ity of the measure granting power to
the interstate commerce commission
to fix rates caused a discussion that
prevented the completion of the bill

There were six witnesses besides the principals in the room and all agree that the men were the best of friends and were planning a trip to Mexico together The court administered a lecture to Morales for not using ordinary horse sense in the handling of a gun. then dismissed him. Moreno was doing well yesterday and it is thought he will make a complete and early recovery.

AN IMPORTED CASE
 ASSAULT AND BATTERY
It Started in Glendale and Ended in
 Justice Burnett's Court.

An assault and battery case into which a great deal of extraneous mat ter was introduced was tried before Justice Burnett yesterday after1 oon. There was only one point conc e-ning which there was a difference of tes- timony, and that had nothing what ever to do with the case. The de- fendant was A. Gaxiola, a resident of Glendale, and the prosecuting witness was Thomas COrdova.
 COrdova had found himself at the saloon of Pedro G. De La Lama st Glendale without means of getting home. He also found himself without means of getting a drink But he had a watch which he put up for $5 and later got $2 more of the proprietor on it.
 When he got ready to start home he hired a team for $4, de La Lama to stand good for the livery bill. Gaxiola was sent along with the team and to collect the price for it on his arrival in Phoenix. Here is where the only difference in testimony came in. De La Lama said that CordoVa had the money in his pocket when he left Glendale. He had recently given it to him for his watch. The court asked him why he did not hold out the price of the livery team then. The answer was not satisfactory, but anyway it would not have made any difference. | The court had merely asked it out of curiosity. Cordova said that he had no money. It was true that ne had re- ceived seven dollars on the watch but | it had gone over the bar
 When CordoVa and Gaxiola arrived ] in town they went to the resort of Jes- us Baldenegro in the old block and af- ter a while GaxioIa asked for the liv- cry hire. Cordova had no money and said so. Gaxiola called him a name and he called Gaxiola one. The latter then struck the only blow of the fight but it did the business for COrdova went down.
 | At this point Jesus Miranda interfer ed and conducted Cordova to an off cer who locked him up. A warrant was later sworn out for him in Jus Itice JOhnstone's court where it was of terwards found that he had commit ted no offense and was discharged. In the meantime Gaxiola was arrested land yesterday he was tried in Justice Burnett's court. He admitted all the facts as to the assault but said in eXtenuation that he knew of no other
 way to collect the bill. The court told him that that was not an authorized
 way and fined him $7. He acted as if
 he intended to go to jail but at the
 last moment de La Lama put up the money. He then felt at liberty to tell
 the court that it had made a mistake in paying any attention to q man of
 the degraded character of Miranda and
 he further spoke slightingly of all the
 deputy sheriffs, This brought upon
 him the wrath of Officer Mejia and for
 a moment it looked as if preparation
 was being made to hold a seat sale.
 The court ordered the discussion out
 into the alley and it was allowed to
 eXpend itself in wind.
 Complaint was made against Miriam
 da, charging him with impersOnating
 an officer in the arrest of Gaxiola. He
 denied that he had said that he was
 an oliver but that he told GaxiOla
 that ne intended to take him to an
 officer.

TUCKED SHIRT WAIST 5218.

Such shirt waist as this one is very generally be- coming and is particularly well liked for fiannels and other materials of colder weather although it can be utilized for washable ones with perfect success. The yoke is cut on becoming lines and the plain back and tucked fronts combine most satisfactorily, while the box plait at the front gives the unbroken line that is always desir- able at that point The sleeves are quite novel with deep cuffs that are tucked diagonally and closed by means of ornamental buttons and loops. h this case dark red French flannel is stitched with belding silk and made over the fitted lining, but all the sea sons waistfngs are appropriate and the lining can be used Or omitted as indi vidual preference may decide.

JASPER FOR CUMMINs
First Returns from the c;aucuses lndi-
cate That the People of Jasper coun-
ty Have Turned Down Blythe and
His Rol-Four Precincts Are Pro.

Special to Times Republican.
Newton, June 1.-Colfax held its
primaries last night and elected a solid
delegation to the county convention
favorable to Governor Cllmmins. Cum
Minis carried all three wards, having a
majority in all three, altho the vote
in the second was close. This giv.s
him nineteen delegates to the conven-
ton. He will also have the fourth
ward. which will give him twenty-sev-
en- delegates in all from Colfax Cau-
cuses were also held in Mount Prairie
township last night and Cummins car
ried it 70 to IS, giving Cummins eight
more delegates, or thirty-five already
assured. The victory at Mound Prairie
is regarded as very significant, as the
precinct is made up largely of miners
and the standpatters had made a
strong effort to line up the miners
against Cummins, but this failed. The
precinct was regarded as Perkins ter
ritory and the standpat leader had
boasted he would be able to deliver the
delegation to Perkins. lit is said to be
the first time in 80 years that he ever
was defeated. 1t takes ninety-three
delegates to control the county con-
vention and with the lead obtained by
Cummins it is believed he will easily
carry Jasper county and secure an in
structed delegat tion.

authority that in certa &: ounty Of
Iowa delegates actually \ owed the
checks they had received . n the rail-
road politicians and adr :. d that they
had received the money to induce them
to vote the railroad ticket. The man
who paid them also openly boasted
that he had secured the convention by
paying for it in hard cash and there
fore he was determined upon having
it. In another county one who sudden
ly changed and came ont for the
Blythe ticket declared with confidence
to his friends that he was going to be
made a deputy United States marshal.
But bulldozing tactics are resorted to
wherever that is possible. In the towns
where railroad men predominant
emissaries have been sent to demand
that the railroad men vote the railroad
ticket under pain of losing their jobs.
This is the first time this has been at
tempted for a long time, and in many
cases ii fails to work. But the bosses
have decreed that the bulldozing tao
tics shall be resorted to in all cases
where it will do good to their cause.
The excuse given by some of the
Perkins men here for having turned
their campaign over to one who was
convicted of trying to improperly in
tluence jury in district court, is that
it became necessary for Will Parrott
20 go to his home and see to it that
Black Hawk county is delivered. But
the real reason is that they desired to
make use of methods in the campaign
not unlike that by which the corpora
tions of Des Moines had SO long been
able to secure favorable verdicts in the
district courts regardless of the char
acter of the evidence. They have
shown this by starting ont on cam
paign of bribery and purchase of vot-
ers. But Parrott had guaranteed to
deliver Black Hawk for Julian Rich
ards and the railroads for certain
sum of money. He is trying to make
good Much use was to be made of the
argument that taxation Is too high and
appropriations have been too large in
recent years. This argument failed to
arouse much enthusiasm in the vicin-
ity of the State Normal school. which
has greatly prospered in recent years.
Then they tried the tact of starting
the story that the governor instigated
the movement to establ sh single
board of regents for the institutions;
but this was punctured when evidence
came to the front that the governor has
been opposed to this at all times AS
last resort the conference was held
in Chicago last Sunday with the rail-
road men and plans laid 20 capture the
entire railroad vote for Perkins.

Washington, June There are but
eleven amendments in the railroad rate
bill yet to be disposed of by the con-
ferees of the senate and house Twen-
ty amendments disposed of was the
record of the two sessions Of the con-
ference committee yesterday.
OF the amendments considered the
senate has receded on but three, while
the house conferees have accepted
thirty-nine. Those on which the SEN
ate has receded are all of miner inpor-
tance and are regarded us not affect
ing the bill in any way.
The amendments still in dispute in
clude the express company am sndment,
those relating to oil and the, owner

was SO rapid at the afternoon session,
however, that the evening session was

shortly after o'clock.
The prediction was confidently made
that a complete agreement will be
reached on the measure today. The
conferees met at 10 o'clock.

are made on the ground, but in case
of large sales, the application is for
warded to Washington, and the forest
bureau here issues the advertisement
for sealed bids Forest officials say
that experience shows that the small
bidders enter into the competition for
this timber just as eagerly as the large
lumber companies. and that the small
bidder gets the timber as often as the
big fellow, and that monopolization is
forestalled Speculation Is made inn
possible by the requirement that the
timber shall be removed within spec

cut is large, the successful bidder is
required TO cut and remove certain
proportion each season.

Under these conditions single sale
of 50,000.000 feet of lodgepole pine for

that 165,OOo.0o0 feet of lodgepole pine
can be taken from one watershed in the

leaving a large percentage for future
crops.
Forest service officials estimate the
value of the timber in forest reserves
at $250,000,000, and say that the cost
of administration is less than one third
of l per cent of this value, while an
annual increase of 10 per cent in valua-
tion is taking place by reason of the
care being given the reserves under the

Washington, June by vote Of
privileges and elections voted that
Senator Smoot is not entitled to his
seat The committee voted unani-
mously to have vote in the senate at
this session.
The decision rfeached was on th6
Dubois resolution, which was carried
Bailey, Dubois and F'rasier voting in
the affirmative; Foraker, Dillingham;,
Hopkins, Beveridge and Knox in the
negative. The vote of Depew was not
cast.
Votes were had on constitutional
questions of expulsion and exclusion,
n1ittee expressed themselves in favor
of a vote in the senate at the present
session of congress.
A resolution on the subject OF expul-
sion was offered by Foraker as test
of the question whether Smoot should
be ousted from his seat by a majority
vote or whether by two-thirds vote
he shall be expelled from his seat.
The resolution was lost to 5.
Bailey then offered a resolution de-
claring the sense of the committee to
be that Slnoot should be expelled from
his seat, which would be a recomm end
alton to take the course requiring q
two thirds vote of the senate to unseat
him. The result was tie vote.
The debate during the deliberation
was indulged in by nearly every sem
ator. That devoted to the national
question of expulsion or exclusion was
the most heated.
The effect of the resolution if adopt
ed would be to place squarely before
the senate the question of whether
Smoot shall continue in his seat and
leave to that body the decision as to
the method of procedure. A majority.
it is said can declare THAT it is the--
sense of the senate that Smoot be ex-
cluded, and under that form Of resolu-
ton proceed to unseat him by that
method.
