HARMONY, KEYNOTE

meeting. Morgan, with a personal
following that is even stronger than
the progressive support in the con-
vention, is picked by party leaders as
the convention. He will probably go
into the convention with almost every
vote in the big Seventh district He is
almost equally strong in the Eighth
and Fourth districts and has a most de-
termined following in a number of the
big eastern counties.
Question ON Fourth Man.
On fourth position, convention
dopesters divide. Maybe some sudden
turn today or tonight in the milling in
the hotel Hobbies will settle the con-
troversy and make the decision as
easy and certain as in the selection of
the winners of the first three places.
Regulars today acceded to the de-
mandS of the progreSsives that one of
the four men on the delegation at
large should be a man who in 1912
supported Roosevelt but returned to
the party in the fight of 1914. That
situation means at least half of the
Big Four to the progressive element of
the party. In the selection of this
man, however, there is much doubt
and uncertainty.
Many First district delegates will
urge the election of T. D. Smith of
Hiawatha, for the fourth place. Smith
the First district congressional con-
vention. He has friends and sup
porters in other districts of the state
and he must be reckoned with in
Tuesdays voting.
Hanna a Factor.
Another strong harmony candidate
before the convention will be George
W. Hanna of Clay Center. Hanna
went with the men who supported
Roosevelt four years ago. In 1914
he was back fighting in the trenches
for the Republican party He is
strong in the Fifth district. Fact is,
Hanna today came to Topeka with the
endorsement of the Fifth district con-
gressional convention. He has active
friends both among regulars and pro-
gressives and is regarded as one OF
the logical harmony selections.
Joseph L. BristoW of Salina is also
candidate. But Bristow lost en-
dorsement of the Fifth district to
Hanna. He has the endorsement of
Douglas county. But so, also, has
Smith. Still the former United States
senator has friends in the convention
and his candidacy may add to the I'M
certainty of the results.
BriStow's troubles extend beyond
the point of a mere shortage of en-
dorSementS Bristow is chairman of
the utilities commission. The spirit of
the public utilities act is in strict OPP
position to Bristow's acceptance of
place on the delegation. Many of the
delegates to the state convention are
friends of the utilities act They b.
ject strenuously to violation of the

PART OF PERRY BURNED
Six Buildings Destroyed; Volunteer
Fireman Injured by Explosion.

II
Perry, Kan, March 20.-One man
was seriously injured and six build
ings were destroyed at a loss of S1O,-
900, in a fire here Saturday. The
flames threatened the entire business
section of the town but a further
spread was prevented by the arrival of
chemical engine from Lecompton.
The fire was discovered at 4 o'clock
in the afternoon. 1t started in an old
ice house, and by the time the fighters
arrived it had spread to the ice plant
of c.. F. Bridson. A large tank of
ammonia in the ice plant exploded
and injured c. L. Lawson, a black
smith who was one of the volunteer
fire fighters. Several other buildings
caught fire frequently and it was nee
essary to use buckets to prevent fur
Their loss
A blacksmith shop, harness shop,
meat market and a doctors office
were among the property destroyed.
Efforts of the firemen were futile in
extinguishing the blaze and they con-
fined their work to preventing further
spread.

TWO YEARS FOR REPAIRS
Detonring Of Western Maryland
Trains Is Planned.

Details for the detouring of trains
OF the Western Maryland Railway
over the Green Spring Valley Branch
OF the Northern Central Railway
during the repairs TO the tunnel be-
tween Union and Fulton Stations
were announced Friday by the
Public Service Commission. They
were submitted to the commission by
Chief Engineer Phelps and Trans
portation Expert Duer. An interest
Ing note in the reports filed was that
1t would take two years for the rail-
road company to complete the work.
During this time but one track can
be used at time. and the detour OF
the Western Maryland trains Is made
necessary.
The report also states that the
road through the valley Is OF So
pound rail, but that is heavy enough
for the Western Maryland trains. No
Western Maryland trains are to stop
at Green Spring Valley points except
for siding purposes, and the Northern
Central must pay all expenses for
maintenance and roadbed.
Eleven trains, all passenger, Will
be detoured daily. Five Of these will
be westbound and six eastbound.
The schedule of these trains will
be as follows:
Leave Hillen Station: 1910 a. m.
for Cumberland; 4.04 p. m. for Hag-
erstown: 8. p. m. for Cumberland:
10 p. m, for Hagerstown; $3.50 p. m
