SOCIALISTS READY FOR A CONVENT

ION

Delegates Are Pouring Into Indianapolis for National Meeting. (National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, May 11. Leading members of the Socialist party are arriving in this city in anticipation of the national convention which meets here next week to select candidates for President and Vice President of the United States and to discuss plans for the coming campaign. In view of the notable gains made by the Socialists in the elections of last year and the prediction that they will poll 2,000,000 votes next November, the coming convention naturally is expected to be the most important that the party has ever held. In at least one respect the convention is expected to be of extraordinary significance to the party and its future. It will determine the great question whether the Socialists are to follow their old methods of political action or whether they will follow the element represented by the Industrial Workers of the World, which has become impatient of political action and is preaching the doctrine that "direct action" like the recent Lawrence strike will do more for the workers than any amount of balloting. The divergent views of the rival factions are expected to result In a hardfought contest for the head of the ticket. Eugene V. Debs, who was the party choice for President in 1900, 1904 and 1908, is not considered in the running this year. The two leaders most widely known. Congressman Victor Berger and exMayor Seidel of Milwaukee, are barred from the nomination by reason of their foreign birth. Charles Edward Russell, the magazine writer, would be a satisfactory choice so far as the radicals are concerned but probably would be unacceptable to the conservative element. Max Hayes, a very militant labor editor from Cleveland, is an active candidate for the nomination. So is Duncan MacDonald, a well known leader of the mine workers in Illinois. APKINS MUST FACE CHARGE OF MURDER Peter Paul Apkins, bigamist and alleged murderer, sent from this city, where he was captured by Police Chief Gormon, to Frankfort, Kentucky, to stand trial on the charge ot bigamy, appealed to the court of appeals, asking that he not be sent to Cincinnati to stand trial for murder, but the court of appeals affirmed the decision of the Jessamine (Ky.) circuit court, committing Apkins to the Cincinnati court. In Cincinnati, Apkins is alleged to have beat and poisoned his second wife, causing her death. Apkins in a brief sojourn here married Mrs. Bertha Kohler of South Second Street. Several months after he had deserted Mrs. Kohler he was arrested in this city by Chief of Police Gormon, and bound over to the cir cuit court, but later sent to Kentucky. CITY BALL LEAGUE The City Baseball league composed of four teams will open the season on May 18th. The officers of the league will meet tomorrow to arrange a schedule. The lineup of each team has been "O. K.'d" by the officials. At the last meeting Howard Brooks was elected vice president of the organisation. When the league was organized a short time ago five ball clubs asked admission, but during the past week the Starr Piano team dropped out, leaving the Richmond Underwear team, the Y. M. C. A., the Pennsylvania railroaders and the Easthaven nine. NOW Is the THAT

POSITION DOUBT City Ordinance May Prevent Ferling's Appointment.

Although he announced this morning that he would possibly make the temporary appointment of Clarence Ferllng as city meat inspector at the city plant a permanent one. Mayor Zimmerman cannot legally do so. It is alleged by some who have investigated the case. Ferling was appointed some time ago after the government had withdrawn the government inspectors at the Holzapfel, or city plant, because of lack of interstate business. The meat inspection ordinance passed by the city council, April 29, 1907, which is modelel af'.er the government Inspection law, to the smallest details, expressly stipulates that the inspector shall inspect the meats "under the regulations and requirements prescribed by the Department of Agriculture of the United States for the inspection of meat by an act of congress of June 30, 1906." The federal laws on meat inspection provide that the inspector be a veterinary. Clarence Ferling has not received a decree as veterinarian, although his father, George Ferling is a practicing veterinarian MRS. OLDAKER DIES AT ADVANCED AGE (Palladium Special) CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., May 11. Mrs. Sarah Oldaker, mother of Representative E. E. Oldaker, died at her home in this city at 2 o'clock this morning from a complication of diseases, incident to old age. She was eighty-two years of age. Mrs. Oldaker resided in Jackson township all her life. She was born near Hiser's station, February 2, 1832. Qn December 25, 1895, was married to Francis M. Oldaker at Pennville. Four children survive her: Elmer E., Mrs. Addle Overbaugh, of Giliae, Ind., Jacob, of Santa Ana, Cal., Oren of Slividell, 111. The late Mrs. Oldaker was a member of the Christian church here. The funeral will be held at the Christian church Monday morning at 9:30 o'clock. The Rev. Mr. McCormick will have charge of the services. Burial will be in Franklin cemetery near Germantown.

WILL BEJOT FIGHT In M. E. Conference on the Amusement Question.

(National Newt Association) MINNEAPOLIS, May 11. The intense feeling caused by the first discussion of the amusement question before the committee on the state of the church was reflected today in the (general conference of the Methodist church Itself. It was evident today that the question of ohanglng the church discipline toleave out specific injunctions against card playing and theater going is the big task that j faces the conference. Never in the history of the general I conference of the church, say deleJ gates who have attended many sessions, has any one question assumed the importance of this discussion and never before have the delegates shown their partisanship more strongly. During the time the question was up for discussion before the committee there were frequent interruptions, cries of "no. no," as some of the speakers proceeded and even groans from the delegates who crowded in to hear the debate. That the fight will develop even more intently when it reaches the floor of the convention is generally predicted today. It is almost certain the committee will bring in both a minority and majority report. It Is expected from present indications that the majority report will favor a change in the church rules and that the minority will demand that no changes be made. Fire losses and the cost of Are prevention in the United States amount annually to $450,000,000, or more than the total production of gold, silver, copper, and petroleum in a year.
