of New Hampshire as president pro
tempore to succeed Senator Frye Of
Maine. Mr.. FTye's recent resignation
was based on poor health. Today's

Martin, chairman of the Democratic
caucus, nominated Mr.. Bacon of Geor-

Prank B. Hayne, the we'll known
cotton bull leader, threw the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange into fever Of
excitement 20 minutes before the final
purchase the entire stock Of cotton in
New Orleans at 15.4S. Mr.. Hayne
jumped into the ring, pushed aside his
brokers and began crying his bids.
Five thousand bales of May at 49,"
he yelled. Il bid 46 for 1000 bales Of
May" Fifty thousand bales at 49,"
Pandemonium reigned for a few min
utes and the days of the great "Sully"
pool were recalled. Again and again
challenge to the bears. In the excite
ment traders appeared dazed and those
who a few minutes before were offer
ing to sell May around 15.40 were slow
to accept the increased prices. Finally
Mr.. Hayne yelled: Il will take the en-
tire stock of cotton in New Orleans at
15.4S." When the gong sounded 1t was
estimated that Mr.. Hayne had bought
perhaps five thousand bales. But his
sudden and startling move had the
bears guessing and May, along with
the other active months closed at the
advance. There are whispers here Of a
big corner in May cotton but those be-
lieved to be in the deal refuse to talk.
Chattanooga, May IL: The joint
commission on federation of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, the Methodist
Protestant and Methodist Episcopal
church, South, in session here to con-
slider the report Of the subcommittee
on plan of federation, is making pro-
gress slowly. Three joint sessions
have been held and the fourth con-
vened this morning. The first item of
the report suggested change of name
and recommended two names-Meth-
odist Episcopal church in America and
the Methodist church. This item was
passed over informally to be taken up
later on, but 1t seems that this has
been the fate of each item of recon-
mendation and not one beyond few
immaterial things have been adopted.
One important item on the definition
of the creeds brought forth lot Of
discussion when the old arguments
raised at the Birmingham conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, were revived, but the matter
was finally laid aside for further con-
sideration. 1t seems that no one OF
the commissioners is willing to become
an obstacle in the way of the propos-
ed federation and hence the belief that
the report in its present form with a
few minor amendments will be adopt
ed merely as a tentative plan and re-
m fha panarql conferences of
the churches for final disposition.
Great Falls, Montana, May 10: A
trap laid by Harfeld G. Conrad, one
Of the wealthiest men in the state, and
his brother, in which they hoped to
catch the men who last year stole the
body of Harfield's year-old son from
it's grave in a cemetery here, resulted
last night in the killing by the Con-
RAIDS of Joseph Hamilton, former sher-
if of Cascade county, friend who
was assisting the brothers in their
plan to capture the grave robbers.
Recently Conrad was notified his
child's body would be returned to him
if $1,000 was left beside a lantern he
would find burning at a lonely spot
on the Fort Benton road. Making up
a dummy" package, the Conrads
proceeded to the place in an auto
mobile. Hamilton was to follow on
horseback and take the grave robbers
by surprise. Coming to point where
a light was burning some distance
from the road, they dropped their
package of money and proceeded on
their way. About mile farther on
they found the lantern burning by the
roadside and realized they had made
a mistake. Returning to get the pack
age again, they saw STOPPING over it
the figure Of a man, who Strengthened
", fhpV
preached. Both Conrads opened fire,
the man dropping at the first shot. In
vestigation disclosed the fact that they
had killed their friend Hamilton.
The reports Of Monday from Jua-
rez Mexico, to the effect that MaderO
had accepted the proclamation of
President Diaz in good faith and had
declined to press the attack on JuareZ,
was a mistake. Dispatches of We'd
nesday and Thursday brought news
that the attack was pushed with Vigor
and after hot fighting General Navar-
70, in command of the government
troops. finally surrendered. A des-
patch of Wednesday night described
the situation as we'll as it could be
summarized there at that time as fol-
lows: This little bullet-riddled city to-
night is the provisional capital of
Mexico, and Francisco l. Madero, Jr.,
provisional president, and his staff
have taken possession after winning
the bloodieSt battle of the Mexican
revolution. In a corner Of the bar
racks in which for two days he held
out against the fire Of the rebels sits
General Juan ]. Navarro, the federal
commander a captive, having surren-
dered today with almost his entire
garrison of several hundred men. His
face is sunken; his head is bowed; and
he does not talk, for the bitter sting
of defeat has disheartened him. In
contrast, in another part of the town
is Francisco 1. Madero, Jr., the con-
queror, surrounded by members of
his family and staff, joyous, eXultant
and flushed with victory; yet ready he
says. 10 make peace with the Mexican
government if it is disposed to deal
frankly and sincerely with the revolu-
tionists and without such vague prom
ises as president DiaZ's manifesto
contains" In hotel lobbies, store
fronts and Railways, the improvised
