DU LANEY HELD
 TO GRAND JURY
Legislator IS Bound Over to AwaIt In- vestigalion After Preliminary Hear.

From Aikansas Gszettc.

From Aikansas Gszettc
 A. D. Du Laney, representa- tive from Little River county in the last General Assembly, and candidate for speaker uf the 1ext house, was given a preliminary hearing in Justice Meisner's court yesterday on charge of accepting brbe of $200 for his vote on the bill pending in the last General Assembly to require lo1g distant telephone companies U furnish physical connections to local companies. At the con. ciusion of the hearing, which oc- cupied most oi the day. Justice Meisner bound Du I.aney over to the Pulaski County Grand Jury.
 A new bond for $2, 500 was fur nished, the signers being T. E. Du Laney, Joseph Johnson aud H. A. King.
 The cb ,rge against Du Laney as br. ught out by the states t stimt ny yesterday. was that Du Laney, who had been fr'ent " to the Lill when II was introduced re-eiv, d S20J from H. A. K;zer. m inager of the Kizcr Telephone Company, and later changed his position on the bill, voting as ainst it when it came up for final action in the house. Ac- cordiug to letters introduced in evidence the money given Du Laney was ostensibly in payment for certain real estate sold by him to kizer.
 The defense introduced wit nesses 10 show that this real estate transaction actually o. cured and the money was paid IS the purchase price of the land The deed to the land, which 1t vas claimed figured in the trans action, was produced by the dr- tense and introduced in evidence. An attempt was also made by the lefcnse to how that the prosvcu-
 ion of Du Laney was the result of spite on the part of his politi- C I opponents.

Gen Bader, commander of the garri- son ar~ acting Governor general, is in personal charge of the troops which are so disposed that a renewal of the rioting is considered improbable. The Jews however continue in a state Of panic. As the correspondent passed through the streets sfrewn with wreck age they could be seen hastily barri- cading what was left of their houses Many of them adopted the artifice ot placing ikons or crosses on their doors in order to avert the attacks of the Christians.
 St. Petersburg, June 20.-M Vinayer member of the lower house, Tuesday received the following dispatch from M. Jacobson a member of the com mission sent to Bialystok by tne lower douse of parliament to investigate the Jewish massacres there:
 Order was restored Monday. Seven ty eight Jews and six Christians have oeen buried. The majority Of the dead were killed with bayonets or rife bullets. The total of the dead has uot yet been established A Cossack Mon- day killed a passing Jew. The city council has unanimously decided that the massacre was not the result of race hatred but was due to provoca- ton and the troops and police partici- pated in the outrage. The reports thal Jews and revolutionists attacked the inhabitants are false"
 The massacre of Jews at Bialystok has shocked the country and added to the general excitement and revela- tions which the committee of the low CT house of parliament sent to tn- yestigate the outbreak at Bialystol are expected to make will only add fuel to the flames. Thus far the censor at Bialystok has evidently refused to al low the press correspondents to com ment on the action of authorities.

NUMBER 46
there was any attempt to do so.

there was any attempt to do so.
Cole Of Cass favored the amendment
and Turner Of Cass opposed it on the
ground that the same primary elec-
tlon that sent the delegates to the
state convention nominated men to
the legislature whose business it was
to interpret the will of the voters, and
not the convention to instruct them.
A Mcintosh delegate said the legis-
lators were hired men and must take
orders from the people who elected
them or they would prove poor serv-
ants. If the legislature could show
the people that the law was not good
one, all right, but he wanted the men,
bers of the law making body instructed
on the question.
uRichland county opposed the amend
ment.
The StutSman county delegation
partly favored the amendment and
others did not. Some Of the members
were ready to make trial of any,
thing the people wanted in this law.
The vote taken on the amendment
showed that the friends of extended
law To include state officers and men,
bers Of congress had small majority
in the convention, the result being
236Ifor the amendment and 227 against
or a majority Of 8.
The closing incident of the conven-
tion was the attempt of MN. johnson
Of Nelson county to have the resolu-
tion endorsing congressman Gronna Of
that county stricken out. The con-
vention heard with impatience his
reason which related to some vote of
MI. Gronna, en- thePhilippine tariff bill,
and Mr.. Gronna in few words Show
ed the folly of the criticism and Mr..
Johnson was shut off.
The motion that L. B. Hanna be re.
elected as chairman of the state COM
mittee was carried and the convention
adjourned about l1:30 p. NJ, and many
Of the Cass county visitors left on a
special train at midnight.

(From Wednesdays Daily Alert)


The day preceding the republican
convention finds the city full of visit
ors and most Of the delegates on the
ground. The morning trains and the
trains last night brought in crowds Of
strangers all in good humor and ex-
pecting to have pleasant trip and
attend a representative republican
occasion. The slope delegates started
the bonn for the denomination of Gov.
Sarles, by arriving Tuesday night
with band and about 200 delegates
carried badges with the inscription,
zone good term deserves another"
They marched to the hotels from the
train, and the evidences of Governor
Sarles popularity with the stalwart
faction of the delegates from the
western part OF. the state were over
whelming.
The local committees did every
thing possible to provide rooms and
sleeping places for delegates who were
unable to find accommodations at the
hotels, which are filled with guests to
the limit. Many delegates were placed
in private residences for the night
thus escaping the crowds at the hotels.
The committee on decorations
began work on the streets and opera
house, and the streets showed evil
dences Of the occasion by liberal dis
play Of banners, flags, bunting and
streamers. The main business blocks
from the post office and opera house,t to
the M. F.. church corner, were bright
with decorations, while across the
street were stretched many colored
triangular flags. The hotels and other
buildings had flags hoisted from the
roofs. showing:t that Jamestown appre-
ciated the honor of entertaining the
republicans in convention assembled.
When the entire number of dele
gates and visitors reach here, the at
tendance will exceed that Of any SIM
liar occasion in the state.
During the evening there were ex-
changes of greetings among the visit
ors aud considerable discussion of the
probable nominations and the qualifi-
cations of the candidates. With the
stalwarts there was no opposition
manifest to Gov. Sarles from any
direction, and the expression from the
slope in his behalf reflected the wishes
of the delegates from other parts Of
the state. A number of other state
officers, holding one term, are candi
dates for denomination, and there
seems to be no opposition to renomi-
mating them. .......,...,sy.... .s....
There are contests f6r the offices Of
commissioner of insurance, one of the
railroad commissionerships, one OF the
places on the supreme bench and for
attorney general. The names of Nc
Cue of Darlington, Libby Of Park
River, and Curtis Of Lisbon are mem
toned for attorney general, with the
first named apparently in the lead.
The Grand Forks delegates are fav-#
orable to either Judge Fisk or. Tracy
