Maine, was killed and Chief Master
at Arms T. f. Maddox and Chief Baker
J. Ackerman of the same ship were
wounded, the former probably fatal
sly, by Fred Gutierres, a bleach wa

Gutierres was arrested.
The tragedy grew out of a quarrel
over paying fares. The sailors hao
employed Gutierres to drive them and
a sick shiDmate to Old Point Comfort.
En- route to get the sick man, the driv-
er stopped in front of the Palace
hotel to get a drink. The sailors, anx-
ious to catch the launch out to their
ship, asked the driver to forego his
drink, and an argument over fthe
payment Of the fares then started. Ac-
cording to spectators, Gutierres caught
Walsh by the collar and jerked him out
OF the back door. Alderman and a
soldier named Smith followed. Then

JUSTICE AT ALL HOURS IN NEW
YORK.
PRISONERS ARE MANY
Professional Bondsnen Are Done
Away With-Neariy 200 Cases Are
Tried Up to Midnight While Others
Were Awaiting Arrangement.

New York, Aug. There will be no
languishing in cells on desk lieuten-
ants say SO, or premiums paid to a
professional bondsman on trumped up
arrest cases in this city. From now
on the policeman who makes an ar
rest at any hour of the day or night
will have to bring his prisoner imme-
diately before a magistrate.
New York's first all-night police
court was opened this evening, when
Judge Whitman formally announced
that the night shift of justice was
ready for business. seventy-tWo un
fortunates who had fallen into the
tolls since nightfall peered from the
detention pen.
Heretofore professional bondsmel
have reaped harvest from persons
by keeping them out of Jail for one
night, who were arrested as disorder
". 1t has been alleged that many
such arrests were made without suf
ficient warrant.
On the bench with Judge Whitman
was practically the full board Of city
magistrates. Police Commissions
Bingham, two of his deputies anc
many attorneys also attended the ses
sions, the formal hours OF which will
be from 9 p. m. to a. m. 1t is ex
pected that other night courts will bt
required to handle the after dark bus
mess.
An interesting development tonigh
was the discovery that the coming t,
court of patrolmen left many beats
unprotected. One section, where 80
900 families are housed, was lef
without policeman while its sever
night officers took their prisoners Y
court
When adjournment for lunch wa
taken at midnight 16S cases had beel
disposed of any 35 prisoners wer
awaiting arraignment.

BABES FOR PROTECTION
Miners Carry Infants With Them to Their
Work in the Mines,

Duluth, Mimi, Aug, 1.-Workingmen
employed at Fayat mine today carried
: babies in their arms when on their
way to work The infants were kept
at the mines all day by the men as a
source of protection against any pos
sible violence. 1t was apparently
their belief that the strikers, or any
one else, would not attempt to do any
harm while the children were in the
danger zone. The mothers of the chill
dren met the fathers and babies when
the day was over.
Although hundreds Of men are go
ing to work daily, they cannot be per-
suaded that the police protection fur
nished is adequate in the case and
some of them are very much fright
ened. The city is apparently on the
verge of the worst trouble of the
strike, if rumors are to be believed.
One working day has passed since
operations began on the range follow.

The, industrial Sky over the range is
not cloudless, however, for the sullen
attitude of the followers Of the West
ern Federation of Miners indicates an
attitude of desperation which was so
intensified by vitriolic address last
night by Petriella, who advocated the
use of guns to maintain what he said
was their right to sell their labor
where they could at the best advant-
age.
The steel corporation officials are
carrying out the wishes OF Governor
Johnson in the manner in which they
are resuming operations. They are op-
Grating the mines one at time and
gradually resuming work with as
many men as they can get to go to
work. All the old men will be given
an opportunity to return to work with,
out discrimination and with the guar
antee of being protected by the forces
at the sheriff's command.
Reports received here today indicate
that mining operations were resumed
heavily in both Hibbing and Eveleth.

The first enthusiasm ELECTED by the
convention was for Secretary of War

words, Hear Taft at Oklahoma City

the stage and when the delegates spied
it they cheered Justify.
Before the convention was called to
order the time was spent in singing
patriotic airs. The delegates and Wis

suggested .Dixie.' In a moment some
one interposed I'VE want no Dixie
here; this is not a Dixie convention.
Delegates near enough to the plat
form to catch the sentiment applaud
ed it.
The convention was called to order
shortly before noon by State Chair
man Hammer.
Congressman Mcclure brought the
convention to it's feet by suggesting

GoWan Of Snyder, Okla, in a speech
attempted to argue against the nam
ing of ticket for the rejection of the
constitution. He had captured the
convention with mis- eloquence and
finally declared that the party could
not afford to name a ticket under the
new constitution The delegates were
on their feet for moment, but the
friends of Governor Frantz, who fa-
vors the naming of a ticket, soon rea-
lized what they believed was a trap
laid to stampede the convention
against Frantz. Then disorder ruled
the gathering. Delegates hissed and
yelled for MCGOWAN to sit down. The
speaker attempted to strike his re
marks out, but the convention was
against him. The chairman tried to
quiet the delegates, but without avail
Delegates rushed to the platform and
| threatened, but the speaker held to
his ground.
Il don't know whether Frantz woul;l
swear to support that constitution or
not howled MCGOWAN, "but we have
! had governors who would not do it.
At this point Frank Rush of Black
burn carried Pawnee county Frantz
banner to the platform and jumped to
a press table. The delegates, wildly
excited, sprang to their feet, shouting
for Frantz and a state ticket. Logan
county joined its Frantz banner will
PaWnee. Delegates left their seats
and joined in the rush. Policemen
went to the stage to prevent trouble
but the affair was too one sided fol
the beaten minority to lift its hand
Order was finally restored amid grea1
cheering.
