"On the other hand, as to those

"The Republican party with the
President stands opposed to both
these extremes. We have chosen the
middle ground of sane, practical,

"Under this record of things done
with confidence we make our pledges
for future action.
"The banking and currency system

amended so as to prohibit unfair and
unreasonable combinations.
"The employers' liability law, pro

compensation, and in conformity with
the rule laid down by the supreme
court should be enacted.
"The question of the conservation
of natural resources is of absorbing
interest. The problem involves the
future welfare of all our people. To
neglect it means that private inter

and without due regard, of the fuel,
timber and water resources of the
country. The first steps to prevent
such a calamity have been taken.
Conservation is definitely included in
the general policies of the Republican
party.

a son of Ohio is the destined man.

capacity for administrative and execu- j

Bis long experienced and thorough:
knowledge of the nation's affairs;!
fairness, whole-souled , honesty and

for him the admiration, the trust and
the loyal support of our people.
Under his leadership, the Republican

spired by the spirit of those who
created it and gave their lives that
the Union should live, awake to the
needs of the present, definite and

ABSURD CHALLENGE.
LONDON, Mar. 3. The Sports
man prints a long article this morn
ing protesting against Tommy Burns
"absurd challenge" to fight British
boxers. It says that nobody disputes
Bis right to the title of champion of
the world, but such tactics are not
good "sport," and would only degrade
and place in peril the sport of boxing,
which with great difficulty has been
nursed into the position of legal pastime.
MILK SEVEN CENTS A QUART,
CHICAGO, Mar. 3. Indication of
a general break in the price of milk
appeared yesterday when one of the
largest dealers announced a cut of
one cent a quart.
The reduction of the price to seven
cents a quart brings it to the same
figure that ruled before the general
advance last fall At that time the
claim was made that the cost of feed
ing labor and other matters had ad
vanced so materially that it was im
possible to continue business with
out a higher rate.
Following the lead of the larger
companies there was a general ad
vance. It was charged that all deal
ers were in a combination and the
grand jury took up the matter, but
efforts to prove that a close agree
ment existed failed. s At the same
time much evidence was brought out
to show that the dealers did not meet
and joined forces to effect some
changes in the business for the gen
eral advantage of alL

the East side where the disease is
unusally prevalent now, the last re

789 cases, more than six times as

Robinson of the Post Graduate hos

on the tests of this treatment that
although little used in this country
it is not new by any means, having
been employed with gratifying re

Experiments with it here are stated
to have been almost uniformly suc

CHICAGO, Mar. 3.-Following the

Social in St Mary's Hall
The last social before Lent
held in St Mary's Hall last evening
and was attended by a large number
who have found these socials so en
joyable. After the cards and table
were cleared away the Columbia or
chestra played a waltz and dancing
was under way. The Columbia or
chestra has furnished music for the
last three or four of these socials and
that is sufficient guarantee that their
music is satisfactory. The boys do

ners were Miss Mary Carter,, first

Consolation prizes were won by Miss

conditions promulgated by the leaders
of "liberty thought" in America. ,
The condition of mind to which he
had come is shown by the fatt that
last week Averbiich planned to com
mit suicide with a young Jew with
whom he had discussed his theories
of the failure of life.
This young Jew, who is the one
mentioned above as "curly haired" is
thought by the police to have helped
plan the murder of the chief, His
name could not be, learned last night,
but every effort will be made to find
him to-day.
When the detectives entered the
house at 218 Washburn Avenue,
where Averbuch lived, they found
his sister, Olga, clearing away dishes
after a supper of cold meat and coffee.
The detectives unfolded a newspaper
containing a picture of the dead man
and laid it before her.
"Is that your brother?" she was
asked, and she replied, without any
display of emotion of concern, that it
was. . ' v':-V . "
The police showed her pair of
shoes and asked her if they belonged
to her brother. She said they did.
Then she was told that her, brother
was under arrest for a crime, but not
that he was dead.
"Have you got the other oner was
her first question after the shock had
worn laway.
"Wtjat other one," asked Detective
Randall "Oh, curly headed young
Jew,he was studying with" she said.
But she would not reveal the name of
the curly headed young Jew. She
refused to talk any more at that time.
From the landlord H. Pine, the de
tective learned that 'another young
woman lived in the three rear rooms.
Averbuch had reported that both were
his sisters. Olga, said she was his
sister but that the other was not.
The other young woman has not been
found.
Schuettler sent two detectives from
the city hall to relieve the raiding
party and on their arrival the place
was turned over to them with tnstruc
tions to remain in waiting' for the
second woman, who was described o
them as being a blond and younger
than Olga. This y6ung woman had
not appeared at the house up to three
o'clock this morning. From the
neighbors little could be learned of
Averbuch and the two women. Mrs,
Pine said they had come to her house
two months before and had rented the
three back rooms.

CHICAGO, Mar. 3. Lazarous
Averbuch, the young Russian ; Jew
who yesterday attempted to assassin
ate Chief of Police Shippy and whom
the chief killed, had, it is believed, a
partner in his work who thus far is
known as the "curly haired boy."
Two other men were arrested at mid
night but it is thought their connec
tion with the case is most remote.
Through a search of Averbuch s
library, which was made up largely
of books on revolutionary subjects
and lectures by prominent socialists
and anarchists the police found that
the terrible deed of the morning was
planned and carried out to the death
by a dreaming Russian boy whose
mind was filled for hatred of the gov
ernment in his country, the burden
of the peasants of the world and the
inflamatory ideas of remedying social
