TAFT CHOICE OF
HAWKEYE STATE
SECRETARY or WAR HAS EASY
SAILING IN THE IOWA
CONVENTION.
Ohio PLATFORM ON TARIFF
Friends Of Venerable Senator Allison
In Complete Control Of
Meeting.

DES MONIES, Iowa. March 49,
The Republican State Convention to
doy elected four delegates at large to
the National Convention, Instructed
them to vote for william H. Taft, In
dorsed Senator William B. Allison by
vote Of 672 1924 to 507 TIA, and ap-
proved the plank of the tariff at a
special session of Congress. The
Cummins people, although defeated In
the convention, took especial delight
in having, as they declared, forced
the stand-patters to indorse a plan
calling for a revision of the tariff, and
they made a point of frequently re-
minding the Allison people Of the fact
The latter insisted, however, that
there are as many revisionists in their
ranks as with the Cummins men, and
declare that the vote in the convention
today showed conclusively the rela,
tive popularity Of the two men
throughout the State,
It was generally expected before the
final session of the convention that
there would be a majority and minori-
ty report on the tariff, and the Cum
Minis men had prepared to make
strong fight for the adoption OF the
Ohio plank. When the committee was
actually settled down to work, how.
ever 1t was evident that the Allison
people were determined to indorse
the plank themselves, and the only
fight that was made on the report Of
the committee on the resolution was
against the Endorsement of Senator
Allison Four members of the COM
mittee united ON minority report OBJ
jecting to the Endorsement OF the SEN
ator, but did not offer any substitute.
Aside from the vote on this question
and on the report of the Committee
on Credentials, the convention was
unanimous, and all selections for del
egates and alternates at large were
made by reclamation
Following is that section to the plat
form dealing with the tariff:
I'VE declare unequivocably for pro-
lection, as the cardinal principle OF
the Republican party. and we afirm
our unalterable purpose to maintain
It.
Events have confirmed the wis
dom of the makers of the National
platform Of 1904, wherein the party
pledged readjustment Of rates of duty
only when conditions so change that
the public interest demand their al
teration. In accordance with this
declaration Of four years ago the Re-
publican party Of Iowa indorses the
declaration Of the Ohio Republican
platform of this year in behalf Of RE-
yision of the tariff by special session
If the next Congress insuring the
of the true principle OF
protection by imposing such custom
luties as well equal the difference be-
ween the cost Of producing at home
md abroad, together with a reason
lble profit, to the end that without
duties American manufac-
urers, farmers producers and wage
arners may have adequate protec-
ion.'"

The Naval Auxiliary Arethusa has
received her sailing orders and will
leave for Mare Island on Thursday
next, where she will probably go out
of commission. Just now she is dis
charging stores for the Iroquois, after
which she will coal for the trip back
to the Coast. Before sailing Captain
Bierer will allow his men some special
shore liberty and a couple of days to
rest up in.
The Arethusa has had plenty of hard
work since arriving in Hawaiian wa
tiers, supplying the battleship division
off Lahaina with water and discharg'
ing stores after arriving at Honolulu
The coaling and watering of the bat
tleships off Maui proved to be success
full operations, although it was neces-
sary to anchor the battleships so close
inshore that it required very nice
handling of the auxiliaries to bring
them alongside without humping.
The people of Maui surprised the
sailors by the entertainment given
them at Lahaina, reports Captain
Bierer, the Navy men not expecting
anything of the kind from so small a
community. The Arethusa commander
praises the Mauites very highly.
The change in the orders for the
feet, which kept twelve of the bat
tleships here to coal and sent only
four instead of eight to Lahaina, arose
over the fact that the facilities at
this port were underestimate. The
information of the Navy Department
was that dredging operations were un-
der way in the harbor here and that
the facilities for getting coal down to
the wharves was not of the best. 1t
was also expected that there would be
two GOLFERS here ready to be sent to

BURIAL PLACE OF HAPsBURGs.

When Emperor William of Germany
was in Vienna recently he visited the
Capuchin church to lay wreath on the
tomb of the Empress Elizabeth. This
church is not only the Hapsburg family
sepulcher, but is said to be probably
the most striking burial place in the
whole world.
Over and above the more than hun
dred collins, those of emperors and en-
presses draped in black velvet and
gold, while the lesser Hapsburgs rest
under red and silver trappings, there
is an array of crystal vases each con
tanning the heart of Hapsburg.
Ever since the thirteenth century it
has been the custom of the royal house
for it's dead to have the heart removed
and separately enshrined in a little
crystal casket, while another custom
requires the Hapsburgs TO lie actually
in wood, which, however, may have an
outer metal covering.
