Instruction for abstracters.
The foregoing were presented as the
all-important propositions confronting the
title men of this country in an address de-
livered by George Vaughan of Little
Hock, Ark., treasurer of the American
Association of Title Men, before the third
annual convention of the Texas Abstract-
era' Association, which convened Tues-
day afternoon in San Antonio for two
days.
Mr. Vaughan's address was the out-
fltanding feature of the first day's delib-
erations. The Texas organization is a
8-year-old, with a membership of some
ninety abstract concerns. It is at its
most important stage of development, al-
most a crisis, and the best means of ad-
vancemen and of gaining strength and
standing Is now a vital question with it.
The address of ttie •National treiusureif
who is a guest, served as a stimulus for
more active endeavor and Inspired fur-
ther ideals for the Texas association.
The program for the first of the two
days' session was not followed strictly.
The annual address of J. C. Crisp of Bee-
ville. State president, presiding, and the
election of officers were postponed until
today. The convention was to convene
at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, but dele-
gates were Blow in arriving and the hour
was advanced to 2 o'clock p. m. Forty
members are in attendance and the con-
vention Is being held in the Gunter
Hotel.
Reports of the executive committee,
Secretary H. B. Baldwin of Rockport and
Treasurer W. R. Pace of Laredo, recep-
tion of new members, amendments to
constitution and by-laws and discussions
consumed the afternoon. Tuesday night
the abstracters were the guests of the
San Antonio Chamber of Commerce at
that body's semiannual meeting and
luncheon at Electric Park.
BUSY DAY AHEAD.
Today President Crisp will deliver his
annual address, new officers will be
elected, a place of meeting for the next
convention possibly decided, although
this is usually left to the executive com-
mittee; there will bo a number of ad-
dresses on subjects of moment to the
abstracter and papers road, and medals
will bo awarded for the best abstract
specimens and abstract plants exhibited.
The delegates were welcomed to San
Antonio in a neat speech by John H. Cun-
ningham. The response for the abstract-
ers was made by W. C. Morris of Gal-
veston, who warmly praised San Antonio
(find San Antonians.
Mr. Vaughan was introduced early by
President Crisp.
"The term of title work," said Mr.
Vaughan, "when applied to a territory
National in extent, denotes both the serv-
ice of the abstracter and the Judgment of
the attorney—both always technical and
vital to the issue, whether laborious or
light. Title work further comprehends
the modern combination of service of
both searcher and attorney, plus financial
backing—the three affording a finished
product equivalent to the final word.

BOURNEMOUTH, England, July 1«.-
The first flying tournament of the year
in England was brought to a tragic
close this evening by the dramatic death
of the moat daring and popular British
aviator, the Hon. Charles S. Rolls, third
son of Lord Langattock.
In the presence of a great company of
spectators, a majority of whom were
ladies and children, and many personal
friends of the young aviator, tho Wright
biplane in which he was flying fell sud-
denly with terrific speed from a height
of loo feet. Jt struck the ground close to
the crowded grandstand, smashed jnto a
tangled mass, and before the doctors and
their assistants could reach the spot Holla
wan dead.
Captain the Hon. Charles Stewart Rolls
wan years old and was one of the most
popular young all around sportsman in
England. His death will be a great blow
to aristocratic sporting enthusiasts, with
all of whom ho was a great personal
favorite. At ballooning, motoring and
laier in the field of aviation he had dis-
tinguished himself by his utter fearless-
ness, and was satisfied with nothing short
of record breaking in whatever line of
sport ho took to.
Undoubtedly his crowning feat was his
round trip across the channel between
Dover and Calais In a Wright biplane on
June 2 last. Two Frenchmen, Louis
Bleriot and Count de Lesseps already
had crossed the channel and Hubert La-
tham had almost succeeded Channel
flying was at a discount In England be-
cause it was considered an old story
and also because national pride suffered
from the monopoly of it by Frenchmen,
when Rolls electrified the kingdom bv

decessors. I he distance between Dover

DALLAS, Tex., July 12.—Mr. David-
son's address has served as the chief
political topic for discussion in Pallas
today. His friends believe that it will
result not only in solidifying his own
strength, but in rallying to his stand-
ard the bulk of the anti-Bailey vote.
Senator Bailey has been denounced.
His next move will of necessity be In his
own defense. Mr. Davidson's followers-
point out that the election of Mr. John-
son would not be an anti-Bailey victory.
Mr. Johnson's statement, recently is-
sued here, calls upon the prohibitionists
of Texas not to allow the real issues to
become beclouded or obscured by Senator
Bailey's artful attack upon the policy of
the trust prosecutions which the Attor-
ney General's Department has followed.
He emphasized the paramountcy of pro-
hibition. Hence he relinquished his claim
to the anti-Bailey support as such. If
he wero to be elected Governor of Texas
Senator Bailey could claim that a pro-
hibition victory and not an nut I-Bailey
victory had ensued. The only hope,
therefore, of anti-Bailey men is Mr.
Davidson.
The recent expression of one of Mr.
Johnson's campaign managers, revealing
his satisfaction at Senator Bailey's dis-
creet position In this campaign, Is con-
sidered by Mr. Davidson's followers as
somewhat Inconsistent with Mr. John-
son's communication, and at the same
time open to the criticism of the salaam-
ing to the junior Senator. Mr. David-
son's supporters believe that their cause
has been materially strengthened by
Senator Bailey's attack upon Mr. David-
son and tho latter's resolute rejoinder.
CAMPBELL AND JOHNSON.
There la current a rumor that a rift
has occurred between Governor Camp-
bell and Mr. Johnson's forces. It has
been reliably reported from time to time
that Governor Campbell's personal choice
In this contest was Mr. Johnson. In as
much as Mr. Johnson aided the election
of Governor Campbell and has long been
his personal friend. Johnson supporters,
it is learned, resent slightly Governor
Campbell's disposition, or apparent In-
clination to lend the Influence of his
administration to Mr. Davidson in tho
face of his personal espousal of Mr. John-
eon's cause.
Julius Germany, Mr. Johnson's local
campaign manager, is quoted as saying
they have Invited Governor Campbell out
of the cainp. This bears tho stamp of
authenticity, although inability to inter-
view Mr. Germany prevents its corrobo-
ration or denial by him.
Mr. Johnson may not be cognizant of
the turn of affairs. If It be true, Gov-
ernor Campbell Is footloose to aid Mr.
Davidson to the best of his Influence and
ability if ho should desire to champion
his cause. However, it is known that
he does not desire to take a stand that
would be offensive to Mr. Poindexter in
this contest for the simple reason that
Mr. Poindexter stood by him when his
supremacy jvas menaced by the Cumby
blacksmith. Nevertheless, tho Invitation
out of their camp which Johnson men are
reported as having extended the chief
magistrate, may result in important de-
velopments.
WHAT WILL BAILEY DO?
Interest attaches to Senator Bailey's
speech at Rockdale tomorrow. It is be-
lieved that the course which may have
been mapped out for him will be dis-
closed in his address there. Colquitt
men are certain that Mr. Bailey will not
actively campaign for Mr. Poindexter.
The Cleburne lawyer's friends appear
satisfied, but have nothing definite to
announce.
Tho Poindexter headquarters gave out
the following statement today
"H. P. Brelsford of Eastland County

Texas, where he will spend a week

With the object of facilitating com-

of Nations, the two parties mutually en-

co-operation with a view to the amelior-

Manchuria and the improvement of the
connecting service of the said railways,

DALHOUSIE, New Brunswick, July 12.
A waste of smoking ruins extending for
two miles and seven isolated buildings
represent tonight the town of Campbell-
ton and the nearby village of Richards-
vllle, which were overwhelmed yesterday
by fire, driven by a gale.
Two lives were lost during the ten
hours the fire raged. Dr. Beverley Sproule,
a dentist, while aiding with his automo-
bile in rescuing women and children, was
burned to death by an explosion of gaso-
I line. An infant was suffocated in the
j dense smoke.
Five thousand residents of Campbellton
and 400 of Hlehardsvllle are homeless.
One thousand buildings in Campbellton
and seventy-five in the vllage were de-
stroyed The combined loss Is estimated
at $2,600,000. The total insurance Is ap-
proximately $1,000,000.
Campbellton was the largest cedar
shingle (enter in Eastern America. All
the mills were destroyed, including the big
plants of the Shoves Lumber Company,
Richards Lumber Company and the .Mor-
gatt mills. The property of these three
concerns, In which American capital was
interested, was vulticd at $.'100,000. A gale
and the failure of the water mains left
the population helpless against the
flames.
The flames burned themselves out in
Campbellton and Richnrdsvlllo this morn-
ing, but the forest Is still ablaze at many
points.
The fire was the greatest in New r,runs-
wick since the destruction of a large part
of St. John In 1877.

Republican State Chairman Is One of
the Men the Colonel Will Hare to
Reckon With in His Direct
Primary Bill Pro-
gram.
OYSTLrt BAT, X. Y . July 12.—Theodor*
Roosevelt and Charles E. Hughes, Gov-
ernor of New York, spent the evening
at Sagamore Hill In their long expected
and much heralded conference on New
York State politics. No word of the re-
sult was allowed to become known be-
yond the fact that the entire political
situation In this State was taken up.
Colonel Roosevelt had said on a pre-
vious occasion that the defeat of th«
direct primary nominations bill by the
Republican State organization would be
one of the main topics of discussion.
Whether the proposition of a Republican
candidate for Governor came up is not
known.
Colonel Roosevelt will have more poli-
ticians at Sagamore Hill tomorrow, per-
haps the most conspicuous of whom will
be Timothy Woodruff, chairman of the
Republican State committee.
Governor Hughes reached Sagamore
Hill from New York by automobile at
6:30 o'clock this evening and received
an enthusiastic welcome from Colonel
Roosevelt.
Colonel Roosevelt after a hard day in
New York reached Sagamore Hill only a
short time before Governor Hughes. Mr.
Hughes had dinner with tho Roosevelt*,
and then the men withdrew to the colo-
nel's library, where they talked until far
into the night.
A delegation of correspondents went
up the hill at 9 o'clock in the hope that
Colonel Roosevelt or the Governor would
have something to say after their talk,
hut the colonel sent out word that neither
he nor the Governer would be Inter-
viewed.
ROOSEVELT WILL FIGHT.
Colonel Roosevelt has made it clear that
he will fight for the direct nominations
bill, and James Wadsworth, speaker of
the State Ansembly, said also, after ho
called on Colonel Roosevelt in New York
today, that the hill was the one thing
which loomed up as a "rock in the smooth
seas ahead."
The speaker's chat with the colonel
was brief, but to Judge from appearances
was much to the point, and gave Colonel
Roosevelt In advance of his talk with
Governor Hughes a clear view of the
attitude of the Republican organization
to the extent that the Speaker repre-
sents it.
The speaker said afterward that hU
position was unchanged, and that so far
as he was concerned .there would be na
"sacrifice of principle."
When Colonel Roosevelt came out ot
his office a little later he said:
"I talked politics with the Speaker. We
discussed direct nominations. That Is all
I can any."
It is supposed, therefore, that the Gov-
ernor and the former President went
over the conference with the Speaker in
detail and mapped out tentatively the
program in advance of taking stepa to
force Into the platform, when the Repub-
lican State convention is held, a plank
declaring without equivocation for direct
nominations.
The general oflulon Is that the first
tangible result of tonight's conference,
however, will not be made known until
the initial steps in the program outlined
by them is taken On the other hand, it
Is possible that the full plan will not bo
disclosed until the Saratoga convention
has been called to order.
WOODRUFF'S VISIT IS IMPORTANT.
Mr. Woodruffs visit tomorrow is
awaited with Interest, for he is one of the
men with whom the colonel must reckon
If he Is to carry to a successful end his
fight for a direct nomination bill. The
chairman Is Identified closely with Wads-
worth and William Barnes Jr., leader of
the Republican organization of Albany
County, and who was opposed to the
direct nominations bill. He will be ihe
second of the three staunch organization
men to go to Colonel Roosevelt The
third man, Mr. Barnes, is In Europe.
It Is supposed that Mr. Woodruff will
