SPLIT AT K. C.
Contesting Delegations Elected
to Chicago Convention.

Kansas City. Jan. 2s.--Another conven-
held at the Midland hotel, attended by
delegates who allege fraud in the pri-
maries of last Tuesday, and delegates
at Chicago to contest the seats of Love
and Harris, who were elected by the
Turner hall convention. The factions are
not divided on the question of indorse
ment of President Roosevelt and the del
egates at the Midland hotel passed reso-
Iutions declaring in strong language for
the president.
Captain A. Kinneard and J. A. McLane
were chosen as the regular delegates to
the Chicago convention and Joseph Reid
and George J. Baer were elected as al
ternates. Resolutions were adopted de-
nouncing the course of Postmaster Harris
and censuring him for the alleged use of
his position to secure his election as dele
gate.

Bailey men this privilege and insisted
on vote on the whole report. The
Bailey men then declared that they
would vote against the entire report
with the understanding that their votes
should indicate their preference of Bal
ley for governor and Morse for railroad
commissioner, and this was done. There
were 121 delegates for Hoch and 79 for
Bailey.
The resolutions indorsed Senator Bur
ton and the balance of the congressional
delegation, and advised a suspension of
judgment until his trial for bribery
takes place; this also did not set well
with the Bailey men. Samuel W. For
against Victor Murdock last year, in
troduced resolution instructing the
congressional delegation for Murdock,
which was turned down by the Hoch
men.
The anti-Bailey crowd have been
claiming Ellis county, but it seems that
they miScalculated. Two years ago the
Ellis county delegation was evenly di-
vided. Ellis has four votes.
The following is from the Atchison
Globe:
Long after, W. j. Bailey has retired
as governor of Kansas. the Globe will
admire him. because he has been a
useful and important citizen of the
state. and because his record is one
IHdI any man might De proud OIL
Long after Ed Hoch is governor, we
will not admire him. We are tired OF
hearing of Hoch as a Good Man. as
though he is the only one in the state.
The howl that he is Good Man is be-
ing used to injure a better one. We
may lack judgment, but we can't ad-
mire this man Hoeh. One of the Truly
Good, he was certainly a Burton man
at Wichita, and certainly admitted his
bad reputation. He accepts the pres
ent movement of certain Republicans
to get even as a compliment to
Hoch. although Hoch is a mere Incl
dent. He backed out. and then backed
in again. and his race for governor
has not been creditable.
Why do the people of this state in
sist on honoring men like ]. B. Bur-
ton and Tom Kelly. and crucifying
decent men like ". ]. Bailey? It's
their business. but they are making a
mistake. The Republican party has
made many mistakes. but it is dis
honorable to hold w. ]. Bailey respon-
sible. 1t was mistake to elect J. r.
Burton United States senator. as his
indictment at ST. Louis demonstrates
but Bailey didn't do it. 1t was a mis-
take to elect Tom Kelly state treas
urer. as his forgeries in Miami county
proved. but Bailey didn't do it. There
were too many employees in the last
legislature, but Bailey didn't employ
them. Taxes are too high, but Bailey
isn't responsible.

Drill Received by
 the Higgins Company
PLACED IN SHAFT YESTERDAY.
 AND STARTS TODAY.
Machine Is Che Purchased From the Arcadian Mining Co.,, of Michigan. and w. c. Lanedon, Who Operates It at That Mine, Win Conduct the Work Here.

The diamond drill machine. pur- chased some time ago by the Higgins Development company of the Arcadian Mining company. of Mici'ga1. arrived yesterday in Bisbee anl was iJnme,,i- ately installed in the main ;haft on the former property. Drilling will commence from the bottom of tie shaft today in a southeriy direction. and before the machine xit,,he remor- ei to a different locality the manage ment intends to sink 2 distar ce of be tween 1 .000 and 1.50o feet.
 William C. Langdon. who operated the drill while it was in use at the Ar cadian mine in Michigan. is here end will have charge of the maciiin'. MT. Langdon arrived in Bisbee Sunday in company with his brother. Jobn Lang. don, and James Butler. Arthur San ders and Jerry Sullivan. The ea:ire party are from the Lax, Superior country, snd are experiences drill mt n as well as miners. They will all be employed at the Higgins pro2H.iy
 The second drill for the higS!ns company. which was purctasej at El Paso. is expected here on an ;ra.h. and will undoubtedly be in operation ct the mine before the 2:l of the present week. IL is inteni Fl b a:a- ton this drill in the 1.i0o-foct G'if:. and at the breast of the drift h9'es will be cut vertically and laterally in ever; direction toward the South.
 Az the ccmpany's board nf directors said in a recent report 5o tho stock holCers. l. is their intention h% nos thorough and careful work tc l; ca , an ore body: and if successful to i'm mediately follow the drill hole with Q shaft This, of course. has refere p to the holes to be punched from the bottom of the main shaft. as it is like ly, if the other holes in the drift should determine the location cf rich depos- its. the ore thus ,cl s5 will be taken out by means of uH';H 'sr1anG wo.i- ings to be planned iafer.
 The company has .iuffi:ient rjcn1y CD hand to carry on the work ccn'em- plated. and even cn a much larger scale than has been outlined. and with its excellent location and the splen- did showings already opened up. this property bids fair to become an i'm portant factor in the production of copper in the Bisbee camp in the near future. The stockholders indeed have every reascn 10 feel elated, over the results thus far obtained. and the bright outlook for the property for the future.

MINERAL ORES WILL TAKE PRE- CADENCE OVER OTHER Ex. hlBiTs, AND WILL BE
 THE FINEST SHOWN
 FROM THE WEST.
Commissioner Packard Tells What the Board Has Been Doine-Mem- bers Doran and Leatherwood Will Leave for St. Louis Early Next Month.

Worlds Fair Commissioner Pack ard. who was here last week, told a Review reporter that everything was practically in readiness for Arizona's s exhibit at the big exposition at St. Louis, which opens on May 1.
 Mir. Packard stated that the com missioaers had devoted much of their time to making a creditable exhibit of Arizona's mineral resources, and that he was prepared to state that Arizo- mas exhibit in this line at St. Louis would surpass that of any other west ern state. Part of this exhibit has already been sent to St. Louis, and the remainder is being now gathered to- gether at Tucson, in the south, and Prescott, in the north.
 The worlds Fair Commissioners are Messrs. Doran, Leatherwood, Packard and St. Clair. Messrs. Doran and Leatherwood have been the most act i've in gathering the exhibit together, and have travelled to all parts of the territory. Mir. Doran was recently in Bisbee, and made arrangements for a ton of ore from this district, not the rich ore, but fair sample of the me Gium grade ore, which has already been shipped to Tucson. Most of this ore was taken from the Copper Queen and the Calumet and Arizona mines.
 MT. Packard also stated that a good space had been allotted Arizona in the Mines and Mining building, and that visitors to St Louis from this territory during the Exposition would have no cause to feel ashamed of Ari- zona's showing of its mineral re- sources.
 MT. Packard stated that the orig inal appropriation by the Arizona leg islature for Arizona's exhibit at the Worlds Fair amounted to s30,0o0; and of this appropriation the commission CTS still hac' on hand about $10.0O0, and the work of gathering the exhibit , had about been completed. The Ari zona building at the Fair grounds has been completed and furnished It is nothing elaborate, but the commis sioners deemed it unwise to put g great deal of money into a building and not have sufficient funds remain ing with which to prepare creditable exhibit.
 MT Packard stated that Messrs. Do ran and Leatherwood would Leave some time next month for St Louis to see that Arizona's exhibits were placed. properly. and would, remain there all through the fair.

Lewis Statement.

That is the statement made by R. Allyn Lewis, vice president of the bank.
 rested in Fl Paso a week ago and ta- ken to Nogales, whither he was going of his own volition, because of the h. ternational Bank failure at that place, is now in the city, free man under $13,000 bail bonds.
 Mir. Lewis expects to be in Tucson three or four days yet and he. says that he will not leave the territory till the International tangle is adjust ed. He talked to the Star at some length on the bank failure and is au- thority for the statement that the final findings of Receiver OHerrara will show the public that the loss through the bank failure will run nowhere near the figures which common report has given as s217 900. He is firm in his belief that depositors will realize fifty cents on the dollar He says that the failure was brought about by bad management, that loans had been made on which the bank would not be able to realize but that there had been no criminal action connected with the losses.
 The loss is accepted by the public as in the neighborhood of SPIT DOG Mir Lewis never knew of the bank having deposits of more than, $115, 5,000 and Of this amount $10O,000 was Mex ican money. For the past two years he had taken no part in the banks management; he claims that he sever al times went to the assistance of the institution in a financial way, fact which the banks of this city and of Los Angeles will know to be true

statement, and that he will be one of the heaviest losers through the failure.
 Mir. Lewis is harsh in his feelings against the press of the territory, papers having come forward with dark records and charges of embezzlement. He says that with all that has been printed against him not one paper in the commonwealth of Arizona has asked him for an interview.-Tucson Star. s.s--- ;-

 And some were too bold Some flaw he was constantly picking. And he often remarked, With a satisfied grin. That this world was devoted To folly and sin 9e derived all his pleasure from kicking.

"ChrO,iCle" on Decision

The supreme court of Nevada yes
terday affirmed the constitutionality
of the eight-hour law passed by the
last legislature. Labor has just cause
to be happy for the highest tribunal
in the state has declared that 1t Is
within the power OF the legislature to
make laws beneficial to mans safety
and health.
The law was framed and passed up
or the assumption that the state Is
bound to have care for the lives and
happiness of those who are engaged
in hazardous occupations. The statute
Is founded on humanitarian principles
Notwithstanding the claims of any one
who might be so prejudiced as to say
1t is class legislation. Similar laws
have been passed upon by the supreme
court of the United States and that
august body has declared them sound
and good.
A victory has been won. Labor In
general. even though 1t may be unor-
ganized in some cases. has been vim
dioated in it's long and righteous strug-
gle. 1t will be the happier for this de-
cision, for 1t has the assurance that
the power of the state is behind 1t in
the matter of reasonable hours. Those
whom the law affects and those who
advocated and fought for the measure
are to be congratulated on the splen-
did victory.
