Dixon In Washington.
Senator Dixon left for Washington
last night. He has paired In the Senate
all the time he has been managing
Roosevelt's campaign with Senator
Bailey of Texas, but Bailey insisted on
being released from the pair to vote In
the Lorimer case. and Dixon had to go
to Washington. When Lorimer's fate
Is decided he will go campaigning again.
The method of choosing delegates to
the convention will be left to the lead
ers or the various States; probably they
will be chosen in conventions. Senator
Dixon said before he left that the time
is too short for primaries. One or two
States have already had Roosevelt con-
ventions. Said Senator Dixon:
"As to the platform, nothing has peen
decided, except that 1t will be highly
scientific one, setting forth issues that
are nearest to the people-issues which
both the Chicago and Baltimore conven-
tions ignored. For forty years platforms
have been a mess of platitudes. Thls
will not be one.
"At this convention" the Senator
went on, there will be no steam roller.
no cash register, no pay clerk, no guillo'
tine"

BOY ON PARACHUTE
BROWNS In RESERVOIR
Drops Thosuand Feet Into Water
At Cleveland, .Inexperience
Causing Trouble.

CLEVELAND, July S.-Robert Thibe-
deau, eighteen, was drowned late yester-
day, when his parachute, cut adrift Loo
feet in air. descended in Paramount
reservoir.
1t was Thibedeau's second ascension.
A week ago he was to have gone up
with o. r. Bankston, the aeronaut with
whom he was serving a novitiste. AS
the balloon started. however, some part
of the apparatus gave way, leaving
Bankston on the ground. Thibedeau
kept his head, cut loose properly, and
made a safe descent.
Thousands saw the boy part com
pany with his balloon and start his
drop. The reservoir is two acres in
extent. and the boys inexperience
doubtless cost him his life, as an older
parachute jumper would have been
better Judge of distance, and drifted
and avoided the water.
After some delay a boat put out to
the spot where the parachute hoated.
Thibedeau, however, lashed to the tra-
peze, had sunk. His body was taken to
a neighboring hospital, and efforts at
resuscitation were made, though with
out avail.

WATERED STOCK
Of SUGAR TRUST
ORDERED RETIRED
Havemeyer Heirs Lose Suit
for Control of $lO,OOO,-
900 Issue.

TRENTON, N. j.. July S.-Recogniz-
ing as actually outstanding the SO, 900, 600
of common stock held by the heirs of
Henry o. Havemeyer in the National
Refining Company Of New Jersey, an
opinion filed in the court Of chancery
today Vice Chancellor Stevens orders
that this stock be retired in the manner
prescribed by law. The decision Of the
vice chancellor enjolns the holders from
voting on the stock, and gives the de-
PENDANTS leave to argue On the form
which the decree of the court shall take
as to how the stock should be retired.
The decision of the court was In the
litigation brought by Norman B. Took er
and others against the executors and
children of the late sugar king to re-
quire them to surrender the certificates
for 100000 shares of common stock of
the National Sugar Refining Company.
The ground for the suit was that at the
company's organization the directors de-
hberately overvalued the property pur-
chased by 1t, and that Henry o. Have
meyer obtained the stock which repre-
sents the GENERALIZATION.
The opinion of Vice Chancellor Stevens
shows that the National Company, to-
gether with the New York Sugar Re-
filming Company and the Mollenhouer
Sugar Refining Company. were CARRYING
on trade war against the American
Sugar Refining Company.
James H. Post, as the secret rep
resentative of Havemeyer, brought
about the consolidation of these com
panies so that the competition would
be friendly and profitable. The stock.
holders of the three companies were
to get $S,250,0O0 of preferred stock ir
the new concern for their holdings In
the old companies. In addition to this
the new concern issued $40, 100000 OF
common stock to Post for Havemeyer
1t was the claim of the Havemeyer in
terests that, combined. this stock was
much more valuable and the issuance
of the new stock WAS Warranted.

TWO ARRESTS MADE
IN MURDER CASE
OF NEW YORK GIRL
Parents in Bronx in Terror
Following Fiendish
Attack.

NEW YORK, July s.-Two men were
arrested early today in connection with
the murder of twelve-year- old Julia
Connors, who, fifteen hours after her
disappearance from a crowded street in
the Bronx, Saturday night, was found
dying, naked and mutilated in a vacant
lot half a block away from her home.
AT 1870 a. m. the police of the fremont
station arrested Giovanni Gerissi, OF
1899 Fulton avenue.
The other man arrested gave the name
Of Jefferson Kelly. He is fifty-one years
old and admitted that he had done
no work for two years. He is described
by the police as park lounger."
Parents In State of Panic.
The police admit that they have no
direct evidence against these men, and
1t is generally believed that the slayer
is still at large. AS a consequence par
ents living in the Bronx are in a state
Of terror.
After little Julia had been frightfully
tortured, her body was placed in a box
and left in vacant lot in the rear Of
East 17&rd street, between Third and
Fulton. avenue. There 1t was found
yesterday morning by a boy who had

She died an hour later in the Fordham
Hospital.

Detectives who worked on the case
| as well as physicians called in on It, de-
| clare that the man who tortured Julia

Her body had been hacked again and

forty stab wounds. Twenty-one were
in the back. Other wounds were in the
hands, wrists. arms. and throat. The
torturer finally completed his work by
stabbing the poor child in the heart
That she lived after this last stab had
been inflicted was considered marvellous
