JOSIAH TURNER'S INSURANCE.
Remarkable Life Insurance Payment
on q Policy That Was Lost.

Hon. Josiah Turner, Jr., insured his
life in the Connecticut Mutual, Janu-
airy II. 1868, and a few years later
took a paid up policy for $3.50. Mr..
S. ID. Wait was in Hillsboro a few
weeks ago and asked Mr.. Chester D.
Turner if he and the other two chill
dren had received their fathers in
surance. He answered no, and added
that they had not the scratch of a
pen to show that he had any insur-
ance.
The following letter explains itself:
Mr.. S. d. Wait
Dear Sir: / wish to thank you for
your kindness and prompt attention,
and the material assistance you rend-
cred in procuring the payment of an
insurance policy on my fathers life
(Josiah Turner, who died three years
AGO.
Although 1 never heard of the ex-
istence of this policy until Il few
weeks ago, you informed me of it's
existence and rendered such material
assistance in establishing the clainI
that | deem it my duty to express to
You and your company CThe Conn.
Mutual Life) my sense of gratitude.
Respectfully,
CHESTER ID. TURNER.

A WORD WITH GORMAN.
4 Statement i'm Answer to Il Charge OF
Attempting to Knife Parker.
(By the Associated Press.

Washington, June Ex-senator
German toFay made the following
statement regarding the report that
he and National Committeeman Cuff
frey of Pennsylvania, Mclean of Ohio,
Smith of New Jersey, and others had
held conference here for the purpose
of aScertaining how many votes could
be combined in the convention against
Judge Parker, the object being to Sc
cure more than one-third of the con-
vention in order to prevent his nom
nation:
1.-THE persistenCy and regularity
with which statements of this char
acter have recently appeared would
seem to indicate a studied desire to
misrepresent. The fact is that all the
conferences 1 have attended have re-
lated solely to the proper organiza-
ton of the convention, which it is the
duty of members of the National com
mittee to conSedr. So far as | am
concerned L have not been a party to
any arrangement for effecting a COM
bination to Obstruct the efforts of any
candidate for the nomination"
AS for the two-thirds rule, it is
necessary where the unit rule obtains,
as on Democratic conventions: but in
no case, since the adoption of the two
thirds rule, has any nomination been
prevented when a candidate has had
a clear and undoubted majority of the
convention, and where this majority
is composed of delegates from Demo-
cratic States. They have always con-
trolled the convention.

Syracuse One Huge Mouth
of Happy Grins.
IT'S TWO OUT OF THREE
In the Fonr Mile Eight Oar Varsity And
in the Freshman Two Mile Eiuht
Oar Race Syracuse Wins by
Handsome Mar
gin.
(By the Associated Press

Poughkeepsie, ~ Y, June Is
Corneifs supremacy is broken and
the Syracuse men in town tonight are
in a state of hilarious delight, for in
two out of three races on the Pough-
keepsie today, the only race in which
she was entered, the crews of SYRIA
cuse University won its victory from
the sons of Cornell.
IN the four mile eight oar varsity
race, and in the freshmen, two mile
eight oar race the Syracuse oarsmen
won by handsome margins, coming
out of obscurity so marked that last
night the friends of Syracuse could
not find takers for bets of 10 to II.
Cornell won the four oar varsity race
with ease.
Wisconsin, which was thought to
threaten all competitors in the four
oar and varsity races, was never a
factor, coming in next to last in the
four oar race and last in the varsity
Columbia, whose mysterious doings
up stream have led to a good deal of
Solicitude on the part of all her COM
petitors did well in the four cared
race in which she came in second,
though she made but feeble showing
in the others, coming in last in the
freshman race ana fourth In the var
sity. No records were broken. Indeed
the last was slower than for three
years in two of the races and more
than minute and a half slower than
last years varsity race.
In the varsity Fights Cornell led off
at the pistol shot in characteristic
style. but lost her lead almost inn
mediately to Syracuse. which, with a
quick stroke pulled out ahead with
lead which they never lost during
the race, and which was increased to
five lengths at the finish. Near the
two-mile mark Cornell in a great
burst of speed, did press her sturdy
rival on almost even terms.
The real race was between the
other four crews. Wisconsin for a
time fought hard for third place, but
after the second mile she fell steadily
out of it and finished rather badly at
the tail of the procession. George
town made a fine struggle also for
third place, but could not maintain
the tremendous pace and finally had
to give way to both@ennsylvania and
Columbia.

RUINS DUMONT'S AIRSHIP.
Some Vandal Cut the Gas Bag Almost
Into Ribbons.
(By the Associated Press.)

Worlds Fair Grounds, st. Louis
Mo-, June 2S.-Some time during the
night the gas bag of Santos DumOnts
air ship was cut and slashed in such
a manner as to prelude all possibility
of its being repaired in time to allow
an ascension on July 4th. The work
was apparently done with a jack
knife. There are at least twenty long
rips in the bag, and Prof. Carl Mey-
ers, who has charge of the aeronautic
contests, declares today that it will
take at least two weeks to repair the
damage.
The big gas bag had not yet been
taken from the crate in which it came
from Paris. Being of an adhesive
material, the bag was hung in folds
from Stats nailed near the top of the
crate and in this way was prevented
from becoming a solid mass, because
of its own weight There were sew
eral folds of the bag over each Stat,
and the vandal drew his knife across
it cutting through from two to four
thickneSses of the matter with a slash.
The work was evidently done in haste
as there were about a dozen Stats
covered with folds of the bag, and
only four or five of them were cut.
When the damage was discovered a
messenger was sent to Mr.. DumOnt
at the Hamilton Hotel and he hurried
to the scene.
"Well, he said, after q critical ex-
animation of the damaged bag, sit is
just as L tod the fair people. This
place is not secure enough"
What will you do?" was asked.
81 do not know" was the reply
81 must first see just how much
damage has been done. 1t will be
impossible to get a new bag, and il
an ascension is made, this one must
be repaired. / can think of no rea-
son why any one should want to de-
stroy my air ship"

other similar charge, today made a
complete confession to Circuit Attor-
ney Joseph W. Folk, in which he de-
clared that former Delegate Charles
f. Kelley had told him he had re-
ceived $4,000 for going to Europe
when his presence in ST. Louis jeopar-
died men of prominence. Kelley
also resting under one conviction, is
soon to be tried on another case.
Circuit Attorney Folk attaches
great Importance to the revelations
which have been made by Gutke He
said that they opened UP many new
avenues of investigation and that if
brought things to light which have
not been heard of before, involving
the men higher up.
When he came from the circuit at
torney's office, Gutke handed out fol
publication written extracts from his
confession, of which the following is
part:
THE first bill that came up after
/ had become member of the com
bine in the House of Delegates was
the Suburban Loop bill The combine
got $4,000 for their votes on this
ill; on the Union Avenue bill we
$4,000; on the Central Traction
got $4,000; on the Third
Lane bill we got $4,000; on
Lighting bill we got $4,000; on
Suburban bill we were to get
900, which is now on the safe de-
sit box in the Lincoln Trust Com
any, being placed there with the
tSreement that it should be turned
over to us when the bill had been
passed
While these are some of the larg-
est brides secured during my term of
office, there were innumerabIe others
ranging from $4,000 for switching
bills to a few hundred dollars for
some minor privilege. The bride
prices were fixed in meetings of the
combine.
We. would select an agent of the
combine by ballot to negotiate for
and receive the money. This agent
would distribute the money amongst
US. From my intimate knowledge of
dealings which this combine and from
INFORMATION secured on what has
been going on here for the last quar-
ter of a century, ] make the positive
statement that there is hardly a COR
poration in the city of st. Louis of
$250,000 and over, that has not either
been held up for bride money or
brought official action from the COM
bined House of Delegates
Gutke said that the doodle" gang
in St. Louis has already planned to
capture the circuit attorneys office
at the next election.
