Every Mention of the War Sec

pIauSe From Delegates.
REAL WORK OF THE
CONVENTION TOMORROW
Ticket Will Then Be Named
Governor Harris Will Be Re-
nominated to Lead Mighty
Host.

Columbus, o, March 3.-The Ohio
Republican convention met in this city
this afternoon for temporary organi-
zation, when Secretary of the Interior.
James X. Garfield, as temporary chair
man, delivered the keynote speech.
Secretary Garfield's speech warmly eu-
logizing the federal and state admins
tratiors and discussing a number OF
the leading issues of the day, was in
effect the Ohio nomination of Taft for
President. The opening proceedings
in fact amounted to a rousing Taft cell
ebration, every mention of the name OF
the secretary of war being greeted with
enthusiastic applause.
The opening addresses. the roll call
and the appointment of the necessary
committees occupied the initial ses-
sion. The real work of the conven-
tion will come tomorrow. In addition
10 naming the delegates at large TO
the Chicago convention, candidates
state officers from governor down. The
ticket to be nominated Will be the long
est that has gone before the voters of
Ohio in ten years.
In complete control of the state or
ganization the managers of the Taft
campaign confidently expect to die
tate every important action OF the con-
vention. Foraker will have little or
no voice in the convention proceed
Jugs, and Senator Dick. who has man
aged the Ohio campaigns for twelve
years. is slated for removal from the
state craftsmanship.
The Endorsement of Secretary Taft as
the presidential choice will go through
in a blaze of enthusiasm. The proba-
bilities now seem TO be that the Ohio
big four" TO the national convention
will be made up of Governor A. l.. Har-
ris, Ex-Governor Myron T. Herriek OF
Cleveland, Charles p. Taft of Cincin-
natl and A. /. Vorys, the active manag-
| er of the Taft campaign.
The only contests of the convention
will come over the nomination of can
| didates for several of the minor plac-
es on the state ticket. Governor Har-
ris will be renominated by acclamation
as will Carmi A. Thompson for secre-
! tary of state and Renick G. Dunlap for
state Dairy and Food commissioner.
| The nominations for lieutenant Cover
nor, attorney general, state auditor,
state treasurer. school commissioner
and member of the board of public
works will probably by closely con-
| tested. ~~--

insufficient Fire Protection
Responsible for the Com
pIete Loss of the Home of
Henry Noble in FairvieW.
LOSS WILL AMOUNT TO
ABOUT $1,000.
Scarcely Anything Was Res
cued From the Home
Trains Were Delayed for
Almost an Hour.

The home of Henry Noble. 1OS Cen
ter street, Fairview, burned to the
ground today as the result of a defec-
tive flue and poor fire protection in
that section of the city. The blaze was
not discovered until it had gained
great headway. Every effort was made
to save the household effects. but moth
ing was rescued from the flames eX-
cept a trunk which contained Il few ar
ticles of clothing and insurance papers
and green parrot, which gave vent to
an outburst of indignant and violent
language when it had been revived
from the effects of the smoke.
The blaze started on the roof of the
building. After it had gained good
headway, Mrs. Noble and her sister,
her husband, lived with the Nobbes,
discovered that the house was on fire.
They gave the alarm and the fire de
partment made a quick run. Mrs.
Noble and Mrs. Sutermeister made an
effort to get the household effects out
of the second story, but the smoke
there was so dense that their efforts
were fruitless. The flames rapidly
spread to all parts of the building,
making it impossible to get anything
out of the house.
There is no fire plug in tie north
west section of the city north of the
railroad tracks and it was only posi-
bic for the firemen to fight the blaze
by stretching a hose across the tracks.
All Panhandle trains were delayed on
this account for nearly an hour. Fire
men succeeded, fortunately in getting
Mr. Nobbe's trunk out of the building.
If this had not been accomplished his
house insurance and furniture insur-
ance papers would have been destroy
ed. AS it was they were slightly
charred. Mrs. Sutermeister in an eff.
fort to save some property received
painful. but not serious burns. In a
bureau drawer SO in greenbacks were
destroyed. Mr.. Sutermeister lost in
the ruins of the building a diamond
ring valued at $3.50. Mr.. Noble states
that he holds $500 insurance on his
house and furniture and that the loss
will amount TO about 81 300 Mr.. Su-
termeister places his loss at several
hundred dollars.

7 A RIFF RE VISION .
Republican Members Want
Treasury Department to
Gather Information.
CLAIMS OF BEVERl DGE.

Washington Ind. March 3.-The re
publican members of the ways and
means committee Of the house and the
finance committee of the senate are
considering the advisability of con-
gress's instructing the treasury de
partment to gather information that
may be used in the revision of the tar
iff 1t is proposed to have the treasu-
ry do what Senator Beveridge would
have a commission do. Chairman
Payne, of the ways and means com
mittee. has not yet consented to have
the treasury department gather the in
formation, but it was said today that a
majority of the republican members OF
the committee favor this program.
Senator Aldrich is understood to favor
the idea Senator Beveridge will con-
tinue to press for a commission, but
it will not be a surprise if the treasury
is commissioned to do the work he
would put on a commission.

Have Question of Granting a
Liquor License to Oscar
Williams Under Amusement
At Present.
JOHNSON MADE AN
ELOQUENT PLEA.
Local Attorney Made the
Speech of His Career Yes
terday Afternoon - Jessup
But of WitticiSms.

The hearing in the commissioners
court, in the case of Oscar Williams
of Cambridge City, who is an applicant
for a liquor license, was concluded
oratory on the part of Henry U. John
son, who represented the applicant,
and Prosecutor Jessup. After the ar
guments in the case had been conclud-
ed the commissioners took the matter
under advisement and have not yet
announced their decision.
Mr.. Johnson was in his happiest
mood while making his argument and
it was one of the wittiest and most
brilliant pleas he has ever made in
this county. He poked good natuTed
fun and sarcasm at the prosecutor and
Attorney Feemster, one of the remon-
stratOrs against the issuance of Ii
cense to Williams, and incidentally
took a fall out of the policy of the au-
thorities in their stringent enforce
ment of the liquor laws. Mr.. johnson
provoked laughter when he quoted the
statement of a local liquor dealer that
1T would soon be necessary for the
saloons to close on Jessup's birthday"
Mr.. johnson sarCastically remarked
that there had been a landslide OF
charges preferred against his client in
the remOnstrance, but that he had
been unable TO discover where the
state had succeeded in substantiating
any of these charges with the excep.
ton that Williams had violated a tech,
nical point of the Nicholson law in the
use of screens etc, in his bar room
and partiti0ning off a portion of the
room 70 be used as a card room. The
evidence introduced TO substantiate
the other charges, he said, was only
hearsay.
Prosecutor Jessup argued that the
state had made a perfect case. He
said that all the evidence introduced
by the state showed that Williams was
man who bore a bad reputation in
Cambridge City. He said that it was
easy enough TO introduce testimony to
show that man bore a good reputa.
ton but that it was extremely hard
to obtain witnesses who had the re.
quired nerve to testify that a man
bore a bad reputation He said that
the state had been able 10 produce
witnesses Of this character.
