THE SALEM
CONVENTION

Salem, O., Aug. 2S.-A rumor of a
political deal trying to be pushed
through here tonight at ate hour
is that Kennedy forces, in considera-
tion of an offer to pay Grants cam
paign expenses and insure him po-
litical appointment worth more mon
ey than a congressman's salary, pro-
pose that Grant snail retire from the
race in favor of the Youngstown man.
The proposition will not, SO It's said
be listened to by the Grant forces
who now have the situation well in
hand This is not voucned for au-
thoritatively, but is one of the many
rumors of deals afloat.

POLITICAL LEADERS
See No Change In the Congressional
Outlook-McCulloch Makes
Prediction.

Salem, O., Aug. 28.-The situation
tonight stands exactly as it did a
week ago at Youngstown, according
to the opinions. of the chairmen of the
various delegations To the News, F.
A. Norris said: Il can positively see
no daylight through the cloud that
for the past week has hung like a pail
over the district" Judge U. c. De-
Ford, for Speaker, said that there
was nothing new and so far as he
could see there was no solution of
the problem in sight" Roscoe Nc
Culloch, of Stark, said there was no
change in the situation, but there
would be something doing tomorrow.
So far Grant has offered to go into
any deal that would be fair to all the
candidates. For instance: He has
offered to release all his delegates and
let them vote as they please, secretly,
If they choose, provided that Kennedy
and Speaker will do the same. This
they refuse to do.
If they still persist in standing out
1t is said on very good authority that
Grant will agree to a new primary on
the popular vote plan and go into
every county in the district. He has
assurances that he can carry many
precincts.
The East Liverpool members of the
Columbiana delegation will hold a
caucus tomorrow morning at which
time it is reported that they will break
from Speaker and go to Kennedy. II
this is agreed upon Grant will get
enough votes from Salem and vicin-
ity to insure his nomination on the
first ballot after the break comes.

of August, 1906, for the consideration
of five cents the defendant received

She says at the intersection of

line she was riding, there was at that
time a sharp curve in the tracks
which it was necessary to pass over;
that the car on which she was a pas
senger was running at that point at a
high rate of speed and she was thrown
from the car to the pavement, sustain
ing serious injuries to her person, In
this, that both bones of the right leg
were broken and her entire right side
was badly bruised. She says she has

cur liability for medical attention
and nursing in the sum of 5000. She
claims she suffered great mental an

tlOHS HIIJSC.
Salem, O., Aug. 28.-This good old
Quaker city is in holiday attire and
every business man in the city
seems to have appointed himself a
committee of one to do his level best
in entertaining the delegates and Wis

to attend the second weeks perform

The Stark delegation came in on
the Stark Electric cars at 10, IL, IL
and l o'clock, and every car was met
by the Quaker City band which es-
corted the delegates and Grant rooters
to the Metzgar.
The Columbiana delegation and fol-
lowers for Speaker came in by steam
and trolley cars, automobiles and bug
gies, and we're as enthusiastic for
their candidate as they were at
Youngstown last week.
The city is gaily decorated and from
housetops, business places and the
tops of public buildings wave thous-
ands of American flags.
NO CHANGE IN SENTIMENT.
A News representative, during the
hours before the convention was call
ed to order, made strenuous efforts to
get line on something which look
ed like break in some of the dele
cations, but to all inquiries the reply
from the leaders was, I'VE came tc
Salem more determined than ever tC
nominate our man and we will stay
till we do"
There is no possibility of nomina-
tion being made today nor this week
with the present determined attitude
of both the candidates and their lead

CONVENTION DETAILS

Salem, O., Aug. SS.--At the opera
house here this afternoon at 1920
O'Clock Chairman Jackson called the
Republican congressional convention
to order and introduced Rev. w. L.
Swan, of the Presbyterian church,
who offered prayer in which he ask
ed the wisdom of Divine guidance in
the deliberations of the convention.
During the prayer there was quiet and
divine silence on the part of the del
egates.
The Citizens band of Youngstown
which accompanied the Kennedy del
egation, and the Quaker City band of
Salem were both in the gallery and
between ballots rendered popular mu-
sic. The rest land BATH which the
delegates all seemed to have had since
the convention took the recess in
Youngstown, evidently did the dele
gates good as they appeared fresh,
vigorous and leather-lunged, as
throughout the session there was
noise and confusion such as one would
hardly expect in a quiet Quaker town,
but to the credit of all candidates,
| delegates and boosters there was
no manifestation of ugliness. Rather
| it was a display of earnestness which
! indicated that each county would re-
main loyal to its candidate for an
other day or two at least
DAFT nrINn CrrADTUn
Without wasting any time with a
long -winded speech Chairman Jackson
announced at the close of Rev. Swans
prayer that the convention would
proceed to take ballot for the pur-
pose of nominating a candidate for
congress in the Eighteenth district of
Ohio. The secretary called the roll
and on the 251st ballot there was no
change from the last ballot taken at
Youngstown last Friday, excepting
that Grant was short Kaisers vote
from Mahoning. Speaker received 76,
| Kennedy 68, and Grant ia.
| Amidst yells, cheers, vocal and in
strumental music and lusty yelling
the balloting proceeded without change
until the 273d ballot was commenced
when it was shown that Grant had
gained one, Kaiser, of Mahoning
county, having come in and cast his
vote for Grant, making the total,
Grant lis, Speaker 76 and Kennedy
68.

1 From this time on to the 380th vote
the balloting monotonously proceed
ed, with no change. By this time the
lungs of the rooters had become ex-
hausted and the proceedings assumed
funereal aspect, interspersed as oc-
casion required, by droll and taking
remarks from Chairman Lamar Jack
son, who has already made himself q
favorite with the spectators in the
gallery and the society ladies of Sa.

Before the 381st vote was taken
Judge U. c. DeFord, of Columbians
county, was called on for a song. He
responded by saying he would be glac
to comply if the secretary would con.
tinue to call the roll. He proceeded
after Chairman Jackson piped in with

change, after which at 4:40 the con-
vention adjourned until 10 o'clock to-

Marshall S. Fouch, through his at
torneys, Sterling & Braucher, yester-
day filed his petition in common pleas
court against his wife, Mary E. Fouch,
alleging that he was married on or
about the 18th day of March, 1892,
and has ever since conducted himself
toward his wife as a faithful and
dutiful husband. He says his wife
in disregard of her marital duties has
been guilty of gross neglect of duty
for more than seven years. He states
his business is that of a stationary
engineer and that he is at present
employed at the Fairmount Children s
home and has been for the past seven
years; that his wife during that time
refused and failed to live with him
at the home against his earnest pro-
tests, notwithstanding the fact that
she had there comfortable place OF
residence and was well provided with
all the necessaries and comforts of
life, with no work outside of her own
housework to do.
He says his wife is extravagant,
spending more money than one in her
station in life should, often taking
long trips and that she purchased a
diamond ring for $50 against his pro-
test; that his wife remains at her
home in Wooster, Ohio, and refuses to
take any interest in his business or in
his home, refusing to make his home
pleasant and comfortable; that she
denies him her society and attendance
as wife, Notwithstanding the fact
that during all of the time he pro-
vided for all of her comforts and ne
cessities.
For the reasons stated he asks the
court to dissolve the marriage con-
tract.

should. He states his wife has been
guilty of willful absence for more than
three years, ever since February, 1903
and that she has failed and refused
to live with him.
Wherefore he prays that he may be
divorced from his wife ahd that he
may have such other and further re
