DODGEvILLE CASE TRIED.
Justice Little Imposes Small Fine and
Releases Prisoner

Tho case of Martin Oraschinan of
Dodgeville, charged with assault and
battery was tried yesterday in Justice
Iittles court and the prisoner releas-
ed upon the payment of Al small fine
and a promise to keep the peace in
The future. Ii is the opinion of Justice
Little that Oraschinan had no inten-
tion to use his ancient shooting piece
and that the excitement over the af-
fair was unwarranted.
1t appears that Martins boarding
house keeper wished to get rid of him
because he could not get along with
the other boarders. Martin refused to
move anu he was elected. but IL Is
said he turned around and fought the
boarding house keeper. The charge OF
assault and battery was entered by
the boarding house keeper and had no
bearing on the affair of the next
morning. Martin stated To the officers
that his fellow boarders had taken
"a dislike to him for some unknown
reason, and fearing they would attack
him with their fists he carried his rifle
with him for protection the next
morning. The BLACK hand" letter, IL
Is conjectured, was merely framed to
frighten them out of their plans to
give him a beating.

gress Here

Says II Occupies a Strong Position
in American Life and is An Ef-
fieacious Barrier Against
Subversive Elements.

Rome. Oct. 27.-The pope gave a
private audience today to Cardinal
Vannutelli, who recently returned
from his mission to America, where
he was papal legate TO the Eucharistic
congress at Montreal.
The Cardinal described the congress
as notably successful, and he also
dwelt with enthusiasm on the impress
sions he received in his subsequent
visits to the larger cities OF the Unit
ed States. He admired the astonish-
ing growth of the American nation,
which. he said, foretold a magnificent
future. He added that the Catholic
church at present occupied a promi-
nent position in American life, Cath

citizens and Jealous churchmen, and
so constituted a strong guarantee of
order and an efficacious Barrier
against subversive elements.

HEMANS TO CARRY
BUT TWOCOUNT|{S
STATE CHAIRMAN KNOX SAYS
CANVASS SHOWS oseoRN's
STRENGTH. .INoHAM is
CONCEDED.

Lansing. Mich, Oct 27.-After a
thorough examination of conditions I'm
counties which might be termed fight
ing ground in this campaign, Chair
man Knox of the republican state con-
tral committee says that a careful
canvass of the % counties carried by
lawton T, Hemans in 1908 has shown
that Mr.. Hemans cannot develop the
strength of two years ago and that he
VIII not carry a county in the state
outside of Ingham. his home county.
and possibly Livingston, which is
acknowledged to be very close. The
canvass also reveals that even in Ing
ham Mr.. Hemans will be much weaker
than he was two years ago. Then he
carried the county by 5,50S. A can
vass of the republicans of Ingham
township, n representative unit (the
democrats being conceded to Mr.. He
mans) showed 156 Osborn and Hemans
IA out of 10 voters asked for their
preference. This does not indicate
much of a cut and If the ratio were
followed out means that Mr.. Hemans
would not carry his county by more
than 500.
In Grand Rapids, one ward. which
went heavily MVsselman in the pri-
mary, was canvdssed. A total of 420
voters were asked to express them
selves with the following result: Os-
born 26S. Hemans az. doubtful so and
socialist and prohibitionist 20
Similar reports are made from the
various other counties The result
indicates plainly that the vote of 1908
was not so much a tribute TO Mr..
Hemans as it was a protest against
his opponent. That the situation this
time is far different is indicated clear
ly by the result of the primary. Mr..
Osborn carrying all of the counties
carried by Mr. Hemans in 1908 with
the exception of five and all of these
went to Mr.. Musselman with the ex-
ception of Ingham. the home county
Of Mr.. Kelley, which stood loyalty by
the lieutenant governor.
The strongest Osborn counties south
of the straits were strong Hemans
counties two years ago. In 1908 Mr..
Hemans carried Saginaw by 1859,
jackson by 5,6O3, washtenaw by 3,95S
and Hlllsdale by 2.012.
In the primary Mr.. Osborn carried
Saginaw by 2,160. Jackson by 1850,
washtenaw by $500. Hillsdale by All.
What is true of these counties is true
also of the following counties; Manis-
tee, Muskegon. Isabella, Gratiot. Clin-
ton. Shiawassee. Eaton. Barry. CAL
houn. Cass. st. Joseph, Branch and
Monroe.
The counties which Mr.. Hemans
carried two years ago and which were
not carried by Mr.. Osborn are Kent.
Ionia. Livingston. 1ngham and Kala-
mazoo. All except Ingham went TO
Mr.. Musseman. But the canvasses
made there, says Mr. Knox. all in
dicate that the party is now united on
Mr.. Osborn and that ne will carry
these counties with the exception of
the two mentioned earlier in the ar
ticle.

are in Toronto i'm readiness for the
opening tomorrow of the thirty
enth international convention of the
organization. 1t Is the first time i'm a
quarter of century that the inter-
national convention has met in Canada
and as a consequence the gathering
has aroused great interest throughout
the Dominion. During the tree days
session many important questions Of
policy will be discussed. reports show
ing the progress of the religious, edu-
catonal and other activities of the
association will be considered, and ad-
dresses will be delivered by a num-
Der of men of wide reputation.

to consider Industrial and immigration
problems. Hon. w. l.. Mackenzie

tentiOn from the convention this year.
Plans for broadening the educational
work of the association will also be
exhaustively discussed and the work
Of the junior department and of the
college and railroad branches will be
reviewed at length
A matter that is likely to incite n
lively discussion in the convention is
n resolution prepared by a number of
the Pacific coast associations asking
that the plan of governing the inter
national organization be changed so as
TO give the smaller associations a
voice in the management of affairs. 1t
Is claimed that under the present
method the control is vested I'm the
larger associations which have the
most delegates i'm the triennial con-
ventions. 1t is asked by the asso-
Citations of Seattle. Portland. Tacoma,
Vancouver, Victoria, San Francisco,
Spokane and other far Western cities
that the initiative and referendum be
substituted so that all associations
may have the privilege of voting on
important matters affecting the policy
of the organization.

tion as ii was last Sunday
Although the boat is badly broken
and twisted and the hull badly batter
ed, the wreckers are of the opinion
that the craft can be saved Capt.
Scagel of the tug whalen who was in
Portage lake yesterday expressed con-
fidence that il would be possible to
lighter the boat this fall and float it.
IL is estimated that IL will require
about 30 hours of uninterrupted work
"a unload the cargo of ore. About 5000
tons of the total cargo have already
been thrown i'm the lake and with good
weather better progress could be made
on the remainder of the load. Hope Of
floating the whole vessel has not yet
been abandoned, but IL this is found
impossible, her after part will be float
ed and taken to the stilling basin. just
outside of the breakwater at the Por-
tage canal. for the winter.
II IL is possible to float and save
the entire boat, the wrecking job will
he one OF the best that has ever been
accomplished in Lake Superior.

MAY SAVE THEIR BALLOON
Effort Will Be Made to Recover IL
From Wilderness. Aeronauts
Hold Worlds Record For
Balloon Travel.

Chitoutimi, Quebec, Oct. 27.--Alan
r. Hawley and Augustus Post, new
holders of the worlds balloon cham
pionship, showed little III effect today
from the thrilling experiences which
have been theirs since they left st.
Louis nine days ago in the America ii.
Tell our friends we are well and
very, very happy" was the message
they sent from their room. They
reached here at 10 o'clock last night
and retired shortly before midnight,
as soon after their arrival as they
could get away from the opportunities
OF the crowd of welcoming and con-
graduating citizens.
They had driven forty miles over a
rough country from ST. AMBROSE since
early afternoon and were tired to the
bone" as one of them expressed il.
Every one Of the nine days since they
had started had been spent arduously.
Four nights had been passed out of
doors with hard ground for a bed
and their army blankets for cover.
Their balloon America III is still at
Lake Du Banc De Sable. this being
the title of the township where they
landed.
1t is believed that Joseph Pednaud
and Joseph Simard. the trappers who
brought the balloonists in bark canoe
to ST. Ambrose, will go back and see
what can be done to get the big bag
from it's caiche on the mountain side
to the railroad here.
Hawley and Post landed about forty
six hours after their departure from
st. Louis. The balloon basket touched
earth at 1886 the afternoon of the
nineteenth They probably flew in all
1000 miles through the direct distance
between the two points on which the
international race is decided is only
1856 miles. This would make their
average rate of progress 35 miles an
hour.
ronauts will reach Quebec about
o'clock this evening
Will be Welcomed Home.
