In a largely attended, enthualaatlc and intensely Interesting convention this arternoon nominated a complete ! Irglslative and county ticket to op IHira the nominees of tha democratic party at the polls In November. Hon. James J. BrltV was made permanent chHlrmnn of the convention and he presided with dignity and falrneaa. While In Instances there -was consider able, rivalry there was no bitterness. The rowdyism and disorder and bitter nfiw that characterised tha recent democratic convention here and other democratic conventions that have been held over North Carolina during the paat few months were conspicu ous by their absence. It waa an or derly and dignified convention over which Mr. Brltt prealded this after noon; a convention that while spirited tnd enthusiastic waa withal well-be-haved. In fact, the convention waa a relief from., those political gathering that have heretofore been neia. The republicans of Buncombe coun- ty appeared in earnest this afternoon In naming a ticket They appeared to be fighting In a common causa and lood humor and party Interest pre vailed. In the legislative ticket nominated It la contended by the members of tha party, they have men who are the equal If not the superior of the democrat on tha atump. Thomas W. Wakefield, familiarly knovti a "Dick" Wakefield, la a railroad man well known In thla county. He la splendid "ebator and a hale fellow well met. i " C. r. Boone, one of the nominees for the legislature. Is well known In the county and the district, He was presidential elector In 100 for the late President McKlnley and carried the district by more than S.000 major ity. Ouy Weaver, who has also been Plnced on the legislative ticket l well known not only In Aahevllle but throughout Buncombe county. He Is north Buncombe boy. Warn raised on the farm and has practiced law In Ashevllle for several years. He Is con nected with the Weaver family of north Runcombe. The republican convention thla af ternoon did one thing that no other Political organisation In this section has done this year. It recognised tho labor union. Among the canilHates niMttliuUed are labor union men In cluding Frank Llndaey for aherlff and F. Barrett for countv auditor. Mr. Wakefield Is a member of the order of Railway Conductors while Mr. Hoone is also In close touch and aym pathy with the labor union men.

Senator Wlnthrop Murray Crane of Massachu setts, 'Who occupies in, the senate a position similar to that of the repub lican, "whip" In, the bouse of, repre sentatives,' waa summoned to 'Beverly yewterday, by: Proeldent Tart for a ,(ong conference. , -. ' ' ' '. Fjenator Crane Is perhaps the closest political adviser .the president ; has) He waa asked by the president to make a trtp though the West in the near future. Going a far as Seattle, Wash., he will, inquire into political conditions in the states through which he travels. The 'president la tald to desire this Informatioh flrst hand. He has the' utmost confidence in .Senator Crane's political sas-acitv. During the last session of congress Mr. Taft r.elied absolutely upon Senator Crane and offlcially made hlmr the means of communicating the admlnis- tratlon's views to the- senate.-' In se lecting an emissary to the middle and far west the president naturally turn- ally turned to Senator Crane. Yesterday's' action Is regarded as one -of the most important politically mat. Mr, Taft has , ever made. The senator visit was surrounded! with the greatest secrecy. The report that Senator Crane Is to include Seattle in his Journeying, If he accepts the commission given him by the presi dent brought, out the flat denial that Mr.. Crane's visit to the president had anything to do with the Balllnger- Plnchot controversy, It Js said with authority that thei 'president never has considered and never will consider aaking Secretary Balllnger to retire from the cabinet. : Another significant', move made ; bv the president was the announcement that Mr.. Taft had cancelled all of the engagements tentatively and oth erwlse that he made-ln the different parts of the country for this fall. 1m portant affairs of administration. It was said, - would keep the president busily engaged at Beverly and Wash lngton until November. , ,, t In November1, It was announced, ti- TBldwit.4lJcjbttfcK,tliieeMuj. trip to the Isthmus ot Panama to ob serve the, progress of the work on the big canal. . Whether the cancellation of the numerous engagements for the fall means a reversal of. the president's travel policy or not could not be learned. Political consideration may have had a great deal to do with the president's decision. The very great number of Import ant legislative acta of the present con gress have Imposed upon him add I tionai executive amies requiring u great deal of Investigation and admin istrative supervision of work. The president said yesterday that he regards the Panama canal as one of the very greatest executive respond. bilitles of his administration. He holds that a rapid and efficient devel opment and a prompt completion of this great enterprise to be of ths highest national Importance. Experi ence, Mr. Taft says, has shown that nothing stimulates the work so much as a visit by the president PELLAGRA IN WASHINGTON; PROBABLY AN ISOLATED CASE Tills Is Farthest North for the Disease Miss MoiiHen, tlie latieut lle - Ileved to Be Out of Danger.

Dr. Lindsay is a close friend of both Col- nel Roosevelt and Mr. Pinchot, In jommon with other friends he has been working quietly on the Pinchot 'joom for some time and first sug jested to Mr. Pinchot himself the possibility that he might run. . No definite answer, he said, ,was re turned. . Colonel Roosevelt was told yester day that In the opinion of Mr. Pin- chot's friends he could draw support from the same sources which had given power to Governor Hughes in past campaigns.

PLANS CAREFULLY LAID TO PREVENT MAN'S SUICIDE Crippen Will be Carefully Watched by Ship's Officers, and Arrested as Soon as Dew Identifies ' Him. ' Fathers Point Quebec, July 30. Chief Inspector Dew of Scotland Yard who arrived yesterday to await the arrival of the steamship Montrose, which is suposed to have aboard Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen, accompanied by his typist, Etlfcl Clara Le Neve, . who are sought in connection with . the disappearance of Crippen's wife, -. Belle Elmore, the American actress, declared this morning that he is abso lutely certain that the, persons aboard the Montrose are Crippen and the Le Neve woman. Mr. Dew said: "The s Laureutic was In - touch with the Montrose on my way over and I re ceived messages from Captain Ken- ' dall leaving no room to doubt the identity of the suspects. Crippen and the woman w ll be greatly surprised ' when I step aboard the Montrose and confront them. My surprise will be just as great if the suspects are not they." ' H " The following wireless message- from the steamer Montrose to the As sociated Press was received this morn ing: , "July 30th, 7 a. m. The Montrose Is now abeam Heath Point Anticosti . island. Regarding your wireless, noth- ing nf Importance has happened yet. Stopped In dense fog off Belle Island. . Suspects more retiring than ever. No arrests have been made and they are still unsuspicious of observation, 4-Weather ts.right and clear - "Lew Jones, Marconi operator." Final Plan Arc Laid. Inspector Dew and the Canadian de tectives have mapped out their final plan. Here is the proceedirre de cided upon. When the Montro li&xvea to off here Dew, the Canadian otfioers, a pilot and the newspaper men will go out to meet her. It Is believed If Crip pen Is suspicious he will know that but one man, the pilot should board the Montrose. Accordingly the steam- . er"s officers will watch' the suspect every moment and avoid the possi bility of nn attempt at suicide when, he realizes his position. Mr. Dew probably will be first to go aboard the Montrose. Dew will be followed by Chief McCarthy and De tectives Denis and Gauvreau. One of the three latter will make the arrest when Dew points out his man. Scotland Yard fears Dr. Crippen will , attempt suicide and Inspector Dew will try to take him by surprise. "If Crippen Is aboard the Montrose, as we firmly believe, said the English inspector, "we expect to have him Identiiied and In irons within ten min utes after we go sboard. My superiors fear that when Crip pen is arrested he will try to commit ' suicide. I wish to come down upon him unawares and make sure of iden tification before he perceives my pur pose." There was report that the prisoners might be brought ashore and returned to England on an east bound steamer. It la more probable that Dew will remain on the Montrose until the steamer reaches Quebec, ISO miles further up the river. In Quebec the officers will be able to arrange the matter of extradition." Sn-iects Probably Still Ignorant The press representatives will ao- , company the officers to the Montrose, but they will not be allowed on board until Identification has been deter mined and arrest or apology made. Jf the chief Inspector gets hia hands again on Crippen the latter is not tike- , ly to get away without taking his " guardian with him. . They may be thackeled togethur on the home trip. The steamer Montrose Is ploughing Its way slowly through tho eastern end of the St. Lawrence river. lth the suspects, the Inspector believes, still In Ignorance that they are under surveil lance. The steamer Is expected here about o clock tomorrow morning. She will reach Quebec tomorrow af ternoon.
