Funeral services will be held this

W. B. Flowers of Meadville was

of the committee are all workers

the ticket. But a better reason
why they should all be elected is
that they are all men worthy in
every way of the various offices to
which they are asking to be elected.

tary at the same place will help
materially in carrying on the work

Inside History of the Crane In.
cident.

49, - Wv 01AA
airy American Magazine, there is
an article on the "Crane incl
dent, which is so ably and in
tereStingly written that the fol
lowing excerpts from it are here
quoted;
Il suppose everybody remem-
bers Mr.. Cranes appointment last
spring, how the Chinese post was
vacant, and how when Mr.. Crane
was suggested, the administration
and everybody else who knew
said, Just the thing. Why did
no one think of it before2'
In October Mr.. Crane went
to San Francisco to sail. In the
weeks Immediately preceding his
departure he had been having a
puzzling experience. Although
assigned to one of the most crit
cal posts in the present world, Mr.
Crane had never been allowed
one hour of counsel or given one
line of instruction from the See
rotary of State or his assistants,
although he had repeatedly
sought counsel and instruction.
When he demurred about going
unequipped, he was told over the
telephone that if the department
had any suggestions they would
be sent to San Francisco. They
were. Two days before Mr.. Crane
was to sail he received a telegram
from the Honorable the Secre-
tary of State, MIR. Knox, saying
that Mr.. Crane had by an indis-
Greet interview placed the State
Department in a most embarrass-
ing position; that he must return
TO Washington and explain. Mr..
Taft was in California at the mo-
ment, and Mr.. Crane breakfasted
with him, and when he pushed
the President to explain how he
had embarrassed the government,
Mr.. Taft admitted he didn't
know hat there was any embar-
rasSment! Across the continent
enroute to Washington reporters
invaded the train at every sta
ton, fully one hundred in all, anG
not one of them could give Mr..
Crane any hint of where or when
or how he had embarrassed the
government. Finally Mr.. Crane
reached Washington, saw Mr.
: Knox and received an explana-
ton. 1t was too flimsy to be con
sidered. The interview of which
Mr.. Knox complained contained
nothing which had not been in
the newspapers weeks before, as
Mr.. Crane at once showed. More
! over, when finally Mr.. Knox
/: made known the specific inter
! view which he claimed had EN-.
. barrassed the State Department
! the two embassies interested

so clumsy. Diplomats may lie,

State did in the Crane affair.
but why should he have don
such a thing? Evidently som
