stimulant and the opportunity to
smoke.

generally normal. Referring to his
acquittal, DR.. Baker quoted Thaw as
saying: 81 was not insane when ac-
quilted and should not have been
committed to hospital. My lawyers

Cleveland, O., May 1s.-Rioting and

the strike of the conductors and mo-

Traction Company here.
The strike order was given Saturday
following a stormy all-night meeting
of the car men. The order went into
immediate effect. From the begin
ming there was trouble in getting the
cars out. One of the first disturbances
of any consequence took place at the
Lakeview car barns, where Chief Of
Police Kohler was struck by stone
hurled at the police by strike sympa-
thizers. An effort to move the cars
from the Lakeview barns was opposed
by the strikers.
In Lakewood, a big suburb west of
the city, the trolley wires of the Mu-

Officials of the company claimed that

The Duquesne Case Settled.

Under a Tombstone date of the 21st inst. the Tucson Star of We'd nesday contained the following in teresting information:
 The case of the United States against the Duquesne Mining Com pany, charged with the importa- ton of alien labor from Mexico, was finally disposed of in court here today.
 The suit as originally brought, called for the payment by the Du- quesne Mining Company of penal ties aggregating $23,000. In the Pima county jail at Tucson, several witnesses, Mexicans, alleged to have been imported, have been held for nearly a year past and the case has attracted a great deal of attention. Recently papers were filed with the supreme court of the territory to secure their release but nothing had been done about it further.

parts of all the rest of the delega tions, except one; and that body of bolters held another convention which named a delegation to the national convention, to contest the seats of the delegates from the reg ular convention.
 The action of the bolting con- vention is simply an appeal from the ruling of the chair of the regu. lar convention upon an important point. If the Taft forces control { the convention at Chicago, the bolt ing conventions delegation will be seated, in accordance with the prec- edent of 1896; if the national con- vention is anti-Taft, the regulars will be seated. And that is all there is to it; except when the pie is cut in 1909.
The oasis., 1908-04-25

Yesterday there was compro- mise reached by which the Du- quesne Company came into court confessed judgment against itself in the sum of 5000 and agreed to pay all the costs, which will amount to about $500. Upon this settlement being reached, the long detained witnesses at Tucson were ordered released and they will be given transportation to their homes at once.

THE BOLT.

Twelve years ago Mark Hanna taught Republicans all over the
 United States, that there is ar ap- peal always from the result or pending result of any convention, and that in the great field of na- tional politics, the national con- vention is the court of last resort. Tn the heat and excitement of a convention % many things are apt to occur that can be made a hook on which to hang a contest, that where contest Is wanted for any reason, it Is easy to provide one. At that time Mr. Hanna sent in- structions to his lieutenants all over the country to send contestlng delegations to the national conven- ton at St. Louis, if they had to bolt the regular conventions to do so. When they reached St. Louis all such delegations were seated, regardless of the merits of their re- spective cases. If contesting Mckinley delegation presented any kind of a case 1t was seated and its opponents displaced. If the case was weak. the Mckinley delegation was admitted with half votes, which had to be disgorged by the anti McKinleyites. At that time the then three great counties Tn Arl- zona (Pima, Maricopa, and Yava- pail, acting under the Hanna in- struction, sent contesting delega- tions to the territorial convention at Phoenix, which was without a quorum of uncontested delegates. To have a quorum all the delega- tions from the three great counties named were seated in the conven- ton with but half votes each. Null lifying each other as they did, the result was placed in the hands of the small minority of fifty-six un- contested votes. Of these. thirty lined up against the Mckinley crowd, and they proceeded to do business 'in one time and two mo- tions,"-to borrow a military ex-

nearly all Mckinley men; but they were following the lead of local men, who had axes of their own to grind. Taking advantage of mis- taken announcement by the chair man, the McKinleyites left the con- vention, and the next day held another. The bolting delegation was seated at St. Louis, with half votes; and from their crowd were taken most of the men from Ari- zona who reached the pie coun- ter when Mckinley cut the pie.
 Now, then, the bolt in the Re- publican territorial convention at Tucson, week ago, Is very similar to that of 1896. The complexion of the convention depended entire ly upon which of the three contest ing delegations should be given seats. They were Maricopa, Co chise, and Gila. Governor Kibbey headed o.le delegation from Mari copa. Mr. J. G. Aaams headed the other. Cochise and Gila were di- vided upon the same lines. ln the report of the committee on cseden- tials, the Kibbey delegations were awarded seats by vote of 6 to 4. The minority presented on the floor of the convention a report awarding to the other crcwd the seats from these three counties. The minority report was adopted by a vote of 59 to 46. The Pima delegation was voted as a unit; twenty.seven votes for the minor | ity report. Three of the delegates from Pima protested against the imposition of the unit rule, and went out of the convention with the bolters. There was fight within the Pima delegation on the nation al committeeman; and 1t Is inti- mated that had the delegation been boiled, eleven would have voted for the ma jority report of the ere dentials committee-to get even for throwing down MT. Sturges for national committeeman If tbat be true the vote would have been reversed, and the majority report would have been adopted by vote of 57 to AS. The demand for the poll of the Pima delegation was overruled by the chair holding that the unit rule must prevail. A pro- test to that ruling was made upon the ground that the national con vention of 1880 had laid down the rule that the u0it rule cannot be forced upon a minority in a dele 1 gation by the majority thereof, but must come direct from the pri- maries or the convention naming the delegates. The chair ruled the protest out of ordes. Then the un- seated delegation from Maricopa, with Governor Kibbey at it's head, left the hall, followed by the entire delegations from six counties, the
