Springfield, ILL.,. Jan. 29.-The pro-
gressive republican state conference
did not endorse anybody for the presi-
dency The resolutions. adopted with
out fight. preferred no man for the
presidential nomination.
Nor was there reference in the reso-
lutions to the candidates. Of Senator
Magill for United States senator or OF
Senator Jones' for governor.
The resolutions were unsparing ir
denunciation Of President Taft and Of
Governor Deneen. The national and
state administrations are condemned
without reserve.
Robert NJ. LaFollette and Albert B
Cummins received honorable mentor
in the resolutions, referring to their ac-
tions in the senate upon the railroad
rate bill
The name of Theodore Roosevelt was
not included in the resolutions. which
were offered by Medill Mccormick al
chairman of the committee, except By
a splank commencing the Roosevelt
Pinchot conservation policy.
The policy Of the Illinois progres-
sives as to the presidency was modelled
materially after the plan followed by
the Ohio conference. The Illinois reso-
lutions do not go so far as the Ohio
declaration, which mentioned by name
Roosevelt and LaFollette.
All Of the battling was performed
within the resolutions committee. There
was a strong sentiment for an endorse
ment Of Roosevelt and as strong FOL
an endorsement OF LaFollette. There
was insistence that Senator Cunlmins
be included, followed by demand thai
former Senator Beveridge, of Indiana
be named as satisfactory presidentia
possibility from . progressive stand
point.
The result was compromise with
the endorsement openly Of no candidate
active or potential. There was fear
openly avowed. of trouble on the fiool
OF the conference when the report was
presented.
The presidential situation was dis
posed Of IN the following paragraphs:
We condemn the attitude Of thu
national administration and the ma

their stand I'M favor OF, the presen
devious and indirect methods Of choos
ing prestdential candidates.
We are opposed to the denomination
Of President Taft
We invite the cooperation Of all wht
believe in the principles of progressive
republicanisn. and urge that they unite
to send to the next national convention

ination Of progressive republican fo'

ACCIDENTALLY
AND KILLS SELF
DYING WOMAN RAISES HEAD TO
EXPLAIN SHOOTING WAS AN
ACCIDENT, CLEARING MYSTERY.

Salina, Kan, Oct. 26.-The mysteri-
Gus shooting of Mrs. ". r. Cox and
the death by her own hand of Mrs.
Carl Ward was partly cleared today
when Mrs. Cox, after gaining con-
seriousness liz said to have admitted
quested Chief of Police Meyer to say
1t was an accident.
After dining together at the Cox
home Mrs. Ward, who had lived with
Ms. Cox, went to her new home, sew
eral blocks away, which was being
newly furnished for the Wards. A
woman met Mrs. Ward going toward
the Cox home shortly before. 2 o'clock,
walking hurriedly and apparently in
deep thought. The friend addressed
Mrs. Ward: Hello. Sadie but there
was no response. The address was re-
peated and again there was no re-
Spouse
Mrs. Cox said she was preparing to
go to a woman's club meeting and Mrs
Ward entered her room saying, This
is my husbands revolver which he
gave me for my protection" Mrs. Cox
says she cautioned her to be careful as
the pistol might be discharged, and al
most instantly a shot was fired. Mrs
Cox fell to the floor and says that is
the last she can remember until she
was aroused by friends about an hour
later. Mrs. Cox's condition is critical
and there is considerable doubt of heI
recovery.
The neighbors declare they heard
two shots at the Cox home, but paid
no attention to them. supposing they
were automobile tire blowouts. Imme-
diately after the shots were heard Mrs
Ward was observed by some of the
neighbors leaving the Cox home, al
most on a run and less than an hour
afterwards, Mrs. Wards body was
taken from the cistern at her new
home. She had shot herself four times
1t was almost an hour after this before
Mrs. Cox was found injured.
Mrs. Wards condition is believed by
some of her friends to have caused Q
temporary alteration of the mind un-
der the excitement of moving away
from the Cox home, where she ha6
lived several years before her marriage
to Ward last April. They continued
to live there after their marriage. Al
the time of the shooting they were
moving to strange neighborhood an6
the thought of remaining alone al
night together with the dread of leav
ing one Of her best friends, is believed
by many to have been the cause of the
shooting.
Coroner Armstrong empanele.i a
jury today for an investigation. After
viewing the body of Mrs. Ward the
inquest was adjourned indefinitely,
pelding the result in Mrs. Cox's con-
dition. Mrs. Cox is prominent in wo-
mems club affairs in Salina and while
Mrs. Ward did not belong to clubs
she was frequently in society gather
ings and often attended the club
meetings as guest of the hostess.

AN HONOR. VICE
PRESIDENCY
HISTORY HAS SHOWN IT TO BE a
MOST IMPORTANT POSITION AL.
THOUGH POLITICIANS FEEL 1T
A SACRIFICE TO ACCEPT OFFICE

The vice presidency of the United
States is a post of high honor and dis
tinction, and yet among men in public
life there is feeling that the widely
known man who consents to accept
the Office is abandoning opportunities
of greater preferment. He is said to
be making a sacrifice. He is often
pitied and oftener ridiculed for per-
hitting himself to be laid on the
shelf" He is spoken of as a dummy. >
He is regarded as one who has lost
his place in the world of affairs. All
this Is nonsensical. 1t may be true the
office of vice president is often dwarfed
by the Office of president. if the view
point be entirely practical; but, stand
ing upon it's own base, the vice pre5i-
delcy is no empty honor and no sine
cure. 1t is something to be presiding
officer Of the United States senate.
The history of the country, moreover,
has demonstrated it to be something
of great Importance to be next in line
to the presidency.-Christia Science

IN
DIVORCE SUIT
WIFE OF PLAYWRIGHT ALLEGED
CRUELTY IN FORMER SUIT
NEVER FINISHED.

New York, Oct 26.--Mrs. Rella Abel
Armstrong filed suit for divorce today
against Paul Armstrong, playwright.
The papers in the case were locked up
as soon as they were filed and counsel
for Mrs. Armstrong refused to discuss
it. A similar suit was begun by Mrs.
Armstrong at Annapolis two years ago.
Mrs. Armstrong then accused her hus-
band of cruelty and of misconduct
with persons not known to her. She
received $500 a month pending that
suit. although she alleged her husband
had an income of $4,000 month and
she was entitled to more alimony.
Armstrong filed a denial of his wife's
charges, alleging she had condoneti
any offenses of which he might have
been guilty. He denied that he earned
an average of $4,000 month, although
he said he occasionally made that
much in royalties.
Mrs. Armstrong admitted she wasn't
anxious for divorce. but had brought
