PORT AU -PRINCE. Haiti, Au. 8
General Clncinnatus Leconte, president of
tho republic of Haiti, perished today in
a fire which destroyed the national pal
ace. It was caused by an explosion of the
powder magazine attached to the palace.
Lf.tcr Investigation showed that the
casualty list !n dead and wounded
p mounted to 400 persona.
Tho explosion occurred at 3.15 o'clock
this morning and the shock shattered the
palace.' Fire followed quickly and the
palace, R wooden structure, was con
tained within half an hour. There were
a great number of explosions of muni
tions of war which had been stored in
the cellars below.
All the houses around the palace were
greatly damaged, but as the palace itself
was isolated, the firemen succeeded in
their efforts to localize the fire.
The members of the family of the presi
dent, all of whom were In the palace at
the time, were saved, but President Le
conte perished.
Consternation reigns among, the popu
lation, but no disorders have occurred.
The military authorities are maintain
ing order In the town. Both the Chamber
and the Senate have been called In na
tional assembly and probably will nom
inate a successor to President Leconte to
day. General Tancrede Auguste, who Is
a senator and was formerly minister of
public works, and Senator Luxemburg
Cauvln, formerly minister of the Interior,
are candidates.
The cause of the explosion has not been
explained.
Clncinnatus Leconte was elected unani
mously by congress president of Haiti on
August 14, last year.
He gained prominence in Haitlen affairs
in 1008, when,' w minister of the interior
la One cabinet o( President Nord Alexis,
lie was credited with ordering tho sum
mary shooting of ten prominent revolu
tionaries at Port AU Prince.
When the regime of Nord Alexia was
brought to an end "shortly afterward,
Leconte went into exile in Jamaica.
While there he Intrigued against the new
president, Simon, and in January, 1911,
started a revolution against him, which
was, however, short lived. The Insur
gents were defeated and Leconte took
refuge in the German consulate at Cape
Haitlen, later being sent from the island
under German protection.
Leconte returned to Haiti in May, last
year, and succeeded In overthrowing
President Simon. -
He was a mulatto, between 40 and 50
years of age, and belonged to the legal
profession.

Jewelers Want the
Time by Wireless
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. S.-Here-after
the purchaser of a gold plated
watch takes tho chances. The old In
scription, "guaranteed for twenty years"
became entirely too common, and so
far as the American National Retail
Jewelers association is concerned Its
virtue now Is nothing. A resolution was
adopted at the convention of the as
sociation today, abolishing the time
guarantee on gold plated watches and
Jewelry.
The guarantee stamp, Jewelers say had
gradually come to be placed on all
plated ware by responsible and Irrespon
sible Arms alike. If the gold plate did
not last the full time limit, which usually
is the case in the cheaper grades or
watches and Jewelry, the retailer had to
stand the loss.
Following an address by II. E. Duncan
of Waltham, Mass., a resolution was
adopted providing that a committee ar
range witn the United States government
for wlieless time service for the Jewelers.
The plan Is that every Jeweler shall have
a receiver to catch the time flashed from
the new government wireless station at
Arlington. More accurate setting and
regulation of watches than now Is com
,mon would -follow, It was said. ,
The convention planned to elect officers
this afternoon. -

before his train started.
United States Senator Joseph M. Dixon
of Montana, chairman of the national
committee, tonight said the committee
would remain in Chicago for several days
to perfect plans for the campaign.
Plans Made by Perkins.
The plans thus far adopted by the na
tional committee embrace a scheme for
five or more division bureaus In vari
ous parts of the country, each to be con
ducted by a vice chairman.' The propo
sition was placed before the committee
by George W. Perkins of New York.
Originally Mr. Perkins' motion named
New York, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta and
San Francisco as the location for the
division bureaus. This was eliminated,
however, and the matter was left to the
executive committee, which Chairman
Dixon .was authorlzeo to appoint.
Senator Dixon named George V. Per
kins as chairman of this executive com
mittee. Mr. Perkins will appoint a tria.
urer and other officers for the executive
committee. This committee :a pro Wed

consists of nine, members who aM r&t
neceSsarfTy members of the jiatlonr.l com

The sessions of the national committee
were marked by a flood of oratory, each
member of the committee rev'sw'.-ior th
situation in his own state, the prospects
ror success in the : November f lections
and the political needs of the situation.
If In the tumult and shouting yester
day Colonel Roosevelt had any doubt that
he was nominated for tha nrsirii.v
he was reassured today when a committee
oi notification met him at his hotel.
Though the colonel had been Informally
notified when he went to the convention
and delivered his speech of acceptance,
the delegates who had been selected from
the states and territories as a formal
committee of notification wished to carry
out their part of the program today.
Mr. Roosevelt was the center of a lively
group In the center of the hotel lobby
when the committee arrived. He. with
Governor Hiram W. Johnson of Califor
nia, the nominee for vice president, and
Albert J. Beverldge, the progressive can
didate for governor of Indiana and per
manent chairman of the convent inn hH

where they had pictures taken to be used
in the campaign. In one picture the pres

cowboys.
While in the lobby of the hotel Colonel
Roosevelt espied an old friend In the
crowd and he added to his political
menagerie by designating his friend "an
old wolf."
'Come here, you old wolf," the colonel
said, as he grasped his friend, Albert
Burton of Wyoming, by the hand.
Four He Chairmen.
The national committee discussed and
probably will adopt a plan of camDaicn
with four vice cha'rmen, each to be in
charge of a separate section of the coun
try. The four headquarters nrobablv will
be In New York, San Francisco, Chicago
and New Orleans.
At a special conference attended bv
George W. Perkins of New York, Sena
tor Joseph M. Dixon, chairman of the
progressive national committee and Mr.
Beverldge, the four ssctional campaign
plan was originated and submitted to
the full committee.
Mr. Perkins It Is reported will be chosen
chairman of the campaign executive
committee with permanent headquarters
in New York. Senator Dixon will be
mads managing dlrecto of the campaign
and will circulate throughout the coun
try. Colonel Roosevelt did not remain with
the national commltte through Its dsllb
eratlons, saying he wanted the com
mittee to chose its own officers and man
agers. ,
The national committee decided to re

day night In order to complete as many
details of the lampalgn as possible.
The execut.ve committee, to be heade'l
by Mr. Perkins, will not be named for

are not feeling very good over the stater
nirnt ado by Bryan ihat 7 a iacniocratlc
Club should be formed In Lincoln com
posed of the sure enough friend of Wil

A. V. Johnson, president of the club,
would have nothing to say today, "but
Intimated that ho would say many things
at th cnext meeting of th eclub.
John M. Devlne, when seen, only smiled
and quoted Scripture. When Devlne be
gins to quote Scripture It means that he
Is thinking Komethlng entirely different
and more explosive.
i Colonel John G. Maher, vice president
of the club, had a whole lot bo Say. "If
Mr. Bryan desires to prevent all those
democrats who ovted for Harmon and
Clark at the Nebraska primaries from
participating as democrats, any club be
might form in Lincoln would be a mighty
small one," said he.
"There Is a strong suspicion," continued
Colonel Maher, "that Mr. Bryan does not
want to sec the democratic state ticket
elect?d and that he would not feel bad
If the democrutlc candidate for the United
States senate was also defeated. It was
tho talk at the democratic state conven
tion In Grund Island that If Byrnes was
elected chairman, or if Bryun was turned
down, that he would not support the
slate ticket. It was also stated that a
telegram had been received from George
W. Nortls, republican candidate for the
United States senate, that If tho conven
tion failed to endorse the action of Mr.
Bryan, or if It elected Byrnes chairman,
that Norrls would go out over the state
and talk Bryan stronger than any other
man in Nebraska. While many demo
crats at the convention felt like scorching
Mr. Bryan for his treachery In the Champ
Clark matter, they felt that Bryan was
only looking for an excuse to go out and
fight the democratic state ticket and that
such action would give him the oppor
tunity he wanted."

In all probability tho ambition of Frank
P. Corrlck for so long to be chairman of
the icpubllcan state committee, which
was denied him when Chairman Kelfer
was elected a few years ago, ' will be
gratified when the state committee meets
next Tuesday. The opposition which
showed itself In the state convention
when Paul Clark attempted . to steam
roller the convention Into a proposition
of endorsing Corrlck for the Job, seems
to have not amounted to enough to work
any serious objections to the choice.
Corrlck has the backing of both Con
