T. T. Mears. Osburg Falls. Vt.. badly
burned about the face, hands and body.
A. W. Wattles. Chicago, badly burned
ad bruised.
Mrs. Amelia Wilson. Chicago, badly
kurned.
The other thirty-one Injured persons
were reported better of their hurts, but
most of them were badly shaken In their
nerves by the horror of what they endured
and witnessed yesterday.
' Deputies from tha coroner's office vis
ited tbs different morgues today to view
the bodies of tbe eight patients, who.
either bound or manacled, could not es
cape, and the two attendants who Jumped
to their deaths.
, Tha eight men arrested last sight were
till held today, Including O. E. Miller,
jirasident of Us St. Luke's society. Miller
Is said to have lived In Denver at one
time, where ha was In the banking busi
ness. A search of tbs records of the
Health department today failed to dis
cover any record abowing that ths hospital
sad been licensed according to law.
Coroner Traeger today sent his deputies
'to view the victims of the fire, and de
cided to postpons Inquest for a few days
Hintll a complete lavsstlgatloa has been
Wads.
There will be a full Investigation." as Id
ths coroner, "and It may make somebody
(uncomfortable. We will endeavor to d la
te over If the patients wera strapped down,
as reported, and If there waa a sufficient
number of attendants. If any ons of the
deaths was due to negligence th guilty
araoa or persons will be mad to pay ths

, Perhaps the most pltable of all the deaths
Vas that of Alderman "Blind Billy" Kent.

trapped to his waist. Kent was as astute
politician, had been a member of the sute
legislaure and was a delegate to ths re
publican national convention of 1881 and
1892. His blindness was due to a gunshot
wound received at the hands of a saloon
keeper. An Iron constitution saved his
life.
Samuel K. Markham. attorney for the
men under arrest, said today that ths so
ciety had spplied several times for a hos
pital license, but had always been refused
because tha people la the neighborhood
of ths hospital objected to the location
of such an institution near them. He said
that Mr. Miller applied for license after
the society moved Into tbe Hotel Woodruff,

ence of a number of women and other
spectators, but these were permitted to re
main only during tbe preliminaries. After
tbe opening address snd responses the ball
was cleared of all but representatives and
other nobles and the real business of ths
session began. The address of the Imperial
potentate showed a net gain in the mem
bership of tbe order during tbe past year
of 6.831. Charters are asked for new
temples at Roanoke, Vs., and Seattle,
Wsah.
At the close of the forenoon session the
representatives sat down to an elaborate

gall. The parade this morning Included abottt
1,000 nobles, some of them mounted, and
many In picturesque oriental attire.
Grsnrf Marshal R. P. Hurlbut, with his
staff and aides, rode in the lead, Imme
diately followed by a mounted bugle corps.
Then came a body of men, all In white, ex
cept their red fez, and flowing white capes,
forming a strong contrast with the black
horses tbey rode. Another body of aides
preceded a band, which played weird east
ern music, to which marched the Arab
patriots, then came a accession of bands
and gorgeously attired nobles on foot and
on horseback.
At Intervals the various drum corps per
formed bewildering evolutions and wens en
thusiastically cheered by the thouaands of
spectators who lined the sidewalks. The
Denver band and drum corps preceded a
carriage drawn by four black horses, in
which rode lmperiel Pctsntste ShsSer and
Past Imperial Deputy Potentate Field. A
long line of carriages followed. Tbe dele

of tbe splendor which is expected to char
acterize tbe parade tonight.

perial escort halted, opened ranks and
stood with drawn scimitars, while tbe dis
tinguished officials passed Into the building.

STATUS OF THE SMITH CASE
President May Rrtsrs It ta Conrt, bat
Cnnnot Compel Reversal
f Finding;.
WASHINGTON, June 10. Secretary Root
said today that he had not yet had time
to consider the case of General J. H.
Smith, tried by courtmartial at Manila for
alleged violation of the rules of war In tbe
conduct of tbe campaign of Samar. He
added that as the Smith cass was passed
practically on the transactions which led
to the trial of Major L. W. T. Waller of
the Marine corps by courtmartial, charged
with the illegal killing of Filipino soldiers,
he probably would await tbe receipt of the
record of that case before giving final con
sideration to the Smith case.
The Waller record Is not expected to
reach this city for several weeks. It is said
at the War department that the Waller
case Is a closed Incident, but tbe Smith
esse will not be legally closed until It has
been finally acted on by tha president.
The significance of this statement is thst
It is still within the power of the presi
dent to return the esse to the court for
reconsideration of the evidence adduced,
even though tbe officer was acquitted by
the court, as the press dispatches from
Manila have Indicated.
The court could not be legally compelled
to change Its findings, however, against
its own Judgment, and its adher
ence to a verdict of "not guilty" would
stand, despite the disapproval of th presi
dent, which, in thst case, would be simply
as a rebuke to the court without affecting
ths legal statue of tbe accused.

As a result th president has concluded
not to send letters to Cleveland officials
censuring them for pernicious activity In

said: "The mere fact that a man holds

that he should resign his rights of citizen

FREMONT, Neb.. June 10. (Speclsl Tel
egramsAfter a protracted contest thst
for a while threatened a deadlock the re
publicans of the Third congressional dis
trict in the convention here nomtnsted
Hon. J. J. McCsrthy of Dixon county on
the forty-sixth ballot.
The field at the start wss almost equally
divided between six csndidates and tbs win
cing candidate was not selected until tbe
morning and afternoon session hsd been
succeeded by an evening session. The ap
parent lead in the balloting fluctuated from
one to another, no on receiving more than
sixty votes out of the 240 until the
forty-sixth roll call, when Burt county
gave the Dixon man half Its vote.
On the next ballot tbe movement be
gan by Cedar giving lta vote to McCarthy,
meaning the withdrawal of Jenal. After
the unofflclsl tally showed McCsrthy to
hsve ninety-three votes Pierce chsnged in
his fsvor. Stanton withdrew Young and
contributed lta quota. Burt made Its vote
solid, Colfax followed and all the others
began climbing Into the McCarthy band
wagon until tbe nomination was made
unanimous.
A motion of McDonald of Thurston called
before the convention McCarthy, wboaaid:
"We have been engaged in this work so
long I shall make no extended remarks. I
thank you for tbe honor you have con
ferred on me mors than words can ex
press. I shall make tbe camps lgn as a
republican and exert every effort to se
cure election. With you snd the benefit of
these prosperous times that proclaim that
republican policies ar right, we ought to
succeed."
Losers Are Supporters.
The unsuccessful csndidstes as called on
thsnked their followers snd pledged support
to the nominee. Dr. Haneen said: "I am
for McCarthy, and will go home wearing
a McCarthy badge." W. W. Young was
enthusiastlcslly received as he declsred:
"So far as our nominee is concerned, you
hsve selected a man who has my highest
regard. Whatever I can do to bring about
his election will be done in this cam
paign." As an evidence of his loyal sup
port, George A. Brooks started the con
gressional campaign fund with a S100 con
tribution. E. A. Wiltse, Julius Jenal, H.
C. Vaill, W. P. Warren and J. F. Boyd, all
made encouraging speeches.
The protraction of the atruggle wss un
questionably due to the fact that so many
counties bad candidates for offices whose
interests they wanted to advance. One
delegate facetiously emphasized this by
moving to adjourn until some time after the
tate convention. .
Roatlne of the Session.
The convention organized In the morn
ing with E. R. Gurney of Wlnside as chair
man and Charles S. Beebe of Wsyn and
George N. Seymour of Elgin aa secretaries.
Chairman Gurney entertained the dele
gates with an Instructive address, review
ing tbe political Issues of the day, and
eliciting frequent applause. Credentials
and organization were waived, but a com
mittee on resolutions was appointed, con
sisting of E. H. Barnard of Dodge, F. D.
Fales of Dixon, G. W. Williams of Boone,
A. F. Enos of Stsnton, J. F. Boyd of An
telope and F. O. Robinson of Cedar. Tbelr
report, unanimously accepted as the plat
form, reaffirms the principles enunciated In
tbe last republican national convention;
commends President Roosevelt and the na
tional administration; approves his efforts
to repress the trusts within the bounds of
lsw, and commends congress for repealing
tbe war taxes, passing tbe oleomargarine
bill, enlarging tbe scope of rural free de
