Forefathers' day celebrations call

didate. The delegates to the coming con-

strict organization men, and there will
be no kicking over the traces. The only
nominations to be made tomorrow are

from Paterson, N. ]. MSSny documents
were found at his lodgings
PATERSON, N. j., July S1-Inquiry
among the members of the anarchist
group in this city in regard to the man
arrested at Zurich reveals the fact that
man named Amiel Galliotd was formerly
connected with the anarchists here and
was wei known among them. He was
employed as a weaver in the Paragon
silk mill in this city. 1t was stated to-
day by member of the group that Gal
iottt sailed away with Bresci, Lanni and
Quanivallo when they disappeared on
their errand of assassination. Galliotu
had been selected by the anarchists 10
kill Nicholas, car of Russia, and had
accepted the mission. He was known as
a determined man and one that would
be likely to take desperate chances in ac-
complishing his purpose.
1t developed tonight that GalIiotti's
name was connected with the story
which was circulated months ago in Pat
erson that King Humberts death was
sought by anarchists.

and this he was forever preaching to his

on the ground that sections 343 and 351
of the penal code of this state in reg;a d
to gambling are contrary and repugnant

ana the amendments thereto, and the
laws of the United States"
Mr.. Dos Passos said that if the United
States circuit court sustained the allie
cation that the state laws were uncon-
stitutional, it would have the effect of
making illegal the sentences of all the
gamblers raided and afterward convicted
by the committee of fifteen and would
necessitate a revision of the laws as
those pertaining to gambling in the state
of New York. This Is the first time
step of this character has been taken in
this state.

AITKIN, Mimi, July a.-(special.)-
One man dead and one seriously wounded
is the result of a shooting affair that
took place in the little town of McGregor,
east of here, on the NE railroad. 1t
seems that the trouble started over the
prospective marriage of Tony Jordon to
a Miss Clasen. The father Mr.. Clasen,
opposed it. while the mother gave her
consent, which caused trouble between
the elder couple. This afternoon Jordon
and Mrs. Clasen came to &itkin to start
divorce proceedings, retUaaing to Nc

occurred which led to the serious
wounding of Clasen. The sheriff and DIR

he had not heard of it before. you

Mr.. Gudger said the Conservatives, or
government supporters, came into power
in Colombia in 1884, and they have been
there ever since. theoretically there are
supposed to be periodic elections, but
when these take place only members of
the ruling party cast votes. The Lib

the state at all. ..-.
In Venezuela, Ecuador and Nicaragua
the Liberals hold to the same principles
as do those of Colombia, but in the for
mer three countries they are the ruling
powers, having their men in the presi-
dents chair. In Colombia, Mr. Gudger
says, church and state are in theory not
connected. In the other three republics
the church is entirely separated from the
state, for the present.. at, least, both the
oretically and practically. The Liberals
of all four countries profess to believe in
freedom of speech, freedom of the press
and absolute separateness of 'ecclesiasti-
cal matters from matters. political.
