Dallas, Texas. - "Uncle Ro"
Adams, perhaps the most widely
known Race character of the
Southwest, will celebrate his Tooth
birthday when Texas celebrates its
100 years of independence from
Mexico.
Born in Columbus, Georgia,
March 2, 1886, the day that Texas
patriots signed their Declaration
of Independence at Westinghouse
the Brazos, he came to Texas when
a very young boy.
For years, when he was in his
'2O's, Gro" was the personal SER
want of General Sam Houston.
When that great Texas leader died
in 1868, the Adams family migrat-
ed to Freestone County, where
'Uncle Ro" still lives with his third
wife and his oldest daughter, who
is 70. He has II children and 76
grandchildren, all living.
Through the years he has come
to be beloved character, known
through the entire Southwest for
his kindness.
Long friendships with many
Texas ranchers and businessmen
and the coincidence of his birth
day with that of Texas Independ-
ence has brought him a job with
the Texas Centennial Exposition
which will open in Dallas, June 6
and run to November 20.
Present plans, according to Will
liam A. Webb, the Exposition man.
ager, are to have him designated
as a doorman to one of the larg-
est buildings now under construc-
ton in the Exposition's $15,0O0,0OO
building program.
The Exposition is planning an
elaborate program of Race activi-
ties, which will center around the
$4,000 Hall of Negro Life and
Culture, which will be built by the
Federal Government and furnished
at an additional cost approximate
ly equal to the construction.

6. Q. P. LEADERS
HERE SEE 80
VICTORY
international News Service

Brimming with confidence over
their chances Of defeating Pres
ident Roosevelt next year, but
blank as to possible candidates,
the stalwarts Of the Republican
party gathered here today in their
first organization meeting since
the disastrous rout Of 1884, which
saw the Democrats increase their
top-heavy majority in both houses
of Congress.
The occasion brought to Wash
ington the executive committee OF
the Republican National Commit
tee, numbering some % men and
women, under National Chairman
Henry P. Fletcher. BY common
consent, Fletcher will continue in
his post until after the Republican
National Convention next year.
Then the Republican nominee for
the Presidency will choose his own
chairman.
Financing Discussed
Today's meeting was principally
to discuss party finances and to
lay the organization groundwork
for next year.
Talk of possible nominees was
officially taboo. yet the makeup
of the 1885 slate was uppermoSt
in everybody's mind. Privately,
they talked of Col. Frank Knox,
Of Gov. ALI Landon Of Kansas
and of various Senators, includ-
ing Borah Of Idaho, leader in
the "poll'' being conducted by
Robert H. Lucas If there was
any definite trend toward any
individual it was not apparent,
either in public or private dis
cussions of committee members.
It was significant. however,
that none of them thought Her
bert Hoover would again be
chosen to carry the party stand
ard. Unavailable" was the word
most frequently employed with
reference to the former Presi-
dent.
Ready With Issues
AS to issues, the Republican
Stalwarts were more certain. The
issues will be the policies Of the
Roosevelt administration, and &C
cording to all preliminary indi'
cations the Republican platform
next year will go straight down
the line in opposition to those
policies.
A single exception may be the
agricultural issue. On that, the
Republicans may have to do some
straddling, for the AAA, with It's
benefit checks and rising farm
prices, has been something OF o
boon to the agrarian West.
Nine Committee Vacancies
There are nine vacancies in the
full Republican National Commit
tee of 1O6 members, largely caused
by death. These will be filled &C
cording to the recommendations
Of the various State committees
most of which have acted.
A later meeting Of the National
Committee, probably in Decem
ber, will select the convention
city and ratify routine decisions
made by the executive committee

MANY HAVE EXAMINATION
AT THE ORTHOPEDTC CLINIC
Ninety-fOur Physically Handi-
capped of County Examined By
DIR. Bennett, Bone Specialist
A THIRD ARE NEW CASES

Through most of the day they
came, the physically handicapped
persons, who attended the semi
annual orthopedic clinic at the
health office in Oakland on Sat-
urday held by the department
and DR.. George E. Bennett, head
of the Maryland League for Grip
pied Children.
Some were on crutches, some
were carried in by their parents
or friends. One woman, living
away from the main highway south
of Red House, started to walk to Oak
land, carrying her child. A farmer,
blowing in the field, unhitched his
horses and brough her as far as Red
House, where she caught ride to
Oakland. The child was cared for and
one of the nurses took it and the
mother home after the clinic closed.
In each case presented the patient
was given an examination and advised
just what particular form of correc-
tive treatment should be used. There
were ninety-four patients examined
Saturday by DR.. Bennett and his assis-
tants, DR.. George Eaton and DR.. E.
G. Peck and Miss Mary Church, exec
utive secretary of the Maryland
League for Crippled Children; also by
R. C. Thompson, of the Vocational Re-
Mobilization service, and others. The
county health nurses, of course, were
in attendance, as was also Miss Grace
Jones, who has been rendering invalu-
able service to the afflicted for many
months.
Approximately one-third of the
cases were new ones, according to rec
ords at the health office. These came
from all parts Of the county. The
youngest patient was aged four weeks
and was afflicted with club feet. This
child is being taken to Baltimore to-
day where it is expected treatment
will be successful in correcting the de-
formity. The oldest patient was 70
years old. All have some deformity in
the bone structure of the body, and
many of the cases will be materially
aided by the treatments which will
follow these examinations.
A great many of the unfortunates
of the county have already been ben
Gifted by the orthopedic clinic held in
the past over a period of several
years.
Two days will be devoted to Garrett
county at the fall clinic, it was stated,
as the number of patients has grown
to such proportions that it is almost
impossible to care for all of them in
one day.

MRS. MARY HARVEY DEAD
AS RESULT OF ACCIDENT
Chest Crushed In Fall From A
Truck Sunday Near Bayard

Mrs. Mary Harvey, who with her
husband, l. Gaius Harvey, was con-
victed of arson at the March term of
the Garrett County Circuit Court, is
dead as the result of highway acct
dent which occurred on the Maryland
side of the Potomac River near Bay
ard, W. Va, Sunday evening.
Following the conviction of the man
and woman, the latter was placed on
parole by the Court and had been re-
siding with an aunt. Her husband was
sent to the Maryland Penitentiary for
the term of three years and it is stated
is now at the prison farm near Hagers-
town.
The accident occurring on the Gar
rett county side of the river, local au-
thorities were notified and made an
investigation when it was learned that
the woman and her thirteen-year-old
daughter, with others, were riding on
a truck when Mrs. Harvey evidently
lost her balance and fell over the side
of the vehicle, the evidence being that
her chest was crushed when it was
run over by the wheels. William Cassi-
day was driving the truck at the
time.
Neil C. Fraley, States Attorney,
made an inspection at the scene of the
accident and deemed an inquest I'M
necessary.
The woman's body was taken to the
home of her aunt, from which funeral
services were conducted. In addition
to her husband and the 13-year-old
daughter she is survived by four
year-old son.
