tate to two nephews and Mrs. Charlotte
DonnelIy, his housekeeper. The children
are the contestants.
Mr.. Winters, who Is a brother-in-law
Of Mrs. DonneIIy, was a witness for the
contestants. He was Of the opinion that
Mr.. Singer was Irrational for five or six
years before he died. Here are some OF
the things he said caused him to think so:
Mr.. Singer. when sacred music was
played, danced The Serpentine Dance" :"
He told many war tales and claimed to
have been wounded in different battles
and always escaped with his life. He
initiated various animals. and said he
wished he was giraffe, so that when he
liked the taste Of anything he could

George Jones. a hotel clerk, testified
that Singer had told him he Singer was
a great phrenologist, and that the New

the bumps on Harry Thaw's head. Singer
also told Jones that Gen. Custer, the In
dian fighter, died by his own hand, and
was not shot by the Indians.

Speaker Champ Clark
Baltimore is a very good conven-

great conventions there, and the city
took care OF them well. What the
Democrats want this year is plenty
of hotel facilities and a large, we'll

THE POLITICAL PROCESSION

Col. Robert Grain, chairman of the
committee that secured the Democratic
national convention for Baltimore, came
quietly 10 the Willard last night There
was a subdued sort OF congratuIation
over Chairman Cranes victory, as he had
come but a few hours before from the
funeral of his mother, and his close
friends, while eager to do him honor for
his great efforts. indicated also their
sympathy. What wonder that Col. Crains
first word was one Of lament that his
dear mother could not have lived to
rejoice in what he had accomplished
Judge Bennett. Of West Virginia. father
in-law OF Col. Grain, was an early caller
after the committees decision, and with
due Difference to Col Grains hour OF
personal afiiction, few intimate friends
went to his rooms for a short season Of
congratulation,
1t was recalled by the jubilant advo-
Gates of Baltimore, who rejoiced in the
lobby that Col. Grain had taken hold
OF the convention proposition nearly a
year ago and had gone personally TO
every corporation and citizen worth
seeing in Baltimore to enlist support. both
moral and financial. Tne chorus of the
Baltimore contingent gave all honor to
Col Grain, with generous approval OF
all that had been done by others once
Col Grain had started the organization.
Somehow it got in the air Monday
afternoon that Baltimore would win. The
crafty managers of Woodrow Wilson
seemed to have an early tip that Balti-
more was already chosen in the minds
Of the committee members. So the phone
parlor. and an agile Wilson boomer asked
son, the new tavern in Baltimore. There
was quick connection, and Barse was
told to reserve his ten best parlor suites
for woodrow Wilson during the Demo-
cratic national convention. Barse had
something of a fainting spell to get
such a message day ahead, but hasten
ed to promise reservation. Then Hugh
Nichols, lieutenant governor OF Ohio. and
general manager for Judson Harmon.
heard OF the Wilson reservation, and he
hastened TO engage about twice as many
rooms as the Wilson manager had order
ed. Manager Barse was in a whirl all Of
Monday night answering calls from
Democratic managers, and the hotel was
practically sold out before the commit
tee actually voted TO make Baltimore
the convention city. There was Joy, too, |
among Washington tavern keepers, as
every Democrat who comes East for the
win stop at Washington GO
ing and coming, and some will remain |
here an through the convention, at least
to sleep.

venience in the transaction of our business. The

While Gov. Glasscock. OF West Vir-

Washington that he came with Mrs.
GlasscOck for othe diplomatic reception
at the White House, It was noted that
he found time for executive session con-
ferences with former Senator Scott. for
mer Senator Davis Elkins, Congress-
man Jim Hughes. and others Of the West
Virginia Republican contingent now in

ton among the faithful over the possibl.
going over OF home political conditions
by Scott and GlasscocR. Although fhe
governor kept out OF the recent con-
ference held here that picked Or. Hat
field as his successor in the governor :
once, the inclination OF Gov. Glasscock
in other years has been toward doing
business with the old Scott Elhins stand
pat organization, so that no one IN the
state would be amazed to see the gov
ernot giving appreciation 70 the plan for
'Hatfield's nomination. That the governor
retains power in Wes- Virginia politics
was indicated by the quick rush OF am
bilious. also anxious. Republicans from
home to see him. once they learned he

watson worked for Winner.

Senator Clarence Watson. Of West vir-
ginia, was given much congratulation
last night on the selection OF Baltimore,
as he has been quietly. at work for many
weeks. While Watson is from Falrmont,
he has long had large business interests
in Baltimore, and besides, has kept in
close touch with Maryland political af-
fairs. 1t might be added that Mrs. Wat
son is from Maryland and is loyal to
her home State and its metropolis Sena-
tor Watson modestly deprecated the
credit given him by the Baltimore COM
mittee, insisting that John T. McGraw.
the West Virginia member of the Ma
tional Committee, should be accorded
chief honor. Senator Chiffon and mem-
bers of the West Virginia delegation
were all active for Baltimore, but II
seems that the senior Senator went care
fully among Democratic Senators from
many States, quietly urging intercession
with their committee members.
