MINNESOTA GOES

FOR JOHNSON
Remarkable Demonstration at
Democratic State Convention
DIDN'T WANT NOMINATION
Has Repeatedly Refused to Accept

I'll Officially Notified.

Minneapolis, Mimi. Aug. 20.-The
democratic state convention yesterday
afternoon stampeded for Gov. John
A. Johnson and nominated him for
reelection with a rush after rs-
markable demonstration. When the
roll call Of counties was made for
nomination. Aitken county yielded 20
Remsey county (St. Paul) and May.
or Daniel w. Lawyer of st. Paul took
the platform and at the conclusion Of
10 words, he mentioned the name of
John A Johnson.
One OF the widest demonstrations
ever seen in democratic state con-
vention in Minnesota ensued. Hen
nepin county (Minneapolis) tore up
its standard and started a wild march
about the hall. Everybody else
seemed to join in. Some delegates
grouped themselves on the stage
about the picture of Gov. Johnson.
Band music added to the pandemon.
ium and delegates yelled and cheered
for Johnson. SO
Frank Day, the governors repre-
sentative Immediately rushed out of
the building to find a telephone In
order to get into communication with
the governor at the capital. Minute
after minute sped by but still the
delegates yelled excitedly, waved
banners, carried the picture OF Gov.
Johnson about the hall and put on a
duplication Of the demonstration CIV

This second nomination OF johnson
after 64 minutes of spectacular demon
stration was contrary to his wishes.
He had repeatedly refused to be a
candidate and declared that IL nomi-

on without general. His secretary,
Frank A. Day, last night said that he
had knowledge Of the governors

COLE BROTHERS MAKE GOOD
People Of Burlington Well Pleased
With Circus

Cole Brothers circus came to Bur-
lington yesterday, says the Free Press
OF August 10, and made good. That
statement means much when 1t is re-
membered that much was claimed for
the show in the way OF novelties and
cleverly executed acts of a difficult
nature.
At 10 o'clock came the parade, a
feature OF circus day so dear to the
children and of interest to all. Until
recently, when the circus trusts abb
sorbed most of the travelling tented
organizations and made an agreement
to cut 1t out, the parade was just as
much part OF the days festivities as
the show itself and its elimination
came as a distinct shock which many
have not yet become accustomed to.
Cole Brothers resolutely declined to
enter into the trust or to become
party to any agreement which would
omit the pardae and there is abundant
evidence that the people fully appre'
ciate this action.
At one o'clock the doors were open
ed and there was a rush for the men,
agerie and side shows, where Wild an
finals and freaks from all parts OF the
world we're on exhibition. Perhaps
the most interest conferred about the
cage which contained happy family
of Royal Bengal tigers. 1t is true the
father was separated from his two lit
tie ones and their mother, but TINS
was perhaps wise, since the bump OF
affection In the tiger is not at all well
developed and he would probably not
show the solicitude for his little ones
that the mother appears to have. The
two cubs were born In Augusta, Me-,
August 6 less than week ago and
are about the cutest little things that
one could imagine.
Previous to the circus program the
excellent band entertained the peo-
pie with concert while the clowns
kept the crowd in good humor. Then
came the cavalcade, around the hippo
drome track, after which for two
hours the rings, the center stage and
the network of aerial trappings over
head were occupied by the top-liners
of their profession--the aristocrats OF
the circus world. Everything was
brisk and snappy with the sort OF nov
elites and features which only the
generous management of a really big
show can provide-but which not all
big shows do provide by any means

HANS BROTHERS
BOTH HELD FOR
KILLING ANN|S
COrOner's Jury Says Thornton
Aided Peter
MRS. HAMS CONFESSION
Counsel For Hslns Says II VIII Be
Made Public and VIII Shock the
Country.
MRS. HAMS CONFESSION

New York. Aug. 2O.--After being
out 20 minutes, a coroner's jury last
night brought in a verdict that VIII
liam e. Annis who was killed las Sat
urday, came to death as the result of
pistol shot wounds inflicted by Capt.
Peter c. Hams, Jr, u s. A., aided and
abetted by Thornton jenkins Hams,
his brother.
When the verdict was announced,
Coroner Amber had to rap with his
gavel and court officers had to caution
the spectators as an attempt vas
made to applaud.
In the excitement crowd gathered
around Thornton jenkins Hams and
began to question him as to the trag
edy. He was asked II he felt justl-
fed in holding a crowd at bay with a
revolver while his brother shot down
Annis. Before Hams could reply,
John F. Mcintyre, chief counsel for
the brothers, rushed to his side and
shouted
mo, no, don't answer that qucs-
ton"
In his efforts to prevent Hams from
answering, the lawyer clapped his
hands over the clients mouth and
was probably just In time TO prevent
the prisoner from committing himself.
Before the inquest, John F.. Mcln-
tyre, chief Of counsel for the Hams
brothers, gave out the following state
ment:
In answer to the statement made
by Mrs. Hams that she was made to
sign a confession while under the in
iluence OF drugs, wish TO say that
my clients and their distinguished
father have told me that there were
four witnesses present when the con
fession was made. one Of them being a
prominent New York lawyer. These
witnesses will testify at the trial.
am also told that Mrs Hams talked
to several persons regarding the incid
ent related In the confession some
time before she made 1t, and the per
| sons will be witnesses.
when Capt. Hams was called bach
from the Philippines, he questioned
his wife regarding rumors he had
iheard about her, and he became con
vinced that his suspicious were wrong
Later, he said, facts developed which
made him demand the confession
from his wife and she made it.

 The first volume of Pioneers and Makers of Arkansas" just published by Prof. J. H. Shinn, contains many facts of interest to Faulkner county people. It ap- pears that the little town of Cadron, that once stood on the east banh of the Arkansas at the mouth of the Cadron, was an important factor in the states territorial history. Ja- cob Pyeatt moved to Csdron in 1915 and founded new settlement. In ISIS there was a sale of town lots there which brought SI 800. co.
