PREPARATIONS
COMPLETE FOR
THE PHOTO MEN
Iowa Photo Men Gathering
in Ottumwa for Three Day

Already Arrived.

Ohicers and delegates to the con-
vention of the Iowa photographers
have been arriving throughout the day
and by night all of the officers and a
large number of the delegates will be

convention at which 800 delegates are
expected to be present. The Utt build
ing, the third floor of which will be
given over to the convention, has been
in the hands of the committee Of pre-
paration all day. The fact that the
Iowa organization of photographers is
second only to the New York associa-
ton, gives one some idea Of the i'm
portance Of the meeting to be held
here for three days this week. The
convention begins Tuesday May
and for the following two days will be
in full swing. A feature Of the con-
vention will be the open day for the
public, Thursday when Juan c. Abel
of Cleveland, Ohio, will give special
lecture. The public is especially in
vited to attend this lecture and the
prominence of Mr.. Abel in the field of
pictures should bring out a large
gathering. -
Among those who have thus far ar
rived are:
Mr.. and Mrs w. s. Lively, McMinn-
Vile, Tenn, S. A. Anderson, Cedar
Rapids Sydney w. Whitman. New
York City, Mr.. and Mrs. H. E. Link,
Centerville, r. A. Steinhaus, Cherokee,
III. w. Flint, Waterloo, F. A. Free,

The program for tomorrow will con-
sist Of a reception to the delegates at
the convention hall, and in the evening
a ball will be given in the third floor OF
the building. .

nesday morning at 9 a. m: with the ad-
dress of welcome. From then on to

TEXAS RESULT
STILL IN DOUBT
CHOICE between TAFT, RooSE'
Welt, WILSON AND HARMON
NOT SETTLED.

Dallas, Tex, May Cit will require
the county conventions tomorrow and
possibly the state convention on May
% to decide whether Taft or Roosevelt
for the republicans, and Wilson or
Harmon for the democrats will receive
the Texas delegations to the respec-
tive national conventions.
Results Of Saturdays precinct prim-
aries today showed Wilson strength
that surprised the Harmon leaders,
making him the favorite for the county
conventions tomorrow on the face OF
the returns. The Harmon people
point out, however, that the full re-
suit OF the primary voting will not be
known until the county conventions
meet and they claim that 1t Is likely
to take the state convention to render
a final choice. "s.
The result as between Taft and
Roosevelt is left in even more doubt.
The republicans have their county con-
yentions tomorrow simultaneously
with the democrats.
Cecil A. Lyon, republican national
committeeman from Texas, ana hoose-
welt leader for his state, issued a
statement today claiming II out OF
the 16 congressional districts Tor
Roosevelt, and declared that Roose-
welt would probably carry all OF the
districts.
Col. Lyon denounced an alleged at
tempt in Saturdays convention In his
home district in Sherman to disqual-
ify as a citizen of Texas on the
ground that his wife is not resident
of Texas.
Mrs. Lyon resides in Colorado
Springs, Colo, on account OF her
health. Col Lyon, however, has re-
sided in Sherman, Texas, for 36 years
Arkansas Convention Tomorrow.
Little Rock, Ark, May 6.-Taft and
Roosevelt forces in Arkansas will

publican convention tonight probably

claim regularity for the meeting they
will have and the Roosevelt workers
make counter CldlAo. h0 SSANSSS
will be carried to Chicago.
The Roosevelt republican league OF
Arkansas and the republican state Gen.
tral committee will have meetings to-
night in advance Of the state conven-
ton which will take place tomorrow.
Whether the Roosevelt workers Will
enter county protests to the commit
tee tonight or wait for tomorrow
convention has not been determined.
Both sides, express confidence IN the
outcome Of the state convention.
Clark Men Claim Washington.
Walla Walla, Wash. May 6.-Senti-
ment among delegates to the demo
cratic state convention here today lies
between Speaker Clark and Woodrow
Wilson with predictions favoring the
former. Clark leaders claim major
ity of from Is to 100 Of the 719 dele

LANDS TREATED
Methodist General Confer
ence at Minneapolis With
holds From Records Reso-
luton on This Question.

Minneapolis, Mimi, May 6.-Stren-
uous discussion of the attitude OF the

spect to mission work in so-called Ro-
man Catholic countries was caused at
the close of the business session OF
the general conference Of the church
here today with the presentation OF
a resolution by William F. Rice or
Santiago, Chile. ...s
Mr. Rice in his talk, after present
ing the resolution, dealt with the al
legged difficulties of Protestant work
In such countries, but by order of the
conference the resolution itself was
withheld from both the church and
secular press and an amendment was
adopted submitting the resolution to a
committee of five to be reported on
Wednesday. ~
Impassioned addresses were made
by Mr.. Rice and other workers In for
eign lands, while other speeches were
made urging further consideration OF
the resolution and the necessity OF
deliberation before taking action.
A substitute which was presented
by DR.. James NJ. Buckley and which
finally was accepted, surrendered the
resolution to committee of tive to be
reported out on Wednesday. Follow
ing this action the conference voted
practically unanimously to withhold
copy of Mr.. Rice's resolution from
the records. -.,- ..
At numerous times during the ses-
sion today the amusement question
and the election Of bishops of their
own race for the negro churches OF
the SOUTH came before the conference
but in all cases. by order. of the con-
ference "were not considered.
A resolution presented by r. w.
Key OF Tennessee urging that the
congress of the United States make
and mob violence "a crime
against the federal government also
was killed by the conference. 1t may
be brought up on the floor later. -
The Americanizing and Christian
izing of the; millions who are coming
to this country from various parts OF
the world is one Of the greatest prob
lens of the church today, according
to the report Of the board OF home mis-
sions and church extensions made to
the conference today. The total ap-
preparation for work among non-Eng-
Iish speaking people in the United
States according to the report IS
$619,76S
"The immigration problem is a fact
that Is fast involving all national prob
slems," says the report. "One-half OF
the people of the United States are
foreign born, or Of foreign parentage.
The thirty-three largest cities OF the
union are more foreign than Ameri'
can.
"The question of immigration has
grown until it includes most OF our
ether problems. 1t means tenements
where people are herded like cattle
and in surroundings more unsani.ary.
New york has more rooms without
windows than any city of the world
369 ,O00-largely peopled by foreign
ers. This means disease, the sweat
shops and the slums." IT,.
In connection with the church ex-
tension the report says that an aver
age Of one church a day has been
aided for a generation Of time, and
that the total net receipts from 1865
to October 81, 1911. including home
missions, is $14,562,754.63. ... - d

ern section of the city through Howen
stein enterprise.
Last season he built 100 houses in this
section of the city.
Another large building enterprise which
has been going on for several seasons is
the building by Kennedy Bros. of the
entire square which is bounded by 9th
and 7th streets and Maryland avenue and
f. street northeast. This season the new
houses to be added to the pleasing group
are located on Lexington street. which
runs east and west through the square.
The houses are to be on each side of the
street. but thus far only the foundations
have been laid and the walls have hard
ly begun to show above the surface.
On the north side of East Capitol street.
between 18th and 14th streets a row OF
houses is being built by r. G. Hess.

Building operations in the eastern sec
ton Of the city as at present planned ana
under execution will be directed TINS
season to adding to the number OF homes
and in this particular the feature vi
former seasons will be continued. AS the
season to adding to the number OF homes,
the line of such Improvements has peeh
gradually pushed farther and farther 10
the east, so that the original limits OF the
city have been reached in some places
and in others have been passed.
1t is quite evident that the providing OIL
additional houses is meeting demand
because the same builders are at work
again this year. From their experience
with the market they feel justified in CON
tinuing the building of entire squares OF
houses. The extension of street railway
lines has had much to 90 with the excel
lent market for homes i'll this locality, as
may be seen from the way new houses
have followed along the crosstoWn Inc
of the Capital Traction Company on Sth
street east.
further Improvement of the street car
service is expected to follow the build
ing Of a line along 18th street east, from
East Capitol street to ii street ana Mary
land avenue, and the extension OIL the
G. and D streets line east from 18th street
to 18th street. Authority has been asked
from Congress to build this line, and If it
Is obtained it then will be possible to ad-
lust the schedules of the three lines to
better suit the public needs.
May Use Car Barn Site.
Another result will be secured, since
there then will be no need for the car
barn at 18th and u streets northeast,
and. in consequence. the structure, whlch
was recently burned, will not be rebuilt.
In that event large plot of ground Will
be available for building purposes, and 1t
Is understood that an option has already
been secured on the property by build
er who will improve it with houses.
In this locality II. r. Howenstein d
Co. are adding to the number or houses
which were built last year. At the south
east corner of 10th and u streets north
east seven two-story houses are being
built, each having six or eight rooms ana
bath.
A group of houses of similar size is also
being built by the Howensteln company
on 9TH and 9th streets between II and L
streets northeast, while in the southeast
ern section, through the same agency,
seven two-story siX-roOm houses are be-
ing erected on the north side Of G. street
between 18th and 14th streets, in a To-
cality where the Howenstein company
in previous seasons has been active in
adding to the number of houses.
Other Rows Planned.
These groups of houses will be COM
pleted and then others will be started by
the Howenstein company, so that when
the building season is ended fully 10
houses will have been added to the east

field blvd, celebrated Goth birth
day last night.
Williams was friend of Lafay-
cite, by whom he was named. But
he says he's still a kid, and danced
a jig just to prove it.
The Burlington railroad has
fixed the blame for the Western
Springs wreck. And the fixing
is interesting.
The Burlington finds the engi-
neer of the fast mail was to blame
because he could not stop the
train he was forced to run at 20
miles an hour to be on time.
And it also finds the fagman
of the Limited to blame because
he did not walk far enough back
on the track, through the fog, to
warn the mail.
Curiously, the Burlington does
not lay any blame on itself. 1t
says nothing about why two ex-
press trains were being run only
II minutes apart.
The history of that fast mail is
interesting, too. 1t isn't long since
the mail contract was offered by
the government. 1t was worth
ST 100000, and the competition
between the Western railroads
was keen.
The Burlington won, which ex-
plains why it was running two
express trains II minutes apart,
and why the engineer of the mail
was running 70 miles an hour
through fog.
