REPUBLICANS QUARREL
OVER STATE LEADERSHIP
BY Associa ted Press.

DAYTON, Ohio, Sept. 12.-In what
has been for years the "off year" in
state elections the Republicans of Ohio
today held one of the hottest conven-
tions in the history of the party in this
state.
Ard still more remarkable was 1t for
the fact that the contest was not over
the nomination of candidates for state
officers for which the convention had
been called, but over the selection of the
state executive committee. involving
the state leadership of United States
Senator Dick.
The senator won not only on this
proposition but also on the question of
the Endorsement Of his work and that
of Senator Foraker in the United States
senate the Republicans having taken
the position that in view of the fact
that the senators had not entirely
agreed with the policy of President
Roosevelt on national Legislation 1t
would be inconsistent to give an in
dorsement of equal force to both the
president and the two senators.

OCEAN PARK, Sept. 12.-The an
nouncement that C. Van Court of Los
Angeles has made complaint to the
postoffice authorities at Washington
concerning the treatment he received
at the local postofflce from Postmaster
l. e. Meigs, who he claims refused to
give him mail because he applied for it
in bathing costume, has aroused in
terest here.
The postmaster, who is q veteran of
the Civil War and although blunt in his
views nevertheless popular citizen
here, made the rule effective early in
the summer when the vanguard of
vacationiSts would loiter about the
postoffice in dripping wet bathing suits
during the distribution of mails,
This, the postmaster says. resulted in
puddles all over the floor, which was as
objectionab to other patrons of the
office as it was to himself and his en-
ployes.
1t is not thought here that Mr.. Meigs
will be reproved for taking the action
that has caused the alleged complaint.
Anyway, the postmaster is not wor-
rying," said an attache. He has the
backing of the community and the SOL
dier vote

nurse.

PASADENA, Sept. t2,--John Dixon,
.arrested last night for selling liquor at
luny and all hours in his restaurant on
NORTH Fair oaks avenue this morning
pleaded guilty and was sentenced by
Police Judge Mcdonald to the longest
term ever served In the present city

The police made the case city In
stead of county one, as tho arrest
was under the city ordinance and not

demanded a jury trial, but later
changed his mind.
Some two months ago this same of
fender was arrested on q similar charge
and both he and his helper were fined

at that time and paid the fines. This
time only Dixon was arrested and he
was fined $780, with the alternative of
ninety days in the city Jail, the maxi
mum under tie ordinance
Dixon's friends are attempting this
evening to get the money together but
have not as yet been able to do so, and
1t looks very much as though the
restaurant man would have to put in
the next three months with Chief of
Police Pinkham, who made the arrest.
Dixon announced this evening that
If negro is put in the Jail tank with
him there will be trouble. The res
taurant man is native of Kentucky
and has all the race feeling of that Sec
ton. He also states that he proposes
to serve out his time, as the pay is $100
