MRS. THOS. GORE WAS
A GUEST OF HONOR

Oklahoma City, Okla, June 1S.-
Two thousand delegates from the two
territories met here today to aid the
territorial central committee in rati-
flying the nominations and canvassing
the vote of the democratic state pri-
maries, which were held on June 8.
The official returns show that c. y.
Haskell, of Muskogee, /. T., was NOM
mated for governor over Lee Cruce,
Of Ardmore, l. II. T. p. Gore, of
Lawton, blind for many years but
one of the new states brilliant men,
and Robert L. owen, Of Muskogee,
were the nominees for United States
senators.
William j. Bryan addressed the
meeting this afternoon.
Cores Faithful Wife.
Senator Groe's wire has literally
been her husbands eyes" for years.
She reads daily papers, magazines,
science and law books, and other
works TO him and constantly ac-'
companies him on his frequent trips
over the new state.
He has been the leading public
speaker in Oklahoma for many years
and at one time served as a terri
torial senator, making a good rec
ord.
1t was largely due TO his plucky
wife and the public's knowledge that
her husband owed his success and
brilliance to her as we'll as to his
own perseverance despite affiiction,
that he was nominated. She was
the guest of honor at today's ratifi-
cation.

NELL INVESTIGATES
TELEGRAPHERS'
TROUBLES
New York Operators Claim
Western Union and Postal
Did Not Fulfill Promises.
ONLY FAVORED FEW
RECEIVE INCREASE

New York, June 1S.-Charles P.
Neill, United States labor commits
sioner, Is expected to arrive in New
York today to investigate the threat
ened strike of the telegraphers
against the Western Union and Pos
tai companies.
1t is said that Neill will hear both
sides and report to President Roose-
welt at once.
The telegraphers contend that only
a few favorites received the ten per
cent salary increase the companies
promised to give March l, while more
than ninety per cent of the men are
getting less money than they received
before that date.
Discrimination Apparent.
The grievances of the telegraphers
are now being considered by the two
companies but it is not likely that
any settlement will be made. Should
this prove to be the case, a strike
will be called within the next few
days.
There seems little doubt, from the
figures shown by the union men, that
the big companies have Disseminated
unfairly against the many employees
In favor of the few.

CHAIRMAN BARS ALL
POLITICS FROM L
MEETING
Public Lands Convention VIII
Discuss Questions Pertain
ing to Subject Only.
NEW MEXICO is
WELL REPRESENTED

Denver, Colo, June 1S.-The pub
lie lands convention organized this
morning with Senator Thomas H
Carter as temporary chairman.
Senator Carter made an address in
which he said that partisan politics
must be kept from the convention
but otherwise every delegate should
have the widest latitude in expressing
his opinion.
Representatives of Government Pres
ent.
He said that several representa-
tves of the national government were
present, including Secretary of the In
terror Garfield and Clifford Pinchot,
head of the forestry department.
These men were ready to explain
any policy Of the government in re-
gard to public lands in which the
convention might be interested" said
Senator Carter.
After appointing committees on or.
ganization the convention took a re-
cess until this afternoon.
Well Represented.
New Mexico is well represented, a
number of delegates being present,
principally from Albuquerque, Santa
Fe and Las Vegas.
Arizona also has a fair representa-
ton in the convention.
Newell is Positive.
f. II. Newell, in outlining Presi-
dent Roosevelt's attitude toward the
convention this morning, said
The presidents whole policy is to
secure bona fide settlement of home
seekers on the public lands.
He realizes that first all of the
timber of the west is controlled by
two trusts; the Northwestern associa-
tion and the Southern one, and they
have a gentleman's understanding be-
tween them regarding prices; all Of
the coal lands are controlled by a
few men, all the agricultural lands
which are taken up under govern
ment acts are fast being controlled
by syndicates and all of the water
power is in the hands of a score of
capitalists.
what the president wants is TO so
regulate the distribution of lands that
they will be divided among the peo-
pie who actually desire to make
homes for themselves.
Colorado is not 50 bad. In this
state a majority of the homestead en-
tries have been honest, but in Ore
gOn, Montana and other states of the
northwest, | have ridden for days
over lands that have been entered un-
der the home stead act, when in fact
the men behind the entries were
wealthy and influential heads of syn
dicates who secured fellows to pre-
jure themselves and even used fic-
utious names to swindle the domain"

STATE INTRODUCES
MORE EVIDENCE
Letters Produced. Alleged 10 Have
Been Written by Pettibone and
Haywood to Deceive Wit
ness Wife as to His
Whereabouts.

Boise, Idaho, June IS.-The Hay
wood trial was resumed today.
Harry Orchard was recalled and
examined for impeachment by At
torney Richardson.
1t became evident from the ques-
tions, that the defense proposes 10
bring witnesses to prove that Orchard
for years nursed a vengeful spite
against Governor Steunenberg and
repeatedly made threats to kill him.
Orchard denied that he said to
Max Malich in June or July, 1905,
that he was going to kill Steunen-
berg, even if he had to swing for It.
or that he said to Malich that
"Steunenberg was a mean -, and
had it not been for him, he COR
chard) would have become a million
! aire from his sixteenth interest in the
Hercules mine, which he sold be-
| cause Steunenberg drove him out of
Idaho"
Orchard also denied that he made
similar threats to Lottie Day in Den
yer, or in the presence or hearing
of kid" Waters, and others at Grip
! pie Creek.
Sold Mine in 1897.
When the state took orchard for
redirect examination, Hawley
brought out the fact that he sold his
| interest in the Hercules mine in
March, 1897, prior to the troubles in
| the Occur d'Alene district.
Orchard identified a copy of a let
ter received by him in jail at Cald-
well, soon after his arrest for the
murder of Steunenberg. The copy
had been made by Deputy Sheriff j,
r. Nichols, who had previously tes-
titled to this effect, and that the
original was destroyed by Orchard af-
ter he had read 1t.
| Letter to Orchard.
The letter was as follows
Dear Tom: l have received yours
and have sent that to Jackson. l
| hope to hear from you as to your
movements and that you will be SUI
cessful." No signature.
Orchard said in his direct eX-
animation that the letter was from
| Pettibone.
Telegram From "M."
A copy of telegram from Spo-
kane, made by Nichols, was also
identified by Orchard.
1t said: Attorney Fred Miller will
start for Caldwell in morning. Sign
| ed M"
| Nichols has testified that Orchard
| had not sent a telegram TO Miller
| before receiving this one.
Orchard said that he had not made
arrangement with Miller, but in Oc-
| tober, 1905, Simpkins had told him
| that if he ever got into trouble, the
firm in Spokane, of which Miller was
member, would be a good one for
| his defense.
Deceived Mrs. Orchard.
The state produced a number of
! letters, written by the witnesses, and
one alleged to have been written by
| Haywood, the purpose of which was
! TO show that there was a conspiracy
to deceive Mrs. Orchard in the spring
and summer of 1905, as to the where
| abouts of Orchard.
The defense protested against the
| Introduction of this matter on re-di-
rect examination, but the court ruled
| that, If improper or redirect, he
would permit the state to reopen
| its examination.

Columbus, o.. June 1s.-Big Four
passenger train No. 10, one Of the
fastest passenger trains on the New
York Central lines, went through an
open switch today in the northern
part of this city and is now lying on
its side along the track, while the
passengers are wondering why they
were not killed.
The train was rushing along at a
fifty miles an hour gait, when 1t
struck the switch and the passengers
thrown in every direction.
Fireman Fatally Hurt.
The engineer stuck to his post.
went over with the locomotive, and
a moment later, stepped out of the
overturned cab with only a few
bruises. The fireman, James Mahaf-
fey, as the train left the track, jump
ed, and is probably fatally hurt. Had
he remained in the cab, he would
probably have escaped.
Four passengers were badly hurt.
and number received bruises and
cuts.
The through sleepers were wreck
ed, but luckily did not catch fire.
and their occupants, without excep-
tlon, were only slightly hurt The
more seriously injured, were in the

Peculiar Accident n
The switch is located in such a po-
sition that the engineer could not
see that 1t was open until almost

pulling the coaches with 1t, each one
overturning and humping along the
ground until they finally settled in a
mass of wreckage.
A strange feature of the accident,
probably due to the high speed. was
the fact that the coaches did not
pile up, but lie one behind the other.
The Cause.
The wreck was caused by an open
switch, and 1t is officially stated that
the switch was probably opened by
vandal, intent on wrecking the
train.
Some Of the train crew incline to
the theory that the switch was care
