TRIED TO REVIVE
paverpor Woman Applied Mustard
P,a.tsrs to Body Of Son for Week
Following Deriss-Had Grave Dug
In Collar and Windows Of Homo
Nailed Up.

Spectal to Times-Republican.
Davenport. April lo.-Mrs. Wilhel-
nina Fahlenkamp is under arrest here
following the discovery Of the fact that
she kept the body Of her dead son In
the house q week and made efforts to
revive him.
About $4,000. mostly in gold, was
found sewed up in the mothers cloth
ing after she had been searched by the
police matron. She talks nationally and
maintains that her son died yesterday.
The coroner claims, however. that the
man had been dead for at least a week.
Neighbors had noticed an offensive
odor as Of n dead animal for several
days and a search had been made for
dead dog. The body had to be buried
at once and no autopsy could be made
to detect whether there was any indi-
cation Of violent death.
Grave Dug in Cellar.
Investigation later revealed the fact
that a grave had been recently dug In
the cellar at the Fahlenkamp home and
1t is thought the mother had intended
to bury her sons body there.
Every window and door in the house
had been nailed shut She told the po-
lice natron this morning that she had
been applying hot poultices to the body
for the past five days, and when the
body was found by the coroner 1t was
covered with mustard plasters.
She said she knew he was alive be-
cause bubbles came from his mouth. 1t
Is thought this was result OF de-
composition and the woman thought it
a sign of life.

Landslide to Roosevelt.

Chicago. April 10.-It was a land
slide In Illinois for Roosevelt. The re-
turns received from the statewide pri-
maries up to midnight indicate that
the former president carried every con-
gressional district except one and won
the whole state by a plurality of 125,-
600 over President Taft
The returns indicate that fifty-six
out Of the fifty eight Illinois delegates
to the national convention will be In
structed to vote for Colonel Roosevelt
He has captured forty-eight of the
fifty district delegates and the eight
delegates at large will be elected by the
republican statesconventton and in
structed for Roosevelt by the popular
vote in the state at large.
Taft May Get Txsnty.F Fifth District.
The only district which, SO far as
returns show, has not been placed in
the Roosevelt column is the Twenty
fifth, in far off Egypt" and even that
may go there when the floods recede
and the returns come in. Randolph is
the only county in that district heard
from 80 far, and it was carried by Taft.
Roosevelt has oqrried all counties re-
porting returns save five. In addition
to Randolph, Taft got Cass county, but
Roosevelt carried the Twentieth dis
trict. in which Cass is situated
Roossvslt Gets Cook BY 5000.
Roosevelt appears to have carried
Cook county by more than Is 900 plu-
rality. He rolled up tremendous vote
ON the north and south sides in Chi
cago and in the country towns Of the
county.
In the Lorimer wards the Roosevelt
lead over Taft was greatly reduced. but
In spite of the Lorimer opposition the
colonel appears to have captured all
the delegates in the Lorimer territory.

has endorsed Roosevelt, according to

Even in the district Of Congressman
Mckinley, the manager Of the Taft
campaign, it was landslide for Roose-

In Mr.. McISinley's own voting pre-

Taft, 49, "A tremendous effort had been
made to carry this precinct for Taft in
order that 1t might not be said that the

had lost his own nefghborhood to RoOse-

four delegates at large to the Chicago
convention selected and the platform
drafted by the committee on resolu-

pletion Of their deliberations.
Early today the committee on resoiu-

form, in which the New York delega-
ton to the national convention was
urged to vote, for the denomination Of
President Taft.
This action on the part of the conf

was taken to prevent fight on the
floor over the question Of whether the
four delegates at large should be spe-
cjhcally instructed. s. q

ed. in their action at Chicago, carry

The platform as adopted by the
committee In part says: 1--WE believe
that order Is the prime requisite Of
progress and that this anational tfadi-
ton must not be DESTROYED nor prsn-
ciple sacrificed to opportunism.
I'VE believe that public conscience
should express itself properly and af-
firmatively in the election of public
officials and not negatively In their
recall. To reverse this order would
encourage disregard of duty in arming
public officers and place premium
on neglect Of that duty
