WEST TO BE
BIG BATTLLEIELD
4Oovernor Cox Gives Newspaiper Men
Impre.ision that le Favors an Early
and Energetle Invasion of iut Ter
ritory.
Dayton, Ohio, July 9.-That the west
may be developed into one of the chief
battlegrounds early in the national
political caimInpaigns was the inference
drawn from today's developments
here.
Gov. James .1. Cox, the Democratic
candidate for president, stated :that
many req lu's ts that. he openi the llcam
aign in the west have beeil received
and in his talk with newspaper men
the go'oCr'II' left tlme iprII Iessionl that
lit alt least .was int orei't'ei il
the "ropositoll of an carly invasion
of the west, if not inl fact, favorable
to it. He stated, however, that cai -
paign arranlgemleits are Ilii teli hands
of lbhe national committee and that he
could say nothing defin ite until he has
conferred with the committee.
W'. W. lin, president of tle Corn
Palace, .Mitchell, S. D., headed a dele
gation that Called on the governor
today urging him1 to accept an invi
tation to speak at the festival the
date of which is September 27 to 0e
toberi 7. The Alinnesota state fair
management also has wired asking him
to make a speaking engagement there.
Charles E. Morris, the governor' Iri
Vale secretary, telephoned from San
'Francisco, that lie was being besieged
by California delegalions urging that
the campaign be openied itn that state.
MI. Morris told the governor that
California Democrats are certain they
can carry the state for hit.
Considerable inierest now is center
ing in the conference of the national
committee with the governor .uily 20.
.It has not been definitely established
'whether the meeting ,will be held at
the gdverinor's home at Trail's Elmd.
or in Colbillils, but the governor said
he' would wire Chairman Cummings
that the plans made for the commit
'tee meeting here seemed satisfactory
to him. The (late and place of hold
Ing the otlicial notilfleation ceremony
are expected to be determined at the
Conference.
Governor Cox intimated that some
time between August 15th and 20th
would be a satisfactory date for the
nottileation.
The fact that Franklin 1). Roosevelt
has stopped over for a twenty-four
.honr rest at Glenwood Springs, Colo.,
makes it probable that lie will not
.reach Ohio for a conference with his
running mate before Monday. In such
case, the governor said the conference
'probably will take place inl Coltimbus
as he expects to go there Mlonday
morning to look after matters at the
occutive ofilces. lie has wired Mr.
Rloosevelt asking for something dell
nate on the time of his arrival.
.lessages colitililed to come in to
day in a continuous stream. The gov
e'or stated that a number were from
men liwhoimi lie had pardoned from the
pi)tenltiar'y and who were '"imaking
goodi in the woild.''

Cataract Siashes Barrel on Jagged
Rocks. Warned lin Advance..
Niagara Falls, N. Y., July 11 -
Charles G. Stephens of :Brlstol, Eng
land, was killed today when he went I
over the 'llorseshoe falls in a barrel.
The cask in which he made the tri)
though built of stout russian oak
staves and bound with steel hoops
was smashed like an egg Shell on the
jagged r6cks eat the base of the cata
ract. Pieces of the barrel were plck
ed up near the bank on the 'Canadian1
side, butt. Steplh ens' body has not I)e'Il
recovered.
Stelilens was .-S years 01(1 and has
a wife and 11 children -in l3rist.ol,
where lie was a barer. .le served
three years In France (with the Brit
llh arm1y. lie had planned to make a
lecture tour ' 1England if his trip was
sitecessful.
Bobby teacl, who went over tihe
llorseshoe falls in 1911. told Stephens
before he started that his trip woup,
he a failure. Leachii predicted that the
harrel would not withstand the dro:'
of I.1 feet, but Stephen refused to
be dissuaded from i the venture.
Few knew t hat Stephens was to
make the trip today and when the
barrel iwas towed out into the river
on the Canadian side two miles above
tile falls there were only a dozeni on
hand to watch. It was 8: 10i a. m.
w hen 'tephens was east adrift. Early
sightseers on G1oat Island saw the
barrel bobbing il) and down In the
tumbligil reaches of the uipper rapids,
but none knew that it carried a man
about to defy tile cataracf.
Melebers of Stephens' party fol
lowed the (nsk down stream in ai
tomobiles. In one of lhe.cars a mov
Ing picture operator filmed the pro
gress of the biarrel. As the barrel
drew near the brin1i of the falls, It
seemed to stand on end, hesilate a
sceond or tTo and then slided grace
fully over the 'slopi', head foremost
aid at a sligth angle. Its gleaming
black and white stripes could be seen
until it had fallen about half way
down the face of the cataract then it
wast lost to view in the misty spray.
-A quarter of an hour passed, then
a half hour and an hour. Field glass
es trained on the boiling waters at the
base of the cataract revealed no sign
of the cask. When the hour had
passed. the old river men In the lit
tle group of watchers began to shakhe
their heads Ip*lblously.
'le barrel designed by Stephens
for the trip w.as sIx feet three inches
high.
Stephlens Is the third to attempt tihe
barrel tri! over tile falls.
Mrs. Anele E. Taylor went over in
October, 1901, In an oal< barrel, and
Dlobby Leach made tile tlrip In .1ly.
1911, In a steel barrel. Both are still
living.
