Standpat Leaders Meet Today in Des
Moines and Frame a PreIim-
mary Program.

Des Moines, Aug. "A meeting
was held here today by a number of
standpat leaders for the purpose, it
was said, of preparing a plank for
tomorrow republican convention en-
dorsing President Taft in no uncer-
tain terms as well as legislation
passed during the last session of con-
gress. Frank D. Jackson. president
of the Iowa Taft club, was chairman,
and c. M Junkin, Fairfield, secre-
tary. Others present were former
Congressman Lacey and Hepburn and
George d. Perkins, who was defeated
by Cummins for the republican gu
bernatorial nomination four years
ago. The purpose of introducing the

plank is said to be to draw the line
sharply between the progressives and
stalwarts. The progressives will have
enough delegates to defeat such a
plank in the convention.
Can Locate Friends.
The resolution committee is likely
to stand six progressives and five
stalwarts. The Taft plank, unless
the program changes before tomor-
row, will therefore probably come
before the convention embodied in a
minority report.
when the vote is counted on this
plank the White house will be able
to locate its friends, if nothing else
is accomplished, declared a conserv-
ative delegate. The standpat leaders
do not hesitate to state that any at
tempt at rough-riding by the pro-
gressives will mean democratic sue
cess in every close district in the
state next fall.
Cummins Temporary Chairman.
Cummins will be temporary chair
man and, it is stated, his speech will
contain no reference either to Taft or
Governor Carroll. 1t is intimated
Dolliver may be permanent chairman.
Crane-BaIIinger Meeting.
Beverly, Mass, Aug. 2.-No state
ment was forthcoming from official
quarters here today regarding the
meeting between Senator Crane and
Secretary Ballinger at Minneapolis
yesterday. There was no disposition,
however, to treat the meeting as "ac-
cidental" The statement was reiter-
ated that the president would not
lift his little finger" if by doing so
he could secure the retirement of
BaIlinger from the cabinet. 1t is
known Crane was sent on an impor-
t9nt mission for the resident to Sc
attic, but the meeting with Ballinger
at Minneapolis suggests a modifica-
tion of the original plans, and justi-
fies the announcement that Crane
might not go all the way to the
coast

the bill in question did not violate the
concordat, which recognizes only three
orders.

Preito Recites History.
San Sebastian, Spain, Aug. 2.-Preito,
the minister of foreign affairs, in an
interview today, in which he recited
the history of the negotiations between
Spain and the vatican, denied the holy
see had adopted a conciliatory atti-
tude.
He added: "The government asked
only two things. First, the suppress.
sion of converts and monasteries which
entered Spain Illegally; and, second,
that the pope should authorize the bish,
ops to suppress or transform establish
ments unnecessary to the aid of the
priests in their ministrations.
Year for TRANSFORMATION.
"The government offered a year for
the transformation which was desired
by the secular clergy, whose existence
is gravely compromised by the monks"
Preito declared the papal secretary
of state adopted dilatory tactics from
the first, alleging the speech from the
throne contained points against the
Catholic religion.
1--WE protested our good faith and de-
sire to reach an agreement" said the
minister. when we enforced the de-
cree of 1902. against which neither the
curia nor the episcopate protested,
Cardinal Merry del Val demanded that
the decree remain a dead letter, al
though the vatican since that date has
granted numerous authorizations with
out the sanction of the Spanish gov
ernment.
Demand InadmissabIe.
Finally the demand of the vatican
for the withdrawal of the bill per-
mitting non-Catholic organizations to
display their insignia of public wor-
ship was deemed inadmissable.
''The recall of our ambassador at
the vatican was in full accordance
with diplomatic usage when a power
with which another power is in rela-
ton refuses to admit the justified
pretentions of the latter or adopts an
arbitrary course"

The insurgent republicans are con-
fident they will elect three of their
congressional candidates and have
hopes of two more. The regulars, how
ever, do not concede any of their can

admit two may be in danger. In Okla

about the gubernatorial race, the vot-
ing on the proposed grandfather

Snunnlinn of Diamonds.

Diamond dealers in New York city,
as well as iewelry trade papers, agree
in saying that the smuggling of the
precious stones has increased greatly.
1t is professional, not amateur Snug
Cling. The professionals, it is stated,
are both more active and more sys-
tematic, and are said to be in collision
with certain dealers.
1t is said that customs inspectors
are investigating these reports. The
professional smuggling awakens re-
sentiment because the smuggled dia-
monds now are brought into the or
binary channels of trade and so are
likely to cause moe disturbance in
the business and in values than when
tourists brought in gems for their own
use.
Ludwig Nissen, an officer of the Dia-
mond Manufacturers association, said
some time ago that the value Of dia-
monds brought in surreptitiously was
probably as large as that Of these COM
ing openly through the custom house.

BEAUTY OF A NORWAY FORD
Abandon of Color Past Mortal Concep-
ton, Says Writer in the
Century.

The Naero Fjord is incredibly mar
row and deep. It's abrupt shores lay
in an abandon of color past mortal
conception. Sun-tipped peaks, like ice
bergs, rose sheer from fathomless
green water, their adjacent creVices
and rocky distance alike lost in vio-
let haze. AS the way broadened the
sun played lower upon the mountains,
and gulls circled with a dazzling glim-
mer of wing as they darted from the
shadow into the upper sunlight. Pur-
pie silhouettes of the western noun
tains lay upon the still-sunny cliffs to
eastward, but astern, through the
gateway of rock, the inner ford was
already hidden under veil Of wind
driven rain. Suddenly the sun burst
forth and such a wave of color en-
quilted us as made it seem that we
were ourselves in and a part Of the
sunset. Then over the glorif1ed world
once more came that strange twi-
light which is called night. Between
and beyond two peaks the color Of
amethyst, a vast, snowy summit
reared its head, and above it's dazzling
whiteness hung pale moon, the SYM

Thurber's "a Motor Invasion of Nor
way" in the Century.

The editor of the Racine Times,

appointment as postmaster of that city

he has been told by the congressman
that there would be no change. be-
cause Cooper was an insurgent and his
recommendation would not he re-
cognIzed by the president. Goodland
says he has been told by Senator La
Toilette that if Cooper recommended
him there was no reason to doubt
that he would be the next postmaster.
Looks as though the congressman was
using a cheap excuse to evade the
keeping of his promise.
