as "Gunplay" Maxwell served three
and one-half years i'm the state peni-
Tertiary for the TObbing of a bank at
Springville, Utah. He was sentenced
to twenty years in the state prison for
the crime, but was pardOned because
of his assistance to the prison guards

tiary in 1908.
A year ago Maxwell was shot and
wounded in a revolver duel with Harry
E. Reidel, railroad fireman, in a sa-
loon at Helper. Reidel was also Sc

TAFT FORCES ON TOP.
Indications That the Injunction
Plank Will Stick.

Chicago, June l6.-The Taft forces claim
tonight to have the advantage in the
struggle over the injunction plank of the
platform. They assert that the appoint
ment of a subcommittee of thirteen to
consider the various controverted planks
was a distinct success for them. and
pointed with much satisfaction TO the
fact that Chairman Hopkins had appointed
on the committee nine men who favored
the injunction plank and four who are
opposed TO it.
The Taft managers predict a favorable
result in the full committee and in the
convention. but admit that their fight will
be desperate.
The opposition, still under the leader
ship of Speaker Cannon. who directs his
forces from his quarters at the Union
League club. is tonight claiming thirty
and expressing confidence that when the
platform goes to the convention the OBJ
jectiOnable plank will be missing.

motion during the first session of the
committee today for the appointment of a
-IOAAiiAllAlcC ~ CoilSiSl OF thirteen IltIu
bers and who was the first member APP
pointed by Senator Hopkins, chairman,
said tonight in discussing the platform:
Il am going TO do everything possible
in the committee to make a platform IT,
line with Roosevelt and Taft, and espe-
cially as shown by the latter in his
speeches preceding this convention. | do
not expect we shall make platform sat
isfactOry to the extremists on each side
but l do believe il will be satisfactory to
the great body of Republicans and that
they will endorse it,"
Senator Long had particular reference
to the much-discussed injunction ques-
ton. He stated that it was his belief
that this plank would merely declare
against summary action by courts with
out recommending anything that would
lessen the dignity and prerOgatives of
the courts as established by long practice.
When he went to the Subcommittee
meeting at O'Clock tonight Senator Long
said:
Il do not believe the gravity of this
platform is appreciated. 1t is simply
question of whether the platform will be
along well-knOWn administration lines or
whether it will be a platform of the al

tiOns. The committee then adjourned TO

This body began its session at O'Clock
with evidences that an all-night session
was contemplated.
Besides the opposition to the injunction
plank, it is understood. a fight is to be
made against the postal savings bank
declaration; against the trust and rail-
road planks and efforts put forth to in
sert number of minor propositions.
The railroad and banking planks of the
platform were agreed 10 by the sub-com-
