MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS.
Nominate Ticket and Heartily EndOrse
 Roosevelt Administrati0n.

Detroit. Mich, July 31.--Exceptins a slight brush in the Resolutions Com mittee over Congressman William AL den Smiths resolution pledging the party to the direct nomination of Unite1 States Senators. todays Republican state Convention was featureless and partook more of the nature of a ral- fcation meeting.
 The brief contest In the Resolutions Committee resulted in the adoption or a compromise resolution which recom- rnends to the Michigan delegates the Iowa convention in September that they direct their efforts to the end that the people of the United States so amend the Constitution of the United States as to permit the election or United states Senators by direct vote.
 The platform thoroughly endorses FresidAnt Roosevelts administration. expresses appreciation Of the work Of the Michigan Congressional delegation, afirms continued belief In the Republi- can tariff policy, congratulates the state upon it's prosperity and endorses C5oyernor Fred NJ. Warner and other state officials and the last Legisla- ture.
 The State ticket is as follows;
 Governor. Fred M Warner. Farming ion: Lieutenant Governor. Patrick H. Kelly of Wayne; Secretary of State, George A. Prescott, or raves NAtS state Treasurer, Frank E. Glazier of Chelsea; Auditor. Dr. James D. Brad lev of Eaton Rapids; Land Conmis- sioner, williem H. Rose of Bath: At torney General. John E. Bird of Adrian; Superintendent of Public Instruction. Luther L. Wright of Ironwood; Member Of State Board of Education. Dexter NJ Ferry. Jr.. Detroit. All are renonlna- tions except Messrs. Kelly. Wright and Ferry.
 The platform. in endorsing Presi- dent Roosevelt. says:
 we unreservedly and cordially en- dorse the patriotic. courageous admin istraticn of President Roosevelt. We admire him as the embodiment or the high ideals of the Republican Party: for his insistence upon adequate and ef- ficient railroad legislation and for his demands that the welfare and inter- est of the people shall be first eonstd-

MORE MURDERS IN MONTGOMERY
 ITzANARE COMMITTED LN LONDON.

There are ten prisoners in the Mont gomery County jail awaiting trial for murder In London with its millions of people not one prisoner is in jail awaiting trial for murder
 Last year 501 persons in Alabama were arraigned at the bar of justice to be tried for taking human life. Not half this number of persons were tried in the United Kingdom of King Ed ward
 These facts are pointed out by Judge William H, Thomas of the Montgomery City Court. whose interest in reducing honiicides and whose discussions of the subject have attracted the attention of the whole country. Judge Thomas has given the subject much study. Some time ago he received a congratulatory letter from Hon Andrew D. White of Ithaca, N r.. formerly Ambassador to Germany, on his efforts to arouse in- terest in the subjugatlon of crime.
 The New York World of last Sunday gives two of it's pages to an article by pr. White and others entitled Amer lea Leads the Civilized World in Un- punished Murders z. In this article Dr. white introduces a tabufated statement

FARE IS REDUCED
PENNsYLvANIA RAILROAD TAKES
 AN IMPORTANT STEP.
rassengers May Now Ride on Thia nGreat System For Two and a
 Half Cents a Mile.

Philadelphia, July s1-Important changes in passenger rates were an5. nounced 9today by Fourth Vice Presi- dea4 Joha B. Thayer, Of the Pennsyi- vahsa Ra34read. following meeting of the board of directors of that cor poration
 The company has decided to reduce the r,aximum one way fare from t-2 and cents to 2 '1-2 cents mile, This action will involve a readjustment of all through fares from the South and owing to the vast amount of work en- tailed by reason of the change the new rate of fare will not become operative for some time, probably November,
 It Is assumed that the competing lines which reach New York byS way of Cincinnati and Louisville will meet the Pennsylvania's reduction by are adjustment of fares so that all south- ern passenger trafic. whether bv way of Washington. Cincinnati ar Louis vile will be on an equal basis.
 The company will also on Septen- Der l. place on sale one thousand mile tickets valid only on its lines east Of Pittsburg and Erie at the flat price of S20 These mileage tickets will he transferable. No change is to he made in the price of the interchangeable E pany which are not transferable and upon which deposit of s10 above the regular price of S20
 President Thayer speaking today of Che change said: '"rhis reduction of fares has been the subject of serious consideration for a year past. The company has expended large sums to build relief lines upon which freight trains should be moved, that this class of traflc might be diverted from the present main lines and thus secure less liability of delay to the compa- ny's largely increased passenger ser vice.
 "The company has believed that the time would come when a much lar ger traffc could be handled profitably with a reduction of present rates of fare.
 "In view of the pending litigation at Harrisburg concerning the inter changeable mileage ticket, 1t was deemed advisable that the announce ment of the companys purpose in this regard should be deferred until the de- cision of that case which 1t had been confidently expected would have been reached before this, As 1t is now evil dent that this case can not be decided until late in the autumn. the company has determined to postpone this an- nouncement no longer.
 "The present interchangeable mill cage ticket provided the other rail roads interested are willing, will be continued on sale"

 Buffalo, July 31--At tho session today of the American Federation of Catho- 1ic, Socfettes. tho Committee on Reso- 1utions reported. A resolution was unanimously adopted denouncing Social ism.
 Another resolution adopted, condemn ed all frivolous and unnecessary amuse- rients on Sunday and condemned en- ployers,s who through greed and avar- ice, compelled their employees to work or that day.

THE NEW RATE LAW
CONFERENCE AS TO CONSTRUCTION
 TO HE PLACED ON IT.
Knapp, Clements and CockreIi of the Commerce. Commission Meet Six ty-four Ofiicials of the Country's Railroads.

Washington. July 3I-An important informal conference between the Inter- state Commerce Commission and rep resentatives of the Western Trunk Line Association and various Southern and Southeastern railroads took place here today. It related to the construction to be placed on the recently enacted railroad rate law. While no conclu- sions were reached, the men Involved regard the conference as profitable. Chairman Knapp and Commissioners Clements and Cockreil were in attend. anee. while the railroads were repre- scented by sixty-four officials. Extend ed statements were made by several railroad men, the principal speakers be- ing ]. c. Stubbs of the Southern Pa cific, w. B. Riddle of the Chicago and Rock Island. J. M. Cuip of the South ern Railway and Darius Miller of the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy.
 Tn brief, the railroad officials made three general requests of the Commis- sion3
 First--That a reasonable extension of time be given them to prepare and publish and file with the Commission their new tariff schedules. In this connection they asked also that the book containing the rates might be left with each station agent instead of be- ing posted at the station.
 Second--That the requirements Of a notice of thirty days. in a change of rates be eliminated. particularly as to import and export trafEleA It was point ed out that often theseWrates have to be changed within n few hours to meet the eklgencies of ocean transportation and that it practically would be ini- possible to anticipate these changes even by one day. not to mention thirty days.
 Third-That the railroads be relieved from the publication of terminal rates at points of destination and allowed to publish them only at the point where the charges originate. This would make no difference In the rates, them selves, but would be a matter of ccn- venience to the roads 9
 The passenger traffic ofIfcials request ed the Commission not to insist upon the filing of new rates at this time as their rates under the new law would be precisely the same for a time at least, as they are now. and the present rates are on flle with the Commission.
 The conference will be continued to- morrow.

compiled by Judge Thomas showing the enormous increase of homicides and his reasons therefor.
 ..srhe United States says pr. White. lis among all civilized nations the country in which the crime of murder is most frequently committed and the least frequently punished" He lays the blame on lax administration of the laws and on maudlin sentimentality
 Statistics which are published with the article of Dr. White show that hom- icides in the United States have been steadily increasing from year to year beginning with 1850,
 At the present time there are etgh- teen prisoners awaiting trial for mur- der in New York city. forty-nine in St. Petersburg, forty-eight in Rome. twen- ty-six In Paris with all of its vices and law breaking. eight in Berlin, none in London. none in Dublin and none in Vienna.
 Tn this respect Montgomery has made an Sunenviable record. The present term of the City Court will hear the evidence In the cases of ten prisoners accused of committing murder. This is about the usual number heard at each term of the court.

soUABBLE IN IoWAISToRY OF BELCHEE
REPUBLICANS MAY PUT OUT TWO
 TICKETS.
Interest Is Centered In Meefing of Cenral Commmiftee, Where Cum snins People Think They Have
 zhe Advantage.

Des Moines. Iowa, July 3i--The morn- ing trains brought many deelgates to ths Republican State Convention.
 Fully two thirds of them are now here and others arrived by night. The interest is still centered on the state Central Committee. which is hearing the contests filed by the friends of George D. Perkins. a candidate for Governor. against A. B. cummins. who seeks a renomination. Three of twelve cases submitted. the Chairman of the Cum mins delegation appeared before the committee yesterday. denying its ju- risdictinn. but furnishing information called for 'out of courtesy. It is said another Chairman will attend and give "informatinn" and then the Cummins following ~ill stand pat and await the calling to order of the convention.
 The committee will not reach a con- clusion before tomorrow morning. The majority are aaid to be opposed to talk ing any actlon which might possibly result in twS State tickets and the i'm Iression seems to be getting stronger that the committee will find a way ouE of the diff1eulty confronting them and come to q decision that will lead to cnly ono ticket 6
 While the CumminR people are still confident that they control the stt- uation. the Perkins followers have not Abandoned their fposition that they have or wilf have "a majority of the legally elected deIegatez"
 The inside talk points toward a joint ticket. Though no proposition has yet been formulated 1t is thought com- promise will be attempted If the two factions can be got together" It looks as if strong efforts will be made to that end
 The Republicans who haveAit in mind ,.,4lI ali hIff aVfdRnfiW A plan to get together leading represent atives of the two factions is under con sideratton by few. The only dim culty ffi the way. 1t is reported. is "reasoila oleness One ardent inside Republican sai1:
 "Perkins Is always reasonable; 1t re- mains to be seen whether Cummins is'
 The State Central Committee Is still at work on the contests and making such slow progress that they are not likely to finish the work before morn ing.
 If the compromise talk Is followed by action 1t may not be necessary for the committee to decide any of the contests erpparatory to making up the tempo rary roll Compromise may be the way out the committee is said to be hop ing, so that the Republicans may have a solii front in the State and Congress sional lights in November.
 Late this afternoon the, talk of com promise became quite general but noth- ing definite had come to the surface report was that the two steering committees were to be brought togeth- CT to agree on ticket. Mir. Hart. chair . man of the Perkins committee, how ever. stated that no offer had been made nor had he made any. Cum mins representative said lie knew noth- ing about any proposed compromise that Cummins had majority or the delegates and did not need to compro- mise.
