The delegates to the Republican
national convention in Chicago
June IS have been selected, and
President William Howard Taft and
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt have TAX
en- their final ding at each other.
The last primaries were those in
South Dakota June 1. and the last
state convention was In Ohio June 3.
Now there's nothing to do but wait
and see what happens.
This dark horse" business has be-
come a fixture Of the tool bag Of polit-
cal exigency. There have been signs
and well authenticated rumors-that
the unexpected was due to happen in
the Chicago Coliseum.
The fight\Of 1912 for the Republican
presidential nomination will be record
ed in history ns without parallel in one
respect. Never before has Il former
president of the United States who
has served two terms been pitted
against an executive seeking renomina-
tion.

1903. but his enthusiasm was not Of
the enduring variety. In fact. it last

apparent that Il genuine break had
developed between the president and
the only living ex-president. Still.

THE LOVE OF A FIGHT

IHe LOVE OF A FIGHT
As the contest warmed up. likewise
the two leading slndiators. the great
American public. keen to sense and to
enjoy n good fight. began to take real
interest. The president and the colo
mel began. business without serious
blows. Like u couple of pugllists they
SPARED with each other. watching out
for promising opening This kind of
sport soon palIed on the colonel, and
he commenced letting out steam. The
strenuous colonel began to annoy the
urbane Taft, and the growing uncer-
tainty Of the outcome in the contest
for the nomination began to annoy
them both.
And then-biff. bang.-somethin
happened.
1t was late in April when President
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt opened up
on each other good and strong. The
president. speaking in Springfield,
Mass. dropped the famous Taft smile,
and us his face flushed with anger he
declared that his back was against the

manhood in him he could do nothing
but fight The colonel's criticisms had
stnng him to the quick.
From then on neither the presiden,
nor the colonel hesitated in engaging
In further personalities. and they both
have kept at it hammer and tongs.

! places on the roll the names Of the del
egates elected in accordance with the
party convention call and on the basis
of the delegates credentials. OF the

Aerial photography is. Of course. by
no means new. For number Of
years experts have been working with
special instruments strapped to the
breasts OF carrier pigeons. An ex-
traOrdinary device, however, has late
ly been adopted for taking the camera
into the air. 1t Is really a combina-
tion OF camera and rocket. The rocket
goes of and carries the camera with It.
At the climax Of the flight the shutter
automatically snaps, and, buoyed up
by parachute frill which has in the
meantime expanded, the camera gen
tly descends.
The thing has been developed in Ber-
lin. and just at present it is all the
rage there for people to have birdseye
views of themselves taken. The only
difference between an aerial camera
and an ordinary one is the shutter.
There are many ways of arranging
that the shutter shall open at approx
mately the right minute. though. of
course, the photographer always has
to face considerable chance that he
may not get the precise subject he
wants. One method is to have clock
attachment that works the shutter aft
er calculated interval. A time fuse
has also been used.
Among other freak cameras there Is
one shaped something like watch.
while another. shaped like cannon.

the largest thing in cameras is the
Atalanta camera. constructed for Use
on aeroplanes. 1t looks like minia-
ture naval gun. Is aimed and fired like
n rife. has n range Of fourteen miles
and works with an extremely rapid
shutter. Germany has bought num-
ber Of these cameras for use on its

Detroit Police Believe story of LabOrer
Solves Mysterious Attacks
Upon Women and Girls.

Detroit Mich, Oct ST the story
which George Brown Spengler told
proves to be the truth, the mystery of
crime which has puzzled Detroit po-
lice and detectives for nearly three
years has been cleared.
Spengler, a laborer 80 years old, was
arrested in connection with the muir
der of y year old Matilda Refs, whose
mutilated body was found in an alley
near her home last Tuesday night. He
confessed not only to having killed and
mistreated the child, but told the po-
lice he also mistreated and murdered
Helen Brown, II years old, whose body
was found in a coal yard on December
IL. 1909.
Four other girls have been attacked
in Detroit in the last Is months, one of
them was permanently injured ard the
others less seriously hurt. Spengler
admits responsibility for two of these
Offenses. In each case the child was
attacked as she lay asleep in her par
ents' home.
For more than a year a succession
of attacks on WOme nand girls has
mystified local police officials. Women
have been knocked down and dragged
