Chicago, May 13.--A spirited con-
test in the Socialists convention Is
expected to grow out OF a combina-
tion said to have been formed by
Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio
delegates to force the nomination Of
Benjamin Hanford. New York, for
president and Max Hayes, Ohio, for
vice president.
According to a report in circula-
ton today the combination was
formed at caucus held Tuesday
night. 1t Is pointed out that II the
fight is made on behalf of Hanforj
and Hayes merry factional fight
will follow, with the Debs forces pit
ted against the combination.
Debs is at home III. but his follow
ers declare they will not let the east
ern delegates relegate hir to the
rear. Rather than see their leader
go down to defeat they will bolt the
convention. Today's session of the
convention was devoted to routine
business.
If the resolutions committee has
its way the letter written by G.. A.
Hoeln of st. Louis criticising Presl-
dent Roosevelt for referring to So
cialists as "undersirables, will be
withdrawn before II can be read be-
fore the convention or passed.
A hot debate on the question was
cut short by the noon recess. Hoe
Inns letter declares that Roosevelt's
latest message "insulted the Social
lists of the world" and adds:
Even though Socialists were un-
derisable citizens they have the right
to demand of the President that he
tell the truth when discussing mat
ters of public Importance"
Delegate Lewis, OF Illinois, assert
Cd that the letter exposed Socialists
to ridlcule.
A namber OF speeches assailing
President Roosevelt were delivered
this afternoon. Ben Hanford OF New
York declared that the President is
the real friend of every dishonor-
able, thleving politician In the United
States"
The "opcn letter" was finally or
dered suppressed.

CAPERS WRITES.
TO SOUTH CAROLINA COsNus-
sIONERs OF ELECTION.
Insinuates That Republican Votes
Cast In This State are Not Count
hr tha NaraUe
ed by the Managers.

John G. Capers. the member OF the
Republican national committee for
South Carolina, has sent the follow
| ing letter to the commissioners OF
election for the State:
Washington, D. c., Oct. IA. 1905.
Commissioner Of Election Of South
Carolina.-My Dear Sir: Except IN
one or two of the lower counties IN
the State there are no accredlted Ae-
publican nominees for Office In South
Carolina to disturb your local al
fairs In the State. While IN the Sc
lection Of commissioners Of election
for South Carolina the Republicans
have had no voice or choice. I hope
and believe that in a spirit Of fair
ness you will allow those who wish
to vote a national Republican ticket
an opportunity under your direction
as commissioner to cast their votes
for Mr.. Taft and have them counted.
That is all the Republicans ask.
Conditions which have promoted
many of our citizens to resort to
methods unnecessary to review no
longer exist, and at this time purely
national proposition is involved. It
would seem, therefore, that & spirit
of absolute fairness and justice
should prevail, and I have confidence
that you will see to 1t that We are
gwen a square deal.
l value as highly as you do the
traditions and history Of my State
and my people, and there are hun
dreds of men in South Carolina who
feel as I do and yet who can see no
earthly form of disloyalty in contrib
uting through their ballot to a per-
petuation of the financial and indus
trial prosperity Of the whole country,
which seems permanent only when a
Republican president and a Republi-
can Congress are in power.
Thes Panama Canal, certain fea-
ture of protection, the great need
of improving our river In. the South,
plead to US to get for South Carolina
some national standing and enjoy
the resulting national influence and
assistance for the development of ouT
great resources.
Respectfully,
JOHN c. CAPERS,
Member Republican National Com
mittee for South Carolina.

JURORS GAMBLED
ON THE LIFE OF 4 MAN THEY
TRIED.

Verdict Set Aside Because Two Jurors
Resorted to Game of Chance in
Order to Arrive at q Conclusion.
A dispatch from Aiken to The
News and Courier says William
Knox, the convicted murder Of Pick
ems Penn, was given a new trial BY
Judge Wilson, who, heard the argu-
ments for a new trial on the ground
of irregularity in the jury room.
Knox was convicted or murder last
week in the Criminal Court, but he
was not sentenced at that time IN
order that his counsel might be heard
in a motion for new trial. Last
Saturday the defendant was called
up to be sentenced. but the solicitor
asked for postponement until yes
terday. The arguments were begun
late yesterday afternoon and end
ed this morning by the Judge setting
aside the verdict.
The ground for the new trial is
most unusual Amdavits were pro-
luced by Knox's counsel, Messrs
Henderson and Davis, Gunter and
IEGyles, from four Of the jurors who
sat on the case. These afidayits
were in effect that ten of the jurymen
stood for murder, without recommen-
dation, and that two stood for mur-
der with recommendation to the
mercy of the Court, thus reducing
the sentence to life Imprisonment.
They could not arrive at conclu-
SIGN by reasoning the matter and re-
sorted to the uncertain game Of
chance. It was proposed that two
slips CT paper, one marked "mur-
der" which was to stand for no rec
omendation, and the other to lie
marked mercy" to indicate a rec
ommendation for mercy, were to be
placed in hat and drawn for.
This was agreed to and the slip:
were placed in the hat. It was
agreed by the two that if the 'mur-
der slip was drawn they would give
in to the ten, and if the mercy
slip was drawn the verdict shoul.
be guilty with a recommendation to
mercy.
Fate was against Knox ia the jury
room and when the draw was made
the murder" slip was drawn Out,
and the verdict was accordingly
signed and rendered to the Court.
The defendants counsel contend :
ed that this was gambling the life Of
the defendant away, and could not
have been their honest convictions
and was contrary to the law, and ask.
ed that the verdict be set aside.
