Springfield, and with Senators Cullom and
Hopkins and Congressman Lorimer LETT the
stand. 1t was stated that the leaders were
going into a conference and that an
effort would be made to get the rival
gubernatorial candidates together and have
them settle the fight. There had been
efforts made to bring about such an agree

candidates refusing to pool issues so long

There were few important changes in the
fourteenth and fifteenth ballots, and at

Senator c. +. Berry took a recess until 10

taken tonight. neither of the seven candi-
dates had secured an advantage of any
moment, each of them holding practically
his original strength. While the tiresome
balloting went forward the party leaders
conferred in fruitless efforts to get COM
promise, but all of their efforts went for

ton tonight to warrant the prediction of
break tomorrow.

IMPORTANT MATTER IS
SETTLED BY Y. NJ {, A,
Relations of Railroads and Rail

Hands of General Committee.
GREETING FROM CANADA

BUFFALO, N. Y. May 13.-An important
question of polity was decided at to-day's
session of the thirty-fifth international con-
vention of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation. Those who favored taking the
power of dealing with the railroad COM
panies on behalf of the railroad branches
of the Y. NJ. G. A. out of the hands of the
international committee and placing il with
state and local committees were defeated by
a large majority. The matter came up in
the majority and minority reports of a COM
mittee of twenty-one, which was first APP
pointed at the Grand Rapids convention in
1889, reappointed at the Boston convention
in 1901 and again reappointed at Cleveland
in 1902. The majority report was in favor
of leaving matters they now stand under
control of the international committee. The
minority report was defeated by vote of
SO TO 296. The majority report was finally
adopted by a vote of S21 to 1S1.
Robert Z. Speer, secretary of the foreign
missionary board, and the Hon. George w.
Ross, premier of Ontario, spoke at the day
sessions. In the course of his remarks

frequently the case that the people deceived
the politician than that the politician de-
ceived the people.
Il bring no particular greeting to you

that may live forever in peaceful unity,

PENSION APPLICATIONS
UNDER NEW AGE ORDER
Many Filed Under the Mistaken
Idea that a Second Pension
Would Be Allowed.

TOPEKA. Kan, May 13.-Eugene F.
Ware, United States commissioner of PEN
sions, reached Topeka to-day. Relative TO
the new age order of the Pension Bureau,
he said:
applications for pensions under the new
age order are now coming in. / presume
5000 are already on file. Many of them
have been filed under the mistaken idea
that the age order means that the claimant
will receive second pension; that is, If the
claimant is already receiving a pension,
and is over sixty-twc, that he is entitled
TO another. Nevertheless, the number of
applicants far who will have their pen
sions raised 81 a month is probably 1900.
THE amount which this order will cost
the government has been grossly exagger-
ated The great death rate among old SOL
diers will keep the pension roll in such
shape that the increase in pension pay
ments will not be perceptible to the tax
payers"

FAIR SUN WORSHIPER
IS FOUND STARVING
Wealthy Young Woman Victim
of the Persian Cult at
Chicago.

CHICAGO. May ia member of the Per-
sian Sun Worshipers. Miss T.. Ruesse, a
wealthy young music teacher, was found
delirious from self-imposed fasting, on the
floor of her home in No. 4103 Grand Boule-
ward. About three weeks ago she ended a
forty day fast. and, thinking that it had adj
vanced her in the knowledge of the cult
she started second fast of the same
duration early this week Unable to stand
this second call on her vitality. she fell de-
lirious and was in a dangerous condition
when taken to the Lakeside Hospital by
the police.
Miss Ruesse lived alone i'm one Of the
prsttiest homes the fashionable South
Side drive. IT is said she became Sun
Worshiper through the teachings OF an
Oriental. Ottoman Zar-Adusht Hanish. The

Ruesse in French by her teacher, but they
refused to make public their contents.
a few days ago sounds of singing were
heard through the night in Miss Ruesses
home. The voice was pitched. and gradu-
ally the impression grew that the woman
was in delirium. The house entered
Friday. and Miss Ruesse was found lying
on the floor. singing snatches of hymns
and mutterfng broken sentences. Nour
ishment was given TO her i'm the hospital.
and she quickly showed signs of growing
strength. 1t is believed she will recover.

CLEAR SWEEP MADE BY
THE TURKS IN ARMENIA
Villages in the Sassoun District
Destroyed and the Population
Practically Annihilated.
CONSULS TO ERZEROUM

PARIS. May 13.-An official dispatch to
the Foreign Office from Constantinople con-
firms the reports that Turkish troops have
burned villages throughout the Sassoun
district of Armenia, killing the inhabitants.
The French ambassador, NJ. Constants has
joined with the Russian and British ambas-
sailors in sending consuls to Erzeroum in
the hope of limiting the destruction and
bloodshed The official advices, although
brief indicate that the work Of extermin-
ating the Armenians occupying the noun
famous district of Sassoun is practically ac-
copplshed. The Turkish methods appear
to have been much the same as those
adopted during the previous Armenian
massacres.
The official reports do not give exact de-
tails as to the number of towns burned
and people killed. but they show that the
action of the Turks has been sweeping.

FAMOUS NIPSIC PUT
OUT OF COMMISSION
Last of the Wooden Ships Built
by the Government-Was
Wrecked at Samoa.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-The Nipsic, one
of the old wooden vessels of the navy, has
been ordered out of commission at the
Puget Sound navy yard, where she has been
serving a receiving ship. This marks
the passing Of one Of the historic vessels
of the old navy
ment-built vessels, being almost the last
timber-ship constructed for the navy. She
was launched in this city In 1913 and saw
much service in all qua rters of the world.
In the great hurricane at Samoa, on March
1916, 1889, she was the only survivor of the
German and American fleets gathered
there. After that experience she was
scarcely worth salvage, but as matter of
sentiment the navy department repaired
her. She has not been serviceable, how
ever as a war vessel, and her principal
employment has been in the receiving
service
