persons are known to have been killed
and many injured by storm that
passed over Central West Missouri,
demolishing buildings. tearing down

ton. The path of the storm here was
half mile wide and five miles long.
Between Merwin and Adrian nineteen
persons were killed AT. Creighton two
are known to be dead, while at Lection
two are dead and reports say others
have been killed.
Where Henry Cameron and three of
his children were killed the wind

jured. The bodies of Gibson and Fred
Groves were found more than a mile
from their hime. In another place the

FOR RECALL OF JUDGES Ct: 5

The Lundeen bill, providing for
the recall of all elective officers
within the state was passed by the
house Saturday afternoon by vote
of 81 to 3. The bill as finally
passed makes judges subject to re-
call under the same conditions as
other state, county and municipal
officers.
The warmest fight of the after
noon was waged upon the question
of recall of the judiciary. In the
elections committee the provision
for the recall of judges was stricken
from the bill by vote of IL to 10.
After the elections committee had
reported the bill out of the house
an amendment was offered by An
drew Anderson of Lakeland reinstat-
ing that feature. After spirited de-
bate the amendment was accepted
by the house by a vote of go to 5.
Charles N. Orr of st. Paul opposed
the judicial recall feature because
he said the bill was certain to meet
defeat in the senate if it provided
for recall of judges. w. l. Nolan
of Minneapolis. who made speeches
favoring recall of judges at the regu-
lar session, was opposed to adding
judicial recall at this time because
he said he felt the bill would not
then pass the senate. Nolan charged
that the men who were fayoring jul
dietary recall at the extra session
were insincere and playing politics.
w A. Campbell of Minneapolis re-
torted that Nolan was talking
through his hat
Decisions like that made by
Judge Sanborn have created a de-
mand for the recall of Judges" de-
clared Campbell. 81 maintain that
citizen when he behaves himself,
but that he is one of the most vi.
cious of influences when he does
not"
On the roll call only five house
members voted against including
judges in the list of officers who
may be recalled. They were: J. N.
Johnson, Knutson, Robinson. G. E.
Stone and White On the final pas
sage of the Lundeen bill Knutson,
c. E. Stone and White were the only
members opposing.
After the bill had passed the house
Ernest Lundeen of Minneapolis, its
author, issued statement as fol
lows:
"The house and senate passed the
recall bill during the last session,
but due to an amendment and an
unfortunate mistake in adjourning
the senate, the bill was lost. The
searchlight of the state and public
opinion is now upon the Legislature.
Believing as l do that the senate is
progressive at this session and will
ing to carry out the will of the peo-
pie l confidently expect the upper
house to pass the bill without amend
ment"

HAS LOCATED LOCI HER SON

After several days of worrying as
to the whereabouts OF her son, Will
liam Cleaves, who suddenly disap-
peared Sunday evening, Mrs. Mary
Cleaves has received word that he
is in Mason City, Iowa. For while
no trace could be found of William
Cleaves, who was last seen Sunday
afternoon. He is about eighteen
years old and is a delivery man
for the Karmany meat market on
South Front street.
Mr.. Karmany last saw him Satur-
day night. At that time he noticed
nothing peculiar in Cleaves' actions.
Mr.. Cleaves went to the home of
Miss Alice Meyers Sunday afternoon
and had dinner with the family.
After dinner, he said he was going
up town to get some tickets for the
show, and do his chores and then
return for supper, after which he
said he would take Miss Meyers to
the theatre.
He was not seen by Mankato
friends since. When he did not re-
turn home that evening, Mrs Cleaves
began to worry, and today, after
considerable telephoning, she learn
ed that he was visiting relatives at
Mason City, Iowa. He did not ex-
plain in the telephone conversation
why he left, but he wrote letter
to his mother.

ROOSEVELT REJECTS

Chicago, June 18.-The initiative,

has been prepared by the Roose,

general way they are Endorsed, but
the Endorsement is so weak that the

the presidential preference primaries
are held to be absolutely necessary

Roosevelt platform pledges the nee.

The question of direct legislation
however, is held to be one for the
states themselves. 1t is declared that
they must solve this problem as

/ The platform will specifically declare
that the Roosevelt party will at
tempt no dictation as to methods
neither will it make an effort to
force one community to adopt meth

held, must amply everywhere in the

DENOUNCED THE ATTACK

ST. Paul, June 18.-Judge Walter
H. Sanborn of the United States cir
cult court conferred with Senator
James Denegre, regarding the i'm
parchment resolution presented to
the state senate, Saturday, by Sena,
tor Frank Glotzbach. What was said
in conference, neither the judge nor
the senator would state.
Judge Sanborn does not seem
worried over the outcome. 81 will
not discuss the matter" is all he
would say.
Senator Denegre strongly support
ed the judge. ....
Senator Glotzbach's attack upon
Judge Sanborn is an insidious, con-
temptible. ungentlemanly and das-
tardly act" he declared. "It is an
example of what the country may
expect from some sources if the re-
call of judges is adopted.
"It is an attack upon a man who
is trying to do his duty as a judge.
The resolution did not come before
the senate Saturday. The senator
from Rice simply asked unanimous
consent of the body to place the
resolution before it. Consent was
denied by a vote of 20 to 49,"

BIG SUM WAGERED
ON RESULT or VOTE

Chicago, Ill. June 1S.-Two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars has
been placed in bets in this city or
ton. This is the estimate placed by
a well-known gambler of the city
yesterday who has handled nearly
$4,000 in wagers from fasteners.
Although odds in some cases have
been given that Roosevelt would get
the nomination. the betting on the
two big candidates stood at about
even money. La Toilette, Cummins
and other dark horses are quoted
at anywhere from 10 to 20 to l.
Odds of 10 to 7 have been given
that Roosevelt would be nominated
on third ballot. The first big bet OF
the day was recored in the Audi
forum Hotel when an Arizona ranch
owner bet $4,000 that President
Taft would receive the nomination
The takers represented a body OF
Pennsylvania men. Robert H.
Baines of SanFrancisco, who arrived
here yesterday with the California
delegation declared he had $4,000
to bet on Roosevelt and when that
was gone could get a like amount

BEAN BUYS A BIG RANCH

ST. Paul, Mimi. June 18-F. A.
Bean, the man who created a SEN
sation in Minnesota business circles
last winter by paying off outlawed
debts that mounted well UP into
the thousands, has again stepped in
to the financial 1imelight by buying,
with associates, the celebrated Hag-
gin ranch near Sacramento, Cal, for
100000. Associated with Mr. Bean,
who is former New Prague mil
Ter, is P. M. Kerst, formerly state
examiner under the late Governor
Johnson and now examiner of twin
city banks
Many other Minnesota bankers of
small towns are interested in the
deal. Some years ago Mr.. Bean was
engaged in the milling business, fell
into debt, and lots his fortune His
debts became outlawed. and forgot
ten by his creditors, but he paid up
everything as soon as he. was able
He continued as miller, establish

The Haggin farm consists of sew

BACK TO GOPHER STATE
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
A. r. Johnson and son of Evans
spent short time with friends
here yesterday. while on their way
home from Wyoming, where they
had gone ostensibly to make their
future home. However, they became
disguised with Wyoming and were
glad to get back to Minnesota Mr.
johnson stated that he has little time
for Wyoming. They have a great
dam there in the Big Horn valley,
but the laterals or irrigation bitches,
have not been made yet, and hence
there is no telling when one can
grow a crop there. The land bust.
ness there was a "bunco" game, he
said. 1t costs nothing for the land,
but the one who was duped into
taking some land had to pay SIS an
acre for water rights. These bitches
are not made and it may be ten
years before one can plant anything
on irrigated soil. There is no sign
of vegetation in the part of the
state where he went; although it
had rained every day since he
came there, there was no sign of a
spear of grass or tree, except near
the river banks.

ciples have been completed. From
now on until the committee on res
olutions is completed and goes to
work, these leaders will keep busy.
They hope to have strong documents
ready, SO that the committee will
not have to bother with the details.
Both factions will declare for a
scientific downward revision of the
tariff. Each will take the ground
that, while American labor must be
protected, the fact that trust-made
goods are sold abroad profitably at
less than half what is charged in
the United States shows the pres.
,ent rates are too high. But in one
respect the platform will differ The
Taft platform will insist that the
present tariff board is meeting the
situation squarely and its recon-
mendations are the ones to be fol-
lowed The Roosevelt platform will
insist the present board be strength
ened. There will be no mention of
reciprocity, according to present
plans.
Both platforms also declare for a
strong navy and both will take ad-
vanced ground on conservation of
natural resources.
The Taft platform will indorse a
central financial organization such as
that suggested by the Aldrich plan,
but an attempt will be made to
change it enough so that criticism
of the Aldrich plan cannot be ap-
piled to the suggested one. The
Roosevelt platform is expected spe-
officially to condemn the Aldich plan
in detail.
The La Toilette camp expects to
have a substitute that will denounce
the Aldrich plan specifically and rec.
ommend governmental control of the
nations finances.
The Taft platform will declare en-
phatically for the retention of the
Sherman antitrust law, but will de-
mand supplementary legislation that
it's operation may be made more
easy and also that the individual re.
easily fixed. The Roosevelt plan
will demand the enactment of laws
which will make more easy the reg
ulation of all big combinations OF
capital and the specific definition OF
just what is and what is not lawful,
The Roosevelt plan will be revolu
tionay in one thing-it will declare
unequivocally for woman's suffrage
and inasmuch as there is wide diff
ference of opinion on this plan, a
warm fight is expected on this plank
The Roosevelt platform will entirely
ignore the Taft administration. 1t is
being drafted by James A. Garfield

ment will be the handiwork of Sen
