KELLOGG FOR SECOND PLACE
! Mnnesotan's Name Will Be Presented
to Convention.

Minnesotan's Name Will Be Presented
to Convention
Chicago, June 13.-It has been de-
cided that Hon. Joseph Cotton of Du-
luth shall place Hon. Frank B. Kellogg
of St. Paul in nomination for the vice
presidency and Mr.. Kellogg's friends
are actively engaged in doing ali
things possible to promote Mr. Kel-
logg's candidacy.
One of the arguments which they
arc most vigorously pressing is that
Governor Johnson may be given the
second place on the Democratic ticket
and they say that If this should be
done the result in Minnesota would
become uncertain They claim also
that Mr.. Kellogg's record as a special
assistant attorney general in the pros
ecution of the antitrust and railroad
cases would render him peculiarly ac-
ceptable to the administration and to
those who endorse the course of the
administration il those matters.

Frankfort, KY, June BY an
nouncing the pardon of Caleb Powers
and James Howard, Governor Wilson
closed the last chapter in one of the
most noted criminal cases in the his
try of this state. in which the people
OF all sections of the United States
have formally expressed their interest
by signing the petitions for pardon
In the closing days of January eight
years ago, while the contest of Will
lam Goebel for the gubernatoria
seat occupied by William s. Taylor
was being heard, Goebel was shot, dy-
ing later from his wound The shot
was believed to have come from a
half open window of the secretary
of states Office and as Caleb Powers
was then filling that position sus
picion was at once directed toward
him and his arrest followed.
Four times Powers has been put on
trial for his life on the charge Of
completely in the murder, the first
three trials resulting in conviction
and sentence, death being the penalty
in two trials. On the fourth trial,
which came after the case had been
carried to the federal supreme court,
being finally appealed to the supreme
court, which turned it back to the
state courts, the jury disagreed and

Many hundreds of thousands of sig

all sections were appended to the pc

Wilson and for several weeks that
official has been considering the case.

Sick Legislator Carried Into SEN

ANTl-RACE TRACK BILL LAW
Long and Bitter Fight Ends in Vic
tory for Governor Hughes by
Vote of 20 to IS.
ANTI-RACE TRACK BlLLALAW

Albany, N. Y, June 11.-A legisla-
tive battle which for dramatic inter-
est and intensity of feeling on both
sides rarely, if ever, has been equalled
in this state came to an end when the
heroism of Senator Foelker of Brook
lyn made it possible to place upon the
statute books two bills repeating the
legal discrimination which for thirteen
years has protected public gambling
within race track enclosur while it
was felony elsewhere in this state.
The vote on each of the bills was 26
to 2s.
The lineup was in general the same
as that in the regular session, when
the bills failed of passage by a tie
vote, Is to 25, but since then Senator
Wallace of Niagara Falls has been
elected to the seat then vacant by
the death of Senator Fanchot and his
vote made the necessary 26.
Senator Foelker, who underwent an
operation on May 10 for appendicitis
intervening time was critical, came I'D
from Staatsburg, the journey of sixty
miles being a severe tax upon his
strength. He was taken to the senate
chamber just as the roll call on
dilatory motion was being taken.
He was plainly suffering from weak
ness and his response when his name
was reached was scarcely audible.
He was encouraged by his fellow SEN
ators' sympathy and on both of the
roll calls on the final passage of the
bills voted with the majority. After
wards his doctor said:
Senator Foelker stood the ord aal
as well as could be expected. He is
extremely nervous. We have not de-
cided when we shall return to Stats
burg"

PREVENT ELECTION FRAUDS
Active Intervention in Panama Pos
sibjIity,

+.
Washington, June 11.-Probably by
way of preparing the public mind for
active intervention in Panama to pre-
vent electoral frauds and ensure a
free expression of the will of the peo-
pie at the polls the war department
has made public copies of correspond
ence that has been exchanged be-
tween our government and that of
Panama relating to this subject. On
May II last Secretary Taft wrote
President Amador that he had re-
ceived petitions, which he believed to
be corroborated. showing that fraud
was about to be perpetrated i'll the
coming election and that President
Roosevelt would not permit Panama
to pass into the hands of any Que SO
elected. Subsequently the Panaman
government agreed to submit to All
inquiry at the hands of a commission
appointed by this government and
that commission is now at work But
the cores pondence shows that four
governors of provinces have been re-
moved because they are Arias men
and the electoral law has been other
wise tatmpered with. The statement
concludes:
mo opinion was expressed at the
war department whether these cir
cumstances were leading to fraud re-
quiring Intervention. 1t was said that
the government could do nothing but
await the event and then sum up the
evidence and reach a conclusion

A very mild gentleman stood at the
telephone in Washington during Sec
rotary Hays administration. He had
message which he wished to deliver,
personally to the secretary Of state.
and as he could not reach the depart
ment in time, he went to the phone,
and called up the secretary's room.
He was told, as usual, to hold the line..
and very soon voice said: ''Hello!"
The affair being Of a personal ma
ture, he wished to assure himself as
to the person at the other end, and,
asked: who is speaking?''
The reply was SO faint and brief
that it left him still in doubt, and he
said: II don't catch it,
Once more the answer was so faint
that he said: Speak louder; l don't
catch it,
There was a short pause, then he
received this answer: Hay! Hay!
Dried grass! Hay! Secretary Hay.
Now do you catch it?'
He caught it.

FOURTH OF JULY PARTY.
How to Make Your Games and Decora-
tons Patriotic.

How to Make Your Games and Decora-
tons Patriotic.
If entertaining on the Fourth OF
July, suggests Anne Rittenhouse in
the July Delineator, send out invita-
tons for a patriotic supper and have
military euchre afterward if you play
cards; if not, have any Of the popular
progressive games played at tables in
which the military effect is carried
out. Serve supper first. Decorate the
table with large mound of green
sod or green paper. On top of this
put toy cannon and around it pyra-
mids of large chocolate balls to repre-
sent cannon balls. In the sod stick
numbers Of little flags. Put a flag at
each plate sticking upright in a slice
Of bread.
Serve first a fake salad made Of
rolls of green paper in each Of which is
question on American history. Pass
around small books in red, white and
blue paper with pencils attached. In
these the guests will find numbers cor
responding to the questions that they
draw from the salad. They have the
whole supper hour in which to write
down correct answers.
After supper arrange the tables
where the games are to be played with
small mounds Of sod in the center,
each holding four flags. Give the
guests small flags for score cards. If
you wish to play games Of action in
stead of card games, the rooms can
be freed Of too much furniture so
romping can be allowed.

ALLIES PLAN STAMPEDE.
Foes of Taft Working for Roosevelt's
Nomination.

iNOI11ln SllOfi
Chicago, June 11.-Abandoning all
hope of defeating Secretary Taft in a
straightaway fight the allies have
turned their eyes in the direction of
the Roosevelt third term movement
and spent their time in debating
whether they might not snatch vic
try from defeat by starting Roose-
welt stampede at the psychological
moment.
Several conferences were held on
the subject and after the proposition
had been dissected and shredded and
put under the microscope the allied
forces were divided among them
selves, part of them urging that a
stampede be in order to defeat Taft
the others urging that Taft in the
White House would be preferable to
four years more of Roosevelt.

Tree an Old Man,s Eriend.

Charles Nicholson, Sr, has a pecan
tree Of which he is justly proud. In
1855 he was brought to Texas as a
slave. When he tas set free ne
bought a small farm and there was
one pecan tree on it. He planted a
few more trees, but they were small
or common pecans.
While young and strong he raised
cotton and corn and made living, but
nc money to save. To-day he is no
longer able to work the field but de-
votes his attention to pecan trees.
One tree bears the largest pecans
grown in America. They can be
found at the department OF agricul.
ture, Washington, where he sent a
lew.
Last year he sold S54 worth from
this one tree. He gave his friends
some and planted more. The young
trees he is selling rapidly at one del.
