Columbus, o., July 27.-The pro-
gressive tariff plank was voted down
early this morning by the committee
on resolutions of the republican state
convention which framed a platform
for the adoption of the convention to-
day. The recommendations of the
subcommittee, which completed the
first draft of the platform early this
morning. were not closely followed.
One of the planks which were
omitted was that which asked for
recall law applying to the state eN
ecutive and legislative officers. This
was feature of the Garfield platform
which was given out Monday night.
The platform as finally evolved by
the entiYS committee on resolutions
is practically a replica of the draft
which was shown to President Taft
at Beverly, Mass. by Senator Dick
and Wade II. Ellis state chairman.
The conservation plank. however, is
the one which was presented by the
Garfield men on the committee, and
the endorsement of the national ad-
ministration is a modification of sug-
gestions from both sides.
AS a whole. the platform is claimed
by the regulars as their own in spirit
and substance.
Congressman Howlaud, after CON
sidering the platform at length, said;
The progressives got 80 per cent
of what they wanted. | don't believe
Will present minority report to
the convention"
Upon their arrival at the conven-
'tion hall, Mr.. Garfield and Congress
man Rowland announced that they
were content so far as the platform
was concerned.
The preliminaries of the session
having been disposed OF, Senator Bur
ton took charge of the gavel as per-
manent chairman.
While Senator Burton was making
his address, the quiet announcement
was made that the name of James r.
Garfield would not be presented to
the convention. and that Carmi
Thompson, secretary of state, had
withdrawn his candidacy. This lat
ter information was given out by
George B. Cox. the chairman of the
Hamilton county delegation.
1t was forecasted that these moves
would mean a coalition of the Bur
Ellis-Dick-Ga wing of the
convention on Warren G. Harding.
former lieutenant governor, and the
solidifcation of the following of
Judge o. B. Brown of Dayton.
The platform was adopted with
scattering cries of MOI
Immediately there arose shouts of
Harding" and Brown"
Senator Burton started a call for
the candidates for governor. War
rem G. Harding and Judge Brown
were named.
On the third ballot George B. Cox
cast the 81 votes of Hamilton county
for Harding, and these won Harding
the nomination.
A. w. Treadway of Cleveland was
re-nominated for lieutenant governor
Granville w. Mooney was nominat-
ed for secretary of state, and Rudy
A. Archer for treasurer.

DENIES THAT He IS
WANTED FOR MURDER
I Special to The Sentinel. !

Glenwood Springs. Colo. July 81.
Denying that he is the man who
is being sought for the murder of
the marshal of Fairbury. Ill, which
crime was committed on the 5th day
of May this year. a young man. who
says his name is William Martin (and
not Ray Scriven, the murderer,) is
confined in the county jail at this
place, awaiting further information
from the Illinois authorities.
Martin Cor Scriven, as the case
may be,) recently came to New Cas-
tie, and had been spending the great
er part of his time doing nothing.
Monday morning he went to the
ranch of Dick Collins on Divide
creek, where, it is said. Collins, who
had seen a picture of the Illinois
murderer, became suspicious of the
young man. 1t is also claimed that
friend of the young man warned
him during the day that he was be-
ing watched, and that he had better
make his getaway. Heeding the
warning, he returned to New Castle
Monday evening, where he was ar
rested yesterday morning by City
Marshal Rennox. Later he was re-
leased; but so closely did he answer
the description of the man wanted
for the Illinois murder, that he was
again arrested yesterday afternoon
and brought to this city this morn
ing and placed in the county Jail.
The details of the murder for
which the prisoner is being held are
unknown here; but it is shown by
notices received by the sheriff that n
reward of $1,000 is offered for the
arrest of the puilty man
Reports sent out from Colorado
Springs July 6 said that Scriven was
seen in that city on that date. but
he evaded the officers there and was
said to be on his way to this county
He will be held here pending further
Information from Fairbury. III.

more Cooper is vindicated, and their
substantiation comes. as it should,
through the census bureau. 1t is
from far-away Alaska. but il is Of
fetal. This substatiation is found
in a report from Chief Census Agent
Mckenzie telling all about the TAX
ing of the census in the Fairbanks
district. Mr.. Mckenzie gives assur
ance that the Indians do measure
time by the SHOWS" and suns" and
distances by Sleeps" Indeed. he as
serts that hey have no other stand
ards OF time or of measurement; and,
in relating the fact, he cites an in
stance which throws no little light
on the difficulties of enumerating the
red men.
"Only the very young children
who have been educated in the gov
Crnment Schools" he says. have any
knowledge of their ages or births,
and the agents were instructed to
use the age and birth months as
nearly as talk and observation would
seem correct. Time with them is
computed on suns and SHOWS, and
distances by sleeps. Marriages, sep
arations. births and deaths are all
based upon such calculations; and
we were obliged to base our informa-
tion in the same way"
He then gives this instance:
An Indian buck claimed to have
lived 200 SHOWS. After much talk
and use of the sign language, it was
determined that he was about 80
years old. He was found to have
been 20 SHOWS old when he got his
first woman; to have kept her A

got more woman and keep her 5
SHOWS and she die; that he got no
woman for 20 SHOWS more and final
ly that he got young chicken and
keep her all time ever since, now. on
% or 80 snows.'
That there were other difficulties
in getting the facts regarding the
aborigines is indicated by the fol-
lowing from the report:
Many of the Indians know a suffi-
cient number of English words to do
business with white man; but.
when it was determined that they
were to be counted, they had a facul-
ty for closing their mouths and
knowing nothing until an interpreter
impressed upon them the fact that
the agent came from the Great White
Father at Washington.

ter of the people. he says:

and dirty, although in recent years

HERO Of HE'LL
GATE WORKED
HERE; NOW DEAD

Among the old-timers of Grand
junction who later acquired fame is
John Il. Clark who died at his home,
663 Logan street Denver, yesterday.
In the early eighties he ran an iron
foundry in this city and was well
known throughout the West. Prob
ably the great event of his life was
when he carried on his steamboat
every ounce of the 100000 pounds of
nitroglycerin with which Hell Gate
channel, in New York harbor, was
blasted out and deepened in 1876. He
came to Denver in 1879 and in
1888 established the iron foundry
which bears his name, at 1927 Usage
street. He also ran a foundry in
Grand Junction for while.
Mr.. Clark died after eight weeks
illness at his home. The cause was
kidney trouble.
He was born in Troy, n. Y, in
1S49. In his early manhood he was
captain of a steamboat on the Hudson
river running from Troy to New
York City While in this business
he was commissioned to carry the
nitroglycerin to New York with which
He'll Gate was blasted out. The
handling of so much explosive matter
in transportation was regarded as a
very dangerous feat, but Captain
Clark never met with a mishap. al
though he carried something like
100000 pounds of the stuff.
When he first came to Denver he
took to railroading and was a con-
ductor on the South Park line. In
1882 he was engaged by the Colorado
Iron Works and was buyer for that
company for several years. He first
established his own factory near the
Goulding stockyards. but it has been
moved twice since then.
The only relatives living in Den
yer are his widow, Sarah A. Clark.
and son, George Clark. The other
members Of the family live in Troy.
The funeral will be held Thursday.
