STARTS WILD SCENE

0 KITCHENER Westminister Abbey to be attended by , King George and all the represents j tires of the government. ! There was a meeting of the cabinet j this morning to discuss the situation j brought about by the death of the sec- j retary of war, upon whose shoulders were borne the duty. of conducting the military establishment of the empire. Flagh were at half-mast everywhere. Silent throngs filled the streets discussing the tragedy. Blame German Wasp, Despite the secrecy attending the visit of Lord Kitchener to Russia, the belief is growing that the German admiralty was notified of the proposed trip by a spy and that the Hampshire was blown up through some agency of Germany, perhaps a submarine. Insistent demands are being made by the newspapers that more rigorous treatment be accorded enemy aliens in the British Isles. The question of Lord Kitchener's successor was one of the chief topics. The three names most conspicuously mentioned were those of Sir William Robertson, chief of staff of the British army, who was designated as acting war secretary in the absence of Lord Kitchener; David Lloyd-George, the minister of munitions, and Lord Derby, who was put in charge of the recruiting when that burden was taken away from the war office. It is believed that the total death list in the destruction of the Hampshire will be nearly seven hundred, as the sea was so rough that the small boats launched after the explosion could not live. Among the victims were the following notables, who were accompanying the war secretary: Colonel C. A. Fitzgerald, military secretary to Lord Kitchener; Brigadier General Ellershaw, of the ministry of munitions; Sir Frederick Donaldson, of the ordnance department; Lieutenant R. D. MacPherson, of General Ellershaw s staff; Lieutenant Robinson, aide de camp to Sir Frederick Donaldson, and Hugh O'Bairne, of the foreign office. Army Mourns for Week. Following the order issued by King George, the whole British army has gone into mourning and will remain in mourning for a week. Ever since Monday night, when the tragedy occurred, the admiralty has been making a search off the Orkney islands for the bodies of Kitchener and his staff. Parcel boats have scoured the coast, and search parties have combed the beach. Despite the power and prestige of Kitchener his death will have no effect upon the military situation of England, it. is declared in official circles. The empire will continue to battle as vigorously as ever against the enemy. But it is evident from the attitude of the press and the public, that a feeling of deep depression has followed. The newspapers all eulogize Kitchener, especially the Times, which has been one of his severest critics. Roosevelt the delegates, the occupants of the gallery and the women in teh boxes stood up and cheered. The band was playing, but nobody heard it. In slow procession the different states marched to the stand bearing banners. Georgia, Indiana, Maine and West Virginia trooped to the stage. Others followed in a demonstration that lasted for a long time. LODGE NAMED FIRST VOTE riiCAGO, June 7. Senator Lodge issachusetts was elected chairf the Republican committee on . lions by unanimous vote at the .ning of the executive committee I This afternoon. Charles F. . Scott of Kansas was elected secretary. Sena- ; tor Lodge was then authorized to appaint a sub-committee of ten,, himself ! included, to draft a platform. iNEED PEACE TALK Donald Brooks, 15, conceived the notion at the east end playgrounds that his "kid" brother, Jim, 12, stood in great need of corporal punishment but did not relish undertaking the punishment of Jim unassisted. He appealed to another boy, Howard Miller, to assist him. Miller agreed and at once seized upon Jim, holding him securely while Donald spanked his younger brother. Arthur Brooks, angered over his elder son's actions, appealed to Acting Chief McNally to reprimand Donald and young Miller. SPEAKS AEOUT SIN. A number of people heard the lecture given by A. M. Saphmore of Brooklyn, N. Y., at the K. of P. Temple on "Sin Unto Death" last night. The lecture was held under the auspices of the Associated Bible students. ENTERS COMPETITION. Fred J.

ROAD TAX REDUCED BY TOWNSHIP BOARD

By turning one fourth of all the Wayne township roads over to the county to be placed under the supervision of the county road department, the road tax levy (working levy) was reduced from 15 to 10 cents for 1917 by the Wayne township advisory board. This was the only levy fixed by the board yesterday and will enable a two or three cent reduction in the total township levy, according to Trustee Edgerton. The remaining levies will be made in September. The advisory board was not able to let the contracts for supplies for the schools at the meeting yesterday owing to the absence of Charles Ewbanks, a member of the board. VORE MEETS MAYOR; DID NOT KNOW HIM If every citizen bothered the city's chief executive no more than William D. Vore, 732 North Tenth street, Mayor Robbins would have very little to do than preside over police court and draw his salary. Mr. Vore came to the city building today to obtain some information regarding a north end alley. He met the mayor and inquired of him who he was. "I am Mayor Robbins," said the executive. "Is that so. Glad to meet you. You are the first mayor I have had any dealings with since the days of John Finley. I would like to speak with you and I won't take up much of your time," said Mr. Vore. Mayor Robbins promptly granted his aged constituent an interview.

On Convention Corners

CHICAGO, June 7. Chauncey MDepew; ex-senator from New York, and most famous of after-dinner speakers, wandered into the Sherman headquarters. A half-dozen old-time Illinois politicians greeted him. The young leaders, who are the brains of the campaign of Senator Sherman, either did not know the distinguished New Yorker or were too busy to listen to stories. "When Teddy Comes Marching Home," sung to the tune of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," is the new war song of the Roosevelt Progressives. There are several verses. Here's one: "The pacifists will not be there, Hurrah, hurrah! Josephus won't be anywhere, HHurrah, hurrah! We'll not be bossed by Henry Ford Nor old Doc Bryan, thank the lord! Many, of" the delegates .'from .warm states are suffering from rheumatism. A chilly rain fell all night and was still coming down today. An umbrella vender does a rushing business at the entrance to the Congress hotel. The rainshields were sold at $1 each and generally lasted about long enough to withstand one blast from Lake Michigan. Elevator service in the Congress hotel is slow. One delegate waited vainly for half an hour to board a car up to the caucus of the Tennessee delegation. Then he whispered to a bell boy and a coin changed hands. The delegate was with his delegation in three minutes. He had been taken up the freight elevator. "We like Chicago people; we admire! Chicago stores; we envy Chicago's!

The bolero jacket and wide brimmed hat are characteristic features undoubtedly inspired by the Spanish modes. The snug waistline, too, is a detail worthy of note. Like most of the smart and new bathing suits, this is shown with the taffeta bloomers finishing with a snug cuff at the knee.

HARDING BRIfJ WITH HIS

TO CHICAGO, June- 7. Senator Harding's appeal for preparedness for national defense met with a round of applause. When he reached his appeal for "party solidarity" his every word was hung on to by the delegates. They listened most intently: "This is not the time for recrimination. It is the day of reconstruction," was an epigram that also seemed to please the majority of the delegates. The chairman's declaration that "everything is abnormal except the depleted condition of the Federal treasury which is characteristic of Democratic control and the facilities of the administration for writing notes without effective notice was followed by the first genuine laughter of the day. Announcement that the Republicans believed sincerely and sobery in adequate national defense pleased the delegates and they cheered the sentiment. "We ought to have a navy that fears none in the world' was another dec laration that brought the delegates to their feet with snouts or approval. As Chairman Harding got farther and farther into his speech the delegates began to warm up and the applause became almost continuous. "We proclaim Justice and we love peace and we mean to have them them, was empnaiszea Dy senator Harding and was greeted with the longest applause of the speech to date. The end of Chairman Harding's speech was seemingly welcome to the . rl a boulevard system, and Chicago T will" spirit but we think Chicago's weather is rotten," was the caustic comment of Henry S. Chubb, national committeeman from Florida. "Of course, you have nice weather at times," he added, ' but it's too uncertain for a Florida gentleman." The negro delegates from Georgia have poor memories. After the caucus Tuesday when National Committeeman Henry S. Jackson was re-elected a dozen or more of the "black and tan" element from the state were asked the result by a curious correspodent. None remembered. "Mr. Jackson read the names to us only once," was the excuse of one. Strictest fire laws prevailed at the Republican convention today. A "no smoking-' sign adored every available spot on the Coliseum walls. Several hundred firemen and policemen are present to see . that it was obeyed. It looked as though they were going to have their hands full with Uncle Joe Cannon present. Heavy wooden boxes addressed to T. Coleman Du Pont filled one of the corridors on the second floor of the Congress hotel. "Dynamite for the powder king to blow up the Republican convention," remarked a husky Westerner,, as he read the name of Delaware's "favorite son." "Naw, just a lot of literature," returned his companion. "Sign your name, W. J. Bryan signed his," cried a strong voiced Hoosier, in front of the Charles Warren Fairbanks headquarters. Every convention delegate and visitor is urged to sign his name to the "roll or honor." "Starting a mail order list for

Chairman Hilles then presented the list of temporary officers: The convention agreed that until the rules of the convention was framed by the rules committee, the rules of the convention of 1908 should govern the proceedings. Thus the convention avoided the objectionable "steam roller rule" under which the Roosevelt men were run out of the 1912 convention. The plan was designed as an olive branch to the Progressives. The list of the credentials, permanent organization rules and order of business as agreed upon at the conference of the various state delegations during the past two days was then presented. To get this list a roll call of the states was necessary. "While the roll j call was in progress many of the delegates and alternates commenced filing out of the hall and much confusion resulted. During the interval Governor Whitman of New York held a number of conferences with other state leaders. Then he said : "I am now satisfied that the Progressives will agree to accept Justice Hughes before we are done." Water and fireproof barrels will be made in Hawaii from bagasse, a sugar mill by-product, for exporting sugar and importing potash. Indiana apples?" asked a Washington delegate, suspiciously. A big picture of Abraham Lincoln, framed with some of the black walnut rails, which the martyred president split to fence an Illinois farm, has been placed in the Lawrence Y. Sherman headquarters. "Roosevelt Republican Delegates Committee," was the way it was written on the make-shift sign tacked on the door of Room 1160, Congress hotel. Some one with an evilly-slanted sense of humor saw the sign and added a word. The legend then read: "Roosevelt Republican Delegates' Disaster Committee." The sign disappeared later. SUNDAY SCHOOLS TO HELP MISSIONS LYNN, Ind., June 7. "The place to begin promoting missionary interest is in the Sunday school," said Ross Hadley, Richmond, when he addressed the Ministerial Association of the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends yesterday afternoon. The best way to interest young people in missionary work is to start Bible study classes in the various churches, he said. FRIENDS ADJOURN MEETING AT LYNN LYNN, Ind., June 7. Willard O.

Like A Boy at 50 Bubbling Over With Vitality Taking Iron Did It Doctor Says Nuxated Iron is Greatest of All Strength Builders Often Increases the Strength and Endurance of Delicate, Nervous Folks 200 Per Cent. In Two Weeks Time.

NEW YORK. N. Y. Not long ago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. I was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of 20 and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man; in fact a young man he really was notwithstanding his age. The secret he said was taking iron nuxated iron had filled him with renewed life. At 30 he was in bad health; at 46 careworn and nearly all in. Now at 50 a miracle of vitality and his face beaming with the buoyancy of youth. As I have said a hundred times over, iron is the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only throw away patent medicines and nauseous concoctions and take simple nuxated iron, I am convinced that the lives of thousands of persons might be saved, who now die every year from pneumonia, grippe, consumption, kidney, liver and heart trouble, etc. The real and true cause which started their diseases was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought on by lack of iron in the blood. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat. your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it and as a consequence you become weak, pale and sickly looking just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can walk or how far you can walk without becoming tired out. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous run-down people who were ailW. F. HOELSCHER OPTICIAN 6th & Main. Open Evenings. Watch For m

BLACK TAN WHITE SHINE WITH SfllSOiA AND SAVE At all dealers Accept no substitute ! ing all the while, double their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen ; days time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. ; But don't take the old forms of reduced iron, iron acetate or tincture of 'iron simply to save a few cents. You : must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated like , nuxated iron if you want, it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove : worse than useless. Many an athlete or prizefighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray, while many another has gone down to inglorious defeat simply for the lack cf iron. E. Sauer. M. D. NOTE Nuxated Iron, recommended above by Dr. Sauer is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one . w hich is. well known to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians everywhere. Unlike the older inorganic iron products, it is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy, in nearly all forms of indigestion, as well as for nervous, run-down conditions. The manufacturers have such great confidence in Nuxated Iron that they offer to forfeit $100.00 to anv charitable institution if they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron and increase their strength 200 per cent, or over in four weeks' time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance m ten days' time.
