This morn ing, after half a dozen wltneaaea had been called by both aides to contradict portions ,of the others' testimony, At torney John M. Freeman said; “That Is all." _ , Every one seemed relieved with the possible exception of Mrs. Augustus Hartje, the beautiful libellant, who was In excellent spirits this morning. "Are you glad It's all over7" she was asked. Turning with a smile that was almost a laugh she said: “I don't know. "I—■■ •'Here, you must not talk," quickly put In Mrs. Alex Slocum, the woman who had been Mrs. Hartje's constant companion since the first day of the trial.

The trio went to a cor ner of the room and had a long whis pered conversation. "I can't and won't say what the con ference was about," 'replied Hartje's brother when questioned.

Ball and John Geyer, who had testified this morning that Ed Hartje had told them on April 12 that he had letters written by Mrs. Hartje to other men. Ed Hartje on the stand this morning denied making this state ment to the reporters. Blonde Tells on-Hartjf.

Dos Moines, Iowa, Aug. 2.—The Iowa state' Republican convention renomi nated for governor of Iowa Governor A. B. Cummins, In a turbulent but regu larly conducted gathering. Governor Cummins and hla faction of the party were in absolute control. A* a result, not only Cummins, but the "progress- candidate for lieutenant Rover- I nor, Warren Gant, waa nominated. In spite of the fight made against the ' governor, the roll call resulted; Cummins, 921; O. D. Perkins, 002; Captain Rathbun, 104. Gant received within 14 votes of the number given Governor Cummins. It waa chiefly through the offices of Senator Dolllver, the “standi pat" lead er, that the convention agreed to con cede to Governor Cummins' control of ths convention. Cummins’ advocacy of the "Iowa Idea" was Indonsd by the wording of the tariff plank, but It was made so modente that the stand-patten decid ed to make no objection to lb This paragnph declared for a tariff "op posed alike to foreign control and do mestic monopoly," And dedans con gress should be made from time to flme to odjast Irregularities and meet changing conditions. The nsotuttons also declared for a state-wide primary law, applicable to all state offlcen and United State* ssnaton, for the aboli tion of the pass and prohibition of campaign contributions by corpora- tlons.

Sledenburg, not brought be fore the committee to tell what he knew regarding Richard Cheatham's trades In the name of "Mike Jones," to corroborate the evldendo of Hol land Curran? The committee accepted Mr. Curran's remark that Mr. Sled enburg would not appear as final. .
