ONLY NECESSARY TO
TREAT THE STOMACH
Claim of Central Figure in Recent Contro-

The new theory advanced by L. T.
Cooper relative to the human stom.

attention that the public In cities
visited by the young man has been
Joined by many physicians In q dis
cussion OF his beliefs and medicines.
Mr.. Cooper says that human health
Is dependent almost entirely upon
the stomach. He says that no dis

alternating all stomach disorders. He
further says that most men and won.
en- OF this generation are halfsick,
owing to degenerate stomachs. And
lastly, be claims that his New Dis
covery medicine will rejuvenats the
human stomach In 80 days.
Cooper has been travelling from
one city to another, conducting in
each what he calls q campaign of
education. For the past year he has
met the public In the larger cities
OF the country, and his success has
been phenomenal. Thousands OF
people have fiocked to his headquar-
tiers wherever he has gone. and the
sale Of his medicine has been beyond
anything Of the kind ever before
witnessed.
Possibly the most interesting fea.
turs Of the attention this young man
has attracted Is what his army OF
followers. whom he has converted to
his beliefs through his medicines,
have to say on the subject. The fol-

Of these Is characteristic OF Coopers
admirers generally.

WRIGHT AEROPLANE
!. GOES SAILING ALOF1

MANTEO, N c.. May 13.-Over the
narrow and forsaken stretch of country
that juts out in sand dunes into the
Atlantic ocean, the aeroplane invented
by the Wright brothers of Dayton, Ohio
today made two flights with apparently
the most successful results.
The aeroplane worked perfectly and
the ship sailed gracefully into the air
executed various maneuvers at the will
of the inventors and then dropped back
to earth without a hitch.
The inventors, who sailed their own
machine, seemed greatly pleased at the
results accomplished by the days ex-
periments.
They made an early start, a plan in
keeping with their efforts to screen the
movements of the ship from the public.
Only q few newspaper correspondents,
the keeper Of the life saving station on
Kill Devil hill and a native or two wit
messed the feat in the air.
The first flight was made along the
route mapped out for 1t for three
quarters OF a mile. Then followed an
effort of more serious pretensions, the
aeroplane this time making a complete
circle and covering distance of ap-
proximately three miles.
Both times the machine was ap-
parently under the most perfect con-
troll, and in every move appeared to
respond to the guiding efforts of the
two aeTonauts-

BISHOP HORSTMANN
DIES IN PARSONAGE

CANTON, Ohio, May 13.-Bishop Is-
natius Horstmann of Cleveland died at
the parsonage OF St. Johns church, this
city, tonight of exhaustion caused by
overwork and heart failure. The end
came suddenly and unexpectedly and
while the physician who had been in
attendance during the day was absent
from the house.
An hour before his death Bishop
Horstmann was so much better that the
nurses and physician and friends at
the parsonage thought he was on the
way to recovery after q refreshing
sleep Of an hour or more earlier in the
evening.
The bishop came to Canton on Mon
day to participate In exercises of con-
firmatfon OF three days at the local
church. After mass at st. Johns this
morning he complained Of feeling i'll.
The bishop went to the parsonage and
physician was hastily summoned.
The doctor found the prelate in a Sc
rious state of nervous collapse.

MACHINE CAUCUS
PROVES ABORTIVF
Los Angeles County Delegates
Summoned to Secret Meeting
by TObe Newman
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TIE CALL

~@~-~
SACRAMENTO. May 1s.-Members OF
the Los Angeles machines delegation
to the state convention were summoned
into caucus tonight at the Capital ho-
tel by Tobe Newman. president of the
Los Angeles county machine organiza-
tion, but owing to the scant attendance
OF accredited delegates no formal action
was taken. There was an informal dis
cussion relative to organization and
policy and the members mutually at
tempted to fan breath Of hope to one
another That was all
The caucus fell by the wayside and
new caucus has been called for tomor-
row morning at IL o'clock. All that
transpired tonight amounted only TO a
general Endorsement of Harrison Gray
Otis for delegate at large to the ma
tional convention The names OF the
three other machine program favorites
knight. Gillett and De Young-were
also given a tacft sanction by the dele
gates present, but definite action was
deferred. Chase OF Riverside was sug-
gested as the candidate for alternate
for Otis, and it IS probable that when
the delegation organization Is effected
this morning Newman will be named
for chairman

ly from San Joaquin, four from Ma
dera and six from Kings.
The situation was decided when
StanislauS. the last on the list was
reached Inasmuch as Rowen has al
ways been such a stanch supporter
of Congressman Needham, whose home
is in Modesto, it was thought that out
of gratitude the county would give
him some votes. But United States
Marshal Elliott, who was always an
anti-machine man before he got his
present job, had put in his good licks,
staying here and seeing to II that the
delegation was delivered Thus he
paid the obligation he owed the ma
chine and Senator Perkins
PERKINS HAND SEEN
In the battle today the deft hand
Of United States Senator Perkins could
plainly be seen driving hard against
the Lincoln-R Roosevelt league. The
Perkins lieutenants sent word to As
semblyman Whitmore of Stanislaus
recently that he would not be op-
posed for denomination il he would
promise to vote for Perkins for err
election. That was something he
would never do. he said. hence Marshal
Elliott was told to get busy in Stanis-
laus and do some delivering"
FLINT JOINS ENEMIES
The big surprise Of the day was the
action of Thomas Flint Jr. in coming
out for the organization" Six years
ago he was the candidate of the anti
railroad forces for governor but today
he voted with the San Benito delega-
tiOn against RoweIl. although he and
the elder RoweH have been closely al
lied on the side of clean politics for
years. Flints friends are at q loss to
account for his action He says for
himself that he has no explanation to
make 1t is said that he has been
promised the governorship or some
other high office. but that seems TO be
idle talk
The brief platform adopted indorsed
Roosevelt and Congressman Needham
and pledged the delegates to vote for
Taft for president. The total vote for
national delegates was as follows:
Rowen. 4S; Plummer, A: Roberts, so;
Hebron, 81.
The San Joaquin delegates contrib
uted to the humor of the situation
by confessing that they did not know
until last night that the purpose OF
the convention was not TO be the
nominating of a congressman. They
paid no attention to the matter Of ma
tional delegates and everybody had
gone to sleep on the job.
Unfortunately Rowell could not be
present today to manage his fight
having been called to the sick bed OF
his father, who Is dangerously III at
his home In Illinois
