If I had not something of Importance

New York, ' April 10. Delegates

vention, ' which will doubtless be one
of the most Important gatherings In
the history of the party In the Empire

will go far toward determining how
New York's vote will be cast In the
coming presidential election, and. In
consequence, whether the country will
have a republican or democratic pres
ident. New York republican leaders
admit that there is little likelihood of
such a walk-over for the party as that
of four years ago. In declaring for
Hughes as the standard-bearer, New
York republicans believe they can go
before the national convention and
assert: "Nominate our candidate and
we will guarantee his election." It Is
this spirit that animates the delegates
to tomorrow's state convention, and
It Is now settled beyond -doubt that
New York s delegates will present a
united front at Chicago In behalf ot
Governor Hughes.

PoKtmaxter Grant of Bend Confesses
He Is Short $3200.
Prlnevtlle, April 7. Postmaster Al
fred R. Grant , of Bend has been re
moved by Postal Inspector R. J. Stock
myer of the Spokane division, and his
bondsmen are In charge of the postof
t,ce- v.
It became apparent to the depart
ment some time ago that there was
ome Irregularity In the manner In
which money order funds were being
transmitted to the depository at Port
'and and an investigation was made
it once.
After being questioned Postmaster
Grant made a confession to the posts:
Inspector and Mr. Hunter, one of hit
bondsmen, which Is said to have been
n effect as follows:
Grant had practiced Irregularities
in handling the funds and had misap
propriated sums at various times for
over two years. Whenever a postal
inspector was In the vicinity a fake
duplicate of remittance letter was
made to cover the amount and placed
with other papers in the cash box,
which was counted as cash when the
office was checked up by the Inspector.
Thus Inspectors were evaded during a
period of two years. He said further
'.hat some amounts had been borrow
ed from and repaid to the money or
Jer funds. . ' 1
The office was short about 13200.
Of this 12600 had been taken since the
'Irst of the current year. What had
been done with the funds Orant would
not state, further than that they had
been appropriated to his own use.
"I will repay It some day," he said,
but that was all.

EARLY . ADJOURNMENT.
Representative Thinks May SO is
Time for Adjournment.
Washington, D. C, April 10. Rep
resentative Mann of Illinois, who Is
close In the confidence of Speaker
Cannon, stated today that ha expects
to see congress adjourn about May
20, provided a rule la brought In to
expedite the disposition of bills which
lave been to conference. He pointed
jut that the motion to suspend the
ules and place the Indian approprla
'Inn bill on Immediate passage had
failed and that If the minority took
advantage of their rights they could
force the house to spend two months
considering senate amendments to
this bill alone. '
All republican leaders realize that
heir fences need attending to, and
they are anxious to get away so more
emergency rules can be expected,
Race Reaches) V a Ides.
Valdes, Alaska, April 10. The
Eugene, Ore., April 7. (Special.)
An attempt Is being made by the ene
mies of the University of Oregon to
create prejudice against the appropri
ation bill through misrepresentation.
They claim that the university hires
a football coach at $1500 for a little
more than two months' "instruction."
As a matter of. fact, the university has
nothing to do with the hiring of a
coach, other than to see that he Is the
-right kind of a man. Neither have
the students ever paid $1500 for a
coach, and further, the coach's salary
Is paid entirely from the gate receipts
of such games as the ones with the
Oregon Agricultural college and Mult
nomah. They say that the Increase In
the appropriation Is 300 per 'cent,
when they know that the university
has received $78,600 for the past two
years, and the Increase can only be
59 per cent. Even If the one Item of
$47,500 of the old appropriation bill
were taken, the Increase would be
only a little over half of what they
claim. They say also that the univer
sity has shown bad faith In pushing
this bill by going to the courts on
technicalities. As a matter of record,
the enemies of the university were the!
first to appeal to the courts, when the
Secretary of state refused to file their
petitions, and later carried the case
to the supreme court. The friends of

Harrlsburg, Pa., April 10. The first
real test of Pennsylvania's new pri
mary system will take place tomor
row, when the republican, democratic,
socialist, prohibition and city parties
will nominate candidates for congress,
the state senate, house of representa
tives and judges throughout the state.
Under the new primary law of Penn
sylvania, district conventions are done
away with and the candidates of all
parties will be selected at the pri
maries, at which from present Indica
tions, mors voters will participate
than at any previous election. The
democracy will batle over the question
of whether the national delegates will
go to Denver unlnstructed. The Bry

has announced candidates for national
and state delegates against the regular
adherents. '

ot every citizen to so live and act that his fel
