssa;
Hamlin, Io7; Sherman, so; Warner. sa;
Pierce, "a.
The thirty-second ballot was expect
ed to show still further gains for Low
den, but they did not materiaiize, and
his vote is the same as on the preced-
ing ballot.
The vote was: Yates, 4ae; Lowden,
47s; Deneen, 3ss; Hamlin, Ioo; War
ner, g.; Sherman, SO; Pierce, ~.
SPRINGFIELD. Ill. May 1.-THE Re,
publican State convention resumed its
work this morning at 10 O'Clock.
The delegates filed into the hall. un,
prepared to nominate q governor. An
entire night was spent in a fruitless en-
deavor to reach an agreement or com
oination that would bring about break.
None Will Back Out.
None OF the candidates considered IL
his duty TO withdraw. Governor Yates
contended he Is high man, and IL is
not customary for the high man to get
out OF the way for lesser strength.
Deneen claimed he had received a ma
jority of the Cook county votes, and
Cook county wants governor, there
fore he cannot leave the track
Lowden says If the Republicans of the
State and Cook county had had then
way untrammeled by false issues they
would have chosen him and he sees 40
reason for withdrawing.
Not in the Way.
Hamlin, Warner, and Sherman. each
with a small block Of delegates, say
their strength is not now material. If
their combined vote were thrown 10
enough to nominate him.
I'VE are doing no one any harm. and
are not contributing to the deadlock;
therefore we will stay in the field"
A Unique Situation.
Yates occupies a position OF consider
able strength. So long as the three high
candidates remain as now. the governor
enjoys distinction peculiar in the his
tory of Illinois politics.
If he should throw his votes to Deneen,
then Lowden would throw his TO Yates
TO prevent Deneen's nomination. With
votes coming his way. Yates would not
care 10 continue delivery of his own to
some other candidate.
The Other Way About.
II Yates should begin to throw his
votes TO Lowden. the Deneen men would
run to the governor for the sake of
defeating Lowden, and again Yates
would get back all he was giving The
deadlock would still be on.
If Deneen should attempt to nominate
Yates, many OF his men would desert
him. and the Lowden men would con-
centrate on Hamlin. who. in that event
would get some Deneen votes and the
Sherman and Pierce votes.
1t is this innumerable host of possible
combinations. all of them weighted with
contingencies that cannot be foretold.
that makes the situation here of great
interest.
The proposition TO go outside the pres
ent list of candidates and take up
new man does not meet with approval.
II would be equivalent to the withdraw
al of the nraSanf canGldafas

NIGHT IN CELL

Quarrel With Spouse Very
Costly Venture.
ASSAULTED THE POLICEMAN
In Police Court He Is Fined S11o With
Alternative Of Seven
Months in Jail.

Needles and pins; needles and pins;
when man marries his trouble begins
This is an old adage. but it is just as
true today as it was when the express
sion was first coined, as Charles Weiss
can bear witness.
Welded last evening. locked up IN a
cell at the First precinct police station
all night, and fined $40 or seven months
in jail, Is the experience which Weiss
passed through within the past twenty
four hours.
While Weiss wedding festivities were
in progress at SO7 D Street northwest,
beer was handed out freely TO the
guests. When the first supply of beer
was consumed the newly made hus-
band started out to get more. His blush
ing bride believed him TO be about
three sheets in the wind" and refused
to let him go out. She followed him to
the bottom Of the stairs, imploring him
not to go, and swinging to his coat
tails. He consigned her to parts uneX-
plored by the living, and the wife
screamed.

harm, her little sister went to a third
floor window and screamed Murder

Richard Scribner and William Harris

screams and much profanity in the hall

her husband, shut the door and was
standing against II, while he was filling
the air with imprecationS and threats
OF what he would do. Scribner informed
Policeman Kleindinst. of the First pre-
cinct. of the noises and screams he had
heard, and the policeman hurried to the

"If all the States can show as harmo-

So said Senator McComas, who called
on the President this morning 10 report

convention. He was able to assure the
President that the convention developed
a state Of harmony which was a gen

which has undoubtedly had the tendency
TO unite the Republican ranks. Senator

of Baltimore, both of whom had served
as Postmaster General under Mckinley.
Mr.. Smith, who had been summoned to
Washington as the first witness for yes
terday's session. took the stand at the
opening OF the trial today. He told of
the routine of his former Office and de-
seribed how the incumbent necessarily
had to rely upon other officials to in
form him about details in such matters

Smith proved plain. straightforward

by the legal fntrfcacies arranged by the
distinguished special counsel for the

Join kuroki,

Toxic, Sept. 6.-The Russian force
confronting Oyama's left and center
continues slowly to give ground in re-
treat, and is crossing to the right bank
of the Taitse river. A portion of the
Russian army occupied a line of de-
Tense works extending northwest from
a point south of Lao Yang. The Rus
slams also hold an eminence northeast
Of Nutchwang. on the right bank of
the Taitse. This evidently is Intended
to shield the general retreat of both
the left and center.
The Japanese armies continued to
press the Russians yesterday. They
moved forward n occupied q line ex-
tending from Taitepjf to Yanchial-
intzu. Marquis Oyama telegraphs that
he hopes they will reach the right bank
of the Taitse this morning.
Genera Kuroki, after serious fight
ing. succeeded yesterday in taking a
portion of an eminence near Heiying-
tai. The Russians again appear to be
concentrating in the vicinity of the
Yentai coal mines, twelve miles north
east Of Lao Yang. Possibly another
great battle will occur there. The pres
ent trend OF movements indicates that
possibly h Japanese will move past
Lao Yang temporarily. leaving the
city untouched.
