LONGWORTH BOOM NIPPED 'Bom" Cox Surrenders at Discretion and Roosevelt's Son-in-Ittv, Unwilling Candidate Any wsf, Stops Gaining. COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 27. "With a candidate for Governor who was nomi nated by a combination of regulars and progressives and a platform pronounced Rood by the former element and 99 per cent good by the latter section of the party, the Ohio Republican convention broke up and went home today in a state of much contentment. The ticket In cludes: For Governor, Warren G. Harding, of Marion; for Lieutenant-Governor, Fran cis W. Tread way, of Cleveland; for Sec retary of State, Granville W. Mooney, of Austlnburg; for Attorney-General, U. Grant Denman, of Toledo; for Treasurer, Rudy A. Archer, of Belmont County; for Justices of Supreme Court, Williejn B. Crew, of McConnellsvllle, and Augustus N. Summers, of -Springfield. Nominee Is Popular. Warren G. Harding, the nominee for Governor, was at various times in the preliminary squabbles of the convention described as "everybody's second choice." He is the editor of a newspaper at ' Marlon, has been Lieutenant-Governor of the state and has been a tentative can didate for Governor and United States Senator. He is known in the state as an effective stump speaker. Until today, however, it had not ap peared a reasonable expectation that the convention could arrive at consideration . of . second choice without long and bit ter struggle. George B. Cox, of Cincinnati, had de clared he would stay with Judge Oren B. Brown, of Dayton, to the 30th 'ballot If necessary. The "progressives" were refusing to consider anybody but James R. Garfield, who was not, however, an announced candidate, and the men or dinarily Identified with the National Ad ministration side in state politics were supposed to be hopelessly divided be tween Secretary of State Carml S. Thompson and Mr. Harding. Candidates Abandon Fight. The finish of the fight was peculiar. James R. Garfield announced that his name would not be presented as a can didate. Simultaneously Thompson with drew, like Garfield, without any an nounced reason. Mr. Cox broke the news of Secretary Thompson's withdrawal on . the conven tion floor and the Brown men asserted they would win on the first ballot. How ever, the Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) delegation, of which Senator Burton was chairman, threw 76 votes to Representa tive Longworth. Judge Brown, who was second on the first ballot with 413 votes, dropped to 363 In the second and the Longworth vote increased from 93 to 164. Nearly all the progressives were voting for Harding. The 76 Cleveland delegates, who all voted for Longworth on the second and third rollcalls, were yelling and wildly cheering for the Cin cinnati man. On the third ballot. Dy the time the vote had reached Hamilton County, the Longworth candidacy was advancing in great strides., Bosb" Cox Surrenders. Chairman Cox surrendered with discre tion. He arose and cast the 91 Hamil ton County votes for Harding. All but 130 of the Brown supporters, some of whom had voted before Hamilton County was reached, went to Harding and the nomination was made by the good-margln of 551 votes over the nearest competitor. Ixngworth. who did not want to run for Governor. The nomination was made unanimous and the fight was over. The platform, adopteu with only a few scattering cries of "no."' contains the strong Indorsement of the President and of the purpose and tendency of the tariff law demanded by the regulars. It con tains the conservation plank and all but one of the state planks' wanted by the progressives. The omission is that of the demand for a law for recall of un faithful public servants. Tares Work Indorsed. The portions of the platform dealing with he Administration. Congress and with the tariff are In full as follows: "We. the Republicans of Ohio, in state convention assembled, commend in highest terms the splendid adminis tration of William H. Taft, are proud of the results he has already achieved in his 17 months In office, and pledge him ur hearty and united support in his further efforts as Chief Executive of the Nation. We renew our pledge of loyal support given him In 1908. and indorse him for renomlnatlon in 1912. "Among the many accomplishments of President Taft's Administration worthy of special praise are: "Prosecution and conviction of those Implicated In the sugar frauds against (Concluded on Page " First Emergency Equipment As signed to Billings, Mont.

Business sessions will be held at 10 A. M. and 2 P. M. as utuaL -n attempt was made to charter another steamer and a train, but both' attempts failed. After what was described on the floor of the convention hall by an Oregon dele gate as "the dirtiest piece of politics I have ever seen in my life," P. E. Snod grass, of Eugene, was knifed by the ad ministration machine for the office of head banker) of the Pacific Coast juris diction of the Woodmen of the World, and A- B. Sunderland, of Fresno, Cal., was elected In hio stead. During morning and afternoon sessions yesterday at Woodmen hall the fight raged long and furious. Bitterness on the part of the majority of the Oregon delegation marked the early session, when it was seen that Snodgra was defeated, but during the afternoon the fight was directed again Representative W.

I PLATFORM ATRD Jf rJ ' Joker's Plot Is X"ot Revealed Until "Bride's-' Brother Investigates. Real - Wedding Follows. It remained for a practical joker to bring about the culmination of w-hat is considered one of the strangest ro mances on record in Portland's history. One- week ago yesterday, W. H. Doo llttle. a. wealthy stockman, and Miss Bessie Blaney, both of Ontario, Or.,' met by chance In Portland. Simultaneous with their presence in the city was the arrival of P. H. De Armand, also a resident of the Eastern Oregon town. Knowing that a warm friendship had existed between his two friends for some time past,-Mr.- De Armand devised a scheme to cheat Cupid of the joys of further, delay. He arranged to have the principals, without knowledge of his plans, participate in a mock mar riage ceremony. A third person was summoned to play the role of officiating minister and on Wednesday evening, July 19, In the parlors of the Oregon Hotel, it is said, tl - ceremony making Mr. Doolittle and Miss Blaney husband and wife was to all intents and pur poses duly solemnized. Documents pur porting to be the license and marriage certificate had been prepared before hand by the thoughtful De Armand and were flashed at the opportune moment, so that not even the bevy of chamber maids present as guests- suspected any-'' thing. The would-be benedict had given no thought to such trifling, matters as procuring legal permission to join in wedlock the object of his love or en gaging the proper person to officiate, and of course the petite and demure bride-elect took It for granted that that part of the programme had been duly attended to. Therefore, nothing was said, and later in the day Mr. Doolittle registered at the Oregon Ho tel for himself and wife. The couple were assigned to room 328. A brother of Miss Blaney appeared in the city on Tuesday. His suspicions having been aroused in the meantime. Mr. Blaney at once started an investi gation and discovered that the pair had not been married in accordance with legal procedure, whereupon he asserted his brotherly demands in the matter and saw to it that the little details attendant upon a ceremony of that kind were properly looked after. Forthwith, i a license was issued to W. H. Doolittle and Miss Blaney. Mr. Doolittle gave his age as 41 and the young woman admitted that she was 23 years old. The ceremony was performed again, this, time by a legally appointed officer, with Mr. De Armand and Mr. Blaney present as witnesses. The couple left on the O. R. & N. train Tuesday, night for 'Ontario, where they will reside. THIRD TICKET UNDER WAY Pennsylvania Independents Gather for Convention Today. PHILADELPHIA, July 27.

Guthrie, of Pitts burg (Democrat) ; D. Clarence Gibbons, of Philadelphia (Independent Republi can), and Rudolph Blankenburg Phil- j adelphia (Independent Republican). Mad Dog Bites Add to Dread of Day. FIVE ARE DEAD, OTHERS DYING Burning Weather Exists From Atlantic to Rockies. NO RELIEF IS PROMISED Health Officers and Charitable Or ganizations Work to Save Lives of Infants Rabid Dogs Bite Three. CHICAGO, July 27. (Special.) Not withstanding cool weather in Chicago because of a stiff breeze off the lake, five persons died today, many were pro.strated, of whom four will prob ably die, and three were bitten by rabid dogs. All the country from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic seaboard swelters today under a veritable blan ket of heat and many cases of suffering are reported from various cities. Weather forecasters say there is no relief In sight and that the tempera ture will be higher tomorrow. In some sections of the country special services were held in the churches, at which prayers were offered for rain and cooler weather. Today's -dead in Chicago are Leo Kamickl, Carl Greuger, Patrick Leon ard, Henry Achulig, Allen Bertrand. Rain Turns to Steam. The focus of the heat wave seems to be slowly moving east, although it has been centered two days in Kansas and Oklahoma. Thermometers In - Kansas today registered 100 and higher. South ern cities report unusual heat, accom panied byfitful showers which are quickly reduced to " steam, making breathing difficult and painful. In Chicago the great fight by health officers and charity organizations Is centered in saving the thousands ' of babies, who suffer more from improper care than from the torridity. Agents of all tha organizations are working night and day In the Ghetto and other congested districts warning parents about overfeeding and neglecting to bathe their children and keep their house clean. Dogs Ordered Muzzled. In these districts the population is chiefly sleeping on fire escapes and doorways and in any open spot where a breath of air may be obtained. Ex-, tra precautions are -being taken to muzzle dogs and to slay all without licenses, because of the large number of them going mad because of the heat. At the bathing beaches hundreds stood patiently in line waiting for suits. All the beaches kept. open all night, to give exhausted humanity an opportunity to cool off in preparation for tomorrow's siege. Hall Destroys Crops.

Dentist's Real Wife, Posing as Sis ter, Spends Honeymoon In House With Intended Victim. XEW. YORK, July 27. Dr. Harry B. Keeler, the dentist who was arrested In Detroit with his wife on charges of having inveigled ' Mrs. Wllhelmin Lynch into marrying him and giving him $13,500, the police say. had the habit of contracting marriages and then separating the victims from their cash and disappearing. Keele.- always Introduced his wife as his "sister." Today's .callers at the Adajns-stieet Court accounted for three more alleged marriages .by Keeler, and a bigamy In dictment is to be prepared. Mrs. Helen Vosburg, of Brooklyn, pointed out Keeler as the man who had married her in 1900 and had lived at her house, .with "Sister Emma." for three weeks, with a total loss to Mrs. Vosburg of $540 in cash. Mrs. Dora Schoelles. of Seacliffe. thought he was the man who married her in 190S. Mrs. Schoell's nephew and niece identified Keeler positively. Last came a minister. Rev. Frederick Holter. of St. Mark's Lutheran ' Church, Flatbush, knew Keeler for the man he married under the name of Wheeler to a girl named "Hettly" in Jersey City in 1903. with a loss to Hettly of JS00. Wheat jumps half cent Xew Price Recorded at Walla Walla Owing to Demand. WALLA WALLA. Wash., July 27. (Special.) Recent dispatches carrying the report of the heavy foreign de mand' for coast wheat and of the French calls for . Walla Walla grain tended today to strengthen the wheat market, and a new high water mark for' new crop wheat was set. Kerr, Gifford & Co., exporters, buying 3500 bushels at 904 cents, a half cent bet ter than yesterday. Later in the day as, high as 91 cents and 93 cents was offered, but with no fiarmers willing to sell. There is no local confirmation of the French demand for Walla Walla wheat, but the' report had a strengthening tendency, and tho fact that exporters are buying here was a further Indica tion. Farmers are unwilling to part with theirs grain even at this high fig ure, and it seems likely that there will be a repetition of last year's holding for a better price. CASH GONE BEYOND RECALL Wider Believed- to Have Bank's Au thority to Assign Stock. NEW TORK July 27. The "gentle man's agreement" between the Russo Chinese Bank and its missing cashier, Erwln Wider, who is accused of em bezzling $600,000 worth of stocks and bonds, expired today, when the District Attorney's office was requested to take action and a private detective agency was put on the case. The bank Is now pretty well con vinced that all the huge sum stolen has vanished beyond recovery. A story that Wider had a power of at torney from the bank finds full cred ence in Wall street, and it was also asserted today that many of tho cer tificates he disposed of were still in blank when they vanished. . If this can be proved, it will make the task of recovery from brokers ad ditionally difficult. Thus far there is nothing to indicate that any of the certificates were filled in with forged signatures.. No suits against broker age houses have been begun. INDEX OF TODAY'S NEWS The Weather.

ATTORNEYS ARE ABUSIVE Counsel for Accused Head or Normal School Ridicules Ada Clark and Her Friend, Nona T.lndlcy. Interest in Case Is Keen. CHICO; Cal.. "July 27. (Special.) Dr. Charles Van Liew, president of the State Normal School, charged with hugging Miss Ada Clark, with having a generally bad reputation for morality and with, drinking to such an extent that he had. become a discredit upon the school, was exonerated this evening by the trustees sitting as a court by a vote of 3 to 2. State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion Hyatt was the only trustee who voted to sustain the charges of Ada Clark. Florence J. O'Brien, who voted against exonerating Dr. Van Liew, says she eliminated Miss Clark's story, but believed it was shown Van Llew's repu tation was bad and that he drank freely. Vote Follows Discussion. Three trustees, E. A. Warren, Clifford C. Cogglns, the chairman, and John F. Campbell, voted unconditionally for the. exoneration of Dr. Van Liew. The trus tees, after the case had been submitted td them, retired into executive session. Only one vote was taken after discus sion of about half an hour. This closed five days of investigation, during which dozens of witnesses were called by the state to sustain the charges made by Governor Gillett, and after 60 . persons had testified in behalf of Dr, Van Liew. Today the president's office, in which the hearing has been held, was crowded. Women occupied every seat, while men crowded in the hallways and even perched on the normal school porch, where they could hear indistinctly the arguments of Attorneys Arthur M. Sey mour and Archibald Yell, for the defense, and Attorney-General Webb, who repre sented the state. i Decision Rendered- In Secret. At the close of Attorney-General Webb's argument, a logical summing upr of the facts in the case. State Superin tendent of Public Instruction Hyatt asked that as all the deliberations of the) board during this inquiry had been publia the consideration of the charge be publia also. E. A. Warren seconded the motion, and it was carried by a vote of Campbelf. Warren and Hyatt against Cogglns and O'Brien. . Seeing that there had been a division, Campbell changed his vote and by voting no, forced the board into hold ing an executive session in the discus sion of the charges. "The thing that is largest in my mind." said Mr. Hyatt, the one member of the) board who thoroughly believed the story of Ada Clark and Nona Lindley, "is tha girl's story. I saw nothing to account for a 16-year-old girl subjecting herself to such ordeals as Miss Clark has gone through at these various inquries unless the story she told were true. Hyatt Believes Girls. "I believe the two girls told the truth. To my mind the whole thing centered about the story of Miss Clark. The girls' statement and all I have heard in relation to it has left me entirely con vinced it was true. Believing that tha story Is true, I could not vote for an exoneration of Dr. Van Liew. It ap peared to me that the reputation charge was not fully sustained. I think Professor Miller a fine teacher and an honorable man." Trustee Florence J. O'Brien said: "It is not to the best interests of the schol that these charges against Dr. Von Liew should be dismissed. I based my vote against exonerating him only upon one of the terms, that involving his general reputation for morality. I en tirely eliminated from consideration the story of Ada Clark. I am not in a po sition to say whether or not her state ment is true. I merely did not consider it in making up my mind to vote against the charges." Man's Word Preferred to Girl's. Chairman Coggins said: "The stories that the minds of this board had been made up beforehand are false. 1 can not believe the story of Miss Clark and Miss Lindley as against the denial of Dr. Van Liew. Professor Miller will ba retained, for the present at least." Trustee Campbell said: "I have been on the board about five years, and have never heard anything derogatory to Dr. Van Liew. The testimony has not sus tained the charges against him. and I could not take the word of Ada Clarlc against that of the man." Trustee Warren said: "I did not be lieve the charges were sustained. I could not believe the girl's story. . It looked unreasonable. I thought it pe culiar that Dr. Van Liew should be fa miliar with this particular girl, when with nearly 300 other girls attending the school during the 11 years that Dr. Van Liew has been here, nothing of the kind has ever happened before.
