THIEF CONVERTED
BY STOLEN BIBLE

Hopkinsville. Ky, Aug. 31.-One
Sunday night last May while Mr..
and Mrs. T. X. Rice, of this county,
were away from home, some one
broke into the house and took Mr..
Rice's new coat and vest and Bible
which Mrs. Rice had given him.
Mrs. Rice refused to allow Mr.. Rice
to put the case in the officers hands
and expressed the abiding faith that
if the matter was let alone to take
its own course the articles would all
be returned.
Yesterday Mrs. Rice's faith was
vindicated when strange man
walked up to their house and stated
that he was the fellow who had TAX
en- the coat and vest and Bible. He
said that as he made his way on to-
ward Warrington he sat down or
the side of the road and began read
ing the Bible, and what he read
made him realize his sinful cond!-
tion and he was later converted.
He said he seized the first opportun-
ity to return the things to Mr.. Rice,
And he handed back the garments
and the Bible.
The Rices invited him to dinner
and gave him the Bible.

CHICAGO AND DENVER WANT
NATL DEM. CONVENTION

Washington, d. c., Aug. 31-The
Democratic National Committee
probably will meet in this city next
December to fix the date and select
the place for the Democratic Nation
al Convention next year. 1t is now
conceded that although President
Wilson in a message to Congress de-
clared in favor of Presidential pri-
maries, there is no likelihood Of such
a law being passed and the nomi-
nations next year by all parties will
be made in the old-time way by
mbeans Of political conventions.
The indications are that the
Democratic National Convention will
be held prior to the Republican Nat
ional Convention. In fact, informal
interchanges among members of the
national committee show a foregone
conclusion that the Democratic con-
vention will be held first. This is in
accordance with the unwritten rule
that the party in power shall nomi
nate its candidate and adopt it's plat
form in advance of the party out OF
power. The nettative plan is to
hurry Congress through its long ses-
sion and arrange a date for the
Democratic National Convention no:
later than the middle of June.
Many Cities Active
There are preliminary indications
of spirited bidding for the Demo-
cratic National Convention. At the
very outset there is talk of Chicago
and Denver. Chicago Is conceded to
be the natural convention city,"
having all the advantages of loca-
tion, railroad facilities, hotel acco-
4 modations and lake breeZes. The
national convention of 1908 at Den
yer proved an agreeable experience,
however The delegates and visit
ors wre well taken care of and thes
cool summer climate added to the
plesantness of the innovation. "Why
J not go back to Denver?" some of the
members of the national committee
are saying. Members from the Pa
cific coast, especially, are talking ur
Denver's stock. They realize that
the convention cannot be pulled
clear to the coast and Denver would
be a happy midway point.

RICH POTASH FIELDS DIS =.
COVERED IN GEORGIA

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 3l-Potash fer

The price paid for the land is said

The discovery of the potash beds
was made a short time ago when

BULGARIA's MONEY SITUATION
(By Associated Press. }

Berlin, Aug. 31.-Dr. T. Stoya-
noff, director OF the public debt ad-
ministration Of Bulgaria, who Is now
In Berlin and has arranged here for
a loan of $5O,0O0,000 with German
and Austrian banks, says that the
Bulgarian National bank now has o
larger gold stock than ever before.
II amounts to $12,00O,00O besides
nearly 100000 in silver.
The currency of the country, how
ever, is at discount of about 25
per cent in trade with the outside
world; but DR.. Stoyanoff attributes
this, not to any unsound financial or
banking conditions, but to the fact
that Bulgaria is now unable to find
export markets. II cannot sell its
agricultural products abroad, be-
cause the markets of Austria and
Germany are closed through the Ser
ban blockade of the Danube in one
direction; while in the other, name
ly. by way Of the Mediterranean,
Bulgaria's only seaport, Dedeagatch,
is closely bloekaded by the English.
From this years crops the country
will have about 100000 tons Of
wheat and rye for export and about
zoo, 900 tons of Indian corn. DR..
Stoyanoff evidently hopes that Aus
tria and Germany will open up the
Danube in order to get Bulgaria's
surplus grain.

LABOR DEMAND GREATER
THAN THE SUPPLY
(By Associated Press.) J

Manchester, England, Aug. 31.-
In Cheshire and Lancaster, counties
on the west coast the farmers rely
largely on Irish laborers for the har-
vesting OF their grain crops, but this
year the supply OF this labor has
been seriously depleted by the de-
parture Of most of the laborers for
Ireland, in order to escape the Ma
tional Register.
The farmers gave the laborers ev-
cry possible assurance that the reg
istration did not involve them In any
fresh responsibilities and did not
mean impending conscription. The
men, however, seemed to be con-
vinced that the registration form
meant that in some way they would
be placed under the eye Of the gov
ernment and sooner or later be
snatched for military service. In
most parts of Ireland registration is
not required.

STRANDED TRAMP HAS
MUNITIONS FOR RUSSIA

Miami, Aug. 31-Rumors relative
tc the cargo Of the italian tramp
steamer aground on Ajax reef,
reached Miami yesterday, and hints
were heard prior to these rumors, to
the effect that the vessels name was
obliterated and that the captain and
crew would answer no questions re-
garding vessel cargo or destination.
1t now develops, according to re.
port, that the tramp was loaded with
munitions of war f,r the Russian
government and was on her way to
-ladivostick by way ct the Panama
Canal.
This belief would seem to be
borne out by the statement of re-
turning wreckers who declare that
there is one hatch which has no.:
yet been opened and that the captain
refused to permit the opening of this
hatch.
The vessel went aground within
two hundred and fifty to three hun
dred feet Of the old wreck of the
Alicia, and though on her way south,
the steamer is headed north. This
unusual condition is accounted for
it is said, by statements Of the cap
tain that he saw the bow of the
Alicia sticking up in the dim light
and believed it was buoy. He at
tempted to turn in toward the shore
and round the buoy and ran hard
aground.
It was expected that the tramT
would be floated at high tide last
night, when she would proceed on
her way to Key West where ar
rangements for paying the wreckers
or of taking charge of vessel an;
cargo for salvage. would be made.
Brandley Curry, former Miam
policeman, is wrecking master, an
several Miami boats and craft OF al
sizes from Key West are standing D
10 give dSSlSldHtC W b'N
ship. The damage to the tramp
hull is very slight, it is sald' an
therefore the only question is ina
of floating her off from the reel
where only her nose is aground.
All efforts to learn the name Q
the tramp, her captains name, Tn
nature of the cargo, destination an
other information, were said TO
unavailing, according to Captai
Chas.. H. Thompson, one OF IN
wreckers, who came to Miami yes
terday for supplies.
The tramp struck the reef IN III
darkness several nights ago, ana 10
time attempted without assistanc
to free herself from the clutches
the deadly Ajax reef. Then IN
government vessel Miami came
the rescue, but merely stood py I'll
til the tramp was turned over to u
wreckers.

BREAK TODAY

EXCHANGE RATE

New York, Aug. 31.-Foreigu
exchange rates reached a most seri-
Gus stage with the overnight break
OF two and half cents, making the
English pound worth four dollars
and fifty-eight and one-half cents.
Many bankers believe this is near
ing the low price that would cause a
curtailment of foreign orders to this

munitions. Foreigners are ALREADY
paying the top market price TO goods

orders have been cancelled yet, but
