CHICAGO LANDS
c. O.P. MEETING
over ST. LOUIS
Republicans Call Convention
For June Z, One Week
Before Democrats.
SOUTH'S DELEGATION
PRUNED MATERIALLY
Barnes Attempts To Select
Machine Chairman, But Is
Squelched.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The Repub-
lican National Committee late this
afternoon voted to hold the national
convention in Chicago. The date Sc
lected was June 7, or one week be-
fore the Democratic convention con-
venes in St. Louis.
The indications last night were that
st. Louis would also land this cOnven-
ton, but these predictions were shot
to pieces early today. 1t became ap-
parent early today that st. Louis was
out of the running. Chicago won on
the first ballot.
The ballot was Chicago, 80; San
Francisco, Is; St. Louis, I; Philadel-
phia, 2, making 50 votes. A major
ity of q. This gave the convention
to Chicago.
st. Louis claims were presented
through Thomas X. Niedringhaus,
Missouri National Committeeman, c..
p. Walbridge of St. Louis, Walter S.
Dickey of Kansas City, Edward Hid
den, Casper Yost, editor of the Globe
Democrat, and James E. Smith.
1t was pointed out before the COM
mittee that many of the primaries in
the states will not be held until after
June Z, and that if the meeting was to
be held after the Democratic gather
ing, June 81 would be the most OPP
perfume time.
The committee defeated a proposal
by William Barnes of New York that
the temporary chairman of the con-
vention be selected and his name
made public before March 1, deciding
to allow the committee to name the
temporary chairman when it sees fit.
The committee decided it would
give hearing to suffrage and anti
suffrage leaders after hearing claims
of the cities.
The committee on Apportionment,
at a meeting late yesterday, decided
to abide by the action of the National
Committee two years ago in reducing
the number of Southern delegates to
the convention. This means, it is
said, that the convention will have 985
delegates instead of 1918, as in 1912.
The Committee on Call also decided
to abide by the laws of the various
states, including those which select
delegates by primaries, although it
reserved the right, where the law dis
franchises the Republican party, to
leave the final decision as to the seat
ing of delegates with the National
Committee.

CLARK IS URGED TO
RUN FOR GOVERNOR
Alexander and Kinder Send
Speaker Requests to Head
State Ticket.

Cape Girardeau and Southeast Mis-
souri, yesterday joined in the effort
being made by the Missouri Democ-
racy to induce Speaker Champ Clark
to become Il candidate for Governor.
Harry f. Alexander, President of
the Southeast Missouri Democratic
Club, forwarded a telegram to Speak
er Clark at Washington, asking him.
in behalf of the Southeast Missouri
Club, to make the race.
Mr.. Alexander has written to DEM
ocratic leaders in many counties in
this section of the state, asking them
to either write or telegraph Mr.
Clark.
James A. Kinder, chairman of the
Cape Girardeau County Demrocatic
Committee, yesterday also wired Mr..
Clark, asking him to announce his
candidacy for Governor.
Since the "get-gOther" meeting of
Democrats at st. Joseph two months
ago, party leaders in all sections Of
the state have been urging Speaker
Clark to make the race for Governor,
but he had not intimated whether he
would become a candidate or not.
Champ Clark would settle the
controversy that is now so trouble
some to the party" said Mr.. Alexan-
der last night "If he should an
nounce his candidacy, | don't believe
there is a candidate who would not
give way to Mr.. Clark. He is the
biggest man in the party in Missouri,
and the biggest man is needed right
now.
81 have discussed the political Sit
uation with leaders in st. Louis and
in various rural districts of the state,
and all are of the opinion that Speak
er Clark should make the race.
Southeast Missouri Democrats are
not considering a second choice. They
are looking upon the Speaker as the
party candidate. | believe when he
is made to realize the situation of the
party in the state, he will consent to
make the sacrifice"

GERMAN-AMER. BODY
TO AID RED CROSS
Alliance Starts Fund With S25
As Nucleus to Canvass
Members.

A Red Cross fund for the benefit of
the wounded, as we'll as soldiers, wild
ows and orphans will be started in the
Cape by the members of the German
American Alliance.
This determination was formed AT
the regular monthly meeting of the
organization last night in Haarig,
when it was decided that the members
will be canvassed for that purpose.
Several days ago when Professor
Kuehnemann came to the Cape to
speak under the auspices Of the al
lance, collection was made to obtain
funds with which to finance his trip.
More than sufficient funds were OBJ
tanned in the canvass of the city, and
the committee which was in charge of
that fund has kept the remainder of
the fund. About SIS was given out
for Professor Kuehnemann's lecture.
There is residue of about S25 in
that fund, which the organization last
night favored using as the nucleous
for the proposed Red Cross fund.
The members of the organization
expect within the next few weeks to
quietly push the project forward and
collect large sum of money from the
people both in the city and county.
This will be forwarded in the proper
manner to the national officials who
are transferring Red Cross funds to
their proper destination.
President Charles Blattner last
night sent word to the meeting that
he could not attend and the members
selected D. H. Harper as chairman
pro tenn to preside over the meeting.
When the subject of the Red Cross
fund was up for discussion, several
men gave interesting talks, among
them We're J. H. Price, Mr.. Harper,
Robert thinner, Max Wielpuetz and
others.

YEOMEN TO GIVE MASQUE
BALL IN ANDERSON HALL
Men and Ladies Will be Given Prizes
For Most elaborate and Funniest
Costumes.

The Yeomen lodge is preparing to
give an unusually attractive masque
ball in Anderson hall, on Good Hope
street, New Years eve. Prizes are
to be awarded to both men and wom-
en- for the most elegant and funniest
costumes.
While it has not been definitely de-
cided, the ladies of the order may
serve a light lunch to the guests. The
hail is one of the largest in the city,
and several hundred guests are ex-
pected to attend the function.
1t was originally planned to hold
the dance in the lodge rooms in the
Cahoon building, but officials in
charge of the entertainment, decided
the rooms would not be large enough.
Anderson hall was contracted for
yesterday, and a committee is now ar
ranging the list of prizes. The
awards are going to be expensive, and
worthy of spirited contest.

HENRY G. BRUNKE
SCALDS HIS FOOT
Steps Into Pail of Hot Water in
Excitement of Hog
Butchering

Henry G. Brunke, brother of the
City Street Commissioner Fred
Brunke, and well known excavation
contractor, yesterday morning scalded
his left foot so severely he was con-
fined to his bed for a time at his
home, 721 Morgan Oak street.
Brunke was at work butchering a
hog when the accident occurred. He
had just prepared a large bucket of
scalding hot water, which he intended
to use in dressing the porker. He
took the bucket of water from the
fire and carried it to within few feet
of where he had the hog strung up,
and sat it down.
A few moments later while he was
working with the pork, he moved
around close to the water bucket and
in another step put his foot into the
pail of super-heated water.
A physician was summoned at once,
who found that the skin of his foot
and ankle had been burned so badly
that there was danger of the skin
coming off. 1t will be several days
before Brunke will be completely re-
covered from the burns.

SAUSAGE IN The.
CABBAGE POISONS.
MOTHER and Girl
Mrs. Ed. Beisswingert Still
Is In Dangerous Condition
At Home.
ATE BRAIN SAUSAGE
FOR MONDAY SUPPER
Both Woke 3 A. Nj. Yesterday
In Paroxysms of Poison
Attack.

Mrs. Edward Beisswingert is dan
gerously i'll and her daughter, Miss
Nellie Beisswingert, is recovering
from an attack of ptomaine poison
with which they We're seized at ,
O'Clock yesterday morning. The two
women were alone at home at 229
South Middle street when they were
seized by the ptomaine.
They telephoned to neighbors for
help and summoned DR.. John D. Port
erfield, Jr., by telephone to come to
their aid. They then waited till help
arrived at their home.
Last night Mrs. BeisSWingert was
confined to her bed and her condition
was said to be grave. He daughter
yesterday afternoon was able 10 get
up and aid the neighbors attend her
mother.
1t is believed that the ptoraine
poison was caused by the spoiliatiOn
of some brain sausage and cabbage
that the two women had eaten for
supper Monday night. Just the two
ate of the brain sausage. Mrs. Beiss-
wingert ate more heartily Of the sau-
sage than her daughter, and her case
is much more serious than that Of
her daughter.
Both the women did not notice any
thing wrong with the food when they
ate it, and later in the evening did
not feel any bad effects from the
food.
About 3 o'clock in the morning,
however, both awoke suffering from
the attack Of the poison. They were
sick at the stomach and vOmited free
| ly. They also suffered severe
| headaches.
Mr. Beisswingert was at Mounds,
H., where he conducts a saloon. He
stays at the Illinois place for q week
and then returns to the Cape to look
after his interests here for a week
This week it was his turn to go to
Illinois.
He has not been notified of his
wife's and daughters illness, but if
Mrs. Beisswingert is not in an i'm
proved condition this morning, he will
be notified by long distance telephone
and requested to come home at once.
Mrs. Beisswingert's daughter is IS
years old.
In addition to the cabbage and
sausage that they had for supper
Monday, the two women ate heartily
of bread and butter together with
coffee and other things on the table.
The main source of Mrs. Beisswin-
gert's illness yesterday was that the
doctors could not get her to hold any
nOuriShment upon her stomach.
PtOmaine poison is caused by the
decomposition of food material before
it is used and it is believed the sau-
sage may have contained something
that had started it to decOmpose. No
one else tasted Of the sausage.
When the women sent for aid from
the neighbors, Mrs. Herman Rabich.
Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Washburn and
several others came to the Beisswin-
CERT home to do what they could for
the women

SILVER CALCULATING
COST OF new SEWER
City Engineer Completes Survey
And Charts Each Block
In District.

City Engineer Chris Silver yester-
day began calculating the costs and
detailed plans for the proposed sewer
system in the West End which will
serve all that portion of the city west
of the Sprigg street ridge and run
ming from the Normal School district
south to the city limits.
The preliminary surveying of all
the streets and alleys, arranging ten
tative locations for the sewer pipes,
has been completed by Mr.. Silver and
his corps of assistants in the field.
The work has required several weeks
and they have amassed vast amount
of technical data that will have to be
digested properly, charted and made
use of in getting up specifications for
the sewer.
As ore part of the gigantic task
for the engineers Office this winter,
each street or alley on which the sew
er will run, will have to be charted
separately on what is known as a
profile map, showing plainly the
grade.
The streets and alleys will be divid-
ed into blocks when they are charted.
The level surface of the ground will
be shown in a black in line and the
line that the sewer will follow will be
shown in red ink.
The total amount of excavation
that will be necessary to put in the
sewer system, will have to be calcu-
lated from the maps that are drawn
in making up the bill of costs. The
grades of the streets will have to be
established in many cases.
The grades for the sewer will have
to be traced through from the start
and at every point on the maps, the
necessary depth for the sewer will
have to be shown.
In calculating the size Of the sew
er pipes, it will be necessary to take
into consideration the water shed, and
the future possibilities of the terri
tory that is covered by the pipe.
A rough estimate places the sewer
district, when it is completed to cost
between $15O,OOO and 100000.
Two outlet lines have been run, one
following the natural slope of the
ground on the other side of Sprigg
street ridge till it empties into the
river at a point far below the Cape's
city limits. This will require several
miles of piping outside of the city
limits.
The other outlet that has been
planned follows a line to the south
west corner of the Houck addition,
south of town, and then strikes in a
northeastely direction for the river,
cutting under the Sprigg street ridge
thriugh tunnel.
Both outFets will be calculated and
the one that proves to be most eco
nomical for the city will be used, it
is probable.
Mr.. Silver yesterday said that the
tunnel will not have to be driven
through so far below the surface of
the ground as he had imagined when
he first began running the lines, so
that it is probable that the cost will be
considerably less than he had antici-
