Calls Result in Massachusetts Great
Victory for Roosevelt.

Chicago, May Gov. w. R. Stubs
of Kansas, fresh. from the Roosevelt
Taft campaign in Massachusetts, while
here declared the result from a Roose-
velt standpoint to be the greatest per
scnal political victory which has been
achieved by any man in current po-
litical history.
Action of Colonel Roosevelt in re-
leasing to President Taft the eight del
egates at large from Massachusetts
Governor Stubs set down as splendid
in its conception and thoroughly char
acteristic of. Colonel Roosevelt.
s'Great news was the word of Gov
ernor Stubs as he entered the Roose-
welt national headquarters at the Con-
gress hotel. Colonel Roosevelt is CIV
ing away delegates, while the presl-
dents representatives are busy trying
to seize others
The Kansas executive said that for
Colonel Roosevelt to have won one dele
gate in Massachusetts in face of the
situation with which he was confronted
would have been a splendid victory in
itself.

FLAG is TORN Down.
Stars and Stripes Trampled in the Dust
at May Day Meeting.

New York, May 2.-The stars and
stripes was torn down and trampled
under foot, and a red flag substituted
during a fierce fight at a May day
meeting of the Socialist party and
affiliated unions, in Union Square park.
That serious panic did not enSue is
believed to have been due to the fact
that thousands of persons in the out
skirts of the crowd did not know what
the trouble was. Responsibility for the
tearing down of the flag is disclaimed
by the Socialists, who assert that mem
bers of the Industrial Workers of the
World committed the act. The Social
ist representatives on the platform ap-
pear to have done their best to protect
the national colors.
The trouble started at the conclusion
Of a parade of 5000 men and women
who gathered in the park for speech
making. Red banners, the emblems of
Socialism, already adorned the speak
ers' platform and the band was play
ing the "Marseillaise'' when the stars
and stripes was carried to the stand as
the first speaker was about to be in
troduced. Instantly there was the
widest excitement.
Take that dirty rag down. went up
cry from the crowd. But those on
the platform held their ground and
some with cooler heads tried to quiet
the tumult that had broken out
I'VE don't recognize that flag" cried
man in front as he tired to reach the
platform. That cry was taken up by
others, number of whom fought their
way to the platform. Some of those
on the platform tried to protect the
flag and a fist fight resulted in which
lone policeman was the only officer
who figured. His club knocked three
men down. Several were tossed bodily
over the platform railing into the
crowd. Bloody faces were numerous.
The big American flag was finally
torn down and hurled to the ground
Miss Caroline Dexter, member of the
Socialist party, a tall muscular wom-
an, elbowed her way to where the
fallen banner lay.
Men like you should be shot" she
cried. as she gathered up the flag. She
met no resistance, and carried the flag
home with her.
With nothing but red banners to
decorate the platform, the meeting
proceeded, but the program as ar
ranged by the Socialist party had to |
be given up as the speakers were most |
" from the ranks of the Industrial |
Workers of the World.

SCORES To Be BURIED
Seventy or Eighty of the Titanic to Be
Inferred at Halifax.

Halifax, May 1.-The last identified
dead recovered from the lost Titanic
probably will leave Halifax today and
tomorrow, after which those bodies
that remain will be buried in three
cemeteries here overlooking the sea.
No further identifications were made
today.
Some seventy or eighty burials will
be made tomorrow. Not all of the
ceremonies will be over unidentified
dead for the relatives CT many that
have been identified have found graves
for them here. The belief here is
that the cable ship Nina, which is ex-
pected in port next week, has picked
up practically all the bodies that re-
main to be found.
The Minia's captain has been noti-
fed to refrain from sending word of
any further recoveries unless the new
" discovered bodies are identified,
since the mere mention OF finding more
bodies might arouse false hopes in
those whose dead still are missing.

Clarence Catlin, aged IL years, who
rooms at 522 Kansas avenue, and Roy
Cramer, aged Is years, who lives at 21s
Monroe street. are two OF gang OF
three boys who burglarized the store

home about IL o'clock Wednesday
night.
After being taken to the police sta
ton the Catlin boy admitted that he
and the Cramer boy and Clarence
Hicks were the three who burglar1zed
the store. He told a complete story.
He said that he and Clarence HICKS
went into the store about O'Clock
rear room after drink of water. Whle
in the rear room, Hicks unlocked the
rear window.
They left the place and visited the
carnival shows at the City park. Al
ter visiting the shows they idled around
went to burglarize the store He SAID
that Roy Cramer and Clarence HICKS
raised the window and went in and that
he staid outside as a lookout. 1t was
planned that if he saw any one COM
ing that he would warn the other boys
by tapping on the window and then
run away. Upon hearing the alarm
the boys inside had planned to hide
inside the building.
They were not disturbed. He then
told the officers about the boys divid-
ing the money after they left the place
and much other detail which the Off
GERS sought.
Catlin and Roy Cramer were allowed
to occupy the same quarters in the
city Jail after the arrest of the latter.
Cramer induced Catlin to tell the Of
hcers that he had told lie and did
tell the officers this tory this morning
but after a cross-examination he weak
ened and finally admitted the truth.
Cramer has refused to tell the same
story as told by Catlin and denies that
ne has any knowledge of the affair
The police are looking for Clarence

THE HEART LIVES ON.
Tissue Taken From 1t Pulsates for
Several Days.

| New York, May Am account of
some remarkable experiments made at
the Rockefeller Institute for Medical
Research with tissues from the heart,
| is given by DIR. Alexis Carrel, direc-
tor of the institute, in report just
published here. DR.. Carrel announces
that he was able to keep pieces of the
heart tissue pulsating automatically
outside the organism from which
they were taken for more than two
months The fragments were pre-
served in glass jars, in suitable
media.
The experiments are part of a Sc
ries to determine whether or not the
life of tissue can be prolonged IN
definitely outside the body. In this
connection DIR. Carrel expresses this
opinion:
ut is conceivable that the length
of the life of a tissue outside of the
organism could exceed greatly its nor
NAL duration in the body, because ele-
mental death might be postponed in
definitely by proper artificial nutr1-
ton
Then follows this statement:
Subsequently I developed other
techniques by which it may be pos
sible to obtain permanent life of
tissues"
In one of the experiments cited,
fragment of heart tissue, cultivated IN
hyptonic plasma, pulsated regularly
Tor several Gays ana grew cAlChSANO-
ly. After two months the tissue was
dissected and a small central frag-
ment removed and put in new me-
dunn. 1t was found to be pulsating
at a rate that varied between 60 and
1O4 beats a minute. OF this and
other specimens. DR.. Carrel says:
Generally, the tissues seemed,
after q time, to adapt themselves to
their new condition and very few Gull
lures died spontaneously. In han
ding. the cultures were exposed to
many accidents and microbian infec-
lions.
I'm case of a local infection the
part not infected was resected with
cataract knife and placed in new
medium Often the culture recoV-
cred and produced several generations
of cells that were free from microbian
infection. But when infection was
generalized, the tissues always died
rapidly. Many cultures oleo OF

But Mr.. Bliss and his friends were

the note for more than four years.
the first Mckinley campaign-that of
1S96-made it possible to take up this
note.
The late William c. Whitney was
either the maker or indorser of a note
the discounting of which secured
money enough to pay the debts of the
Democratic national committee in one
of the Cleveland campaigns. That
note was carried for four years and
it has always been the impression
among Mr.. Whitney's friends that he
paid the interest But at the beginn-
ing of the next presidential campaign
this obligation. Mr.. Whitney was sat
isfied with the payment of the note.
He did not ask to be reimbursed for
the interest.

publican committee four years ago,

ance with a number of precedents.
The Center of Population.
According to statement made pub
lie yesterday by the census bureau at
washington the male population OF the
United States twenty-one years and
over-that is to say, the voting popu-
lation-is almost exactly twenty-seven
millions. These are the figures re
turned by the census of 1910. The
census bureau, however, omits to
state that the great proportion of this
voting population lives in a zone BIZ
sected by the thirty-ninth parallel OF
latitude. However rapidly our popu-
lation moves toward the west and
however great the increase in a dec
ade of the voting pculation Git was
between 1900 and 1910, a little over
five millions) nevertheless the popula-
ton marches steadily and unyield- |
lngly along the thirty-ninth parallel
The first center was a little north and |
west of Baltimore. And although the |
center has moved uEfailingly toward !
the west in the past hundred years |
nevertheless it has moved along the |
zone identified by the thirty-ninth par |
allel of latitude. Some who have |
studied this movement of population |
ire wondering whether after the CEN
.er of population has passed across
he Mississippi river, this tendency
Will be maintained or whether there
Will be an oblique movement, either
oward the northwest tor toward the |

New York, May 2.-The presenta-
ton of the bust of La France" by

a banquet given last night in honor of
the French delegation, headed by
Gabriel Hanotaux, former foreign

minister of public works; Baron
D'Estournelles de Constant, Acting
Governor Conway of New York, and
others.

err and in the name of President Taft,
the bust and extended
French embassy which formally pre-
scented it.
He also paid a high tribute to the
illustriouS Frenchmen whose names
are woven in American history. He
euIogized Champlain and gave him
the credit of being the first to lay
before the world the project of the
Panama canal, saying that in 1899,
called attention to the fact
that a canal across the isthmus of
Panama would shorten the distance
from Spain to Peru by 1900 leagues.

Henderson, KY, May 2.-Watchful
guardians kept weapons and poisons
out of reach of Helen Smith of
Onton, KY, who was possessed of a
suicidal mania, so yesterday afternoon
she took some matches and a can of
coal oil to secluded part of her faith

she screamed for help, but when
found, she was unconscious, burned
