a beautiful gavel. 1t was the Gift of
the Chicago citizens committee which
eo-operated with the national sub-com.
mittee in making arrangements for the
convention. Later Graeme Stewart
member of the national committee
from Illinois, on behalf of the Chicago
committee, presented a similar gavel
to Temporary Chairman Root.
1t was left to Governor Van SAINT
OF Minnesota. to first place the presi-
dents name before the convention. He
found the occasion in presenting to
the convention table which had been
built by the manual training school
connected with the South MinneaDolis
high school The applause was gen.
eral, but not long continued. and in
that set a precedent which was fol.
lowed in succeeding demonstrations.
The matter Of greatest Importance
was the presenting to the convention
OF the proposition to admit the deleea- I
tions from the Philippine Islands and
Porto Rico. Mr. Root asked for a .
ruling on the question of calling the
names of the new possessions in the
roll for the naming of members of the
various committees. The convention
ordered the seating and recognition of
six delegates from the Philippines.
with two votes, and two delegates from
Porto Rico.
In the convention hall there was one
woman delegate who had the same
right to vote that was held by each ac-
credited male delegate. She was Mrs (
Charles A. Eldredge of Colorado
Springs, Colo, an alternate delegate s
whose principal was absent. Other [
women alternates present were Mrs
owen Lefevre, of Colorado: Mrs. Su- 4
ian West of Idaho, and Mrs. Jennie S

SLOCUM DEATH
LIST GROWING
S45 Bodies Recovered From Steam
boat Horror at New York.
CORONER HEARING TESTIMONY
".'7.''.E.Q =.


New York, June 22.-The harves;
Of victims who lost their lives in the
Slocum disaster continues. By the use
Of dynamite and heavy guns fired by
men from the Second Battery. scores
Of bodies were brought up from the
bottom around the shores of North
Brother Island. From sunrise to sun
set the searchers along the beach and
in the boats gathered in 112. bringing
the number of bodies recovered to
date up to the appalling total of S45.
OF these ZOO have been identified.
and the missing still are approximated
/ at something more than 800. Many OF
the bodies last found will never be
identified because of the changes that
have taken place during the week
they have been under the water.
Evidence of a startling nature.
which doubtless will have an import
ant bearing on the ultimate result OF
the coroner's inquiry into the General
Slocum disaster, was forthcoming at
the inquest
Perhaps the most unexpected incl |
dent was the continued refusal to an
swer questions of Henry Lundberg. a |
United States steamboat inspector. /
who was supposed to have inspected /
the life preseryers and the hull OF. the
ill-iated steamer. His refusal was
based on the ground that an answer
might tend to incriminate him. and
he acted on the advice of his counsel.
The coroner committed Lundberg to
the house of detention, but later ac-
cepted $500 bail for his appearance AZ
the hearing. which was satisfactory to
the assistant district attorney.
Second Pilot Weaver of the Slocum.
testified that he had purchased the
ire hose for that boat, and Mr.. Gar
lin introduced evidence to show that
he price paid was 40 cents a foot
ess 80 per cent, or 16 cents per foot
let
Don't you know that you can't buy
'ood fire hose for Tess than a dollar
r a dollar and a half a foot?" i
i don't know anything about the
rice OF hose, - responded Weaver. Fl
Weaver also declared that there had &c
cen no fire drill on the Slocum this
ear. y'
Daniel O'Neill. who according to his
worn statement. had never worked !.
n a boat until he was hired on the
locum short time ago, admitted
lat he had jumped into a rowboat y
led with people from the Slocum
lpsizing it. Asked if he saved anv
le, he said there were others there n
'ing thai, and that he was not an q, i,
pert swimmer He swan ashore 70
mself however. 4,
ONeill declared that he never saw a
e drill on the boat.
Referring to the efforts made to
row water on the fire when it was al
st discovered. O'Neill told of the
rsting Of the hose He ran and got
rubber washing hose. but the -

BY VETERINARY PROFESSOR AT
THE STATE UNIVERSITY.
THE CONDITIONS, Invite
SOL, Foods and Air of Wisconsin
Peculiarly Favorable to the In
dustry-Every Necessary Factor
Present-Farmers Given a Useful
Hint.

Wisconsin, as a state, offers an I'M.
eXcelled breeding and rearing place
Tor the production Of active, SOUND.
healthy and hardy horses, declares
Dr.. A. S. Alexander professor OF
veterinary science in the university.
The soil being rich in mineral matters
produces foods endowed with the con-
stituents necessary for the perfect
development OF strong bones, tough
hoofs, dense tendons and powerful
muscles. The drinking water is
plentiful, pure, cold and full Oh
wholesome mineral salts. The atmos-
phere is bright, bracing. pure with
the oxygen requisite for lung-deyelop-
ing and bodybuilding, while abun.
dant sunlight benefits plants and ami
mails alike. Feeding materials are
everywhere grown in abundance. ana
being rich in protein and earthly ma.
terlals, are especially fitted for per-
fect frame development. We can al
all times supply our horses from
neYer-failing stores of clovers, grass
and corn forage. Our pastures are
kept green by sufficient moisture ano.
III addition to oats, wheat, harley ana
rye, legumes luxuriate and there Is
ample corn grown to augment the ra-
tons with heat and REPRODUCING eIe-
ments during our cold but healthy.
bracing winters.
In addition to the suitability of our
environment for profitable horse pr.-
duct on, our farms, says DR.. Alexand.
er, are comparatively close to the
greatest horse markets of the country.
shipping facilities are ample, Ioca,
demand is brisk, and other states are
taking our surplus colts at profitable
prices and asking for many more OF
the right sort to fatten and finish for
the eastern markets.
In short. we possess in Wisconsin,
every necessary factor for successful
hcrse-breeding, and intelligent. con
erted action on the part of our
farmers towardes the general produc-
ion of animals of uniform type and
quality would soon I've us, in the
Judgment of DR.. Alexander. a leading
position in the industry.
