' a n-w order of things was' ush-
ered in with the convention which was
called to order in the Majestic theatre
here shortly before 11 o'clock this
morning. The convention assembled
to nominate a candidate for judge of
the superior court, to name the presi
dential electors and the delegates-at-large
and alternates to the national
convention. But the proceedings were
to be of the cut-and-dried order in the
truest sense of the phrase. The state
wide primary held three weeks ago,
the first of its kind in Pennsylvania,
had settled the contests and all that
remained for the convention to do was
to ratify the results of the primary.
This was made all the easier by the
fact that there has been no contest
within the party over preference for
the presidential nomination. The last
state convention unanimously endors
ed United States Senator Knox and
the present gathering will reaffirm the
action of the last convention by in
structing Pennsylvania's sixty-eight
delegates to the Chicago convention
to vote for Knox

Progress Of
Paper Hearing
By Associated Press.
Washington, D. C, April 29. Upon
resuming his testimony before the se
lect committee of the house on wood
pulp and print paper, John Norris fur
nished the committee with data show
ing that H. G. Craig &Co. controlled
the output of seven independent mills
until these mills were combined into
one selling agency.
Mr. Norris said there was no concen
tration of control of newsprint paper
mills.
Responding to a series of questions
from Chairman Mann, Mr. Norris said
that the mills controlled by Craig &
Co. did not undertake to make sales in
dependently. As to Alleged "Trust."
Several original letters from pub
lishers were put in evidence giving
indications of the existence of a paper
"trust." One of these was written
in November, 1907, by W... S. Me
Clatchey, publisher of the Evening Bee
at Sacremento, Cal., who spoke of a
contract he had with the Williamette
Mill for paper at $2.60 per hundred,
but which price was raised to $2.80 at
the expiration of the contract. By way
of fixing the date when paper compa
nies refused to make quotations, Mor
ris placed in evidence a number of let
ters from paper manufacturers in re
sponse to requests for price.
Replying to a question, Mr. Norris
said:
"It shows that in some way which
we have not yet uncovered, it was a
part of the program by which they
would not make quotations."
As part of the formulation of testi
mon3r, with respect to combinations of
various groups of paper makers, Mr.
Norris at this point put in evidence
a list of officers and by-laws of the
New. Sulphite Pulp Association, pub
lished November 23rd, 1907.
"These new by-laws," said Mr. Nor
ris, "were devised, so. we charge and
expect to prove, immediately following
complaints of publishers, and in order
that this association might come with
in federal statutes."

ing damages to the extent of $10,000

Changing a Circuit on
North Church Street Near
The Fire Station.
Body Fell Limp Into Safety
Belt And Was Removed
From Pole by Ladder
Physicians Efforts Were
Fruitless.
Rowland D. Blankenship, aged 22,
of Belmont, a lineman in the employ
of the Charlotte Electric Railway
Light and Power Company, was elec
trocuted this morning at 9 o'clock
while at work on the top of a short
pole on South Church street between
Trade and Fourth streets.
Death was not instantaneous. The
wires on a single phase line, carried
a load of 1,100 volts. The man, who
wore a safety belt which prevented
him from falling to the ground, was
removed by his fellow workmen and
carried into the Church street fire
station house where several physi
cians worked heroically to save his
life. Artificial respiration and strenu
ous rubbing of the body were resort
ed to for nearly an hour before death
finally claimed the victim.
The physicians, upon examination
found that Blankenship was breathing
faintly and under their direction fom
men raised and lowered the arms,
rubbed the chest and legs, producing
artificial respiration and circulation
of the blood. At one time Blanken
ship responded slightly to the treat
ment and renewed efforts were made
to resuscitate him but a greenish
pallor slowly appeared on the lips and
as it became more decided life was
dispared of. Without a tremor the
body relaxed every nerve had been,
paralized.
Blankenship with two other line
men and two groundmen, working
under Foreman H. F. Mullen, were
changing a lighting circuit from old to
new poles. The wires under the old
arrangement jumped from the East
side of Church street 100 feet below
Fourth to the southwest corner o'
PYmrth and Church streets, in front
of the little store at that place, and
then recrossed Church street to a
pole on the east side of the street
next to Page's blacksmith shop, about
100 feet north of Fourth street. On
account of placing curbing on street
corners it was necessary to remove
the pole on the southwest corner of
Church and Fourth. It was vhile
connecting one of the wires spanning
the distance across the street that
Blankenship came in contact with the
live wire. He created a short cir
cuit by means of some part of his
body and hand, in which he held a
pair of plyers, coming in contact with
both legs of the circuit at the same
time. He was aware that the wires
he was working with were heavity
charged and carried 1,100 volts. He
was an experienced man and had
never had any trouble of this kind
before. The body was not burned
and but for a small scorch in the
palm of his right hand, in which he
held the plyers, there were no
visible signs that such a high voltage
had passed through it.
While Mr. Blankenship was at
work on the top of the pole, Ground
men Whitlow and Hayes were on the
ground serving him. They heard a
groan and looking up saw the body
relax and fall limply into the safety
belt. In this position it remained
until a ladder was secured from the
fire station a few yards away and
raised against the pole on which
two men went up and lowered the
body with ropes. While it was be
ing carried to the fire station physi
cians were being summoned. They
responded promptly and administered
strychnine and other stimulants, be
sides using artificial respiration and
circulation of the blood.
When it became known that 1,100
volts passed through the man's body
some were inclined to believe that
that amount would not, ordinarily,
prove fatal. An electrician who
knows something about the amount of
electricity required to kill a person
recalled the method used by some
states of electrocuting criminals. "In
these states," he said, "about 1,750
volts and eight or nine amperes are
used. The current is applied three
times, as a rule, with the points of
contact placed on the calves of ttu
legs and on the base of the brain.
"The amount of electricity require!
to kill a person is a speculative quar.
tity. What will kill one person wil
not. kill another. It depends largel;
upon the condition of the heart anc.
the resistance of the human body."
Mr. Blankenship had been in thf
employ of the 4C's Company for about
two years. He was considered 'dTi
cicnt and industrious and was hfl-1
in high esteem by his employers.
Ho was marriod and liv 1 rt
