REPUBLICANS
ADOPT THEIR PLATFORM

Minneapolis, Mimi, April 20.-The
platform adopted by the Minnesota re-
publicans in convention yesterday, fol-
lows:
I'VE heartily commend the splendid
administration Of President Roosevelt,
n especially his efforts for the es-
tabEshment OF a sound financial sys-
TEN, the enforcement Of the laws and
proper regulation of corporations; for
free competition in business for the
protection Of property rights; for he
stability Of government and the main
tenance OF the highest standard OF
business integrity and civic duty.
we earnestly recommended the im-
provement Of the Mississippi river and
the extension and development of the
canals, to the end that these great
natural highways may be adequate for
the commerce Of the nation.
I'VE affirm the principle OF protec-
ton OF American labor and industries,
but we believe the time has come when
there should be a revision Of the tar
If schedules by q republican congress.
Hon. William H. Taft is the choice
OF a large majority of the republicans
Of Minnesota and of the United States
for the republican nomination for pres
ldent. He is a man of great learning
and ability, wide experienced as q
on the work ~inaugurated by President
Roosevelt. We therefore instruct our
delegates In the national convention
to use all honorable means to secure
his nomination for president OF the
United States and to vote for him as,
such nominee until selected by tho
convention"

PARENTS HELD FOR
DEATH OF CHILDREN

Corning, Ia, April %. - A sensation
that has been brewing tor some time
near Carbon, this county, has culmin-
ated in the arrest of Mr.. and Mrs.
David r. Buskirk on suspicion Of know
ing more than they are willing to tell
regarding the deaths of two children
born to them, both OF whom died under
suspicious circumstances.
Mr.. and Mrs. Buskirk were arrested
at Brooks, where they were taken from
a train in which they were en- route to
Council Bluffs. They said at the time
of their arrest that they were going to
Council Bluffs to secure evidence that
would clear them of the suspicion under
which they were resting.
The arrest was made upon the action
of Coroner Christie. A c%oroner's jury
has been at work on the case Of the
deaths of the children, both of whom
died suddenly within the last two
years. The jury is holding it's findings
open pending an examination Of the
stomach Of one of the children. which
is now being made. Coroner Christie
received authority from the state board
of health to disinter the bodies OF both
children and secure their stomachs for
chemical analysis. This was done and
the coroner went to Des Moines with
the organs. where the state chemist
was to make the examination, the re-
suit Of which is not yet made known.

CHELSEA DISASTER
FIRE FIENDS' WORK

Chelsea, Mass. April 21.-The Chelsea
police and state authorities are rigidly
investigating the startling theory held
by Mayor Beck and many other Chelsea
officials and citizens that frebugs are
responsible for the great fire which
swept away millions of dollars worth
Of property In hat city, caused eleven
deaths and made 10000 homeless.
That, even while the confiagration
ragged through the city Sunday after
noon and night thousands fed for their
lives, leaving their property to the
mercy OF the flames, fiends were at
work in the burning district starting
new fires to set at naught the efforts
of the firemen to quench the flames, Is
the belief Of Mayor Beck.
The mayor declared that he had been
told by a friend, q prominent mer-
chant. whose honor is unquestioned,
that he saw one Of these foul incendi-
aries applying tine torch.
The arrest OF the two alleged firebugs
lends color to the theory Of Mayor
Beck that the fire was the work Of in
cendiaries.
Daniel Ross, aged 80, and apparently
irresponsible, was found setting fire to
a bundle Of newspapers beside a pile
Of lumber.
Manuel oliver was arrested in East
Cambridge for attempting to fire q
tenement house.

; CARS or TRUSTS
OIL ARE REJECTED
Standard Oil Company Protests
Against Action by Mime
sofa Officials.

Minneapolis, Mimi, April %. - Con-
sternation has been caused among the
western representatives of the Stand
ard Oil company by the rejection of
three cars of oil shipped into Minne-
apolis within the last week.
The company has protested against
the states test as incorrect and un-
necessarily severe and has sent one
Of its experts, from Chicago to dem
onstrate its contention.
So far as Is known his Is III first
case In which a quantity Of oil has
been condemned by the Minnesota in
spection department. The cars were
inspected at Window, Westbrook and
Cokato, and are o being held at
those points. Two OF the cars were
inspected by the same man and the
third by another man, but in all three
cases the result Of the test was the
same and the inspection reports were
verified by w. E. McEwen, chief Of
the department.
The ground upon which the Oil was
condemned vas that under the fire
test 1t would ignite at a temperature
of III degrees, whereas the law re-
quires that 1t shall stand a test OF 12O
degrees. 81"
This is the first oil that I have re-.
jected,", said w. e. McEwen, chief oil
Inspector, discussing his action, FOR
1 did o like to take any radical ac-
ton which was new in the office, and
heretofore the samples have never
been more than a shade short of grade.
/ knew 1t had not been customary to
throw out oil that would run close to
the required grade, and 1 followed the
same policy. But in this instance the
oil falls three degrees short of the
required test, and / can see no way.
but to reject 1t.
The company contends that our test
is wrong and has tried to demonstrate
this with an appliance that will test
only a ~teaspoonful of oil at a time. Our
law requires that we shall test with
a half-pint and our appliances Of that
capacity show the oil to be off GRADE.
We will consider u own appliances
standard, at least until the company
can show that 1t is wrong"
Heretofore the inspection Of oil in
Minnesota has been regarded by the
companies as more or less Of a joke.
No gravity test, for quality, is required
by the law, and the fire test has not
been conducted very rigidly.

HILL NOT RICH ENOUGH
TO BE AN AMBASSADOR

Washington, April 21.-The attitude
Of Emperor William and the Berlin
court toward David Jayne Hill, named
by the president to be ambassador at
that capital, was the subject of COM
ment in the house during the considera-
ton Of the diplomatic and consular bill.
Mr. Perkins. OF New York, and Mr..
Slayden, of Texas, expressed the opin-
ion that the objections to Mr.. Hill were
due to no other cause than that Mr..
Hill was financially unable to maintain
a certain standard Of social representa-
ton. Each Of them condemned the
practice which they said had grown up
Of selecting men of great wealth to be
the nations diplomatic representatives
abroad n urged as a mean of oun
teracting the effect of such a policy the
housing of our diplomats in buildings
owned by the government and the al
lowance to them of salaries sufficient
to enable them to maintain the dignity
OF their high office.
