THAT HUGHES IS IN LEAD
The allies generally conceded that Mr.
Hughes was in the lead, but this did
not stand in the way of their efforts
to hold their forces in hand They
plan to prevent an early stampede to
Hughes. in the hope that delay may
bring into tho situation some new
element which would weaken him.
The general opinion that several ball

MAY DE TANTAMOUNT
TO COLONEL'S NOMINATION

The keynote speech At the Progress
sive convention is expected by many
20 he tantamount TO placing Colonel
Roosevelt in nomination. Many ex-
pect tremendous demonstration
there, threatening TO sweep aside all
attempt at delay. How far this view
prevails is illustrated by the fact that
Clifford hinchot, Victor Murdoch
Henry j. Allen and other Progress sives
At a conference agreed that nothing
short OF demand for delay from
Roosevelt himself should stand in the
way OF his immediate nomination.
The Republican managers consid er
that their position has been strength
ened by the fact that all along they
nave been ready 10 present for con-
sideration a list of candidates any
one of whom could command the sup
port of the others.
To offset this condition, the name OF
Senator La Toilette was brought for
ward. The Republicans Immediately
rejected ii and charged the Progress
siVes with insincerity in presenting
the name OF candidate they were
unwilling to accept themselves.
The Progressive managers then de-
manded that the Republicans bring for
ward name The Republicans re-
sponded by suggesting Former Senator
Burton. of Ohio, arguing that he could
unite the support OF all the favoritc
sons. draw strength from the pacifist
element and had incurred no cnmities
among the foreign born voters The
objections of the Progressive mana
gers 10 Mr.. Burton were voiced by

Tor condition which the Progressive

1t developed to-day that there is a
growing disposition to evolve a con-

utilization with the Republicans The
other element demands the acceptance
of Colonel Roosevelt as the only basis
OF compromise. They 70 so far as to
say that, even II Colonel Roosevelt
should indorse the candidacy of such
a man as Justice Hughes, the Progress

leader-for instance. Governor Hiram

The varying counsels have been
his followers, and it is surmised that
they have had much influence In caus-
ing him to remain silent. During the
evening the word was circulated that
Colonel Roosevelt had manifested a
disposition TO follow the advice OF tho
Progressives at any cost, and the gem
eral opinion was that nothing would

Washington. for the re-
naming modified units of the nation
al guard to proceed to the border
have been suspended by the War De-
partment. No official explanation has
been made, but it is known that the
delicacy Of the railroad strike situa-
ton has been the moving considera-
ton.
The suspension of the orders to the
troops, which would have moved some
$4,000 men to the border should not
be taken as an indication that the
presidents negotiations with the rail-
road brotherhood and the railroad
managers have taken an unfavorable
turn, but is measure OF caution. 1t
was considered highly undesirable
that all the remaining guardsmen
should be moved to the border while
there was a possibility Of a railroad
strike in which they might be called
upon to preserve order throughout
some of the states. There is even
the possibility that some OF the
troops, in the event of strike, might
be called upon to guard or operate
mail trains and trains supplying the
troops already on the border.
The suspension OF the orders pre-
vents the immediate movement of the
troops from Kentucky, Ohio and Yer
mont, and the movement OF all other
modified units which were to have
gone forward as soon as they were
equipped. Some of the Kentucky
Ohio and Vermont troops were about
ready to go to the border.
1t is clear that the suspension Is
not a revocation of the orders, and
that if the railroad strike situation
clears up the troops will be moved to
the border line.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH

Before Precent investigation Is Com

Been Made From 10 to 80 Sam
Piles From Every Parish.
New Orleans


During the last trip Of the labora,
tory car of the Louisiana State Board
OF Health, beginning in April, 104S
samples Of wafer from every quarter
Of the state were collected and sub
jected to archaeological test.
The process Of discovering the quail
ity OF the water supply throughout the
state, inaugurated by DR.. Bowling, is
the first of the kind to be started in
this country, through Kentucky some
time ago made an investigation OF
the same nature, but by no means as
farreaching The laboratory car
runs to every quarter of the state and
when stops are made an automobile
is unloaded and proceeds through the
country, collecting samples of water
from streams, wells and sources of
communal supply. The sampling Of
the water from well, at first glance,
affects only the residents Of the farm
stead, but the scource Of the supply
in the neighboring farms is probably
the same, and IL the water be good
there is a probability that the wa.
ter from the other wells In the
neighborhood is also good, unless
there is immediate contamination. If
the supply should prove to be bad, the
neighboring farmers are at once put
on their guard and can send in sam
pie FROM their wel.s ter analysis. -
The analysis made is bacteriologi-
cal only, every form Of organic life
being examined by careful test. The
result has not yet been announced,
but the compilation is in progress and
will soon be published by the state
board. Some Of the communal sources
of supply have been found to be i'm
pure, and the board has notified the
local authorities and directed the
proper method Of publication.
There have been cases decided in
the North in which the municipal gov
eminent has been held responsible for
the effects Of impure water. and in
some cases criminal prosecutions
have been successfully launched
against the municipal officials. Before
the present investigation is concIud-
ed examinations will have been made
Of. from ten to thirty samples from
every parish Of the state, and good
idea will be had of the water supply
of every family in Louisiana. Where
the water is found not to be potable
the supply will be condemned by the
state board and notices will be post
ed warning the public against drink
ing, and if the water is consumed the
person drinking it will do so at his
own risk and with open eyes.

JOIN BALKAN FIGHT - ALTER
NATE GAINS AND LOSSES ON
THE ENTIRE FRONT.
SAYS OFFENSIVE is GENERAL
Allies Are Believed to Have a Force
of Some 100000 British, French and
Servan Troops on the Sa-
loniki Front.

Paris.-Italian troops began to dis
embark at Saloniki, says Hayas dis
patch from that point.
On leaving their ships, the dispatch
says, the Italians passed through Sa-
loniM to camp, preceded by military
bands Of the allies and cheered by
the populace.
Active participation by italian
troops in the Saloniki campaign would
mean the existence of state OF war
between Germany and Italy.
Germany is directing the opera
tons against the allies on this front
and, as the official German reports
show, has forces there. Some Aus
trian troops also probably are en-
plOyed, and possibly Turks, but the
major portion of the army is made
up of Bulgarians. Recent reports
have indicated withdrawal Of Aus
trian troops at the Balkans for use
on the Russian and Italian fronts.
As the allies are believed to have
a force of some 100000 British, French
and Servian troops on the Saloniki
front, the sending of re-enforcements
at this time, just after the opening OF
bostilties on large scale, would in
dictate that the allies have embarked
on campaign of extensive proper
tions.
Italy, which has q considerable sur

many. There have been several re.
cent indications, however, that de-
claration of hostilities was forthcOm-
ing. A commercial treaty between
these nations was abrogated, Ger
man court ruled that Germany is act
ually, though not formally, at war with
Italy, and last week it was reported
that the defense of Triest would be
taken over by Germany. Italian par
ticipation in the Balkan operations
hitherto has been limited to occupa-
tion of the Albanian port Of Avlona,
which was effected before Italy de-
clared war on Austria.
