REPUBLICANS TO
TAKE SHORT REST
ILLINOIS CONVENTION CANNOT
AGREE AND TAKES RECESS UN-
TIL MAY 81, WHEN WORK WILL
BE RESUMED.

Springfield, ILL.,, May pa conference
between Frank O. Lowden and Charles
S. Deneen following a previous confer
ence by each with Governor Yates
brought fresh disappointment today for
the delegates to the republican state con-
yentlon The rival candidates reached no
conclusion as to plan by which the con-
vention deadlock could be broken. A re-
port circulated that Lowden would with
draw was generally discredited. The del
egates faced a prospect that balloting
would continue all day and that the
convention would then take a recess.
Chairman Cannon called the convention
to order at 1910. The fifty-eighth ballot
showed no prospect of breaking the dead
lock and Senator Gardiner moved a re-
cess to May 81. A roll call was ordered.
AS 1t progressed 1t became evident that
the negative question on the adjourn
ment had come from delegates who with
few exceptions eagerly grasped the op-
portunity to get home.
The vote stood: Yeas, 1414: nays. IS.
The convention at 1850 broke up and
the delegates rushed from the hall cheer
ing the band which began to play Home,
Sweet Home
The recess to May 81 was taken by
unanimous agreement among the candi-
dates for governor meeting al which
all were present was held In the adjutant
generals office during the ifty-eighth
ballot and the agreement was reached
with practically no discussion.

PARKER MEN ARE

Now Has 122 Votes Absolutely
Pledged to Him
DOUBT ABOUT ALABAMA

DOUBT ABOUT ALABAMA

Washington, May 2o-(Special.)-Th
democratic state conventions held this
week failed to add any instructed votes
to the Parker presidential boom, whereas
Hearst gained twenty in California, and a
rev presidential candidate, Wall, received
the twenty-six votes of Wisconsin. The
ether two conventions of the week, South
Carolina eighteen votes and Montana six
votes sent their delegations uninstructed.
Parker has therefore absolutely pledged
to him 122 votes as follows: New York rs,
Indiana 30. Connecticut IA.
Hearst has absolutely pledged to him
eighty-two votes, as follows: Iowa 26,
Nevada 6, New Mexico 6, Rhode Island
g. South Dakota s. Washington 10, Cali
fornia 20.
olney has the thirty-two votes of Mas
cf Wisconsin.
There are 174 uninstructed delegates to
the convention from the following states
South Carolina, Montana, West Virginia
Pennsylvania, Oregon New Jersey, Flori-
da Kansas and the District of Columbia.
Both Parker and Hearst claim many OF
these uninstructed votes, but so far as the
| actual instructions oil conventions is CON
| cerned the vote. instructed and unin-
structed, stands as above.
| The supporters of Parker are not en-
couraged over the news from Ohio today.
The state convention meets at Columbus
on Tuesday and 1t will send forty-six to
the national convention. The Parker sup
porters have been making hard hght
in the state and until this week 1t has
looked as IL the state would add forty six
votes to the Parker boom, thus giving him
a decided lead The information from Ohio
today is to the effect that the delegation
will go to the convention uninstructed.
MARYLAND will also next week SEND SIX
teen uninstructed votes to the eonven-
ton.
There is said here to be some doubt
about Alabama sending its twenty-five
votes instructed for Parker next week,
but the state Is being claimed by the
Parker supporters. Tennessee Is expect
ed TO send its twenty-four votes for Par
ker at the convention next week The
Arizona convention next week will likely
send its six votes instructed for Hearst
The results of state conventions wmcn
have been held this week and the prob
able results of the conventions which
will be held next week still seems to In
dicate that the uninstructed delegations
will hold the balance of power at 81

AXES, HAMMERS AND CROWBARS
PLAY HAVOC WITH POOLROOMS
JEWELRY CONCEALED IN
ALL PARTS OF THE HOUSE

Albany N Y, May 20.-A large guam
tity of jewelry. undoubtedly that taken
from the coffin of Lady Mary Living
on the Livingston family tomb on the Liv-
ingston estate below Hudson, and valued
at thousands of dollars has been found
by the police in a raid upon a "growler"
gang in q low resort in South Lansing
street. Thomas King and others arrest
ed classed by the police as ''hoboes, .
who refuse to give any place of residence
had the jewelry upon their persons and
concealed about the house.
Some of the jewelry is modern, but
most of 1t is very old and marked with
the Livingston and DePeyster monogram
and with the names of women of the Liv-
ingston family.
The Livingston vault was entered one
night several weeks ago and the coffin
of Lady Mary Livingston was broken
open. The theory was advanced at the
time. that the deed was done for the
purpose of securing valuable jewels said
to have been buried with the body.
The descent of the police upon the
Lansing street house was made because
of complaint concerning its disorderly
character, and 1t was not until King was
searched that the Importance of the raid
became evident. In his pockets were
found a miscellaneous collection of silver
ware and jewelry, some of 1t modern,
but most of it beyond question belonging
to the Livingston and DePeyster fami-
lies.
King claims he found the booty lying
beside the railroad track near Reading,
Pa. The house was searched and an

FEELING OF UNION

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF THE
UNITED STATES WANTS TO
WIPE OUT ALL BITTER FEEL
lNGS OF THE PAST.

Buffalo, n. Y. May 20.-The 116th gen.
eral assembly of the Presbyterian church
of America, now meeting in Buffalo, will
probably be a history-ma~ing body. The
second day of the assembly was replete
with indications of church union that
will greatly strengthen tnat denomina-
tion. Sentiment strongly favored union
with the Cumberland church, while the
Presbyterian church, another southern
body. may come within the fold within
year or two The assembly of the
Cumberland church is now meeting in
Dallas, Tex, and the assembly of the
other southern church is meeting in Mo-
bile, Ala.
The assembly. by an Overwhelming
vote made the report on union with the
Cumberland church special order for
next Thursday.
Subsequently the assembly, with only
one negative vote, went on record as wip-
ing from the minutes of previous assem-
hlies all aspersions and charges refiecting
on the Christian character of the Presby-
terian church in the United States, the
southern body In 1882 the general assem-

things it had said about the northern
church In the civil war days. The north
ern churches reply contained a rider
which was more offensive in the eyes of
the southern church than certain things
TO which the northern church had pre-
viosly given voice In saying that it took
back things 1t had previously said about
the southern assembly, the northern as
sembly took pains to remark that this
action did not include the action of for

Today's action by the ern assem-

MANY HOMES WASHED AWAY
Cache la Pudre River Flows Through
One of the Most Thickly Popu-
=
lated Sections In the
State.

Denver Colo, May ga cloud burst
at the head of the Cache la Pudre river
/ caused that stream to overflow its banks
and meagre reports received here indi-
cate that little damage has been caused
by the flood. The rush of the flood caused
the dam which holds the water at Liv-
ingston lake, IS miles above Fort Collins
to break, and this added volume of water
swept down the Cache In Pudre, prac-
tically wiping out the towns of Liver
more and LaPorte, respectively fourteen
and three miles above Fort Collins. 1t is
reported that one person was drowned
at the former place. AT Fort Collins. the
Russian settlement consisting of about
800 families, is inundated.
In several instances the occupants were
unable to make their escape and were
carried along with their homes. 1t has
not yet been learned whether there was
any loss of life at Fort Collins, but it
seems safe to predict that there has
been.
Although the crest of the flood has not
yet reached Greedy, and Is not expected
until midnight ranchmen and other dwell
ers along the bottoms are moving to the
higher grounds. The Cache la Pudre r1ver
runs through one of the most thiclSly set
tied and richest agricultural districts Of
Colorado.
A .arge portion of the northern state
Is irrigated from stream, and a number
of immense reservoirs have been con-
structed for the purpose of storing the
water. Should the force of the waters
rush weaken these sufficiently to cause
break. and release the stored water
the result could be nothing but disas-
trous.
All the towns along the upper Cache la
Pudre have been entirely cut Off.

running into many thousands of dollars
and of priceless value as helrlooms was
found upon the person of Thomas King,
