Washington, d. G. Nov. ~. - The
fourth of series of great conferences
that are steadily strengthening the
bonds between the republics OF the
western hemisphere is to be held In
Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic, be-
tween the 18th and goth Of next July,
and already the Argentine government
which is to be the host in this case,
has been doing much to prepare for
the meeting. The date originally ilx-
cd for the Fourth international Confer
ence of American States was May Goth
1910, but the fact that a great exposi-
ton was to be held in the same capital
III that month, which might over
shadow the importance Of the inter-
national conference, led to the post
ponement of the latter. Moreover the
month Of July. being in the middle
of the Argentine winter. is certain to
make the visit to Buenos Aires more
agreeable to the delegates from the
north.
The governing board Of the Bureau
Of American Republics already has dis
patched to every south central Am
erican capital tentative program of
the subjects to be considered by the
conference and the various foreign
offices have been at work upon this
with the purpose of submitting objec-
tions or suggesting amendments.
Much progress has been made and il

FIRE completely destroyed the public
school building at Amboy last night
ana only 1.-THE walls are remaining stand
ing today. The flames were first dis
covered at ten o'clock emerging from

o'clock that the fire was under CON
troll. With flames leaping in every di-
reetlon, coming from out of the grim
darkness and with the high wind blow
ing at the rate of several knots an
houf the scene was an appalling one

Building Cost $4,000.
The school structure was substan-
tial one, costing $4,000, with insurance
of $ll 00o and $500 on the interior

The school board have already been
quick to act as regards plans for ac-

church, for the eighth grade, the Metho-
dist church. sixth. and seventh grades
are to be taken care of in Odd Eel

board will purchase books from publish
ers and will loan them to the pupils. AS
to the origin Of the fire nothing definite
is known at present but flames were
first seen coming from the roof. The

satisfactory, a considerable amount hav-
ing been found remaining i'm the tank
after the fire had been extinguished.

HEW|NDYc|TY.
JOHN A. JOHNSON'S BOOM HAS
SURE REACHED CHICAGO.
One Sam Wood Is Carefully Nursing
the Infant AM Hopes to Have 1t
Survive all the Infantile Ills; Sug-
gests That Democratic Party Name
Be Changed to Constitutional; Bry-
an Is Quite Sore.

Chicago, April 27.-The boom of Gov
John A. Johnson of Minnesota for the
democratic nomination for president in
1912 arrived in Chicago yesterday in
the custody of Sam H. Wood of Min
neapOlis formerly of Evanston. Mr.
Wood thinks this is the psychological
moment for starting the johnson for
president" propaganda in Illinois.
According to some reports, the adj
vance agent for the Minnesotan has
been received with scant courtesy in
a few of the inner sanctums of Chi
cago democratic leaders and has been
told fatty that Illinois democrats will
not play presidential politics for many
months.
Another story is that the johnson
emissary has beer received with wide
open arms in Chicago by political in
terests which are delighted to have the
opportunity of taking up the John
son candidacy at this early day, look
ing forward to a smashing fight for
control of the party organization at
the primaries of next April and con-
sidering the Johnson talk as an ex-
cellent variety of campaign material.
William J. Bryan already has look
ed askance at the trouble which APP
pears to be brewing in Minnesota ac-
cording to Mr.. Wood, and has said
mean things about it in his Com
mOner.
The big feature at present of the
plans of the boosters of the Mime.
sofa executive is to hold a national
mass meeting of democrats at st. Paul
on the first Tuesday in next Septem.
Der.
The Vital Questions Put.
According to Mr.. Wood, who is at
the Great Northern hotel, the national
democracy faces three vital questions
at this moment-namely: Shall the
democratic party recognize? If so,
when and how! Shall the party name
be changed?
"To all sensible democrats" he saws.
the answer to the first question must
be, Yes, we need thorough reorgani-
cation of the entire party" To ques-
ton No. Mr.. Wood suggests that the
st. Paul mass meeting in September
will attend to that matter. and as to
question No. 3 he is not sure whether
or not it would be well to change the
name from democratic party to Con-
stitutional party.
The net result of the attempt to
bring up the presidential question in
Illinois democratic circles at this time
seems to be to give the johnson boom
decided chill so far as the heads
OF messes are concerned. They have
many other things to think about pol
itlcally without taking on presiden.
tial boom.
Frank Day and other members of the
Kitchen cabinet are making futile
attempt to repudiate the man Wood,
who appears to be the johnson presi
dental press agent.
