'PLATFORM OF PARTY IS HOW PREPARED

IPIanks on Which Independence Party Will Stand Outlined. , , Jhisgen FOR PRESIDENT. JwASSACHUSETTS MAN IS GAINING STRENGTH AS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE NEAL PRACTICALLY OUT OF IT. Chicago, July 27. The platform of the Independence party which is to 'eet In national convention tonight, (will, if present plans are carried out, 'contain a much more radical declaraj tion on the question of injunctions !than was embodied in the platforms of either the ' demorcatic or republican J parties. From present indications the temper of the convention will be in favor of !a declaration doing away entirely with I preliminary Injunctions in cases of labor disputes. The majority of the dellAcnten vhn havp. arrived also believe that there should be no punishment for contempt of court until after a trial by Jury. The. sentiment of the convention, so far as can be forecasted, is somewhat divided concerning the financial plank of the platform. The majority seems to favor a decla ration that all money should be issued directly by the government, without i an intermediary. Others incline to the "view that the money should be ia ' eued through national banks. Another declaration which will likejly be in the platform will be In favor 'of giving to the Insterstate Commerce Commission the power to initiate ! changes in railroad tariffs, and that no i rates shall be increased without the I permission of the commission, j Want Sherman Act Amended. 1 An amendment to the Sherman act I will be favored. A. strong and specific declaration will also be made in favor of the re striction of Asiatic immigration. i It Is asserted on all sides that the contest for the nominations will be free and open. Of the candidates now in the field, Thomas L. Hisgen of Massachusetts has a strong following and he is apparently in the lead. William Howard of Alabama has many friends who are making a strong fight in his Interest. The In diana delegation is pushing Charles F. S. Neal of that state, although Mr. Neal himself said Sunday that he hardly expected his name to go before the convention. Other candidates are John Temple Graves of j Georgia and Howard S. Taylor of Chicago. The name of Charles A. Walsh of Iowa, secretary of the national committee and who for many years acted in a similar capacity for the ; democratic party, is also mentioned. W. R. Hearst, who is to be temporary chairman of the convention has arrived and after spending several hours in company with friends returned to the Auditorium Annex tonight to begin work on his speech. Mr. Hearst has reiterated the, statement he had made in New York, that he waB not a candidate for the presidential nomination and that he would adhere positively to his declaration that he must not be considered in that light ! Walsh to Be Chairman. At a conference held early in the evening it was decided that Charles A. Walsh should be the permanent chairman of the convention. The national committee met this morning at 10 o'clock for the purpose of making final preparations for the I convention. I Good Laces are Always Treasures Every woman dreads sendine her fine laces to the wash, because coarse yellow soap always spoils them. They should not be boiled, because the delicate linen threads, like all otherk vegetable fabrics, will boll soft. f If you want your laces to look like new, use Easy Task soap. You need not boil them or give them hard rubbing. ANONYMOUS LETTERS WRITTEN FOR 10 YEARS Federal Authorities Hope to Capture Writer. Jackson, La., July 27. Federal au thorities are searching hore for an anonymous letter writer who attacks women, according to Mayor A. B. Hoi combe and a citizens committee. That committee issued a statement In part as follows: "We and numerous others have been the victims of a constant stream of anonymous letters of the Tilest character, directed personally not only upon ourselves, but upon our daughters, our sisters, our wives and our daughters. Neither the living nor dead have been spared, and the work bas been going on for ten years. TAKES NEW STEP. Famous Prleberg Silver Mines Will Be Closed. Berlin, July 27. The Freiberg silver mines In Saxony, which have been worked since the twelfth century, are to be closed. Last year's loss on them to the government was $220,000. They would have been closed sooner, had not the government shrunk from pauperising the miners. Many of the oldami are to be pensioned.

ROOSEVELTACCEPTS Is Honorary President of the Society of Peace Which Has High Purposes.

HOPES TO UNITE WORLD. New York, July 27. President Roosevelt has accepted the honorary presidency of the Peace and Arbitra-I tion League, which is the outgrowth of the North Carolina congress and which has as its object adequate armanment and effective arbitration. President Roosevelt's letter accepting the honorary presidency was made public-today by Hayne Davis, former president of the league. It follows: My Dear Mr. Davis: I am in receipt of your letter inclosing notice of my election as firBt honorary president of the Peace League, and gladly accept for I most emphatically believe that the whole American people should subscribe to what you call your "practical program for peace"; that is. to the doctrine that we should provide adequate armament to protect us against all aggression and at the same time strive for the effective arbitration of any and all disputes that may arise between us and foreign powers where it is possible to submit to, arbitration. In other words, I cordially sympathize with your announced purpose to secure present protection for the nation and at the same time make as rapid progress as possible toward permanent world peace. As you well say, we should have an unquestionably superior power in our own possessions and in the waters adjacent thereto in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans; and we should also do everything possible to secure agreements with all governments to respect each other's territory and sovereignity and to arbitrate all other questions. I should be delighted to see Senator McCreary president of the league if you do not feel you can continue in that office. Sincerely yours. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Proposes to Unite World. Announcement wa3 also made of the plans of the league of peace, another organization, which proposes to unite the eighty nations of the world as are the states of the American union. The nations will be pledged to universal peace and international arbitration, with the permanent international court at The Hague as the judiciary department, the inter-parliamentary union, composed of all the members of all the national parliments of the world, as the legislative department, and a world executive with the title of the "Peace Maker."

Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 27. Presi dent Roosevelt again Sunday made use of an automobile in preference to his team in going from Sagamore Hill to the Christ Episcopal church in the village. It is reported that the president has said that he did not care to use an automobile so long as there were no exercises to be had. But it would seem that he is beginning to take a fancy to riding in one or the other of the two big touring cars sta tioned here for the use of the secret service men. Loeb Going on Vacation. President Roosevelt's secretary, William Loeb, Jr., is furbishing up his rifles and other fire arms and overhauling his fishing tackle, preparatory to taking bis summer vacation, and en joying relaxation from the arduous duties of the important post he oc cupies.

From there he will go to the west, where he has a camp in the Jackson Hole country In Wyoming. There he will spend the remainder of his holiday roughing it in true Roose velt style.

RETURNS ONLY TO SLAY HIS WIFE

When Wanderer Was Not Allowed to Enter Old Home He Killed His Wife. SUICIDE ATTEMPT FAILED. LOUIS ARMOUR OF TOLEDO THEN LEFT THE SCENE AND IS STILL AT LARGE HIS LIFE ONE OF MYSTERY. Toledo, O., July 27. Angered be cause after having been abandoned for sixteen years by him, his success ful wife would not allow him to come back into her heart and home, Louis Armour, aged 51, a former paving contractor, murdered the woman Sunday as she stood in her door preparatory to going to church, tried to kill his daughter, and failed in an effort to commit suicide when his revolver failed to go off. As Mrs. Armour with prayer book in hand, was opening her door, she was startled upon seeing her husband, who had left a month before, never to return, at which time he was seen by her for the first time since he forsook his family sixteen years ago. Asking her where she was going, he was told to church. Upon her refusal to allow him to come back into the home again, some more words were exchanged, when he whipped out his revolver and fired three shots at her. One struck her back of the ear as she turned to run, and she fell dying to the floor. Her eldest daughter, Mrs. D. Shea, rushed to the door and a bullet was sent crashing in her direction. Then the murderer turned the weapon upon himself and tried to commit suicide, but it failed to respond. Throwing it away he ran down an alley until almost to a street, when he walked leisurely along and when asked by a pa6ing woman what was wrong-up the alley, he replied, "Nothing." Police Surround City. That was the last seen of him. Hundreds of officers and citizens are on the outlook and the city is virtually surrounded by a cordon of officers and deputies, while the neighboring country is up in arms. The entire life of Armour is one of mystery. Leaving his family when the children were but babies, and he was making a good salary, he disappeared as though swallowed up by the earth and until a month ago he was thought dead by his relatives and family. Where he has spent his life and how is not known by anybody here. But a month ago he suddenly appeared in Toledo, and after finding that his two daughters were well married and prosperous, that his son was doing well and that the woman he forsook had reared her family and gotten a home of her own, he tried to ingratiate himself again and wanted to be taken back. But this the mother and wife refused, and after seeing his daughters he left, saying -he would never return again. When he appeared at her door Sunday mornlnig, Mrs. Armour saw him again for the second time in these many years. Just what passed between them is not known, because the daugnter, who was the only one to hear, is hysterical and her life is despaired of. Ex-Patrolman Frank Scott, who lives next door, summoned aid, when he heard the shots, and the dying woman was hurriedly placed In an ambulance, but she died before the hospital was reached. Immediately every officer in the city was summoned and the search for Armour began, but so far no success has attended the efforts. 'His other daughter, Mrs. Tom Fallon, was sum moned from Cedar Point, where she has a summer home, and the son, too, was called from a vacation. Mrs. Armour and her children have for years been one of the most highly respected old German families In the city. Posses are searching for Armour, but it is the belief that he has com mitted suicide. Officers guard the home, fearing that he may return, if alive, to complete his murderous work. MEN SCREAM AS Two Young Women Lose Lives In Lake Erie. Cleveland, Ohio, July 27. Miss Rose Morgan and Mrs. Nellie Smith, who were rowing on Lake Erie, near the breakwater, with two young men who gave their names at Charles Hall and Ed Pleltz, were drowned last night, Frank La Rose, lookout at the lifesaving station, watched the party moor the boat at the foot of the lighthouse and walk out on the breakwater about 700 feet. Then he saw the women take off their shoes and stock ings and walk down the stone steps facing the lake. The men were on top of the breakwater. "Suddenly there was a faint cry end I saw the two men run to the edge of the sea wall, waving their hands and scream," said LaRose. Life savers recovered the bodies.

ALL RUSHJOR LAUD Government Restrictions Removed from Nine Million Acres.

ALL BELONG TO INDIANS. Muskogee, Okla., July 27. At midnight the law removing the government restriction on 9.0O,O0O acres of Indian land in Eastern Oklahoma, went into effect. Every real estate office In that part of the new state was crowded with anxious buyers and sellers of lands. Money was changing hands by the hundreds of thousands. Agents were busy corraling the allottees that have been in practical captivity the last few days. Leases were taken on land that was not bought and actual cash was passed from hand to hand, making the night one of the most exciting in years in Oklahoma. Everyone strove to get the first chance at the property. The removal meant that 9.0XMX!0 of the 20,000,000 acres of Indiana land in 40 counties of Eastern Oklahoma, which formerly was Indian Territory, became salable. The fight of the white man to secure Indian lands was begun the moment the Indian allottments were made, and it has been pushed ever since. When statehood became effective and the question of taxation Became an issiie the removal of restrictions became imperative, but not .until Oklahoma got Its own delegation in Congress was the desired legislation secured. For a month agents of real estate companies have been rounding up the Indian and negro allotees. One buyer has been entertaining a number of Indians and negroes here for three days, providing them with everything they desired, the only conditions imposed being that they do not leave the rooms or allow any one to enter. Guards in the hallway night and day saw that the rule was obeyed. WANTED TO BE BURIED BESIDE OLD HORSE Rich Farmer Prefers Hell to Cemetery. Pittsburg, Pa., July 21. Warren W.
