Governor Marshall's Proposition Wat rt Turned Down. THE FACTIONS ARE UNITED Convention Startling With RIcAous Indications Ends In Harmony and Enthusiasm. CANNIBALS EAT MISSIONARIES 200 DESCEND ON MISSION Capture 13 out of 20 Native Converts, Who Witness As Captors Sleep. Indianapolis, In discord and closing in enthusiastic harmony, the Indiana Democratic convention adopted Governor Marshall's proposition that it should indorse to next year's legislature a candidate for. the United States senate, and named John W.

Kern, who was the party's candidate for vice president in 1908. This action means that Kern should be elected to succeed Senator A. J. Beveridge, provided the Democrats have a majority in the next state legislature and that majority adheres to the indorsement made. The opposition made a grim fight under the leadership of Thomas Taggart, a candidate for the nomination for senator, but, defeated, it joined heartily with the element headed by Governor Marshall and John E.

Lamb of Terre Haute, vice chairman of the national committee, also aspirant for the senatorship, in a shouted acclamation of Kern as the party's candidate. This issue overshadowed the adoption of a platform and the naming of a state ticket. Eleven names of leading Democrats were presented as candidates for the senatorship. On the first ballot Taggart led with 228 votes, Kern receiving 200. On the second ballot there was a slump from the other candidates to Kern.

"Machine" in Scrap Heap. "The Taggart machine is on the scrap heap," said Mr. Taggart to the convention, giving up the struggle broad smile, "I am going to say something most of you won't believe, but I would rather see Kern In the Benate than be there myself." He then delivered the 183 votes of the Marion county delegation to Kern, though Kern had declared, in the course of the first ballot that his name had been presented without warrant and "he was in no -sense a candidate." The voting proceeded, Kern gaining more, until the fourth ballot, when, all the other candidates having withdrawn, he was nominated unanimously. During the vote on whether the convention should indorse a senatorial candidate, the delegation from Indianapolis, Taggart's cast 180 against and three votes for the There was a dispute and the negative voters rose to be counted. An enthusiastic supporter of Lamb pressed his way through the crowd to shake hands with the Indianapolis "insurgents," but was met with a blow in the face before he reached them.

A general fight between the two delegations impended, but the police forced their way between them and order was restored. Little Interest in Platform. Little interest was manifested in the platform except the tariff and liquor planks, both of which the Republicans evaded in their convention. The resolution denounced the Payne- Aldrich tariff act as a masterpiece of Injustice, "involving exactions from the many to enrich the few, through the trusts nnd monopolies which it fosters." The following state ticket was named: Secretary of state, Loui-a C. Bllingham of Decatur; auditor, William H.

O'Brien of Lawrenceburg; treasurer, William H. Vollmer of Vincennes; attorney general, Thomas Honan of Scottsburg; clerk of supreme court, J. Fred France of Hunt- Ington; superintendent public instruction, Robert .7. Aley of Bloomington; state geologist, Edward Barrett of Plainfield. Seattle, of the eating by cannibals on February 5, of Rev.

Horatio Hopkins and his assistant, Rev. Hccktor Laurie Mcl'herson, missionaries of the Presbyterian church on Savage Island, were brought by the barkentinc Mary E. Winkelman, which arrived at Mukllt- teo, from the Tonga Islands in the south seas. While the barkentinc lay at. Tanga- tahu, in the Tonga Islands, a canoe lOnd of mission natives from Savage Island arrived at Fua, bringing news of the butchery.

The natives said that Hopkins and MoPher-son were In the mission building, which stands on the beach in the little harbor of Savage island, when 200 unconverted savages, howling war cries and brandishing clubs and spears, descended on them and took 13 prisoners. The missionaries had 20 converts in training at the time, and only nine of them escaped. Both missionaries wore bound with thongs and left lying on the beach in the tropical sun for several hours, while the savages took the native captives inland. The cannibals then returned to the beach and carried the missionaries on a litter to the crater of the extinct volcano Van lue, in the center of the island. There for two days and nights they held a corroboree.

At times their dancing and reveling could be seen plainly by the fugitive Christian natives. While most of the cannibals were sleeping the captive natives escaped. Their going was hastened by the sight of two of the cannibal chiefs donning the missionaries' clothes. The clergymen had already been eaten. The WJnkelman brought news of a genera) revival of the old-time religious customs in the Tonga, the Society, the Solomon and the Cook groups.

The natives are holding dances and feast- Ing on human flesh as they did in the days before the white men Interfered.
