THE CLEVELAND CONTEST.

The contest for Mayor OF the city Of
Cleveland is attracting national atten-
ton. This is due to the fact that both
candidates are in way presidential
possibilities. Mayor johnson is now
serving his third term and has often
been mentioned in connection with the
Democratic nomination. Congressman
Burton was the chairman of the Rivers
and Harbors Committee Of the last
Congress and will be chairman OF that
same committee in the next Congress
unless he lays down the Office to take
up that of Mayor Of Cleveland. Bur-
ton is one Of the leading congressman
and one OF the best known Republican
leaders in the United States. 1t is re-
ported that he was urged to take up
the fight against Mayor johnson by
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft. The Republicans appear to be
very anxious to dispose of Tom john
son.
johnson has been elected three times

safely Republican. each time by in

Of the man is strongly suggested in the

OKLAHOMA AND TAFT.

On the 18th Of this month an cleo
ton will be held by the people of Ok
lahoma at which they will determine
whether or not to adopt the new con-
stitution. This Oklahoma constitu-
ton has been very much abused. The
only reason for the abuse apparently
Is the fact that it was drawn up by
honest farmers who sought to give the
people of the new state an equal OPP
portunity with the corporations. 1t is,
in fact, a very much up-to-date con-
stituton and contains some very ad-
mirable provisions. The people Of
Oklahoma have been delayed in their
attempt to get statehood. This delay
is. no doubt largely due to the fact
that Oklahoma is supposed to be Dem
ocratic and WILL if given an opportun-
ity. elect two Democratic United States
senators and add its electoral vote to
the Democratic column. The admins
tration seems disposed to delay. If pos
sible, the formal admission OF Okla
homa until after the next election. It
is expected that the people of Okla
homa will vote overwhe lmingly in
favor of the new constitution. 1t will
then remain for President Roosevelt to
formally proclaim the constitution and
thus confer statehood. Secretary Taft
advises delay and promises the people
Of Oklahoma that il they vote down
the constitution that Congress will give
them another enabling act and give
them a chance to frame a new con-
stitution. but from everything that can
be learned the people Of Oklahoma are
satisfied with the constitution.
The Oklahoman Of Oklahoma City

words:

away Henry, who is regarded by his
family and friends as demented, is in
jail. He is dazed and confused and
hardly realizes the terrible thing he
has done.
Major Huntington is one Of the best
known Americans in Paris, and he and
his family have long been taking a
prominent part in the social and official
gaiety of the French capital.
He is a retired army officer and
prior to taking UP his residence abroad
he lived in Chicago, where he was an
associate OF those prominent in army
and business circles. In Paris he be-
came well known for his after dinner
speeches at the American club, Of
which he was one of the organizers.
The following correct account OF
the occurrence last night was obtain

Henry, the youngest son of Major
Huntington, has been considered unbal-
anced for years. He had mania that
he had solved the science Of curing
disease and constantly concocted the

statement of United States Senator

publications are taken as to be the
text for the letter.
In the letter Senator Foraker says
that he wants the central committee
to have the delegates to the next state
convention chosen at primaries SO that
they can express their wishes.
He says that he believes it is bad
thing to inject the presidential ques-
ton into the politics of Ohio at the
present time, when the state is con
cerned with its municipal elestions. He
says that he does not think the state
central committee ought to indorse
him either for the senate or the presi
dency, or indorse Secretary Taft for
the presidency. ANY action at the
present time, he says, is premature.

report could not be confirmed, the

Henry at once became more excited.
The family tried to persuade him to
go into the drawing room and talk
the matter over there. He refused and
insisted that the only way to cure his

dog mixed with sea water, a remedy
which he had invented,

revolver from the hands of the mad

Versailles, July 29.-The death Of
the aged American soldier, and an
attempt at self destruction on the part
of his son Henry, who shot his sisters
and brothers on Sunday, in the last
hours of his dying father, imparte,
additional sadness today to the shock
ing tragedy in the home of Major Hen
ry A. Huntington. which has caused
sensation in the American colony
and diplomatic circles of France.
Major Huntington died this evening
shortly after the news was given out
of his son Henrys unsuccessful at
tempt at suicide, but the father was
spared the anguish of knowledge Of
both this incident and the terrible
crime which shattered his household,
as he was unconscious to the end.
The Frustrated wife, his daughter,
Edith, and his son, Douglas, whose
slight wounds permitted them to pay
the last honors to the dying man,
were present when the end came.
According to the police, Henry at
tempted suicide in his cell with silk
handkerchief. which he tied around
his neck and fastened to the bars,
seeking to strangle himself slowly by
means of a tourniquet. The jailer,
who had been instructed to watch
the prisoner closely, detected the act
in time to prevent serious results, and
it was announced that Henry had not
succeeded in injuring himself.
Tt is stated by certain friends of
Major Huntington, that after his quar-
rel with Henry he had drawn up
will, leaving all his property to his
wife and the four other children, but
that in view Of his reconciliation with
Henry, he had drawn up a will leav-
ing all his property to his wife and
the four other children, but that In
view of his reconciliation with Hen
ry on Sunday, he tore up this will
and make new one in which Henry
was given on equal share with the
others.
1t was the protests of the family
against this which led Henry, accord
ing to the statement, to use his revol-
yer.
