is especially true as regards the men
who were Union veterans of the Civil
war for these greatly feel that he was
always specially interested in their
welfare.
Moreover, his great administrative
and legal ability both peculiarly fit
him to deal with the problems in the
Philippines, Panama and Cuba, for
the work of the war department is
now such that only a man with spe-
cial fitness and unusual training is
able to do justice to it. OF all the
men in the country the president feels
that Luke Wright is the man best
equipped to take up the work of the
department which for the past seven
years has been under the control first
of Root and then Of Taft
"As a young man he was captain in
the Confederate army. He is one of
the leading lawyers, not only of his
state, but of the entire South. He has
also been foremost in advocating and
insisting upon fair treatment for the
colored people"

WILL SUCCEED TAT
LIKE E. Wright to Be Appointed
Secretary Of War.
ESTEEMED BY THE ARMY
New Cabinet Minister Won Affection

in the Philippines.

= u 4
Washington, June 20.-Secretary
Taft has presented to the president his
resignation, to take effect June 30,
and it was announced at the White
House that Luke E. Wright of Tennes-
see will be appointed secretary of war
to succeed Mr. Taft In making this
appointment the president was infu-
enced somewhat by the desire to rec
ognize in an emphatic way that there
is no longer any dividing line between
the North and the South and that all
good Americans are in thought and
deed one and the president was in
huenced still more by the fact that
Governor Wright's personal attributes
and experience pre-eminently fit him
for this particular position.
The statement given out at the
White House concerning Mr.. Wright's
appointment says in part:
AS Philippine commissioner and
later as vice governor and governor,
he Won the affection and regard of
the army to a high degree and many
of the most distinguished of the men
who served in the army at the time
he was in the Philippines have urged
his appointment because they felt in
a peculiar way that he was their
champion and in a peculiar way un-
derstood them and their needs. This

BLACK HAND TRAGEDY.
Three Alleged BIackmailers Killed In
New Orleans.


New Orleans, June 1S-A black
hand tragedy with the unusual sequel
that the blackmailers, numbering four,
were killed or wounded, while their
victims escaped without a scratch, was
enacted here in the historic former
home of General Beauregard in the
French quarter and now the residence
of Pietro Giacon, wine merchant,
reputed to be one of the wealthiest
Italians in the South.
Giacona is sixty-one years old and
how he and his son Carrada managed
to kill three armed and desperate men
is not yet clear to the police. It is
certain that the Giaconas invited the
blackmailers into their house and
dined them for several hours before
the shooting.
The Giaconas claim that the I'M
usual feast was practically forced on
them and that they did not shoot I'M
til after one of their guests had
opened fire. The identified dead are
Giovanni Barreca and Giro Cusimano .
unidentified, one Italian.
Francisco Vattali of st. Louis is the
man who was wounded. Vattali claims
to have benn shot while passing Gia-
cona's house, leaving the possibility
that the fourth guest may have es-
capped despite his wounds.

VICTIMS OF MIMIC WARFARE
Two New York MiIitiamen Die From

New York, June 2O-Two soldiers

injuries received from bareback
while swabbing six-inch gun Thurs

Harveys skull was fractured and Nc

The explosion and death of the vol

minutes and for a time presenting to
the timid the spectre of a Roosevelt
stampede. This demonstration was
decidedly the feature of a day other
wise notable for a stirring speech
from the permanent chairman of the
convention, Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts, for much
practical procedure in placing the con-
vention on a smooth running basis and
for the final defeat of the plan to re
duce the representation of Southern
states at future national conventions.
Probably the most important act of
the day, and the one having greatest
significance, was the adoption of the
report of the committee on credentials,
seating the Taft delegations practical
ly in toto If there had been any
lingering doubt of the Taft strength it
disappeared before this decisive ac-
ton. which in effect placed upward of
700 delegates in the Taft column.
Equally important, and even more re
markable, was the final acceptance of
this result by the allies without the
loiludl1ly u dlsSenIlng minority re-
port and without carrying the ques.
ton to the floor of the convention for
the open fight, which had been long
threatened.
The resolution offered by James
Francis Burke of Pennsylvania reduc-
ing the representation of states to
basis of Republican votes cast by
those states was defeated by a vote
of SOC to All after bitter fight on
the floor of the convention.

s. Chicago, June 19.-With Congress-
man James S. Sherman of New York
chosen as vice presidential candidate
and running mate of Secretary Taft
the Republican national convention of
1908 passed into history. The final
session lasted less than two hours.
The committees to notify the candi-
dates were officially promulgated, Sen
ator William Warner of Missouri, past
commander-in-chief of the Grand Army
OF the Republic, being selected to
head the delegation that will call upon
Secretary Taft, and Senator J. C. Bur-
rows of Michigan being placed at the
head of the committee to notify Mr..
Sherman.
Before the convention embed it
was practically certain that the vice
presidency would go to Mr.. Sherman.
A large number of states had endorsed
his candidacy in caucus and it spread
like wildfre The New York delega-
ton solidly stood back of Mr. Sherman
and when the voting began there was
a rush of delegates to fall into line,
victory being assured to the New York
represe sentative long before the roll
had been half completed.
Speaker Cannon appeared unexpect-
eddy upon the floor of the convention
and by unanimous consent was grant
ed the privilege of making the second
ing speech for Mr.. Sherman, who had
been placed in nomination by Timothy
L. Woodruff, chairman of the New
York delegation
Mr.. Cannon was uproariously greet
ed as he stepped to the convention
platform and his earnest tribute to
Mr.. Sherman, one of his floor leaders
in the lower house of congress, was
enthusiastically applauded.
Governor Curtis Guild of Massachu-
sets, former Governor Franklin Muir

were the only candidates for the vice
presidency formally placed in nomina-

ton. There were scattering votes,
however, for Vice President Fairbanks
and Governor Sheldon of Nebraska
from two of the state delegations.

whelming one, s15 votes being the to-
