When the voting was about COM

IN out that the decision was for Ros-

ID the work. It was announced that
>y 75 TO 20 the convention would

,he officers Of the association with
Sthers went to work in the directors

yesterday afternoon and investigat.
cd the standing in the association OF
every member whose ballot had been
recorded. Under a provision In the
bylaws, which the Roswell men
pointed out, member TO vote must
have paid all his dues and assess
ments up to March before the cleo
ton. AS matter Of fact many OF
the members have neglected to pay
these amounts and the investigation
showed this neglect on the part OF
Roswell members almost as much as
on those who voted for Amarillo.
on this ground the ballots OF such
members as President Bugbee him
self. L. b. watkins, and others Of
equal prominence and undoubted
standing faiId to qualify as legal and
we're accordingly discarded. During
tho Investigation thIrty-one Amarillo
ballots we're thrown out and twenty
six Roswell ballots, leaving the final
vote fifty-four to forty-eight for Ros-
well.
During the election and to GER

SO sure OF the good time which she
had prepared for the cattlemen and
their friends next year and so re-
luctant to let the prospective guests
miss this hospitality was Roswell
that her delegation refused to take
the vote as the tellers announced It
at first yesterday, and after a care
iul yeriflcation OF every ballot which
took until late yesterday afternoon,
the officers announced that the votes
which remained showed a majority
Of six in favor OF the valley town.

Roswell wouldn't Lose.

Whether or not the big and busy
delegation which boosted for Roswell
during the three days OF the conven-
ton would have ever returned to
Roswell without the convention is
uncertain but the presumption is
that II the vote had been kept in ia
yor OF Amarillo the valley boosters
would have just stayed here till they
did get the convention this year or
some other year. Perhaps II the H.
nal vote had shown that Roswell
lacked ballots enough George
Slaughter and Secretary Graham and
DR.. George Veal and the others
would have admitted they we're beat
en- but the inference Is that they
would have played cards a while
longer and would have taken the
convention. Anyhow the valley
town has secured the next gathering
OF the association and even the most
ardent Amarillo member while still
reErettins that the big convention
will not be here next year, is more
than half glad OF the chance TO 60 to
the city among the groves next year
and to enjoy the hospitality that he
knows the Pecos valley people Will
dispense.

BODY HASN'T BEEN RECOVERED.
Remains of Martin Thomas Are still
Fast in Canals Quicksand.

Indiana Harbor. July IA SpeciaD-
The body of Martin Thomas, who was
drowned in the canal at Indiana Har-
Dor, has not yet been recovered, not
withstanding the efforts of the police
to raise it by dynamiting the stream
There was a crowd in the vicinity of
the spot where the man was drowned
all day yesterday. but all efforts to To-
cate the body were unavatling.
There are no currents in the water
of the harbor and so this Is not
thought to be the reason for the disap-
pearanee of the body. It has been sug-
gested that there might be quicksand
in the bottom of the canal and that
this could have encomposed the body
as soon at it touched the bottom.
The police have about given up hope
of recovering the body and it is
thought remarkable that it could have
disappeared so completely in such a
small place

WILL OPEN BIDS TO-DAY
Contract For South Chicago
Postofice Goes to Lowest
and Best Bidder

The bids for South Chicago's new
$50, 900 postoflce will be opened today
and the contract will be awarded to the
bidder who meets the governments
provisions.
The probable location will be at
Ninety-third street and Commercial
avenue although this is not known
definitely The location at this point
would prove an ideal one as it is in
close proximity to the Pennsylvania,
Lake Shore, Baltimore & Ohio and the
Rock Island roads. The majority of
the South Chicago mail comes in over
these roads and with the location of
the new Federal building, it would
mean a great saving Of time in trans
porting the mail to and from the depot
to the postof1ce.
According to information received
from the postofice officials at Wash
ington, the South Chicago Federal
building will be a model one and one
that will be envied BY other Illinois
cities.
Mr.. O'Sullivan, the local superintend-
emit is very enthusiastic over the
prospects of getting a new building
during the next year and viii do all
in his matter to rush the matter along.
The present office, which is located in
the Commercial block IS entirely in
adequate to cope with the exceedingly
large amount of work that comes I'M
der their supervision. The carriers are
compelled to put UP with cramped
quarters much to their disadvantage.

about 1916.
Prof. Hennerberg. director in a Ger

visited SO churches in Gothland, and
in little village called Sundre came

holes for pedals and manuals are
placed as in modern instruments, and
inside one can see the chamber for

the exterior is adorned with paintings
dating from about 1910
When this ancient instrument could
no longer serve its original purpose it
was used as a sacristy, and for the
safeguard of holy vessels and vest

hence its excellent preservation to our
