them the delegates at large would be
 uninstructed.
 Governor Hadley asserted he had 1 not been a party to any so-called "gentlemen's agreement" The gover-
 nor asserted that throughout the bit ter fight which preceded the formal opening of the convention he had re- fused to attempt to deliver the votes of the Roosevelt delegates on any proposition.
 The eight delegates at large, each with a one-half vote, follow:
 Governor Herbert s. Hadley, Jesse Tolerton of Bronson, Walter s. Dick ey of Kansas City, Fred Essen of Clayton, John D. McNeely, of St. Jos eph. Hugh McIndoe, of Joplin, John w. Tippin of Springfield, and Alfred H. Spear of Chamois. As national committeeman from Missouri to suc~ ceed Charles Nagel, secretary of commerce and labor, the convention elected Thomas K. Neidringhaus of St. Louis.
 The first fight of the convention came on the question of seating con- tested delegations from Kansas City, St. Joseph and other points. This fight occupied all of Wednesalay yanis shs and late The,rsday, resuatiug siin 4he seating of nearly all the Roosevelt delegates.
 The second contested point was that regarding chairman of the conven- tion, Governor Hadley was placed in that position after his followers had demonstrated that they held the bal ance of votes on the convention floor. The third struggle came in the res olutions committee. where Taft men refused to endorse Roosevelt. After the committee had submitted one re- port to the convention it was with drawn and an amplified report con-
 taining endorsement of Colone' Roosevelt vas presented and adopt ed by exclamation. A minority re- port was as promptly voted down on roll call,
 The final battle was on the ques- tion of the instruction of the eight delegates at large to the national conventipr. The Taft forces, led by members of the St. Louis delegation, made a last rally in efforts to prevent flat instruction for Roosevelt. But they were swept away by the now dominant Roosevelt tide, ana py vote of more than to 1, the Roosevelt forces carried their point.

THE AMERICAN SPIRIT.

Many thousands of dollars were raised in one day in New York City for the relief of the Titanic suffer- CTS and George M.

Conan ran through the streets Of the Metropolis with bundle of Am ericans and when the days work was done he had disposed of more than e2.OOO worth. Then Mr. Conan to make the sum bigger bought paper from himself for which he paid him self $5,OOO-giving $7,Ooo to the un- fortunate survivors through his eff forts.

NO MIDDLE.WESTERN TYPE.

(From Edward Alsworth Ross "Ihe
 Middle West" in the May Century,.
 There is California type, moulded by gold-hunting, the Sierra, the red woods, and an ocean that rolls to ones feet cocoanuts from the South Seas. There is, or rather was, southern type, the product of slavery, planta- ton life, kindly climate. and the English countrS-gentleman tradition. But there is no middle-western type to puzzle the customer, for there is in the Middle West no soul-mold that the East does not know. Along the Ohio and the Missouri one finds about the same sort of people to be found along the Connecticut, but they oc- cur in different proportions. It is this difference of proportion that fur nishes the key to middle-western so- ciety. sGs

There is a movement on foot to or ganize the Arkansas State Confer ence of Charities and Correction and a meeting is to be held at Little Rock on May 16 and IT for that pur- pose. Pine Bluff ought to be rep resented at this important meeting. But it. will first be necessary for this. city to organize United Char ities, which, was undertaken some weeks ago by local parties who were Interested in the movement The plans did not materialize, however, and the organization was never per fectfd. Pine. Bluff ought to have such an organization and it is not too late to launch one. The minis ters, and, others who are active in charitable work should organize and the Chamber of Commerce would gladly. cooperate with them in the m0veIhent.

 was no suppression of news of the wreck
 Members of the Senate committee i'll inquiring into the Titanic disaster who examined individually the Brit ish sailors and stewards of the Ti- tanic's crew, gathered early today in the office for Chairman Smith to per pare a report of their Investigations | fer the full committee.
 Only few of the members of the crew were found who could shed any light on the occurrence of the fatal night when the giant liner sank | into the sea that had not been elit- ed from the surviving officers ana passengers during the committee hearings. Though no announcement has been made it was reported about the committee room that those of the crew whose testimony is net to be taken in open session will be permitted to leave for theiw homes ! in England at once and that some Those retailed will be examined as | rapidly as possible. The efforts of the committee to expedite the examination of the Brit ish witnesses has given J. Bruce Is may, managing director of the In- ternational Mercantile Marine, and his associates, considerable relief which they have not hesitated to ex- press. MT. Ismay remained in Wash ington and is now expected to take the stand immediately after the mem- bers of the Titanic crew have been dismissed.
 It was necessary for women and children on the sinking Titanic to jump three feet, from the ships deck into the lifeboats and babies were tossed into the boats, according to testimony given by o. A. Evans, one of the Titanic's crew. Evans credited this method of loading the boats with the heavy loss of life among the women and children. Evans was examined by Senator Smith last night and the purport of his testl- mcny was made public today. 5 Evans told Senator 6vSmith that when the boats were swung out they were at least three feet from the steamerr's deck, which was 70 feet above the sea Tie height was so terrifying that the women refused to attempt to jump. Several were ! thrown bodily across the gap, Evans said. and one was propelled with such fierce that she went far over the far side of the boat and and was saved from plunging into the sea only by her shoe which caught in an oar-lock.
 Babies and children" said Evans "were tossed into the boats like sacks of grain. There was no other way.' .. ie;ti,,= l Senator Smith announced that a lamp trimmer on the Titanic whom he examined last night declared there were no lights in the lifeboats. He said that after four boats had cleared he went to the storeroom and dls- covered the lamps, flares and OH there. Hurriedly he equipped as many of the remaining boats as ne could.
 Other senators of she committee put in a strenuous night With their ouotas of witnesses, but none fln- ished with his share of the worK ol | o1 ticr

EASTER VACATION OVER
AND PUPILS ARE BUSY

Those who have noticed a some
thing lacking in the life of Ell Centro
for the past week will have rightly
concluded what the deficiency was
with the return of the grammar school
children today.
Both the teachers and the pupils
had reached that point where a vaca-
tion seemed imperative. 1t is a long
time from January ] to June ], and
while spring vacation is a new idea
in Imperial valley we are sure it is
time well spent. The teachers in all
the grades reported how restless and
almost Indifferent to school work the
pupils had become. The pupils and
teachers both lose a grip on the work
and each other without these breaks
to relieve the constancy and monot-
ony Of the grind.
There are seven remaining weeks of
school which, with the renewed
strength and energy gained during
the vacation, viii splenGidly complete
the work in all the grades for the
year.
Much OF the work from now on viii
be drill and review, especially in the
eighth grade.
Already the review in United States
history has begun and a week hence
the review in arithmetic and gram
mar Will commence. These are the
