Republican Convention Managers
Try to Eliminate Confusion.
BY Associated Press.
Chicago, April 12.-Delegates from
the republican national convention,
opening here June 8, will be able to
confer with representatives of other
states without leaving their seats.
To eliminate a large part of the
confusion incident to conferences be-
tween delegates on the floor, c. r.
Hall, superintendent Of the Coliseum,
has arranged for the installation Of
telephones connecting all state, dis
trict and territorial delegations.
1t is said that this will be the first
time that such system has been in
stalled at any national convention.
There will be fifty-three telephones
in service, reaching the forty eight
state groups and the representatives
Of the District of Columbia, Alaska,
Hawaii, the Philippines and no..c
Rico.
The convention architects have
completed plans for the Coliseum. in

approximately LOO to- the seating

blessed power to return to her room
and sleep!
While her fear grew she called on
her pride to let her accomplish that
brief, abhorrent journey,
Then for the first time differ
ent doubt came to her. As she watt
ed alone In this disturbing, nocturnal
Intimacy OF AN old house, she shrank
from no thought OF human intrusion,
and she wondered IL her uncle had
been afraid OF that too, OF the sort
OF thing that might lurk In the an

birth and suffering and death. But
he had gone there as an escape.

her fear defined itself ever more
clearly as something indeflnable.
With a passionate determination, to
stranglc such thoughts she held her
breath. She tried to close her mind.
She entered the corridor. She ran
It's length. She knocked at the lock-
cd door of the old bedroom. She
shrank as the echoes ratified from
the dingy walls where her candle
cast strange reflections. There was
no other answer. A sense OF an in
tolerable companionship made her
want to cry out for brilliant light,
for help, She screamed.
Uncle Silas! Uncle Silas!"
Thru the silence that crushed her
voice she became aware finally OF the
accomplishment of its mission by
death in this house. And she fled
into the main hail. She ierked at
the bell rope. The contact steadied
her, stimulated her to reason. One
slender hope remained. The oppres-
sive bedroom might have driven
Silas Blackburn thru the private hall
and down the enclosed staircase.
Perhaps he slept on the lounge in
the library.

CHAPTER !.
Katherine Hears the Sly Step of
Death at tho Cedars.
The night of his grandfather's
mysterious death at the Cedars,
Bobby Blackburn was, at least until
midnight. In New York. He was held
there, by the unhealthy habits and
companionships which recently had
aneered his grandfather to the point
of threatening disciplinary change
in his will. AS consequence he
drifted into that strange adventure
which later was to surround him
with dark shadows and overwhelm-
ing doubts.
Before following Bobby thru his
black experience, however. 1t Is bet
ter to know what happened at the
Cedars where his cousin, Katherine
Perrine was. except for the servants,
alone with old Silas Blackburn who
seemed apprehensive of some sly APP
proach of disaster.
At 20 K9therine was too young,
too light hearted for this care of her
uncle in which she had persisted as
an antidote for Bobby's shortcom-
ings. She was never in harmony
with the mouldy house or its sur
roundings, bleak. deserted, unfriendly
to content.
Bobby and she had frequently
urged the old man to give 1t up, to
move, as 1t were, into the light. He
had always answered angrily that his
ancestors had lived there since be-
fore the revolution, and that what
had been good enough for them was
good enough for him. So that night
Katherine had to hear alone the sly
stalking of death in. the house. She
told it all to Bobby the next day
what happened. her emotions, the
impression made on her by the peo-
pie who came when it was too late
to save Silas Blackburn.
Sine said, then. that the CID man
had behaved oddly for several days.
as if he were afraid. That night he
ate practically no dinner. He couldn't
keep still. He wandered from room
to room, his tired eyes apparently
seeking. Several times she spoke to
him.

worries you?"
He grumbled unintelligibly or fall

According to Ping Rode, Mays has

Cobb is said to make II his business

Cobb denies that he entertains
feeling of animositv toward the Yank
hurler. The southerner, however, Is
of the opinion that Mays likes to see
how close he can come to hitting the
batters on the head, and accordinSiy
Cobb refuses to be bluffed into fatten-

q mental breakdown was responsible

There was no question. The man

spoke of his grandson:

Scenes approaching those of a 1ynching were enacted in Oak street this mprning, when Giacoma Chrisa puma, of 7461k Oak street, who was arrested by Officers Maloney and Zen der, was taken to several houses to be identified by the mothers of a number of little girls whom the man is claimed to have bothered
 A small mob of angry women gath cred in Lafayette park, and for few moments threatened Chrisapuna with broomStickS, clubs and stones. The officers, who are members of the "vice squad.'' sent in a hurry call for the police patrol, and the prisoner was hustled to headquarters before the irate mothers could injure him.
 It is alleged that the man has been annoying a number of little girls in the park, and his arrest followed numerous complaints which have been made by the children's parents. Chrisapuna is now being held under 1000 bonds on charges of breach of the peace, for trial in the city court tomorrow morning.
