FULL TICKET
FOR HEARST
]. ]. Hopper Is Nominated
for Governor by the In
dependence League.
HEARST FOR LIEUT.. GOV.

New York, Oct. 6-Taking the bit
In their teeth, the delegates to the In.
dependence League state convention
at Cooper Union after a hot fight voted
to name a straight ticket.
John Jacob Hopper was placed in
nomination for governor and William
Randolph Hearst for lieutenant gov
ernor, but no vote was taken on their
names. 1t was decided to adjourn the
convention until Friday night. At
that time the delegates or as many OF
them as have remained in the city
will meet at the Park Avenue hotel to
nominate a ticket. By that time Mr..
Hearst will be home.
The resolution for a straight ticket
was passed by q vote of 212 to "a.
The rest of the ACT delegates did not
respond to their names, most Of them
being absent.
Matthew Boylan, alternate for Mr..
Hearst, voted for a straight ticket on
the understanding, he said, that Mr..
Hearst would support what the major
ity of the delegates favored in spite of
his personal feelings. Charles r.
Gehring, former county chairman,
also voted for the straight ticket.
1t was generally understood from
the start of the convention that Will
liam Randolph Hearst, who is on the
steamship Mauretania, strongly be-
lieved that it would be the wisest pol
icy to indorse Henry L. Stimson, the
Republican candidate for governor, and
a part If not all of the other candi-
dates named by the Republicans.
But there were some radicals In the
organization who stood out against 1t.
Wireless messages were sent to MIR.
Hearst informing him'of the situation,
but 1t could not be learned whether
any reply was received IL so 1t did
no good.

MAY DISMISS
THREE CADETS
Board Recommends that
They Bs Expelled for
'SiIencing' Capt. Lengan.
Is UP TO WASHINGTON

West Point, N. Y, Oct. 6.-The board
of inquiry appointed to investigate the
"silencing' of Captain Longan by the
corps of cadets has completed its
work, and if its findings are approved
by the secretary of war and the presi-
dent three cadets will be dismissed.
All of them are members of the first
slass, who would have been graduated
next June.
These men have conduct records that
! stand against them, and it IS partly
due to this fact that the board of In
quiry has recommended their dismissal
from the service.
1t is expected here that Captain
Longan will voluntarily ask to be as
signed to his regiment or some other
duty. Officers at the academy say
that his usefulness as q discipline Off
Ger has ceased since the cadets have
shown in the most forceful way al
their command that they have no re
spect for him.

the son Of al army officer Of high
rank. He has been in trouble several
times before.
The board of inquiry found great
difficulty in getting to the bottom OF
the trouble. The cadets, according te
their testimony, had felt for some
time that they had not been treated
fairly by Captain Longan. AS the list
of their grievances, real or imaginary
at the hands of this officer grew the
feeling against him became more and
more intense.

Margaret Knolly.

Slender Margaret Knolly, now, if
you please. The Fascinating leading
lady of the Bijou, no whore fascinat-
ing than ever, astonished all her
friends on Broadway the other day by
presenting to their adniring gaze a
svelt and willowy form In place of the
plump, not to say fat, outlines with
triumps and foreign shores last Janu-
airy. After a good deal of diplomatic
cross-examination from interested fat
acquaintance the secret was cautious
ly whispered to a few dear friends,
with the result that everybody knows
it now. 1t was not exercise, nor fast
ing, nor sea air. nor worry about her
this wonderful willowy change in the
charming Margaret; no, none of these;
nothing but a simple mixture which all
good druggists are familiar with and
can supply at small cost, to-wit: One
half ounce Mornnola, one-half ounce
Fluid Extract CascsEa Aromatic, and
three and one-half ounces Peppermint
Water. Grown folks need a teaspoon
full after meals and at bedtime" ex-
planned the now slender Margaret. TT
Is simply wonderful. 1t takes off the
fat quickly, as much as a pound a day,
and keeps it off. You can eat what
you like, too. In that respect 1t Is un-
like anything of the kind I eve heard
of and besides 1t has another splendid
feature-it Is entirely harmless, and
VIII not cause wrinkles. I think 1T is
the woman who is fat and wants to
get thinner as face powder. In order
to get the best results. however, you
should buy the Marmoia In the original
package and mix 1t In with the other
two ingredients after you get home

REPORT SAYS IDITAROD
RICHNESS WAS EXAGGERATED

Fairbanks, Alaska, June 1.-The
steamer White Seal, which wintered
in the Iditarod river, has arrived at
Fairbanks, being the first boat from
the new camp. She brought letters
from miners, who say that the reports
of the richness of the new diggings
are exaggerated. Pay has been found
in shallow ground on five creeks, but
only in spots.
According to the letters, the spring
cleanup will amount to only 100000,
and the camp will never be large. How
ever, vast area of country remains
to be prospected.
The fleet of steamers which went to
the Innoko and Iditarod last fall, dur
ing the first stampede, and which were
frozen in and obliged to pass the win
ter in the ice of the small rivers, have
started to return to Fairbanks. The
steamers have not been heard from
since June 1, and are now five days
overdue at Kaltag, on the Yukon.
1t is feared that the channel Of the
Iditarod has been blocked by the
stranding of a barge, and that the out.
bound steamers may be detained
throughout the season.

VICE PRESIDENT SAYS
INSURGENCY is DYING

Utica, N. Y, June 13.-'1 believe the
insurgent movement, so-called, is sub
siding" said Vice President Sherman,
who came to Utica Saturday to attend
the wedding of his niece.
1--WE do not notice the change SO
much in Washington, where the insur-
gents are still insurging, despite as
sertions that they are standing by the
president, but from my observations
on my recent Western trip, am con-
vinced the movement is on the wane.
81 rather expected to find in Wiscon-
sin a predominant feeling of insur-
gency, because most of the Republican
representatives from Wisconsin in con-
gress have been prominent in that
movement.
b II have twice before within few
weeks been in the Middle West and
have found the sentiment to be decid-
eddy in favor of a continuance of the
protective policy. The outcome in
Iowa where the primaries were held
Tuesday and where the regulars were
successful in every district in the state
where there was contest, save one
successful in choosing state commit
tee the majority of whom were regu-
lars-was strongly Indicative of con-
tinued belief in Republican policies.

ROOSEVELT PARTY
HOMEWARD BOUND

London, June 11.-Theodore RoOse-
velts visit to England just ended,
though coinciding with the period of
national mourning, and for that reason
shorn of much splendor that would
have accompanied it under happier
circumstances, was one of the most
noteworthy foreign visits paid to Great
Britain in recent years.
No foreign ruler could have aroused
more universal attention, received a
warmer welcome or achieved greater
popularity among every class of So
ciety. 1t is true that his structures on
Egyptian affairs occasioned political
resentment in some quarters, but he
left no rancor behind, because he was
regarded as a privileged guest, in
whom no unworthy or unfriendly mo-
tive could be suspected, and the frank
ness of his utterances is taken as a
measure of the strength of friendship
binding the two nations.
The death of King Edward cop1
PEELED the curtailment of public dem
onstrations and entertainments pro
jected in Mr.. Roosevelt's honor. Even
so, he was unable to accept half the
invitations showered upon him.
Mr.. Roosevelt and party sailed for

toria, leaving Southampton yesterday.

necessary, and Seattle cannot afford
to neglect the opportunity"

END OF SESSION
in SIGHT
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS NOW
FIGURING ON TIME OF
ADJOURNMENT.
With Agreement on Railroad Measure
in Sight Other Matters Are Expected
to BE Quickly Dispatched Probable
Disposition Of Other Important Mat
tiers.

Washington, June 13.C onferees Of
the administration railroad bill were in
session over six hours Sunday The
progress made indicates they probably
will report by Wednesday. In the ten
tative draft, the only questions remain
ing in serious dispute are those relat-
ing to long and short hauls and the
period increases in rates should be sus-
pended to give the interstate commerce
commission time to pass upon them.
With an agreement on the railroad
bill in sight, members of congress are
beginning to figure on adjournment.
Few members expect the session to
last longer than June 30, and not a
few have put their guesses as early as
June 25.
Few other matters of legislation are
expected to consume much time.
A canvass of the senate indicated q
decided sentiment in favor of adopting
the house amendments to the postal
savings bill. This course would avoid
a conference. The sundry civil bill
probably will be passed by the senate
today.
The bill to authorize the president to
withdraw public lands for conserva
ton purposes is the only conservation
measure slated to go through this SEES
sion.
To that will be added, it is expected
the bill that has already passed the
senate to issue certificates of indebted
ness to the amount of $3O,OOO,OOO tc
complete reclamation projects.
The opposition to the conversation
bill, based upon the statement by for
mer Forester Pinchot, that it would
authorize the filing of mineral claims
on certain water power sites, known te
be underlaid with minerals, apparently
has not been generally accepted as q
serious criticism. Advocates of the
bill assert few water power sites would
be affected, and in those cases it would
be necessary for the claimant to prove
the tract more valuable for minerals
than for development of power.
No decision has been reached on
statehood legislation, but is the i'm
preston that nothing will be done al
this session. Even if the bill reported
from the senate committee on terri
tories should pass, it differs so from
the house bill there would be slight
chance for agreement in conference.
The railroad bill, therefore, appears
to be the key to the adjournment sit
uation, just as it has been for nearly
four months.
