7. R. WANTS ,HADLEY.
The Colonel Asks Governor to Take
the Craftsmanship If

Jefferson City, Mo-, May 28.-In a
letter received by Governor Herbert s.
Hadley. Colonel Roosevelt asked him
to be temporary chairman of the Re-
publican convention to be held in Chi
cago. if the Roosevelt forces succeed
in getting control of the convention.
Mr.. Hadley will accept the temporary
Craftsmanship if he believes he can best
serve his faction of the party, it was
announced, but would greatly prefer
that some other progressive Republi-
can be selected for the place. He 50
told the colonel in answer to his re-
quest.
Governor Hadley was one of the eight
governors who wrote to Colonel Roost-
velt asking him to become a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
president, before the colonel announced
he would accept the nomination. He
also was one of the leaders of the
Roosevelt faction of the party in the
Republican state convention at ST.
Louis and was elected chairman of the
convention after having been defeat ted
for the temporary craftsmanship in
committee by the Taft adherents.
IT was announced several days ago
from Washington that Governor Had
lev was one of the four men who would
be considered for the temporary chair
manship of the Chicago convention, IN
case the Roosevelt forces secured con-
troll, but the lstter received from Colo
mel Roosevelt is the first intimation
that the Missouri executive is his per-
sonal choice for the place.

Topeka HOrseman's Will Di-
vides $4,000.
Half Goes to WidOW-Remain-
der Goes to Children.

One of the largest estates probated
in Shawnee county in several years
was admitted to probate today when
executors offered the will of the late
Robert I Lee. An inventory of the
property gives the value of the es-
tate at nearly s95,oOO. All of the
property is bequeathed to the widow
and three children.
Under the provisions of the will,
the real estate-valued at $86,140-
will not be sold until such time as the
elder of the possible descendants of
the three children shall have attained
their majority. Provision is also made
that the rights of a beneficiary shall
be denied in event of litigation to con-
test the will.
In the early paragraphs of his will,
Lee makes bequests of pictures, paint
ings, silverware and heirlooms to the
three children and the widow. Later
specific arrangement is made for the
division of the property rights. I'm
der this provision the widow, Abbie K.
Lee shall receive One-half of the eS-
tate. To each of the three children,
Helen Lee VanHorn, Thomas AmOry
Lee and Louise Lee, is beQueathed a
one-sixth interest This inheritance
shall proceed by natural descendency
until at such time as provided, when
the real estate may be sold. In event
of the death of one of the beneficiar
les, stipulation is made that the bene-
fciarieS' interests may be disposed of
and the income divided among the liv-
ing heirs.
In accordance with the terms of the
will Frank H. Foster, Thomas Amory
Lee and John Abrahams are named as
trustees of the estate. Each shall pro-
vide a $4,000 bond.
Abbie K. Lee, the widow, and
Thomas Amory Lee, the son. are nam
ed as executors. The inventory of the
property rights is unusually lengthy.
In the list of real estate holdings is
much valuable property both in To-
peka and Kansas City. The most val
liable individual plot is a list of lots
on Jackson street, Kansas City, Mo,
will filed with the inventory, cover
ten typewritten pages.

Burning Property of Americans.
CALLED TO OYSTER BAY
Illinois Delegates Are Invited to Visit
Col. Roosevelt.

Chicago, May 2S.-IIIinois delegates
instructed for Roosevelt were invited
today to visit Oyster Bay next Satur-
day. The object of the meeting, the
Roosevelt leaders declared, was to
discuss plans for concerted action by
the central states delegates in ad-
Vancing the candidacy of Col. Roose-
Welt.
Chicago Roosevelt supporters be-
lieve the position of the former presi-
dent on the proposed election of SEN
ator Root as temporary chairman of
the national convention will be clearly
defined at the Saturday meeting. The
invitation came through Medill Nc
Cormick, Ormsby McHarg, who has
charge of the Roosevelt contests for
delegates declared that his prepara-
tions were practically complete for
the contest committee hearings which
are to begin June s. He asserted that
regardless of the outcome of the dele
gate contests Col. Roosevelt would be
the Republican nominee.
There will be about 26O contests
said Mr.. McHarg, 'and we expect to
win at least a majority of them for
Col. Roosevelt although he can be
nominated without winning a contest.
President Taft knows this and has
known it for weeks. Col. Roosevelt
is the only Republican who can be
elected"
Mr.. McHarg declared that he ex-
pected TO win the contests on the In
diana delegates at large where the
attack is aimed at Col. Harry S.
New, chairman of the subcommittee
on arrangements for the convention,
and also the Missouri delegates at
large.
Two Women Delegates.
Credentials from $50 of 1875 dele
gates to the Republican national con-
vention have been received by Sec
retary Hayward of the national COM
mittee. In the list are the names of
two women delegates at large elected
in the California direct primary. Mrs.
Florence Collins Porter and Mrs Isa-
bella w. Blaney, of San Francisco.
Notice of contests were received to-
day from 18th congressional district
of Indiana and from Florida. The
Florida contest is the third received
and includes an entirely new set of
delegates at large and from the First,
Second and Third districts of the
state. The time limit on contests ex-
pire tomorrow but as the call was
worded that contests should be for
warded by May 20, it is likely that
the committee will continue to receive
belated notices for several days. Chap
lains appointed for the convention
follow: Rev. Jas. F. allagHan, of
ST. Malachi's Roman Catholic church;
Rev. Joseph Stolz of Isaiah Temple;
Rev. John Balcom Shaw of Second
Presbyterian church, Dean Walter 7.

when it became generally known that
Roberto Almada, the millionaire mem
Der of one of the chief families of
Sinaloa, had been secretly executed

sued for a pardon and believing that
it was granted came to Mazatlan ten
days ago. He was arrested, tried,
found guilty of treason.
The American consul at Durango

NUDGE SLIPS OUT
President of Rock Island Mo-
tors Through Kansas.
Nothing to Say About Railroads
Sees Bumper Crop.

H. U. Nudge, president of the Rock
Island Lines and one of the most well
known railroad men in the country,
slipped into Topeka Monday after
noon and slipped out again-with no
one the wiser. H. came here in a
motor car driven by one of his sons
after a rip through southern Kansas.
He left with Mrs Nudge in his private
car attached to train No II.
President Nudge was on a business
trip in southern Kansas. Nothing to
do with the railroad, though he in
sisted.
Il doa't believe I have ever seen the
country looking so good" commented
the Rock Island president. I'VE made
a good many miles in the machine
right next to the grass roots and I
was able to see more of Kansas than
1 have since lived in Topeka a good
many years ago. Prospects for an ex-
cellent crop in Kansas this season look
exceptionally bright
President Nudge would have moth
ing to say concerning the 1912 budget
of the RCck Island. It is too near the
end of the fiscal year to procure ex-
penditure statements from railway Of

of Promise Judgment.

Sioux Falls, S. D.. May 2s.-On a
Judgment for $4,000, rendered in the
United states court of appeals, Miss
Ella Bay of Menominee, Mich, today
received a check for $28,s2s.52. which
includes interest since the verdict was
returneI in her favor in the fall of
1910, in her suit against James 5. San
born of Puckwana, S. D, for breach
of promise. The case was bitterly
fought Tor four years and finally car
ried to the United States court of ap-
peals.
The case was peculiar as one of the

was proven. The woman worked as
secretary of a lumber concern at
Menomioee, Mich, at a salary of
$4,000 yearly and resigned on San
born's request t. marry.
