Chicago.--The city has been invaded and captured by the Knights Templar. It made no defense, but has willingly thrown open its gates to the pictur­ esque host of crusaders. Sotneihiufc like a hundred thousand of the Sir Knights are here to attend the tri­ ennial conclave of their grand en- oampment, and their wives and fam­ ilies, together with the other throngs that have been attracf^d by the spec­ tacular events connected with the conclave, have increased the popula­ tion of Chicago temporarily by about a million. Every hotel is filled to its capacity, and many thousands of the visitors have found lodgings iu boarding hous­ es and private homes. The local Sir Knights have been busy for many months planning for the comfort and amusement of their guests, and noth­ ing has been left undone. The official program of the con­ clave opened, as always, with divine service. This was held Sunday in Or­ chestra hail, the Very Eminent Sir the Rev. George C.

The triennial sermon was delivered by Sir Knight tho Ray George H. MacAdani of Madison, Wis., a member of Evanston commandery. Sir Knight George Kurzenknabe was the organ­ ist and the choir was made up of five Templar quartettes of Chicago. For the benefit of the thousands of Tem­ pers who could not be accommodated in this hall, there were special serv­ ices in many of the churches. In the evening there was a band concert in Grant park, and later the electrical display of the "official badge" on the lake front and the "Templar Way" on State street were illuminated.

Des Moines, la.--The Iowa state Re­ publican convention adjourned Wednes­ day after a bitter controversy between the progressive and stalwart factions. Candidates for supreme justice and su­ perintendent of public instruction were nominated and a platform was adopt­ ed. Senator Cummins was the tem­ porary chairman and Senator Dolllver the permanent presiding officer. Both were cheered and hissed during their addresses. The resolutions as adopted dismiss consideration of the president with the clause, "We indorse such efforts as President Taft and his advisers have made to fulfill the promises of the national platform." They reaffirm their loyalty to the pfatform of 1908 but do not recognise the revision of 1909 as a satisfactory fulfillment o? the party prosfiSs® and therefore favor the creation of an in- uependent non-partisan tariff commit­ tee to secure facts regarding imports and urge revision of schedules separ­ ately. They commend Senators Dol- liver and Cummins for "their work upon the tariff bill, the railroad bill and the postal savings bill." They commend thd action of the house in revising the rules. They indorse the anti-trust law and recommend^ it be given additional strength to meet the devices of modern industry. They favor the fixing of a physical valua­ tion on railroads in order to secure effective control of rates and a com­ plete system of accounting. They favor amendments to the postal sav­ ings law to keep the money deposited with the government within the com­ munities where deposited. They favor conservation of natural resources. They indorse the primary law. They promise there would be no backward steps along prohibition lines in Iowa. They demand election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. They insist on a readjustment of the representation of Republicans In national convention. They favor an I incon tax, and favor co-operation of he national government In enlarging he usefulness of the system of public education. Under the primary law, the nomina- ions for state officers were made at he primaries in June excepting for upreme judges and superintendent of lublic instruction, in the latter office here not being a majority vote, udge Evans of Fort Dodge and Judge if. M. Deemer of Red Oak were re­ nominated for the supreme bench. A. M. Deyce of Garner was nominated for the office of superintendent of public instruction. Tho now state committee is coin- posed of six Insurgents and five stal­ warts. and C. F. Franke of Parkers- burg will be continued state chairman. Senator Cummins, as temporary chairman, threw the convention into disorder when he named the party of "Lincoln, of Grant, of Roosevelt," ignoring President Taft. Senator Cummins was very emphat­ ic in his declaration that the tariff bill as it stood needed considerable revision to make it right. He also warned the country against going too fast on the central bank idea, and said that wealth was demanding too much toll already. When the Insurgents presented the name of Jonathan P. Dolliver for permanent chairman, the stalwarts of­ fered opposition in J. C. Mabry of Albia. Dolliver wa^^named by a vote of 834 to 549. In accepting his posi­ tion he said: "I have but one ambition left--to keep myself on the flring-line for public rights against private inter­ ests. And so my sympathies are with the man who seems to have suffered at the hands of the roll call." Here Dolliver was hissed. TH£ HOBBLE SKIRT ¥ •_J*. SAVES DAUGHTER; DROWNED W. R. Michael is.

Muskogee, Okla.--United States Senator Gore, who made the sensation­ al statement in the senate June 24 that he had been offered a bribe of .125,000 by a "man from my own town" reiterated his statement here before the senate select committee, and named the man as Jacob Ham- mon, former chairman of the Repub­ lican state central committee of Okla­ homa. Senator Gore also declared that Hammon told him Vice-President Sher­ man, Senator Chariest Curtis of Kan­ sas and Representative Bird McGuire of Oklahoma were interested in the deal. Sherman was named as the "man higher up." The committee began its investiga­ tions here Thursday with the hearing of Senator Gore. Inquiry is to be made into what are known as the Mc- iv ml m. nh\mm Senator Gore. Murray contracts with the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians, involving the sale of tribal property that contained rich mineral deposits. Senator Gore told the committee that when he frowned on the bribery offer, Hammon said the amount might be raised to $50,000. Jake L. Hamon, accused by Senator T. P. Gore, with having offered him a $35,000 bribe to influence legislation in congress for the sale of Oklahoma Indian lands, took the stand before the investigating committee. Hamon entered a general denial of Senator Gore's charges that he of­ fered the senator $25,000 or any other amount, to "put through" the $30,000,- 000 land deal. He denied being in­ terested in the McMurray contracts and said he was in Washington at the time specified in the interest of Gov. C. N. Haskell of Oklahoma- Congressman C. E. Creager of Okla­ homa, on cross-examination previously had told further details of his experi­ ences in Washington, in connection with the attempted $30,000,000 In­ dian land deal.

SLUMP IN THE AUTO BUSINESS Bottom Seems to Have Dropped Out Notwithstanding Boosting Efforts of Manufacturers. New York.--Indications point to the bottom having fallen out of the auto­ mobile business. The manufacturers, it is reported in trade circles, are making strenuous efforts to keep up a show of continued prosperity, but it is also said that they are not sell­ ing their product, but ere storing ma­ chines throughout the country at their various agencies to prevent the pub- He realizing tbe true conditions of the market. Several large concerns are laying off men and giving all sorts of rea­ sons for so doing except the state­ ment that they are overstocked. Two or three of the largest factor!?! re­ cently closed entirely, ostensibly for the purpose of taking inventory, but the workmen were not given any def­ inite time at which to again report for work, and it is not expected that these factories will again be in oper­ ation this year. A well-known automobile agent ol this city said yesterday that all cars would undoubtedly be selling at from 25 per cent, to 50 per cent, less than present list prices within the next two or three mofnths. He added: "The trouble with the automobile business is that the farmers and peo­ ple of the smaller cities and towns have not taken as kindly to the idea as was anticipated. The farmers find that the cost of keeping them- in re­ pair and operation is nfore than the cost of keeping horses to perform the same work, and while there was, for a time, a tendency among the farmers to invest in the machines, the demand for* cars from this class of buyers has practically stopped, and I venture to say we will not again sell to the farm­ ers to any extent until prices are ma­ terially reduced." THIRD OF IOWA BABIES DEAD Health Board Calls Conference of Phy­ sicians to Check Maladies--One Town Has Forty III. Des Moines, la. -- That one-third of the babies in Iowa under one year old have died since the hot weather set in was the alarming con­ dition revealed by Dr. G. H.

According to sta­ tistics, the first-named disease is the vorst In the history of the state. No section seems to be free from it, and infants are dying by the score. Doctor Sumner has called a special convention of physicians from all over Iowa to discuss means to prevent fa­ talities. Infantile paralysis is becoming alarm­ ing In many parts of the state. There are now more than forty cases in Ma­ son City, and a number of deaths have resulted there. ( SEVEN SUFFOCATE IN FIRE Incendiary Blaze In Emigrant Lodging House at Jamalcia, L.

TIRED OF .GOVERNMENT DELAY Red Men Preferred to Have Large Percentage Taken Rather Than Walt for Washington to Act. , McAlester, Okla.--At Monday's hear­ ing here before the congressional com­ mittee to Inquire into the J. F. Mo- Murray contracts with the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians and the charges of attempted bribery made by Senator Gote, the feature was the tes­ timony of D. C. McCurtain, son of Governor McCurtain, w*hen he was re­ called. He testified that he had an agree­ ment with the firm of Mansfield, Mo- Murray and Cornish that he was to have one-fourth of the fees they re­ ceived aad that the share thereof coming to him was $187,500. McCurtain said this occurred two years before McMurray offered him $35,006 to not oppose the approval of the contracts. W. T. Hoilman, a Choctaw Indian, testified he had been employed by J. F. McMurray, holder of thG contracts, to go out among the Oklahoma In­ dians and induce them to sign the documents. At the same time, Holl- man related, he was paid "a dollar a head" for securing contracts appoint­ ing McMurray to act in tax casett In this way McMurray procured 10,000 contracts to sell land. "i wouid have given 25 per cent, to McMurray," said Hollman, "if he could have gotten us the money quickly. He said he believed some of the In dians would be willing to give McMur ray 75 per cent." In a statement to the committe* and without going on the stand, Mc Murray declared that the contract! came to him originally against his de­ sires. He sai^ the Indians at a "war council" had ueniOu»irated ineir im­ patience at the government's alleged slowness in the selling of the land and had called upon him to take the Job at ten per cent., which be did with re­ luctance. Questioned further, Hollman testi­ fied it was the belief of the Indians that their property was worth from $30^000,000 to $40,000,000, and the un derstandlng was McMurray was to get ten per cent, of this. "Is it the belief of the Indians that McMurray had some power at Wash­ ington by which he would be able to get more quickly that if you left it to the government?" asked Repre­ sentative E. W. Saunders of Virginia. "We didn't know how he was going to do it, but he thought he knew how." "Ditf you think McMurray was a ma­ gician?" "We thought he knew how to do it."
