NO FIGHT LIKELY OVER THE PLATFORM
Change In Management at the Glen
wood Instltnte for Feeble
minded te Be Mad
Wednesday.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
DES MOINES, June 38. (Special.) The
present outlook for the republican state
convention of this week is that it will be
one of the best ever held. A large number
of the prominent men of the party are to
be present. George D. Perkins will be
temporary chairman and E. W. Weeks
temporary secretary. Among the promi
nent delegates already selected, many oi
whom will be here tomorrow, are Secretary
Wilson of Tama, Congressmen Smith,
Hedge, Haugen, Thomas, Hepburn and
Blrdsall; Speaker Eaton, ex-Speakers Bow
en, Bryers and Funk, Colonel L. B. Ray
mond, Grand Army of the Republic de
partment commander; J. W. Blythe, Bur
lington; George W. Clarke, Adel. probably
the next speaker of the house; National
Committeeman Hart and about a dosen of
the district Judges. The candidates for
superintendent have arranged to open head
quarters on Monday and begin a campaign.
Speaker Eaton of Mitchell county will have
charge of the candidacy of Superintend
ent Barrett. The candidacy of Superin
tendent Rlggs will be managed by N. E.
Kendall of Albla, and It appears that there
Is some doubt about the management of
the Adams candidacy.
In regard to the platform nothing new
has developed. A systematic effort has
been made to get the old factions In the
party at loggerheads again and to Induce
the members of the convention to break
loose and Insist upon a platform different
from that which will be reported by the
committee. It is believed, however, that
there Is no possible wsy that a fight can be
had cn the platform.
Will Appeal for Assistance.
Colonel L. B. Raymond, department
commander of the Grand Army of
the Republic, arrived In the city
today frjm Hampton. He will tomorrow
send out to tfie posts of the state an appeal

ance for the comrades In Kansas. He will
say:
Particular attention is called to general
order No. 9, it being an appeal for our
comrades in Kansas. It is earnestly desired
that this department show their Comrad
shlp to our comrades In Kansas by imme
diately responding to their appeal. Re
member, he gives twice who gives prompt
ly. Let every post give something. One
dollar from each post will aggregate quite
a sum, but of course many posts can give
more. Where posts have no funds, get
some Individual in your community to give
a dollar for you. Send all contributions to
George A. Newman, A. A. G., Des Moines,
that proper credit may be given. .

Change to Be Made at Olenwood.
On next Wednesday the change will be
made at the State Institution for the Feeble
Minded, and George Mogrlge, long the as
sistant superintendent, will becorn the su
perintendent, taking the place of Dr. Pow
ell, resigned. Other appointments or pro
motions will not be announced until after
the new superintendent takes charge, as he
has the matter entirely in his own hands
and the state board has nothing to do with
the leuser officials. Dr. Powell will for
the present have charge of a private sani
tarium or retreat for afflicted persons,
where they' may receive care and treat
ment. '
Elks Made No Money.
The Elks lodge of Des Moines closed a
" miunigni jasi nitfilt. havlns:
had a week of the finest weather and fairly
good crowds, though not many from out of
the city. The carnival or fair had a line
line of features and fireworks, but the
Elks' managers are today figuring up and
settling accounts, and find that they have
made very little or no money by the week's
work. The expenses were very heavy. It
had been planned that the carnival would
assist greatly In raising funds for a new
bullfi.ig.
Will Not Leave Ties Moines.
After two weeks of negotiations with
representatives of various cities the Asso
ciation of Manufacturers has practically
decided that the factories of Des Moines
that suffered from the flood will remain In
the city. A few of them will remain In the
district that was flooded, but a larger
number will remove to a new factory dis
trict location northeast of the state capltol.
The land Is high, and the tracks of the
tnicago & Northwestern, the Chicago
Great Western, the Iowa Falls road and
the Interurban all run close. It Is ex
pected that a large number of the factories
of the city will locate In that part of the
town and that It will be of material ad
vantage to the east side.

arsenal haa received orders from the secre

PARIS, June 28. (New York World Ca

will be France's guest with her husband
when the king of Italy visits Paris. There
was some objection to this plan at first.
the argument being advanced that a preal

this and it was decided that Queen Helene

VISIT SCENE OF BURNING
Thousands of Morbid People Trafnp Over
the Tield Where it Occurred.
CHURCH STANDS FAST BY ITS PREACHER
Strong Endorsement of Man Whose
Sensational Sermon Is Held Re
sponsible for the Wil
mington Horror.
WILMINGTON, Del., June 28,-Thou-sands
of persons today visited the scene
where George F. White, the negro, was
burned last Monday by a mob for the mur
der of Miss Helen Bishop. They came
from all the small towns In this vicinity
and hundreds Journeyed to the execution
place from Chester, Pa., and Philadelphia,
A trolley line runs within three-quarters
of a mile of the scene and 'bus drivers and
others owning vehicles did a thriving busi
ness carrying passengers to the place and
explaining to them the events of the last
two weeks. The burning took place In a
freshly-plowed field about fifty feet from
the roadway, which Is hidden by high
bushes. The field has been tramped almost
as smooth and hard as asphalt by the
thousands of persons who have visited the
farm. The only evidence that remains of
the work of the mob are three cobble
stones, on one of which this Inscription has
been placed In indelible Ink: "Here is all
that remains of White."
The bushes behind which the murder oc
curred have been cut down for a distance
of several yards and carried away by rello
hunters. Many of those who visited the
scene today, among them a large number
of women, carried away a sprig or branch
of the bushes.
Discussion of the events of the Inst week
Is rapidly ending, although the subject was
the text of some clergymen today.
Preachers without exception condemn the
lynching, notwithstanding the fact that
publio sentiment is overwhelmingly on the
side of the lynchers.
Stand by Preacher.
Rev. Robert A. Elwood, the Presbyterian
minister who has come in for much criti
cism for his sermon of last Sunday night,
as suggesting lynching In case the negro
escaped punishment at the hands of the
law, did not refer to the lynching or tne
criticisms today. These criticisms were an
swered by his congregation today when
the following resolutions were read dur
ing the services:
We, the officers and members oi tne
Presbyterian church, Wilmington, Del.,
realising the unjust criticism being made
upon our beloved pastor. Rev. Robert A,
Elwood, by a large proportion of the pub
lic press, do place ourselves on record
In the following reslutlons:
First, we express our tlrm belief In our
pastor's honesty. Integrity and Christianity,
our appreciation of his ministerial labors
In every congregation and our admiration
of his manly, Christian courage as ex-
FnF
ressed by his pulpit messages ana nis ma
our midst. ,
. a mrnM nur belief mat nis
message of last Sunday evening was both
timely and true, sensible and scriptural
and In no wise can the actions of the clti
xens on Monday night be chargeable to that

Wilmington remains quiet. The ponce
department, however, has not relaxed Its
vigilance and Is prepared to meet almost
any emergency. It Is not believed that any
further trouble will be started by either
the whites or blacks.
Arraigns White Man.
Rev. Mostrose W. Thornton, colored, pas
tor of the First African Methodist Episco
pal church of this city, preached a sensa
tional sermon to his congregation tonight.
He said In part:
The white man. In face of his boasted
civilisation, stands before my eyes tonight
the demon of the world's races, a monster
Incarnate, and insofar as the negro race
Is concerned, seems to give no quarter.
The white man is a heathen, a fiend, a
monstrosity before God and Is equal to any
act In the category of crime. I would
sooner trust myself In a den of hyenas
than in his arms. With the court, law and
officers of the law In his hands, the de
spised negro can expect no mercy. Justice
or protection, i ne negro in unsaie miy
whtre In this country. He'is the open prey
at all times of barbarians, who know no
restraints and will not be restrained.
There Is but one part left for the perse
cuted negro when cnargea wun crime sna
when innocent. Be a law unto yourself.
YoU are taught by this lesson of outrage
to save vourself from torture at the hands
of the blood-seeking public. Save your race
from Insult and shame. lie your own
sheriff, court and Jury, as was the outlaw
Tracey. Die In your tracks, perhaps drink
ing the blood or your pursuer. nonner j.
Washington's charity, humanity, advice of
forgiveness, love. Industry, and so forth,
will never be reciprocated by white men.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, June 28. (New York
World Cablegram Special Telegram.)
Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria has a holy
horror of the number 13. Recently the com
mander of the fort of Bonrgas made a
speech before the prince at the celebration
of the completion of the new basins.
"It has been, thirteen years." he began,
"since the works were begun" then, sud
denly remembering the superstition, he
quickly added: "But it is only twelve
months since your majesty haa deigned to
Interest yourself," etc.
The' prince appreciated the correction snd
smiled, but he turned his back on the
mayor of Bonrgas because he has thirteen
