KENTUCKY INDORSES TAFT.
Delegates Instructed TO Vote for Hin Untll
HE shall He Nominated"

LOUISVILLE, Ky, May 7,-vKentucky's 9
Republican convention to-day adopted
resolutions binding the delegates to the
national convention to vote for William H..
Taft until he shall be nominated
The feature Of the day was the fight made
by Senator-elect William o. Bradley for a
place among the big four delegates at
large, for which honor he was defeated only
after several ballots by William Marshall
Bullitt Of Louisville, the recognized Taft
leader in Kentucky.
Senator Bradley made an impassloned
appeal for harmony and almost swept the
convention on its feet with his oratorioal
outburst. Then followed the battle Of the
ballots, in which Bradley's supporters, even
among the most rabid Taft men, urged his
selection and fought to the last to get a
place for him.
But his support Of Fairbanks and his in
fammatory speeches. as they said told
against him and In the end Bnllitt got a
majority. There was much confusion dur
ing the balloting, many counties changing
their votes and number Of outsiders being
voted for before the final count gave Bulitt
a majority.
The four selected are Gov A. T.. Wilson,
W. Marshall Bulitt, Judge A. r. Burnam
and G. W. johnson, a negro, Of Lexington
1t is now certain that twenty-five Of the
Nwenty-six votes OF this State will be cast
for Taft and that Of the remaining four two
will be contested.

TAPACHULA Mexico, May THE polti-

Of refugees who have just arrived here from
points across the border.
They report that arrests Of alleged
offenders against the Government con-
tinue to be made daily at the instance OF
President Cabrera and that the prisons at
Guatemala City and San Jose are rapidly
being filed with these political prisoners.
Women Of wealth and refinement have
fallen victims to the draRnet whch'extends
to all parts Of the country.
The national military college has lost
most Of its students. the young men having
fied to evade arrest on the charge Of being
implicated in the students plot to assas-
sinate Cabrera.
Miguel Bustillo, the Minister Of Finance
Of Honduras, who was in Guatemala at the
time of the attempted assassination Of
Cabrera, is still a refugee in the Mexican
Legation in Guatemala City, He got his
passports from President Cabrera, but Is
sal to fear that an attempt will be made
on his life should he leave the protection
Of the legation.

return 10 New Brunswick.
Everything went well until they reached
the lower bay, when the continual pounding
of the heavy sea put their engine out OF gear
and the little boat was at the mercy OF wind
and waves. She was being rapidly carried
oceanward when at daybreak Capt. Potter
sighted them.
The Schmidt brothers were too much
exhausted then TO move but Schroeder
stood up In the boat and waved a coat as
a signal Of distress and II was seen by Capt.
Potter. who promptly ran alongside and
took of the three men. Capt Potter was
on his way from Fire Island TO Manhattan

4 PRAYER PINNED TO BABY,

MAY God forgive me for deserting baby
on such a night" was the note Henry Ran

bled upon inside the door Of the apartment
house where he lives at 800 East li9th street

it's wrists and white knit socks that kicked
upward into his peering face The basket
was wet. but baby was very dry. That's
why he yelled 80 Justify.
Randall had never found anything on
his steps but the milk and the paper before
so he shifted responsibility and summoned
a policeman. Baby went to the East l2eth
street station and there Mrs. Cleary, the
matron, found a package Of prepared baby
food on the shelf where she keeps her bird
seed After that baby was content to go
to Bellevue, like any other citizen in diff

SCHOONER SEIZED AT HATANA.
Suspected Of Having Arms and Powder
Cuban Outlook Gloomy.
special Cq0Ie Ds,pnch 10 THE SrY.

HAVANA, May "A police boat chased
and seized the schooner II Blanco outside
the harbor to-day. The schooner was
bound for lbarra. on the eastern north coast.
The seizure was due to her having on board
six unmanfested boxes marked hard
ware which are supposed to contain arms
and dynamite or gunpowder.
The schooner was brought into the harbor
and was then permitted to depart, but
three customs inspectors accompanied her
They will make further investigation
when the FL Blanco reaches her destination.
Government officials say they have no
knowledge Of any plans to attempt revolt
or Of any trouble in the eastern provinces,
but the seizure was made owing TO reports
by the secret police. The police boat nearly
failed TO overtake the schooner, whereupon
the revenue cutter Hatuey was ordered to
get up steam.
The new municipal law, which rectiies
many Of the evils that are held to have
caused the revolution Of 1906 has been sent
10 Gov Nlagoon by the advisory commits
sion
Many students Of Cuban affairs believed
firmly that the basis Of the unsettled con-
ditions lies in the control Of the municipal
tiles. President Palma ran the municipal
tiles in a manner which bred dissatisfao-
ton and which made possible the success Of
the few leaders who revolted in 1906.
The commission will finish the provincial
law and the matters Of municipal taxation
and municipal accounts in a few days and
will then take up the law Of executive power,
which is more important than all the others.
The officials despair Of the success Of these
laws, which will be first administered under
Cuban re gime The feeling prevails
that the greatest value Of the vast work will
be under another American intervention.
A certain Cuban member Of the commission
said TO the other members recently that he
trembled 10 think OF the results OF Cuban
attempt to administer these new laws, in
which they are entirely unversed
The Luchd says to-day that seemingly
no Presidential candidate has yet appeared
who inspires sufficient confidence TO insure
the future in the event Of election. This
same pessimism prevails everywhere

STRIKE on SINGER BuILDING.
NOn.I nlOn Men Employed In One store and
All the Others Walk Out

A general strike took place yesterday
on the Singer Building on account Of the
employment Of non-union men by Fischer
Bros. Fifth avenue aud l37th street at
one Of the stores in the building where
this firm has the contract for the fitting
and wood trim The strike is the outcome
Of the old fight Of the carpenters against
the use Of non-union wood trim On this
point the district council Of the Brother
hood Of Carpenters Is now deadlocked
with the Master Carpenters Association
All work on the building which has
been rushed to completion was stopped
by the strike except the painting. The
painters were allowed to remain at work
because they knew that men were in readi-
ness to Ill their places.
The strike affects 200 carpenters, steam
filters, metallic lathers. electrical workers,
asbestos workers, pasierers and helpers.
elevator constructors. sheet metal workers,
tile layers and helpers, maGhinists, riggers,
cement masons, boilermakers and wire
workers For the last night or two the
tower of the Singer Building has been
brilliantly Illuminated, but was not illumin-
ated last night because the electrical workers
were on strike.
Fischer Bros. are not in the Building
Trades Employers Association, but the
rest Of the sub-contractors are. Daniel
Featherson, secretary Of the district council
Of the carpenters. said last night that the
executive committee ofthe general arbtra-
tion board has raised the arbitration plan
80 that the trades could quit without vo-
lating the plan, as the strike was against
a non-association firm.
The carpenters are working for the
members of the Master Carpenters Asso-
citation under last years agreement, as
the deadlock over the demand Of the car
penters that none but union wood trim
be used has delayed the signing Of the new
agreement. The question Of wages and
hours had been settled

Four Inches Of Rain Fell Here In Twelve
Hours.

A storm whose periphery enclosed nearly
half the continent and which started out
Colorado way five days ago, travelling at
times with the sluggishness OF a Western
stage coach, hit this latitude yesterday and
smiled more rain on the boroughs than they
have absorbed since the very moist twenty

Forecaster Emery found the flood oon-
siderably over his shoe tops, or go inches
deep. =,
In the twelve hours ending at o'clock
last night an even four inches OF rain had
come down, mostly at angles that soaked
folks abroad from the waist down, um-
brellas Notwithstanding. The most tor
rential minutes were the five ending at
