posed to greet the rear admiral with a
commission as vice admiral of the
American navy. OF course, the success
of this undertaking depends upon con-
sress, but the president has done his
part in making proper recommends

to act upon the recommendation i'll sea-

of vice admiral for the few months
that will intervene between his arrival
at San Francisco and his retirement
from active service.
The naval argument in support of
the proposed re-establishment of the
grade of vice admiral is strongly re-en-
forced by comparison made at the
navy department between the British
home fleet engaged in the maneuvers
last fall and the splendid battleship
fleet commanded by Rear Admiral Ev-
ans. The British fleet is composed of

Washington. March 2.-Anerican
railways have made arrangements to
comply with the provisions of the
'nine-hour law" The operation of the
law will mean the employment by the
railroad companies of several thous-
and additional operators and the clos
ing of large number of small sta
tions on the principal systems. Dis
continuance Of railway service at
many points, 1t is thought, will induce
at least temporary inconvenience TO
the travelling and shipping public in
order TO reduce operating expenses,
which now seems neces ssary. The OPP
Grating officials of the railways be-
lieve that this is the only way that
they possibly can meet the situation
with which they are confronted
During the hearing of applications
for an extension of the nine-hour law
by the Interstate commerce commits
sion, some astonishing statements
were made by the operating officials
of important railways. A good many
lines, owing TO a reduction in their
revenues and to their inability to COM
payrolls, have been forced during the
past four months, almost to the point
| of asking for receivers. In the opin-
| ion of the railway officials, this condi-
ton does not seem to have been due
TO the enforcement of regulative laws
or to the incapacity of railway man
agement. Most of the railway officials
| attribute the difficulty TO the unfor-
| tunate banking situation which devel-
oped last September. The railways
did not feel the stringency in money
until about the first of November. In
fact, the month of October was one

| ness of American railroading

belief that the present industrial de-

VARIOUS CLUES HAVE
UNEARTHED NOTHING.
His Employer Is Greatly Wor-

Strange Disappearance -
Various Opinions Offered.

Jacob Butts young man who has
been employed at the city restaurant
for the past five years, has myster-
iously disappeared and despite every
effort of the police and his employer,
Guy Gotschall, no trace of the missing
young man has as yet been obtained.
The last seen of Butts he was stand
ing on the Main street bridge about
noon Saturday. People who knew him
spoke to him as he stood gazing into
the river but he appeared to be oblfv-
ious of their presence.
He is a strictly honest young man
and l have not the slightest idea what
caused him to disappear as though he
had been swallowed up by the earth. -

stated that Butts had weeks pay due

Some of the young mans friends be-

on account of ill health. Mr.. Gotschall
does not think that this is true and

imagined to be serious.

in which Paul Roy, a Frenchman now
here, is charged by his American wife,
Glacia Gala, with the murder of her
brother on January >. 1t is expected
some time must elapse before the ma
chinery of the French criminal courts
can be set in motion Oh the case.
The question of extradition of Roy
TO the United States is not involved,

tries, does not surrender citizen, but
tries such subject in the French courts
for crimes committed abroad.
The United States government, there
fore can only call the attention of the
French government to the crime, set.
ing forth the facts in connection there
with This will have to be carried on
through the regular diplomatic chan
nels at Washington. Even if the ca
BILE is used, the arrival of documents
must be awaited before judicial inqui-
ry can be opened here.
NO new feature of the case was un-
earthed today. The family of Paul
Roy appear confident that he will be
able to prove that he shot Carkins in
self defense in case the matter comes
to trial. 1t is explained that the trans
position of the name p. Emile Roy on
the marriage register i'll Boston, which
recites the union on October of last
year of Roy and Glacia Gala, was due
to the fact that Roy could not make the
clerk understand that Roy was pat
ronymical and not Christian name.
Detective Goron, who is acting rs
Roy's spokesman, refuses to disclose
the facts the family has obtained re-
garding Glacia Calais past life: neither
will he take any statements regarding
the woman known as the Baroness Won
Orendorff, with whom Glacia Gala
lived. He explains that the family,
although not recognizing the marriage,
has no desire to sully the reputation OF
the woman.
According to those who knew Glacia
Gala when she was in Paris, she did
not have entrance to exclusive socie-
ty. Although she was not considered
rich, she lived in a handsome apart
ment and was chaperoned by the So
called Baroness Won Orendorff, whom
she called her aunt. Her musical
studies were not interrupted by her So
cial pleasure. She had many admir-
ers. among whom was Paul Roy, and
toward the end of her stay he was rec
ognized as her favorite suitor. Goron
desires TO have it made clear that
when he first began his inquiries in
America at the request of the family
with the view of securing Paul Roy S
return to France neither he nor the
family knew that Roy had killed Car
kins. This fact developed first from
the interview that Goron's agent had
with Glacia Gala on February 4.

Nominated for Governor

Nominated by ACClamatiOn With

SeConding Speeches

The state republican convention in
st. Paul Tuesday was what "Mr. Doo-
ley" would call qualification meet.
ing." Jacobson was nominated fol-
governor by reclamation, Ed. Young
and Capt. Snider making seconding
speeches. Young Withdrew an hour
before the convention in order to get
out of the way OF Jake's steam roller,
and Snider followed suit. Hon. Frank
M. Eddy made the hit of the day in his
speech placing Jacobson's name before
the convention.
Eberhart was renominated for lieuten-
ant governor, Schmahl for secretary OF
state, and Dinehart for treasurer, all
by acclamation. Geo. T. Simpson was
nominated for attorney general by the
same process. Ira B. Mills and Geo.
F. Elmquist drew the plums for places
on the railroad and warehouse COM
mission, Mills being renominated.
There was lively tussle for these Of
fees, the only ones in the convention.
Ed. Young's speech created quite a
sensation and made some political
capital for him. Snider made a poor
impression by reading his speech.
Heatwole was called for but did not ap-
pear. Young and Snider escorted
Jacobson to the platform and when
they appeared the house went wild.
Jacobson spoke three minutes and was
very mild-mannered, fact that was
generally commented upon.
The Stearns county delegation had
good seats in the rear of the auditorium
and the chairman Hon. r. B. Brewer.
made several motions. Mr.. Eddy re-
ceived many congratulations on his
nominating speech.
Harmony with big "H" pervaded
the convention and the opinion was
general that the entire ticket will be
elected. Bob Dunn was the happiest
man in the crowd unless it was Jacob.

considerable gossip that the democrats
will nominate John Lind to run

pressed as to whether the Minneapolis
