be sent back 10 her parents in Aus

the board are inclined to think that
the wisest course TO pursue in the
matter is for the county 70 appro-

her back to her native land They
feel this way because she is at the
present a charge to the county, and
is likely to be SO for a long time to

case up now with the other members
of the board and action will be taken
upon the matter In the near future.

JOLT OHIO SENATORS

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 4.-The
republicans of Ohio, who met at 4
p. m. today and held their state con-
vention, placed the entire party ma
chinery in the state in the hands of
William Taft and his political fol-
lowers and dealt a staggering blow
to the interests of Senator Foraker
and Senator Dick by wiping off the
state central committee every man
who was known to have any bias
in their favor OF the 81 members
of the new committee IL were re-
elected. Seven members constituted
the Foraker faction and all were
dropped. The other three who were
not reelected were all for Taft, and
their retirement was caused by local
conditions alone. Every member on
the new committee is a Taft man.
Walter F. Brown of Toledo was
reelected chairman and Malcolm
Karshner of Columbus secretary of
the committee. The committee on
permanent organization decided to-
night to report in favor of Attorney
General Wade H. Ellis for perma-
nent chairman.
The convention was called to or
der by Chairman Brown, who an
nounced that the temporary organi-
cation of the convention would be:

The mention of Secretary Gar
fields name was the signal for an
outbreak of applause. which was
deepened when he advanced to the
front of the platform TO deliver his
address. Cheers greeted every men
ton OF the name of Taft, and the
prediction that Ohio was about to
furnish another president created a
bedlam.
When the secretary had concluded
his speech the various districts pre-
sented the names of the committee
men who had been selected at the
caucuses held just before the open
ing of the convention, and it was
then made manifest that the For
aker interests had disappeared from
the state central committee.
A short session of the committee
was held after the adjournment of
the convention to prepare the plat
form.
The fight for minor places on the
ticket continued nearly all day, and
there are sharp contests on the floor
for lieutenant governor, auditor
treasurer and attorney general. For
head of the ticket Governor Andrew
l.. Harris was nominated by accla-
nation. There Is no contest for the
delegates at large to the republican
national convention.

charged with criminally libeIing w
s. Tevis, president of the Bay Cities
| Water company, during ruling
said in as many words that he would
instruct the jury to bring in a YER
dict of guilty.
THE alleged libel consists of
three parts said the court. First,
the alleged conspiracy to force upon
the city an inadequate water supply;
second, that Abraham Ruef was to
receive 100000 for Tevis; third,
that Ruef's testimony before the
grand jury was the foundation for
an indictment by the grand jury
against Tevis. Should the defense
prove the truth of the two former
and not the latter, the two charges
proved true form no justification in
law, if the latter is untrue; it leaves
it libel, and | would so instruct the
jury, but the jury being judge of
both the law and the facts is not
bound by my instructions
This statement by the court was
made just before the adjournment.

Assistant District Attorney Heney
the prosecutor in the bribery graft
cases, by whom he proved that Abra-
ham Ruef did not testify before the
grand jury in reference to the Bay
Cities water scheme until September

Bulletin was published May 10.
Hiram Johnson, of counsel for
Crothers and Older, outlined the
case for the defense. He explained
to the jury what constitutes a libel
and declared that there was no eva
sion on the part of the two defend
ants, and no attempt to dodge the
responsibility for the article, but
they stood upon the truth of it,

BATTLES WITH BANDIT
Heavy Amount Of Money Kept on Ac-
count of Payments to Indians.

SPALDING, Idaho, March A.
Two masked robbers made an at
tempt to hold up the clerks at J. w.
Fendersons store at O'Clock last
night, and only the daring nerve of
]. L. Noblett, one of the clerks,
foiled their plans. Noblett and WIN
Harris were at work in the store
when two masked men entered
through a rear door, and, with lev
eled revolvers, ordered the clerks
to throw up their hands.
Noblett, instead of obeying,
jumped behind a pile of goods and
crawled into the office, where he Sc
cured a revolver. He opened fire at
the robbers, who became frightened
and ran out the door, after firing
several times at the clerks. The
men are described as being of me-
dunn height, neatly dressed, with
long, dark overcoats. Both men
wore flowing black masks which
completely covered their faces.
Mr. Henderson is working on a
clue, and hopes to cause the arrest
of the holdup men. He is of the
opinion that they we're men who
have knowledge of the store. as they
attempted the holdup at a time
when the clerks were alone. and pre-
pairing to close for the night.
Because Indians are receiving pay
ment for their leases Mr.. Henderson
is keeping large amounts of money
in the store, and this fact must
have been known by the robbers.
Mr.. Henderson had just left the store
for the night.

DRIVE OUT
ANARCHISTS
Government Plans to Rid Country
of Foreign Reds

WASHINGTON, D. c., March A.
The secretary of commerce and labor
today issued sweeping order to all
commerce or immigration inspectors
in charge, directing them to confer
with the police in their respective
jurisdictions, with a view of secur-
ing cooperation of the police in an
effort to rid the country of alien
anarchists and criminals falling
within the law relating to deporta-
ton.
The order of Secretary Straus fol-
lows:
ITO all commissioners of immi-
grant inspectors in charge:
1T is hereby directed that with a
view to promptly obtaining definite
information with regard to alien an
archists and criminals located in the
United States you shall confer fully
with the chief of police or the chief
of the secret service of the city in
which you are located, furnishing
such official with detailed informa-
ton with regard to the meaning of
the term anarchist as used in the
immigration act of February 20,
1907, and with regard to the inter
probation of that statute against
aliens of the criminal classes, ex-
planning the powers and limitations
imposed by said statute upon the
immigration officers with respect to
such persons.
you should call to the attention
of the chief of police or chief of the
secret service the definition of an
archist' contained in sections and
3S of the act of February 20, 1907,
and the provisions of section plac-
ing within the excluded classes per-
sons who have been convicted of or
admit of having committed a felony
or other crime or misdemeanor in
volving moral turptitude,' pointing
out that if any such person is found
within the United States, within
bhACC 5Cdlo dILCl iuAulilS VI enter
he is amenable to deportation under
the provisions of section 81 of the
act. The cooperation of said Off
Gals should be required, making it
clear that in order that any partic-
ular anarchist or criminal may be
reported, evidence must be furnished
showing ID that the person in ques-
ton is an alien subject to the i'm
migration act; ca, that he is an an
archist or criminal as defined in the
statute; ca, that date of his arrival
in the United States, which must be
within three years of his arrest;
(4), the name of the vessel or line
by which he came, if possible, and
go, the name of the country whence
he came; the details with respect to
the last three items being kept at
the various ports of entry in such
manner as to be available if infor-
nation is furnished with respect to
the anarchists name, the date of his
arrival and the port of entry.
1T is desired that the above steps
shall be taken at once and that no
proper effort shall be spared to Sc
cure the cooperation of the local po-
lice and detective forces in an effort
to rid the country of alien anarchists
and criminals falling within the pro-
visions of the statute relating to de-
portation.

ASK COUNCIL
FOR COMMISSION
To Fix Rates for Interstate Tel
ephOne Company

''The petition recently circulated
among citizens and business men OF
the city, the purpose OF which is an
appeal to the mayor and council to
require the Interstate Telephone
company to live up to the provisions
of It's franchise as to the charge for
telephone rates, is completed and
will be presented to the council for
consideration and action at the next
meeting" said Charles Kildea this
morning. He has had charge of the
circulation OF the petition. and has
met with success in securing signers.
Continuing, MIR. Kildea said:
The petition now has between two
and three hundred signers. all OF
them representative business men
and citizens OF the city. In general.
| experience no trouble In securing
slgners. A few objected to signing
the petition because they regarded
1t as useless and fruitless effort
from Its inception. They brought
argument to bear In support of their
position by pointing to the work
done by the commission appointed to
regulate the water rate OF the Con-
sumers company. The franchise OF
the Consumers company, like that
OF the Interstate Telephone company,
required the appointment of a COM
mission to regulate and fix the water
rate to be charged by them A COM
mission was appointed and the re-
suit OF their work was not satisfae-
tory Those who declined to sign
the present petition contended that
similar result would follow in this
case. They felt that a commission
would be appointed who would fix
the rate at the scale now charged.
and that II any change was made
from this that It would be raised,
and that the present conditions
would not be made better and that
there existed a probability that they
might be made worse. There were.
however. a large number who took
the contrary view of the matter and
readily and willingly signed. The
rate charged now by the Interstate
is from 20 to 80 per cent higher than
that established by their franchise
and the signers of the petition feel
that this rate is too high, and feel
that commission should be ap-
pointed, as required by their fran
chise. TO establish a rate They feel
confident that a commission will be
appointed by the council that will
have the interest and rights of the
subscribers at heart as well as those
of the company. They expect the
council, in making the appointment
of a commission, to view the matter
fairly and impartially, and the COM
mission to also do so in discharging
its work as a commission, and with
the matter disposed of In this man
nsr they will be satisfied, but other
wise they will not. The petition was
to have been presented to the eoun-
ell for consideration at the last
meeting. but was not as complete
as desired, and it was delayed
