SECRETARY SHAW TO
STORM MINNESOTA
Treasury Department Official
Will Tour Northwest on
SpelIbindlng Mission
Globe Special Washington Service,

Globe Special Washington Service,
141z c Street
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 26.-
Secretary of Treasury Leslie M. Shaw
will make two or three speeches in
Minnesota during the coming cam
paign, and he will be recognized there
as elsewhere in the course Of his
stumping tours as the special repre-
sentative of the administration.
Mr.. Shaw will spend only little
time in the treasury department this
summer, for he has already made spe-
ci1c plans to visit several states for
the purpose of helping along the Re-
publican ticket, During his absence,
however, the treasury deficit will not
grow any more rapidly than it would if
he were in Washington.
Must Explain Deficit
The condition of the treasury indeed,
is one of the things that must be ex-
planned during the campaign, and it is
appropriate that Secretary Shaw should
do the explaining. He has a plausible
tongue, and where straight argument
will not avail Mr.. Shaw can tell stories
and poke fun at the Democratic party.
Mr.. Shaw likes campaigning, for he
is stump orator of the fashioned
variety, who dearly loves to strip off
his coat and plunge into a long, hot
summer campaign.
The exact time of his visit to Mime
sofa has not been arranged, but it will
b rather early in the campaign. The
administration is well aware of the
strong feeling on the subject of the
tariff and reciprocity in the Northwest,
AMI they know that some of the Demo-
cratic statesmen who are most pro-
gressive in their expression of views on
the tariff are extremely popular in Min
nesota. Walter E. Clark

At Dunn headquarters yesterday
George A Finn said positive informa-
tion had been received from enough
counties to remove all doubt as to the
result. Mr.. Finn said Dunn would be
nominated on the first ballot The Dunn
people pointed out the faIlacy of the
Collins claims and produced reports
from various counties to prove that
Mr.. Martin was claiming many coun-
ties for Collins that should be counted
for Dunn.
More Caucuses Today
More than twenty counties will hold
their caucuses today, and both Dunn
and Collins are claiming their candi-
dates will win out in the greater num-
Der of them. Hennepin, Ramsey and
st. Louis counties, with their 220 dele
gates, are claimed by both sides, as is
the case in many of the other counties.
OF the counties to caucus today the
Collins people concede that Dunn will
carry Dakota, Isanti, Kanabec, Lyon,
Murray, Sibley and Washington, which
would be sufficient to nominate Dunn
with the counties his managers claim
he has already carried.
AT Dunn headquarters: however, the
concessions made by the Collins people
regarding the caucuses to be held to-
day are laughed at. Mr.. Finn said
more than three-fourths of the dele
gates to be chosen today would be for
Dunn, and the claim is made that the
Princeton man will carry Hennepin,
Ramsey and st. Louis counties
Aitkin and Anoka counties are
placed in the doubtful column by the
Collins managers, but are claimed pos
itively at Dunn headquarters. In the
latter county advices would indicate
that Dunn has won out by vote of
more than two to one. Becker, Bel
trami and Benton counties are claimed
by both sides, and in the absence of
more positive information cannot be
placed in either the Dunn or Collins
column. Collins claims Blue Earth
county, but the Dunn people say this
county will be divided by agreement,
an understanding to this effect having
| been entered into some time ago
| Brown county is claimed by Collins,
but it being the home of L. G. Vogel,
| candidate for state treasurer, there is
| little doubt but that the delegation will
be equally divided.
The Collins people last night con-
ceded Carlton and Carver counties to
Dunn, but claimed Cass and Chippewa.
In Cass county there will be two con-
ventions and the delegation will go to

vention, while in Chippewa the infor-

Conservative estimates, based upon
actual information received by I h e
Globe, and upon CLAIMS made by the
Dunn and Collins managers, with the
necessary deduction, indicate that Rob-
ert c. Dunn has long lead over Col
Inns up to date and his nomination is
practically assured.
Frank M. Eddy, so far as the returns
show, is out of the race altogether, and
it is believed Dunn will be nominated
on the first ballot
Extravagant claims were made by
both sides last night each claiming
enough votes to elect their delegate on
the first ballot. The Collins people.
however, were unable to show the mes
sages upon which they base their
claims, while at the Dunn headquarters
scores of messages, giving the result
of Saturdays primaries throughout the
state, were in evidence.
Reliable advices received by T h e
G 10 b e from a number of counties
claimed by Collins managers would in
dicate that Dunn has carried those
counties, and tabulation of the coun-
ties actually heard from gives Dunn a
decided advantage over his opponent.
1t is also considered significant that
a number of counties claimed by Col
Inns forces Saturday night were last
night conceded to Dunn, although
these losses We're made up by claims
in other directions but which the Dunn
managers regard as ridiculous.
Martins Strong Claims
James A. Martin, manager of the
Collins campaign, gave out a state
ment last night in which he claimed
Collins would have enough votes to in
sure his nomination, even should Hen
nepin, Ramsey and st. Louis counties
send Dunn delegations to the state con-
vention, but his table of figures showed
that many counties known to have
selected Dunn delegates were counted
in the Collins column, and his bare
claims that his candidate had won out
in these counties was all he offered to
offset the telegraphic reports received
by The Globe and at the Dunn
headquarters.
A conservative estimate of the
strength of the two candidates, based
on the counties where primaries have
already been held, shows that Dunn is
ahead of Collins in the proportion of
two to one, and should these figures
prove to be correct, Dunn could lose
more than half Of the counties where
caucuses are to be held today and still
have enough votes in the convention to
nominate him.

A. Harstad, prominent farmer living
near Sioux Falls, narrowly escaped
death as the result of peculiar acci-
dent
One of his hogs got it's head caught

MANY CHILDREN DROWN
-------
PERISH BY COLLAPSE OF OLD
SUSPENSION BRIDGE AT
CHARLESTON, w. VA.
NUMBER OF VICTIMS NOT KNOWN
STRUCTURE DROPS FIFTY FEET
TO THE RIVER, CRUSHING
THE ICE IN IT'S FALL.

Charleston, w. Va, Dec. 16-While
crowded with people, including many
children on their way to school, the
old suspension bridge which connects
East and West Charleston collapsed
during the day, turning turtle as it
fell, throwing twenty to thirty people
and half dozen teams to the ice fifty
feet below The ice broke under the
weight and it is feared that the mum
ber who were swept under the ice to
their deaths will not be known for
long time. Two dead bodies were
taken out within a short time and a
number of injured were assisted to
the shore by rescuers who were
promptly on the scene. Planks were
thrown on the broken ice and over
these the rescuers crawled with ropes
which were used to pull the injured
and dead to the shore.
News of the accident spread rapidly
and the banks were soon lined with
frantic people, who feared that friends
or relatives had gone down with the
bridge To their deaths.
The work of rescue was pushed Wig
orously, the United States engineers
being appealed to for help, while river
men were among the earliest help
ers
The bridge was built fifty-two years
ago and during the past few months
there has been considerable doubt re-
garding its safety, heavy traffic being
kept off on a number of occasions.
Two large cables of the bridge were
pulled from their moorings, fitting the
floor and sliding people and wagons
Off Later the strain snapped one OF
the cables on the lower side, the floor
turning completely over as it dropped.
All the rescued were numbed and
chilled and suffering from the shock
The fire department did good work
and the steamer Baxter broke ice in
order to get small boats up The
crash was heard all over Charleston
and in the country.
During the Civil war the cable OF
this bridge was cut by General Wise
when he evacuated Charleston, the
bridge at the same time being par
TALLY burned. The same cable was
afterward spliced and has been in use
ever since.

and elections John Nichols, the chief
recorder of the Mormon temple al
Salt Lake, was sworn. He proved the
most reluctant witness of all the

By slow process the attorney for
the protestants drew from him the
fact that he keeps the records OF mar
riages, baptisms and endowments
which are solemnized within the tenn
pie. He explained that the endow-
ments are the placing upon individuals
of blessings that will be upon them
during this life and in all eternity.

He added that he brought one rec
ord, that of the marriages performed
within the temple. He was asked
where he kept the record of the en-
dowment house marriages. He said
that they were in the temple, but that
he had no authority over these nor
would he admit knowledge as to who
has such authority.
