Situation at Springfield Shows No
Material Change

Springfield, Ill, May 1S.-Restless-
ness was on the increase today
among the delegates to the Repub-
lican state convention. In the rank
and file there was a growing incli-
nation for recess of thirty days. but
so far as known none of the candi-
dates were favorable to such a
course. Appearances indicated that
the breaking of the deadlock would
be long deferred if the event should
await an agreement between Ncandi-
dates. All night Governor Yates and
his campaign committee remained at
work comforting alternately with the
Dineen and the Lowden leaders 1t
is stated today that while a combi-
nation between the governor and one
or the other of the Cook county can
didates was somewhat nearer than
ever before, nothing had been con-
cluded. Neither Yates, Dineen nor
IoWden were willing to concede that
his chances were less promising than
those of their rivals. No one of the
candidates seems willing to enter a
combination which would eliminate
himself.
The thirty-ninth ballot was sub
stantially the same as the last ballot
Lowden, $50 Y Dineen, 442 Il; Ham
lin, 112; Warner, So; Sherman, ?;

After two more ballots taken with

Fifteen minutes before the opening
of the convention today the Lowden
delegates from northern Illinois
formed a procession and marched
into the hall, led by a. band. Each
carried a big placardA vita the motto

purpose Of offsetting a story to the
effect that Lowden was about to

BIG PLUMBING JOB.
Lewis & Kitchen Awarded High School
Contract for S29, ,2O3.

The board of education last night let
the contract for the heating system for
the manual training school and the
new system for the High school to
Lewis & Kitchen for SIS, ,20s. which was
the lowest bid.
The other bids received for the in
staIlation of the new heating plant in
the High school and the plant for the
manual training school were as fol-
lows: Sturtevant & Co. Chicago, $31, :
103; Conklin & Gustafson, Topeka, $685.
600; Dixon Heating Co., Peoria, S82, =
897; New York Blower Co. Chicago,
$31. $50.
The. contract is for the installation
of the heating systems in the two
buildings but does not provide for the
supplying OF the heat. Alternative
bids were received also for the putting
in of a boiler plant and the heating
systems of the two schools. These bids
for the complete system were as fol-
lows: Lewis & Kitchen, Kansas City,
$3.50; Sturtevant & Co, S48, or; ;Conlz-
lin & Gustafson. So, 100, Dixon Heat
ing Co, s49,2 POS; New York Blower Co..
$4S, $50.
The board decided not to install the
boiler plant as the bids called for a
larger expenditure than the board
wishes to make. A contract will be
made with the Edison company to sup
ply steam to the plants

STILL DEADLOCKED
Illinois Republicans Unable to Agree
on Nominee for Governor.

Springfield, Ill. May 1s.-Two
breaks in the voting in the Illinois
Republican convention, one for Frank
I,owden and one in the interest OF
Chas. S. Dineen, failed to break the
deadlock. and at 9.25 .. m. the con-
vention took a recess until II a. m
today. without materially changing
ing the morning session. when the
Yates votes in Kane and White coun-
ties were thrown to Lowden. After
voting for the latter for two ballots
the delegates returned to Yates, de-
claring that It was useless to remain
longer.
Judge Sherman threw his entire
strength to Chas- $. Dineen, and his
delegates voted with the latter for
two ballots. Dineen gained a few ad-
ditfonal votes but there was no STAN
pede to him, and It was well demon
strated that his claims of heavy coun-
tr-v support were not well founded
Sherman's men will vote for Dineen
and give him until I o'clock to de-
velop his full strength, but no one
believes he will swing the nOmina-
ton. The Yates men are standing
firm. The Lowden delegates held a
meeting last night at which they re-
newed their fidelity TO LoWden ana
decided to stand by him to the end.

before the convention adjourned. re-
suited: Yates. 490; Lowden, 393 X

BREACH IS CLOSED
Rival Republican Factions in Arlzan-
sas Get Together.

Little Rock, Ark, May Estate
conventions were held in Little Rock
Tuesday by the regular Republicans
of Arkansas and by the faction Of the
party known as the ''insurgents"
which broke away from the regular
organization two years ago. Only one
candidate for governor and one set
of presidential electors were nomi-
mated. An agreement was reached
which is expected to result in the
uniting of the two factions before the
opening of the campaign. General
Powell Clayton, United States am
bassador to Mexico, was a delegate
in the regular convention and was
active in the peace movement.
Harry H. Myers, of Little Rock,
was nominated for governor without
opposition, and no nominations We're
made for other state officers. The
delegates to the national convention
were instructed for Roosevelt. H. l..
Hemmel. Sid. b. Redding, NJ. w.
Gibbs and Chas. n. Dix were elected
delegates at large to the national con-
vention. Gibbs is a negro.
The insurgent state convention en-
dorsed Roosevelt and adopted reso-
lutions urging its members to vote for
the electors selected by the regular
Republicans.

BALLOTING BEGINS.
Methodist Conference Enters Upon the
Election of Eight Bishops.

Los Angeles. May 1S.-The crowd
that besieged Hazards pavilion early
this morning, seeking admittance to
the Methodist conference in order to
observe the balloting for bishops,
which had been fixed as the special
order of the day, was unusually large.
Every seat was filled by o'clock and
hundreds We're turned away from the
doors, although offering all sorts of
prices for seats.
The conference took up the call of
the annual conferences for memorial Is
imme ediately after the regular devo-
tional exercises and spent the entire
morning session up to 10:45 in hear
ing resolutions and referring them to
proper committees. There was moth
ing of striking importance in any of
the resolutions and the delegates
seemed anxious TO refer everything
without debate in order to reach the
all important matter of balloting for
bishops.
Two resolutions were presented by
colored delegates from the south. pro-
testing against the crime of lynching,
and asking the conference to put
itself on record as cOndemning these
outrageS. Ghey were passed without
extended debate.
An unusual feature of the morning
session was the first appearance of a
woman delegate upon the platform.
Mrs. Medora Nichols of the Nebraska
conference, presented a resolution,
which was adopted urging every pas
tor to preach at least once each year
upon law enforcement. Mrs. Nichols
spoke for five minutes on the laxity of
both church and state in the enforce
ment of their laws.
Recess was taken at 1O:45 and upon
reassem bling Bishop Hamilton. who
was presiding, asked the delegates to
devote ten minutes to prayer, seeking
divine guidance in the important duty
before them. Tellers were then ap-
pointed and the first ballot for bishops
was cast. The result may not be
known today as = will require con-
sidera bic time for the tellers to tally
up the votes for the many candidates.
It was the opinion of many delegates
this morning that the work of select
ing the eight bishops will require sew
eraI days, possibly a week.

ter. 1t may be more expensive than
it was last said a Topeka coal dealer
today.
Another dealer stated that he had
just closed a contract for supplying
several large summer consumers with
southern Kansas coal at a higher
price than he furnished the same coal
last winter.
What it will be by winter time I
don't know" said this dealer. 1.-The
operators say they may make a re-
duction in September, provided they
can compel the miners to accept a
lower scale of wages"
One dealer gave it as his opinion
that the only hope for lower price on
coal next winter is the outcome of the
coal trust lawsuit. IF some of those
fellows will go on the stand and tell
the TRUTH said the dealer, they will
bust the combine. and the chances are
Trey will stick some of those chaps in
jail. I believe there are some of tn ose
operators that can be scared into
telling the truth if the lawyers go
after them right. Unless they do tell
the truth, 1 believe the state can get
them for perjury, so they are up
against it whatever they do"
Burlingame and Usage coal, which
summer coal because it is not used
in furnaces and factories and there
fore finds its sale mostly in winter
time, is off just now.
John Jack, who is one of the head
men in the Usage county coal COM
btne. was in Topeka last week, and
sold a good deal of Usage and Bur-
lingame at from so to IS cents per
ton less than the dealers have been
paying throughout the winter. In
stead of holding the price of Bur
lingame to $500 f o. b. he placed a
good many tons here for immediate
delivery at 50 and S2.10.
'I believe that Jack did this" said
Topeka dealer, Gin order that 1t
might be said in court that he was not
holding fixed price on coal, and to
make it appear that every operator
could come into the retail market and
fix whatever price he pleased. He will
probably subpoena some of us to tes-
tify to that when he comes on for
trial.
Here are the prices at which Usage
and Burlingame have been sold in To-
peka in the month of May during the

The dealers claim that they have not
been able to make as much money selling
coal at s4.5O during the past winter as
they used to make selling it at $3.50 and
50 90. For that reason many of them are

continuation of the high prices on coal,
said a Topeka dealer. THE operators are
outrage to pay $3.50 a ton for Burlingame.
There is not that amount of heat in it, as
compared with other Goals. Every one of
the coal operators has been coming money
at a great rate during the past winter.
The excuse that they had to raise the
winters wages Is merely a subterfuge.
That increase did not amount to more
than five cents a ton. The increase in
price has been going into the operator 5
pocket and dealers who are not also oper-
ators. want to see the old prices re-
It is to be observed. however, that in
spite of the fact that John Jack has been
selling Usage and Burlingame coal on the
has been no reduction in the retail price.
In this case it seems to be the retailer
who is pocketing the extra so cents One
Topeka dealer explained this state of af-
fairs as follows:
''The dealers here in town are continu-
ing the old prices on Usage and Burling-
aTne for the reason, as Paul Morton says,
that we can. There IS no especial compe-
tition for coal business Just as TINS tune.
The dealers are simply al1ing what bust
ness comes along A little later in the
season. when the demand for coal be-
comes more brisk. I expect TO see some
slight reductions in the price of Usage
ana BurIingame. But it is also probable
that at about the same time the combine
down in Usage. county will get together
and hold up the price again. There is
more likely to be an advance than a de-
cline for the winter coal"
re coal combine is not quite so bold as
it was before the antitrust proceedings
were commenced. 1t does not announce
its meetings so publicly, but it is claimed
that the meetings are still held here in
Topeka. Every few weeks number of
the Usage county operators drop Off at
the Santa. Fe depot and come up town,
but it is said that the meetings are not
held at c. J. Devlin's office, as they used
to be.
