A BOLT IS ORGANIZED
Vengeance Threatened
on Parker Men.

Indianapolis, Ind, May 1.-THE
Hearst forces were routed in the dis
trict caucuses held here tonight pre-
liminary to the state convention to-
morrow and Parker delegations were
chosen from every district in Indiana
to the Democratic convention, except
in the Twelfth. There the Hearst
slate went through.
In five districts the Hearst delegates
bolted the caucus and selected con-
testing states and after all the prelim-
inaries were held the Hearst forces
held mass meeting at their headquar-
ters and selected states for every In
diana district. They intend to take
these into the state convention to-
morrow and If they are ignored they
will appeal to the national convention.
The meetings themselves were full OF
bitterness. There were knock down
fights in the Sixth district meeting
and in the Tenth district upon which
the Hearst forces had counted surely

CROP REPORTS
Conditions Extrem
Unfavorabie.

Washington, ID. c., May 10.-"The
available records of the agriculture de-
partment show for no preceding year
such uniformity of uniavorable crop
conditions as is reported this month, y
declared Chief Hyde of the bureau of
statistics of the department this af-
ternoon, in issuing a bulletin.
Returns made up to May / show the
area under winter wheat in cultivation
on that date to have been about 27,-
OS3 500 acres. This is 4,932,0 900 acres
or 1914 per cent less than the area
sown last fall and 5427, 900 acres or
1877 per cent less than the area OF
winter wheat harvested last year. or
this abandonment Indiana reports
904,00O Kansas 713,000; Ohio 475,0O0;

gan 259,000; Nebraska 21S,000 and

tion on May /, was 76.5 which is

HEARST INTERESTS
INVOLVED IN MANY OHIO TRAC.
TlON LINES.

Tucker-Ant ydcate, Controlling
canton-Altron and other Roads,
Handles Surplus Millions OF
Hearst Estate.
Cleveland Plain Dealer:-The care
ful inspection of the Northern Ohio
Traction & Light property during the
past week by the most influential men
of the TuckerAnthony Traction snydi-
cate of Boston has caused great
deal of gossip this week among the
traction men of the city, and there
has been much renewed speculation
on the probability of some sort of
closer working alliance between the
two corporations.
The Tucker-Anthony syndicate of
Boston is very powerful organiza
tion from a financial standpoint, as it
is understood to have the handling OF
the surplus millions of the Hearst es.
tate of California. This latter feature
is accredited as correct by careful f.
nanciers who claim to know that the
surplus money of the Hearst estate is
gradually being invested in first class
traction properties throughout the
east and in Ohio. That the syndicate
has ample means for carrying for
ward any project it may deem good
is accepted all over the country where
the syndicate operates.
The syndicate owns the Canton-Ak-
ron and Canton-Massillon lines, both
of which are first class properties and
yielding handsome returns. At one
time the interests now included in the
Appleyard syndicate were included
with the Tucker-Anthony crowd, but
lately Arthur e. Appleyard has been
operating extensively alone.
Appleyard has always claimed that
he intended to operate cars from
Cleveland to Cincinnati That he has
had his eye on the Northern Ohio
Traction lines, is shown by the maps
he has issued, for he has always fig
ured that as the line over which his
cars would come into Cleveland. If
there should prove to be way of get
ting the three snydicates operated to-
gether they would practically have a
translate line now, as there could be
connections made throughout by
twenty-six-mile extension from point
east of Newark to New Philadelphia
Some construction would be required
between Dayton and Cincinnati, but
the through line would be quite prac-
| tical from an operating standpoint.
! Traction men lay great stress on the
! through business between large cities
as a means of increasing business, and
| they are anxious to have the two
larger Scities of the state tied togeth-
er by trolley.
/ Men who are in control OF the
Northern Ohio Traction G. Light prop
erty laugh at the idea of it passing
from the control, but they do not scoff
at the idea of an operating agreement
! that would enlarge the usefulness of
the property and increase it's earning
I power.
In the crowd of capitalists who in
spected the property there were p.

properties into one large corporation

THE MORMON GIRL.

met a little Mormon girl;
She was just eighteen, she said.
Her hair was dressed with one big
curl
That dangled from her head.
She had simple way, and bland;
Her speech was soft and cool,
And in her honest, widespread hand
She bore a milking stool.
How many children, little maid,
Are in your family?"
"How many? Sixty-seven," she said,
And shyly looked at me.
Her hazel eyes to mine she raised,
And then she cast them down.

"The census Of your town.
How many children round your door
Disport in childish glee?'
Just sixty-seven," she said, once
more,
And smiled again at me.
Forty of us at Provo dwell;
At Ogden there are nine.

Our mothers are eleven,
Round every door there's room TO-

And we are slxty-seven."

The maid with eyes like heaven;
But as l left heard her say,
"And I'm the oldest, by the way,
OF all the sixty-seven.'

The inter-church conference has de-
clared war upon the divorce evil. If
some of the divines and others who are
ranting against divorces would go in
to the courts and listen to what is tes-
titled to in some of the cases they
would conclude that in the majority
of instances the decree of separation
should be granted A legal separation
is better than one that is not recog-
nized by law, when point has been
reached that living together is no
longer possible. If the reformers would
listen 10 some tales told by wives, for
instance, they would be ready to sign
a petition asking to have the husband
hanged. The real safeguard is the
judge upon the bench. The laws are
not lax if properly observed.

Editor Potts, who acted as chief
pugilist at the Alliance convention, is
asking for a home for dog which he
wants to give away. He says:
This is a good dog and he will not
need to be whipped very much, say
once day, to make him not forget to
be good" To which the Alliance Lead
er replies:
If this dog belongs to Mr.. Potts, edi-
tor of the Patriot, who put on the vau-
deville show at the Democratic conven-
ton at Alliance, then it is quite evil
dent that he has been more careful in
training his dog that he has in training
himself because it looks as though it
would require more than one flogging
day TO make him be good. We would
like to have the dog.

The Canton school board will con-
sist of but five members, it is said.
Some of the present members rather
favor seven, since the three antis were
nominated by the Republicans, but as
the board has been advocating the
small board plan to adopt any other
would be rather inconsistent. BY
common consent the three nominated
will be allowed to stand and the 9TH
er two may be selected by conven-
ton. Messrs. Reed, Chase and Baird
will retire. 1t is not thought that
either will be candidate. as they
have had second terms, or parts of
them.

Judge Fawcett may not have meant
it, but he, by sin of omission, caught
Charley Dick a hard jolt under the
belt in his speech yesterday. Dick is
supposed to have stepped into Han.
mas shoes. In deploring the death of
the great senator, and the consequent
loss to the Republican party, Fawcett
said Some new Moses will arise
and take up the work that Hanna left
undone.' He did not say that some
new Moses has arisen, even though
Dick has been on his feet for some
months. Since the Warren convention
even the erstwhile Dick men are rath.
er inclined to be quiet. However,
Fawcett always liked Foraker, who
appointed him probate Judge.
