dependent democrats of Tennessee
today endorsed the candidacy OF cap
tain Ben w, Hooper, republican nom
inee for governor and further cut
loose from the regular democratic
wing by referring the latters har-
mony resolution To The new independ-
cnt state executive committee with
out discussion
The possible break ia the solid
south outlined in todays convention,
extends only to one office, the gov
ernorship. There Is "gentleman's
agreement btween the Independents
and the republicans that neither
party viii invade the other safe legis-
lativo territory and this, the inde-
pendents say, assures a democratic
legislature The last republican gov
ernor in Tennessee was Alvin Hawk
inc in lSS1-2.
The pardon to Senator Carmack +
slayer was denounced repeatedly by
the speakers and each announcement
was received with shouts OF applause.
The convention ended with Captain
Hooper's address
Speaking OF the combination of
republicans and independent demo-
Gratis, Captain Hooper said
while this sequence of events Is
unprecedented in Tennessee. 1t con-
tlins no deep and hidden name. We
have witnessed IN this state for the
last four years the assembling az the
vicious and criminal elements of all

OF an INSCRIPTIONS organization, an
intensified imitation of the Tammany
democracy of New York ant the re-

The latest type Of Count zeppelin's

A score of men were engaged in
the task of housing the snip when
a benzine tank in the rear gondola
exploded. setting fire to an adjacent

this compartment was followed by
the explosion of the sixteen others
There was a gush of flames and the

The shed also caught fire but the

the investigation. The Indictment
was locked up in a vault In the office
OF the United states district court to
await such time as the federal law
yers felt they had sufficient evidence
TO warrant the arrest of Fitzgerald.
The fact that secret service men
searched Fitzgerald's offices and his
residence Immediately following his
arrest leads to the belief that he did
something today which hastened his
arrest. though the United states
district attorney refused to say what
prompted the arrest.
The sub-ueasurv robbery, which
has been one of the most battling
mysteries in years which the secret
service has been required To investi-
gate, occurred Wednesday, February
%, 1907 The money was all in
$1,000 and $4,000 bills Federal Of
fieers throughout the country were
brought into the hunt for the missing
money For three years all persons
round to have $1,000 and $4,000
bills were subject to open or covert
scrutiny by secret service agents.
The sl73,000 disappeared from
Fitzgerald's cage in the sub-treasury
Fitzgerald said he had gone out to
lunch and that when he returned the
money was gone He was closely
questioned ut the time and was shad-
owed for months. A year after the
robbery occurred, Fitzgerald WAS ar
rested by q private detective agency
acting for William Boldenweck. the
sub-treasurer. The charge was not
pressed at this time, however. and
Fitzgerald proceeded to institute
damage suits against Doldenwcok and
the detective agency for alleged false
arrest
From that time until his indictment
last February Fitzgerald was not mo-
Tested When asked how he had ac-
cumulated certain sums Of money, he
explained that he had made the
money in speculation and showed
records of certain deals in which he
engaged.
Mr. Boldenweck, who Is to be sue
oeedcd by Len Small of Kankakee,
HIS, as assistant treasurer In charge
OF the Chicago treasury. sent his res
ignation to President Taft on sep
tember s. None of the government
officials would say whether today's
action was in any way affected by
Boldenweck's retirement.
The robbery of the Chicago sub-
treasury stands as one OF the largest
as well aS most adroitly executed
thefts in the history Of the treasury
department.
The archives of the department
record a mysterious cmhe2slcment OF
100000 from the New orleans sub
treasury during the Civil war
The vaults in the department at
Washington were riflcd of S72, 600 in
1872 by u trusted employe who WAS
caught and convicted. A few years
later the receiving vaults of the same
institution were robbed Of package
OF bills by clerk lie also WAS tried
and convicted
In October 1907 the sub-treasury
in ST. Louis was robbed OF t6i, 500.

stratagem of breaking the quorum.
Senator Root arrived in New York
on the sixth OF this month. The com
mittee did not meet until the ninth to
pass on the Ballinger reports. Had he
desired lie could easily have been In
Minneapolis. Senator Flint stated pos
itvely that he would not be present.
Representative Olmstead was In Maine
making republican speeches which he
thought more important than attend

plead, however, in mitigation of his
absence to the minority, the result of
the Maine election. Representatives
DENLY was absent attempting to de-
feat an insurgent FOR the senate in
which he was likewise unsuccessful.
