The populist county central
committee met Mt Monte Vista
Saturday and fixed upon Sept. 25
as the date for holding the pri-
marics and Sept. 2S us tho date for
holding the convention. Tho con.
vention will bc held ut the county
seat.
The basis of representation was
fixed at one delegate for every 90
votes cast for NJ. S. Bailey for
governor at the last general cleo
ton. The old precinct lines are to
govern in the selection of dele
gates.
There was division of scnti.
ment us to whether or not the
primaries should be governed by
the new precinct lines or the old
ones, but it was finally settled that
there would be less uncertainty
and confusion if the old precinct
lines were observed. The pur.
pose of creating new precincts
was to prevent crowding ut the
polls on the day of election. I'm
less voters attend the primaries in
greater numbers than heretofore
there is no danger of any incon-
vcniencc at our next primaries.

to the surprise of everyone the

of the court and returned verdict

for the defendant or to say they

TO PRESS THE RUIZ CLAIM.
THE ADMINISTRATIONS INSTRUCTIONS TO
MINISTER wOODFORD.


Washington, July 17.-This Government mas
directed Minister Woodford formally to present
to the Spanish Government and press the claim
of the family Of the late DR.. Ruiz for an IN
demnity Of $4,000 on account Of his death IN
Jail In Cuba.
Mr. Woodfords instructions, just compieted'
give the reasons for the presentation OF the
claim In detail They show that this Govern
ment. animated solely by the love OF truth ana
right and spirit Of justice. after mature con-
sideration OF the substantially uncontroverted
facts in the case has reached the conclusion
that, under the treaty OF 1905 and the protocol
Of 1877 between the United States and Spain
and the law Of 1921, made part OF the protocol
all the proceedings against Ruiz after his ar
rest and the notice given to the Cuban autno1-
ties OF his American citizenship were illegal
wrongful and arbitrary. It Is held that these
proceedings were in violation OF his treaty
rights. and resulted in his death, and that'
therefore, they warrant the demand for indem-
nifty.
While the circumstances would JUSTIFY de-
mand for a much larger sum OF money, MI
Woodford is instructed to say that In PROOF OF
the spirit OF moderation and absolute justice
with which the United States Government Is
animated the Government Of Spain is requested
to pay the indemnity named.
