The story is now told that Wood
row Wilson gave a delegate to the
national convention at Baltimore In
structions to withdraw his name at
any time Speaker Clark received a
majority. The friend utterly failed
in his trust and sat silent while the
three-day struggle went on with
CLARK having more than half the
votes. It is probable, however. that
Mr.. Wilson will not have any fall

FEW PROGRESSIVE CONVERTS.

w. Y. Morgan, who has been IN
washington, writes the following
observations concerning the proba-
BILE political situation: In the first
Mace I soon learned there is really
no Progressive party here-not yet.
A few correspondents for Progress
sive papers make up the entire or
SANITATION. No. U. s. senator has
vet declared himself Progressive.
Our own Senator Bristow has not
vet said he was going over to the
new party, although 1t seems to me
certain that he will. Another SEN
ator from Dakota is also said to
be scheduled for that route. But
the leaders in the old Progressive
Republican crowd are standing Dy
the Republican party and in fact
think the party is coming to them.
LaFollette, Cummins, Borah ana
Kenyon, the leaders in the fights OF
the last few sessions, are frankly
and openly against new party ana
say it is weak proposition as II
only helps the Democrats. LaFollette
and Cummins are In the RepuDli-
fcan legislative steering committee ~
the senate, and the Republicans IN
the next senate will come nearer
presenting united front than has
been seen in the senate for several
years. 60
over in the house there y no talk
Of wanting Progressive party. Most
al the Progressive Republican con-
gressman realize that new party
means their own crucifixion and po-
llitical death. Congressman jackson
ID the only one from our state who
is for the progressive party and he
win not be back. Victor Murdoch
has not lined up with the new party
Some of the ''progressiyes" may
later on 60 to the new party, some
Imay 60 Democratic If they like VII
sons policies. and some will stand
BY the Republican party. Up e
Idate those who do not declare them
selves loyal to the Republicans ar
standing still and watching VIVA
way the cat is likely to jump.

GILDED GAMBLING
JOINTS RAIDED
Police Find the Places Va
Gated

New York, Feb. Higher up cir.
Giles of the gambling fraternity were
upset today by raids which we've
made simultaneously last night upon
eight big alleged gambling establish
ments in the Fifth avenue and thea
rical districts. For the first time in
the history of the police 1remen as
sisted in the raids. AS the police in
eight taxicab parties under command
Of Inspector John F. Dwyer swoop-
cd down upon the suspected places,
firemen gained entrance by either
pretending to be inspecting the build
ings, or by shouting "Fire!"
If the firemen got in the police squad
followed; if not, iron crowbars forced
entrance
But in all of the eight places there
was no one 10 arrest. In some mys-
ferrous manner the alleged proprie-
tors had been all tipped off" and
suave buffers were left in charge.
The collection of gambling instru-
ments and furnishings, however, was
one of the finest the police ever took.
The seven van loads carted to station
houses were valued at $4,000, some
of which was from the place former
ly occupied by Rochard A. Garfield.
Relics of his DELUXE parlors, inciud-
i'm art reasures, were found to still
adorn the walls.

that he was almost frozen by the in

Bider accomplished the perilous
flight of 512 kilometers { about 317
miles, in five hours and thirty-five

Excavations

London, Feb. Attempt to dis
cover the Temple of Zeus will occupy
the attention. of the Princeton expedi-
ton in Asia Minor for the next six
months, Prof. Butler, of Princeton,
who has just obtained permission from
the Turkish government to resume his
work at Sardis, and who left Smyrna
yesterday, said before his departure
"If we discover this we shall surely
also come to tremendous find, the
Palace of Croesus. 1t is stated that the
great Temple of Zeus was founded b.
Alexander the Great on the ruins Of
the Palace of Croesus, being in the
same sacred enclosure as the Temple
of Artemis. This is corroborative
evidence of this on a coin of Sardis
now in the British museum, which
shows the temples of Artemis and
Zeus side by side.
Our discoveries up to date consist
in the complete uncovering Of the Tenn
pie of Artemis, which is remarkably
well preserved, and also an early
Christian church with primitive al
tar in perfect preservation. This is
The earliest altar known We ha e

Prof Butler, Obliged to do everything
