BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 26.-Replying to the
questions raised by certain newspapers
which intimated that Charlemagne
Tower was trying to hold his place as
American ambassador and remain in
Berlin, Mr.. Tower authorized the state
ment that it is his in1exible determi-
nation to send his resignation to the
president within a few monhs and ask
to be allowed to retire. so that he may
return to the United States.
This agrees with what Mr.. Tower
wrote of his own accord to President
Roosevelt last autumn in personal
letter, and Mr.. Tower says 1t is ell
tirely satisfactory to the president and
fully understood by him.
There has been no reason why he
should change his plans, says the am
bassador, nor is he aware that the
president wishes him to do so in any
event.
Ambassador Tower also authorizes
the statement that his personal rela-
tions with David ]. Hill are exceed
ingly friendly and have been for
years.
When he saw the newspaper an
nouncement that Mr.. Hill probably
would succeed him he wrote to him in

BAY CITY JAPANESE PLAN
MONUMENT TO STEVENS
BY Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, March 26.-There
is a movement on foot among the Jap
anese to erect a monument to Durham
W. Stevens, the American adviser to
the Japanese consul in Korea. who
died last night from the bullet of a.
Korean.
Japanese commenced going about
among their fellow countrymen this
morning broaching the idea and sug-
gesting that subscriptions be forth
coming. The proposition is still in the
tentative stage but, judging from the
feeling which the Japanese show to-
ward the dead American, there will be
no difficulty in bringing it to accom-
plishment.
Whether the monument will be erect
ed in this city, In Toxic or in Seoul,
the theater of Stevens services to
Japan, has not yet been decided.
Pending the arrival here Of Joseph
I. Porter of Washington, D. c., broth
er-in-law of the late Durham White
Stevens, the remains of the diplomat
will remain at the st. Francis hospital.
The arrangement for their final dispo-
sition will be in the hands of the
Japanese consul general, Chozo Koike,
and DR.. Zumwalt, who will act in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the rela-
tives when Mr.. Porter arrives from the
east
Mr.. Porter is expected here Satur-
day.
No intimation has been given as to
where the remains will finally be laid,
nor what ceremonies will attend the
funeral.

Spouse to shots with which the men

CONVENTION
IN ILLINOIS
FOR CANNON
REPUBLICANS VOTE S0LIDLY
FOR "J0SEPH"
DECLARE FOR STRAIGHT REvl-
SION OF TARIFF
cuIIom, Hopkins, Deneen and Busse
Named Delegates at Large.
State Administration
Endorsed

By Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March 26.-The
Republicans of Illinois today indorsed
Joseph G. Cannon as a candidate for the
presidency; declared for revision of
the tariff, and elected four delegates at
large to the national convention. The
men chosen are United States Senators
Shelby NJ. Cullom and Albert ]. Hop
lIins, Governor Charles Deneen and
Mayor Fred A. Busse of Chicago.
The convention also indorsed the ad-
ministration of Governor Deneen and
that of all other state officers.
The candidacy of Governor Deneen to
succeed himself was not mentioned. it
being understood that only matters of
national import were to come before the
convention.
For the last two days it had been
confidently asserted by the platform
builders that the resolutions would IA
for tariff adjustment instead of "re-
vision" it being the idea that revis-
ion is generally accepted as meaning
reduction, and adjustment might mean
the raising of some schedules as we'll as
the lowering of others.
5outelI Advises Adoption
In the last moment. however, Con-
gresham Henry S. Boutell arrived
from Washington, where he had con-
suited with Speaker Cannon and other
Republican leaders, and the plank
adopted today was the result.
The Cannon men had things entirely
their own way, and there was not a
whisper of opposition through the day
All motions were passed unanimously
and without argument, and the ap-
plause that greeted the reading of the
plank indorsing the candidacy of the
speaker was great and enthusiastic.
Just before the reading of the plat
form the convention took an impromptu
and sudden adjournment because of a
fire in the Leland hotel, and many of
the delegates never returned to the
hall.
After an interim of an hour the con-
vention was called to order second
time and the final part of the program
wai carried out promptly.

NEW YORK, March 26.-Mrs. M: NJ
Caldwell of Ohio In a lecture on Life
as a Fine Art in Relation to the Arts
of Life" to an audience composed
wholly of women said:
Boys have to work too hard at
school, thus uniting themselves Tor
the real business of life. They work
for the glory of graduation, and true
education is lacking in them"
Mrs. Caldwell declared education
was bought too often with an impaired
physique as the price, and that high
state of mental cultivation thus OBJ

than blessing to the race, as she was
united for her real mission in the
