SEVEN TERRORISTS WILLJME TO DIE General Confirms Death Sentence on Russians. St. Petersburg, March 2 General Hazenkampf, Chief of the General Staff, overruling the plea of counsel for the defense, has confirmed the death sentence passed by a Court-martial on the seven terrorists, Including the mysterious Italian, Calvino, who were convicted of complicity in the plot against the lives of Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholalevltch and M. Chtcheglovitoff, the Minister of Justice. A new trial for the condemned men had been asked on the ground that the verdict of the Military Court In Invalid, since the state of extraordinary security ceased to exist In St. Petersburg In January, and that the original statute establishing various classes of military law, promulgated in !ISS1, had expired In August, 1907. General Hazenkampf has commuted the sentence of Mile. Yanchewsfcaya, a eeventecn-year-old-schoolgirl. from 15 years imprisonment to 10 tyears. It was learned that Premier Stolyfcihln had a narrow escape when he ad ministered the ministerial statement to the Douma on November 29. The Italian who has been posing as CalMno, was present at this session with a bomb in his pocket. The Premier left the building early and did not tncet the man. UOOKWALTER NOW 1BKINGJR TAILOR Determined That He ' Shall Have Solid Delegation. Indianapolis, lnd., March 2. Mayor TSookwalter has taken off his coat for "Win. L. Taylor, the Indianapolis candidate for the republican nomination tor governor, and is determined that he shall have the solid delegation from this district. He has issued a call for a meeting of his appointees Monday night, at which he will put each one on the "green carpet" until he learns how they stand relative to Taylor's candidacy. It has beeu no secret for tome time that some of the party worker, here resented the idea of Taylor beiuj a candidate for governor, inasmuch as they could not figure how he has a better chance to win now than four years ago when he was beaten on the first ballot. The Marion county party workers never have been able to draw any patronage from the statehouse because they were tied to losing candidates here, and they want their share of what is being handed out there.

EZRA MEEKER WILL AGAIN SPRING INTO THE LIMELIGHT BY HIS PLANS.

Portland, Ore., March 2. Ezra Meeker, a Hoosier by birth, the aged pioneer of tho Northwest Pacific coast, who, in the ripeness of years, reeroseed the continent by the old Oregon trail traveling from Puyallup, his home In this state, via Indianapolis to Washington, D. C, is in the city. He is at tho home of his daughter, Mrs. Eben S. Osborne, 1201 Thirty-eighth avenue north. He will remain in Seattle about fifteen days, after which he will go East agaiu. Mr. Meeker's trip across the continent in a prairie schooner drawn by an

EZRA MEEKER AND OX TEAM. Will Illustrate Scenes Along the Old Oregon Trail at Northwest Exhibition.

ox team, the outfit being a duplicate of the schooner .wheh he used fifty-four years ago in coming from his Indiana home to the Pacific coast, attracted national attention. Mr. Meeker started out on this trip with a fixed purpose in view, that of reclaiming the old Oregon trail and marking it with marble shafts so that at some future day a great national highway can be built as a lasting monument to the sturdy pioneers. Mr. Meeker was surrounded by admiring relatives at the home of his daughter. He sat at a table which was covered with papers and photographsand explained his future plans. "I am arranging to illustrate pioneer life on the old Oregon trail at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition. Three acres of ground will be assigned to me for this project. On this area we can. A PEEP AT SOME OF WHO CUT G. Scott Payne of Brazil, who is out for the republican nomination for the Vigo-Clay joint senatorship, is making an unusually strong reform plea to the people in his canvass. Mr. Payne s a great believer in the anti-liquor sentiment which is growing in Indiana, and he would do everything in his power to further temperance legislation if he was elected to the state senate. Now that Howard Maxwell of Rockville has been chosen as the republican nominee for congress in the Fifth district there Is much talk upon the question of who the democratic nominee will be. Claude G. Bowers of Terre Haute, who made two unsuccessful attempts to take away Congressman Holiday's seat in Congress, is proroinently mentioned for the place, but Mr. Bowers doesn't seem to be making any particular effort to be nominated. He is a member of the Terre Haute Board of Works under the administration of Mayor Lyons and appears to be satisfied. --" William Jennings Bryan will be the principal speaker at the annual banquet of the Jackson club of Indiana university, if the present plans of Paul G. Davis of Indianapolis, president of the club are carried out. Mr. Davis already is making preliminary arrangement for the banquet, and he has started by making an effort to get the Nebraskan to speak to the students. In addition the various democratic nominees for state offices, who will have been named by March 26, will be invited to be present and respond to toasts. It is generally conceded in the Second district that Cyrus E. Davis of Bloorafield and Alvin Padgett of Washington will fight it out for the Democratic congressional nomination. They are regarded as the strongest candidates for the nomination, and there are no indications that either will lose any strength before convention time. The struggle for the republican nomination in the Eleventh district is gradually narrowing down to George B. Lockwood of Pen. Miami county, and Dr. Charles Good of Warren, Huntington county, and as tho time for the convention draws nearer the battle is waging warmer. Tho convention is to be held at Marion March 12. George W. Cromer of Muncie con tinues to work in his own quiet way ia the Eighth district, apparently with the idea of making ane eleventh-hour bid fot the concessional nomination. His friends from up that way say lie is meeting with wonderful success in his efforts to reunite the party in the district, and they think he should have the nomination by way of reward. Ninth District republicans will meet at Frankfort next Thursday to nominate a candidate for congress. At present there are three candidates in the field Charles B. Landis of Delphi. B. F. Harniss of Kokomo and A. R. Tucker of Noblesville. Frank J. Hall of Rusbville is making a thorough canvass of tho state in his I efforts to be chosen by the Democratic

in a fairly representative manner, reproduce scenes along the trail and give a good panorama as nearly real as it is possible to make it of the life of the early pioneers We will have old-time cabins, Indian houses and camps, scenes along the trail, scenes in camp, and will show some of the difficulties tue pioneers encountered in crossing the continent. I discussel the matter today with some of the fair officials. "The ultimate object of marking the old Oregon trail is to establish a national highway from East to West. Twenty automobile clubs in Pennsylvania alone indorsed the project and are urging the passage of the Humphrey bill, which is to be the wedge for opening up the larger project." Mr. Meeker is in splendid health. He speaks enthusiastically of his trip and tells many inetresting stories. THE MEN POLITICAL CAPERS convention as the nominee for Lieutenant Governor, and as a starter he has the Sixth district solidly and enthusiastically behind him. Mr. Hall has long been a worker in the party ranks and he is one of the original Bryan men in Indiana.. His only opponent for the office he seeks is Frank E. tiering of South Bend. The Rev. Thomas H. Kuhn of Richmond, candidate for the democratic nomination for governor, is making a big stir over the state with his antinquor campaign. He is putting aside all semblance of currying favor with both the saloon and the anti-saloon elements and k making it known as widely as possible that he is a temperance candidate. Although he is talked of as a possible candidate for two different offices, it is not likely Dr. Robert J. Aley of Bloomington, and a member of the Indiana university faculty, will get into politics the coming campaign far enough to make a race. Dr. Aley, In the last state election was the democratic nominee for superintendent of public instruction, and his friends urged him to make the race again this year because they thought he was en-, titled to the opportunity when chances i of success appeared brighter. Dr. j Aley also has been looked upon for I some time as a probable dark horse i contestant in the Second district con- j gressional fight, hut he has expressed no desire to take such a part. Frank "Bunny"' Hare, formerly farfamed as an Indiana university athlete and lated as a professional ball player, will e a delegate from Noblesville, Hamilton county, to the republican! state convention. His father, W. B. Hare, long has been actively engaged in Republican affairs iu Hamilton county. On the same delegation will be Sam Hines, a nephew of Edward Everett Neal of Noblesville, until recently a candidate for the republican nomination for reporter of the supreme court, who was a classmate of Hare at Bloomington. Hines Is taking care of the Westfield. Hamilton roimtv. newj-paper owned by Mr. Neal. William J. Bryan will attend the braska democratic state convention at Omaha this week. Former Senator David B. Hill o New York, who has not missed a national convention of his party for many years, does not intend to go to the Denver convention this year. Former Governor S. H. Eirod o South Dakota has declined to accede to the wish t.f his friends to become a candidate for governor again this year. Republicans of New Mexico will hold their territorial convention at Silver City, March 21, to select delegates to tne national convention at Chicago. For the first time in the history of Wisconsin, a United States Senator is to be voted for by the people directly next fall, in accordance with the provisions of the primary election law.

Stanton, former lieu tenant governor of Vermont, has an-! nounced his candidacy for the republican nomination for governor of that state. Among other things he advo- j cates a revision of the taxation laws and improved highways and schools. Fort Worth defeated Galveston and Mineral Wells in a contest for the republican state convention of Texas to nune delegates to the national conven tion in Chicago. The state convention i will be held in May. The delegates-at-large to the republican national convention from Massachusetts probably will be Senator Lodge and Senator Crane, ex-Governor John L. Bates, and Col. Sidney O. Bigney, a millionaire manufacturer of Attlchoro. James T. Lloyd, the new chairman of the democratic congressional campaign committee, has represented the First Missouri district in congress ; since 1897. He has been a strong Bry-1 an man and an earnest advocate of the free coinage of silver. He is a native of Missouri and a lawyer by profession. Senator Smoot of Utah confronts a hot fight for his seat this year. The legislature, to be elected in November, will choose his successor. The American party and the democrats propose to raise the Issue of church and state, claiming that Smoot and the republicans really represent .the Mormon church, and that Mormonism will never get its deserts until state and church are separated by an overwhelming vote of the people.

SIXTH DISTRICTER LEADING FIELD Watson, Says Indianapolis Dispatch, Has the Grip on Charles W. Miller. PERKINS HANDED ONE FEDERATED LABOR MAN IS ASSERTED TO BE PROFESSIONAL DEMOCRATIC POLITICIAN THE CAMPAIGN IS WEAK. Indianapolls, Ind., Mar. 2. As the gubernatorial race now stands, Watson is generally conceded to be in the lead, with CharleB W. Miller second. Watson's lieutenants say they have twice as many votes as Charles W. Miller, and more than the combined vote of all his opponents. Over 500 delegates have been elected, including those named Saturday. At Watson's headquarters it was said that over 300 are for him on first choice, while they have the promise of 100 more on second choice. If tho present ratio is maintained Watson's managers say they have hopes of landing the nomination on the first ballot. On the other hand, Wilson Roos, one of the Charles W. Miller's managers, says that their figures show that Miller leads, although he hasn't as many votes as the field. Taylor's managers have made no claims of leading the "bunch." Hugh Th. Miller is making a play for second choice delegates iu many counties, and his strength is problematical. His chance of winning lies in the llklihood of a deadlock between Watson and Charles W. Miller, in which case he feels a majority of the delegates will go to him. That is his own version of the present state of affairs. Delegates Named Soon. Over half of the delegates will be elected within the next week. It will : dates has appeared together it has been apparent that Watson was the! j most popular, but his opponents say! that popularity won't get him the delj egate3. His managers assert, however, that nothing but a radical change in public sentiment In the next five weeks will keep him from winning. The indications arc that the wind has been taken from the sails of the so-called labor movement against Watson. Edgar Perkins and other democratic labor leaders, who' started the hue and cry against Watson's record, are keeping up a desultory fire, but it is not having much effect. Perkins and his democratic associates made the same sort of attack against Governor Hanly three and a half years ago, but he was easily nominated on the first ballot and elected by the largest majority ever given a rent fiTdi ublican candidate for governor in diana. Governor Hanly ran a little behind t'je state ticket, but politicians who analyzed the returns carefully say that his loss was due to the effort of liquor dealers to defeat him and not to organized labor, as the republican members refused to be led astray by their democratic leaders. Rumors have reached the various political headquarters here during the last few days that the final card to be played by the leaders of the labor crusade will be to send representatives to tho state convention to threaten the republicans with defeat if they nominate Watson The game is now being tried on local candidates In Bev - eral counties,

Perkins' efforts to line up the laboring men at Ft Wayne against Watson is termed by the Ft Wayne News as "impudent and unwarranted meddling in -republican aifairs by professional democratic politicians like Edgar A. Perkins and FtitJe Feick." The News is one of the leading republican papers of Indiana and it says that it has not taken any part in the gubernatorial contest, but Uiat it h!iev?s in fair riaj.

-WILL BECONVERSE'S RULING City Judge Will Give Opinion on The Meat Inspection Ordinance. HIS PROBABLE OPINION. Judge W. C. Converse of tho city court has announced that he would give his opinion on the constitutionality of the meat inspection ordinance Tuesday morning. This case was argued before Judge Converse several weeks ago. The case heard by him was entitled by the City of Richmond

TAFT AS A PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITY

Assuming him to be president, who knows what Mr. Taft would do? As one who wishes the gentleman well, I am no less driven to say that I fear he would do nothing. For one sinister sign he is ever looking for a judgeship, which is only another way of saying that he's ever looking for a chance to sit down. The White House is no place for tired people. There may be rest for the weary, rest for thn wicked, but there's no rest for a president who seeks to do right. He must be a Hecla of industry a Corliss engine in trousers and frock coat. There are other elements of contrast between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft. Gien one smooth and suave and plausible to do the fooling, I think Mr. Taft might be fooled. There be those the Hon. Elihu Root for example who could pack him in cotton batting and sing him to sleep. Then will arise a final Question of the popular. Suppose the party, listening to Mr. Roosevelt, names Mr. Taft; him; it will hurt him. If he is nomi nated there will come vicious millions of money to defeat him. As against this yellow peril, even a Roosevelt eni dorsement might be found Insufficient, ! It is one thing to vote for Mr. Roofjevelt, another to vote with him, a truth which would find demonstration were the test to be made. Folk interested, particularly. Mr. Roosevelt, should think on these things, before venturing too far upon matters in which so much Is at stake. The Republicans are not necessarily a dominant factor in national politics. Mr. Roosevelt wasn't elected by Republicans, but in spite of them. With Mr. Johnson of Minnesota pitted against him, Mr. Taft would be beaten. The best hope, if not the only hope, of Mr. Taft, would be that the Democrats might nominate r nobody whose prospects the Ryan and the Bel; mont upas trees could be relied upon to blight. And yet there is a word or two in defense of Mr.Taft, since his position was a false one. In this hunt for a nomination, he docs not represent hiragelf but Mr. Roosevelt. And while Mr. Roosevelt, as President, is precisely what I want, and all I want, I can readily make out what a difficult task it must be for Mr. Taft, however upright his intentions, to stand in the Roosevelt shoes. "Imitations," said j Dr. Johnson, "are always failures"; j and he might have added that imita- ! tlOTiK of KntimTif aro iha rjtppt . . a T v. r Taftj proceeding br Taft UKbta and i u a a , j ua m Ail c 14 y u 4 V 4111 Taft impulses, were doing his own

Instead of attempting to take over wholesale tho thoughts, conclusions and policies of Mr, Roosevelt, be would appear to much better advantage. Not but what it is somewhat upon my slope of thought that Mr. Roosevelt himself will not be pleased by this article. What then? I have Vnown Mr. Roosevelt for sixteen years, but my acquaintance with him was not th reason why 1 have urged and still urge his election. I have been a Roosevelt man, not for a Roosevelt but a public reason. Mr. Roosevelt fights the right people the big black buccaneers of Money. For every honest Interest, eating its bread in the sweat of its brow, he prevails as the shadow of a great rock In a wearr land. No, it is for no personal sentiment of nearness that I have advocated Mr. Roosevelt. Were such to guide, there be score with whom I'm twice a intimate, whom I like twice as well and have known twice as long. Were it only a question of friendship, the name-plates of a ecore of scores so far a3 I'm concerned, would precede Mr. Roosevelt's upon the doors of the White House."
