AFTER INDIANA
Hitchcock VIII Garry the War Into
Indiana,

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 5.-Follow-
ing out his policy of consulting with
Republican leaders of former cam
paigns whenever the opportunity Of
fers, Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock,
of the Republican national commit
tee, arrived here at 5 p. m. for a con-
ference with Vice President Fair
banks. He spent about an hour at
Mr.. Fairbanks home and then started
for Detroit, where he will take the
boat tomorrow morning for Middle
Bass island, for a conference with
Mr.. Taft.
There were a large number of sub
jects considered between Mr.. Hitch
cock and Mr.. Fairbanks, but the chief
question discussed was the tour of
the country which the vice president
fss to. make under the auspices of the
national committee. 1t is expected
that the vice presidents speaking
trip will cover practically all of the
country and especially will be used
in the territory where he made adj
dresses during the campaign four
years ago.
The directors of the speaking
bureau of the national committee are
considering the question of sending a
number OF prominent speakers with
Mr.. Fairbanks and giving them spe-
cial train or car for an extended tour,
If made the trip will begin soon aft
er October 1.

Chattanooga, Tenn, bringing pack

needy person would be the loser of his

this money induced Mrs. Gulliford aud
her brother to make public last night
the fact that they had found It. Mrs.
Gulliford and her brother told a
strange story. They said the Journey
of 200 miles was made because of the
promptings of little child named
Martha" who is known only in the

child, Mrs. Gulliford says, guided her

FIRES

Unless Rain Is Forthcoming
Damage Will be Heavy
Farms Endangered

Houghton. Mich. Sept. 5.-The
forest fires which have been raging in
Houghton county during the past few
days, sprang up afresh during the
night and this morning, Houghton
and the entire Portage lake district
was enveloped in a dense pail OF
smoke, occasioning much alarm. An
investigation showed there were nc
fires within eight miles OF the town tc
the east, but south of here the woods
are burning within three or four
miles OF the habitations. Millions OF
feet of timber have been burned and
many farms are in danger of being
wiped out. The losses caused by the
forest fires in the upper peninsula
this year are the heavies: on record
Rain is badly needed and unless 1t is
Forthcoming shortly vast area is

ened much damage unless 1t is soon
checked. A dozen forest fires have
been started within the past week
most of them by carelessness. The
underbrush is SO dry that the flames
spread with remarkable rapidity and
the closest watch is being kept on the

CONFESSION BAD
Gordon's Story Of Lapse Of Memory
Proves Defective.

Boston. Sept 5.-The belief ex-
pressed by the medical examiners,
after their autopsy on the dismen,-
bered body of Mrs. Honorah 90 dian
yesterday, that she was struck upon
the head with some blunt instrument
before being cut by her husband. Ches-
ter S. Gordan. has been apparently
corroborated with the finding in the
closet of their home in Somervil,e of
a flatiron which was covered with
blood and to which clung a quantity
of hair. The finding of the blood COW
cred f1atiron tends to discredit por-
ton of the confession of Gordan. who
stated that the only blows which he
dealt his wife after her taunt We're
by his fist and following which he re-
membered nothing. This discrepancy
has led the police to believe that the
other portions Of his story may be
equally wrong.

The distance covered by Wright was

in Honor of TOlstOi.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 5.-The holy
synod has addressed an appeal to all
believers not to participate in the
celebration next Wednesday in honor
of Count Leo Tolstoi's eightieth BIRTH
day on the ground that honor render
ed an opponent of the church would
be stumbling block to youth and per-
sons of weak faith.
Ehe encyclical is marked for its Bit
ter language.
"Tolstoi denied the Saviour and
backslid from the church." it says,
since 1901 he has ranked among the
pagans. Believers must abstain in
honoring such man in order to save
their souls from the judgment Of
God" The encyclical will be read and
preached from all pulpits.
A dispatch from ST. Petersburg
last month said that the government
strongly disapproved the proposed
celebrations in honor of Tolstoi's
birthday and that some OF the author
tiles were bringing pressure to bear
to check them.
