Hold Precinct Conventions.
DALLAS. Tex, July 27.-Republican
precinct conventions are scheduled for
this afternoon throughout Texas to name
delegates to the county conventions a
week from today.
The importance of today's meetings lies
largely in the possibility that some def
mite contest between the Taft and the
Roosevelt republicans may develop. The
Roosevelt men recently decided In a state
conference at Dallas to take no action to-
ward a split until after the Chicago con-
vention. The Taft hackers are said to he

Further Word Expected,

Probably further representations will
be forthcoming. particularly in the event
that the trend of the discussion should
indicate the probable enactment of al
legged discriminating legislation That is
the more probable. for the reason that
the British government Is believed to
have received urgent appeals from the
various crown colonies and dependencies.
which would be injuriously affected in
their commercial relations by discrimina-
ton in favor of the American vessels US
ing the Panama canal.
These appeals are certain to stiffen
the attitude of the foreign office in the
negotiations with the United States which
are expected to follow the treatment Of
this subject OF canal tolls and regula-
tions by Congress.

ENGLAND RESTS CASE
AS TO PANAMA CANAL
Supposed to Be Awaiting
Arguments in the United
States Senate.

The British government has concluded
to rest its case in the matter of it's pro-
test against discrimination in favor of
American vessels in the use of the Pana-
ma canal on the note submitted to Sec
rotary Knox by Mr.. Innes. the British
charge of embassy. July $, for the pres
ent at least. Mr. lines today Informed
Secretary Knox that his government has
nothing to add on the subject to that
note.
When the original protest was filed. the
British government, through its charge,
Informed the State Department that a
more extended statement of its objections
was being forwarded by the first mail.
That document has been anxiously
awaited during the past ten days. In
the absence of any statement az TO the
reason for Withholding IA further pre-
sentation of the views of the British
government, 1t is assumed that the
foreign office is disposed to await the de-
velopment of the argument pro and con
in the United States Senate upon the
pending canal bill.

CLIMAX REACHED

Banner Crowd of Week Marks
Tri- City Day at the Big
Celebration.
ROCK ISLANDERS ARE MANY
John p. Whites Absence Does Not
Mar Proaram-Happy Corners
Lose Ball Game.

Though disappointed in the failure
OF John P. White. president of the
United Mine Workers, TO be present,
Coal Valley citizens yesterday enter
tanned the largest crowd Of their home
coming week and presented a program
OF entertainment that left little 10 be
desired. Mr.. Whites coming 70 visit
the scenes OF his childhood was con-
hdently expected. He had been urged
70 do so by q telegram signed by a
hundred or more Coal Valleyites. The
mines in that vicinity and at Sherrard
and Mathersville were closed TO en-
able the employees 70 attend the meet
ing and hear their president speak.
But the man who is rated as perhaps
the most distinguished son OF the vii
lage did not come and there was no
word from him to explain his absence.
ROCK ISLANDERS IN FORCE.
More Rock Islanders turned out for
tri-city day than those from any other
locality outside OF Coal Valley. There
we're three coach loads from here on
the afternoon train, and many went on
the morning train, while another large
delegation went by auto and there are
number who are making their head
quarters there during the entire week.
Stroehle's band furnished music for
the day. Rock Islands booster spirit
was in evidence in many ways and the
city's slogan. TRY Rock Island First"
extended its cordial invitation TO
neighbors in a hundred places.
The first part of the program was
musical. After a number by the band
Mrs. Minnie Ransom Barker OF this
city sang, and was enthusiastically en-.
cored. Another selection by the band
was followed by a vocal solo BY Mrs.
Evans. a daughter OF Coal Valley and
an accomplished musician. She. too.
was recalled for another number.
JUDGE sEARLE SPEAKS.
Judge e. J. Searle, in the absence
Of Mr.. White. was the only speaker
OF the day. His remarks were brief
He called attention TO the fact that.
While he was not a son OF Coal Valley,
he was in fact sonin-law, Mrs.

RACING PUT UNDER BAN
Indiana Governor Takes Action
Against Mineral Springs Club.

Indianapolis, Ind. Aug. 23.-Gover-
nor Marshall has instructed Thomas
NJ. Honan, attorney general, to pre-
pare plea for injunction against the
Mineral Springs Jockey club, which
is preparing to operate a race track
at Porter, Lake County, to prevent
the races being carried out The plea
will be based on the allegations that
the club was organized in an effort to
evade the criminal laws against race
track gambling.
The governor declined to reveal the
source of complaint received by him
in regard to the club. According to in
formation filed with him, the club
was organized under the laws of South
Dakota for the purpose of operating a
race track and other amusement en-
terprises at Porter. The inc5rporatoIs

REAL COWGIRLS COMING
They Are a Feature of the 1o1 Ranch
Wild West Exposition.

WIZ NC6l G~PSoINiS"'
The impression that has been given
Of the cowgirl is most decidedly con-
trasted by the real cowgirl that Is
seen with the 101 Ranch real wild
west show. She is not the holden that
has been pictured in fiction and by
artists whose only knowledge Of this
beautiful type of the American woman
is Imagination. She is a beautiful
composite of a perfect woman reared
in the lap of nature whose rough edges
have been smoothed down by college
education. A fearless, muscular and
graceful daughter of the plains in
lingerie, possessing just enough of the
manish to bring out prominently the
gentler traits of her sex and conspicu-
ously set forth the unadulterated
types Of her perfect womanhood.
There is no more perfect type of the
real American woman than is the west
ern cowgirl. Serious flirtations-she
has no knowledge Of Matrimony to
her is a sacred institution that once
INDUCED in is the venture for life.
! Flattery to her is obnoxious, while
any allusion to her personal charms
would be met with deserved resent
ment. 1t must not be inferred from
/ this that she is entirely devoid of all
the charms that make women attrac-
/ tive. Far from it. 1t is her extreme
honesty 10 herself and TO others that
makes her taboo many traits so prom
inent in her sisters who have been
reared in the center of the social
whirl She is the real and not the one
who has been spoiled by the embrac-
! ing of the artificial. From infancy her
horse and her gun are her playmates
until she arrives at the age of desire
for enlightenment. and when her col

TRAGIC ENDING OF
 AN INDIANS SPREE
His Son Blown to Pieces and Himself
 Fatally Injured.

Lockport, N. Y, Dec. 27.-Alexander Williams. the 16-year-old son of John Williams, one of the most influential Indians on the Tuscarora reservation, was instantly killed and Williams him self was probably fatally injured by an explosion of dynamite that wrecked their cabin today. The dynamite was set off by the accidental discharge of a shotgun in the hands of the elder Williams, who a moment before had threatened to shoot his entire family.
 Williams had been drinking heavily for week. This afternoon when he came into their cabin his wife upbraid- ed him. In frenzy over the woman's words Williams rushed to a gun rack and took down a shotgun, declaring that he was going to kill them all
 The boy. Alexander. was sitting at a table with another Indian. The two ran toward Williams with the inten- ton of disarming him. Mrs Williams picked up their four year. old child and rushed toward the door. As the boys approavhed Williams dropped the butt of the gun to the floor. The jar discharged the weapon and the charge tore into a cupboard where a | quantity of dynamite had been stored
 There was terrific explosion. Young 1 Williams was blown to pieces and the i fathers right arm and shoulder were ! torn away. Mrs. Williams was hit on 1 the forehead by piece of flying de- bris as she emerged from the cabin
 door but was only slightly hurt
