HONOR KEATS AND SHELLEY.
Project Of Americans and Enslishmen
for Memorial, Gains Support.

Rome, June 19-After ye; rs of negO-
tiations arrangements have been con-
cluded by which an option has been
secured on the house in Piazza di
Spagna, in Rome, where the poet, John
Keats, lived and died. Th house is
at the foot of the picturesque Spanish
steps, which lead to the V liza Medicf,
and like it, are owned by France. 1t
is now in fair way of bell preserv-
ed forever as memorial not only
of Keats, but of his friend ind elegist.
Shelley, who was buried near him in
the old Protestant cemetery of Rome.
The plan of the promoters of the
project which has been we'll kept from
publicity in America, aims ut a COM
plete library of the various editions
of the poems and letters of the two
great Englishmen, together with all the
obtainable criticisms of their work,
with original portraits, photographs of
places and people associated with
them.
1t is further planned that the trus-
tees of the house shall exercise per-
petual guardianship over the graves Of
the poets, as the older part of the
cemetery in which Keats is buried has
been threatened with inroads and the
actual removal of his grave vas once
prevented only by the Intervention of
Queen Victoria.
A movement to buy and preserve the
House of Keats and to establish in it a
memorial library of his wo'ks and
those of Percy Shelley was Sc. on foot
in 1908 by eight American writers, then
in Rome: informal committees were
organized in that city, in Eng and and
in the United States, and a fund of
private subscriptions amounting 20
81 900, representing 500 contributors.
has been raised and deposited ut Plow-
denis Bank in Rome.
The difficulties in the way of OBJ
tanning an option on the prope -ty have
seemed at times insuperable. But an
option on the house for eight months
has just been signed, the committees
making an advance payment Of 6.0Ot
francs on the total purchase price of
100000 francs (about $21,000)--a con-
siderable concession ON the part of the
owner. The Italian transfer tax of
about 5000 francs will be further addt-
ton to the cost unless it shall be re-
mitted by legislative act in view of the
international and public aspects of the
enterprise.
The list of subscribers includes tho
most distinguished names in the liter
,ary and political worlds of England
and America. While the rentals of the
floors of the house which Keats and
Severn did not occupy are expected to
be sufficient for the maintenance ce of
the memorial. the committees desire to
raise by further subscriptions during
the eight months life of the option, not
only the remainder of the purchase
money but enough to provide an ample
endowment fund. Owners of eiitions
and memorials of the poets are to be
divided to contribute or bequeati them
to the library.
Secretary r. U. Johnson of tn. Am
erican commission has letters express
ing warm endorsement of the project
by President Roosevelt. King Edward
and King Victor Emmanuel.

witnesses and asked for an indictment.
The district attorney says he will do
everything in his power to facilitate

times. He said he had not Ill treated
the boy and in this he was corroborated

lants. and his physician was
summoned.
Beuinnino of the End.


This attack was really the beginning
of the end, tho the governor soon
rallied and Friday evening seemed as
well as he had been before The doc
tor was so encouraged with the cond.-
tion of the governor Sunday that he
hestitated about coming out from ClE-
cinnati yesterday. Sunday night at 5
o'clock the governor became restless
and suffered considerable acute pain,
bat later in the night he sank into a
quiet sleep. The nurse thought he was
sleeping restfuly and naturally. ana
altho Mrs. Pattison was sleeping. as
was her custom, in the same room
where the governor lay, she was nor
disturbed.
When morning dawned there had
been no change. and when the family
arose it was with the belief that he
was sleeping peacefully.
AT 10 O'Clock the physician made his
usual morning visit and found his pa
tient in a comatose state. All was done
that medical skill could do. but the
governor never rallied and death came
peacefully yesterday afternoon.
At the governors bedside when he
died were Mrs. Pattison and his two
daughters, Misses Alethia and Ernes-
tine and the nurses.

cuMMlNs CARRIES ADEL.
Result There Indicates He Will Carry
Dallas County.

DdudS SouHtys 3ftsq
Adel, Ia, June 19.-Goyernor Cum-
minis carried Adel yesterday afternoon
by vote of AZ to 139, about % Cum-
minis men being challenged by the Per-
kins men and their votes not being
cast.
This result lis thought to make Dallas
county certain for Cummins, tho all
the precincts have not been heard from
and have not held caucuses. The county
still is fighting ground.
The caucus yesterday was turned
into a primary. The Cummins men all
the time had desired to hold primary,
but they knew that if primary We're
called-it would be am innovation in
politics in this county-the standpat-
ters would make a terrible clamor
about it. The standpatters said noth-
ing till the caucus had been called and
then they howled because it was not
a primary and demanded a primary
election. The Cummins people kept still
at first, but at the proper time called
a primary election The Perkins OUT
fit was surprised and fairly dumfound-
ed. But since they wanted primary
they had it.
The polls were open till after every
body had voted The Cu1nmins people
were in a generous mood. No effort
was made to vote any man that the
Perkins people challenged. They sim
ply stepped aside and the Cummins
men counted them a loss. About Is
were thrown out in this way, SO that
really the Cummins majority in Adel
was about 80 instead of 8.
There will be III delegates in the
county convention and the progressive
leaders feel certain that the five re-
manning precincts will give Cummins
a good majority if the republican vot-
ers are allowed an untrammeled ex-
preston of their sentiment.
