TAFT MEN PLAN PROGRAM.
Seems Likely They Will Strive To Wind
Up Convention This Week.

Chicago. June 2l.-A general confer
ence of the Taft managers was held
last night, at which program for the
sessions of the convention, was discussed
1t was determined to get to work
promptly on the report of the creden-
tial committee. While there is no pros
pect that a complete report will be
ready when the convention is called to
order, the committee will present par
tial report, which the convention will
take up Immediately. The credentials
committee will then resume considera /.
tion of contests and report piecemeal to
the convention.
The plan of the Taft managers is to
hold day and night sessions and press
the work so that nominations can he
reached Saturday and the convention
be brought to close Saturday night
or early Sunday morning.
On the other hand there is talk of
not hurrying matters at all, and Of
prolonging the session until Monday or
Tuesday of next week. This apparently
does not meet with favor among the men
who are really in control nor does it
please the great mass of delegates, WHO
are anxious to get home.

The statement declared that ten in

Taft if he would accept the nomination.

GOV. MEAD Is

Issues a Circular Which Is Being Circu-
lated Among Delegates From the
Southern States.

Chicago, June 2l.-The following cir.
cular is being distributed among the
colored delegates at the national Re-
publican convention:
Governor John A. Mead of Vermont
is candidate for the vice presidency.
He is business man whose building up
of the great Howe Scale company has
made him most fayorably known ma
tionally and internationally. In becom.
ing governor of Vermont he smashed a
political machine that had been many
years in control of Vermont politics.
His administration has been the most
progressive in the states history.
Governor Mead has been the archi-
tect of his own fortunes. Orphaned at
an early age and without property in
hertance, his course was for long 4
struggle with adversely. But by force
of will, industry and frugality, he Sc
cured college education tMiddlebury

medical profession until he undertook
the work of building up the Howe Scale
company from bankrupt situation iii

tance.
OOFefnOF hedu, III Ine mlusI OF His
college course, went to the front in
the Civil war as common soldier and
probably in him there is now the last
opportunity that will be had for recog-
nizing member of the Grand Army of
the Republic in connection with nation
al office.
Governor Mead is true representa-
tive o. the Vermont spirit that has been
so great factor in national develop
ment Native Vermonters who have
emigrated and men of Vermont stock in
many states are examples of this same
spirit.
"ln Governor Mead's candidacy there
is splendid opportunity for honorng
the Vermont spirit wherever it has been
carried. Governor Mead's Republicansm
is staunch and progressive. His NOM

meet the approval of the entire bus.

be fitting recognition of the East, of
New England and Vermont. The gov

EACH HAD HIS BOTTLE
And Bottles, Labeled, Were Produced in
Court to Prove 1t.

| Michael David, proprietor of the I'm
| ion cafe on North Main street, whose
eating house was raided by officers twice
within the week, came into city court
| this forenoon to learn that the charge
preferred against him had been changed
from selling to keeping. When ar
raigned few days ago Mr.. David plead
ed not guilty. The state placed sew
eral witnesses on the stand during the
hearing, and at 1880 o'clock, Judge
Scott continued the case to allow the
prosecution to substantiate some of the
statements made on the stand. Nearly
all of the witnesses are boarders at the
Union, and much OF the testimony tend
ed to show that the community spirit is
rife among the men who tarry at Mr..
David's, so much in fact that all were
willing to club together and order wine
from the far-o off vineyards of California.
According to the stories told on the
stand Mr.. David was not a party to
this method of obtaining beverages. His
boarders simply gave their contributions
to the chairman of the club and each
received his portion of the wine when
the consignment arrived. Manuel Cano,
said to be butcher, declared that come
out his decanter of wine Another of
the brothers Cana testified likewise. An
imposing array of the vintage in sep
arately marked bottles was on exhibi-
tion in the court ROOM Each was la
beled with the owners name.
After the officers had testified at II
o'clock, Judge Scott continued the case
until Tuesday, june %. Meanwhile the
respondent will remain out on bail and
the wet goods seized by the officers will
be held at police headquarters. David
was represented by William Wishart and
r. A. Hoar States Attorney J. Ward
Carver and Hugh II. Carpenter had
charge of the prosecution. John Ariola
was summoned to act as interpreter
Earlier in the forenoon. Harry Hutch
inson, who gave his residence as Worces-
ter, came into court and pleaded guilty
to first offense of intoxication. He
will probably pay the fine of s. and
costs of S4.24 imposed by the court.
Hutchinson was arrested last night by
Officer Harry Gamble, who found the
man near North Barre.

John Ds3can, Aged IA, of Web
s. lie Was the Victim
FORE EYES OF COMRADES
Body Recovered an Hour and a Half
Later in 80 Feet of Water-Boy Prob
ably Was Taken with Fit, Which
Caused Him to Fall in.

While playing ON the bank of what ia
known as the "Old Klondike" quarry at
Websterville yesterday afternoon. John
Duncan, aged IA, was seized with an epi-
leptic fit, toppled over into 80 feet of
water and was drowned The accident
happened in the presence of several small
boys, including two brothers OF the vic
tim, all OF whom were powerless to save
the youngster.
Some of the boys were playing on
raft, while others were on the shore
throwing stones into the water. Sud
denly and without warning, John was
seen to fall over into the water. The
alarm was given and within short
time large number of adults were on
the scene, making efforts to bring the
body up. Frank Scott was one of those
who took extreme measures, as he went
down into the water in search of the
body but was unable to locate it be-
cause the water was very dirty.
Finally, Seleetmen F. i. Sargent of
East Barre and f. n. Aldrich of Granite
vile having arrived in the meantime, Il
grapple was fashioned and by means OF
it the body was located and brought 70
the surface. largely through the efforts
of James Raycraft 1t was then about
five o'clock, or an hour and a half after
the boy had gone down, so that efforts
to resuscitate him were out of the ques-
tion. The place where the body was
found was thirty feet deep with muddy
water, but in other parts of the quarry
the hole was still deeper. The quarry
was formerly operated by the Consoli-
dated company but had not been worked
for several years, the water being al
lowed to flow in.
A short time after the body had been
pulled out, it was carried to the Duncan
home, some distance away by james
Lawson. and Undertaken M. j. Whit
comb was notified. Besides his fa-
ther, the boy leaves two brother.
Alexander and Arthur. The FAM!
ly came here about two weeks agol
from Bury. p O., and the father has
been employed at the Wetmore & Morse
quarry. Mr.. Duncan was very much
used up over the loss OF his son.
The funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon at 1880 from the Episcopal
church at Websterville, and the burial
will be in Wilson cemetery

CLAIMS REPORT MISLEADING.
Frank E. Howe Says 1t Was Furnished
BY Political Enemy.

Bennington. June 2l.- Referring to the
statement concerning Max L. Powelrs
candidacy for lieutenant governor and
his chances in Bennington county, Frank
f. Howe last night said that some OF
Mr.. Powel's information concerning the
situation had without doubt been fur
nished TO injure Mr.. Howe's prospects
Mr.. Howe stated that he had no per-
sonal quarrel with Mr.. Powell and did
not believe the Burlington candidate
would claim any support in Bennington
county unless he had been given to sup
pose by Mr.. Howe's enemies that la was
justified in so doing Mr.. Howe said that
at the caucus the vote was almost unani-
nous to instruct the delegates for him
and to use every honorable means to
secure Mr.. Howe the nomination. Mr.
Howe stated that he believed nearly al;
of Remington county stands solidly back
OF him.

Issues"-Platform Nearly
Done.

Chicago, June 2l.-When the resolu.
tions committee adjourned at II O'Clock
to-day to permit the members to attend
the convention, the platform was virtual
ly completed. The draft of the docu-
ment was read to the full membership,
and it apparently proved acceptable. and
the members generally expressed salts
faction over the planks dealing with
monopoly and the courts.
The platform is more concise than
those of the recent past and does not
deal much with particular measures. but
rather with issues in general. No direct
reference is made by name to any pend
ing legislation The administration is
commended and Taft is complimented
for comprehensive. fair and vigorous
dealing with all issues The Mckinley
and Roosevelt administrations are also
extolIed
The committee will meet later in the
day to put the finishing touches on the
platform.
The principal contest of the day was
over the tariff declaration and dealt with
the definition of the measure of pro-
lection. One of the planks presented re-
iterated the contention of 1908 that the
protection should be equivalent to the
difference between the cost of produc-
tion in the United States and abroad.
while another undertook to substitute
for this a declaration that the protec-
tion should be sufficient to maintain the
standard of living prevailing among the
laboring people of the United States.
The second suggestion was presented
by Senator Lippitt OF Rhode Island. who
urged the great difficulty of ascertain-
ing the exact cost of production abroad.

We don't look prosperous; we don't feel

hotel idea is our very best place to take

A new hotel would help to raise the

the subcommittee on the ground that
it might be construed into a surrender
of the position taken four years ago.
The question was still open when the
night session began.
On other points on the tariff there was
little difference of opinion. All agreed
on condemning the course of the Demo
cratic House of Representatives in giving
no heed to the findings of the Taft board
in the attempted tariff legislation of
the present Congress and not providing
for the continuance of its existence. 1t
was certain that there would be dec
laration for the continuation of the
board and for tariff legislation only
along the lines of its recommendation.
