SMALL BAIL ASKED
In Case of Burlington Boy Who Sent
Threatening Letter

Burlington, May 13.-William Lee
Clair who was arrested Wednesday

ing letters to Abbie Matthews, was
before Clerk r. W. Taft the next day
and admitted to 800 bail, which was

was continued until Saturday. Let
ters in the possession of Chief Russell
tend to show that LeClair was labor
ing under something of mental
strain when he wrote the threatening
letters to Miss Matthews, caused by
her alleged indifference to his atten-
tons
The young man sent Miss Matthews
letter stating that he was not in
earnest when he threatened her.

the winds and waves all night, were
found and brought to safety.
The Silver Spray left Cleveland
yesterday, and tried to return when
the gale gained force For three
hours the tug burned distress lights,
and lifeboats vainly tried to rescue
the doomed men. At 1880 the tug
was caught on the crest of huge
wave and dashed upon the break
water. Lifeboats were unable to find
any trace of the crew or of the
wreckage.
A piece of wreckage was found
this AFTERNOON on which Captain
Purdy had written to his wife:

NEBRASKA ENDORSES TAFT.

President Taft was endorsed by the
Nebraska state Republican convention
yesterday, the LaFollette insurgents
failing miserably in their attempt To
prevent the adoption Of such resulu-
ton. Taft sentiment was uppermost,
the supporters Of the president. ruling
the convention from the start. When
the platform resolution finally was
presented the insurgents, despite their
early announcement that they would
not assent 10 Taft endorsement on
any conditions. failed to make a fight
or even an objection. The resolution
went through with whuop by a rising
vote, during which several insurgents
were discovered on their feet. The
outcome is significant 1t marks the
beginning OF the end Of the LaFollettc
presidential boom in the west, and
shows Taft to be strongly entrenched
in ," so-caued insurgent territory.
It was the first state Republican con-
vention TO be held in the west this
year and as such, good indication
of the trend OF sentiment in the G. O.

A THRIVING INDUSTRY.

The statement now made, that the
sugar beet production Of Michigan this
year will show a marked increase over
previous records and will possibly be
in excess of the capacity OF the fac
tories. is one that could have been
predicted from recent data. 1t is not at
all remTrRabie TINT runners are turn
ing their attention TO this crop when
IL is remembered that the sum Of eight
million dollars was paid to beet grow
ers last year and that the amount has
increased from five millions of only a
year or two ago. Such total of ready
cash is an infallible stimulus to any
industry. and the attractiveness Of it's
influence is peculiarly felt In farming
which does not always turn its results
into money as readily, comments the
Detroit Free Press.
The beet sugar industry is rapidly
taking a leading place in national af-
fairs. Last year the records show that
the United States received more sugar
from this source than from any other
single field Of supply of this article
The cane sugar contribution made by
the continental area OF the nation fell
nearly 3OOOOO,OOO pounds short Of the
home grown beet sugar total, and
neither Porto Rico nor the Philippines
approached It. IIawii did yield a
slightly larger aggregate with its cane
product but no other rivaled the
fields of the beet farmers. In the
world at large beet sugar Is now
supplying almost one-halr the entire
demand for all sugar, and when the
United states developes its portion Of
its maximum possibilities the ratio be-
tween the two sources. beet and cane.
