REPUBLICANS
WILL MEET
In Convention at Little Rock on
May 3lst.

The Republican State Conven-
ton will be called to meet Thurs
day, May 81, and the ratio of
representation will be the vote
cast for Hon Harry H. Myers
for governor in 1904, according
to a resolution adopted by the
republican executive committee,
which met in Little Rock Wednes-
day. This will give the conven-
tion 342 delegates, as compared
to 297 in that of two years ago
and will make important changes
in the delegations of a number of
the counties.
Besides fixing the date and
representation from the counties,
important rules were laid down
by the committee governing the
time and manner Of calling coun-
ty conventions to elect delegates
to the state convention. These
rules are intended as safeguards
to absolute regularity in all parts
of the state, and are regarded as
of the first importance by mem
bers of the executive committee.
The basis Of representation to
the state convention will be one
delegate from each county. and
one delegate for every 200 votes,
and one additional delegate for
every fraction of 200 votes over
100 votes cast for Harry II. Ny
ers in 1904.
The specific rules laid down by
the committee are that chairmen
and secretaries shall call county
committees to meet tc fix the
date OF the county conventions

Incc was taken to the scatfold.
This time MS step was just as
steady as on the first occasion.
When he reached the trap door
he bid good-by to Father Horan
and the officers in charge and
declared 3gain his willingness to
meet death. As ne 5teDped on
the trap door there uasuo faIter-

adjusting the black cap and

At 1912 o'clock Sheriff Briggs

ward His neck was broken by
the fall and when the body was
cut down 70 minutes afterWard
the physicians pronounced him
dead The body was buried in a

During the day Ince was
guarded by a heavy guard to
prevent his making another at

in the jail here prior to being
taken to the penitentiary at Lit
tie Rock he made two unsuccess-
ful attempts to escape, and Che
officers placed guards about him
to prevent his making such am
attempt at this time.
The crime for which Ince was
hanged is without parallel in the
criminal records of Arkansas. On
the night of March ), 1905, in his
home near Whitley, Yell county,
with an axe lnce split the skulls
Of his sleeping wife and three
children. the latter ranging in
age from A months to 4 years,

was not discovered until theneXt
morning, Meanwhile Ince walk
ed to Danville, a distance of II
miles, and told the authorities of
the murder, He was taken to
the scene of the deed and he
then admitted his guilt, but gave
no explanation of his brutal act.
Great Indignation was caused
by the quadruple murder and af-
ter Ince was taken into custody
and placed in jail at Danville
there was much talk of lynching
him. A special term Of Circuit
Court was speedily called, how
ever, and Ince was indicted and
tried at Danville within three
weeks after the commission of
the crime. A plea Of insanity
was presented in his behalf and
expert testimony was adduced
along this line. In the opinion

H. l.. REMMEL
NAMED
As U. S. Marshal of Eastern Dis
trict of Arkansas.


The nomination Of Hon. H. L.
R9mmel of Little Rock as United
State marshal of the eastern dis
trict of Arkansas was sent to the
senate by President Roosevelt
yesterday, according to a dis
patch from Washington to the
Gazette.
Mr.. Remmel will succeed Col.
A. S. Fowler, who has held the
office for one term of four years.
The appointment puts an end
to one Of the most bitter fights
that has occurred within the
ranks of the Republicans in this
state for years, and is regarded
as the most signal victory won
by the regular Republican organ
ization since the days Of the in
sUrgents.
Mr.. Remmel is chairman Of the
Republican State Central Com
mittee. and in that capacity re-
presents the organization. His
appointment was declared last
night by Republican leaders to
indicate that the president has
full confidence in the organiza-
ton, and will recognize 1t on
every occasion where it is posi-
BILE.
Mr.. Remmel secured the Ell
dorsement of the Republican
State Central Committee at the
meeting held in this city Decem-
Der 20 last. Col. Fowler was an
applicant for reappointment, but
as it was apparent that Mr.
Remmel would secure the en-
dorsement Of the committee Cot.
Fowler name was not presented
to the committee as an applicant.
Several of his adherents how
ever, announced that they intend
ed to vote for him in the commit
tee as "a protest against the act
ION Of the organization
Mr. Remmei received the eu-
dorsement by a vote Of y to =.
Col Fowler then took his case
direct to the president and the
fight on the organization began.
Both Col. Fowler and Mr. Rem
mel secured petitions from all
parts Of the district and these
were presented to the president.
In addition to this, both Mr..
Kennel and Col. Fowler made
personal calls upon the president.
Mr. Remmel spent nearly two
weeks at Washington. but this
time was spent chiefly, it was
stated, in the interest OF the
other candidates who received
the endorsement of the commit
tee for various federal positions.
1t was reported that Col.
Fowler relied principally upon
the support of Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts, Senator Foraker
of Ohio, Senator Warner Of
Missouri and Corporal Tanner,
commander-in-chief Of the Grand
Army Of the Republic.
Mr.. Remmel had the advant-
age Of having the hearty support
Of Gen. Powell Clayton, the
leader Of Arkansas Republicans.
Gen. Clayton has spent a large
part Of the past W 0ter in Wash
ington and has had frequent
conferences with the president,
1t is known that his influence
was eXerted in behalf Of Mr..
Remmel.
The appointment Of Mr. Rem
mel is regarded by his friends as
a complete vindication. Four
years ago he was removed by
President Roosevelt from the
office Of internal revenue collector
as the result of an agreement

Everybody had to work. said Mary
M. Dillon when speaking of the situa-

everybody was willing to work. The
stories that the people are running
disorderly and mad about the streets
is absolutely false.
"There is almost perfect order. MY
shoulders are sore from carrying sticks
to hold up tents. My hands are torn
because we had to do all kinds of
work.
1.-THE soldiers have done great deal
of good. They are taking care of the
old people, and you can see them run
for block to grab up yalise or
bundle of clothing that is being dragged
along by some old man or woman.

your beautiful Pacific avenue home

down or badly damaged and a great

ut must be a great satisfaction to you
that your place is unharmed as you
planned and built it at cost of nearly

here, the beautiful interior finish Of
ebony, mahogany and other woods will
be all right. but the fire is now raging
within four blocks to the east and
north and may sweep this district at
any time.

GL DOM ONLY TRANSIENT,
SAYS ONE PREACHER
BEAUTIFUL BOW IN EVERY DARK
CLOUD
Gods Everlasting Covenant Always
kept--Sorrow and Weeping Endure
for a Night, but Singing and JOY
Come With the Dawn

1.-THE Bow in the Cloud was the
TOPIC Of Rev. Robert j. Burdette, pas
tor of the Temple Baptist church, yes
terday morning. He took for his text
Genesis 8: Is. II do set my bow in the
cloud, and it shall be for token OF q
covenant between me and the earth. !"
He said in part:
1.-THE token of an everlasting coven-
ant between God and every living crea-
ture of all flesh that is upon the earth.
Forevermore the shining sun is behind
the frowning cloud.
Sorrow and weeping may endure for
the night, may tarry, as passing
guests, but singing and joy come to
abide in the morning. All shadows
shall flee away. Nothing is everlasting
in the universe of God but light and life
and love. When His world is redeemed
from sin, there will be no night in that
new earth. no night of pain, no shadow
of sorrow, no darkness of sin. While
we wait for that blessed day of saliva
ton, there shall be never a cloud that
does not wear on it's gloomy face the
bow of promise, the token of the ever
lasting covenant, the smile of the
Eternal Father.
Covenant Not Broken
Hope will outlive despair. Joy will be
the destroyer of sorrow. In the same
breath with which He pronounced this
covenant God said. While the earth
remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and
cold and heat, and summer and winter,
and day and night shall not cease
",This has never failed. Nor has the
everlasting covenant They never will
fail Gods promises are everlasting.
Let the storm rage. The sun will
shine long after all storms are but
faint shadows of memory-long after
they are utterly forgotten"

, Many Patients Transferred

This morning 100 patients were trans
ferred to Stockton asylum and others
will be transferred If necessary. 1t is
believed that forty or fifty have es-
capped. The actual number will not be
known until the dead are all taken from
the ruins and the roster of the patients
has been examined.
Mr.. Pardee in discussing the matter
said:
1.-THE loss of buildings is complete
and they will never be restored. From
what 1 have learned of the plans for
the future my impression is that no
such buildings will ever be erected
again. There will be no more brick
structures.
Steel and Concrete
Everything will be of steel and con-
crete and quite probably there will be
no buildings on the grounds more than
two stories high. Besides the cottage
system will be inaugurated.
Operations are now confined to the
temporary relief OF the situation. A
tent city has sprung up and DIR. Leon
ard Stocking, the superintendent, is
doing wonders in bringing order out of
chaos. Temporary houses are being
put up and sanitary conditions are
being reestablished as rapidly as pos
sible
ut is worthy of note that many of
the patients volunteered and worked
like Trojans for the relief of their in
jured comrades.
"The grounds are patrolled night and
day, not only by attendants but also by
volunteers from San Jose, who have
been sworn in as deputies by the sheriff
of the county"
