+ By noon the trading panic had ex-
hausted itself a little, though the lobby
and cafe of the Metropole were crowd

around any nucleus of rumor or gossip

Harlan, answering the two queries as
one. "The town is falling apart like

set in. Two full trains went east this
forenoon, and two more are scheduled
for this afternoon If the railroad peo-
pie can get the cars here"
"'Good-by, little girl, good-by,'"
hummed Grislow, entering in time to
hear the report of the flight.

By nightfall Of this first day the edi-

to reach its ful6llment. The avenue
was crowded again and the din and
clamor was the roar OF mob infuri-

just returned from posting a company

Leshington, who was not normally a

said things.

Cedar Rapids, July 22.-1n one OF
, the most tragic drownings, and one
of the most mysterious, which has oc-
CURED inrthe Cedar river in some time,
Leroy Williams, q years OF age,
city salesman for Swift & Company
lost his life at 6:15 p. m. Friday. The
body has been recovered.
williams was camping at Mammal
tan Beach with his wife and family,
and his brothers family. The men
had been coming into the city to their
work each day, and returning to the
camp by boat in the evening. Friday
however, the plan was altered ano'
instead of going by boat, Williams
came into town on a bicycle.
Returning in the evening, he went
as far as Ellis Park on the street car
and at the Sheftic boat house hired
a boat.
eoatmen Hear Splash.
At $40 he pulled away from the
dock and few minuter later en-
ployes there heard a splash and saw
a hand reach for the overturned ca
noe. Williams screamed for help, but
after the hand appeared, nothing was
seen of him until his body was taken
from the river two hours later.
The employees Of the boat house did
everything in their power to save the
man, but they could not get to him
soon enough. They sent divers out.
and called for the coroner, who re-
sponded hmm ediately.

liaans was not a good swimmer, but
could make some slight Roadway in
the water.

Hundreds Of people gathered on the
banks Of the river within few min
utes and stood waiting. A dozen
motor boats, canoes and row boats
were soon on the river to aid in the
search, but the body was not found
for two hours.
Al A. Williams, brother Of the
drowned man, arrived at the boat
house five minutes after his brother
started out. He was told that Leroy
was in the river, but at first he says,
he could not believe It, because he had
never known his brother to rent a boat
for the TIP to camp. The brother
started out in his boat, and when he
arrived in the middle Of the stream
found his brothers cap. which dis
PEELED all doubt regarding the iden-
tity Of the man.

The other members Of the camping
party came down to the dock imme-
diately and helped with the search.

canism. There was nothing either SEN

speeches or anywhere in the conven-

clared to be, from the republican
standpoint, an augury Of party success

The republican state convention H.
| Illustrated some of the best and some
or the worst phases Of the convention
plan OF handling the private affairs Of
any political party. 1t was not a con-
trolled convention. Nobody could have
bossed the job. But nominations were
made much in the old way, after the
customary buttonhoiing of delegates
and the exchange Of appeals and ac-
cusatlons. The nomination of Havner
was due to many circumstances, but
chiefly 1t was recognized by the dele
gates right from the start that Havner
was the logical man to fill out the
ticket and to strengthen it, if need be-
Whlch was the very essence of the
convention plan Of framing up tickets.
When the balloting proceeded it was
1ound that the first dozen counties
gave HaVner majority as the roll call
proceeded and this condition continued
to the end. No one county nor group
can claim credit for making the nomi-
nation. He received support from
ninety counties of the state. The
Gulher nomination was much the same
thlng, and he was supported by dele
gates from eighty-one of the counties.
But the best thing about the conven-
ton was the fact that it afforded OPP
portunity for getting together of the
good people of the state to counsel for.

views, TO visit and to scrap out their

Ventlon more nearly resembled q re-
