ROME, June 12.-Nessers and kam-'

eyewitnesses of the killing and burning
of the twenty-five negro Christian con-
verts who were beatified by the Catho-
lie Church last Sunday, are writing their

candidate will be considered at great
length, 1t is understood.
McAdoO Favored by Rank and File

length, IL Is understood.
McAdoo Favored by Rank and File.
William g. McAdoo Is undoubtedly
the favorite candidate of the rank
and file of the democracy of New York
state, but he has very little if any
standing with the state democratic
organization. In certain circles, though.
there is strong opinion that Tam
many may swing to McAdoo. for re-
ports to the effect that truce has
been patched up between President
Wilson's son-in-law and Chief Muir
ply, have been in circulation for
some time.
The Empire state delegates will
place the unit rule-question before the
national delegation for a decision
upon it's arrival at San Francisco. At
the Albany conference the delegation
adopted the unit rule agreement over
the protest of Mayor Lunn of Schenec-
tady, and handful of his supporters.
and he announced that he would ap-
peal from this action at the national
convention.
Urge Glynn for Permanent Chairman.
Former Gov. Martin H. Glynn. who
has been mentioned at different times
as a vice presidential possibility. is
expected to be chosen as permanent
chairman of the democratic conVen-
ton. However. in this state. 1t Is not
believed that he will be placed on the
national ticket. 1t is understood that
William Jennings Bryan is one of the
men who came out for Glynn as vice
President. but the local man has con-
sistently denied that he has ever Sc
riously considered a place on the ma
tional ticket.
In the event that Gov. Smith is
placed on the national ticket it would
open the field for democratic guber-
natorlal candidates in New York this
fall. Up to the present time Gov.
Smiths name Is the only one to be
linked up with the gubernatorlal nom
ination, and if he were eliminated a
brisk race would be started. Lieut..
Gov Harry C Walker already is be-
ing doomed by his friends. and it is
conceded that he would make strong
candidate. JAMES H. MANSELL.

Slanting Masts and tunnels.
New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Voyagers on the ocean have often
asked the question why masts and
tunnels slant backward on sailing
and steam vessels. There is no set
rule for the position of masts and
tunnels. Mariners have declared that
in some cases masts and tunnels on
steam vessels slant in order to follow
the general lines of the vessel. The
slanting has nothing to do with the
air resistance, apparently. because
there are many steamships where the
masts and tunnels are perfectly
vertical.
