NO PRECEDENT FOR SUCH CASE,
But Nothing to Prevent Nationa
Committee From Acting.

WASHINGTON. June $50 far
as known there is no power vested
in the republican national commit
tee to All vacancy on the presiden-
tial or vice presidential ticket that
might occur between the date OF
nominating and the first Tuesday IN
November. A hasty study of prece-
dents shows that no emergency has
arisen before in the history OF the
republic such as might arise on the
death or retirement of one of the
candidates before election day.
On the other hand. there Is moth
ing to prevent the committee from
fiIling the vacancy on the ticket;
that is. there is no law of prohtbi
tion, but of course the committe'
would be answerable to the out
ragged sence Of the great part!
which 1t represents.

OPENING DAY-DARROW MAY
COME INTO CASE.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo, June
23.-The trial of Steve Adams of
the Western Federation of Miners,
charged with the murder of Arthur
L. Collins, the Telluride mine sup
erintendent, had hardly been called
in the district court here yesterday
when the opposing attorneys became
involved in a bitter wrangle over
the efforts of the prosecution to in
dorse new names upon the indict-
ment as witnesses and an attempt
on behalf of the defense to prevent
ex-Congressman Hogg of Pueblo
and j. s. Carnahan Of Grand juno
ton from acting as attorneys for
the state. The charge was made
that Hogg and Carnahan had been
employed by the Mine Owners as
ISOLATION.
Judge Shackelford allowed the
new names to be inscribed upon the
Indictment and also permitted At
toraeys Hogg and Carnahan to re-
main in the case, 1t being shown to
his satisfaction that they were en-
ployed by San Miguel county.
The attorneys for the defendant
were announced as follows: o. N.
Hilton of Denver. Ralph E. Estep
of Denver, L. o. Whitzel OF Boise
City and Samuel N. Wheeler OF
Grand Junction. It Is rumored that
Clarence Darrow Of Chicago may
come to assist in the defense later
on.
The sheriff was ordered to sum-
mon 100 men for jury service.
Charles H. Meyer, president OF
the Western Federation OF Miners
Is here and will remain throughout
the trial.
