PARKER CoNFERs WITH LEADERS
German and Ryan Closeted With Can
didate Three Hours.

dispatch from New York last night
says: Judge Parker today conferred with
more than score of prominent party lead
ers who called on him at his apartments
at the Hotel Aston. Important matters re-
lating to the campaign, which may reor-
ganize the methods now in operation. the
letters of acceptance of the candidates for
PRESIDENT and Vice President and the dis
cusslon OF a slate for New York state were
included in the business under consdera-
tfon.
By special arrangement with the hotel
management all guests who by appoint
ment called to see Judge Parker were ush-
cred In through a private entrance, and no
persons without the proper credentials
bearing the Endorsement of the judges pri-
Vate secretary were permitted on the fifth
iloor where the candidates apartments
were situated.
One of the interesting features of Judge
Parker's day was his talk with former Sen
ator David b. Hill, which has been con-
nected with call by the senator on Dis
trict Attorney Jerome. 1t was reported
that Mr.. Hill rendered the governorship
nomination to Mr.. Jerome. That story is
now denied. and information from re-
liable source is to the effect that Mr..
Jerome was offered any place on the state
ticket except the nomination for governor.
The talk concerning the mention of Mr..
Jerome as candidate for governor was
the subject of intense interest. Opponents
of Mr.. Jerome are said to have taken alarm
because or the appearance of unusual ac-
tivity on the part of leaders. Those who
were SO fortunate as to get an audience
with Judge Parker argued against an in
dorsement of Mr.. Jerome
Among those who are known to have
called on Judge Parker today are former
Senator Henry G. Davis, the vice presi-
Dental candidate; Senator Arthur P. Cor
man. Col Daniel S. Lamont, George Foster
Peabody, treasurer of the national COM
mittee; William F. Sheehan, chairman Of
the executive committee; Daniel McCon-
Vile, chairman of the speakers bureau;
Thomas F. Ryan of Virginia, Representa-
tive John Sharp Williams of Mississippi.
August belmont, Perry Belmont and Her
man Rider of New York, State Senator
Z. IL McCarren of Brooklyn. Cord Meyer,
chairman OF the New York state commit
tee, and w. s. Rodie chairman of the bu
reau of organization
Senator German and Mr.. Ryan remained
with Judge Parker for three hours, and
this Is taken as an indication that the sem
ator mas become active in the campaign.
at least In an advisory capacity.
John Sharp Williams discussed campaign
oratory with Judge Parker He has been
assigned already for speeches at Louisville.
KY, and Detroit, Mich, and 1t was decided
today that he will be heard in New York.
This Is at the earnest request of Judge
Parker.
Judge Parker has decided that he will

A largely attended meeting of democrats
opposing his nomination for Congress just
held. II was charged, that he aspired to
be political boss; that he sought to be

his district to help nominate political
friends, contrary to his duty as chairman,
and that finally he was the cause of Col.

Sedgwick, Ark, July 1.-THE case
Of W. S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical

father makes the following statement:

could not walk nor put his shoes on.

WE'LL WORTH SEEING

One Of the most interesting exhibits
among the many Of all kinds at the Louisi'
ana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis is
that Of the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company, Of New Haven, Conn, manu-
iacturers Of repeating rifles and shotguns
and all kinds Of ammunition. The exhibit
was in readiness and was opened on the
first day Of the fair, a fact that clearly
illustrates the enterprise and up-to.date
methods Of the company behind 1t. IT is
the aim Of the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company to show OF their exhibit the high
development which they have reached in
themaking Of guns and ammunition, and
one needs only to see the exhibit to realize
chow near to perfection that development
has come. There can be seen the new auto
matte repeating rifle, all kinds Of shotguns,
the modern smokeless powder shotgun
shells and rifle cartridges; in fact every.
thing that can interest the devotees Of
hunting and trap and target shooting.
Don't fail to see the exhibit OF the Manu-
facturers and Fish and Game Buildings.
It's well worth your while.

DESERT ARMoURDALE
THE FLOOD At FLOODED POINTS.
A Serious Problem Where Towns Were
Just Recovering From Floods.

Kansas City, No., July 1.-THE
suburbs of Kansas City, Kansas, are
having a serious time. 1t is thought
probable that Armourdale will never
again be occupied. The people are
discouraged at the floods Of the past
thirteen months. In this district the
flood is as serious as last year.
The Smoky Hill is making trouble
yet for Salina and Junction City.
Chanute, lola, Burlington and other
towns in the Neosho valley report
little change in the flood, Water Is
four feet deep in some of the leading
stores of Burlington.
The Cottonwood Is receding at
Emporia and other points in that vi.
entity.
In Ottawa the third food of the
year has done great damage. The
town is just beginning to recover.
Railroad traffic Is yet seriously re-
tarded. In most instances the roads
expect to be in working order by
the first of the week.
No estimate of the damage to the
crops has been made 1t will be enor-
nous. Dickinson county estimates
that GO per cent Of the lowland wheat
there is ruined, Corn is badly hurt.
Harvest Of the upland wheat can com
mence at once, If no more rain falls.
Kansas City, No., July 12.-Not
for many days will normal conditions
prevail at Armourdale, Argentine
and the low lying portion Of eastern
Kansas City, Kan, where hundreds
of houses Of the working classes are
under water and many plants are
inundated. In the low portion of Ar
mourdale, which Is located in the
most unfayorable portion Of the food
district, the water is from three to
six feet deep, while surrounding the
Nelson Morris packing house, north
east of Armourdale and close to the
mouth of the Kaw the river Is twelve
feet deep.
Armourdale is practically aban-
doned, the streets running rivers, and
this town if 5000 may never be re-
built, two disastrous floods in thir-
teen months utterly discouraging a
majority of Its former inhabitants
The loss will be heavy.
After flooding a portion of the west
bottoms of the Missouri side to a
depth of four feet, the water in the
iobbing district and in the railroad
yards became stationary at noon, and
began to fall when within three
blocks Of the Union station. The
food in the west bottoms was caused
by back water, which receded quick
ly when the Kaw began to go down.

The janitor was evidently absent from

Disheartened, the seeker for home
was about to turn away when the door
was opened from the inside and a
bright faced boy Of about seven years
was disclosed. He looked wonderingly
at the visitor, who asked:
What kind of an apartment Is there
for rent here?"
A look Of mingled disgust and scorn
slowly overspread the youngsters face.
He surveyed the questioner from head
to foot and finally said with an az
grieved air:
