PENNSYLVANIA PROUD
OF HER RECORD

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. rs. ---Citi-
zens of the United States who do not
know as much about the State of
Pennsylvania as they should like,
are to be enlightened. The Keystone
State is famous for something else
bside shrewd politicians. Pittsburgh

committee whose aim will be to
make public the good things about
Pennsylvania is preparing pamphlets
for wide distribution which will
show that Pennsylvania farms con-
tain slightly over per cent of all
the livestock in the United States
This live stock is valued at over &c.

KENTUCKY REPUBS FOR
HUGHES OR ROOSEVELT

Louisville, Feb. 1S-At least sixteen,
and probably eighteen, of Kentucky's
twenty-six delegate votes in the Re-
publican National convention will be
cast for either Charles L. Hughes or
Theodore Roosevelt for the Republi-
can nomination for President, and
former Vice President Charles w.
Fairbanks will have to be content
with small fraction of a vote which
his managers thought until the last
two weeks was assured.
Information from every part of the
State is that in each of the eleven
Congressional districts of the State
two uninstructed delegates will be
sent to Chicago, but the delegates
from the Louisville district, Hepburn
and Hert, will vote for Fairbanks on
the first ballot. and it is possible that
the two delegates from the Sixth dis
trict will vote in the same way, al
though no instructions will be given.

FLORIDA ENTITLED TO
FOUR EXTRA CADETS

Washington, d. c., Feb. IS.
Under legislation enlarging the
United States Naval Academy every
congressional district in Florida Sc
cures an extra cadetship at that in
stitution These appointments will
be made on recommendation of the
members of congress under regula-
tions to be prescribed by the navy
department. Each member of Con-
,eress will be allowed to name a
principal and three alternates and
the new places will be filled by ex-
aminations April IS, 1916. How
ever, il the member of Congress de-
sires he can postpone the examina-
tion and admission until one year
hence. The bill has passed both
branches of Congress and the en-
largement of the Naval Academy is
therefore a certainty. This is the
first of the so-called preparedness
measures to pass.

Smith was called in the municipal
court yesterday morning there was
silence. The one hundred dollar bond
was declared forfeited, and the pris-
pner is legally square with the city.
But the police are confident that
the wire tappers are at work and
that they have succeeded in landing
pome victims in Miami for amounts
more or less large. In some instan-
res their operations have exceeded the
average subscription to the Y. NJ C.
a., according to reports.
The charge registered against Co
wells. of Chicago, was running a
fraudulent game and gambling" If
he is not guilty he failed to appear
in court and defend himself when he
had the opportunity.
Jerseyite Victim
The complaint against Cowells alias
Smith was made to the police by a
visitor who stated that his name is
Henry r. Vreeland, and his home is
Rutherford, New Jersey. He is stop
ping at the Waddell apartments in
this city. Mr. Vreeland took pools on
the alleged horse races to the extent
of thousands of dollars, and signed
certain papers, bills of credit and
checks. the exact amount of which he
did not know He will be able to stop
the payment of these, he believes and
the amount which he has actually lost
will not be large. The idea conveyed
by the complaint entered by this man
is that the horse races on which he
was importuned to take chances are
purely fictitious.

howard war. He said it makes the

been swept from the sea. He dwelt
on the history of international law
relating to arming merchantmen for

MENDENHALL CASE UP
TO SUPREME COURT

Clearwater, Feb. 1S-ln Talla-
hassec Tuesday, John u Bird and
Thomas Palmer filed in the supreme
court brief in tn case of j. j.
Mendenhall which as is well known
has been appealed from the circuit
court.
The brief is in line with the evil
dence submitted and with the OBJ
jections raised as to the legality of
the court of trial, and claims error
in indictment on the part of grand
jury in that it claimed to know the
instruments used in causing the
death of Miss Eliot; whereas there
was fatal difference between allega-
tions in the indictment and the evil
dence produced by the State Errors
and discrepancies of various kinds
in connection with the trial are
claimed
Last week attorneys Bird and
Palmer were in conference with Mr.
Mendenhall who is now in Jail in
Ocala The attorneys say they are
confident that the supreme court
will order the new trial asked for in
the brief, in which event they say
they will clear their client Of the
charge of murder. 1t is said, too,
that Mr.. Mendenhall is in the best
of spirits and is hopeful of new
| trial.

SOCIALISTS PREPARE
TO NOMINATE PRESIDENT

Washington, Feb. 1S.--Early next
month the Socialists expect to an
hounce who will be their candidate
lor president in the next campaign.
The Socialist party is not going to
nave a convention this year, but will
choose its presidential nominee and
shape its platform by referendum
vote.
There are several candidates in the
neld, and although the Socialists
really do not expect to win, they pre-
uict that they will poll the strong
est vote in the party's history in
'nls country on account of the ques-
oon of preparedness. James Maur-
T' the Pennsylvania labor leader,
VINO has been prominent in the fight
against preparedness, is one of the
'andidates, and Allan Benson, writ
er and lecturer, is another. These
neh represent two different groups
VI socialists, Maurer being the
eholce OF the labor element and Ben
son OF the "highbrows. There will
also be some division in the party
o'er the question of preparedness,
iOr Charles Edward Russell has
many followers. Having seen with
us own eyes what was going on
V'ef in Europe, Mr.. RUsell upon
us recent return to the United
''ates, told his party and the coun-
ny that it was time to wake up and
prepare for defense.
