gen. WRIGHT
A DEMOCRAT | i 10 ! RI
FOR TAFT'S JOB
GOV. GEN. OF PHILIPPINES rs
LIKELY TO BE CHOSEN SEC
RETARY OF WAR.
HE is A SOUTHERN MAN AND
HAS PROVED HIS FITNESS
FOR PLACE.
HIS APPOINTMENT WOULD BE
FINE POLITICAL STROKE
BY PRESIDENT.

w aSn1ngt0n, June 3.-In spite OF
\ denials, it can be said positively
that Gen. Luke e. Wright of Ten
nesee, a gold Democrat. will be sue
cessor IF William H. Taft, as sec
rotary Of war. Gen. Wright will as
sumo his new duties on July 1, pro-
vided there be no slip-up in the nom
ination of Mr.. Taft as Republican
candidate for the presidency.
The only possibility the managers
Of the secretary's campaign see of
the failure of their plans arises from
the revival of the movement for the
denomination Of the president. Dur
ing the past few days the attention
Of the president has been called to
interviews by delegates in West Vir-
GINA, who were instructed for Taft,
and by delegate in Pennsylvania,
instructed for Senator Knox, an
nouncing the intention of these men
to vote for Mr.. Roosevelt.
Revolt Discussed at Conference
There is reason to believe, so far
as West Virginians are concerned,
they will not carry out their threat,
as, the president has taken steps to
induce them to abandon their advo-
cacy of his name before the Chicago
convention. The Knox managers
have taken like action with respect
to the Pennsylvania delegates. This
feature Of the situation was discuss
! ed among other things at confer
ence at he White house yesterday
/ between the president and Mr.. Vorys
and Mr.. Hitchcock, the two manag-
ers Of the Taft movement. The
! president will insist on his purpose
, not to run again, and whenever
signs Of revolt from Taft to him oc-
cur, there he has swung and contin-
ne to swing the 'sbig stick. ~
Both Mr.. vorys and Mr.. Hitch
cock take roseate view Of Secretary
Taft's prospects, saying there viii
be 700 votes for the secretary on
| the first ballot. II their claims be
substantiated there will be no ques
l4tion as to the appointment Of Gen,
Wright.
Now that the fact that his selection
has leaked out, it may be said his
appointment was determined on
some weeks ago, and was recon-
i mended by both Secretary Root and
Secretary Taft. The qualification of
a number of able men were consider
ed. but it was decided Gen. Wright
was the most available for secretary
of war.
While serving as a member OF
the United States Philippine Com
mission and in 1904 as its president,
| and from 1904 until 1906 as civil
governor and governor general OF
the islands, Gen. Wright not only
acquired large fund of information
in regard to the conditions and needs
of the Filipinos, but his contact with

SAFE BLOWER
TOOLS FOUND
Regular Arsenal Of Guns,
Dynamite, Etc, Left in
Hole by Robbers

-
Inspectors Hugdal and Ego made an
important find near Oslo, on the
North Dakota side of the river re-
Gently. They located two revolvers
lot of fuse, four or Ave sticks Of
dynamite, a bottle of nitro glycerine
and a small purse of money. The
find is important, as it is one of the
connecting links in the strong case
of circumstantial evidence secured
against Payne, Miller and Simmons,
who are accused Of blowing the safe
OF G. e. Closky Of Marvel. Two
of the accused were arrested at Oslo
and the other near Grand Forks.
The pair who drove to Oslo planted
the revolvers and safe blowing ma
teria1. A clue was furnished by
Deputy Sheriff Johnson, to whom
one Of the prisoners had talked rath-
er freely while in the Grand Forks
county jail.
Inspectors Ugdal and Eye went to
Fargo last night and will appear be-
fore the federal grand jury as wit
nesses in the case. They will have
enough evidence to secure the in
dictment, 1t is believed.
In the arrest for vagrancy at Win
nipeg of Charles Hastings. alias
James H. McCurry, alias Mcdonald,
alias Curry, alias Ralston, safe blow
er and ticket-of-leave man it is be-
lieved probably that a fourth MEM
Der Of the safe blowing crowd that
has been working in Minnesota and
the Dakotas, has been secured. AT
the station the man gave his name
as Ralston and was booked up as
. a vagrant. s sss
Some time later, Detective Stod-
CELL was looking over the prisoners
in the cells and thought he saw
something familiar Id Ralston's APP
pearance. He took him out into the
open and from certain marks Of
Identification, including couple OF
missing fingers from the right hand,
located the man as a criminal who
was badly wanted IN Manitoba some
five years ago. The detective was
carrying in his pocket a booklet con-
tanning the description OF q number
of men who are wanted in Minnesota
and the prisoner was among them.
When confronted with the descrip-
tion Hastings admitted that he was
the man who was arrested and sem
fenced in Morrison county, Mimi.
in 1897, on a charge o., grand lar
ceny, the specific offense being safe
blowing. He was paroled in 1900
and disappeared for q time.
Five years ago there was safe
blowing job pulled on at Rorer, Man.
and from the description received
it was thought that Hastings was
one Of the gang. Detective Stodgell
was put on the job, and at Silver
Heights only missed his man by a
few minutes. Finding that the coun-
try was getting too hot for him,
Hastings came south and 1t is sup
posed that he has been mixed up in
some Of the safe blowing jobs which
terrorized parts Of Minnesota and
North Dakota The Minnesota au-
thorities have been communicated

with and an officer will be sent to
Winnipeg at once to take the man
back. If he cannot be convicted Of
the more recent safe blowing jobs
he will at least have to put in the
balance Of his unexpired sentence
of 1907.

BUILDINGS so HIGH
STREETS TOO NARROW
%b TO HANDLE TRAFFIC

New York, July 7.--Three sidewalks,
one above the other, like layers, streets
arranged in three stories each to ac-
commodate wagons, automobiles, car
riages and street cars; three stories of
elevated railroads: three times the pres
ent number OF, subways; the fresh air
problem made thrice as difficult-these
are some of the questions which were
discussed today IN the supposition that
all business districts of New York are
TO be built up some time like the pro-
posed 909-foot skyscraper of the Eouit-
able Life Assurance society, or even the
Singer and Metropolitan Life struc-
lures.
1t is believed that if many buildings
were erected to such extreme heights
the present streets would be entirely
inadequate for traffic. BENJAMIN G.
Marsh, executive secretary of the COM
mittee on congested population, said In
discussing the increased height of office
buildings: -
I'VE have men compiling statistics
covering traffic conditions. These fig
ures will not be ready for report for
several weeks" w.

FIREWORKS EXPLOSION
KILLS SIX PEOPLE
Girls lump From Upper Story
Windows and Many Are
Injured.

Cleveland, Ohio. July 6.--An explosion
OF fireworks in the s and 10 cent store
OF Kresga & Co. this morning imme-
diately was followed by flames burst
ing from the windows of the build
ing. The twelve girls employed in the
place Jumped from upper windows. AT
least four of them were seriously in
jured. There was a large number of
customers in the store when the ex-
plosion occurred.
Six bodies have, just been removed
from the store.
Henry Miller, an employee Of the
store, soon discovered the fire and ran
hastily to the top floor and then went
down a fire escape in the rear. At each
floor Miller stopped and opened win
dows. calling on the girls to come out.
He pulled man girls through the win
dows to the fire escapes in that way,
and at least seventy-five, he says, got
out.
Bodies Are Found. =
The victims were FIVE women and one
boy. The bodies were discovered on
the first floor and basement after the
flames following the explosion had been
subdued. All the customers escaped
death, but several were more or less
seriously injured by the explosion Of
the fireworks and inhaling the smoke.
About a score of persons suffered from
hurts and burns. .
The fire started when one Of the
clerks was demonstrating a piece of
fireworks. A spark ignited other pieces.
The noise of the explosion startled
those upon all five floors and a panic
ensued. Smoke and flames were drawn
up the stairway by the draft. This
added to the panic.
A rush was made by panic stricken
clerks and shoppers for the stairways
and windows. Many were trampled
upon, others tumbled down stairways.
Several jumped from second and third
story windows. A number who jumped
escaped injury, by being caught in life

MURAT HALSTEAD
PASSES AWAY
Noted Editor Was Prominent
Figure in Current Literature
for Years.

Cincinnati, July 6.-Murat HalsteaG
Dne of the leaders in American Jour
nallsm for over half a century, wide
ly known as a vigorous editorial and
magazine writer, died at his home in
this city yesterday afternoon in his 10Th
year. AT his bedside were his wife,
his son, Robert. and one daughter, Mrs.
Arthur Stem.
Mr.. Halstead had been failing In
health for three months. Mr.. and Mrs.
Halstead celebrated their golden we'd
ding anniversary a little more than a
year ago.
Mr.. Halstead was one of the great
editors of the last half of the nine
teenth century, and one of the strong
est tributes to his i~ncisiveness as q
writer was in 1889, when his nomina-
ton by President Harrison to be Ameri-
can minister to Germany was rejected
by the United States Senate because
of articles he had published charging
corruption to some members of that
body. He was a native of Butler u
ty, Ohio, and after a short service on
a literary weekly he in 1853 became con-
nected with the Cincinnati Commercial,
In which he secured a small interest
q year later, becoming chief owner in
1865. Nearly 20 years later hts paper
was consolidated with the Gazette, and
he was editor in chief Of the combined
newspaper until years afterward when
another consolidation vas effected, new
owners securing control.
For a time he was editor of the
Brooklyn Standard Union, and for the
last 10 years he has figured largely as
a magazine and special newspaper
writer, besides issuing a number of
books on current matters Of historical
interest.
During the wal Mr.. HaIstead person
ally reported many battles, being rated
as q war correspondent Of the first
class, and later in the Franco-Prussian
war and In the Spanish-American war
added to his reputation In that line.
For 80 years he attended and reported
all republican nominating conventions
and In 1860 he was the only newspaper
who reported all the varied politi-
conventions of that wear

KIDNAPPED BOY VII
REGAlNS LIBERTY

Chicago, July 3.-Bayard Ashton, Isl
years old, who disappeared last Thurs
day from the residence of his aunt
Mrs. Smith, vas kidnapped by gypsies
according to his own story.
The story told by the little boy, who
managed to escape from his captors
and put in an appearance yesterday at
the residence Of his sister, Mrs. James
Martin, Is straightforward and the pos
lice will make an investigation and
IL possible arrest the kidnapers.
The boy said he was on his way
home from school last Thursday when
he was hailed by two men driving byl
In q wagon. They asked him IL he
wanted to ride. He climbed into the
wagon, n then, he asserts, one OF
the men threw a blanket over him, and
after binding him hand and foot threw
him under the seat and drove a long
way with him. but in what direction
he could not tell.
After we had been travelling what
seemed to me two or three hours" the
boy continued, they took me to al
lonely spot where there were five tents
in which lived IA men and about as
many women and two little girls.
They made me carry wood and wa
ter and there was someone watchingl
me all the time so I'could not srunl
away.
Most of the men were asleep yester-i
day and l managed to get away FRONT
them"

Barred TO WORLD

Lisbon, July 4.-Dr. Jose Maria de
Alpoim, chief of the progressive -dissi-
dents, smarting under insinuations that
he was implicated In the assassination
In Lisbon last February Of King Carlos
and Crown Prince Luiz created q SEN
sation In the house Of lords today by
revealing what he declared to be the
true history OF this regicide plot. -.
He asserted the assassinations had
been decided upon at a meeting Of the
leaders of the progressive and re-
generator parties a few days before
they were carried out. A number of
republicans were also present at the
meeting.
Alpoim charged that the republicans
proposed to obliterate the entire royal
family with the exception of Maria Pia,
mother of King Carlos, but the mon
archists insisted that such a general
slaughter would be useless. Finally
Manuel. Silvia Buissa and Alfredo
Costa were given $4,000 and $40, 900
respectively. to kill King Carlos and
Premier Franco. Arrangements were
made by other. men to cover the flight
of the assassins, but when Buissa and

YOUNG CUGCENHEIM
REFUSES TO STAND
CUT IN HIS WAGES
Son of the Multi Millionaire
Head Of the Concern Was
Working as a Laborer.

Aguas Calientes, Mexico. July I'll. r.
Guggenheim, the ~2O-year-old son of Daniel
I~uggenheim. the multi-millionaire head
Of The American Smelling and Refining
company, objects to being on the list of
employees who recently had their salaries
suit, and he Is on his way to New York to
confer with his father about It.
MI. Guggenheim came to Aguas Cali
sntes several months g and took a posi-
lion at the large smelling plant of the
American Smelling and Refining Id
here. He made the trip down here in q
luxurious private car. but the next day
after his arrival he discarded his good
clothes n began work in the ore bins
alongside the common Mexicon poems.
Daily Wage 81 "Mex."
1t is said that he received 81 Mexican
money q day for this work of sorting ore.
He was promoted to other departments
Of the smelter from time to time and is
now attached to the office force. His
face Ia still bronzed and his hands hard
ened by the outside labor which he per-
formed. He has been wholly dependent
upon his wages during his stay in Aguas
Galleries. He made barely enough to pay
his board bill and other living expenses.
He lived a simple life here and made
many friends among members OF the
American colony.
When the recent reduction in salaries
was announced, by which a saving OF
about $4,000 annually to the company Is
to be made, It was found that Guggen-
helm was on the list Of men who were to
hereafter receive less pay.
Not Striking, but Laying on.
IT I'M not getting so much now that 1
can't find plenty Of use for 1t, and If they
slash 1t any 1 shall be in hard straits"
G~uggenheim said, when he heard OF the
cut.
He did not go on a strike, but has taken
q brief lay-ofc so he can go home and lay
the matter before his father. He expects
to return to Aguas Calientes in a short
time and resume his work at the smelter.
He has amply demonstrated his capacity
for hard labor.
