This scene lasted 45 minutes.
At the conclusion of the wildly spec.
tacular demonstration, the chairman,
Henry Cabot Lodge, informed the dele
gates that under no circumstances would
Roosevelt accept and he desired
mis- friends to cast their votes Tor the

Not since the days when Bryan made

Of Noted ST. Louis Jufist
We're Found T0psy TuFvy
at Autopsy
Heart Upside Down, Likewise
Liver and Other Organs
Tangled Up

Baltimore, Md, April 21.-The
during an autopsy on the body of
Judge John e. McKeighon of ST..
Louis, were astonished to discover
that instead of the usual sitting of
the organs, those In the body were
scattered about in an almost unbe-
lievable way.
His heart was turned in a. position
the reverse of normal, his kidneys
were united by a ligament in the
same shape as horses and the liver
was upside down, with the gall
bladder on top. Many of the small
er organs were in an entangled con-
dition.
How Judge McKeighon lived with
such strange transposition of the
organs of his body apears marvel
Gus. The surgeons are mystified at
it. Whether he was born with his
organs in abnormal positions or
they were put in this state through
disease or some freak of nature is
not known.
Judge McKeigon lived to be 6G
years old and was considered one OF
| the ablest lawyers of st. Louis. He
became seriously IL at St. Louis in
| February and his physicians were
| unable to fanahom his symptoms.
He was brought to John Hopkins
| hospital early in March where an
operation was performed, during
which discovery was made of such
a startling nature that the family
| consented to the autopsy.

New York, N. Y, April 21.-The
annual meeting of the Associated
Press was held at the Waldorf-As-
toria hotel today With N exception
ally large attendance of members
from every section of the country.
Aside from the transaction of pure
ly routine business affecting the Or
ganization, the most important ac-
ton taken was the presentation and
adoption of an address asking the
president and congress to grant
immediate relief from the exact1ons
of the combinations of paper max
ers."
The following is the address:
Representatives of ia daily
newspapers gathered at the annual
meeting of the Associated Press re-
spectfully ask the president and con-
gress to grant immediate relief
from the exertions of the combina-
lions of paper makers. In Septem-
Der, 1907, attention of the authori-
ties was directed to the excessive
prices then demanded by the paper
combination. Immediately upon the
assembling of congress twenty or
more bills aiming to correct these
conditions and to put paper pulp on
the free list were introduced and re-
| ferred to the ways and means conf
| mittee. The presidents efforts to
| obtain hearing have been refused.
Dilitory tactics have been employed
to prolong the present conditions
and to carry over to another session
of congress the proposition designed
for relief, and all the newspapers
here represented protest against the
delay.
"Attention is also directed to the
false reports of the cost of news
! print paper, and the prices which
were recently furnished to congress
by direction of the census bureau.
| The newspapers here represented
use approximately 80 per cent of
the news print paper consumed in
the United States We denounce the
| quotations as submitted to congress
| as misleading and unworthy of cred
ence and the reiteration of the &C
curacy of these figures of the direct
or after the error had been called
to public attention tends to make

The choosing of directors resulted
in the reelection of five directors

SLIDES
In Mountain Region Tie Up
CanuCk Railroad for
Two Days
Unusual Warmth Causes
Whole Mountain Sides
10 Cover Track

Winnipeg, Man, April 21.-All
Canadian Pacific trains have been
held up in the Rocky mountains the
past two days by remarkable slides
of snow. The chief slides occurred
at Bear Creek and Illecillewaet on
the main line, and at Sirdar on
Crows Nest. The Two former sta
lions are situated between Donald
and Revelstoke, in the heart of the
worst of the mountain country.
The snow descending the sides of
the cliffs carried with it immense
quantities of ice, rock, earth and
gravel, and completely blocked the
track in places, carrying it away in
others, as well as telegraph wires
and poles. The weather is very mild
all through southern British Col
umbia and the ice melted with great
rtpidity on the mountains, resulting
in the rapid rising Of rivers and
the movement of large quantities OF
snow.
Hundreds Of men were hurried
forward by special trains from Don
aid and Revelstoke to open way
through the debris, but it will be
another day before it can be clear
ed entirely.
