F Farmer-Labor Convention Finds Itself In Hands
 Of Reds
By RODNEY F. BUTCHER heased Wire to The Agc-HernId)

CHICAGO, July 1.-The farmer labor party Wednesday night was making a hero o5 effor. to save itself from disruption and to keep the con ference of political minorities. which it called here for the purpose of building powerful third party from degenerating into free-for- all forum of ultra radicals.
 The situation became more hopeful during the day when the conserva- tive factions finally got together with some of the less radical mem bers of the elements which had taken their own convention out of their hands Tuesday and appointed two committees, one of 15 men on organi- zation and the other on general reso- lutions.
 The success of this conference of farmer -laborftes. Federation of La bor representatives, members of the proletarian party, the workers party and various other radical and progressive organizations, now de- bends on the success of the organi- zation committee in formulating definite program agreeable to all sides. This committee also expects to appoint a permanent committee including representatives of each or ganization represented here.
 The farmer-labor party will accept no program for the organization of third party until it knows what it is getting into. It is likely that the committee will not make its recom- mendations strong enough to suit labor and the workers party repre- sentatives. but the latter must give in or forfeit the preferred co-opera- tion of the farmers.

TABERT DIED. OFPNEUMON|A, SAYS DOCTOR
Dr. Jones Is Questioned By Prosecution Concerning Certificate Filed With State Department Of Health

LAKE CITY. Fla, July 4,-EXpert testimony from six witnesses pres erted by the defense today in the trial of Thomas Walter Higginbot- ham, former convict whipping boss, charged with the murder of Martin Tabert of North Dakota, tended to show that Tabert came to his death from labor pneumonia and not from traumatic pneumonia as the state is contending.
 The six experts also corroborated the testimony of Dr. T. Capers Jones. Putnam Lumber company's camp physician, who attended Tabert while he was serving a convict sentence in the lease camp of the company. pr. Jones testified Tabert died from la bor pneumonia. and that on making a thorough examination of his body he found no traces of traumatism.

GREAT LAKES STATION IS AGAIN IN ACTION

 Arriving For Training

CHICAGO, July 4.-(By Associated Press )-The Great Lakes training station, where more than half the sailors who manned the American fighting ships during the World war were trained, has again, after nearly years cessation. begun the training of mid western youths for the ma tions navy. the first contingents un- der the new plan having arrived here yesterday and today
 Great Lakes, situated thousands of miles from salt water, created astonishment among naval experts by the manner in which youths from the farms and inland cities of the nation were trained without stepping foot aboard a ship,
 Recently it's existence was threat ened by cut by Congress of the ma val appropriation by which it was to be maintained. Chicago and North Shore citizens, aroused by the pos sibility of the abandonment of the station, began a strenuous campaign which resulted in an appropriation being made and the station will con- tinue, for a year at least.

COURT ROMANCE. IS CULTIVATED IN
 LONDON MARRIAGE.
Foster Sister Of Mrs. Enrico CaruSo Weeds New York
 Lawyer

LONDON, July 4.-Miss Anna Bol- chi Benjamin, adopted daughter of the late Park Benjamin of New York, man, a New York attorney, at Cor pus Christi Chapel Covent GarGen, today. No guests were present.
 NEW YORK, July 4.-The :, mar riage in London today of Miss Anna Bolchi Benjamin, adopted sister of Mrs. Enrico Caruso, and Arthur Louis Pullman, was the climax of a romance that started in the courts where Pullman made Miss Benjamin rich mans daughter and heiress, over the bitter objections of her adopted brothers and sisters.
 Park Benjamin, New York patent attorney and autor, retained MT. Pullman several years ago when he decided to adopt Miss Bolchi, young woman of Italian parentage, who had been in his family for several years. Mrs. aruso and her brother, Park. Jr., and Romeyn Benjamin fought the adoption to a standstill in the New York courts but Pullman took the case to Wilkesbarre, Pa, where the adoption was allowed.
 Shortly before he died, MT. Ben jamin in and instructed him to draft q new will giving his estate of more than S300,000 to the adopted daugh- ter.
 T want Anna to have my estate,' he said T want you to see that she gets it."
 After MT, Benjamin died, his chill dren filed contest of the will, which cut them off practically without q cent, and Pullman prepared to carry out his retainer's instructions to "see that she gets the estate."
 The contest was settled out of court, however, Miss Benjamin agreeing to have certain caustic com ments about Benjamin's children stricken from his will and the chill dren accepting a small cash payment.
 Recently Miss Benjamin sailed for Europe, taking with her the ashes of her father, and casting them to the winds in mid ocean from the deck of a steamer, in compliance with his last request.
 MT. Pullman turned his business over to his partner few days later and sailed, saying he planned to spend year abroad.
