The credentials committee is composed
of the following: p. ]. Keane. w. 7.
Jones, c. p. Lefry, o. F. Schanfeld and
e. F. Dobson.
Following the din after the
ment of the credentials committee a del
egate moved that an adjournment be
taken until 3 o'clock, and the motion was
declared carried by the chairman.
THE FUN RESUMED.
When the convention convened this at
ternoon Chairman Walsh stated that
since making his ruling this noon egard
ing proxies, he a received further in
structions'' on the subject. According to
these Instructions Mr.. Walsh said that
the matter of proxies was one entirely IN
the hands Of the convention. h con-
vention could decide as to whether
proxies could be used.
A delegate inquired II the chairman
would kindly inform the delegates from
whom he had received the instructions.
The chairman said he was not at liberty
to state the name at this time.
"Then I move that it Is the sense OF
this delegation that proxies shall be al
lowed" said a delegate. The motion was
seconded and the chairman called for the
ayes and nays. There was another
storm of protests but the chairman de-
cided the motion carried. you are u
OF order for entertaining the notion" and
Il advise you to gather your wits around
you or let somebody else act as chair
man. were some of the epithets hurled at
the chairman.
Somebody attempted to make another
motion but the chairman decided not to
entertain any more motions until the
credentials committee had reported. The
reading of the report of the committee
OF credentials consumed much time. The
report rejected the credentials of the
delegation from the workingmen's S-hour
club, the Iron Trades Council and one
club in Anaconda. Motions came in thick
INC fast for the next few minutes. A mo-
ton was made to seat the Iron Trades
Council delegates. This was carried. An
other motion was made that the dele
gates of the Workingmen's S-hour club
be admitted. A of the latter
stated the objects of this organization.
This motion also carried. Delegate I'M
ningham criticized the action of the
chairman in refusing to recognize him.
The chairman protested that the failure
to recognize him was not intentional.
Edward Boyce president of the Western
Federation of Miners made a plea for
! harmony. He asked in all sincerity that
the delegates use better judgment and
not waste their time in useless words.
They We're surrounded by the enemy n
their every action WOuld be criticized.
Nominations for permanent chairman
were declared in order. Dan Mcdonald,
president of the Western Labor Union,
VIM. Walsh, M. J. Haggerty n Patrick
Keane were named. Messrs. Haggerty
and Keane declined. Another wrangle
ensued over the question of whether the
nominations would be for temporary or
permanent chairman and also as to the
method of balloting. 1t was decided to
axe a standing vote. Three-fourths or
more of those present voted in favor Of
Mr.. Mcdonald and he was escorted to
the chair amid great enthusiasm.

Low BLACKMAlL,
Believe Charges of Robbery Against
Tenderloin Women Are False,

The determination of the police author
tiles to put an absolute stop to the rob-
bling operations of certain disreputable
women of the Tenderloin district has
brought about one curious result.
The robbing in some cases where COM
plants have been made, has been done
by colored women of the Patsy Boliver
class, and so vigorously did the police fol-
low them up that nearly all Of these wo-
men sought other fields to operate in.
Following this, some complaints have
been made by men recently that were
scarcely sustained by the facts. The wo-
men assert that there are men low
enough to make a charge of robbery
against them for no other purpose han
to try and force them to pay the COM
plainant back money, so hat when the
case is called, the man will not be pres
ent.
One especially suspicious case came to
the attention of Judge Sullivan yesterday
when a man giving the name of Mike
Wells charged a woman with robbing hin

DON'T LIKE JAIL
JACOB SCHWARTZ, WANTED IN
WISCONSIN FOR ADULTERY,
SEEKS HABEAs CORPUS.

Jacob Schwartz is in the county Jail with
q charge of adultery against him, and has
been there since the 18th, having been ar
rested by the sheriff's department on a
telegram from the chief of police of a little
town In Wisconsin. MIR. Schwartz does not
like to be in Jail. Today he interviewed
Attorneys Mackel & Breen, and through
them petitioned the district court for a
writ of habeas corpus, claiming in the
document that bs is being illegally re-
strained of his liberty by the sheriff. Judge
clancy has ordered the sheriff to produce
in court On the 9th instant, on
which date he will hear the petition.
1t Is alleged that about four weeks ago
chwart left Wisconsin and took win him
the wife of another man. The pair came to
Butte and secured work in the
Gagnon mine. The injured husband learned
the route taken by his recreant spouse and
Mr.. and started after them. He
landed in Butte on schedule time and found
the couple together as he had expected.
He did not get mad just then-he simply
took his wife back east and kept her there.
After his return he swore out a warrant
charging Schwartz with the crime men,
toned, and the latter's arrest here fol,
lowed. An officer is said to be now en-
route from Wisconsin to take Schwartz
back for trial.

of IS. His story was full of inconsistencies
but on top of it is the statement of sew
eral women that he had accused half a
dozen OF them of thefts before he finally
settled on one and fixed the amount at IS.
With the summary manner in which
these women are dealt with and the very
strong %prejudices that naturally exists
against them. it will be seen that this
counter graft" is a comparatively easy
one, but it Will not be easy after this. A
woman will not be whisked into court
and punished on the mere say SO of some
man. even more disreputable than the
woman
There are several instances where this
graft" has been attempted, and at least
one where it worked successfully.

DECREASE OF THREE MILLS

The board Of euuaiization has finished
it's labors for the season and fixed the
tax levy for the state and county for
this year. The total is IA mills, against
II mills last year. The decrease is due
to the fact hat last year l mill was lev
led for school house building, and this
wear the $50, 600 bond issue takes the
place of m extra tax levies for this pur-
bose. Last year 2 mills were also lev
led for the purpose Of raising money
with which to buy the vacant property
adjoining the court house, but since then
the purchase of the ground has peer de-
clared illegal, and no more levies for
this purpose will be made until the mat
ter is Strengthened out. Taking it for
granted that the city will go the limit
and levy the II mills allowed by law,
the total levy win be 26 mills for state,
county and city, AGAINST 90 last year.
