COMMITTEE TO SECURE
NAMES OF DELEGATES
Chamber of Commerce to Assist
Local Business
Men.

An important step was taken by the
conventions committee Of the Chamber of
Commerce at a meeting this afternoon
when a subcommittee was appointed to
obtain for the use Of Washington bust
ness men the names of every delegate
who is coming to attend a convention in
the National Capital.
Granville Hunt, chairman OF the COM
mittee. appointed the following subcom
mittee: John Dolph, r. p. Andrews and
NJ. A. Leese. Tney will communicate
with the national secretaries of al the
national organizations in this country
which hold conventions, and from them
VII obtain lists of subordinate organize
tons from which the conventions draw
their delegates. The committee will then
get into touch with those subordinate
organizations and learn the names OF
their delegates.
1t is believed that by this means
large amount of business may accrue to
Washington merchants and other bust
ness men. They will be furnished with
lists of all the men who are coming to
the conventions here.

4 week more in the probe as\to whether
or not the Mcnamara brothers O. E.
MECHANICAL and others had violated a
FEDERAL statute governing Interstate
transportation of explosives. That the
records are regarded as of great value
is indicated by the fact that the vault
in which they are kept is guarded by
day by deputy United States marshals

CIRCUMSTANTlAL EVIDENCE

Los ANGELES, Cal. November o.
When the Mcnamara murder trial opened
today the prosecution was prepared to
exercise its option of further examination
OF j. b. Sexton. a real estate dealer, and
a member of the city council.
sexton was accepted as to cause YES
terday by attorneys defending James B.
Mcnamara. The state took up examina

stantial evidence.
Prejudice against conviction on such
evidence alone in capital cases has

Jurors otherwise apparently acceptable,

PLAN TO AID FATHER
CAUSED GORMAN'S FALL
Election Law Designed to Dis
franchise Negroes Reacts
on Democrats.

BALTIMORE. Md. November 9.-In an
analysis of the election results in Mary
land the Sun today says:
Mr.. German would probably have won
had 1t not been for the unfortunate pres
ence on the ticket of progressive
democratic" candidate for judge of the
orphans court. William II. Bruno This
fact led great many decocrats--by some.
1t Is claimed. more than 3.Oto-to vote for
four candidates instead of three for this
court. their ballots being rejected under
the Interpretation of the law by the SUI
pervisiors of elections.
There Is a good deal of the irony of
tate about the loss suffered by Mr.. Cor
man and the other democratic candidates
for this.
Designed to Aid Father.
The law that made II pssible was
passed at the extra session OF the legisla-
ture of 1901 and was designed to aid in
the election OF Mr.. Gormans distinguish
ed father to the United States Senate
that same year. II now seems To have
been the means OF defeating his son for
the governorship.
I'm 1908 ex-Judge Martin Lehmayer,
then member OF the house OF delegates.
attempted to have corrected the provision
OF the law permitting n mistake for one
group of candidates to invalidate the en-
tire ballot. but this provision of his bill
was eliminated by the democratic man.
ager who feared II would make II easier
for the illiterate negro OF the counties to
vote properly.
Republican Strategy Won.
Another factor that contributed to the
success of Mr.. Goldsborough was the con-
centration by the republicans of all their
efforts upon the head OF their ticket. This
and their failure to nominate local candi-
dates in a number OF Wilson law counties
enabled them to poll practically the full
strength Of their negro vote and to get
that vote counted. This made Mr.. Poe
and Mr.. Harrington run ahead of Mr..
German in the Counties

GOOD RULES FOR THE GIRLS
Issued by the. Women's imperial

OF more than passing interest to
the women of this country are tho
following rules of conduct issued to
"the girls of Great Britain" by the
Women's Imperial Health Associa-
tion of Great Britain and Ireland.
The future Of our country is in
your hands.
Look your best by all means, but

to begin with, but the second pro-
duces the most lasting effect.
You must obey the laws Of hy-
giene, respecting fresh cir, exercise,
good food, cleanliness and suitable
clothing. A healthy girlhood is the
best foundation for a happy life.
You must know about cooking,
housekeeping and domestic economy.
You must learn about the feed
ing and care of children; this knowl-
edge does not come by instinct, az
many suppose.
Remember that home making is
the most dignifed and important
profession in the world.
Attend, if you can, Continuation
classes" in personal and domestic hy-
giene in your own house, remember
ing that a good daughter makes the
best wife.
Choose the best companions and
read the best books you can find. Ac-
cept only the best men as your hus-
bands, paying as much attention to
their character as to their personal

They also ask that the primary edu-

gatory; that young girls be admitted
to schools of medicine; to use means
to prevent polygamy and the abuse
of divorce and to teach Mohamme-
dan girls sewing, housekeeping and
hygiene.
