week, to discuss methods of conserv-
ing the nations natural resources,
will have no direct political bearing,
it will probably not be without its
effect upon the fortune of the repub-
lican presidential candidates. 1t is
understood that both Secretary Taft
and Governor Hughes will be in at
tendance at the conference, and
there can hardly fail to be compari-
sons. William Jennings Bryan has
also been invited by President
Roosevelt. Governors from many
states will be here, and large num-
Der of congressman will take part
in the deliberations of the congress.
The first session will be held on
Wednesday and the meeting will
continue through Thursday and Fri
| day
| Republican state conventions will
be held next week iii number of
states, including Louisiana, Michi-
gan, Idaho, Oregon, Washington,
Georgia, Texas and Virginia
The first state convention of the
week will be that of the lilly white"
republicans of Louisiana, to be held
in New Orleans on Monday. Dele
gates pledged to Taft will be chosen.
The BLACK and tan" or negro fac
ton will a<o send delegates to Chi
cago, but the whites control the sit
uatipn and have the official sanction
of the state
Michigan republicans will hold
! their state convention in Grand Rap
ids on Tuesday. The state is appar-
emily lined up in the Taft column and
| there viii probably be no opposition
to his Endorsement The same condi-
| ton, in regard to presidential pre-
| ference, is reported to exist in Idaho.
| which will hold its republican state
convention in Wallace next week
Thursday will be field day for
the Taft boomers. The state conven-
tions of North Dakota, at Minot
| Montana, at Butte; California, at
Sacramento; Oregon, at Portland.
and Washington, at Spokane, are ex-
pected to instruct their delegates for
Taft. The Georgia convention, to be
held at Macon. will likely be marked
by a struggle between the white and
negro factions. A convention o1
Virginia negroes will be held il
Richmond to choose anti-Taft dele
gates, which will contest for seats
in the Chicago convention with the
Taft delgates already selected
Texas republicans will get into the
ring on Friday, when the two oppos-
ing factions will hold state conven-
tions in different cities. The regular
republican organization, which ia
vors the nomination of Taft, will
meet in Fort Worth, while the re-
organized faction, composed mainly
Of negroes, will hold its state and
district conventions IN Waco.
The most important democratic
gathering of the coming week will
be the Minnesota state convention
to be held In ST. Paul on Thursday
1t is considered certain that Cover
nor Johnson will be indorsed by the
convention and that delegates pledg-
ed to support his candidacv will be
sent to Denver.

of the pottery and many human
bones were found inside this room.
The roof of the room had been made
of timbers thrown across with stones
placed on them. This had caved in.
which had smashed the pottery and
the skeletons, too. In addition to the
skeletons and pottery there were
found a few flint tools
The fragments of pottery are very
interesting. Some of this showed a
good deal of decoration. Some pieces
about the top showed little raised
places on the outside and it was cas-
lily seen that these were made by
taking sharp stick and punching
through from the inside while the
clay was wet. In one instance the
maker had punched too hard and
had punched through. He had press
ed the clay back into place with his
thumb and the markings of the
thumb were clearly shown on the
piece of pottery which had been sub
sequently burned.
The mound was one of the largest
known. 1t was 1870 feet long by 110
wide and raised IA to 16 feet above
the level of the surrounding ground
On top of it grew two elm trees and
an oak of great size. Numerous clam
shells of specie not now found in
the river nearby were found in the
mound. Three or four feet under the
surface of the mound was found a
soil of unusual character. 1t was
very dense and hard, which it was
impossible to penetrate with a pick
AS to the age of the mound no
one has yet been found to hazard a
guess. For many years dead man
buried in the mound in 1850 has
stood guard over it and prevented
excavations. Relatives objected to his
remains being moved 1t was found
that he had died of smallpox and the
state law prohibited opening the
grave This was finally arranged,
however, and the last legislature ap-
propriated the money.

BILL HAYWOOD
FOR PRESIDENT
Former Head Of Western FEEDER
alton Of Miners Being
Doomed By Socialists.
DEBS To Be SIDE TRACKED
Since His Acquittal for Murder Hay
wood Has Toured the Country
in the Furtherance Of His
Presidential Boom.

Chicago, lay 3-''Bill Haywood
for president,
This is the battlecry of the social
ists who are gathering in Chicago to-
day for the national convention Of
the party, which will begin tomor-
row. While a few of the more con-
servative members of the party are
opposed to the Haywood boom, the
rank and file is for him. Eugene V.
Debs, the indiana man, who in past
campaigns has lead the socialists to
defeat, is among Haywood's most
devoted adherents and was the first
to suggest his nomination. At that
time Haywood was still languishing
in Boise jail, charged with being the
leader of the inner circle" of the
Western Federation of Miners and
with having hired Harry Orchard to
slay Ex-Governor Steunenberg and
a score of others. Since mis- acquittal
Haywood has been touring the coun-
try in furtherance of his presidential
boom. For a time he was paid by
the Western Federation of Miners
as it's travelling representative, but
he was recently dropped from the
rolls and no longer has any official
connection with the union.
For the first time since the social
ist party became a factor in Amer
lean politics. every state and terri
tory of the union will have delegates
in tomorrow convention. These
delegates Will represent only the
holders of the little red cards of the
party who are paid up and in good
standing. AS the most revolutionary
of American parties and one which
proposes to overturn the existing
industrial order, the organization
has no source of income other than
from the workingmen who mainly
comprise it's membership, and each
of these Is required to pay a small
sum monthly as dues. While the par
ty received 406,2 votes in the last
election, when Eugene V. Debs was
the presidential candidate, the dues
paying membership is only about
0,000 Only these will have any
voice in tomorrow's convention.
Party leaders declare that they
expect the socialist vote this fall to
be double that in 1904, and that in
case the old party should nominate
conservative candidates, socialist
victory is among the possibilities
Not many of the delegates. however
seriously consider the election of
Haywood, but they assert that he
will receive the support of many
thousands of non-socialists who will
| take that method of expressing theiI
! disapproyal of President Roosevelt

Two Thousand Relics Have Beer
Unearthed at Boone, la.


Des Moines, Ia, May 9.-Excava-

completed Wednesday and during
the final stages of the excavations
over 1000 pieces of pottery were
discovered bearing all sorts of marks
and decorations, and giving evidence

Curator Harlan of the historical de-
partment is able to ascertain Is one
of the richest in America and the ex-
cavation will be left some days so as
to permit expert archaeologists to
come and examine the finds If they
wish.
The method used in opening the
mound was to cut OF the sides like
slices are cut from cake. In the
center was found the room with the
