HILL SUCCEEDS HITCHCOCK Former Governor of Maine Is Elected Committee Chairman Without Opposition. Washington, Dec. 12.—With Chicago and Denver tho only cities competing (nr the 1913 convention, tho Republican national committee today awarded It to the Illinois city. Denver received only idx votes. Tuesday, Juno 18, Is tho day let (or the holding of tho convention. John F. Hill, cx-govcrnor of Maine, was eleoted chairman of the national committee to succeed Frank Hitchcock, now postmaster general, Tho national commltteo met at noon to choose the' city In which tho conven tion of 1912 will bo held and Issue tho call for that convention. Before tho main commltteo met tho executive com mltteo of the organization held a ses sion and wont over the matters that should bo presented for consideration. After Mr. Hitchcock's resignation was read and accepted Mr. Hill-was nomi nated by Committeeman Murphy, of Xew Jersey. Ho was chosen unani mously. After tho election of chairman the committee appointed Senator Borah, of Idaho; Victor Rosewater, of Nebraska; William Ward, of New York; John G. Capers, South Carolina, and F. O. Lowden as a suh-commlttee on the call (or tho 1912 convention. On a commltteo to devise rules and regulations for primaries In tho Dis trict of Columbia Committeemen Jack- son. Maryland: Martin, Virginia, and Beebe, District of Columbia, were named. When former Senator Scott pro posed the announcement of tho com- • n arrangements. Senator Borah Interposed objections as to tho method of choosing them, but later withdrew his opposition. Colonel Harry 'New, of Indiana, heads the committee on arrangements for the next Republican national convention. The Southern states.were given repre sentation in the appointment of Com* mltteeman Duncan, of North Carolina. Other members of the commltteo are Mulvane, Kansas: Williams, Oregon; Rnsewator, Nebraska: Vorys, Ohio, and firmer Governor Hill, of Maine. Just before going Into the committee meeting; Committeeman Ward, of New. Tork, who was not present at the white house dinner last night and who. It Is Mid, remained away cn account of dls- arreement with Mr. Taft, scoffed at thu Idea that ho was anything but a stand patter and refused in any way to dls- eusss tlio possibility of any one being the Republican nominee except Mr. Taft. Secretary of tho Committee "William Hayward today expressed the belief •ini no Instructions should ho Issued to ntato committees to name tholr choice for tho presidential nominees before going to tho national conven tion. I don't believe,” ho said, "that tho notional committee should go on record - favoring tho instructions of nat'on.il committeemen to tho convention as to the choice for presidential nomlncos, because Walter Brown, of Ohio, has a state fight on his hands In this re spect, or because tho LaFolIetta cam paign managers hope to have all tho committeemen named by presidential primary. Primaries of this nature will be held In tho states In which such provision Is made by law, and I do not believe the national Republican com mittee should toko a hand In Inaugu rating the new system, which - Is fa vored by a few who hopo to further their own ends by each a method.” Chicago won the national convention essily. St. Louis withdrawing before tho balloting started and Denver's vote was o scattered as not to bo" appreciable u all.

''VIRGINIA O'HANLON. ‘‘115 West NInety-flfth-st.” Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They, havo been affected by tho skepticism of a skeptical ago. They do not believe except thoy see. They think that nothing can bo which Is not comprehensible by their minds. AH minds, Virginia; whether they be men's pr children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man Is a mere Insect, an ant In his intellect, as compared with the boundless world .about him, as measured by tho Intelligence capa ble of grasping tho whole of truth and knowledge. • Yds, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, Ho exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life Its highest beauty and Joy. Alas! How dreary would bo tho world If there were no Santa Claus? It would be' as dreary as if there -were no Virginias. Thera would be no chlld-Iiko faith then, no poetry, no romanco to make tolerable this existence. Wo should have no enjoyment, except In sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood Alls the world would he extinguished. - Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe In fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch In all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not seo Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that Is no sign that there Is no Santa Claus. Tho most real things In the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies danc ing on tho lawn? * Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all tho wonders there are unseen and un seeable in the world. You may tear apart tho baby’s rattle and seo what makes the noise In side, but there is a veil covering the unseen world, which not tho strongest man, nor even tho united strength of all tho strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romanco can push aside that curtain and view and picture tho supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, In all this world there Is nothing else real and abld- 1 lng. No Santa Clausl Thank God! Ho lives and He lives forever, A thou sand years from now, Virginia—nay, ton times ten thousand years from now—He will continue to make glad tho heart of childhood.

Mayor Winn has proposed an ordinance creating a standing committee on char< tor amendments to he appointed by him self, and council has practically rejected the ordinance even before it is introduced in council.

Councilman Udine Chamber* was next appealed to of the resolution and that they repil that they were opposed.to it.

Railroad detectives are hunt ing the bandits, and bloodhounds, brought hero from Beaufort, have been placed on their trail. , Tho' bandits were thwarted In their plan to mako a big haul from tho ex press car by the heavy traffic neces sitating sending tho train In two'sec tions, ond placing the express cars In tho section that followed tho one held up. Among the passengers were G, S. Blount. Atlanta: W. A. Gilmore, su perintendent of bridges on; the Coast Line, and A. R. Williams, Savannah. The train held up was bound from Florida to New York. Several sacks of registered mall were among tho booty taken by the bandits who had been rid ing on tho train ns passengers. Suddenly drawing revolvers, they seized command of the train and forced tho engineer to stop. Tho conductor and all of the trainmen were covered with revolvers and told thoy would be shot at the slightest sign of resistance. All of the passengers In sight were ter. rorlzed In like manner. D.' H. Roy, night operator In a little station within sight of the hold-up, said today that the train was all right when It passed him, and that he sig nalled It to go ahead.

The operator ad vised tho crew of that section to halt there and Investigate the trouble that section- umber one was undoubtedly in. Arriving there tho second train crew- found a scene of wild confusion. The robbers had forced the train crew to run tho mall car a short distance from the rest of the train. A special train bringing Coast Lino officials and detectives to tho scene of the hold-up from Savannah crashed Into a freight train on the Southern railway tracks. .The negro fireman was badly hurt, and the train wns delayed several hours.

FIVE INARMED FROM BRYCEVILLE MINE Government Inspectors Are Now Trying to Save Three More Miners. Records and Correspondence of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers Are Tendered. ACT WAS VOLUNTARY ONE No Promise of Immunity to Men Suspected in Dynamite Plot Is Asked in Return. Briceville, Tenn., Deo. 12.—With five found, rescuer* were spurred to new hope when additional ingnn of life were discovered In the Cros* Mountain mine at 11 o'clock today. On the walls of tho main shaft were found Inscribed these word,: •'We have gone to 23." Immediately tho rescue squads re doubled their effort* to reach crow sec tion No. 23 of the mine. It 1* believed several of the blast victim* will be found there. The five who were miraculously car tied up from death told of three men remaining alive. The five men saved had been prison era In the workings since Saturday morning, when an explosion entombed more than 130 men. Hope for .them had been abandoned, when they were found behind a brattice they had erect ed to protect themselves from noxious gases. Rescue parties who risked their lives time after time today were as often driven back by the deadly fire damp. Finally, however, they forced their way Into the cross drifts and there took up the search for living comrades of the five men who were rescued last night. President Stephenson today reiterat ed his belief that many more of the miner* are still alive. “We are going to save many more,” he said. Thus far 32 bodies havo been taken from the mine and today the first fu nerals were held In the little .mining town where mourning for the dead mingled with rejoicing for the men who had been brought back from death. The five men rescued are: William Henderson, ago 56' Milton Henderson, his son, age 22: Irwin Smith, age 85; Arthur Scott, age 30; Theodore Irish, age 30. Two miners who had been with the . arty rescued last night, stricken mad, probably from fear inspired by their plight, are dashing wildly In and out of channels In the far recesses of the mine. All night long men of the rescue squads have been chasing the maniacs, but as soon a* would-be rescuers get close on their trail the mad men dash away, screaming wildly. First they scurry like rats down the main entry, then scamper away Into black recesses of the mine at the approach of men n the outside. Indianapolis, lnd„ Dec. 12.—The rec ords and copies of correspondence of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers havo been voluntarily supplied to tho Federal authorities for the grand Jury Investi gation of the alleged dynamiting con spiracy. "No promises of Immunity to men suspected of complicity 111 til" cljllii- mltlng conspiracy havo been made by tho government," said Charles W. Mil ler, tho district attorney, “But, of course, we will accept evidence from any direction to bo presented to tho grand Jury when It resumes Its ses sions next Thursday.” Altho District Attorney Charles W. Miller will neither affirm nor deny the report. It was learned Tuesday morning that 35 or 40 more witnesses have been subpenned to appear before the grand Jury In the Federal investigation of the McNamara case, which opens In In- dlanoplls Thursday morning. This new crowd of witnesses Is an addition to thu 30 to 35 said already to have been subpenaed. The new wit nesses all are residents of the stnto of Indiana. They are said to be labor men for the most part, altho the list Includes tho number of persons who are said Innocently to havo had knowledge of the purchase of dynamite and other explosives by tho McNamaras which bore no significance until tho case be came public. The rumor has gained currency in official circles In the last day or two that practically 3,000 labor men In the United States had cognizance of the dynamiting plots. Mr. Miller, when asked to authenticate this report Tues day morning, replied: "Well, there were some who know of the dynamiting plots." Tho Information came from a govern, ment official In Indianapolis Tuesday that In all probability Ortle McMnnlgal will not be brought to Indlananolls to testify in tha grand Jury Investigation here. "What’s the use of bringing McMan Igal here to testify?" aakod the offl clal. "The government hns all the in formation that McMonigal Is able to give, and what dHfurenco tloes It make whether ho gave It, to government offl dais In California or In Indiana?” That Ortle E. McMantgal's confes sion and his subsequent further state ment will bo the basis of the McNamara Federal Investigation by tho grand Jury which begins In Indianapolis Thursday morning, was the authoritative Infor mation obtained today. McMantgal's confession and Inde pendent statements have been the hauls of all preparation for the Investigation. McMantgal's assertion* have been In vestigated ond. It Is said, found by do- tectlve* and government agents to be authentic. McMantgal's confession Implicates six prominent labor officials In various cities In the United State*, excluslvo of the McNamara*. McManlgal telle, of how ho would receive nn assignment from J. J. McNamara or a certain oth er Iron workers official to "do a Job' a certain pity.

A number of minor labor offi cials also are named by McManlgal. representative of thd .

The com mittee adopted a presidential primary resolution proposed by P. A. Stovall. Criticism of the state committee for not-calling a state convention to de clare the nominee of last Thursday’s gubernatorial primary and for other acts on the committee’s part received a severe rebuke in the adoption of res olutions proposed by Reuben K. Arnold. Joseph M. Brown was formally de clared the nominee for governor by a unit vote of 196 against 110 for J. Pope Brown, and 60 for Judge R. B. Russell. Hal M.‘ Stanley was declared the nomi- for commissioner of commerce and labor. Both will be elected in the un cial election called for January 10. L.

Mr. * Stovall proposed .the presidential primary for June 5, and Mr. Nell for.Juno 12. Objection was made by Howiln- Phini/y, of Augusta, to fixing any dale before the national committee had fixed a time and plat** for the national convention. He argued that June 12 won Just ns much too lfu»* as January 10 would be too sdon for a presidential primary. Mr. Arnold con sidered It best to fix the date Juno 5, iosed by Mr. Stovall, so as not t«» crowd the tfme too much. Mr. Neil Insisted on June 12. ns that would ho five days Rfter the regular registration for county primaries would close. Senator Harris and Walter P. An drews were, by vote of the committee, tendered the privilege of the floor, neither being a committeeman. Mr. Harris urged that If the people vote for coroner and every other office they should vote for president also. He said he thought It would even be better t > elect the delegates to the national con vention In the primary rather than leave that function to a state conven tion following the primary. Fo r Woodrow Wilson. Mr. Harris said he had become Inter ested In this matter because of the fact that Woodrow Wilson, a former Geor gian. was a prospective presidential nominee. Mr. Andrews emphasized what Mr. Harris had said of Woodrow Wilson being a Georgian. He said It had been 68 years since a Southern man bad been elected president. Now*, tho, .he said, the opportunity was at hand to vote for a Southern man, a Georgian, and one of the nation’s most scholarly gentlemen. Dr. J. G.
