MAY NOT Be HILLES.
Taft Will Not Insist on His Being Ma
tiOnaI Chairman.

Beverly, July 6.-Although Presi-
dent Taft has favored the appoint
ment of his secretary, c. D. Hilles, as
chairman of the Republican commit
tee with the active leadership of his
campaign for reelection he will not
insist if the national committee holds
different views. In addition to Mr..
Hil1es, VIM. Barnes of New York and
former Representative Herbert Par
sons of the same state, have been
mentioned as possible chairman. OBJ
jections have been raised against
both just as they have been raised
against Mr.. Hilles.
On the night of his nomination the
president wrote a telegram to the ma
tional committee then in Chicago,
stating that he would like to have Mr..
Hilles made its chairman. That tele
gram was not sent. Mr.. Hilles himself
persuaded the president not to make
a decision at that time but to await
the conference with the subcommittee
then already appointed.
1t is known after Mr.. Hilles return
ed to Washington he pointed to the
work he had done in the preconven-
ton campaign and said he could be of
great assistance in his present posi-
ton of secretary in the pre- election
days. The president it is said saw the
force of his argument and will not de-
mand his appointment, Monday if the
subcommittee backs another man who
meets with Mr.. Taft's approval.

USES STEAM ROLLER.
President Women's Clubs Gets Around
Suffrage Proposition.

San Francisco, July 6.-An exciting
incident featured the passing into his
tory last night of the eleventh biennial
convention of the General Federation
of Womens Clubs. 1t grew out of a
final effort on the part of the ardent
supporters of equal suffrage to obtain
the federation's endorsement of their
propaganda.
AS the president, Mrs. Philip N.
Moore of st. Louis, stepped to the
front of the platform to read some let
ters, Miss Alice Henry, a delegate
from Illinois, arose and made a
motion that inasmuch as the conven--
ton: had given endorsement to the
work in the interest of world peace,
of Baroness Bertha Won Suttner, lit
is now the sense of this convention
that the work of Susan B. Anthony be
endorsed" The motion was promptly
seconded.
Mrs. Moore. who had displayed sig
nal ability as a presiding officer, was
not in the least frustrated by the un-
expected motion, but calmly and with
a smile she put the "steafn roller in
motion, and when-~sh was through
the motion had been flattened out. =,
''The motion is before the house" )"
said Mrs. Moore, "and it will be given
to the press
Then she calmly proceeded to read
the letters she held, one from Dr. Har-
vey w. Wiley, the other from J. Hor-
ace Mcfarland, president of the
American Civic Federation.
After the reading of the letters. in
which she presented Miss Julia Lath-
rop, chief of the children's bureau, to
the convention, Mrs. Frederick Nathan
of New York demanded a vote upon
Miss Henry's motion. From various
parts of the hall arose cries of "ques-
ton, question"
Mrs. Moore again faced the audience
with a smile and serenely said:
This is the presid ent's evening.
The motion will be given to the press"
There was a gasp of surprise from
Miss Henry and the other supporters
of the motion. Then the business of
the evening was quietly concluded.
DecisiveIy the matter of suffrage had
been given it's quietus so far as it's en-
dorsement by the federation was con-

SHAVE JACKS END
Black Receives Only $4,000
for Whipping Flynn.
Fireman Gets $4,000 and Cost
Iy Automobile.
CRv 81 W.. smith.l

East Las Vegas, N. NJ, July 6.-The
last of the fighting crowd pulled out
of Vegas today on the. California Limi-
ted. Jim Flynn and his cook, Chic
Coleman, going to Pueblo, his home
town, while Manager and Promoter
Jack Curley and his bride were on the
same train bound for Chicago.
Flynn departed from Vegas without
any considerable regret and with $4,000
safely slowed away in the heel of his
shoe.
This is what Jim received for his
share of the doings on the afternoon
of the Fourth.
In addition Curley, despite the heavy
financial loss he suffered in the final
settlement, gave Flynn the big Benz
car that ne promised him if he would
win, the battle. Because of the shortage
of coin Curley, the soul of honor, de-
cided to make good with Flynn on the
machine. So it was bundled into an
express car this afternoon and shipped
to Pueblo, where Flynn will take
few lessons and then drive the car him
self.
The financial statement of the affair
was issued this afternoon. Jack John
son, winner of the contest, received but
$21, 100 for his two months work in
stead of the $31, 100 promised. johnson
got s1,100 before he left Chicago tc
begin training for the battle here but
two days before the contest when
things looked extremely bad for big
house, he agreed with Manager Cur
ley to take less. So he received, it is
said, S12, 900 in cash and notes, well Sc
cured, for $4,000 before the fight. These
were taken up later. He appeared well
with this settlement
The gate receipts amounted to a tri-
fe less than $2S, ,0OO0 This is how Flynn
came to get $4,000 for he received what
was left after johnson had received
his $4,000. In addition he got the car
which is said to be worth Sc 900 new
and has been in use less than a year

TELL OF KILLING
Witnesses Stories of Howard
Shooting Do Not Agree.
Doctor Tells of WOund-Lynch
Saw Men Meet.

| Persons who witnesses the trouble
between Henry Moody and Morgan
| Howard, differ in their testim mony
about the affair, Some contend that
| Howard did not attack Moody and did
not have any weapon in his hand,
| while others contend the contrary
Coroner H. W. Bumgardner began
the inquest to fix the cause of the
| shooting at 10:45 o'clock this morn
ing and it is likely that the entire day
will be necessary in examining the wit
neSSes.
Fred Lynch, who lives on East Fifth
street. was one of the best witnesses
on the stand during the morning ses-
sion. His brother Charlie also made
good witness. number of other
witnesses were negroes who had a
faulty memory.
Fred Lynch was in the second story
of his home when the men met in the
alley and witnessed the affair. He did
not see anything in HOward's hand
but testified that Howard struck at
Moody soon after meeting him in the
alley and the shooting followed. He
did not hear any conversation between
the men before or after the shooting.
DR.. F. J. Ernest, who performed the
post mortem examination, was the
first witness called. He explained the
course of the bullet, and in his opin-
ion Morgan Howard raised his left
arm Moody fired the shot. The
bullet struck him in the fleshy part
of the arm and passed through, strik-
ing the jaw bone and ranging down
ward and behind the collar bone thus
puncturing a large artery and causing
death.
Mrs. Henry Waddington, who saw
the shooting, thought that Howard
was standing with his arms at his side
but Fred Lynch and a number of 9TH
ers affirmed the opinion of DR..
Ernest.
The witnesses are being examined
by Assistant County Attorney Mcclure
and the defendant, Henry Moody is
represented by w. E. Atchison. ]. J.
Schenck has been retained by the de-
fendant but was not in the court room.
The evidence appeared to favor
Moody. The hearing was continued at
1:30 this afternoon and will probably
be completed late in the day.

Company Reported Begun.

Denver, Colo, July "a rumor that

interests, that the control of the Western
Packing company is to go to Swift & Co.
and that the Denver Union Stock Yards

from Kansas City together with a rumor
that the Cudahy Packing company of
Omaha had obtained possession of the
Hammond plant at the union stock yards
Chicago and would enter the market
there. The Fowler plant at Kansas City
is reported included in the transfer of
the Colorado Packing company plant to
the Armours and it is said the National
Packing company plant at st. Joseph,

ing company in the alleged transfer to

ton of the National Packing company.

COATESVILLE
And HIGH TEAMS
In FRIDAY GAMES

Since the committee on "Old Home
Week" left Friday afternoon open on
the program, the management of the
Wilmington High School football
team has arranged home game with
the Coatesville High School football
tea The game will undoubtedly at
tract large crowd of out-of-town Wis
itors as well as the loyal followers
Of the Cherry and White" Many
Of the weeks visitors are former
members of the Wilmington High
School and by having the game. the
old memories of school days will be
recalled and Captain Mason's eleven
will be contrasted with the big teams
of the early nineties when the brute
froce and strength had its place
against skill and speed.
The local team was to have played
the Garnet and White eleven of West
Chester on Saturday afternoon but
yesterday morning the West Chester
manager called the game OF Mana
ger Wickersham had the wires hot
until the Coatesville team was secur-
ed. In this game the true merit Of
the local gridironists will be brought
out as from all reports the teams Will
be evenly matched in weight and
size
Coach Speer has been sending the
team TO the limit in scrimmage all
week and they are primed for the
fray The work of Mike Fidance is
probably the most sensational Of the
season. He has been canning the ball
for good games and drop kicking on
an average Of 40 yards. In practice
yesterday this little warrior sent the
oval over the uprights sixteen times
in succession.
Matthews s another boy that has
opened the eyes of his followers. He
has been given a trial at fullback
and his line plunging struck the eyes
of DR.. Speer in the right place. Mat
thews can hur the forward pass TO
perfection and in this work he fills
M the weak gap that somewhat trou-
bed the management and coaches.

Of strength and the big boy has been
doing wonders in that position Jack

BOMBAY ABDUL
SICHS FOR
CURRY and RICE

NEW YORK, Oct. 10-For more
than a month Abdul a 15-year-old
cabin and punkah hoy 70 the captain
Of steamer from Bombay, has been
soIourning I'm the city, cherishing A
hugo pith helmet which he wore TO
protect him from the sun and which
once crowned the Captain sahib, and
wondering why he ever lost his way
in New York on the subway.
According to the story Abdul told
through an Interpreter at tho Chill
dren's Society while his teeth chat
tered with the cold, he left his steam
er one night to puchase some Ameri-
can soap. In his pocket he had a
months wages I'm the form of gold
sovereign bearing the head Of George,
Emperor OF India.
Wandering aolng the wharyes after
losing himself In the bazars OF South
street, Abdul met a cOuntryman, who
took him TO a sailorman's hotel. Here
Abdul lived well on curry and rice UNI
til his pound was spcpt After that
he worked for his heard and room
until last week he was told to shift
for himself
Abdul haunted the wharf where mis-
ship had been tied up, but learning
that she had departed and would be
gone over a month he sadly started
uptown, still wearing the big pith he'll
met Of his Captain Sahib. For four
days Abdul ate neither rice nor curry,
which means he ate nothing at all He
noticed that his big helmet created
undue attention, and decided to aban-
don the helmet. When he quietly
dropped il Officer Richard Burns po-
litely returned it 10 Abdul Where
upon Abdul spurned H. and tired TO
explain to the patrolman in his best
Hindustni that the weather was too
cold for such an enormous lid.
When taken 10 the Children's 90
oiety Abdul could only say Bombay, '
which was geographically enlightcn-
ing but deficient in geographic details
When the Interpreter arrived, Abdul
confessed 10 a fear of the police, and
begged to be sent back to India. JUS
tice Hoyt remanded Abdul to the care
Of tho Society, and Abdul will be sent
to his native bazars in distant Bonn
bay.
