number Of strikers this evening at
tempted to prevent the funeral of the
infant daughter of ]. s. Stuart, non

POLYGAMY
Is Troubling the Idaho
Democrats

Boise, Idaho, Aug. 22.-Further de.
fection occurred today in the ranks
of the Idaho Democracy on account of
objection to the anti-polygamy plank
in the platform adopted by the recent
state convention. w. II. Stufflebeam,
Democratic nominee for state auditor,
today withdrew from the ticket, as
signing for a reason pressure of pri.
vate business, but in view of the fact
that he comes from Mormon locality
his opposition to the anti-Mormon
movement is believed to be the real
cause of his withdrawal.
Both of the candidates for congress
nominated by the state convention
have already withdrawn and Attorney
General Stufflebeam's action seems to
indicate that the party in Idaho is in
a bad way on account of its anti-polyg.
amy attitude.

here to pay attention and address their
letters to Assistant Attorney Marx,
threatening his life and the lives OF
all those who have been associated
with him in the prosecution Of the Ital-
ians responsible for the widespread
naturalization frauds. His activity has
resulted in the arrest and sending
away of dozens of Italians. There are
many cases pending. and detectives
are at work on others. The Italians
who have been concerned in the fraud
are in state Of panic over the situa-
ton. The so-called Black Hand, how
ever, has never sent threatening let
ter to an American or government
official before"
