Is Elected For Temporary
Chairman.

| (By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
! Colorado Springs, Colo, April %
/ That Champ Clarks candidacy for the
presidential nomination on the Demo.
cratic national ticket would be en-
! dorsed by a practically unanimous
vote today at the state Democratic
! convention here was apparent just be-
fore the convention opened. Senti-
ment in his favor had grown rapidly
over night among the uninstructed
delegates.
Annis Temporary Chairman.
The state executive committee rec
commended Frank J. Annis. of Fort
Collins for temporary chairman and
Lemuel J. Smith, of Denver for tenn
porary secretary. The announcement
of the selection of Mr. Annis f., tenn
porary chairman in place of State
Senator W. II. Adams, of Conejos
county, caused some surprise. Rumors
were rife that the progressive faction
from Denver had succeeded in break.
ing the Speer machine 1t was said
that the Denver progressive leaders
after practically an all night confer
ence had forced former Governor Alva
Adams to cause the Pueblo delegation
10 break with the Speer organization
on pain of losing the support of the
progressives, and particularly of his
own county, in connection with his
senatorial aspirations.
This was scoffed at by leaders of
the Speer organization, who said that
Mr.. Annis selection meant merely an
effort on the part of all factions to
bring about harmony in the conven-
ton.
"DolIar" Breakfast.
w. H. Bryant of Denver, acted as
toastmaster at the dollar breakfast of

ley of Rocky Ford, former Governor
AIVa Adams of Pueblo NJ A. Skinner
OF Colorado Springs, and Thomas Ra
ney of Leadville. Scheduled to begin
at O'Clock the meal was delayed un-
til $50 in starting.
Endorsement of Clark Urged
Former Governor A. V. Dockery of
Missouri addressed the convention in
behalf of Champ Clark's candidacy.
He declared the Republican party was
divided on national issues and added
that "the election Of Champ Clark as
President would put the right man in
the right place at the right time; that
Clark as president would give every
one square deal, but not the Roose-
welt kind of a square deal"
At noon the convention took re-
cess to await reports of committees.

Declares Americans Are Safe.
DR.. Salton McGibbon, who has lived
eight years at Mazatlan, declared the
feeling of Mexicans for Americans
was better now than at any time in
the last thirty years.
Mexico has always felt suspicious
of the United States" said DR.. McGib-
bon, but President Taft has done
much to allay this feeling
DR.. McGibbon declared there were
no more than fifty Americans in Mazat-
Ian when he left and that they are in
no danger. Captain Francisco Miriam
da of the Benito Juarez confirmed this
report.
American Caution.
Washington, d. c., April 29.-The
torpedo boat destroyers Preble and
Perry, which slipped out of San Diego
harbor last night are under orders to
intercept the gunboat Yorktown by
wireless and tell her not to stop at
any Mexican port for coal. In view of
conditions prevailing in Mexico. it is
deemed inadvisable to have an Ameri-
can gunboat drop in at any of the
coastal cities.
Gunboat to San Diego.
Washington, D. c., April 29.-The
gunboat Yorktown is enroute to San
Diego from Guayaquil, Ecuador, and
had been stopping at various Central
American points, on the way up the
coast. She is accompanied by the
Collier Prometheus. Commander
Washington of the Yorktown, sent Il
radiogram to the department saying
he would PIT in at a Mexican port to
take more coal from the Prometheus.
AS the Yorktown left San Jose De
Guila last Tuesday and is now at sea,
the destroyers Preble and Perry were
ordered to get in communication and
tell her if it was all possible to try to
make San Diego without re-coaling.

Rupert Hughes Clever Comedy "Ex.
cuse Me-" Pleasing Little Farce.
One Of the newer farces, Rupert
Hughes comedy. Excuse Me-" owned
by Henry W. Savage, was presented
for the first time at the Odeon Satur-
day night and pleased a good sized
Saturday night audience. The idea de-
veloped in the play is a new and novel
one, and the comedy turnout is filed
with clever situations. Much of the
dialog is bright and funny. The cast
is a good one and up TO the average
maintained by the Savage companies.
The farce, which contains much that
Is highly improbable, has its setting in
a limited overland train, particularly in
one sleeper and the combination OBJ
servation and buffet car. The stage
settings show realistic interiors Of the
two cars.
The story has to do principally with
two young people who are clipping. and
who had expected to be married just
before catching the train. but an ac-
cident prevents this. The groom -to-be
Is forced to catch the train in order
that he may reach San Francisco in
time to board his steamer, and while
his sweetheart is bidding him good
bye in the vestfbule of the sleeper the
train pulls out. He induces her to re-
main on board in the hope that he can
find preacher on the train and be
married en- route. There is a preacher
I on the train but he has purposely hid
/ his identity, as he is off for a vaca-
j ton and a good time. Eventually the
couple gets married, but not until the

1.-THE GIRL FROM REcroR's"
At the New Odeon Tuesday Evening
jan g.

Jan. %.
It is doubtful II a play has been
seen in this city in many years that
has attracted such wide attention as
that accorded THE Girl From Rec
tors" The piece had its initial offer
ing in New Jersey and was brought to
Weber's music hall simply for metro
politan try-out but its success was so
great, it continued an interrupted run
of 300 nights and played to the biggest
business in the history Of the house.
Critics declare it is one of the few
productions Of its sort ever made that
carries with 1t a high class plot and
still contains laugh in every line Of
the dialog. Paul VI. Potter, the author
Of the work. who was also responsible
for "Trilby" and many other celebrated
stage successes, received more royal
ties from The Girl last season than
was paid any other writer for single
work in such short space Of time
The story of "The Girr' is that Of a
young society woman of Battle Creek,
Mich, who is interested in every char
ity there. For recreation, however, she
comes to New York and thru occas-
ional visits to Rectors earns the title.
When she returns suddenly to her
home she finds many Of her nietropoli-
tan friends there, and entanglements
ensue which are not explained until
just before the fall of the curtain on
the last act THE Girl" will be seen
at the New Odeon Tuesday evening.

Winter in Pioneer DAYS.

Editor Times Republican,: Much is
said about this months cold weather
and it brings to mind the winters OF
1865, 1856 and 1857, when a ton Of coal
had never been seen in Marshalltown
The order was. Go to the timber, cut

from December until April, and the
weather was so cold that the hoofs and
horns were frozen of the cattle. Al
a point two and one-half miles south
Of Marshalltown, on the Henry Moler
and John Campbell farms, several cat
tie lost their horns and hoofs by freez-
ing. Such was the extreme cold.
At early dawn the farmers started
out with their cows, oxen. and horses,
driving them for miles, made to break
the roads, and as those farthest from
town arrived at the next neighbor's,
they Joined in the procession and drove
also. This was done from all points
north. south, east and west-and by
this means all could reach Marshall
town and avail themselves of such
ed:b.es and clothes as were kept in
stock at the Wells S. Rice and E. Will
grod stores. Such was pioneer life.
When the snow had melted in the
spring many were the dead bodies OF
wolves. deer and prairie chickens to be
seen. Wild turkeys froze in the tim

found alive, SO poor and weak that
they could not fly and could be picked

grumble. Roasted corn and roasted
bread served as coffee and tea. Corn
