TRY TO WRECK STATION

New York Police Thwart Plot of Some Italians. At New York the police are searching for a band of Italians who are credited with having made an attempt to blow up the Mercer street police station. Four heavy cartridges or bombs containing enough powder to blow up the building and kill the sixty men who were within at the time, were discovered before they could do any damage, one on the step in front of the door and the others in an adjacent hallway. Three men are under arrest but deny knowledge of the affair.

RAIL RIOT IS FATAL

Troops May Be Sent to South Bend, Ind., to Keep Order. As a result of a day of rioting by strikers and their sympathizers in the yards of the Grand Trunk railway at South Bend, Ind.. in which a freight train of about fifty cars was cut into ten sections, Pinkerton detectives stoned, and five passenger trains stalled for hours, an attempt was made to derail eastbound passenger No. 8, known as the Detroit and New York express, due in South Bend at 1:51. The engineer by chance saw the thrown switch in time to bring his train to a stop and prevent a terrible catastrophe. When he left the engine to investigate he was stoned by the mob, in which were many for- , eigners, but police prevented injury. Shortly after the attempt to derail the train was made, Jay Freel, a car repairer in the employ of the railroad, was shot and mortally wounded by John Peck, a Pinkerton detective, who with two companions. Eldridge Graham aro William Mtßeynolds. all of Battle Creek. Mich.,' were arrested. "Freel died later in a hospital. Durinr Sunday afternoon a mob which congregated.- within the limits of South Bend burned several caboose's. but efforts to fire freight cars were made fruitless by the arrival of detectives and the fire department. Rioting began when a train of fifty cars Entered the city under full speed, evident*.' with the intention of rushing through South Bend without a stop. Shortly after passing the station, it was discovered that the caboose had been lost and a stop was made to pick up the missing car. Almost immediately a gang of men ran between the cars, released the air plugs and cut the air hose, thus making it impossible to move the train. At the same time the Pinkerton detectives, who showed themselves, were •toned. Realizing that the situation was desperate, Local Agent C. A McNntt sent a hurry call for the police lad telegraphed Gov Marshall for troop* '

NAME HARDING FOR GOVERNOR OF OHIO

Barfield Withdraws His Name from the Contest

OHIO STATE TICKET

i * " Governor— Warren G. Harding, Marion. Lieutenant Governor —Francis W. Treadway. Secretary of State —Granville W. Mooney, of Ashtabula. State Treasurer Rudy W. Archer, of Belmont county. Attorney General —Ulysses G. Denman, of Lucas county. Justice of Supreme CourtJudge W. B. Crew, of Morgan county; Judge A. N, Summers, of Clark county. Clerk of Supreme Court—John S. McNutt, of Columbiana county.

At Columbus, O, George B. Cox the Republican boss of Cincinnati, handed over Judge Oren Britt Brown of Dayton, his candidate for governor in the Republican state convention and brought about the nomination of Warren G. Harding, editor of the Marion Star and an old-time Foraker man. By this stroke Mr. Cox drubbed Senator Theodore E. Burton and prevented the nomination of Representative Nicholas Longworth, ex-President Roosevelt’s son-in-law. and the candidate most favored by President Taft The preliminaries of the session disposed of, Senator T. E. Burton took charge as permanent chairman. . Jt all happened on the third ballot. Temporary Chairman Longworth had turned the gavel over to Permanent Chairman Burton, the latter had deliered his speech and John R. Malloy had called the roll of counties. The first ballot resulted as follows: Harding, 455; Browt.e, 413; Garfield,, 73; Longworth, 92; necessary to Choice, 534. On the second ballot the vote was: Harding, 497; Browne, 363; Longworth 164; scattering for Garfield. The Cuyahoga county delegates about the convention hall, calling upon the delegates to come out for Longworth. Result of the third ballot follows; Harding, 746; Brown, 120; Longworth, 195; Garfield. 5. R. R. Nevin Jr., of Montgomery county, who had named Judge Brown, moved to make Harding’s nomination unanimous, and this was done. Mr. Harding was brought before the convention by Mr. Nevin and Maurice Matche of Cleveland, and made a short address. The stand pat crowd under Senator Dick’s leadership, out generalled the radicals in the resolutions comnmtee. Dick stole Garfield's thunder on state issues. The state p’ank, the Garfield platform, were all inserted in Dick’s platform. But the bulk of Dick’s resolutions in this state platform.plastered lavish praise on Taft, the tariff and the Ohio delegation in congress. An endorsement for Taft for another term was written in. The platform is considered the stiffest piece of standpattism presented by any Republican convention this year. Only two nominations were made, that of Judge Orrin B. Browne and Warren G. Harding. The votes for Longworth and Garfield were purely complimentary. The “regulars" had control of the convention. An indorsement of President Taft satisfactory to both “progressives" and “regulars" was one prominertt result of the work of the subcommittee. Garfield announced shortly after the adoption of the platform, which ,s looked upon as being a victory for the regulars and a slap at Garfield, that he would not be considered as a candidate. His name Was not presented.

DEPOSE BRYAN AS LEADER

Nebraska Democrats Register Unbelief in His Present Policies. Nebraska Democrats in the Grand Island convention wrested the leadership of their state organization from William Jennings Bryan. By decisive votes they registered their unbelief in his present policies after listening to an impassioned appeal from Mr. Bryan, who declared the liquor interests were in an organized attempt to secure political control of the state. The minority plank submitted by Mr. Bryan w-as brief and his opponents declared it was an effort to receed from his former radical attitude. But the workers against the county option plank were unappeased arid stood firmly against it.

TAFT SPRAINS ANKLE

Walks with a Limp When Leaving Mayflower at Bangor, Me. When President Taft went ashore from the yacht Mayflower at Bangor, Me., he walked with a perceptible limp. He sprained his right ankle in climbing one of the hills of the Kebo Valley Golf club In Bar Harbor.
