BATTLE ROYAL FOR

G, A. R, (Number of Candidates Have Entered Field for This Office. (National News Association) CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Aug. 25. Every indication points to a battle i royal at the Chattanooga encampment 'of the Grand Army of the Republic for commander-in-chief. Five states j have so far made entries, and each entry Is a popular man. The states alj ready the contest for the prize are, jin alphabetical order, Indiana, Michigan, Nebraska, New Jersey and South Dakota. f The department of Indiana has indorsed Comrade O. A. Somers, a priivate in the ranks. Mr. Somers lives ,at Kokomo, and is a popular man rwith members of the Grand Army. -He has the active and undivided supIport of his states, and counts on help jfrom a number of strong states of the i central .west, and from every member of the Grand Army, to use the words (Of a friend and supporter, "who be'lieves that the time has come when a private soldier should be honored." Nebraska has entered the lists with Colonel C. K. Adams, a banker and farmer, of Superior, Neb. He is indorsed by his state department, and ihas a war record linked with the history of the Fourteenth Army corps. Colonel Adams won distinction on a number of fields, is loyal to the Grand 'Army interests, and a successful man of affairs. Michigan's Candidate. Michigan will come to the encampment carrying the flag of Hon. Washington Gardner, of Albion, the wellknown editor-statesman, and enter him as a candidate for the honor. Col. Gardner enlisted in the service when only 16, was with General Sherman during the campaign from Chattanooga to Atlanta, and sustained a serious wound at Resaca, which necessitated retirement on an honorable discharge. He was a member of congress from Michigan ten or a dozen years, serving with high honors on a number of important committees, making a national reputation as one of the Republican leaders. New Jersey's candidate for the honor is Colonel Ralph D. Cole, a popular Grand Army man, who has a creditable war record. He has the indorsement of the New Jersey department of the G. A. R., and is regarded as the candidate of the eastern section, although sectionalism plays but little part in the selection of the com-fcnander-in-chief. South Dakota in Line. , South Dakota has Indorsed Captain N. -H. Kingman, of Selby, and will come to Cattanooga determined to land the j prize. Captain Kingman organized a company in the Thirteenth Wisconsin ! regiment, and served with that organ- j Ization until the close of the war. He j has ben one of the prominent figures in the G. A. R. since its organization, and his strength is general. With five strong candidates, said to be the greatest number ever presented before a national encampment, the fight for the honor promises to be Bpirited and full of interest. It should be explained that these men are candidates in the sense that their respective state departments have indorsed them. AUTO HITS BOAT (National News Association) NEW YORK, Aug. 25. An automobile collided with a steamboat here last night. The auto was wrecked. Its several occupants were slightly injured. The accident, it may be explained, did not occur at sea. The boat was in dry dock . the driver of the auto lost control of his machine, and it plunged down a hill and crashed into the moored boat. FIGURES OF SPEECH. ilust Suppose For a Moment That They All Turned to Facts. No situation is more difficult to deal with than that in which a figure of speech becomes a fact. 1 mean that when we have been using a phrase truly, but in its general and metaphorical sens, we are rather embarrassed than otherwise if we find that it is true, even in its strict and literal sense. There does not seem to be anything more to say. Suppose you heard a family remark casually. "It's madness In papa to go to Norway!" And suppose the next Instant papa sprang into the room through a smashed window, with straws in his hair and a carving knife and howled aloud: "Ubbubboo! I'm going to Norway!" The incident would b disconcerting. It would not be easy to pursue the subject. Or suppose we said to some stately, silver haired woman who was annoyed, "I think it childish of you to take offense so easily." And suppose she sat down suddenly on the floor and began to scream for her doll and her skipping rope. We would be at a loss. Words suited to the situation would not easily suggest themselves. Of if a wife said to her husband, apropos of a luxurious friend to whom ne gave expensive dinners, "He's simply robbing you." her remarks wonld be cat short rather than further encouraged by the sight of the friend climbing out of the window with the silver teapot under his arm. The wife would have the extremely unpleasant sensation of having said the worst thing she could and having nothing more to say. Cases, of course, could be multiplied Indefinitely, as the case of one who. entering a lodging house, should say "Rats!" in disparagement of its praises and find himself Instantly surrounded by those animals, or one who 6hould ( remark, "Uncle Joseph has lost his ' head over 1013," and should find him 1 decapitated in the garden.

THAW WILL BE RETURNED SOME TIME DURING WEEK

Nearly Certain That He Will be Turned Over to the Immigration Authorities He Asks for Special Guards Today, Fearing That an Attempt to Kidnap him Will be Attempted.

(National News Association) SHERBROOKE, Que., Aug. 25. "Harry K. Thaw will be back upon U. S. soil before the week is out." This declaration was made here today by E. Blake Robinson, assistant superintendent of immigration in Canada, who is in charge of the immigration activities in the Thaw case. Lawyers on both sides agreed with Mr. Robinson that this veek would likely see Thaw going back to the Mattewan asylum where he had been confined since his acquittal of the murder of Stanford White. He Fears Kidnapping. Thaw told the reporters that he recommended his eight lawyers to hire special guards to protect him while he is outside of jail and court house. "It has come to my ears that the i New York authorities will try to kidj nap me if I am released on habeas . corpus proceedings as I fully expect ! to be," said Thaw. "I understand they i will try to seize me by force and carry ! me into New York state. Whether the attempt will be made in Sherbrooke or whether the kidnappers will wait until we are on United States soil is a question, but they would hardly affront the immigration authorities by seizing me t if I am in the hands of Dominion gov ernment representatives." Thaw decided to fight his habeas corpus proceedings to a finish after his lawyers had put the question h dropping them up to their client. He was advised by counsel that the proceedings would in all likelihood be t successful in view of the faulty manSner in which his commitment to the St. i Francis jail was made out. I While Thaw fears kidnapping at the hands of the New York state detec- ! lives the representatives of Dutchess i county New York and New York state itself are making elaborate precauI tions to combat any attempt by Thaw's friends to carry him off. It is expected that Thaw will be re leased Wednesday morning by Judge j Globensky in the superior court and that he will be immediately arrested by the immigration authorities and taken to Coaticoke. the nearest post of entry to the point where Thaw entered Canada and there a court of inquiry will be held. He Will Be Deported. Thaw will undoubtedly be deported into the little Vermont village of Norton Mills, which will immediately become the scene of a big legal fight TRY COOPER'S BLEND COFFEE

which will hold the community indefinitely in the eyes of the world. One of Thaw's dictated questions and answers -today aimed to prove that one of the seven jurors who voted for conviction at his first trial was a broth er of Stanford White's secretary, who told the jurymen he would agree to manslaughter in the second degree; that seventeen out of the twenty-four men on the two Thaw juries voted to absolutely acquit him; and that had he been convicted of slaying Stanford White, he probably would have been liberated by this time. Thaw was particularly fantastic regarding the competency of Dr. Flint as an alienist, saying that Flint had never really lived in an asylum and that his specialty was public testifying. At Thaw's trial, Dr Flint testified that Thaw was a arnoliest.

Chautauqua Notes The Sunday school held at the Chautauqua yesterday morning was well attended by the campers and those who came from the city in time to enjoy the services in the big tent. The superintendent, Juage Boggs, led the singing of the hymns from the Y. M. C. A. hymn book, and the accompaniments were played by Miss Dolores Ellis. The assembly was divided into classes as follows: Young ladies, Mrs. S. W. Traum; Young men, Herbert S. Weed; Adult, S. E. Nicholson; Intermediate girls, Mrs. Dr. Wells; and Primary, Miss Edna Smith. The attendance was 340 and the offering $7.68, the largest number and amount contributed in the history of the Chautauqua. It is expected that the attendance will number 600 next Sunday. After the lesson had been studied under the various teachers "Sunshine" Hawks gave a short talk, and a solo by Ralph Little entitled "Lord, Rebuke Me Not," accompanied by Ruth Hadley, delighted the audience. Mr. Weed, who is to be superintendent next Sunday, requests that every one i who is able, especially those who are on the grounds, attend the meeting

CHAUTAUQUA RIVAL

TO CHURCHES HERE Decrease Shown in Services Yesterday Was Very Noticeable. Services at the Chautauqua yester day morning caused a noticeable decrease ln the attendance at the local, churches. Following the close of the; agsmbly the churches wm begin j holrtine all th rpeular services. aft.r i dispensing with the evening worship during the month of August. j ' Following Christ" was the subject of the Rev. James B. Meacham. of i Rushville, who occupied the pulpit at i the First Presbyterian church. There) are three ways of following Christ, he j said, by doing, giving and being. All three are essential if people would -be ' real Christians. Christ left teachings j for the guidance of the Christian life. By doing according to these precepts is one way to be a Christian. But it is not enough to follow them only at ' times. The Christian must be a Christian in all his acts and thoughts all ' the time. First Baptist Church. ' At the First Baptist church, the Rev. W. O. Stovall discussed the passage from the scripture, "I have set Jehovah always before me." "If Jehovah is always before us." he said, "he is our source of inspiration. It is in contemplating him that we i find incentive and enthusiasm for life. "The same quality that made the soldiers bare their breasts to the bullets at Gettysburg, that gave the ideal to the painter of the last supper, that put the poets soul in In Memoriam. i must be brought out in us to make us great Christians. That quality we J must get from the Lord. i "There is something wrong so long j as life is the drive of necessity. Life; is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. So long as we j thus continue to put ourselves as ( weary sacrifices on the altar of neces-; 6ity, we have not learned what life is, j when we might be soaring to the i mountain peaks or tnnsuannj through Christ." 1 Grace M. E. Church. That Christ's followers are "the light of the world." and "the salt of the earth" was the point made by the Rev. Arthur Cates at the Grace Methodist church. Just as salt loses its savor when exposed to the weather for long periods of time, so the Christian loses his aggressive strength when he drifts away and does not stay near the heart of God. Upon the Christians, the light of Christ's teachings have been conferred, and it Is for them to let this light penetrate the darkness and sin of the world, and not keep it hidden under a bushel measure. The world, he said, was just as it had always been, following its own ways and devices, so the Christians should feel no alarm when noting its tendencies. The cause for alarm was the lack of aggressiveness on tne part of the church. Sermon by Rev. Howard. The restlessness of the age, the lustful desire for pleasure, and the frenzied scramble for wealth are the "Home Made Gods" of the present time, said the Rev. E. G. Howard at the First English Lutheran church. These he said were modern examples of the story of the false god erected by the Isrealites. when Moses was on the mountain top for forty days. The idol which they built, he said, was no better than themselves, since it was a creature of their imaginations. Their desire for such a god was due to their failure to appreciate the presence of God at all times. and help to make it as big a success as possible. Success was scored by Miss Maud Willis this afternoon in her reading of the "Fortune Hunter" at Chautauqua before a large crowd of people. Her reading was taken from the play of that name and contained a moral which eclipsed the comedy though it was rich with humor. Miss Willis is personally attractive which proved an additional asset to her ability as a reader. SB The Public Invited.
