The Savages Out to Make 1t
Two Straight Today.
Otis Lambeth Again Chosen to
Take the Mound.

For the time being, at least, Mana
ger baltimore is going to use the
George Stallings tactics in working
his pitchers. That is he is going to
use the three good ones as long as
they remain good and keep the broken
sticks for relief work.
The new policy went into effect to-
day when Otis Lambeth was chosen to
perform in the second game of the
series with Des Moines. Following
Lambeth, Hall will be on deck for to-
morrow and West in the hole for Fri
day. LATHE believes that the H-L-W
trio will be able to keep the club on
the climb until Savage succeeds in
landing another good artists.
Since leaving Topeka Savage has
only been heard from once, and it is
presumed that he is having a harder
time finding what he wants than
might have been expected.
A large delegation of visiting mer-
chants was expected at this after
Moons game. Isbell stated this morn
ing that he was contemplating a

Wife, 20, Dead; Banker and
Daughter May Die.
Son-in-Law Awakened by Tur-
mOil Escapes Injury.
CARRY BODY TO BASEMENT
Find Mrs. Goodnight in Cellar
With Skull Crushed.
Officers Puzzled as to Motive;
Wasn't Robbery.

Wills Points, Texas, June Mrs.
H. F. Goodnight, 20, was killed; her
husband, who is president of the Van
Zant National bank here was fatally
injured. and their daughter, Mrs R.
J. Morau, was beaten into insensibilit
in their home early today by persons
who used either a large hammer OF
an axe as a weapon. Physicians said
although Mrs. Morau probably would
live. it was only a question of hours
before the death of Mr.. Goodnight
would make the crime double mur-
der.
The house was found in order this
morning, with no signs of attempted
robbery. and nothing as far as known
was missing. The Goodnight home is
in the outskirts of the town Accord
ing to the story told by R. ]. Morau,
son-in-law, he was awakened by the
screams of his wife in an adjoining
room. He found her unconscious in
her bed. Morau sought Mr.. Good
night, but found him in an almost
dying condition in his bedroom on the
second floor.
Murderer Left No Cews.
Mrs. Goodnight was found in the
cellar dead, having been carried from
her bedroom on the second floor to
the basement Her head was crushed
in the same manner as the other vic
TINS. She had evidently died almost
instantly.
Officers were puzzled early TODAY as
to the motive of the crime and the
identity of the slayer. Although the
sheriff's and city marshaPs depart
ments were vigorously working on the
case 1t was said that nothing could be
ascertaiEed until Mrs. Morau regaIned
consciousness and related her story of
the attack on the aged couple and her
self
AS far as known here no person had
any grievances against the Goodnight
fam1iy and it had been almost defi-
nitely established that robbery was not
the object.

Chicago, June kansas delegates
went into the opening session of the
Republican national convention today
with their minds still nuddled as to
the final turn which they may make
in the fight for the presidency. AL
most every delegate admitted that
serious situation faced the party.
Every delegate quietly told his friends
he was on the lookout for subma-
rines. But at the opening of the big
show, there was tendency among
Kansas president makers to distribute
their votes and a Capitalization Of bal
lots is not expected until some can
didate shows a probable winning
streak.
Anti Hughes delegates on the Kan
sas delegation will probably continue
firm, although the Hughes boosters
were today claiming at least an even
dozen sunflower votes after the first
few ballots. On the other hand the
Allies were confident they would
shake the Hughes following unless the
justice showed some unexpected
strength. Unless Hughes goes into
the fight in third speed. his opponents
on the Kansas delegation will try to
grab a few of his delegates after the
first three or four ballots. To hold
his strength away from the ROot-Bur-
n-Weeks-Fairban Sherman com BIZ
nation, Hughes must keep up a full
head of steam on every ballot
No Dark Horse Talk.
There is little talk among the Kan
sas delegates of dark horse candi-
dates. They admit that the probable
action of Roosevelt as affecting the
nominee of the Republican convention
is a really grave matter None of the
Kansas delegates, however, have come
out in the open for the colonel. At a
caucus of the delegates. it is reported.
though, that several of the delegates
signified a willingness to support the
colonel if the state delegation should
line up for him. But that doesn't
change things greatly. The men who
really claim to know things about
those twenty delegates sleep soundly
in the belief that they will never, nay
never, go to Roosevelt.
Urge a Split Vote.
Two conferences of the Kansas dele
gates were held late Tuesday afternoon
and Tuesday night. Another confer
ence this evening is probable. The
advice and counsel of Senator Charles

Chicago. June 1.-THE hosts of Re-
publicanism met in Quadrennial ses-
sion today with about as much knowl-
edge of who they would choose some
time this week as presidential nom1-
nee as Noah had about the probable
duration OF the deluge. The simile
is eminently fitted-for outside the
great Coliseum, full drab skies tpat
a ceaselesS doWnpour of cold rain, just
as they had been giving vent to their
feelings since yesterday morning.
Today's session was to be merely "a
transfer of talk from the hotel 1obbies
to the Coliseum The program was to
meet, listen to a keynote speech by
Temporary Chairman Warren G.
Harding; receive and accept the tenn
porary roll of delegates; announce the
