q. o. P. AND MOOSE COMMITTEE
FOUGHT TO DEADLOCK
Radical Bull Moosers today threat
en- to sweep over Geo. Perkins and
his conservative crew, nominate
Roosevelt and then go home, leaving
the G. o. P. either to take the colo
mel or a third party.
Yesterday the conservatives, led
by Perkins and Bill Finn managed to
head of the stampede that threat
ened the immediate nomination of
Teddy on the excuse of a peace con-
ference with the G. o. P. That con-
ference is over. Nothing much was
accomplished. And the spirit Of the
delegates, that was with the radicals
led by Victor Murdoch and Henry
Allen, will again make itself felt
today.
Perkins, Finn and the others who
favor a G. o. P. alliance were up
early this morning trying to head off
the avalanche. But they looked ex-
tremely worried.
At this mornings Bull Moose ses-
sion the radicals are fighting for the
immediate nomination of the colo
mel The conservatives, led by Geo.
Perkins, are against this. The latter
seem anxious to get together again
with the old guard.
The all-night conference between
the two parties split up when the
Bull Moosers chung to their stand
that no peace was possible unless
Roosevelt was given the nomination
or another man favorable to the
colonel. Both sides are waiting word
from Oyster Bay.

ENGLISH WARSHIP HOLDS UP
STEAMER WITHIN TERRI
TORiAG WATERS.

Washington.-Niol Of Amer1-
boat, Which held UP and examined the
Philippine steamer Gebu within the
territorial waters Of the Philippines
was reported to the War Department
by Gov.-Gen. Harrison. The dispatch
Immediately was transmitted to the
State Department and will be made
the subject of vigorous protest TO
Great Britain.
The incident occurred one mile and
a half off Cardiac Island. According
TO the report of the steamers master,
Lieut.. Bales, commanding II. NJ. S.
destroyer No. 2. boarded the Gebu,
made inquiries about her passengers
and took both the ships manifest and
her passenger list. Apparently the
officer was searching for man named
Badly who was not found.
On releasing the Cebu, the lieuten-
ant made this note on her log:
Boarded at 800 a m, 9-11-16, ex-
amined and passed.
There has been more than one com
plant about the activity of the Brit
ish vessels around the Philippines,
and while Gov Gen. Harrisons report
furnishes the basis for specific pro-
test, it IS probable that Great Britain
will be called upon to restrict the
operations of her patrolling squadron
generally IN and near the territorial
waters of the islands
In order that there might be no
mistake about where the Cebu was az
the time she was held up. her exact
position was given by the master as
follows:
Latitude IA degrees, Is minutes;
longitude 120 degrees. So minutes, or
one and a half miles from Carabao Is

The Bulgarians sustained enormous
losses in a battle of 30 hours, the dis

With the sWiftest assault yet re-
corded in the Somme battle, the
French captured the whole system of
German first line trenches between
tie region south of Combles and the
Somme, accomplishing the feat in less
than half an hour. Without a mo

success and vigorously pushed for
ward to the east. reaping the fruits
of their initial blow They took the
strategically important Hill No. 145
and captured the whole of Marrieres
Wood. The end of this whirlwind ar
tack saw the French IN compete pos
session of the Teuton trenches as far
as the Peronne-Bethune highway,
Which they are now menaeing, having

Arkansas grows a good many acres

more than one-half of the entire corn
acreage there is not grown corn
enough to really pay for the invest
ment and labor There are at least
two important reasons why Arkansas
is not growing corn at i profit. The
land on much of the farming portions
of Arkansas has been farmed too long
with too little attention given to soil
fertility. Our farming lands must be
made richer through clovers and barn
yard manure before corn can be pro-
duced at a profit. The second reason
why corn cannot be produced success
fully is because few farmers have 81
tempted in serious way to improve
their corn by breeding or by field Sc
lection of seed. September. therefore,
