Political Court Contest,

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
Topeka, Kan, Aug. 21.-Another
contest in the courts over the Taft
and Roosevelt electors in Kansas is
promised today as a result of tenn
porary restraining order granted in
the federal court which prevents the
names of the Roosevelt electors chos-
en- at the recent primaries being en-
rolled on the ballots.
The action was brought by the Taft
faction in the name of voter and al
leges that the petition placing the
Roosevelt electors in nomination was
signed in the belief that the electors
would vote for the convention nom
inee. 1t is alleged that many republi
can voters would be virtually disfran
chised by the electors falling to vote
for Taft.

BODY RISES
TO THE SURFACE
After Being Under the Water for For
ty-Elsht Hours, Body OF Frank
Fletcher is Re-
covered.

Body Arose From Bottom Of Boom al
Exact Spot Where Fletcher Was
Last Seen Struggling
In the Water.
IN BAD CONDITION

After resting on the bottom of the
eight hours, at the immediate spot
underneath where it sank, the body of
Frank Fletcher arose to the surface
this morning shortly after o'clock.
Workmen for the Taher company an
chored the body and called Coroner
Korschgen and the body was removed
from the water and taken to an I'M
dertaker An inquest will be held
over the remains this evening at the
court house.
The body was in bad condition
this morning when it came to the sur
face of the water Fletcher was
drowned Monday morning shortly af-
ter Z o'clock, few moments after he
had reported for work. Fletcher,
whose duty it was to assist in rafting
the logs from the boom to the gang
way, walked out on the logs that
were floating on the surface, and In
some manner fell between the logs.
He struggled and made an effort to
climb on top of the logs, and for
some time his head was above the
logs and his fellow employees thought
he would be able to save himself He
coon sank and that was the last seen
of his body until 1t voluntarily came
to the surface this morning.
Considerable adverse comment was
heard yesterday In regard to the
search for the dead body, which, some
said. could have been recovered i'm
