State Republican CONVENTION.
Two Eat Black Preachers Fight
Capers, Blalock, Deas and
Crum Go TO Chicago.
The State, 26th inst.

III tue DllteI anu very ToWuy
contest between the Gins and
the "outs" in the Republican
State convention in Cooper and
Taylor hall yesterday, State Boss
John q. Capers won a complete
and sweeping victory over Mai.
+. NJ. Brayton. The district at
torney explained the violent
charges the latter had brought out
against him in card published
ia Charleston negro paper to
the satisfaction of the convention
and received 1O2 votes out of d
possible 1875 for delegate to the
national convention, against 10
votes for Brayton, who turned up
ut the foot of the class on the first
ballot aud who was not even chos,
en- an alternate.
There we're nine nominees, in
cluding Maj Brayton, for the four
places as delegates. The del
egates chosen we're:
John G. Capers, E. H Deas,
J.. w. c. Blalock and DR.. w. ID.
Crum. The four defeated del
egates receiving the highest vote
were named as alternates, Mai.
Brayton being left out.
A Roosevelt platform was ad-
opted and the delegates instructed
to vote for Roosevelt's nomina-
ton. A remarkable feature of
the proceedings is to he found in
the narrow escape DR.. Crum
had. He had received only 43
votes on the first ballot, 90 short
of a majority and Capcrs, Blalock
and Deas had gone in before the
Richland delegation Was reached
in the voting. AT this point there
wos an upro'. in the convention
but after much yelling AID crowd
ing about the chairman's 5 table orr
der was restored after all lie 9th
er candidates had Withdrawn their
names, and DR.. Crum was named
as the fourth man by accIamatlon.
The best orators in the conven-
tion were employed TO nominate
Crum and second his nomination,
and his election was eloquently
urged on the ground that to leave
him off would be slap in the
face of Roosevelt, who had opens
ed the door of hope to the negroes
and who had repeatedly appoint
ed Cr1m to his present position
in the face of opposition which no
, other president had ever been
called upon to face.
Another strong feature wa.
that r. r. Tolbert, who Carcrs
had tried to get appointed in
Crum's stead, was put up to de-
feat Capers for national commit
teeman. Tolbert WIS defeated as
a delegate but was elected as m
alternate

FREED FROM DISTRESSING STU.
ALTON ~ MAN OF GREAT
WEALTH..
FLEEs FROM CURIOUS CROWDS
PERSISTENT MOB MAKES THE
WOMAN VIRTUALLY A
PRISONER.

new YORK, Dec. S.-BeSet bY a per.
sistent crowd which at times num-
bered thousand persons, Mrs. Leroy
s. Chadwick was virtually prisoner
in the Central Trust building in Wall
street yesterday, but by going over
the roofs of buildings she escaped
curious eyes.
It is known that only extreme neces-
sity impelled Mrs. Chadwick to leave
her hotel yesterday. That she accom-
plished her plans is argued from the
fact that she was convinced that it is
no longer necessary to remain in New
York. On her return to the Holland
house shortly after o'clock she sent
orders for the drawing room car on
THE 1926 p. m. express to Cleveland
to be reserved for her party. Then
came sudden change of plan. and at
1880 p. m. the order was cancelled.
Aid Is Secured.
According to lawyer interested in
Mrs. Chadwick's case, she has been
freed by man of great wealth from
the distressing situation brought
about by the suits of Herbert D. New
ton to recover on promissory notes ag-
gregating $4,000. He was not un-
known to Mrs. Chadwick before her
present difficulties, and she has con-
vinced him of her ability to secure
any obligations which he may require
of her in return for assistance. Mrs.
Chadwick and her lawyer are the only
ones who know the identity Of this
man, and under no circumstances
will they divulge it. Persistent re-
PORTS have linked Andrew Carnegie's
name with the reports
Because of the reliability of her
sponsor the cash payment at first de-
manded from Mrs Chadwick in re-
turn for immunity from court proceed
ings has, it is said been waived.
Bankruptcy Petition Filed.
Word was received here yesterday
afternoon that a petition in bank
ruptcy had been filed against Mrs.
Chadwick in Cleveland by James
Krakauer, a lien dealer ON Fifth ave-
nue., New York.
Thoere was story in circulation
that Mrs. Chadwick contemplated
leaving for Europe to-day. Relative
to this, Philip Carpenter. one of her
counsel, said that his client would not
leave for Europe to-day. and he added:
"In fact she will not leave this coun-
TRY until every dollar of her indebted
ness has been paid"
Mr.. Carpenter also made the state.
ment that Mrs. Chadwick is very
wealthy woman" and amply able to
care for all claims against her."

NO PROFIT IN WHEAT.

Indiana Farmers Must Raise Some
Other Crop.
Indianapolis, Nov. 3O.-State Stats
tican Johnson says: "It is considered
by those interested that wheat can no
longer be raised in Indiana at a profit.
In 1904 the average yield was small
fraction more than ten bushels to the
acre.
"Deducting one and one-half bushels
for seed the net crop was but eight
and one-half bushels to the acre to pay
for sowing and interest on the value
of the land. 1t may be expected that
under these circumstances the whee'
acreage will decrease from year t
year."

POSSE STARTS IN PURSUIT
THIEVES ROB A FARMER AT
I DEPOT WHILE FLEEING FROM
VILLAGE.

Duluth, Dec. 3. Some unknown
men attemptss, to blow the safe of the
State Bank of Barnum early yester-
day morning, and being foiled in the
project, held up and robbed r. O.

lake. Sheriff William McKinnon and
posse are now on the trail of the
robbers.
Shortly before o'clock Yesterday
morning F. A. Goetz, presid snt of the
state bank. who lives but few feet
from the bank building, was awakened
by the sound of a muffied explosion.
Hastily dressing and going over to
the bank. he found man on guard ON
the outside and two more at work on
the vault within. Mr.. Goetz returned
to his house and telephoned a fire
alarm to the telephone station.
Villagers Are Aroused.
A few moments later the village
was alive with half-clad men, some OF
whom carried lanterns. Under the
leadership of Mr.. Goetz, the crowd
proceeded to the bank, but before
they reached the ubilding the robbers
within emerged from the front door
and took fight. The third man al
ready had disappeared.
The three men went to the station,
where they found r. o. Dye waiting
for an early train to Moose Lake.
He made no resistance and was
robbed Of small sum Of money. The
hold-up men then ordered him to 60
inside the station building and to re-
main there until after the train had
gone. Mr.. Dye complied.
Posse In Pursuit.
Nothing more has been seen Of the
three men. A posse started in pur-
suit OF them after daylight, tracking
them in the snow to point about
four miles down the railroad. Here
the tracks disappeared. The men left
no clue behind them. and the authori-
