REVISION PLATFORM
Republican Convention Will Be Ex-
pIcit on Tariff Revision and Progress

Cincinnati June "a Washington
special to the Times Star, says: "The
Chicago platform will take advanced
ground on the tariff, on the control Of
trusts, on amending the Sherman law
on currency and on question limiting
the power of injunctions. 1t will stand
squarely in other regards, on the poll
cies which have been success in the
Roosevelt administration.

Such were among the decisions
reached at the White House conference
last night, attended by Roosevelt. Taft.
Garfield, Wade Ellis, and Senators
Long, of Kansas, Hopkins, of Illinois,
and Frank B. Kellogg, of Minnesota,
Congressman Longworth, and William
Loeb. There were additional confer
ences today, Attorney General Ellis be-
ing again closeted with Taft. Other con-
ferences are to follow. At last nights
White House meeting, the entire sub
ject was discussed. The topics most
exhaustively considered, were the tar
iff, trusts, control of railroads, cur
rency, conversation of national re-
sources, Improvement of the waterways
of Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines.
owl +t,o Dopop,o canal
The order in which these topics are
to be presented to the convention, was
tentatively agreed upon, subject. of
course, to the approval of the resolu-
tions committee. Ellis presented a
plank providing for an amendment to
the Sherman law, under provisions of
which harmless agreements among
mercantile associations, which seek not
to create monopolies or fix control Of
price, but merely to protect legitimate
channels of trade, will be allowed.
Such provision would also exempt
harmless acts of labor organizations"

Science has said yes and no.
AZ Alton, ILL.,, where woman was
murdered, the authorities are prepared
to take issue with the scientists who
have said mo" They have
remarkable photograph from the eye
of the slain victim, which reveals
clearly the visaage of bearded man
with a bald head.
Coroner Streeper of Alton, applied
the Photographic eye test in the case
of woman whose body was found in
the Mississippi river last Thursday.
When the body was recovered it was
apparent that death had ensued only
few hours before. There was no
clue to the womans identity, and every
Indication pointed to murder.
Coroner Streeper removed the Crys-s
talline lens of the woman's right eye
and mounted it on a dark background.
When he hal completed the task the
photographer was mnoned into q
specially prepared room and the eye
lens was exposed to the camera. The
negative of the picture taken was de-
veloped as speedily as possible, and
both photographer and coroner were.
startled at the result.
On the plate they could plainly trace
the miniature face and head Of man.
A print was made soon afterward. and
a human face. bearded, stood out In
the picture of the eye, Coroner Strepper
supplied detectives with copies Of tho
photograph and sent them to look for
a man whose face corresponds with
the picture taken from the retina Of
the dead woman's eye.

WOODS ISSUES WARNING.
Calls Attention to Primary Law Bar
ring Hiring Of Workers.

ESluGINlll0, lOWd, Mdy %. U lll0
republican voters of Iowa:
The first statewide primary in
Iowa will be held June 2. The success
of this law which has been enacted for
the benefit of the people at large, de-
pends entirely on tha vigilance of the
individual voter in saeing that the pro-
visions of the law are strictly COM
piled with.
The law provides "Any person who
shall agree to perform any services in
the interest of any candidate in con-
sideration Of any money or other vai-
liable thing, or who shall! accept any
money or other valuable thing for such
services performed in the interest OF
any candidate, or any person paying
or offering to pay, or giving or Offer
ing to give money or other valuable
things for such services, shall be pun
ished by fine of not more than three
hundred dollars, or by imprisonment in
the county Jail not exceeding ninety
days."
AS members of the republican party
in Iowa, we are all interested in fair
and honest expression by the voter of
his choice of candidates to represent
our party at the polls in November.
Every citizen should be active in Sc
curing an honest ballot, free from all
mercenary influences. That candidate
for office who permits an infringement
of the primary law in the interest OF
his campaign is unworthy Of public
trust and confidence.
The only way in which we may Sc
cure good laws is by the enforcement
of law. 1t is the duty of citizens learn
ing of violations of the law to place
their information at the disposal of the
proper authorities, and to urge them
to action whether the offender be great
or small.

DoLLIvER FOR SECOND PLACE.
Iowa Senator Being Urged as Means
of Defeating Fairbanks.

Especial Washington Correspondence
Washington, D. c., June 2-Eastern
papers give prominence to report that
Senator Dolliver of Iowa, is going to
be pushed as the western candidate
for the vice presidential nomination. 1t
is said that western people are anxious
to get one man from west of the Mis-
sissippi on the ticket. The east is con-
sidered too strong for Taft to be
named with New York man for vice
president. Representative Segerman
has been regarded recently as leading
probability for vice president, aside
from Fairbanks, who has the senate in
his support. 1t is intinlated that Dol
liver is sprung in order to divide the
senatorial support and make it possi-
Bile to defeat Fairbanks.
