DEFRAUDED MANY
Thomas o'connor and Wife Convicted
of Using the Mails for illegal Busi-
ness-Woman Is Paroled.

New York. April 21.-Thomas o.
Connor and his wife, Frances, were
found guilty by a federal jury today
on charges of using the mails to de-
fraud. O'Connor was sentenced to
fifteen months in prison, and sentence
was suspended on Mrs. O'Connor.
The OConnors were charged with
sending circulars thruout the country
by mail saying they had inside in
formation on the stock market and
could so advise clients that the latter
could not fail to reap big profits in
speculations made on their advice.
Mrs. O'Connor. under the name of
Frances McLain, posed as the possess
sor of inside information" and In
circulars she suggested certain So
called stock brokerage firms as relia-
BILE and the best to handle the business
of clients. The brokerage firms" were
shown during the trial to be conduct
ed by O'Connor under various names.
They invariably either closed out the
deals of victims at loss to the latter,
or else failed and went out of bus
mess when demands for payments of
profits became too insistent.

Republican State Convention
Declares For Tariff Revision
But Has No Candidate
DECLARES ALL ARE SUITABLE
Resolutions Commend President Rooss-
veIt and His Policies, But Unin-
structed Delegation is chosen-Prom-
Use Made to Vote soIidIy For the
Nominee.

Concord, N. H., April 21.-The re-
lection of delegates at-large to ths
national convention, was held here to-
day. The platform renews allegiance
to the cardinal principles Of the party
and continues:
| I'VE recognize the approaching day
when the existing tariff schedules
should be carefully examined with the
view of making such change as may
be necessary to adjust them to cur
mind the fundamental republican prin-
ciple of ample protection to American
| industry and labor. In the meantime
we record our emphatic opposition to
| tariff tinkering by piecemeal. It is the
judgment of your committee that the
real interests of the republican party
of New Hampshire, as well as the real
interests of the presidential candidate
to be nominated at Chicago in June
and elected at the polls in November,
will be best served without present
action either of a specific instruction
or implied instruction in the form OF
resolutions of preference in this con-
vention.
I'VE recognize that to the untiring en-
ergy, exalted purpose and ardent pa
triotism of Theodore Roosevelt, to his
abiding faith in the people, and their
continued confidence in him, is due the
great success of his leadership, and
we hereby express our cordial ap-
proval of his administration.
"The party was never richer in the
number of it's leaders, not only In
point of patriotism and unselfsh de-
votion to our country. but as regards
their ability and craftsmanship quail
tiles. Whoever shall be the selection
of che convention at Chicago as its
candidates for president and vice
president of the United States, in full
confidence that these candidates should
be such men as will assure the contin-
uance of the policy Of the economic
and moral advance of the past few
years, we hereby pledge to them the
support, united and enthusiastic. OF
the party in New Hampshire, and an
old time majority of votes at the elec-
ton next November"
A resolution offered on the floor Of
the convention, endorsing Taft for the
presidency was tabled by 744 to %.
after brief discussion. The delegates
at-large are United States Senator
Jacob H. Gallinger, former Governor
Chester b. Jordan, Attorney General
Edward G.. Eastman, and Edwin F.
Jones.

Future Action.
Washington, April 21.-At a meeting
of the republican steering committee of
the senate today the legislative pro-
gram was discussed, but no, decision
was reached to add any important
measures to those destined for enact
n,ent at the present session of COLI
gress. In regard to currency legis'a-
tion it was stated that If the house
passed the bill providing for a COM
mission to investigate financial matters
the senate would Immediately upon
receipt of the measure vote to add the
Aidrich currency bill with the view Of
putting the whole subject into confer
ence.
Aldrich made it clear that If there
vas to be financial legislation of any
character at this session 1t woull be
along the line of what already has been
done in the senate, with concurrence III

during the recess Of congress to con-

Hale told his colleagues on the coln-

appropriation for more than two battle

DALzELL FALLS INTO LINE
pALzELL FALLS INTO LINE
Declares Tariff Has Not Affected Price
and That Combination of Manufac-
turers Exists-President Will Sign
Liability eill-Gets Favorable opin
ion From 1onaparte.

Washington, April 21-The house to-
day adopted Speaker Cannon's resolu-
tion-.authorizing the appointment of a
.Gommittee to investigate the so-called
paper trust, and the general subject OF
wood pulp, manufacture of printing
papers, etc.
The resolution provides for a select
committee of six, and was passed un-
der suspension of the rules. In explain :
alton of the resolution, Dalzell said
that it was matter of public notoriety
that there had been a large increase
in the price of paper. Never, he de-
clared, had there been such agitation
as had been aroused by the neWspa-
pers in the last few weeks. While
there was a concensus of opinion, ne
said, as to the increase, there was no
t.oncensus as to the cause of that in
crease 1t was. he said, capable OIL
mathematical demonstration that the
increase was not due to the tariff. ana
he contended that it would not pe
changed by the removal of the tarlff.
However that may be, he said, there
were those who believed the increase
]. was due to combination or trust, ana
that it was necessary to get facts upon
which to base bill to meet the case.
In the opinion of Williams, the rise
in price is due both to the tariff ana
combination, and the combination Is
due to the tariff" If, he said, it had
been intended to kill the; combination
it could have been done by putting
wood pulp and print paper on the free
list.
II De Almond declared the resolution
was but another attempt of the repub-
iicans to delude the people, and make
them believe that there is an attempt
1 to do something, when the direct at
tempt is to do nothing.

DoLLIvER SAYS HE'S COMING.
Accepts Speaking Invitation and Say
He Isn't Afraid of Results.

Special to Times Republican.
Clinton, April 21.-Senator Dolliver
disputes that he is keeping out of the
Iowa campaign because he fears Ali-
son defeat. Senator Dolliver has been
invited by Clinton people to be present
and make a speech at the organization
of an Allison club. In reply to let
ter written by prominent citizen he
says:
II have your letter in behalf of the
friends of Senator Allison in Clinton
county, inviting me to speak at Clin-
ton on the 1st of May. In reply 1 will
say that l will be glad to comply with
this request see that the anti-Alli-
son newspaper correspondents at pes
Moines, with characteristic disregard
Cor the truth, have sought to spread
abroad the report that l have given
up my intention of making additional
speeches in the old senator's behalf. 1t
is true that at the time l originally ex-
pected to return to Iowa early in the
winter it was not thought by our
friends that the time was opportune to
inaugurate a speaking campaign. AS
the session Of congress has advanced
have found myself engrossed here in
the necessary work of the committees
of which am a member. and have not
been able. until within the last few
days. to see my way clear to taking
part in campaign of speech making
in Iowa. 1t is a singular sidelight on
the degredations of bossism in some
quarters that man charged with inn
portant public business should feel any
constraint of duty to attend to 1T. 1t
seems ridiculous in the Des Moines at
mosphere that public official should
have any occupation important enough
to interfere with speech making. Since
that has been my situation UP to un-
TIL now. I have not ventured to hope
that my delay in coming to Iowa would
be understood by the correspondents.
81 am glad however, to say that
the work of the session is now we'll In
hand and that I have completed my
ARRANGEMENTS with the senator's COM
mittee to spend little time at home in
behalf of Iowa's Grand Old Man. Not
that I think that speeches are neces-
sarv. for his lifetime of unselfish devo-
ton to the public service is sufflclent
argument in his behalf. l came to Iowa
therefore. only with a view to strength
ening the purpose, which feel sure is
in the hearts of the great mass of our
neople. to protect from the meanness
of factional politics the most prec-
ions possession of Iowa-the name and
fame of our old leader
"with cordial personal regards am,
very respectfully yours.

BELIEVE WOMAN ALIVE
eloodhounds Trail Missing Dubuque
Woman to Epworth, Where She Un-
doubtedly Boarded a West Bound
Train - Little Doubt That She Is
Deranged.

Special to Times-Republican.
Dubuque, April 21-Bloodhounds
were placed on the trail of the missing
Mrs. Frank Schoenthal, Monday after
noon and traced her from her home
in the western part of this city to Ep-
worth, fifteen miles southwest, landing
there about o'clock last night. There
the hounds went to the Illinois Cen
trail depot, into the ladies' waiting
room, to the ticket window, and then
out again onto the platform, and to a
point where the day coaches on west
bound trains usually stop. There the
dogs lost the scent, and it is believed
that the woman boarded a west-bound
train, probably intending in her de-
ranged condition to reach the home
Of sister residing at Mclean, Neb.
The hounds did excellent work, fol-
lowing a well-detined trail thru high
ways, fields, forest and meadows, and
never made slip, tho the trail was
more than forty-eight hours old.
There seems no doubt now that the
woman is alive and that her mind is
1eranged

HELEN SCORES ADAMS.
Further Evidence Of Dissatisfaction
With Campaun MANAGEMENT.

With Campaign Management.
Des Moines, April 21.-The breach in
the Allison ranks because of dissatis-
faction with the management of the
senatorial campaign is widening. JUL
len Richards wants Ed Hunter, who
managed Perkins campaign for gov
ernor, and almost won, and now
Charles ID. HELEN, editor of the Des
Moines Tribune, backs Richards in his
demands. HELEN has made an at
tack on John I. Adams, Allison's man
ager, in which he says:
IF Senator Allison should be de-
feated in the primary election on June
2 it will be because of the fact that
there has been placed in charge Of his
campaign man of ineXperience who
knows nothing about the game of pol
itics; a man who has been out of har-
mony with that wing of the party with
which Allison and his colleagues have
been allied for years, a man who has
not been in harmony with the chief
supporters of the senator in Iowa and
whose actions would indicate that he
did not care for any such affiliation.
His campaign lacks those elements OF
force and enthusiasm so essential to
success and which has dominated every
battle won by Governor Cummins dur
ing the past eight years. The Allison
forces are at sea--scattered, disorgan-
lied and ssatisfied-without a leader
of ability and shrewdness in political
maneuvering, and yet with an arro-
gance that would rule or ruin any
cause.
pursuing the same methods in the be-
ginning Of his campaign two years ago.
When too late he placed his cause in
the hands of experienced men and even
with the great handicap of misman-
agement upon them by progressive
and incompetent manager, they almost
wrested the victory from defeat and
put up one of the hottest fights against
the opposition ever known in Iowa.
"The early campaign inaugurated by
Perkins is being repeated by Senator
Allison, at variance only from the fact
that the discouraging and disastrous
methods are being continued with the
primary election only five weeks in the
future. 1t may be possible that Dolliver.
Lacey. Jackson ard some of the old
wheelhorses of the party may come to
the rescue in time to save the vener-
able senator from defeat.
"Wse and experienced leadership is
needed. 1t is no time for boys play
1t is no time to educate men in the
kindergarten of politics. 1t is also
lack of wisdom to convert a "progres-
sive" by placing the reins of leadership
in his hands when such Importance at

Dolliver to the slate and the sound

orally agreed that the business of The
session could be concluded about the
middle of May unless the minority fill
buster in the house should prolong the
session. Beveridge opposed adjourn
ment without an effort to carry out

PROTEST BY PRESS
Stirring Condemnation of Paper Maxi

Press Meeting.

Press Meeting.
New York, April 21.-The following
meeting of the Associated Press to-
day:
"The representatives of TIA daily
newspapers at the annual meeting OF
the Associated Press, respectfully ask
the president and congress to grant
immediate relief from the exactions OF
combinations of paper makers. In
September, 1907, and again in Novem-
ber, 1907, the attention Of the authori-
ties was directed to the excessive
prices then demanded by the paper
combination. Immediately upon the
assembling of congress, twenty or
more bills aiming to correct these con-
ditions and to put paper and pulp on
the free list, were introduced and re-
ferred to the ways and means commit
tee"
Persistent efforts to obtain a hearing
have been refused. Dilatory tactics
have been employed W pIolou6 pASSSAAP
conditions, and carry over to another
session of congress every proposition
designed for relief. All the newspapers
here represented protest against the
delay.
"Attention is also directed to the
false reports of news print paper
prices, which were recently furnished
congress by the director of the cen
sus bureau. The newspapers here rep
resented use approximately eighty per
cent of the news print paper con-
sumed in the United States. We de-
nounce the quotations submitted to
congress as misleading and unworthy
of credence. The reiteration of the ac-
curacy of these figures directly after
the error had been called to public at
tention, tends to shake public conf
dence and respect for the statistics
thus compiled"
The speaker announced the follow
ing committee to make the proposed
investigation:
Mannan, of Illinois; Miller Of Kan
sas: Stafford, of Wisconsin; Bannon OF
Ohio: Sims, of Tennessee, and Ryan,
