- HE selection of Baltimore as the
place of meeting for the next
National Democratic Convention
~ recalls the historic fact that,
prior to the Civil War, more presi-
Dental candidates were nominated
there than in all other American cities
put together. At that time Balti-
more's chief recommendation was its
proximity to Washington, making 1t
most convenient for Congressman who
were generally made delegates and
who were at the Capitol then. for the
nominations were generally made dur
ing the long session of Congress.
Following the Civil War. with the
rapid spread of the people and with
the growing up of vigorous cities in
the West, Baltimore dropped out of
the running; indeed it was not until
last year that the people of the Monu-
mental City gave any thought to cap
turing the great political rally.
Once the suggestion was made. and
this at the Jackson Day banquet, the
desire was aroused and from that
moment until the national committee
made it's selection the Baltimoreans
never wavered. Perhaps the most eff
fective "persuader'' the national con-
vention committee received was GER
titled check for $4,000 the money
having been raised by popular sub
scription.
Most of the cities in which the Dem
cratic conventions have been held have
had to erect great hall. but in this
respect Baltimore is exceedingly for
tunate, having an armory, the home
of the Fifth Maryland Regiment,
which, with slight alterations and
changes. will seat nearly 1900 per-
sons and yet have ample space for
rooms for the various committees, AS
solicited Press, the telegraph COM
panies and others who have business
at the meeting.

ENORMOUS SUMS ARE
RAISED FOR TITANIC
SURVIVORS IN ENGLAND

London, Apr. 25.-The Titanic dis
aster still holds first place in the pub
lie mind. The newspapers publish
at great length the thrilling details
of the evidence given before the sen
atorial commission at Washington,
while the extraordinary flow of mon
ey to the relief funds is proof of. the
wide felt sympathy.
The Mail fund, contributed exclu-
sively by women, amounts to Sl2O.-
600; the lord mayors fund has reach
ed S545, 900 and the Telegraph s
sS7,775. The fund at Southampton
amounts to s72,7O0 and that at Liv-
erpool to $4,000 A large number
of special performances have been
arranged at various music halls and
theaters for the benefit of the suf-
ferers.
Captain Mckay, who. during 40
years in service. made 500 Atlantic
voyages without the loss of a life.

points to the necessity of following

he always advocated.

OFFERS TROPHY

Eugene A. Sunderlin. president of
the Grand Junction and Grand River
Valley Railway company. last even
ing announced that he would offer
handsome silver loving cup as
trophy to the team of the proposed
city trades league which would win
the pennant at the end of the season.
Mr.. Sunderlin was much interested
in the proposal of Charles w. Ford
that the local business houses and
industries organize teams in the
league. He will probably be willing
to uniform the team of the electric
company if it shows championship
ability.
The idea is gaining considerable
approval throughout the city. Most
of the games could be played on
Saturday afternoons and part of them
on Sunday. It may be said to be set
tied that all efforts TO provide Grand
Junction with non-Sunday baseball
have been complete and unmodified
failures
The railroad men. grocerymen.
real estate dealers and others will
probably put teams in the league suf-
ficient to make at least a six team
circuit.

About o'clock this morning a
shooting serape occurred in the
Navajo saloon, whereby Butch"
Allen lost his life. Little is known
of the dead man, he having come
here from Bisbee, Ariz., about ten
days ago looking for work in the
mines. Last night in the saloon
he met Dick Goodwin, a prospector
and mine owner from Kawich, and
after a few drinks had been in
.dulged in by both men, Allen began
to iostle Goodwin about the room,
and was requested to cease his
''rough-house" tactics, which he re-
fused to do and became very rough
in handling Goodwin The Kawich
man, who is very peaceful and
quiet man, ordered Allen to cease
handling him so roughly, and if he
did not he would protect his life.
No heed was paid to the request
and Goodwin drew his gun and
fired three shots into the chest of
the Arizona man, he dying as he
sank to the floor.

to minimum. Hardness has be-
come such nuisance also. that
we must ask parents to send ex-
cnses with the pupil when they
knowingly start too late to reach

that some are sent in time, but stop
on the way to play marbles. and
either arrive late or not at all,
getting excuses from other than the

school law, who are thus tardy, or
absent, except for sickness or such
as would excuse them by. law
will be required to make up the
