THE WILD CLAIMS
Of Both Democratic Factions Still
 Maintained.

If both the Wilson and the Shannon factions believe all they are saying, both will be fooled soon after the coun- ty convention is called to order at Tempe tomorrow morning. Dozens of delegates to the convention are claimed by both sides. In some cases the dele gates have pronounced for one side and in some cases for another. There are changes of opinion going on and they will be going on until the last moment. Even in town, where there was a more or less distinct understanding among the candidates for delegates that they were to represent this candidate or that one, it is quite certain that all of them are not going to follow the will of the voters. In the out of town precincts there was not a definite understanding that any delegate was to vote for any particular candidate. Without violat- ing any agreement at all the delegates may support Wilson or Shannon or they may work in the interest of a dark horse.
 All of them are being seen and la bored with and life is being made a burden to them so that they wifi be glad when the strenuousness is over. BOIn SlueS are Cldl1nlEB the victory as confidently as they did the night after the primaries and all day Sunday.
 Both sides are also claiming the dele gation from Pinaf county, and it is cer- tain that neither will get a solid vote from that direction. The delegation is not instructed to vote for any eandi- date. Some of the delegates are known to be friends of Colonel Wilson, and one of the most active members of the delegation, George P. Blair of Mann moth, is known to be a bosom friend of MT. Shannon.
 It is conceded that the proceedings at Tempe will be brief. One side or the other will be in perfect control, and what it will do will be done quickly and without much regard for the feelings Of the other faction

MISSOURI MAYOR
 ARRESTED FOR BIGAMY
He Confessed That He Had Started a
 Story of His Death.

Kansas City, August 25.-A special to the Star from Emporia, Kan, says:
 James Pendleton, mayor of Gentry, Mo-, confessed to-day to the sheriff of Lyons county and a number of news paper men that he had circulated the story of his death and burial at Or lando. Oklahoma, to escape a charge of bigamy. Pendleton wilted when con- frCnted by Mrs. Grace Obley- Morris of EmpOria, his second wife, who had caused his arrest upon a charge of bigamy.
 Pendleton, who had gone under the name of s. Morris and John Cox, has wife and five children at Gentry. He had, according to his own statement, married Miss Obley at Emporia last June under the name of Meyers. Ten days ago he appeared at Orlando, Oklahoma, under the name of Cox. He started a story that his friend Morris had died, bought a coffin and buried the supposed dead man in a country cemetery at Orlando. Emporia friends believing that Morris" had been mur- dered had the coffin exhumed, when it was found to be empty. Pendleton was traced to Gentry and arrested yester- day The sheriff at first refused to serve the warrant because of Pendle- tons position. He has been held to the October term for trial.

GRAINS.

Chicago, August 25.-Corn led all the other grains in point of activity and price advances today. The other mar kets were inclined toward dullness, and at times almost none was in the pits. Congestion in September corn with big decreases in local stocks and fears of a natural corner were bullish factors. After the idle hour other grains ad- vanced in sympathy, and at the close September corn was 1hc up. Septem- Der wheat was A@Bc higher and Sep tember oats 9sc advanced. September corn opened at 5Ss4c to 5S15c. dipped to 579sc. advanced to 59Ac, lost nearly 1c, but rallied quickly and closed strong at 5915c. September wheat started at 7112c to 71Bc, and after selling at 721kc. closed strong at 72as 072kc. September oats sold from S3A 6339sc to 32%c, ral- lied to 33Bc and closed stronger at 33Ac.

RULINGS THREAT.

Pittsburg, Pa, August 25.-General Willis J. Hullings of Venango, who is deadlocked with Senator Henry H. Cummings of Warren, for the reDubli- can senatorial nomination in the dis trict composed of these two counties, declared today that he would not sub init to any interference from State Chairman Quay in the controversy.
 The state committee has no right to interfere said he. We have been making nominations for the past twenty eight years in our district with out the aid of the state committee. There is no reason for changing our custom this time, and we do not pro- pose to do so.
 Tn the event of the nomination of Cummings being made by the umpire would not recognize that nomination. Such action would result in political revolution in Venango county"

TREASURY CLERK
 PUT ON ROLLERS
Member of Syndicate for Beating
 the Races.

Washington, August 25.-Secretary Shaw today ordered the dismissal from the treasury department of Lorenzo G. Warfield, clerk In the division of bookkeeping and warrants. The att tention of the department was called a few days ago to a circular said to have been issued by an organization of which Warfield was treasurer. The circular gave the plans of a proposed associa- tion by which stockholders could prob ably reap large returns from a scheme to play the races.
 One clause in the circular cited the fact that Warfield had an important position in the treasury department and gave this as evidence of the re- spcnsibility of the association. The dismissal was based upon the use of the departments name in this connection.

NEW PRISON HEAD
Colonel Griffith Appointed superin-
 tendent at Penitentiary.

Governor Brodie yesterday appointed Colonel William Griffith of Tucson su- perintendent of the territorial prison This appointment had been predicted for some time, and it was understood that 1t would be made about September l. Colonel Griffith will take charge of the institution at that time. He will have the appointment of all the under officers and guards, so that there will be great deal of uneasiness among all those holding positions in the prison now during the next week or two. It Is understood that Walter T. Gregory has been slated for the position of sec retary and storekeeper of the prison Several gentlemen have been men, tioned for assistant superintendent The position of guard is more attrac- tive than it used to be, for some of the guards receive a salary of $I0O a month and the captain of the guard gets S1l5.
 Colonel Griffith served as United States marshal for this territory dur ing the first administration of Presi- dent Mckinley. Since his retirement from office he has been actively en- gagged in mining enterprises. The place to which he has been appointed is one that requires a great deal of executive ability, and Colonel Griffith in the course of his long residence in this territory has shown that he possesses that in abundance.
 The management of the penitentiary has been careful and economical un- der the administration of Herbert Brown. the present superintendent. and the institution is probably in better shape than it has ever been before. IL is understood that MT. Brown will not leave Yuma at the end of his term of office, but will take charge of the Hotel Gondolfo. MT. Brown has been at the head of the penitentiary about fouv years. He was appointed by Governor Murphy about the time he succeeded Governor McCord.

resCuers. Few were willing to risk their lives to dig out a man already supposed to be dead. MT. Bud Gilbert. however, proved the hero Of the hour by offering to take the chance. so he was lowered into the we'll and dug out the remains of the unfortunate one without help, the exertion demanding his full strength, and being all but too much for him. The brother of course was doing all he could to help. but in his frame of mind could be of little as sistance below. and was needed at the top. MT. Steele was undoubtedly killed almost instantly by the second caving. as indicated by the appearance of the remains when found. The dead man was really only boy, for he was but seventeen or eighteen years old. He was well known and very popular in the community.

Burt of the Union Pacific today stated to the striking shopmen of that road on what terms they might seek a set clement of alleged grievances.
 He told committee representing the carmen and employees that they must first return to work and the company would then hear their grievances as individuals, but that he would not con- fer with anybody representing the strikers.

ton becomes indifferent to the law making body, and in the next place the law making body gets into the most perniciCus custom of passing laws, not with reference to what will be done un- der them, but with reference to its eff fleets upon the opiniensSof voters.
 What l hope to see is power given to the national legislature which shall make the control real. It would be an excellent thing if we could have all the states act on somewhat similar lines, so that it would not be necessary for the national government to act, but all of you know perfectly we'll that the states will not act on somewhat sim liar lines.
 "So you can see, gentlemen, I am not advocating anything very revolu- tionary. Now, ii we can get adequate control by the nation of these corpo- rations, then we can pass legislation which will give us power of regulation and supervision over them. If the na- ton, had that power, mind you, l should advocate as strenuOusly as l knew how that the power should be exercised with extreme caution and self-restraint
 The first thing we want is publicity, and l do not mean publicity as favor by some corporations; l mean it as a right from all corporations affected by the law. I want publicity as essential facts in which the public has an inter- est. l want Knowledge given to ac- credited representatives of the people. on which those representatives can, if they see fit, base their actions later. Publicity itself would cure many evils.
 "Of course, gentlemen, no jaws amount to anything unless they are ad- ministcred honestly and fearlessly. I believe, l am not going to say l am sure of it, but I believe it is possible to frame national legislation which shall give us more power than we have now, at any rate over corporations do- ing interstate business. l cannot guar antee that because tn the past it has more than once happened that we have got laws on the statute books which those who made them intended to mean one thing, and when they came up to a decision it was found that the intention had not been successfully put into effect. But l believe that ad- ditional legislation can be had. I think we have got to make up our minds to the fact that no matter what our reverence to the past may be, our duty to the present and to the future will force us to see that more power is conferred upon the national admin istra tion."

News was received here last night some time yesterday while working in well by the caving in of the brick curbing.
 Details were meager. but it was learned that he was working below and his brother. Sam Steele, was at the windlas. There was slight cave, which covered the young mans feet with debris and held him prisoner. He yelled for help, and his brother, un able to do anything, started at once for assistance. When he returned with others it was seen that a second cave in had occurred, for MT. Steele was completely covered up.
 The well was about thirty feet deep, and looked like a death trap to the
