SWEEPING VICTORY
IN MISSOURI SEEN
BY NJ ADOO.LEADER

ST. LOUIS, March 9.-The presi-
Dental aspirations Of United States
Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri,
and William G.. McAdoo received a
severe setback in the opinion of
local politicians as result of the
action of ward and township and
county conventions held in Missouri.
| Following closely upon the action
of ward and township conventions
throughout the state Friday, early
returns last night from county con-
ventions held today, indicated a fur
Their defeat for Senator Reed in his
effort to obtain state Endorsement
and the almost complete failure Of
McAdoo supporters to gain suffi.
cient delegates to control the Demo
cratic state convention which meets
at Springfield April Is.
The Democratic county conven-
tons today elected 1,158 delegates to
the Democratic state convention,
which in turn will elect 40 delegates
from Missouri, eight at large with
half vote each and 80 district dele
gates to the national convention in
New York.
st. Louis delegates elected 206 of
the 1,1o8 in mass meetings. All eX-
cept few of these are regarded as
favorable to the candidacy of SEN
ator Reed.
The, majority of the delegates
elected today, however, are said to
be hostile to Reed, but uninstructed.
OF the first So counties out of ia
in the state reporting the action Of
the county conventions, Al elected
delegates hostile to Reed and six in
structed their delegates for the SEN
ator. -, ".
OF the 3d. only six 1,ere instructed

structed for former Governor Fred
erick d. Gardner, of Missouri
The total number of delegates
from rural Missouri in this group
instructed for Senator Reed is 81,
while As are instructed for McAdoo
and the remaining 27S were unin-
structed except against Senator
Reed.
Senator Reed tonight reiterated his
announcement that he would not
make a statement regarding his de,
feat until the results are definitely
known.
Il may have lost-if so, I would
rather be defeated fighting for prin-
ciples / believe to be right than gain
a victory by their abandonment"
Reed asserted
Breckenridge Long. a McAdoo sup
porter. in a statement tonight de-
clared "the Democrats of Missouri
have spoken with positive tone and
have left no doubt of their convic-
TONS" and asserted the decision is
a sweeping victory for the principles
of progressive democracy"
Clean politics and a clean gov
eminent is the demand of Missouri
Democrats Long said. "a return
to the honesty in the national gov
eminent is the. need of the hour. All
administration of the government
must again find its basis in the con-
fidence of the people"

In House Escapes
And Shoots Captor

LOUISVILLE, Ky, March s.
Held prisoners for three days, hand
cuffed to a bedpost, while jailer
prepared in his sight an improvised
operating table upon which he was
to be subjected to major opera.
tioh at the hands Of his captor, Will
liam Gates, 81, freed himself to-
night, shot to death Richard Heaton,
33, and escaped.
Mrs. Mary Lee Heaton, widow of
the slain man, told police they said,
that she was aware her husband
was holding Gates a prisoner and
knew of Heaton's plan to mutilate
his captive.
While on the first floor of the
house in which Gates was imprison-
ed, she said, she heard two shots
from an upstairs room. Gates rush
ed downstairs, handouts hanging
from one wrist, told her he had
shot her husband, and fled.
When police reached the prison
room they found Heaton fatally
wounded by two pistol bullets. In
the room was found the improvised
operating table, together with sur
gical instruments, rubber aprons
and bandages.
The slain man was a member of
merchandise brokerage firm. Gates
was said to have been a former en-
plOye, but had quit Heatons serV-
ice about four years ago.
Besides interviewing Mrs. Heaton,
it was indicated police were holding
for questioning a woman operative
of a private detective agency in
Chicago who had been retained by
Heaton.
The scene of the Imprisonment
and staying, house in residential
district, is three or four miles from
the Heaton home. The house, police
said, they had learned was rented
early in the week by Heaton.

valued at $27,O0O,OOO, most of it in
cash and securities. is said to be
awaiting H. C. Jennings, S1-year-
old Confederate veteran and apple
vendor, and the heirs of his five de-

claimed, is reposing in the vault of
Chicago trust company, left there

Jennings was unmoved when told
