President Holman stated that while
he did not desire to become sensa-

torical effort, he felt that he. was in
duty bound to make known the views
that he held on such an important
question and incidentally move an
amendment to the report.
President Holman Protests.

portunity to present a minority report
in writing was denied me by the COM
mittee," he began, land this makes it
necessary that resort to the 11nsatis-

fully prepared report.
In saying that 1 was refused the
right to make a minority report, it is
not meant that the other members
were discourteous in their treatment,
but I was, nevertheless, denied the
time and opportunity to make neces-
sary preparation.
ITO give an idea of my reasons for
being opposed to the adoption of this
report it is necessary to state facts
connected with the bidding to furnish
text books. When the bids were taken
in charge by the committee they were
cut open, and without being read were
left lying on the table, the committee
adjourning and leaving the bids where
they lay. At later meeting the bids
were considered. There were but two
members of the committee present, and

therefore not a regular meeting of the

JUROR is TOO FRANK
Therefore Alleged Wife MUIR
derer Gets Another Trial.


Special to The Globe.
DES MONIES. Iowa, June 2.-Saved
from a life sentence in the peniten-
tiary by single burst Of enthusiasm
on the part of a juror, Charles w.
Graves will be tried for the second
time in the Polk county criminal court
Monday for numbering his wife and
burning her body. Graves was found
guilty of the deed Of which he was
accused and the verdict being murder
in the first degree the jury recon-
mended life Imprisonment.
But during the trial, when the states
attorney struck back wittily at the
accused's attorney in a lively repair
tee, one of the jurors clapped his
hands. Then when he entered the jury
room he stated to the jurors he had
known the Graves family all his life
and they were "a bad lot" This block
ed the pronouncing of sentence, as the
court explained it could hardly be con-
sidered a man had fair trial with
such juror on the panel
The defense in the first trial was
epilepsy, but this proved so weak it is
said 1t will not be used in the second
effort to save the mans life. Graves
has offered to plead guilty to murder
in the second degree, for by so doing
he would have the chance of pardon,
but the state is persistent and win
fight for a verdict Of murder in the
first degree.

RUNS FUR { FENCE"
Confesses Having Professional
Thieves In His Employ. !

NEW YORK, June 2.-Samuel FL
larsky, silent partner Of the defunct
United States Fur company, of this
city, who, with Emanuel Sidman,
president of the concern, is charged
with grand larceny, toaay made a con-
fession to Assistant District Attorney
Garvan, indicating that the company
was a clearing house for fur thieves
all over the country.
Filarsky said, according to Mr.. Gar
van, that Sidman had many profess
sional thieves in his employ, and that
he even supplied them with money
and tools, and as the business increas-
ed he organized the United States Fur
company to better dispose of the goods
thus obtained. The company was en-
abled to undersell it's competitors and
many fur dealers had been watching
its operations with suspicious eyes for
a long time.

o. E. Holman, president of the board
of school Inspectors, strongly and bit
terly opposed the acceptance of the
text book bids by the board of school
inspectors yesterday, as reported by
Supt Smith and indorsed by the COM
mittee on text books, but he was out
voted, and later publicly reprimanded
by Inspector Fisher.
There was but little said except by
Messrs. Holman and Fisher, and al
though there was an effort on the
part of both to preserve a strictly i'm
personal attitude, the charge of Presi-
dent Holman that the text book prop
Osition was dominated by the book
trust, and the answer. of Inspector
Fisher that he thought President Hol-
man had previously and was then
overstepping the prerogatives of his
position as president of the board,
were understood in the sense that they
were meant.
President Holman brought with him
from the secret meeting that had been
held just previous by the text book
committee a number of notes, and DIR.

carried typewriter reports. Until the
report on the grade books, signed by

The result of that investigation was,
we found, as to politics, that Parker
supported Bryan in 1896 and 1900, and
supported him vigorously; and, more
than that, we found he was a large
contributor financially to the campaign
fund in his own state. We investigated
his record as jurist, going carefully
over his decisions in regard to trusts
and the labor question, and in every
instance we found that his decisions
were consistent as well as just"

PRIZE BANGLES
BEFORE LOWDEN
Yates Strength Goes to Him,
but Doesn't Stay There. and
a Small Riot Develops.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June "A des-
perate effort of Republican leaders to
break the deadlock in the state con-
vention failed today and this evening
the assemblage took a recess until to-
morrow without having nominated a
candidate for governor.
The attempt to bring about the break
was spectacular one. Ex-Congress-
man Walter Reeves, chairman of the
committee on resolutions, and Chair
man Cannon engineered the plan, which
was made possible by the report of
the committee on resolutions, which
presented the resolution which it orig
mated and which was referred to the
committee at yesterdays session. This
resolution was to the effect that the
delegates be released from instructions,
and when it was presented Mr.. Reeves
called upon the candidates, one by one,
to come before the convention and ex-
press their opinion regarding it. Each
declared in favor of the resolution.
John w. Parker, the author of the res
olution, urged it's adoption.
Cannon Begs Hard.
Congressman Cannon pleaded with
the delegates to break the deadlock.
He declared that they must compro-
mise and called attention to the fact
that the convention, by it's inaction,
was injuring the Republican party not
only in Illinois, but in the entire ma
ton.
Let's adopt this resolution" he said,
"and then nominate a ticket, and let's
do it today"
There was not a vote against the
resolution, but when the roll was call
ed on the sixty-seventh ballot there
was no substantial change from the
ballots of the previous day. On the
next ballot taken before the noon re-
cess number of the uninstructed del
egates voted for Judge Sherman, who
received eighty votes.
In the afternoon the long expected
break from Yates to Lowden came, and
he got the vote of Speaker Cannons
district as well as the votes Of sew
eral other counties and some scatter
ing delegates.
Lowden's Vote Reaches 631.
For several ballots his vote increased
until he reached 6311s. Then the tide
turned and on the closing ballot, the
seventy eighth, his vote had dropped
to 53215. 1t requires 752 to nominate.

Carl Berg killed Geuford at Wau-
seon, Ohio, in July, 1903, when Berg
and Sam Bannister held up and robbed
a carload of tramps. Berg and Ban
mister boarded a freight car at Butler,
Ind, and as they neared Wauseon,
drew revolvers and compelled eight
other tramps who were in the car to
hold up their hands while they were
relieved of their money, less than $40
in all.
Win McFarlan, a Chicago man, did
not respond quickly enough to suit
Berg, who kicked him and in the ex-
citement John Geuford made a dash
for the car door, which was partially
open. The train was slowing up for
Wauseon and Geuford jumped. While
he was in midair, Berg sent a bullet
through his brain. Bannister escaped
but Berg was caught at Wauseon.
Berg's stepfather is Carl Lund, of
Minneapolis.

CONGRESSMAN,

There is no man on the republican

praDle Franklin L. Brooks, nominee for

During the last session of congress,
which was Mr.. Brooks first. he accom-
piiShed m.re good work fer the people
Of this state, and the state at large,
1han was accomplished by John T..
Shatgoth during all the years of his
membership in lhe house. Mr.. Brooks
was ut,tlring in his efforts TO put
through congress measures for the
benefit uf @ dorado and for her people
generally, and his success in This par.
ticulat was almost phenomenal. No
request from his constituents was too
trivial to receive his consideration,
and every bill introduced by him re-
ceived his personal attention until it
reached IA successful issue.
As an evidence of the work done by
Congressman Brooks in the last seS-
sion Of congress, and OF the high es-
TEEN in which he is held by his col
leagues in the iousa. we print below
