Will Be Named as Deiegates-Fight
For Control of Party Machinery and
for National Committeeman.

Omaha, March 11.-Delegates In
rumbers began arriving today for the
republican state convention. which
will be held Thursday. While large
been instructed for Taft, he probably
will have an unanimous delegation
from Nebraska to the national con-
vention.
There has been a lively contest for
control OF the party machinery, which
will probably crop out in tomorrow's
convention. There are 925 accredited
delegates. OF this number about $50
have been Instructed for Taft, and 10o
for Roosevelt The remainder go in
to the convention uninstructed. The
principal contention on the presiden-
tial preference has occurred in the
Second district Q.incoln), where nine
ty-iive delegates We're given instruc-
term. In the Fifth district, where La
Toilette had a ollowing month ago,
led by former Congressman Mccarthy,
a Taft delegation has been selected and
Mccarthy himself has endorsed the
candidacy of the secretary of war.
No serious contest is expected on
the selection of delegates at large. all
four of whom have been practically
agreed upon United States Senator
Norris Brown and Governor Sheldon
will lead the delegation. Victor Rose
water, of Omaha. and Allen w. Field,
of Lincoln, are slated for the other
two members. There is contest for
national committeeman. with not less
than three avowed candidates in the

amendments to the act making the

tail of the law in 1869. s the little
joker which Hartman has been avoid
ing, and it is around it that all the
present trouble hinges.
This amendment provided that the
railroad should never sell more of the
land to one person THAN 90 acres, that
the person to whom sold must be q
bona tidc settler. and tina. the price
charged for the land must never be
more than $50 on acre. But neither
the oregon & California Railroad COM
pany, nor the Southern Pacific. which
took over the grant when the first
named company busted, nor yet Harri-
man, after he had gobbled the Sou
thern Pacific. ever paid the slightest
attention to this amendments Neither
apparently did the government. az
none of the patents issued on the land
so far exhibited to congress makes
any reference to the restriction con-
tained in the amendment. AS for the
purchasers. the testimony so tar pro-
duced before the committee of con-
sress goes to show they were all in
ignorance of the existence of the
amendment.

Chicago, March 11.--A the adj

day, deadlock resulted over the Du-
buque franchise, and it was said there
was little prospect of an early settle
ment. The trouble began when Rich

resolution forfeiting the Dubuque
charter. A long debate followed
When a roll call was taken it was
found the meeting was evenly divided
The representatives of Clinton, Rock
Island, Peoria and Dubuque were
against the adoption of the resolution,
while Bloomington, Springfield De-
catur and Cedar Rapids maintained
the charter should be for 'eited. The
election of a president also is expected
to cause warm controversy.

STEAL MARCH ON LABOR.
Congress at Last Adopts Measure to
Prevent Army Band Com petition.

Washington, March 1.-THE house
military committee has stolen a march
on Samuel Gompers and organized la
Dor generally in that part of the army
appropriation bill relating to army
bands. For ten years labor has been
trying to get congress to say that those
bands should nor be in competition with
civilian bands, but nothing was done
and the competition continued. This
year no labor people appeared before
the house military conn ittee, and no.
body knew what would be in the bill on
this question-or if anything would be
in it-until the bill was reported. The
bill carries provision increasing the
pay of army musicians from so to 100
per cent, and forbidding the old-time
competition with civilian bands. The
band belonging to the troops at Fort
Smelling is now in Cuba. but perhaps
this year 1t will return to the United
States. There has been good deal of
feeling among twin city musicians in
years past growing out of the compe-
tition of the Smelling military band.

DIVORCE PAPERS
SERVED ON 1HAN
First Step Taken in Proceedings
to Secure Annulment Of Mar
riage By Wife
THAw WILL FIGHT PETITION
Does Not Desire Legal Separation -
Counsel for Evelyn Denies Financial
Settlement Has Been Agreed To-
Papers Also Served on Mrs. William
Thaw.

New York March 11.-'The first legal
step was taken today by counsel Tor
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw in her contem-
plated action to secure the annument
of her marriage to Harry Is. Thaw.
Daniel O'Reilly, the wife's counsel
said today that he has sent clerk t.
Matteawan asylum to serve papers IN
the case upon Thaw, and that he has
also sent papers to be served on ThaW's
mother. He said:
illegally speaking, Harry Thaw is
dead, so it is necessary to have for
defendant his next of kin. The mother
will not try to make any trouble for
us. She is very kindly disposed to-
ward our case and is sympathetic with
the attitude young Mrs. Thaw has talk
en-. We do not believe we will exper-
ience any difficulty in procuring de-
.cision in our favor.
Nothing has been done in regard to
q settlement" said O'Reilly. ''The re-
ported figures-a lump sum Of $4,000
and an annual allowance of $4,000 =
are all guess work"
According to A. Russell Peabody,
Thaw's counsel, Thaw will oppose the
annulment with every means at his
command and will contest the allega-
ton that he was insane at the time
of his marriage.
It was stated today that Mrs. ThaW
is prepared to testify in her own behalf
in this action, but If her testimony
should be useful in securing Thaw's
release from the insane asylum, she is
prepared to give evidence in his favor.
1t is reported today that members of
Thaw's family are strongly in favor of
the move to annul the marriage, and
that if it be successful Evelyn will be
provided for financially. Altho counsel
for both Thaw and wife announce that
action is about to begin, neither would
disclose the cause of difference between
the two, but it was stated the trouble
began q year ago, during ThaW's first
trial, and that a, reconciliation was an
impossibiilty.
A copy of the summons and COM
plant issued on behalf of Evelyn Thaw
was made public today. 1t alleges
that at the time of the marriage Harry
X. Thaw was lunatic and of un-
sound mind, and was incapable of
making a valid contract and incapable
of contracting marriage Notice Of
suit was served on Mrs. William Thaw.
The process server served the papers

LAMBS MAY BE BITTEN.
Harriman's Manipulation Of 100000
Land Grant Shows Joker,


New York, March 10.-A bold piece of
buccaneering by E. II. Hartman out
in Oregon is making anxious moments
for the Detroit Trust company and
many investors in Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Iowa, the Dakotas,
Montana and Idaho.
It is all about a huge deal in timber
land. The government is after Mr..
Hartman for what appears like as
rank an evasion of the law as ever was
perpetrated but unless congress takes
action to sort out the innocent and
protect them, 1t looks as if they would
be placed on the defensive along with
the arch railroad manipulation.
Once there was a railroad company
which received a land grant of about
100000 acres of fine timber to build
a railroad from Portland. Ore. to the
California state line. The company was
the Oregon & California, and it re-
ceived the grant in 1866.
The company had trouble in raising
the cash to do business with and from
time to time it came back to congress
and asked for more time in which to
carry out its agreement with the gov
ernment Each time congress COM
piled with the request, but upon each
occasion it added one or two little
