for the Republican state convention which
met today, by a steering committee repre-
sentlng western Washington and enough
OF the eastern counties to secure the
requisite votes. The ticket Of this COM

clear for straight fight On the United

ter, congressman Cushman and Humph-
rey and Samuel p Hill. BY this ar
rangement the friends Of Gov Mcbride
apparently are left out Of consideration.
Ellis Morrison, chairman of the state
central committee called the convention
to order. Edward Whitson, of Yakima
county, was elected temporary chair
man. The resolutions committee pre-
scented two reports. The majority plat

TAPPAN ELUCIDATES
MinneapoIltan Is Witness In
Postal Fraud Trial.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May lin
the trial today of James N. Tyner and
Harrison j. Barrett on charges of con-
spiracy in connection with their duties
at law officers of the postoffice de-
partment, John E. Tappan, of the In
vestors Syndicate Of Minneapolis, tes-
titled. He said that in November,
1901, nearly year after Mr.. Barrett
left the department, the mail of his
company had been held up. Mr.. Tap
pan came to Washington and saw Gen.
Tyner, who asked him to file a written
brief concerning the company and it's
contentious. and referred him to Mr..
Barrett as probably the best posted
man in the United States in regard to
bond investment companies" The wit
ness said that Gen. Tyner wrote down
the name and address of Mr.. Barrett
and gave him the card.
Mr. Tappan told Of visit to Mr..
Barrett in Washington and of engag-
ing him later to draw a contract which
would be acceptable to the postoffice
department. He said that Mr. Barrett
got contract through the department
for the company and later another con-
tract was approved by the department,
but at that time 1t had not been neces-
sary to get the aid of Mr.. Barrett.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., May 11.-Neal
Van Overschelde and Alfred Duvetter,
farmers of Sanborn county, have had
a painful experience. The former be-
came enraged because DR.. E. J. Phelps,
of Letcher, and another physician,
guaranteed his home, where a case of
diphtheria had developed. In COM
pany with Duvetter, the angry farmer
went to Letcher, and made savage
assault upon DR.. Phelps In his Office,
DR.. Phelps might have been killed
had his cries not been. heard by peo-
pie in the neighborhood. Assistance
soon arrived and the two farmers were
placed under arrest. They pleaded
guilty to the charge of assault Van
Overschelde was fined $50 and costs,
while Duvetter was let off with a fine
of $25 and costs. Both paid the
amounts assessed against them.
They entered a saloon, and, still
smarting over the result of their as
sault on the physician, set out to ease
their feelings by attacking the pro-
prietor. But this time they caught a
tartar, for the saloon man promptly
armed himself with a beer bottle and
went after both men. Both soon look
ed as if they had gone through a
threshing machine.

SHERIFF WILL SEND
OUT VANS AGAIN
Continued From First Page.

delinquent in the payment Of their
personal property taxes, and against
whom judgments have been rendered
in the district court, and of this num-
Der a larger percentage paid last year
than had ever done SO before in the
history of the county. 1t was a rich
harvest for the sheriff, and while but
little work was ever accomplished by
the van crusade, it served as a means
for soaring the delinquents in with the
cash, which was the primary object of
the plan.
Conditions a year ago, however, were
very much different from those Of this
year, for at that time Sheriff Justus is
said to have had no intention of being
a candidate for a third term for the
office Of sheriff, and was in a position
where he could afford to offend few
score taxpayers so long as it placed
money in his own pocket. In the
meantime the sheriff has decided to
make the race again, and 1t is pointed
out that 1t would be bad politics for
him to start van crusade when he
will need all the support possible and
for this reason his threat to renew the
collection of delinquent personal prop
erty taxes by the van method is con-
sidered largely a bluff, and so far as
having the effect of soaring the de-
linquents into paying up again, is ex-
pected to be something of a failure
Under the law, the sheriff has a
right to seize personal property where
the owner is delinquent in his taxes.
and the prospect of having a large tax
van, followed by a curious mob, back
ed up to ones home or place of bust
ness to cart away whatever the depu-
ties might lay their hands on, was not
a welcome one to those who had
neglected to settle at the proper time
Must Show the People.
Should the crusade be made again
this year, and carried past the farcical
stage which bound 1t last year, there
is no doubt it would yield large re-
turns, but until the people see that
Sheriff Justus is In earnest, it is high
ly improbable that any extra force Of
deputies will be required to care for
the rush of the delinquents.
However, Sheriff Justus stands pat
on the proposition that he will send
the vans out this summer, and Deputy
Sheriff Reichow, also. a candidate for
sheriff this fall, is now wondering if
Mr.. Justus will try and dispose of his
candidacy by placing him in charge of
the unpopular expedition
The collection Of delinquent personal
property taxes had it's origin In
Omaha, where 1t has been conducted in
a most successful manner for num-
Der of years. 1t was tried here for the
first time last summer, but the trial
was merely q bluff, less than half a
dozen delinquents being paid a visit by
the big wagons.

CHINA GIVES AMERICAN
