One OF the most exciting county con-
ventions ever held In the history Of Mes
Perce county politics occurred at the
republican county convention at the
court house this afternoon. Chairman
@. W. Thompson opened the convention
and addressed the delegates at length
on the virtues OF the republican party.
He defended his position with relation
TO the Clearwater boom bills which he
stated he had been misquoted on. He
stated that 1t was false that he was in
terested in either OF the bills ana that
he only had the interests Of the county
and state at heart.
He then read the call and called for
nominations for temporary chairman.
He recognized r. r. Mcfarland as no0r
leader Of the Thompson forces who
placed in nomination p. E. StoOkey.
The motion was seconded by E. A.
White after which Mr.. Mcfarland
moved that nominations be closed. Mr..
Thompson put both motions at once
and refused to recognize Geo. O. Farr
of Culdesac who was placing the name
Of C. d. Thomas In nomination. After
receiving few faint ayes and a
thunder Of noes he declared 6tookey
elected and ordered him to take the
chair. The scene became critical. The

GAMBLING IN DIES MONIES.

Des Moines, March 14.-In arrogant
violation Of law and without any re-
striction or restraint whatever, two
big policy" gambling houses have for
weeks been conducting their nefarious
business with most amazing boldness.
The promoters Of these games are
taking from the people hundreds of
dollars every day, while the prizes
they give out at their drawings four
times daily are virtually insignificant
in comparison. They are brazenly ad-
vertising their game on every hand.

halls, bowling alleys, drug stores.

into department stores, restaurants
and hotel Hobbies, into business
blocks, and wherever men and wo-

For a month, the Des Moines Policy

gambling institution has prospsred in
Des Moines in the city's history. The
proprietors have conducted the bust

every public place under the very

CHIEF Of POLICE
SEVERELY SCORED
Des Moines Judge Charges the
Chief With Ignoring
the Law.
SAYS He SMILES AT CRIME
Primary Election Case Has Sensa-
tional Ending in the Police Judges
Court. and Chief of Police Brack-
EFT Is Found Guilty.

Des Moines, March 11.-Poliee
Judge Silvara yesterday afternoon
capped the climax of his long con.
tinued attacks upon the official con-
duct of Chief of Police Bracket in
one of the most severe arrangements a
police officer has ever been subjected
j. to.
At the conclusion OF his trial Of the
chief Of police for ejecting Hull men
from the city hall precinct during the
counting Of the vote in the recent re-
publican primaries, Judge Silvara de.
clared that in the two years admins
tratiOn of Fred Bracket as chief OF
police. wide open gambling has been
carried on in Des Moines without even
the pretense of concealment from the
police department; that prostitution
has been smiled at, and lawlessness
has reigned supreme: that the head OF
the police has not been a man VINO
has given his energies for the protec'
ton of the better class of society;
that he has been a man who Is not
as familiar with the law and the
method of its operation as are his sub
ordinates.
The circumstances under which this
invective was delivered were extraor'
binary. Chief Bracket was on trial
before Judge Silvara for an alleged
offense committed in part against the
Judge himself and on an information
in which the judge was largely inter
ested as a prosecutor. The efforts oil
the chief Of police to get hearing be-
fore some disinterested judge were I'M
availing and he refused to submit any
evidence.
When the prosecution had finished
its presentation and the arguments
mad been made, Judge Silvara ruled
that Chief of Police Bracket was
guilty of doing a disorderly act when
he ordered officers to eject II. D.

Starkey and Judge Silvara from the
basement of the city hall on February

fined him 500 and costs. Brackets

their lives, their bodies and clothes
being badly burned.
The men were employed on the
Pennsylvania railroad improvements

One Of the cars, in which twenty.
six men were carried, contained fye
barrels OF gasoline AMI lighting mater
iaIs to be used for night work. The
men were nearly all asleep, when one
of them struck match to light a
pipe.
A spark must have landed on the
barrel, for in an instant the interior
of the car was a fiery furnace.
The men, awakened by the intense
heat, could not at once realize their
situation. There was scramble to
get out but four were unsuccessful.
They were .trampled on by the others,

BoMsARDMENT OF MARCH 10.
Japanese Advices Declare II a jap.
anese Victory,

Toxic. March 14.-Oficial and pri-
Fate reports both indicate that Admit
raj Togo's fourth attack on Port Ar
thur on the 10th instant was the most
effective since the first assault of a
month ago. One Russian torpedo boat
destroyer was sunk and several Rus
sian torpedo boat destroyers serious
ly damaged. The Notifications and
city were subjected to heavy bonn
bardment lasting nearly four hours.
The naval bombardments of the land
works have generally been ineffective,
yet the peculiar typographical condi-
tons Of Port Arthur make immunity
from serious loss from bombardment
almost impossible. Admiral Togo's
torpedo flotilla opened the action by
boldly steaming in under the batter
les and successfully placing a number
Of mechanical mines at the mouth of
the harbor. Following that there was
q desperate bow to bow encounter be-
tween the torpedo boat destroyers in
which the Japanese appear to have
scored a clear victory. Then followed
O. long range duel between the cruis-
ers, ending in the retirement OF the
Novik and Bayan, the only Russians
engage.
The closing action was the bonn
bardment of the inner harbor by the
Japanese battleships. The latter took
a position southwest of Port Arthur
and used only their 12-inch guns.
There were twenty-four 12-inch guns
in the squadron of six battleships and
each gun fred five rounds, making a
total of 100 huge projectiles that were
fired ct the city. The bombardment
was deliberate and carefully planned.
In order to aid In perfecting the mr."
ing. Admiral Togo stationed the
cruisers in a position due east or the
entrance to the harbor and at right
angle to the battleships. The cruisers
observed the range and effect OF the
firing and signalled the results and
suggestions by wireless telegraphy
These observations and reports great
ly aided the gunners in the effort to
make every shot count.
Admiral Togo was unable to def
nitely learn the results of the bon,'
bardment. but later private reports in
dictate that much distinctions was
caused in the city, where a series OF
fires broke out. There was also dam

MUST OBSERVE NEUTRALITY.
President Roosevelt Issues an Execu
tive Order.

tive Crder. ...-.
Washington, March 11.-President
Roosevelt after conference with Sec.
rotary Hay, issued the following exc.
cutive order respecting the observance
of the proclamation recently promul.
gated declaring the neutrality of the
United States between Russia and
Japan, the two combatent nations in,
the far eastern war now in progress:
"All ol.cials of the government,
civil. military and naval. are hereby
directed not only to observe the pres.
ident's proclamation of neutrality in
the pending war between Russia and
Japan, but also to abstain from eth
er action or speech which can legita.
mately cause irritation to either Of
the combatents. The government
of the United States represents the
people of the United States not only
in the sincerity with which 1t is en-.
deavoring to keep the scales or neu.
trality exact and even, butiin the sim
cerity with which it deplores the
breaking out the present war, and
hopes that it will end at the earliest
possible moment and with the small
est possible loss to those engaged.
Such a war inevitably increases and
infiames the susceptlDilities of the
combatents to anything in the nature
of an injury or slight by outsiders.
"Too often combatents make con.
flicting claims as to the duties and OBJ
legations of neutrals so that even
when discharging these duties and OBJ
legations with scrupulous care 1t is
difficult to avoid giving offense to one
or the other party. To sucn unavoid-
able causes of offense, due to the per-
lormance of national duty, there must
not be added any avOidable causes. 1t
is always unfortunate to bring old
world antipathies and jealousies into
our life or by speech or conduct to eX-
cite anger and resentment toward our
nation in friendly foreign lands; but
in a government employe, whose Off
cfal position makes him in some sense
the representative of the people the
mischief of such action is greatly III
creased. A strong and self-contident
nation should be peculiarly careful
not only of the rights but of the sus-
capabilities of its neighbors; and now
adays all of the nations of the world
are neighbors one to the other. Cour-
tesy, moderation and self-restraint
should mark international, no less
than private, intercourse.
"All the officials of the government,
civil military and naval, are expected
so to carry themselves both in act and
tense to the people of any foreign and
in deed as to give no cause of just Of
friendly power-and with all mankind
we are now on friendship.

BINDING TWiNE IN PRISONS.
Legislative Committee Submits Its
Report.

Des MOines, March 1.-THE com.
mittee appointed to consider the ad-
visibility of erecting and maintaining
at the penitentiaries of Iowa a plant
for the manufacture of binding Irvine,
submitted their report to the legisla-
ture yesterday morning favoring such
action. Such plant will give employ
ment to 200 prisoners whose work Will
be worth $500 day to the state. The
work will not come in competition
with outside labor in the state. The
buildings can be erected by the con.
vets at small cost. There will result
from the manufacture of Irvine and its
sale saving of 100000 a year to the
farmers of the state.
The recommendation strikes at the
International Harvester Co, as hav
ing destroyed honest competition In
the manufacture and sale of binding
| Irvine.
The committee is opposed to the
working of convict labor on the high,
ways of the state.
