JOY RIDE HAS
 A BAD ENDING
Two Young Boys in Custody Charged With Felonously Taking Automobile Be longing to A. A. Arm strong; Boys Hurt

Clever detective work on the part of the Chief of Police Johnny Moore backed by the intelligent co operation of the force has resulted in solving the mystery surrounding the theft of A. A. ArmstrOng's Ford automobile last Tuesday night.
 As a result of Moore's deductions and q four hour administration of the third degree a confession was ob- tained last evening from Frank La Rue. and Ray E. Ballinger, seventeen year old boys who were arrested ear Her in the day information having reached the chief that they were nursing injuries mysteriously received.
 The confession involves two other boys of about the same age, Floyd Hanson and Cyril Keddinger who were arrested later in the evening.
 The young prisoners frs: accounted for their injuries by stating that thes had accompanied two Mexican girls to their homes in the Mexican qua" ter and upon their way back had been set upon ana beaten by a gang of MeXicans. Examined separately y dime, but finally discrepancies ap- peared and under the stress of toc chiefs cross examination they broke down and confessed to having taken the machine
 The car was run from tna Arm strong garage at 2222 West Washing ton street at about II o'clock Tues day evening. and the four boys ac- cording tO La RueS statement. start cd out Central avenue for joy ride.
 When near the Arizona canal the machine became unmanageable and skiddng violently turned turtle As a result of this accident all of th. boys were badly cut anu bruised aad the machine so badly damaged th&- MT. Armstrong says it's value is prac- tically destroyed
 After several hours of work the boys managed to right the ear and run it back to the garage where they replaced it in it's wrecked condition about three o'clock in the morning. Since that time the police have been on the trail. A valuable overcoat be- longing to the owner has not yet put in an appearance.
 La Rue claims that he was en- ployej at the Empress theater and was found there by his three com panions who importuned him to par Jicipate in the lark as he was the most expert in running a car. The police say that the young man has been implicated in similar escapades before.
 All Of he boys are of good family and well known in the younger circles of the city. A felony charge will be preferred against them anu the pris- oners transferred to the county au- thorities today.

A FRENCH VIEW OF CHINESE
 AFFAIRS.

M. GQlonc. distinguished French officer, who is estimated first-ratc authority about things Chinese, pass es in the Gaulois a most pessimistic judgment about the durability of the republican constitution of China. He reminds us that il is a palnable error to suppose lack of chmseablcncss as inherent in the Chinese race. AS a matter Of fact. China is the very scene of constant revolutions and incessmt transformations. Thus is is incredible that the newly founded Chinese republic should bc of any duration Tn" only chance for a last ine order of things the gallant officer sees in the possible success of Yuan Shi Kai-that is, in coup d'ctat by which Yuan Shi Kai would make

(National News Association

COLUMBUS, O., July 2.-The feud
between Taft and Roosevelt forces in
Ohio was made doubly apparent this
morning when at 9:45, three-quarters
of an hour before the calling of the
state Republican convention to order,
only about one third of the delegates
were in their seats. This indicated that
both the Taft and Roosevelt forces
we're having trouble in mastering dele
gates to their support.
The convention was called to order
by Senator Burton. General Kiefer of
the committee on resolutions read re-
port approving the Chicago platform
and indorsing the denomination of
both cheers and hooting The admins
tration of Col. Roosevelt was also in
dorsed and his name caused a slight
commotion among the delegates who
were evidently in good humor.
Ex-senator Massie read a minority
report drafted by the Roosevelt forces
which was identical with the majority
report excepting that the Endorsement
of the denomination of Taft was omit
ted. Senator Massie made a short
speech pleading that the convention
take no cognizance of what took place
At Chicago for the sake of party har-
mcny in Ohio.
General kiefer made a brief reply,
in which he stated that for the Ohio
convention to take no cognizance of
the Chicago convention would be to
repudiate the action of that conven-
ton.
Delegate Boyd and Delegate Hard
ing also advocated harmony. Mr. Har-
ding created great enthusiasm when
he declared that he did not think much
of political party that should not in
Gorse its national standard bearer. Mr.
Harding moved that the minority re-
port of the resolutions committee be
laid on the table and it brought the
first test of strength of the two fac
tons. The vote resulted 1851 to 301 "
with 26 absentees. The minority re-
port was therefore tabled and the state
convention indorsed the Chicago plat
form and the denomination of Taft.

J, R, GARFIELD
NOW HERE FOR
MASS MEETING

All is ready for the mass meeting of
the progressives tonight.
James R. Garfield arrived at 1:10
this afternoon and is in conference
with the progressive leaders this after
noon. This is better luck than the pro-
gressives have had for many a long
month. The only cloud may be truth
fully said to be the weather-rain.
The Gennett has been put in as cool
a state as possible and ventilation has
been going on all day.
The present indications are that
there will be packed house.
The latest feature to be announced
is the presence of Lee G. Gates of Los
Angeles, one of the California dele
gates to the Chicago convention. E. H.
Harris of the executive committee for
the progressives went to Dayton yes
terday to invite Gates to address the
meeting. Gates is a former Wayne
County man and replied that he would
be only too glad to tell his former fell
low citizens of the problems of the
progressives in California. Mr. Gates
drew the initiative and referendum
laws for the progressives which have
marked the backbone of Governor
Johnson's spectacular fight against the
railroad machine. Gates was a member
of the delegation from California. In
the convention Gates made a spectacu-
lar attempt to get the floor. People in
the galleries saw the California man
advance to position ten feet in front
of Victor Rosewater the diminutive
national committeeman from Nebras-
ka who held the gavel at the opening
of the convention. Rosewater refused
to recognize him-and the convention
knew that gag rules were to be the
order of the whole convention at Chi
cago.

gan at o'clock and it was only short
time later that the disaster came. Like
a meteorite the blazing balloon rushed
earthward, emitting clouds of black
ssmoke. 1t fell upon Brigantine beach
and rescuers who dashed two miles
across the inlet were unable to give
any help. Besides Melvin Vaniman
those on the Akron were Calvin Vant-
man, brother Of the aeronaut, Fred FL

Mrs. Melvin Vaniman saw the disas-
ter from the porch Of her home She
collapsed and is in a serious condition
An hour after the accident and after
the rescuers had given up all hope of
finding any of the victims the body
of Calvin Vaniman was recovered.
- Then, after making a search of the
beach about the point where the bal
loon had plunged to earth, rescuers
took a boat and began searching the
bay. in the hope of finding some of the
aerial navigators. Finally Melvin Vani-
mans body was found by a party in
launches belonging to Councilman
Henry Cook. The body was floating in
IAbsecon Bay. Although bruised it was
mot burned.
News that Vaniman had gone I'D for
ia practical trip early this morning
spread rapidly. Despite the early hour
thousands were soon gathered upon
the beaches and the streets Watching

lagainst the morning sky.
After obtaining an altitude of about
1000 feet the aerial pilot began putting
his craft through many fancy motions.
There was no wind. The air was clear

Ision came.
