Close Battle In all Except Two Dis
trlcts
Boston. April 30.-The struggle for
the control OF the Massachusetts del
egatlon to the Republican convention
in Chicago between President Taft
and Colonel Roosevelt, was so close
at the primaries today that at mid
night, with half the state tabulated,
the two aspirants for nomination
we're running neck and neck for pre-
sdental preference. while incom-
pete returno showed that they had
an equal division OF the district
delegates.
Returns from III Districts
Returns in the presidential prima-
rles from I'll out OF 1880 election pre-
cincts give:
Republican preferences-La Fol-
lette 1880, Roosevelt 1886, Taft 40,
2S9. Delegates at large-Baxter,
heading Roosevelt group, 45,44l;
Crane. heading Taft group, 10000.
Returns from the districts also
showed Taft to be ahead in the First
Second. Third. Eighth, Tenth, Ele p
enth and Thirteenth, while the Roose'
welt delegates we're leading In the
Fourth. Fifth. sixth, Seventh, Ninth.
Twelfth. and Fourteenth districts
Speaker Clark Democratic Choice
The closeness OF the fight In the
Republican ranks overshadowed the
contest in the Democratic. Returns
from half the state gave Speaker
Clark 1906, Governor Wilson S597.
OF the delegates at large Coughlin,
who was pledged TO Governor Foss,
polled 1S,419. while George Fred VIII
liams received 6426 votes in the same
precincts.
The La Toilette vote had failed to
reach four figures at midnight
Where They Got Support
The Taft leaders seemed sure of
carrying the First district and actu-
ally won the Eleventh, consisting OF

Bay section.
President Taft carried Boston by

Many OF the manufacturing cities

The only two Taft delegates at large
to be elected in North Adams were
Crane and Bates. In order to mix
up the situation completely North
Adams expressed a choice for all
eight alternate delegatss-at-large who
favored Mr. Taft. This indicates that
the name of Seiberlich trapped many
voters. The two district delegates,

SUICIDES IN AUSTRIAN ARMY
Official Statistics Show 2,614 in the
Last Ten Years-MlIltary Men
Are Alarmed.

A surprisingly high percentage Of
suicides in the Austrian army is re-
vealed by official statistics just pub
lished. These show that 2,614 sui
cides and $50 attempts at suicide of
officers and enlisted men have oc-
Cured in the last ten years.
The figures are the highest for
any army in Europe and the proper
ton is sixteen times greater than
that of the total suicides in the en-
tire population Of the monarchy.
Motives were ascertainable in only
about half the cases. The records
show that the most frequent causes
were fear Off punishment, love af-
fairs, unwillingness to serve in the
army and i'll treatment.
The higher number of suicides is
all IT, more remarkable because it
is generally considered that Austrian
soldiers are well treated in compari-
son with those in some Of the other
European countries.

Burial will occur at Saratoga to-
morrow.
Mr.. Pardue was a son of |. I'll.
Pardue of Saratoga, in this coun-
ty, who has been the mail carrier
between that place and Washing
ton for many years. He was born
and reared at Saratoga and is
well known in this county, where
he has many friends. He held a
position as fireman from Lincoln
to Omaha, which position he has
held for the past five or six years.
1t has only been a few weeks
since he was here on visit to his
parents. He was kind and cour-
teous to all, strictly attentive to
business, young man with no
bad habits, with open heart and
hand, and one who made many
friends, especially among those
who knew him best. Cut down
in early manhood, his life was
short; but he has done his part
well and has been called away for
some wise purpose that we can
not understand.

Notwithstanding this favorable
opinion, there we're interesting
lapses in universal knowledge, as
when Miss Carl painted her portrait,
and her majesty noticed the artists
signature in the corner of the can
vas.
'Well, I know foreigners dc some
funny things" she remarked, 'but ]
think this is about the funniest ]
ever heard of. Fancy putting hel
name Oh my picture. This will nat.
urally convey the impression that il
is a portrait of Miss Carl, and moi
a portrait Of myself at all"
Even after the princess-who was
of western education-had explain.

to allow the signature to remain, she
was anything but satisfied.
