ANTI.HEARST MEN
TO CONTROL OHIO
Democrats TO Meet In Conven.
ton Tomorrow-Conserva.
tive Forces i'm Lead.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 22-The Dem
ocratic state convention will be held here
Tuesday and Wednesday There have
been contests in most Of the eighty eight
counties of Hearst delegates All who
are opposed to Hearst are classed as con-
servatives and they have a majority of
the uncontested delegates. These will no
doubt decide the contests against the
Hearst contestants and control the con-
vention.
The conservatives are. however, divided
IN their presidential preference between
Col. James KiIbourne, of Columbus, who
was the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor- three years ago; Judge Judson Har-
mon. of Cincinnati, who was attorney
general under President Cleveland, and
Joseph W. Folk. of Missouri.
Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland
is heading the boom in Ohio for Folk
There is now no doubt that the con-
servatives will name the delegates and
the state ticket as wei as dictate the
resolutions. No instructions for any can
didate are expected, but Maj. Kilbourne
or Harmon will be indorsed as ''the Ohio
fayorite,". and the delegates will be in
structed to vote as a unit, when the ma
jority of the delegation SO elects
It is claimed by the conservatives that
under such a modified unit rule Hearst
would not get a vote from Ohio, although
his adherents have carried several dis
tricts While no attempt will be made
to instruct for Judge Parker. or even to
commend him, it is believed he is the
second choice of both the Kilbourne and
the Harmon men, who expect to control
the convention.
Mayor johnson is expected to cooper
ate with the conservatives in organizing
the convention, as there are contesting
delegations from Cleveland and the con-
servatives in turn will seat the Johnson
delegation

Contractor as Husband.

DES MONIES. Iowa, May 22-When
the remains of the late E. L. Dubois, a
prominent contractor of this city, were
carried to the cemetery today they were
followed by three women, each Of whom
claims to be his lawful widow.

name of Mary e. Dubois, claiming that
she was married to the dead man in
1880 in Joplin, Mo, The second Mrs.
Dubois came from New Orleans She
refused to talk of her claims. The third
woman was married to Dubois at West
Union, Iowa, and has lived with him for
some years.
There was no scene at the funeral, the
women p1edging friends of the dead man
not to make disturbance.

a French officer in the Franco -Prussian

parts of the world, notably in Brazil, where

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 22.-Mayor
Tom L. johnson, of this city, in an in
terview tonight, told why he would like
to see Joseph w. Folk, of Missouri, the

he would unite the factions that now adj
here to either the Parker or Hearst in
terests, or the principles represented by
these men.

CARDS any entangling alliances in faction
alism. He would be agreeable to Mr..
Hill and Mr.. Cleveland and would be
indorsed by Mr.. Bryan, Mayor Johnson

Mr.. Folk was seeking the presidential
nomination, that he was as good as
elected governor of Missouri, but no man
has ever turned aside the nomination to
the presidency and declined to be the
leader of a great party.

the church declares open war against the
republic.
Clergy Remain Quiet.
Little is heard directly of the sentiments
of the clergy, who are practically muzzled
by their official positions under the con-
cordat.
The Rome correspondent of the Temps
says that Vatican official circles lay great
stress upon the. fact that the pope alone
directs the policy of the holy see. When
Cardinals Vannutelli, Gotti, Aglardi and
Wives y Tuto saw the pope on Thursday
and Friday, according to the correspond
ent his holiness foreshadowed the first
stage Of the conflict, namely, the recall of
Ambassador Nisard, but he declared so
energetically that he was responsible to
God alone for his actions and was acting
thus for the greatest good of the church
that the cardinals did not dare to remOn-
strate.
The correspondent adds that First Sec
retary of the Embassy de Navenne is ex-
pected in Rome tomorrow and that he will
Immediately assume charge of the en-
bassy.
It was stated at the foreign office this
morning that M. de Navenne had not yet
left Paris.
Hopes NIsard VIII Return.
ROME, May %. = Vatican authorities
continue to be agitated over the conflict
with the French government growing out
of the protest against President Loubet's
visit to Rome and the recall of M. Nisard,
the French ambassador to the Vatican.
The pope said mass this morning in the
presence of sixty-four Italians and for
eigners and gave up the rest of the day to
the consideration of the difficulties with
France, reading clippings from the news
papers on the subject
The Vatican authorities hope that M.
Nisard will soon return to Rome, being in
f1uenced by the fact that his family is still
here.

PARIS, May 22.-The recall of NJ. Nj
sard French ambassador to the Vatican,
continues to be the absorbing topic. The
ambassador is expected to arrive here
tomorrow morning, when he will confer
with Foreign Minister Delcasse and go
over the details of the rupture between
France and the Vatican preliminary to
the meeting of the council of ministers on
Tuesday, when further line of action will
be determined upon.
Contrary to general expectation, Mgr
Lorenzelli, the papal nuncio at Paris, will
not leave his post. The nunciature has
given out the following statement:
Up to the present the nuncio has re-
ceived no orders to take his leave, al
though the state of his health might make
it desirable AS Rome has no taste for
replying to prOvocati0ns, but is solely con-
Scious of her rights and duties, Mgr. Lo-
renzeli does not regard the eventuahty OF
his leave as prOximate."
The tone of the socialist papers indicates
that that powerful element has urged the
government to take more extreme meas
ures. Deputy Geralt Richard says in the
Petit Republque that the matter must
proceed until the concordat has been end
ed M. Clemenceau in L'Aurore ridi-
cules the granting Of leave to Ambassador
Nisard as being wholly inadequate, and
says it is a recall which does not recall
and rupture which does not rupture.
The socialist paper Lanterne complains
that the government has not fulfilled the
promises made to the parliamentary lead
ers that a complete rupture would take
place. and declares that the leaving Of a
charge d'affaires to carry on routine busi-
ness with the Vatican will not be satisfac-
tory. There is nothing to do it adds, but
TO effect a complete withdrawal Of the
embassy and the embassy staff until not
a concierge or cook remains.
The more moderate elements appear to
be satisfied with the course of the govern
ment, while the reactionary clerical papers
express regret with the exception of
LAutorite, in which the Bonapartist, Paul
de Cassagnac, expresses satisfaction that

of an explosion in the two drying rooms

plant here today seven persons are
known to be dead; five are so seriously
hurt that recovery is believed to be i'm
possible, and twelve or fifteen are in
jured badly.
From reports of the physicians ten OF
the less seriously injured may die as a
result of blood poisoning from the potash
that was driven into their bodies.

JAY SHERWOOD, twenty-four.
EDITH DILLON, seventeen.
DEAN SHAW, eighteen.
MARIE SNIDER, twenty two.

The Lake Shore Novelty works plant
covered nearly ten acres of ground in
the southwest part of the city and en-
ployed nearly 200 men, women and chill
dren. Railway torpedoes and Fourth of
July explosives were manufactured.
Owing to the large rush of orders the
officials Of the plant requested the en-
pIoyes to report for duty today About
thirty complied with the request.

We're startled by two explosions that
shattered windows throughout the city.
Two magazines in separate rooms at the
Novelty works let go simultaneously with
terrible reports. The exact cause of the
explosion is not definitely known. 1t is
surmised that one of the Sherwood broth
ers, who were the only persons in the
drying rooms, dropped a large box Of
torpedoes. but this theory cannot. be con-
firmed.
The explosion occurred shortly before
the employees assembled for duty. At
least twenty persons were on their way
to the factory when the explosion oc-
CURED.
Human forms were strewn considerable
distance apart on the factory site The
remains of the Sherwood brothers were
found in drying room No. 1, mangled and

The body of Edith Dillon was picked
up 100 yards from where the explosion
occurred.
The news Of the catastrophe spread
like wildf1re throughout the county.
Every train and interurban car that has
arrived in the city for the past ten hours
was crowded The large plant is shat
tered into fragments, not one single wall
remaining. Bricks and timber can be
found for a half mile around.

FISH STORY COSTLY
ToWa's Game Warden Tries to
Collect 100 for Yarn.

Special to The Globe.
SPIRIT LAKE, Iowa, May 22.-Gen.
Melvin H. Byers, adjutant general COM
manding the Iowa National guard, came
to Spirit Lake to fish last week and had
good luck. When he got home he told
fable about catching seventy-one huge
pike in a day. A Des Moines newspaper
printed the story as a contribution to it's
fiction department.
State Game Warden Lincoln read the
story and concluded it might be true
Under the state law, one person taking
over forty pike in day from Iowa waters
is liable to $100 fine per pike in excess
of the limit.
Warden Lincoln at once mailed a bill
for $3.100 to the adjutant general who
declines to pay on the ground that a
fish story cannot be used to incriminate
the author.
The game warden wants public re-
traction or else his $3, 100.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 22.-It has
been practically decided that the trans
portation home of Rafael Ortiz, the Porto
Rican prisoner in the Saltwater peni-
tentiary, will be paid for by relatives and
friends of Ortiz in Porto Rico. This
has been made necessary by the dispute
between the war department and the de-
partment Of justice as to which depart
ment of the government should pay
Ortiz fare.
The question of paying for the main
tenance of the prisoner in the Minnesota
prison is a more serious one and the
state may have to wait some time before
it gets the money AS the attorney gen
eral is the highest legal officer having
Jurisdiction in the matter, it is probable
that the question viii be referred to him
for settlement.
1t is predicted that Mr. Knox will de-
eide against the war department and
that that department win be held for the
expenses of the prisoner at Saltwater on
the ground that he is a military and not
a civil prisoner. The war department
says he is not a military prisoner, basing
the claim on the fact that his sentence
was commuted by the civil government

TO FILE PROTEST
New Phase of the Seizure
Of Steamer Calchas Comes
to Light.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA. - 1t deVel-
oped to-day that pouch containing
mail for the United States cruiser
Cincinnati, then at Nagasaki, Japan
which was aboard the British steamer
CaIchas when that vessel was seized
by the Russian Vladivostok squadron,
had been opened while in the possession
Of the Russian officials, subsequently
resealed and sent on to its destination.
This information came to the Post
office Department to-day in a commune
cation from the Japanese Postal Ad-
ministration, in conformity with
practice always followed when there
has been any mishap in the delivery OF
mail pouches.
The matter will be referred to the
State Department for action, as was
done with the case of the ordinary
United States mail on the vessel at the
time she was seized.
This latest phase of the seizure Of the
Calchas mails has caused a painful sur
prise in official circles. and If the
action of opening the pouch addressed
to the Cincinnati was Willingly done,
the probability is that a second pro-
test will be lodged with the Russian
Government.
1t is stated. at the Navy Department
that the mail pouch referred to did not
contain any official communications.

ship
