WATSON'S VOTE is
NOW BEING SOUGHT
One of Jim's Admirers Has a
Dream of Him Being Of
fered Vice Presidency.

CHICAGO, Ill, June 14.-To break
into the 20 Indiana Taft votes became
one of the big plays of the Roosevelt
managers. What was regarded as a
surprising thing was that they were
trying to land James +. Watson, dele
gate at large, who was whip of the
House during the close of the Cannon
regime.
Watson is one of the most ardent
standpatters in the country. He and
the Beverage wing of the party in
Indiana have just about as friendly a
regard for each other as two bristling
bulldogs. Yet the Roosevelt leaders
here seem to feel that they. are going
to land Watson in their camp before
long. one of them offered to gamble
today that Roosevelt will get some OF
the Taft votes in Indiana.
1--WE already have one he asserted
However. he wouldn't name him. He
predicted that at least two Indiana
Taft delegates will vote for Roosevelt
The pipe line" through which an at.
tempt is being made to reach Watson
and another delegate is regarded as
one OF the real forces Of the situation
and there are many of them.
With Roosevelt Leaders.
Watson's most ardent admirer in
Indiana is Jake Fiukelstein, of Terre
Haute, who is an alternate from the
Fifth District. Watson is his ideal OF
a public man and he is for him on all
propositions. He was here yesterday
and last night with Watson, and they
spent most of the day with the In
diana Roosevelt leaders.
Just before he left for Indiana this
afternoon Finkelstein uncovered the
game that is being worked to obtain
ret only Watson's vote for Roosevelt
but that Of Finkelstein, if he should
SIT as a delegate, which is not improb
able.
"How many Indiana Taft votes dc
you think we could swing to Roose
welt IL they put Jim on the ticket fol
Vice PRESIDENT" asked Finkelstein ex
citedly.
The matter wasn't joke with him
although he quickly declared that he
Is for Taft.
Finkelstein said that the propose
hadn't been made to Watson, but that
it had been put up to his friends by
Roosevelt managers, whose names he
would not divulge.

NJ. Frederic Mason has traced the
remarkable career of Signor Anton
march,. whom Cardinal Feseh sent to
st. Helena to act as Napoleon's medi-
cal adviser. He was not even quail
fed. but was only student holding
an appointment in the dissecting room
of the Florence hospital, and he dag
nosed cancer of the stomach as Il sim
pie indigestion and counseled the en-
peror to cure it by digging in the gar
den. After Napoleon's death he tried
to obtain a pension from his heirs on
the strength Of an unsupported state
ment that there was a codicil in the
will bequeathing one to him. Marie
Louise and Neipperg refused, to do
anything for him, but the matter ulti-
mately went to arbitration. and he was
awarded an annuity of 5000 francs.
He raised a little ready money by sell
ing Napoleon's death mask, and then.
after setting up in medical practice in
Paris and failing to obtain patients,
he crossed the ocean to New Orleans.
He died in Santiago in 1S3S.-West-

Bell Ringing 10 an Art.

"Bell ringing is a science" said a
master of the art 'It is called cam
panology, and there are abstruse and
technical terms in it, like Kent treble
bob 'Stedman cinques,' double court
bob lodges 'noils' and 'stingoes.
Each Of these terms defines a certain
phase or kind of bell ringing. In Eng
land there is a society, the Central
Council of Bell Ringers, that every
campanologist desires ardently to be-
long to. Maybe you think bell ringing
10 simple? Do you know what a peal
is? A peal in ringers parlance is a
series Of 5000 changes rung upon a
chime, no change occurring more than
once"
