some flood water and are bound to
get more this week; approximately
100, 900 people in that territory have

concern for the present. Millions OF

Made Nearly Clean Sweep But Taft
Men VIII Contest

Austin, Tex, May 6.-Returns
from the precinct primaries held on
Saturday, indicate that Roosevelt
made nearly a clean sweep in Texas
and will have all or nearly all of the
40 votes from Texas in the Chicago
convention. Governor Wilson leads
on the Democratic side and appears
to have carried the state.
The early returns Saturday night
and Sunday were favorable to Taft
but as the figures from the country
began to come in, 1t was clear that
Roosevelt had a strong lead.
The Taft leaders, however, Will
send contesting delegations to the
county conventions and attempt to
wrest control. In many counties the
vote was close and the Taft leaders
declare that it will result in sending
contesting delegation to Chicago.
In Texas the precinct primaries
elect delegates to the county conyen-
tons which will be held next Satur-
day and the county conventions Will
elect delegates to the state conven-
ton, which will take place May 2S.

Martha Rayhow Of Philadelphia ana
his father, Stacy Jones, Nj. d., OF the

who was the author OF NUMBER Oh
valuable medical works.
The son early in life decided to tol-
low the profession Of his father, put
during the course of his education,
i'll health interviewed and forced him
TO seek a milder climate. He moved
to Old Mexico and was engaged for
a time in cattle and sheep ranchlng
in Western Texas. In 1889 he re-
turned 10 New England and located
in Dighton Mass, where he married
Ida. daughter of d. NJ Garfield and
took I'D the life he loved so well. A
few years later he bought a large
plantation near Richmond, Va. AT
the time he disposed of this property
he had charge of an adjoining plan
tation owned by II. Swineford, Tor
whom he made number of trips in
to the southwest, for the purpose OF
stocking the plantation with sheep
and goats.
Ever since the edict of his physic-
ian had forced him to abandon a pro
fession for an outdoor life, he had
always possessed preference for
New England, and leaving Virginia,
he purchased one of the choice farms
of the Berkshire section at Tyring-
ham. Mass He had made consider

to seek another field. He again be

tuted improvements, especially in th'
line OF drives and shrubbery.
No section OF the country, however
had such a fascination for him al

The enthusiasm Of the man for hi
work was remarkable and during tn
time that he had been in charge o
| the estate. many improvements wer
made and q system was instituted
out Of which much more in the wa
of development would have resulte
had he lived. He was a loyal frien
