TRANSFERS BOLT
TO DEFEAT SHEA
ALBERT YOUNG AND HIS FOLLOW
ERs HOLD A RUMP CON-
vENTloN

Chicago, Aug 8.-The disruption of
the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters was attempted today by
faction delegates to the convention
which has been in progress in Chicago
for three days. In an attempt to de-
pose Cornelius P. Shea, national presi-
dent, Albert Young, who aspires to
succeed Shea, led bolt movement,
and he and his followers, refusing to
attend the regular convention, held a
stumpt session in another hall 1t was
a move decided upon to defeat Shea in
the election, which is set for tomor-
row. Shea in the convention session
held yesterday had showed plainly
that he controlled a majority of the
delegates and his reelection is conced-
ed. Each faction is now making eff
forts to patch up their differences.

SENDS JAPAN SOME IN

FISHERMAN is KILLED
Has No Rights In American Waters
Aim Of Secretary Is to Place Facts
In Hands of the Japanese Govern
ment,

Washington, D. c., Aug S.--Acting
Secretary Of State Bacon has sent to
Ambassador Wright at Toxic the SUBJ
stance Of a dispatch received by the
department of commerce and labor
from Solicitor Sims. at Sitka, Alaska,
regarding the killing of Japanese fish
ermen on st. Paul island. In sending
the dispatch the acting secretary
states that it is forwarded for the pur
pose of giving information such az
this government has of the regretable
incident, news of which may reach
Japan In a distorted form.
No Apology.
There Is no intention of offering any
apology or any further regret than ID
contained in this dispatch as the state
department regards the Japanese fish.
ermen as poachers, If they were with.
in the three mile limit and the dis.
patch from Sims emphasizes this fact.
He states that the American fisher.
men in New Foundland water, If with.
in the three mile limit, would be sub.
ject to arrest by British authorities
and would have no redress as they
would be poachers, the same as the
Japanese, who were killed on st. Paul
island.
No Further Action.
The United States will take no fur
ther active interest in the matter of
the killing of the Japanese poachers,
save that twelve prisoners must be
tried by the United States authorities
and according to the United States
law 1t is not intended to send any
more revenue cutters into the Alaskan
waters, as it is understood that the
ships now there are sufficient to pro.
tect the interests of the citizens of this
government

TIoN OF SENATOR Du-
Bols DEVELOPS

Couer D'Alene, Idaho, Aug. 8-After
a strenuous two days convention, the
democrats of Idaho placed in nomina
tion a ticket and adopted a platform
in which anti-Mormanism is the key
note.
There was no suggestion of opposi.
tion to Dubois nomination for senator
or the nomination of Judge Stockslag.
er for governor. They were accorded
spontaneous demonstrations following
their nominations. Senator Dubois
speech of acceptance was cheered un.
til the rafters rang. He denounced
Mormonism, and declared:

no man in the state of Idaho will have
the temerity to stand on a public plat.
form and defend the hierarchy of Salt
Lake. 1t is indefensible"
Referring to Bryan he said:

DEMONSTRATION
AT CENTERVILLE
PoRTER'S NEIGHBoRS AND
FRIENDS MEET HIM UPON
HIS ARRIVAL
Partisan Lines Are Forgotten by Those
Who Are Rejoicing Over Honor
Conferred Upon the City Through
the Candidate.

Centerville. Aug S.-(SpeciaD-
Honorable Claude R. Porter upon ar
irving home about noon today, was
given great demonstration by his
fellow citizens. He was met by bands
and hundreds of Centerville people,
who are appreciating the honor confer
red by his nomination for the Office OF
governor of Iowa at Waterloo. He was
escorted from the station in parade
led by the band, being followed by
citizens in carriages and automobiles
This was wholly non-partisan dem
onstration, everyone joining in the ap-
probation of the honor he brings to
Centerville. Tomorrow evening the
Elks will celebrate in his honor, and
Friday evening it is expected that a
public reception will be given. The
place for this has not yet been decid-
ed upon, but will probably be on SEN
ator Porter's lawn.
Native Of Appanoose.
Centerville, Aug. s.-(special)-
Claude R. Porter, nominated for gov
ernor on the democratic ticket, was
born in Appanoose county, and among
the people with whom he has asso-
ciated from childhood has been honor
ed by election to the Office of repre-
sentative, state senator and county at
torney, republicans by hundreds being
his most ardent friends and no mat
ter for what Office he has run they
have stood by him. He was never de-
feated till in the Roosevelt landslide
two years ago he lost in the race for
county attorney, though he ran 1000
votes ahead of his ticket He has
never been radically partisan, or Of.
fensive, being very acceptable to re-
publicans generally. He was the only
man in the district that would cause
a republican candidate for congress
4 any concern, and it was recognized
that he would have been a dangerous
antagonist. In local politics the thing
that has most characterized him has
been his stand for the enforcement o.
law, especially the prohibitory law
there being no legal saloons in this
county. When he closed his admins
tration as county attorney every drug
store that had sold illegally under &
permit had been convicted. or surren
dered it's permit, there being neither
saloon nor liquor selling drug stores
in Centerville, city of 1000. He is

Waterloo, Aug. 8.-State Senator
Claude r. Porter of Appanoose county
was chosen yesterday by the demo-
Gratis Of Iowa to run against Governor
Cummins for the governship this fall
All factions, clans, and cliques Of the
party consulted before the nomination
was made and it was agreed that Por-
ter was without doubt the strongest
man who could be put forward for the
position.
All hopes of the Iowa democracy for
overthrowing the immense republican
majority are centered in Porter, who,
it is believed, can draw more votes
from the opposing party than any
other democrat who could be nom
mated.
The platform favors tariff for re.
venue only, the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people, and demands the enactment
of such legislation as will effectually
destroy all trusts.
Favorable to Union Labor.
The platform expresses sympathy
with the purposes of national labor or
ganizations as set forth in recent ad-
dresses by Samuel Gompers, John Nit
chell, and others, calling on labor to
assert it's political rights at the ballot
box.
A resolution was adopted pledging
to William Jennings Bryan the support
of the Iowa democrats for the presi.
dency in 1908.
The first ballot on governor result.
ed:
Claude R. Porter, 262; John D. Den.
nison, 2451a; George w. Ball, 231k;
H. B. Boies, 130; Donald McRae, SO.
The second ballot showed slight
gain for Porter. The name Of McRae
of Council Bluffs was withdrawn after
the second ballot.
The third ballot gave Porter 1888
Dennison 249, Ball 179, Boies 168.
The fourth ballot was started when
Ball withdrew. Porter was then nom
mated, receiving 507 votes, Boies 292
and Dennison 1872.
Dennison Made Running Mate.
| John D. Dennison was nominated for
lieutenant governor by aclamation
Both Porter and Dennison were called
before the convention and spoke brief
ly. Other nominations were made by
acclamation until judges Of the su
preme court were reached. Foul
names were presented, and on roll cal
L. NJ. Fisher of Scott and E. M. Carr
of Delaware were nominated over e
A. Sager of Bremen and E. c. Herricl
of Cherokee.
One ballot was taken on railroad
commissioners.
Summary of Platform.
The platform unanimously adopted
demands legislation to destroy trusts
favors rate regulation in Iowa to give
rates as low as interstate rates, favors
a 2 cent passenger fare, a state prim
ary law that will protect all parties
