Washington, d. c., June %. - SEQ
retary Cortelyou of the department Of
commerce and labor left last evening
for Chicago to attend the republican
national convention.
Advices received by President
Roosevelt and others here from con-
yention leaders indicate all doubt OF
Cortelyou's selection as national chair
man has been removed entirely. Such
opposition as existed to Cortelyou has
disappeared and the belief in authori-
tative quarters here is that he will be
elected unanimously by the new ma
tional committee at its meeting subse-
quent to the adjournment of the con.
yention. Much opposition to him was
based on the allegation that he was
once democrat and is at heart free
tlader.

WAS A PROMINENT ELK.
Past Grand Exalted Ruler M. 3. Det.
wiIer Dies at Harrisburg, Pa.

Cincinnati, O., June 22.-The news
of the sudden death of Past Grand Elk
allied Ruler Meade B. Detwiler, OF the
B. P. o. e., at his home at Harrisburg,
Pa, was received in Cincinnati
through telegram to Past Grand Ex-
alted Ruler Calvin from Grand Exalt-
ed Ruler Jarvis P. Tanning. Colonel
petwiler was elected grand exalted
ruler at the session of the grand lodge
in this city in 1896. n
One year later he was re- elected at
Minneapolis. He had for ma lRrs
been closely identified With the y ~ ~
devoted to its principles and ct d.
times active in the advancemenE of III
interests. M
He was especially active In the work
of establishing the national home for
members of the order, an6, at the time
of his death was president of the board
of trustees.
His death comes as shock to the
Elks of Cincinnati, and numerous tele-i
grams of coincidence have been sent by
them to Colonel Detwiler's family. AZ
large number of the fraternity will at
tend the funeral.
Colonel Detwiler was also prominent
in republican politics in Pennsylvania.
and stood in the front rank Of the legal
profession Of the state. Few Elks were
more widely known than he, and the
regret over his death is sincere.

INDIANA sURRENDERs SENATOR.
In Giving Fairbanks for Vice President
the State Loses

Chicago, June 22.-"Indiana will
submit gracefully to the inevitable" I"
was one way in which delegates from
the Hoosier state expressed their atti-
tude yesterday toward the "foregone
conclusion" that Senator Fairbanks
would be nominated tomorrow for vice
president. The senator himself main
tained his silence and will not speak to
to the point, say his friends, until he
has been declared the choice of the
convention
The Indiana delegation almost to a
man, deplores the fact that Fairbanks
is to be nominated, believing the SEN
ator's political future is to be curtail-
ed and restricted by his leaving the
floor of the upper house of congress
for the chair of it's presiding officer.
However, with the agile adaptability
of born politicians, they practically
completed yesterday their plans for his
nomination.
DoIiver to Name Fairbanks.
AS a result it is fairly well estab-
ed that when the roll of states is call
ed tomorrow for candidates for vice
presidential nomination, Alabama. the
first in line, will give precedence to
Iowa, and Senator DolIiver will then
rise and present the name of Fair
banks. 1t is believed there will he no
other nominations.
Speeches seconding the Iowa nomi-
nation will be made by Senator Depew
of New York, Senator Penrose Of
Pennsylvania, Senator Foraker of
Ohio, and ex-senator Carter, Of Mon
tana.
