STATESBORO, Ga. Aug 15.-Guard-
ed by armed troops and surrounded by
a great throng Of excited citizens, thir-
teen negroes. members Of the Before
Day Club" the existence of which was
made known by one Of its members
under arrest, were placed on trial here
this afternoon for the murder of Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Hodges and their
three children. There had been much
talk Of lynching, but there was no
open outbreak and the local militia,
reinforced by a company of sixty men
of the First Regiment from Savannah,
had little difficulty in preserving
order in the streets around the Court
house.
The opening Of court. however. was
marked by unusual and dramatic in
cidents The room was so crowded by
spectators that the Sheriff was unable
TO clear a space for the prisoners. He
finally called on the soldiers for help.
and a company of men with fixed
bayonets marched around the court
room and forced the crowd to give
way.
This having been done, Rev. II. A.
Hodges. brother of the murdered man,
was called upon to open the proceed
ings with prayer. Hodges prayed for

Proceedings of Convention

NO NOMINATIONS MADE
Radical Resolution Offered
by United States Senator
Dubois Cause of Trouble

LEWISTON, Idaho, Aug. 15.-Con-
sideration of the Norman question is
tonight blocking the proceedings o.
the Democratic State Convention,
which met here to-day United States
Senator Dubois who was defeated as
a delegate in his own county and sue
ceeded in being chosen from Custer
County, proposed a radical anu-Mor-
mon resolution. His resolution has
been softened to denouncing polygamy
and the mixing of church and state,
and promising to favor legislation to
carry into effect these views. The
prospect now is that this resolution
will be defeated and the national
Democratic plank be simply reat-
firmed.
Should the Dubois resolution fail,
as is expected it is considered likely
that ex-senator Henry Heitfeld of
Lewiston, who to-day was regarded
as almost certain to be nominated for
the Governorship, will withdraw In
favor of Major James II. Hawley OF
Boise, though Ex-Governor Frank
Steuenberg is now being vigorously
upheld for the candidacy by members
of all factions. 1t is unlikely that any
nomination will be made tonight

YAQUI INDIANS
SPREAD TERROR
CONSERVATION Exists in the
Region North of GuaymaS
on Account of DepredatiOns

GUAYMAS, Mexico, Aug. 15.-The
district TO the north of this port is in
turmoil over the outrages being perpe-
trated by Yaqui Indians. All trains
and stages leaving Guaymas are ac-
companied by military escorts and de-
tachments Of soldiers arriving with
Yaqui prisoners for deportation give
the city a warlike appearance.
The trouble is still confined to the
district north Of Guaymas and rein
forcements have arrived from Hermo-
sillo, so that the authorities are conf
dent of being able to keep II from
spreading.
The last killing was that of Crescen-
sio Mavtorena, trader, who was am
bushed near BatomataL The Yaquis
shot him down, cut out his heart and
plundered his wagons. The following
day Eugenio Campillo and Jose Yer
dugo, who set out to learn the fate of
Maytorena, were attacked by the saw
ages, but they used their rifles to ad-
vantage in holding back the Indians
and their swift ponies carried them to
a place Of safety
The party which set out from San
Jose de Guaymas under the leadership
of Alexandra Roma, in pursuit of the
slayers Of Maytorena, overlook them
at the Aguila ranch, where the dozen
members of the band had just been
driven back bv the proprietor and a
few vaQueros. The Indians were sur
rounded. but Ojo Blanco, or White
Eye, famous Yaqui, who was at the
head OF the band. made a desperate
effort to break through the ranks of his
pursuers. He and his eleven compan-
ions were finally overpowered and
taken prisoners. Ojo Blanco, who is
in jail at Guaymas, will be shot, while
his companions will be deported.

After the prayer the minister ad-
dressed the throng, pleading with
those present TO uphold the court in
its every action. 1t was, he said, a
sad mission which brought him to
Statesboro. If it had been another's
brother who had been murdered he
declared, he would have felt more an
ger than he felt to-day.
The Grand Jury reported indictments
against Paul Reed and VIII Cato for
the murder of Henry Hodges and the
State elected to try the men separ-
ately, Cato being the first arraigned.
All the evidence against Cato was
submitted and the case closed by Z
o'clock tonight and the jury retired
at ten minutes after seven. The jurors
returned a verdict of guilty eight min
utes later. The verdict had been ex-
pected and was received in silence by
the spectators. Without passing SEN
tence, Judge DAILY adjourned court un-
til tomorrow morning and the court
room was cleared.
Soldiers. with fixed bayonets, were
stationed every three feet from the
court entrance to the Jail and after
waiting half an hour the prisoners. es-
corted by more militiamen, were
marched to the Jail, around which a
strong guard was posted.

KING PLEASED
WITH SITUATION
Edward Makes a Brief Ad-
dress in PrOrOguing Par
lament of Great Britain

LONDON, Aug. 15.-After admittedly
barren sessions, marked by no less than
seven fruitless attempts on the part Of
the opposition to oust the Government
on votes of censure, Parliament was
prorogued to-day, no more than TWEEN
ty-five members being present, includ-
ing one member of the Cabinet.
The Kings speech proroguing Parlia-
ment was brief. After mentioning his
visits to the King of Denmark and the
German Emperor, at which he said his
reception in each case was most cor
dial, and the agreement between
France and Great Britain, which he
pointed out will be advantageous to all
concerned and materially strengthen
the friendship between Great Britain
and France, the King said:
Hostilities regret to say, are still in prog
ress between Russia and Japan. Upon the
outbreak of the war / issued a proclamation
declaring my neutrality and enjoining all my
people TO a strict observance thereof. I'm
portant questions involving the treatment of
neutral commerce in the hands of belligerents
have arisen in connection with these opera
tions. The issues involved, which are of the
gravest moment to the trade of the empire,
will, l trust, be amicably settled without
the country My Government will energeti-
cally support my subjects in the exercise of
rights recognized by international law as be-
longing TO neutrels.
In regard to Tibet the King said that
the arrival of the political mission at
Lassa afforded him the greatest sat
isfaction and reflected considerable
credit on the officers and the small
number of men of the force. He hoped
the conference in Lassa would result
in an arrangement of terms which
would end the difficulties and friction
on the northern frontier of the Indian
empire.

situation in Somaliland and enumerat-
ing the bills to which his Majesty had
assented the speech extended the

RENO, New, Aug. 15.-Bert Rich
ardson and E. f. Lewis were made

another man named Oscar Bridges.
