LIQUOR MEN MEET
INTOxIcATIoN SHOULD RE CONsID-
 FRED 4 CRIME.
Resolutions Declare fin Favor of Tenn pernnce md Obedience to the Law Is EndOrscd--Conven-
 tion in Bouisyflla.

Louisville, Ky, June 5.--The Nation al Liqucr Dealers Association. which opened its annual convention today, is- sued an address to the people of the United States in which the belief of it's memherssin temperance Is expressed, obedience to the law Is endorsed; the work of the various temperance socie- ties Is commended and the statement is made that intoxication should be con sidered crime The address says in part:
 From tine to time during the past seventy five years waves of public sentiment antagonistic 10 the sale of ale ohoiic beverages have passed over this country, leaving in their train State. county and municipal legislation of a more or less drastic character legisl ltion entirely out of sympathy with the spirit of American institutions -legislatlon that would he bound to fail of It's purpose practically in every instance--and this because the senti- ment that compelled 1t was sentiment engendered by agitation and totally un- ripe for its enforcement.
 Experience has shown that when man votes for prohibition it is inva- riably for the benefit of others and not for himself, for 10 man seems to re- ally believe that society can or wishes to live more wisely than he can order 1t, and all prohibitory laws, be they passed by the people of Maine, Kan sas or Iowa, have in each and every case become dead letters on the statute books, demoralizing to order destruet- i've of revenue and at war with con- mon sense and good citizenship.
 '"The white ribbon movement, the blue ribbon movement, the prohibition movement and the antt-saloon league movement were, or are, protests on the part of the good men and women against two of the greatest evils con nected without civilization-drunke ness and to those saloons which are conducted in a disreputable manner or else in such a way as to demOralize rather than to elevate those who pat roniZe them-and we, the delegates to this convention of the Wine and Spirit sympathy with the efforts that have and our willingness to lend co-opera- ton and assistance.
 We believe that wines and spirits are blessings per SC intended by an allwise Providence to bring health and happiness to mankind
 We believe that the legitimate man ufacture and sale Of wines and spirits Is an honorable trade and one that should be respected by society and by the laws.
 We believe that the saloon and cafe can and should be SO conducted that men would not hesitate to visit them accompanied by their wives and chill dren and that the atmosphere Of such places should be beneficial to both mind and body"

STATEMENT OF JUNTA.
Say They Did Not Attempt to Incfte
 Revolution

St. Louis. Jnue 5.-Members of the Junta of the Megican Liberal party who say they believe they are the persons accused by United states Ambassador Thompson of having melted the strike at the Greene Consolidated Copper Mines at Cananea. Megico. were found today at 2s45 Lafayette Avenue. where they are publishing a paper call ed Regeneration. Antonio I. villareal. secretary of the Junta Is in charge of the headquarters.
 We did not know that any one in St. Louis knew where we were," said Vfllareal. Still. we are not afraid. They say we have tried to incite a revolution. That Is not true. We have simply been printing the truth about the conditions at the Green Mines at Cananea.
 We have been calling attention to the evils which are following the in vasion of the Yankees into Megico. We have been calling attention to the fact that the mining company pays Ameri- can workmen s5 a day and pays Mebi- cans only $2.50 a day. We have been making a fight for square deal for the Mexican laborers and we will con- tinue the fight
 This is purely a labor fight not a revolution. so far a swe are concerned. Our great purpose Is to overthrow Diaz. We shall not depart from that purpose until the work is accomplish ed. But we do not hold ourselves re- sponsible for the riot and bloodshed. We have nothing to fear. If they want us. they will find us here. We are ready and we will fight"

DEMOCRATS
 IN TURMOIL Arkansas Convention in Uproar. JERRY SMITH CAUSES TROUBLE Made Charges Against Little Rock
 Delegation. No Test Has Yet Been Made Of Strength Of Jen Davis And Sem ator Berry--Numerous Contests.
JERRY SMITH CAUSES TROUBLE

Hot Springs, Ark. June 5-The Dem ocratic State convention convened to- l day at 10:30 o'clock and after a stormy session effected only a temporary or ganization. with Judge J. W. Evans. | of Bonneville. chairman, and Hugh Cor ry of Texarkana, secretary For two hours during the afternoon while plans were on foot for the tenn porary organization, pandemonium reigned. One speaker after another was recognized only to be howied down with the spectators in the boxes and balconies taking part in the demon- stration
 An accusation made by Hon. Jerry Smith against the Pulaski county del ogation was the cause of the trouble MT. Smith stated that two years ago the Pulaski county delegation pulled off their badges and stamped them, then left the hall because they were not allowed to dictate the policy of the convention.
 Immediately delegates Cockrell, Hicks and Williams of Little Rock were on their feet with clinched fists shaking them at the speaker and in loud voices denying the accusation. It was then that the convention became un- controllable and not until Congressman McRae appeared on the platform was any one allowed to be heard. Adjurn- ment until tomorrow morning at g o'clock followed shortly.
 Many Contests Today,
 Indications tonight are that several contests yet unannounced will appear in the convention. one for the senato- rial nomination not being improbable. What was supposed would result in test vote of the strength of Cover nor Davis and Senator Berry today developed Into nothing more than a test of the strength of John s. Little, who will be the nominee for governor. Senator Berry declined to announce any plans or state the position he will take while Governor Davis Is a very busy man counselllng with his lieu tenants and looking to his interests. Congressman Charles c. Reid of Morrillton, a man whom both sides have agreed would be satisfactory has been decided upon as permanent chair men.
 Tonight the credentials committee has under consideration the contests in Cross and Izard counties.

 Senator Foraker returned to his con- tention that the rate bill was not nec- essary legislation hut that all that was req Site was to strengthen the Flkins l1 He quoted recent decisiouof of the F~ sral Corut in Wisconsin in tsse mat ter of refrigerator cars putting an end to all devices for rebates on account of such cars and holding that rail- roads must hold strictly to their pub lished tariffs. Tn view of this decision we have no more use for this 1egisla- ton than a wagon has of five wheels he said.
 The matter was stilI under consider ation when the Senate adjourned.
