CONCORD, N. H.. April 2Lt'npledged
and unlnstructed delegates to the republi
can national . convention at Chicago were
elected today at the New Hampshire re
publican state convention in thla city. The
delegates-at-large are the following:
United States Senator Jacob H. Gatllnger
of Concord, former Governor Chester U.
Jordan of Lancaster, Attorney General
Edwin G. Eastman of Exeter, Edwin F.
Jones of Manchester.
A resolution endorsing Secretary 'William
II. Taft for president was tabled by a ris
ing vote, only twenty-five delsgatea out of
7SJ voting for the resolution.
Seator Galilhger. chairman' 'of the state
committee, balled the convention to order,
Chaaare af Persoa, Nat Palter.
Ex-Governor John McLane,- the perma
nent chairman. In hta address praised tha
administration of President Roosevelt and
sAld:
However, the succession -falls. -changes of
approaching election are to be those of
person and not of policy.
The platform renewa allegiaaoa to the
principles of tha republican party, whose
record It declares la the history of the coun
try's progress. While recognising that ex
isting tariff schedules should be read
justed to current conditions, emphatic op
position Is' declared to tariff tinkering by
piecemeal. "
Tha platform urges restoration of the
American flag to the ocean carrying trade,
and generous pension legislation for axmy
and navy veterans.
On the question of Instructions, the plat
form asserts (hat the real' interests ot the
presidential candidate to be nominated will
be . best served without either specific or
Implied instruction in the form of resolu
tions of preference in this convention'.
Cordial approval is expressed af President
Roosevelt and his administration. '
As tha reading of the resolutions waa
finished. Judge David Cross of Manchester,
In a strong, firm voice, despite his M years,
announced that he desired to present an
amendment to the resolutions.
Aged Jadge for Taft. -
He said ha had voted for governor In 1839,
for William Harrison for president In 1840
and for Fremont In 1866, and continued:
This Is a republican convention and re
publicans believe in free speech.
Perhaps President Roosevelt has made a
few mistakes, but he- has done' more for
the welfare of the nation than any presi
dent , for fifty years. Trust a mart who
stands out nobly and avows his doctrine.
1 admire the man who la fighting the race
tracks in New York.
I have looked over the various conven
tions held In this state since 18S6 and I find
that the republican conventions have on
nearly all occasions expressed a preference
tor a presidential candidate. I believe that
there Is not a man In New Hampshire who
doer not believe that William H. Taft Is
the best candidate for president. He will
endorse the policies of President Roosevelt.
Even Governor Hughes endorses the presi
dent. As Judge .Cross mentioned the' name of
Hughes there was a demonstration, some
of the delegates rising and . shouting,
"Hughes," "Hughes." . ' " V V
Continuing, Judge Cross said: "
Governor Hughes is a groed roan tiut I de
sire to submit the following resolution:
Resolved,, That while, we are in favor of
sending an uninstruntod delegation to Chi
cago, It Is our earnest belief ttiat the man
for the times above all others, embodying
every element of a triumphant candidate
and a successful administration,. la William
H. Taft of Ohio.
After a ahort discussion the resolution ot
tered by Judge Cross was tabled 76) to 25, -How
tha Delegates Stood;
Before the vote was taken Rev. Thomas
Chalmers of Manchester waa given an op
portunity to speak. He endorsed President
Roosevelt, said Secretary . Taft ' waa "a
worth lieutenant,' whom he expected to
see elected In November. "I am going to
ask you to express your sentiments," con
tinued Mr. Chalmers. He-then -asked that
those who favored La Follette for presi
dent to say so. . One answered. Tq the
name of Cannon there were 'a few "ayes."
At the mention of Fairbanks one man
ahouted . "aye," for Hughes there Was
fairly large chorus of ayes. For Taft th
shout was louder and longer. Here It was
claimed that Mr. Chalmers was usurping
the prerogatives of tha chair, and tha
clergyman closed, by expressing the hope
that the resolutions would be withdrawn.
After the Taft resolution had been tabled
the platform as submitted by tha commit
tee was adopted. 1
Tha convention then, by acclamation,
chose the four delegates-at-large.

Assets of Maalt Redaeed.
8IOUX FALLS. 8. D., April Special.)
By a decision of a court at St.-Louis the
amount of dividends which It was hoped
could be realised from the assets for the
benefit of the depositors ot the First Na
tional bank' of Scotland, 8 ,D., which failed
a year or mora ago, will ba reduced in
the sum of 110,000. Paul Landmann, re
ceiver of the failed bank, baa returned from
St. Louis, where he aided In prosecuting
the suit. The defendant In tha action was
the Washington National bank of St. Louis.
The suit waa instituted to recover the sum
of tio.OU), which the failed bank claimed
to have on deposit in tha St, Louis bank.
Much to the disappointment of Receiver
Iandmann tha decision was la favor of
tha St. Louis bank. This will reduce the
dividends to depositors of tha failed bank
about 10 per cent. Charles C. King, presi
dent of the allied bank, now Is serving a
term In the United States penitentiary at
Ieavenworth, Kan., for wrongfully con
verting tha funds of the bank to his private
use and for "doctoring'' tha books of ths
bank and making falsa reports to tha
comptroller ot the currency In reference
to the condition of tha bank.

WASHINGTON, April 21. The - agri,

forage plants from Siberia for use on the
northern portion of the great plains area.
The report of the committee says: .

utterly depleted by the one crop system
pow in vogue,"

"Judge, your honor,., he ain't worked for
six months-and. I .Just been supporting
hIm-" .
This was the testimony of Mra . Frank
Battiste in. police court against her hus
band. ....
"Judget your honor, I've been working
right along at the' Field club. I surport
my wife and the only reason she comes
Into court Is that she's got another man
for her' "espouse" and she wants to get
me locked up In Jail o she can sell the
furniture and move away with him."
This was the testimony of Mr. Battiste.
Both are colored. Battiste Is a dapper
little man, neatly dressed In black and with
a corrmand, of big words which ahowa he
has been employed where there is a good
class oi' people. After his wife's damaging
testimony. Battiste" held his hand high
above hie head and swore a mighty oath
regarding tlip," vefaoity ' of what he was
abouf to say. He", spoke as quoted and
added :
"I was sitting at the berakfast table the
other morplng drinking a cup of coffee
and, sort of chastising my wife mild and
gentle and remonstrating witn ner anoui
her conduct, when, suddenly there comes a
axe flying past my bald. And last Friday
she threw a burning lamp at me. I work
and I dont wan.t.jio, trouble. I didn't even
approve of,. bringing this trouble up here,
but she would have It so."
Their son appeared as witness and bore
out his father's assertions regarding tha
violence, of Mrs. Battiste.
All were discharged and Mrs. Battiste
departed In the company of another man,
who, according to her husband. Is ths
"tertlum quid" in the case.
