One candidate entered and one got

handicap race, Wednesday.
The entry is Louis c. Ivindon, who

sition. The withdrawcr is Wm. X. Herman,
republican, llrst entered for city Judge

Crumpacker was promoted to the
head of the ticket.
Wednesday, however brought his
unm uncement that he was not a can
didate for mayor, city judge or any
other ottlce. He declined to make any
statement as to his reasons for keep
ing out.
However, the republicans will have
& ticket in the field.
Ticket in neld.
You can 4ank on that, is the assur
ance made, by the men who attended
the meeting Tuesday night of the "in
surgent" republicans, who had re
fused to be, drawn into the citizens
camp.
"We'll have a ticket out, all right,"
Faid George M. Fountain, one of the
building spirits among the "insurg
ents. "There'll be no difficulty about
that. And it'll bo a real republican
ticket, with no democrats in it.
"This citizens' movement will flat
ten out.' he added. "ome repub
licans have left their party to go into
it, but the party will go along just
the sam, Just as it did last fall
when some, republicans went over to
the bull moosers."
Fountain, who was appointed on
the republican executive committee
pome time ago with Elmer Crockett
and F. A. Bryan, was chcairman of
the insurgents meeting which was
3ield in the office of W. X. Rergan in
the Jefferson building. There were
22 members present.
"As many as usually turn out to
any central committee meeting, w'as
Fountain's comment.
Fountain stated that candidates
wore not discussed. The matter of
tilling out the city central committee
was taken up. and will come up for
settlement at the next meeting to be
held Friday night. He said that
despite the Tribune's secret meeting
held last Friday night in the Oliver
hotel, made every effort to rout the
old party from the field, a ticket will
be in the race.
The withdrawal of Rergan leaves
tho republican ticket with but two
representatives, Wm. I. Xtes, candi
date for clerk, and Theodore K. Har
mon. 'is i:. Washington boulevard,
for councilman from the Fourth ward.
Nies was present at the republican
meeting Tuesday night and announced
that although he hail been offered the
place on tho citizens' ticket, he was
in the rare for election under the re
publican banner, and would stick.
Harmon, who is" an employe of the
linger company, also said that he
would stay in the race.
ImIIhIoii ihes Reasons.
Mr. I.andon in announcing his de
cision made public a formal letter of
acceptance to the progressive com
mittee, which last week asked him to
be the party's candidate.
At the ame time Fandon laid down
two principles which he will incor
porate in his platform. They relate
to the enforcement of the lbjuor laws
and the reduction of gas and electric
lialit r;tt s. His declaration of prin-
c'pl- in its entirety will be made pub
li lat.-r.
landon has had the matter under
careful consideration since approach
ed by the committer with the peti
tion last week and Wednesday sent
tli" following letter of acceptance to
the progressive party committee:
' lentlemen : I have considered, in
all cf its angles, your Invitation to
nnnounco myself as the candidate for
th ohiizh otlice of mayor of South
P-nd. subject to the primary election.
It is n edleFs t assure you that the
honor conn s pot untemprred with a
sense of responsibility which election
to this office will invite. And yet

your nominee at the pri-
merles eontident that our attitude to

dearest wish. I would be far from
human did I not appreciate to the
fullest the manifestation of your es-tet-m
and x'onTidence. whi di I prize,
even more highly than the honor of
freeing your candidate conveys."
Here are the two ph nks in the plat
form which Landon announced Wed
nesday :
"To rigidly enforce all law regu
lating the sale of intoxicating liquors.
"To life every means, legal anil
otherwise, to compel such reduction
in the prire of gra sold to the city
and its inhabitants as will comply
with the provisions of the franchise
now in force, which. It has been es
imated. should not exceed "." cents
per l.",!0 feet. Alo to secure such
reduction in electric lighting rates
both to the city and private persons

FOR PRES. WILSON
Summer Home is in Country
Where Modern Improve
ments Have Made Little
Headway.
RY 11UKTOX K. STAN I) IS 1 1.
(Written for the United Press.)
WINDSOR, Vt.. July 2:1. Pres.!
Lincoln studied by candle light and
wrote some of his messages to con
gress by the light of a smoking oil
lamp. If, after Pres. Wilson comes
here for his vacation, he decides to
spend some of his evenings writing
his next message to congress, he will
have to do it either by oil lamp light
or candle light. Which is some re
turn to the dark ages for the president
of the United States Jn these days of
aeroplanes, Hying boats, "gas and elec
tricity. Last night Mrs. Wilson and her
daughters ate their evening meal by
lamp light. When they give a little
party planned for some of the per
sonal friends of the presidental fam
ily, there will be oil lamps in the
"front room". For there is no gas
or electric light at Harlakenden
House, the president's summer home.
Pres. Wilson is accredited with love
of simplicity in all tilings. He can
humor that liking to the limit when
he comes here for a much needed rest.
The large grounds about the house are
well kept up and, with the exception
of the lighting proposition, Harlaken
den House is strictly modern.
Natives Like Him.
Windsor ir; three miles by Xmv Eng
land roads from Cornish," Vt. The
natives are not flustrated over having
a president and his family for neigh
bors. There were quite a few at the
station when the president recently
visited Mrs. Wilson and his daugh
ters, but they always go to the station
to meet the two daily trains. They
gave Pres. Wilson a hearty and cor
dial welcome to their village but that
was ail. As soon as the train pulled
out they went back to their work.
When the president accompanied
his family to church one Sunday while
he wasi here, the stolid old Vermonters
weren't a whit "fussed". They took
it as a matter of course that the pres
ident of the .United States wa.s a
church-goer, and let It go at that.
Many of them casually hung around
after church to shake his hand but It
was all done in the same way they
would greet any other new resident
who wasn't a president.
As one native put it. "Mister Wilson
is a nice, simple lookin' man who ap
pears to know his business, and his
wife is a mighty fine woman. His
laughters appear to be fust rate girls
and Miss Jessie's beau, who was up
here visiting when the president was.
looks to be considerable of a man."
That's the way the natives up here
look at it. Pown in their hearts they
are mighty proud of the president's
selection of their town as a summer
"capital" and there is every evidence
that, although some of them voted
the republican or progressive tickets,
they all have been verv favorably im
pressd with Pres. Wilson. Rut It
would be foreign to their natures to
let anyone think for a minute that
they "are all set up' about having
Pres. Wilson for a neighbor.
Windsor is In a valley between the
foothi'Js of the White mountains. It
is noteo for its climate, a great deal
of wnich has been apparent since the;
presidents family got here. The
temperature for a time persisted in
clinging around ninety during the day
and eighty at night, while the enthu
siastic postmaster and the town tailor
swore that It was the hottest year in
their history.
Among the speakers were Judge G. A.
Farabaugh. Andrew Dombos, Patrick
Joyce and Bazac Iialazs. OT.cers
were elected as follows: Razac

Big Methodist Leader is a Dem
ocrat and an Optimist
Looks Like Marshall.
nv Margaret torix.
Rishop W. P. Anderson of Cincin
nati, who visited South Bend Tuesday,
looks like Vice Pres. Marshall, and
he Is a democrat.
That Is as far as I can carry the
analogy. The bishop's demorcacy,
linds its expression in religion not
politics. I don't know for whom he
voted.
Bishop Anderson came Tuesday a
little after noon, attended two meet
ings and made two addresses, one in
the afternoon at the First eMthodist
church, another in the evening at St.
Pauls, dined at Tippecanoe place,
talked with me, of course, and left for
his home in Cincinnati Wednesday
morning.
The bishop outlined for me his
vision of the future of the church,
and it has a great future, he thinks.
Ho scoffs at the notion that the church
is going to the dogs.
"Within the next 50 years," said
Rishop Anderson, "the church is go
ing to rise to an importance it has
never known before. It is going to
be the recognized leader of all the
agencies of applied Christianity."
Democracy a Ill-dug Title.
He gave me a glimpse of his vision
of democratized religion.
"The age is inundated in a tide of
democracy," said he, "and it is rising
higher and higher. The institution
that will live Is the Institution that
conforms to the spirit of the age.
"The spirit of Christianity is at work
in the world as never before. The
world grows constantly more humane,
more tolerant, more kindly."
He doesn't believe thai the church
as an institution is going to drop be
hind in the movement.
"There are other agencies that are
advancing the work of democracy,"
said he, "and they must be recognized
as elements in the spread of Chris
tian spirit. Rut the day is coming
whon the church, will be the recog
nized leader of them all."
The church of the future is to be a
practical church, he believes. It is
to lay stress upon deed, not dogma.
Men and women will unite on a pro
gram for the practical applications of
the, teachings of Christ. Christian
doctrine of the future will be a prac
tical doctrine and the church will be
judged by its results.
In the development c a democratic
spirit In religion Rishop Anderson
sees the. growth of church unity.
"We are already coming together,"
he said. "We are beginning to em
phasize our points of likeness more
than our points of difference. We
cannot yet see what form church
unity will finally take."
Methodists Are Democrats.
It is because the Methodist church
is essentially democratic and lays spe
cial stress on the practical side of
Christianity that it has had its phe
nomenal growth. Its future will be
greater than its past, he is sure.
Recause the modern church will
judge of results the bishop approves
of Billy .Sunday, the evangelist. He
did not give his methods the stamps of
his approval, but he gets results, ho
says, and the end justifies the means.
It was the bishop's first visit to
South Bend. Though a prominent
figure in the -Methodist church he is
best known in the east, where most
of his work has een. His diocese in
cludes Ohio, Kentucky and southern
Indiana.
His annals are short and simple as
the annals of useful people usually
are. He graduated from college, he
told the name of it, a perfectly good
school, but I have forgotten.
He was the pastor of a number of
churches In the east, several of them
in Xew York. Later he became sec
retary of the board of education in
his church. He was elected bishop of
Baltimore in 190S.
Something About the Man.
"On the first ballot," his host. Rev.
J. 1 Gardner interrupted him to say.
Then he gave me a bit of his per
sonal history. This is what he said:
"I have a son who is studying for tho
ministry, a daughter that has just
graduated, another who Is going to bo
married, and so on." Which proves
that the bishop knows something
about life as well as religion.
"And he is one of the two or three
most eminent divines in his church
and famous for his gift of oratory,"
his host whispered to me as I was
leaving.

BRING R. R. PEACE
With Decision to Abide by Con
ference Action, Biggest Ob
stacle to Settlement is Re
moved. XEW YORK. Juby 2C. The only
problem the federal mediators in th?
railroad strike situation had to deal
with Wednesday was the request of
railroad managers that the eight de
mands be arbitrated along with those
of the men for a 20 per cent, increase
in wages.
Tho statement from Pres. Unler
wood. of the Erie R. R.. that his
road would accept any award made
under the Xewlands act removed the
most serious obstacle to settlement.
The only string attached to the Erie
statement was its request that the
proposed wage advance should not
become effective before January 1015.
The union leaders declared Wednes
day that this was a situation for the
Erie to settle with its own men. and
would have no effect on the general
arbitration plans.
It is generally believed that the
railroads will withdraw these de
mands, but if not. the mediators will
force them to recede from their positions.
ERIE Ml MAT
That "Bomb" Sent to Andy
Was Only Scotch Cheese
XEfW YORK, July 2?.. The mys
tery of the "bom-)" sent to Andy Car
negie has been solved. It was a juicy
Scotch cheese enclosed in a smell
proof case of zinc. and contained
neither nltro-glycerine nor dynamite.
After deliberating nearly all the
day about how to open the bomb"
without causing an explosion, postal
officials took the 'infernal machine"
to a vacant lot.
There, from a safe distance, while
an immense crowd waited with their
lingers In their cars, an olhcial level
made Paul' famous.
"You know M. de C'lairmont Is a real
nobleman, with a title in Europe. I
have known him a little over a year."
Miss Golden did not want to dis
cuss "Raby Paul's" more or less
stormy career in Xew York and said
that in spite of anything that might
be said, she trusted him. Paul was
lodged in the Tombs for some time
on complaint of a cabaret dancer who
alleged that he had taken her gold
watch. In the Tombs he was known
as Charles Anderson, and when
brought to trial the jury failed to
reach an agreement, and Judge Ma
lone discharged him.
MEXICANS- INSULT

British Emblem Also Torn Down
While Jap Banner is Cheered
By Mob.
MEXICO, July 2.1. The tearing
down and mutilation of American and
Rritish flags by Mexicans, angered by
the new Sunday closing law, is being
perfunctorily investigated Wednesday.
Several thousand working men,
clerks and students who had been dis
charged by their employers because
of the new Sunday regulations, were
on their way to the national palace
Tuesday to file a protest with Pres.
Huerta, when they came upon a
Japanese curio shop, where American,
Rritish. Japanese and Mexican Hags
were displayed.
The angry men and youths made a
rush for the flags. The American and
Rritish emblems were wrenched from
their standards and torn to ribbons,
the pieces being trampled under foot.
Then the leaders caught up the Jap
anese flag and marched away with it
amid cheers.
As they went along the demonstra
tion gathered force and was augment
ed by many citizens. Mounted police
and federal cavalry finally dispersed
the mob before it reached the national
palace.
From time immemorial Sunday has
always been the big day in Mexico. It
was on Sunday that the people amus

led a rifle at the bomb and perforated
it with a bullet. A thick yellow sub
stance oozed from the hole and that
was all.
Pour more bulp't? were fired into
the bomb and still silence reigned.
Soon, however, a pungent and self
explanatory odor became perceptible
and even the laymen present were
able to recognize the true nature of
the "bomb".
The cheese was returned to the
Carnegie corporation resembling
more the Swiss prc-duct than the
Scotch.
FIREFLIES STARTED
STORY OF BUFilE
TREASURE SHE SAYS
Was the Only Reason People
Thought She Had Money
Says Woman Fighting Tax
Assessment.
A superstitious belief prevailing
among the peasantry of Europe that
where fireflies swarm there is buried
treasure is responsible for what she
terms "a most unmerited persecu
tion" by tax ferrets, according to Mrs.
Frances Howe, of Willis, Porter coun
ty, Ind.
Mrs. Howe's suit to enjoin the
treasurer of Porter county from col
lecting an assessment of $1 .", 4 4 7.0.".
was recently venued to the it. Joseph
circuit court. She is represented by
Atty. F. H. Wurzer, of this city. "I
feel absolutely certain that I will re
ceive justice, impartial justice, in
.South Rend, and that is all I ask,"
writes Mrs. Howe
The woman says the "ferrets" are
trying to make her pay taxes on a sum
of money which is "absolutely non
existent." "So collossal is the fraud that ha.s
been atttempted against me that I
shall not wonder if your mind finds
to grasp the magnitude thereof," she
writes.
Here is the letter to the Xews-Times
i which Frances Howe has written to
explain her side of the case which will
be tried in the local court:
"The origin of the affair comes from
the superstition of the Irish and
Scandinavian peasantry, who firmly
believe that the presence of fireflies
in any locality indicates buried treas
ure. In a meadow east of our old
family home in Westchester township
in Porter county, there sec ins to be
something peculiarly attractive to
fireflies; they swarm there by the
hundreds, not to say thousands. Our
old Swedish neighbors believed, of
course that much tre;Lsure lay hidden
there. When they discovered that
the superstitious part of their state
ments about this buried treasure met
with ridicule they suppressed that
part of their tale, hut said that they
knew treasure lay hidden in that
meadow.
Story Was Relieved.
"Such statements passing from
mouth to mouth get varied. After a
few years the scene of action was
transferred by neighborhood gossip
to the Chicago board of trade, and
from there to Wall street, and it was
declared that I rivaled the Goulds and
Yanderbilts in financial transactions
of every description.
This being the state of th public
mind when the tax ferrets in;uled
Porter county, I, of course, was se
lected as their principal victim. As
they could not discover what did not
exist they concluded to assume that
it did exist, whether they could dis
cover any trace of it or not.
"Sv they selected an amount In the
neighborhood of $100, 0tM as a basis
of calculation and made an irregular
entry of $ 1 .",4 4 7.0.r on the tax dupli
cate against me. thLs amount being
the full value of all langs owned by
me in Porter county. Refore this as
sessment could be collected the court
in Porter county Issued a temporary
Injunction against the collection
thereof. More than three years have
elapsed since this injunction was is
sued, I have been seeking to have It
made permanent. My efforts have
met with fierce opposition, so fierce
that a change of venue became neces
sary and I fefl as If I were nearing
the end of a moit unmerited perse
cution. "I will not detail tho pretexts, the
clumsy clews brought forward to sup
port the false accusation made against
me for that would be forestalling in
formation reserved for the courtroom.
I feel absolutely certain that I will re
ceive justice, impartial justice, in
South Rend, and that is all I ask.

Sixty three persons, motIy women

This was tlw estimate of the poPce
Wednesday after reports had been re

of those who were employed.
Lines of hlackuned bodies are
awaiting identification In the morgue,
but they are so horribly burned that
onlj,- by the chance of finding some
bit of clothing that might be recog
nized by relatives is there hope of the
bodies bdng turned over to the proper
prsons.
Seventeen women .and girls are suf

hospital. of this number it Is be
lieved that at least ten will die. Th ir
condition is pitiful. Sme are so
terribly burne I that their bodb ?
hardly resemble human forms. Other
are suffering from broken and crushed
limbs.
And of the most seriously injured
those who may not live out the day
their injuries appear unbearable. I:i
addition to broken bones suffered by
jumping from upper floors, their
bodies are terribly burned.
A rigid investigation into the caus
of the fire started Wednesday.

Throughout Tuesday night gr : t
crowds surrounded the mines of t!o
overall factory. Many were attract' 1
by mere curiosity, but mingling In lb--crowd
were hysterical mothers and
fathers hoping to hear some word a

The bodies recovered late Tues

$.'0,000 to the post office and the lo.
on five other buildings.
It was stated at the morgue
Wednesday that but 19 bodies were
held there. Farlier reports of num
bers running into the twenties were
due to the fact that some of the
bodies were taken out in pieces and
hurried examination led to the be

dead had be n recovered.
A careful checking up in the
morgue, however, revealed that the
torn and burned pieces of humanity
made only 1' bodbs.

would be launched would be a probe
