BODY Of JOHN
ADAMS FOUND
UNDER ENGINE
Lifeless Form Of Victim of
Cone Lake Disaster Ex-
tricated From Waters /;
Moriarty is Improving.

The body OF John G.. Adams, who
met terrible death in Cone Lake
yesterday morning, was recovered last
night about 10 o'clock by diver. The
remains arrived here on Milwaukee
NO. this morning. Fireman j.
Moriarity was removed to the Wash.
ington, Ia, hospital last night, and his
left leg was amputated below the
knee this morning. While his condi,
ton is critical,he is expected to live ii
complications do not set In.
Pinned Under PIIing.
The diver who recovered the body
of Mr.. Adams arrived at the scene OF
the accident at $50 yesterday. Four
unsuccessful attempts to find the body
were made, and the fifth resulted in
the diver locating the lifeless form.
The body was in the cab Of the engine,
but seemed to be pinned by some pill.
ing which followed the locomotive
down to the waters. The form was not
mutilated, Adams having remained IN
the cab with his engine and only one
foot was bruised. The remains were
taken to Washington last night and
prepared for burial. The funeral party
arrived home this morning on No. 3.
The Milwaukee wrecking crew is
still endeavoring to raise the engine
from the waters. This task will not be
accomplished before tomorrow. Supt
Macdonald is at Gone Lake in charge
of the work. e.Es
Jacob Adams Of Milwaukee, broth
er of Mr.. Adams, accompanied by his
wife, arrived here last night.
The funeral of Mr.. Adams will be
held Monday afternoon at $3.50 at the
First Presbyterian church.
The escape of Moriarty was miracu
lous. AS the engine with Mr.. Adams
and his fireman crashed through the
bridge over Cone Lake yesterday
morning, Moriarty was caught by
some piling and his leg was torn
completely off just below the knee.
Thus freed Moriarty rose to the
surface and though suffering from ter,
rible pain and weakened by the shock
he retained sufficient presence OF
mind to grasp box which floated out
from the wreckage Of the engine and
fallen span, to which he clung until
members of the Mortified bridge crew
could secure boat and row hastily to
his aid. When the boat reached his
side Moriarty was able to pull him
self into the boat and was brought
ashore. ~,

CLARA BARTON,
FOUNDER OF THE:
RiDCROSS,DEAD
Noted Woman Who Has
Been Signally Honored by
Royalty, succumbs at Ad-
vanced Age Of 80 Years.

Washington, D. c.. April 12.-Mlss
Clara Barton, founder OF the Ameri-
can Red Cross society, died at ner
home in Glen Echo, Md, today. The
Gauss OF her death was chronic pneu'
monia, with which she was stricken
about a year ago. Her brother. stepn-
en- Barton of Boston, was with her
when she died. Miss Barton was born
at Oxford, Mass, in 1921.
Miss Clara Barton, who for over
half century has been dominant
factor in world influence, will stand
forth as one of the most remarkable
women in the worlds history.
On Christmas last she passed her
ninetieth milestone in life. 1
Miss Barton's career since the dark
days of '61 when as field nurse she
lead in the assisting of both confeder-
ate and union soldiers In nursing them
back to life, up to the moment of her
death, has been filled with devotion
to cause greater than almost any
other humanitarian movement of the
worlds history, the founding OF the
Red Cross society. ,.....
Her declining years have been spent
in her home in the village Of Glen
Echo near Washington, D. c. No other
American woman was ever so honored
by the world powers as Miss Barton
She has personal letters from nearly
every crowned head of Europe OF the
last thirty years. The honors and
decorations which have been bestowed
upon her make long list including
medals and other insignia of royal
decoration with diplomas Of honor and
embossed regulations from different
state legislations and foreign govern
ments. The Iron Cross OF Prussia,
given her IN the presence of Bismarck,
is one OF her most cherished posses
sions. Another equally coveted order
OF chivalry which was given to her IS
the gold cross Of remembrance given
by the Grand Duke and Duchess OF
Baden in 1870. .-
Miss Barton represented the
United States government at four IN
ternational conventions. at Geneva IN
1884; at Carlsruhe, Germany in 1887,
Rome in 1890 and Vienna IN 1897
The world today mourns the loss OF
truly great character. sa

Muscatine, April 12.-Caucuses in
Muscatine passed off quietly last night
because of conference held between
standpatters and progressives at
which it was agreed that the Musca-
tine county delegation should be di-
vided equally. In the first, second and
third wards the harmony program was
carried out, but in the fourth ward, a
solid Cummins delegation was chosen
with instructions.
Unless the country delegations
change the aspect Of the county con.
vention Saturday, indications are that
the harmony program will be followed
out and a delegation chosen for the
state convention equally divided be-
tween Taft and Cummins. ...nt

armies Of food fighters are holding
their own along the upper stretches OF
the Mississippi river today. At Lux

making its way back into the Missis'
sippi river through the St. Francis
river, which empties into the Missis-
sippi just above that city. However,
the levee at Helena is unusually strong
and It is generally believed it will
withstand the pressure.
Still Failing at Carlo.
Cairo, ILL.,. April 12.-The Ohio river
fell one-tenth of foot during the
night and today the guage registered
53.6 feet. Women and children who
were sent from the city when the river

begun to return despite the fact that
the water outside the levees Is still
ten feet above the level of the city.
The only way to get into the city is
by boat as the railroads have not
been able as yet to get their tracks re.

MICHIGAN MEETING
HAS QUIET CLOSE
Convention Adjourns in Tame Fashion
Compared to Turbulent Earlier
Events,

Bay City, Mich, April 12.-As re-
suit OF the turbulent convention here
yesterday the credentials committee
OF the republican national convention
at Chicago in June will be re-
quired to determine whether
six Taft delegates-at-large or an
equal number of Roosevelt delegates
from Michigan shall be seated in the
Coliseum when the gavel falls for the
opening Of the national convention.
Taft leaders said last night that the
seating Of the six delegates-at-large
would make no differecne In the Michi-
gan state delegation, in that the var1-
GUS district conventions had named
more than enough delegates to make
certain the vote Of Michigan for Taft.
The Taft delegates named, after the
Roosevelt men had left the armory,
were: John D. Mckay, Detroit; w. j.
Richards, Crystal Falls; George B.
Morely, Saginaw; Fred A. Diggins,
Cadillac; Eugene Fifield, Bay City;
William Jackson, Grand Rapids.
After the sensational fight on the
floor of the convention, during which
former Senator Albert J. Beveridge of
Indiana left the armory, the closing
Incidents in the convention were COM
paratively tame.
Perfunctory resolutions were adopted
and speeches were delivered by state
leaders favorable to President Taft.
Leaders on both sides admitted that
they had expected the results which
came with the close OF the convention.
Senator Beveridge, who was to have
delivered the principal address at the
convention, after waiting three hours
stated to the leaders that he would de-
cline to speak in view of the fact that
two conventions were being held.
He then withdrew from the armory.
