These States will have less than one
fourth of the voting strength of the
Convention. Three Of them-Kansas,
Minnesota and Michigan-are virtually
conceded to Secretary Taft with their
20 delegates. Nebraska has instructed

Senator La Follettes friends are now

There are six Northern States, each

There are six Northern States also that

The big fight, therefore. after Ohio
and New York have been captured
must be in the 16 States of the South,
which send hardly that number of Re-
publican Representatives to Congress
and which send but three men to the
Senate-Warner, of Missouri, and Scott
and EIkins, of West Virginia. Those
16 States are very largely under the
domination of Federal ofiiceholders, but
with the Northern votes divided among
several candidates the Southern Re-

ZION IS NOT SCARED
VoIiva's Decision to Depart From
the City Does Not Worry
The Zionites Any
MAY BRING REIGN OF PEACE

While refusing to name either time
or destination for his threatened exo-
dus from Zion City, Wilbur Glenn
Voliva on Wednesday forcefully re.
peated his determination to lead his
followers from the north shore COM
munity and found another colony.
The only contingency upon which
this decision will be altered, he said,
is that of the prevention of the trans
fer of the lace factory to Marshall
Field & Co., whose bid was accepted
by Judge Lands on Monday, and of
this event the discarded leader has
but little to say.
IF the factory passes out of Zion
CONTROL he said, cit means the doom
of the only distinctly institutional city
in the world. If it ceases to be truly
Zion city, Zion must leave it.
con the return of J. Hamilton Lewis
from Europe I shall consult with him
as to the action open to us. If there
is nothing to be done feel perfectly
free to lay plans for Zion colony
the basis of which will. be purely agri-
cultural.
"My plans already are taking def
mite shape, and shall hold several
important conferences during the next
few days, aiming toward their compile
ton. The money will be gift money,
and ] am sure there will be several
thousand persons go with me. All of

and their departure means more than
anything else the destruction of Zion
City's world famous individuality. It
will be shell open to the influences
of the world. This discarding Of the
first great experiment means much to
the church, but it will not prevent its
final success"
He said some one had guessed"
the location of his colony at Las We
gas, N. NJ, but would not deny that
this was the place he had chosen.
Former residents of Zion City al
ready have purchased some 5000
acres there, and James f. Peters, a
Volivian, is secretary of land COM
pany exploiting the district. Land
there is worth $40 an acre and Voliva's
so, 600 acres would cost about $500, 900,
an enormous amount tor him to raise.
His opponents in the church took
his declarations with smile. Many
of them declared Voliva could not per-
suade 200 people TO follow him any
where and that the departure of that
many of his most ardent S11 nnnrferS
would do much for the restoration of
harmony in Zion City. The attend
ance at his last tent services last Sun
day was 1900 while the total popula-
ton is 1890.
Col. ]. B. Stuart, chief postal in
spector, stated that no complaint has
been made concerning the printed
matter Voliva has sent through the
mails.

Making Them Tell.

Retcence is one of the most striking
characteristics of railroad employees.
They are trained to it. They are never
expected to know anything about a
wreck. The new commission which
Governor Hughes has given to New
York state proposes to have things
changed. 1t wants to know about ey-
cry wreck that occurs. and it wants
the information promptly. In New
York city corporations will be compel
led to report every accident resulting
in death or serious injury to any per-
son, any collision resulting in serious
damage to cars, any derailment Of
passenger train, whether in the sub
way or on the elevated or suburban
lines. The railroad companies con-
cerned also are directed to report any
serious interference with or stoppage
of traffic.
The reports must be made by tele-
phone Immediately after any such ac-
cident between the hours Of in the
morning and II at night. Any acct
dent occurring after II o'clock must
be reported at 8 o'clock the next morn
ing. All telephone reports must be
followed within three days by written
statements to the commission. This
written statement must contain the fol
lowing information:
(a) The name Of the corporation owning
the road.
(b) The name of the corporation leasing
or operating the 1oad
20 Tie date and hour of the accident
I'D The precise location of the accident
(e) The number and description Of the
car involved in the accident.
(D The names and places Of residence Of
employees in any way connected with the
occurrence
(g) The names and addresses of passen-
gers or other persons killed or injured.
(h) The names and residences of en-
ployees killed or injured and the extent
of the injury.
ID The circumstances attending and the
supposed cause of the accident with the
names and residences of all witnesses who
saw the accident or can give any facts in
reference to the same.
This is fast becoming an age of pub
licity. 1t is a good thing. Every news
paper man knows how difficult it is to
get information from a railroad cor
poration if it is anything that the COM
pany believes will be to it's detriment.
The public is entitled to the facts, and
any law Or any agency of the law that
aids in bringing out the facts looks
good to the average man.

PEOPLE have become accustomed to
dangerously defective sidewalks in
the outlying sections of the city, but
there are some walks right in the
business section, which are used by
thousands OF people daily, that are as
badly in need of repair as any in the
city, and as the owners of the abut-
ting property do not seem disposed to
make repairs until they are forced to,
the city officials whose business ii is to
look after such things, should take
the matter in hand and force the
building of new walks. And while
they are at it, they might as well
make an attempt to enforce the avn
ing ordinance at the same time and
make the business section comfort
able as we'll as safe for the trading
public.

Eric Herth, we'll known Kenosha
man, has closed a deal for the lease
of the Columbia Theatre on Milwau-
kee avenue and he will be in charge
of the theatre for the season to open

the extreme southeast corner OF the
building. The entire interior of the
theatre will be redecorated and it will
present very charming appearance
when completed. New chairs will be
installed in the auditorium.
Manager Herth has already booked
a large number of attractions for the
coming season and it is his plan to
make the north side theatre the home
of vaudeville of the highest class. He
has arranged with Chicago theatrical
men for the appearance of many high
class attractions in the city during
the next few months. The remode1ed
theatre will be opened the latter part
of this month.

the property to look after it until
such a time as it is turned over to the
contractors for the erection of the
building.
In connection with the transfer of
the property it is given out that the
dedication of the little street known
as Halberstadt Court, which was ac-
copied by the Council on Monday
evening, was done at the demand of
the government. In the original cou-
tract for the purchase of the lot the
government demanded that the lot
should have street on at least three
sides Of it, and for this season the
dedication of the street was made by
Mr.. Simmons and Henry Ha1berstadt.
It was also one Of the demands of the
government that the street be i'm

would be started, but he stated that
the deal for the site in Kenosha had
been closed up in comparatively
short time. In some of the cities
year and even two years has been
taken to close up the deal for the site
for buildings.
In Appleton the attorney has been
waiting for more than a year and a
half to get the deal for the site closed
just about as far away now as when
the appropriation was made by the
government more than three years
ago.

building, but it is supposed that they
will be completed by the first Of Sep.

for soon after that time. In a recent
letter the supervising architect stated
that it was his plan to have the Keno
sha building started this year and
if possible the foundation would be
completed before the close of the
building season. The people of the
city will not have a chance to make
any suggestions in regard to the
plans for the building, but the gov
eminent will accept plan best suited
to the demands of the local office at
the present and for future growth of
the office. The Kenosha building

An Old GRAY Majesty.

If he stays on the throne until De
cember, 1908, Francis Joseph, emperor
and king, will have worn a crown six
ty years Born Aug. Is, 1880, he was
not out of his teens when invested
with imperial dignity, Dec. 2, 184S.
From the very beginning Francis Jo-
seph was put to the test. He came to
The throne in an era Of political fry
mol. That year the monarchies Of
Europe were shaken by a general rev.
olution, melted by the expulsion from
the throne of the king of France
Before he was forty the emperor of
Austria had passed through the ordeal
of suppressing a mammoth insurrec-
ton, practically dividing his empire
and fighting foreign foes. In 1867 lie
was crowned king of Hungary, and
that half Of his realm was soon placed
in a state of comparative independence
under the most liberal constitution
then known in Europe. A princeling
born and taught to rule under divine
right cannot be expected to yield read
lily to popular demands, but considering
his environment and the problems
which he inherited this long lived head
of the house of Hapsburg has been an
enlightened and progressive monarch.
A very large part of the people Of the
Austrian empire have not yet emerged
from the barbarism of the middle ages.
What they demand in the name of lib
erty is often no more than wild license
to dominate and degrade their fellows
of another race or faith. In maintain
ing order under those conditions Fran
els Joseph has fulfilled a destiny which
will place him among the most revered
Of modern rulers.

Convictions and Gets Second Fine

one of her neighbors, and after she
had been fined dollar and costs she
left the court room, and before she
had got put of the building she re-

alleged in the complaint against her.
Justice Nc Carron issued new
warrant for her on the samei charge,
and on the second appearance she
was fined ten dollars and costs. Both
of the fines were paid.
