INSANE WOMAN MURDERS SIX.
Husband and Children Are Killed -
Woman Commit Suicide.

Cadillac, Mich, June 16. - Seven
teen-year-old Fred Cooper, the last liv-
ing member of family of eight per-
sons, lies in Mercy hospital with but
fighting chance for life, while the
bodies of the other seven members of
the family, all slain by the wife and
mother, who afterward committed sui
eide, lie in the morgue, the object of
morbid interest by thousands of
townspeople and farmers from the
surrounding country.
The boy says that all he remembers
of the nights dreadful occurrences in
the Cooper home is a vague recollec-
tion Of hearing a revolver shot. 1t is
the superstition that the shot he heard
was the one that killed his brother,
who lay beside him in bed. It is sup.
posed that his mother Immediately
afterward sent the bullet into Fred's
head.
Mrs. Cooper was once confined in
an insane asylum, and for some time
has been brooding over that fact that
Cooper was out of work. A few days
ago she is reported to have said she
would lend it ALL"

CALEB POWERS IS free AT last
Final Chapter in the Famous 0oebel
Murder Case-James Howard
Also Set Free.

rFankIOrl. n.y., June 16.-After haV.
ing been before the courts and the
public so long as to have become a
classic in the criminal records of the
country, the famous case of Caleb
Powers, accused Of the murder of
William Goebel in the state election
struggle eight years ago, was given
its final touch Saturday by Gov. Will
son, who granted Powers full and
free pardon, with restoration of his
rights as citizen.
James Howard, convicted some
years ago of completely in the Goebel
murder, also is pardoned.
Declares His Innocence.
Powers had been notified of the par
don and was waiting in the sheriff's
room in the Jail at Georgetown. He
was pale, but smiling. When the par
don was handed to him he thanked
his friends for their efforts in his be.
half and said he had expected the par.
don.
II will go to Barbourville to see my
mother frst," he said. II will later
decide on my future plans. am un-
der the deepest obligation to the gov.
ernor for his action and to thousands
of friends who have stood by me.
II am innocent of this crime that
was charged against me-"
Tried Four Times.
In the closing days of January eight
years ago, while the contest of Will
liam Goebel for the gubernatorial seat
occupied by William s. Taylor was be-
ing heard, Goebel was shot, dying
later from his wound. Four times
Powers has been put on trial for his
life on the charge of completely in the
murder, the first three trials result
ing in conviction and sentence, death
being the penalty. in two trials. On
the fourth trial the jury disagreed,
and thereupon the efforts for pardon
for Powers, as we'll as for James How
ard, were renewed.
Many hundreds of thousands Of sig.
natures of people of all parties and
all sections we're appended to the Pc
titions that poured in on Gov. Will
son, and for several weeks that official
has been considering the case.

De LAGERcRANTz WILL RETURN.
II Is Denied That Swedish Minister
Has Become Persona Non Grata.

It Is Denied That Swedish Minister
Has Become Persona Non Grata.
Washington, June 16.-At the White
House yesterday it was denied that
DR.. Herman de Lagercrantz, the Swed-
ish minister to the United States, has
become persona non grata to the
president.
The suggestions that DR.. de Lager.
crantz had used his influence too
openly to prevent Swedes from emil
grating to the United States because
their services were needed by himself
and other large employers Of labor
and that this action had offended the
administrator, it was declared, was
heard for the first time in connection
with this rumor.
At the Swedish legation it was stat
ed that the minister had gone home
on visit and while there had tempo
rarily been employed in other official
duties, but his return to Washington
is fully expected.

Delegates and Marching Clubs
Arrive for National Repub-
lican Convention.
CONTEST ON SECOND PLACE
Vice Presidency Most Interesting Feature
of Preliminary Work-Confer
on Platform.

Chicago, June 16.-With flags flying,
bands playing and crowds surging,
the usual Sunday calm of Chicago
gave way yesterday to the many noisy
demonstrations which usher in a ma.
tional convention. State delegations
and marching clubs, slow in arriving,
passed into the city throughout the
day, and there was an incessant din
of brass bands, marching men and ex-
plodfng enthusiasm. It was an ideal
summer day, with bright skies and a
cool breeze from the. lake which gave
promise of good convention weather,
but despite the thrush of strangers
there was an undercurrent of feeling
that the multitude was not as great
and the enthusiasm not as feverish
and overwhelming as in the times
past.
Hotel Men Disappointed.
It was observed that some Of the ar.
irving state delegations were stripped
to strict business basis of delegates
and alternates, without the usual quo
ia of lung shouters. This brought the
cancellation Of hotel rooms in goodly
number until some of the large hotels
threatened legal proceedings for this
unexpected diminution Of revenue.
The headquarters of the presiden.
tial candidates were full of activity
throughout the day. But while these
scenes were going on before the eys
Of all, the more important work of
preparation on candidates and plat
form was being gone over at private
conferences in the upper chambers Of
the hotels, where few were admitted
and little was made known.
Confer on Platform.
One of the chief conferences of the
day was upon the platform, and while
this was rather informal it brought
about the clear understanding that
the document as already drafted, in
accordance with the views Of the pres
ident and Mr.. Taft, would go before
the convention in substantially its
present form.
The vice presidential contest con-
tinues to be the most enigmatical fea-
ture OF the preliminary work and the
delegates are as much in doubt as at
any time since the contest began.
The Dolliver element appears to be
making the greatest advance, and this
gave rise yesterday to reports that
the Dolliver movement was now as
Sured Of success. The friends of 9TH
er candidates were far from admitting
this and began maturing plans for de-
cisive action.
