ALLISON men
in THE SADDLE
Have Everything Their Own
Way in the Iowa State
Convention
Indorse Senator Allison,
Tariff Revision and
Elect Taft Men /.

Des Moines, la, March 18.-The
Iowa republican convention today
elected four delegates at large to the
national convention, instructed them
to vote for William H. Taft, indoors
ed Senator William B. Allison by a
vote of 67,217-24 to 5,077-24, and
approved the plank of the Ohio plat
form calling for a revision of the
tariff at a special session of cong
ress.
Allison people dominated the con-
vention and had things their own way
throughout. The Cummins people,
although defeated in the conventions
took special delight in having, as
they declared, forced the standpat-
tiers to indorse a plank calling for a
revision Of the tariff, and they
made point of frequently remind
ing the Allison people of the fact
The latter insisted, however, there
are as many revisionists in their
ranks as with Cummins men and de-
clare that the vote in the convention
today showed conclusively the rela-
tive popularity of the two men thru
out the state.
When the chairman of the com.
mittee on resolutions read the plank
declaring that Senator Allison had
served his party and his country well,
delegates from Polk, the home coun-
ty of Cummins, Interrupted with:
| "And the railroads. When the
platform announced that the senator
possessed strength for all emergen-
cies, another member of the same del.
egation asked sarcastically, 'Then
why don't he use it?'
Allison was as quick to retort as
Cummins men were ready to jibe
and the witty sallies that passed from
| one side to the other set the conven-
ton in roar Of laughter.
| It was generally expected before
the final session of the convention
| that there would be a majority and
minority report on the tariff, and the
] Cummins men had prepared to make
a strong fight for the adoption of the
Ohio plank.
| When the committee settled down
to work, however, it was evident that
the Allison people were determined
to indorse the plank themselves, and
the only fight that was made was or
the report of the committee on reso.
buttons against the Endorsement OF
Senator Allison.

Good Time by Family
and Friends
|Deluqed With Good Wishes
and fIoWerS-..IS in
Fair Health

Lakewood, N. j., March 18.-After
a quiet family celebration of his
5seventy-irst birthday, Grover Cleve-
land, for eight years president of the
United States, was able to say tonight
that he was in better health than
for some ime past. Mr.. Cleveland
immensely enjoyed the little affair
prepared in his honor in which only
those of the home circle and very
. few intimate friends participated.
Tonight the former president said:
II am feeling much better than I
have for some time before, already
the benefit of Lakewood climate is
apparent. A little trouble with my
feet had made impossible long walks
during the last few weeks. Today,
however, was able to enjoy long
or stroll than has been possible for
many months
MIR. Cleveland has arranged to take
| baths here next week. How long his
stay will be is not determined. Mrs.
tessifss*elaHd and children, who came
| over for the day, returned to Prince
ton late today.
Today Mr.. Cleveland exhibited
much of the physical and all of the
mental vigor that was his during his
incumbency of the White House.
During the day he received an almost
| endless number of congratulatory
kilograms, while floral expressions of
| friendship fairly filled the apart
ments he coupled at the Lakewood
4 hotel.
Luncheon, in honor of the occasion
was served in the private dining
room, the walls of which were deco.
rated with roses and carnations, and
draped with American flags. Mrs.
4 Cleveland, who had been there, went
to Princeton early in the morning
and returned in time for luncheon,
bringing with her her children, Rich
ard, Folsom, Francis Grover, Esther
and Marion, for whom the occasion
was made holiday from school, DR..
4 Joseph S. Bryan, the Cleveland fam
lily physician, was at the luncheon.
The surprise was an enormous
birthday cake, bearing the proper
candles, which was presented to Mr..
Cleveland during the luncheon by
the management of the hotel.

blind piggers and gamblers entertain
i ed toward his brother Charles. On
the night of the shooting crowd en-
tered Prendergast's place looking foa
the proprietor Charles Prendergast,
but he was not there. Bert Prender-
CAST said that he was running the
place for his brother and the crowd
became abusive. Two of the men be-

they all filed cut to ind the other

Prendergast said that the crowd got a
bad beating. The Prendergasts and
their friends then repaired to the
blind pig, where little later anothS
er battle was fought. Prendergast

to help them.
In the pistol battle that followed

trouble is not over yet. He will re-
main here until his brother is out of
danger.

Engine on Northern Pacific
No. 8 Was DeraiIed at
500 Crossing
Fortunately No One Was
Hurt, But Train Delayed
Two Hours

Undoubtedly serious accident was
averted this morning by the fact that
train No. on the Northern Pacific,
came almost to full stop just as the
engine WIS derailed at the 500 cross
ing about two miles east of the city
1t seems that the 500 train had but
few minutes passed the signal tow
er, south bound. The towerman had
not as yet reset the derail, allowing
the N. P. tran the right of way, and
when the engine of that train struck
it it was of course derailed. The
front wheels were thrown from the
track about two or three inches, but
the passengers, of which there was
a large number aboard, the seven
coaches being well filled, were not
even Jared by the sudden accident.
After couple of hours work by
the section crew, assisted by the en-
| CINE hauling the city-bound train tc
Linton, which had subsequently pull
ed up, the engine was put on the
track again, and No. reached Bis
marck about $3.50 o'clock.
Soon after the accident all sorts Of
absurd rumors we're floating abou
the city to the effect that an awfu
calamity had happened and tina
many persons wer more or ISIS in

senger was frightfully mangled, los
ing both legs and an arm.

How Tea Lead Is Made.

Tea lead for lining tea chests is SUI
perior at least from the standpoint Of
cheapness to any other metal. Accord
ing to an article in the Brass World,
the method practiced by the Chinese in
the manufacture Of tea lead is to press
molten lead between two fiat stones.
The excess of lead is melted in an iron
kettle by a direct fire underneath. Rice
paper is carefully smoothed down over
the surface of the stones to supply q
nonconductor of heat and thus pre-
vent the chilling of the lead. The
stones are now placed fiat upon the
ground and the upper one raised a
short distance, with one edge restip"
upon the lower stone. In other worue,
the stones are opened like a book. A
ladle full of melted lead is now poured
in between the stones, and the top one
is quickly dropped. The lead is squeez-
ed out until only a thin layer is left.
Tea lead usually runs from .O05 to 10
inch in thickness.
