STREETS HURT
BY MOVING The
SEWER DIGGER

The large sewer digger belonging
to George Gordon has been moved from
near the Southern Pacific depot to
North Salem, where 1t is to be used in
connection with some sewer contracts
there. 1t was taken over the paved
streets, going north on Capitol street,
where a good deal of damage was done
to the pavement on account of its
weight. In places the wheels sunk
into the pavement sevreal inches,
which could have been prevented by
the use of planking under them. Wal
ter Shelton, city engineer, notified the
contractors foreman not to run the
digger over the pavement unless plank
ing was used, and in defiance of this
no planking was used. A great deal
of damage was done the pavement
which the contractor will have to
make good. 1t would seem much bet
ter to have placed the planks as d.
rected by the city engineer, as by do
ing so no damage would have been
done the pavement.

Will RESTRAIN THE
ROUGH ELEMENT
Presence Of Warships at Ha-
Vana Has Good Effect.

Washington, June 1.-THE presence
OF American warships in Havana har-
Dor may be regarded as greatly dimin-
ishing the likelihood of intervention
in Cuba, according to the construction
placed upon that fact by the admins
tration. 1t is felt that the presence
OF h two warships will restrain the
restless and excitable element of Ha-
vana.
Secretary Knox, through Orostes
Ferrara, speaker of the Cuban house
Of representatives, renewed the assur-
ance that Intervention is not contem-
plated.
This was only preliminary, however,
for other matters almost as important
as the military problem were dis
cussed by the two officials. Although
the subject was not preached in con-
ference it generally is understood that
the Cuban finances soon must figure
again in formal negotiations between
the two countries. Under the treaty
which governs their relations Cuba is
not permitted to negotiate foreign
loans beyond her ability to meet and
it is for the United States to deter
mine that question. 1t is understood
that at present the total amount of
the foreign obligations of Cuba exceed
$4,000, 900, the interest on which is
sufficient to cause a serious strain on
the Of the country.

Iowa Family Of Six and Two
Guests Slain With Axe.
OFFICIALS USE BL0ODHOUNDS
Police So Far Unable to Find Any
Trace of the Slayer or the Slight
est Clue to His Identity.

Villisca, Ia, June 11.-Thirty hours
after the murder of the entire family
OF Joseph B. Moore and two young
women guests, eight in all, which oc-
Cured Sunday night, the authorities
have been unable to procure a single
trace of the slayer and have little or
no clue to his identity. 1t is apparent
he had a key to a door to the Moore
home, as all doors and windows were
found locked.
A revised list of the victims fol-
lows: Joseph B. Moore, Mrs. Joseph
B. Moore, Herman Moore, aged elev-
en-; Katherine Moore, aged nine; Boyd
Moore, aged seven; Paul Moore, aged
six. The last four were children of
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore. Lena Stillings,
aged fifteen; Ina Stillings, aged nine.
The Misses Stillings were guests at
the Moore home.
The first knowledge of the crime
was procured when a clerk in the i'm
plement house of Mr.. Moore went to
the Moore home to ascertain the cause
of Mr.. Moore's delay in reaching his
place of business. Finding the house
locked, the window shades all down
and no n about he notified the neigh
bors and with assistance forced an en-
trance to the house.
The victims, with one exception,
were in their beds in natural positions.
A bloody axe, obviously the implement
used by the slayer, was found in an
upstairs room.
One puzzling feature of the crime,
which serves to heighten the mystery
surrounding it, is the apparent DELHI
GRAFTON of the murder. All indica-
lions are that he entered the house by
the front door with a key and that
he left by the same way and locked
the door behind him. Dust upon the
stills of the two windows left unlocked
shows he did not enter that way.

COLONEL STILL OPTIMISTIC
Says "the Committee Can't Get Away

Says "the Committee Can't Get Away

Oyster Bay, N. Y, June Ill told
Senator Dixon and the other Roose-
welt leaders in Chicago that 1 did not
wish them to support any of the con-
tested Roosevelt delegates except
where it was such a clear case that
they would support them if they were
Taft delegates"
Colonel Roosevelt stated his posi-
ton in regard to the contests before
the Republican national committee in
these words.
The contest before the committee
over the California delegation, Colonel
Roosevelt said, could hardly be de.
cided against him, as he believed that
the position of the Roosevelt delegates
was plainly in the right, since he had
carried the state by about 10000 ma
jority. The national committee, he
said, might, of course, rule against the
delegates on a technicality.
But they can't get away with the
swag," he added.

The practice among brewing com.

Committee Decides Indiana Con.
tests Against Roosevelt
TOTAL GAIN OF E|GH1Y.FOUR
With the POI Instructed and Uncon.
tested Delegates Taft Now Has
a Total of 285.

Chicago, June 1.-THE work of the
twelve more delegates to the cata-
logue of the Taft strength on the tenn
porary roll of the Republican nation
al convention.
The much discussed Indiana con-
tests came before the committee and
all were decided in Taft's favor.
With the seventy-two delegates pro-
cured in the Southern contests decid-
ed last week in the Alabama, Arkan-
sas, Florida and Georgia cases the
gains make a total of eighty-four dele
gates added to the Taft forces by the
work of the national committee. With
the POL instructed and uncontested
delegates accredited to him they bring
his total on the temporary roll up to
285, not counting other contests like
ly to be decided for him.
A large proportion of the contested
seats among the ITO cases still to be
passed on by the committee represents
delegates instructed for Taft. The
precise number is the subject of much
dispute, nor can it be stated how
many of these contests Taft will win.
The cases decided were those of the
Indiana delegation at large, four in
number, headed by Colonel Harry S.
New, chairman of the convention
committee of arrangements, and in
Guiding former Vice President Charles
w. Fairbanks, and the district delega-
ton of two each from the First, Third
and Thirteenth districts.
Attempts of the Roosevelt attorneys
to introduce certain afidavits, de-
clared by them to bear the signatures
CT a majority of the delegates to the
district convention at South Bend, at
which the Taft delegates were chosen,
precipitated the only sensational in
terchange and occasioned a sudden
reversal of the committees vote,
which was not explained to the salts
faction of the Roosecelt men.
Senator Borah tainted the Taft men
about it, telling them they changed
front because they were scared,

BOOSTS FOR BETTER FARMING
North Dakota Association Doing Good
Work in Field Meetings.

That the North Dakota Better
Farming association is to fill a field
of great usefulness to the state is the
opinion of the great majority of those
who are watching it's work. The coun-
ties in the state that have organized
and are cooperating with the asso-
citation are we'll pleased with the plan
and the farmers are taking advantage
of the service offered.
To put North Dakota on the map
as an alfalfa state is one of the OBJ
jects sought by the association. The
Increase of the corn industry is an
other and in working out these OBJ
jects the association this year will
have 1000 acres of alfalfa under it's
direction and about 10000 acres of
corn. In. Grand Forks county alone
the increase in these two crops since
the organization of the association is
figured at more than rs per cent.

RESIDENTS OF KODIAK SAT-
Were Endangered by Eruption of Alas
kan Volcano.

Cordova, Alaska, June 1.-THE
wireless silence which has kept back
new of the plight of the residents of
Kodiak island since the outbreak of
Katmai volcano last Thursday was
broken by a brief message from the
evenue cutter Manning, received by
the navy wireless station here, say
ing:
Residents Kodiak safe"
No further news of the certain de-
struction wrought by the volcano
could be obtained from the Manning
because of the highly electrified condi-
ton of the air.
It is believed the Manning was in
the vicinity of the town of Kodiak and
has probably gone to the relief of the
stricken fishing villages on the other
side of the island and almost at the
foot of the spOuting volcano.
