Chicago.-When the republican
national committee meets on June 6,
to consider the contests filed by
Roosevelt and Taft delegates in q
number of states, the members will
be confronted with a problem of what
to do in the districts where more

Four years ago there were several
cases of this kind in Louisiana and
the national comittee asked the dou-
BILE delegations and allowed them half
a vote each in the convention.
This year there are a half dozen OF
these cases already reported and Sec
rotary Hayward has classed each as
a contest and referred them to the

MORGAN As A

70 ENDEAvoR TO BRING THE
TuRkiSH.lTALlAN WAR
TO AN END.
TO CONFER WITH KAISER
Summoned to Meet Emperor Wilhelm
at Venice Soon, to Discuss
Possible Terms Of
Settlement.

London, April 6.-Great interest re.
suited in financial circle here when
Rome cables announced that J. Pier
pont Morgan, the noted America finan-
cier, has been commanded" to meet
the kaiser in Venice in the near fu-
ture. The Germany emperor is now
winding up brief vacation on the
Island of Corfu and will return to Ber-
lin by the way of Venice and there
will confer with the financier.
The consensus of opinion here is
that the conference may be most mo-
mentous because of the bearing it will
have on the Italian-Turkish war. The
war is a source of worry for financiers
everywhere, as it is recognized that
the slightest overt act on the part of
either of the belligerents might in
volve other nations. This has become
more evident recently since Italy has
assumed the offensive elsewhere than
in Tripoli.
It is argued here that Morgan re-
Gently has had an audience with King
Victor and is in a position probably
to know just what are the best terms
Turkey may expect at the hands of
her foe. Inasmuch as the kaiser has
great influence with Turkey, if Nor
gan unofficially communicates to him
these terms and he, in turn, through
the German embassy at Constantine
ople, let's the sultan and his ministers
know what to expect, it can be quickly
determined, without publicity, whether
the time is ripe for Germany or any
of the friendly powers to come into
the open with suggestions for a peace
plan.
Friends of Morgan here are deeply
interested in the suggestion that the
American financier has adopted the
role of a peacemaker. They say that
he has been deeply stirred recently
because of the danger of Balkan com
p@ications, and it is believed he will
urge the kaiser to throw all of his in
fluence toward having Turkey cede
Tripoli to Italy, and thus end the war

Memo, s. D.-After negotiations

Wolf Creek Mennonite colony in this

rangements for the purchase of 9,400
acres of land in Montana, upon which

The Montana tract cost 100000,
and it is understood that spot cash
was paid, the Wolf Creek colonists
being among the wealthiest in the
country. The colony has enjoyed a
