DIVISION AMONG SOCIALISTS
Indications that Neither Debs Nor
Haywood Will BE Nominated
for president,

CHICAGO. Mcy, al3.-Delegates to the
socialist national convention in session
here made little progress today in the
direction of an agreement of policies or
platform. The greater part of the brief ses-
sion held today was devoted to arguments
by contesting delegates from western
states. In and out OF convention the con-
test between Eugene V. Debs and William
D. Haywood for the presidential nomi-
nation was the subject of much discussion,
and tonight with one day intervening be-
tween the balloting will probably begin, it
was predicted that neither would be chosen
to lead the socialist ticket rumor which
gained currency during the day that Hay
wood had withdrawn from the race was
vigorously denied tonight by supporters of
Haywood's candidacy.
Eugene V. Debs was still absent because
of illness in his family, but it is thought
likely he will appear and take a personal
part in the fight before long. Beside these
two men, A. NJ. Simons of Illinois, Ben
jamin Hanford of New York and Rev. Carl
d. Thompson of Milwaukee are mentioned
for the presidential nomination. Rev.
Thompson's name when mentioned in the
convention was greeted with enthusiastic
cheers.
Tho committee on platform put in a busy
session toright. The ideas of its members
are said to be widely divergent, and 1t is
thought hot fight is brewing over plat
form declaration. The matter may come
before the convention tomorrow but 1t is
hardly thought likely that it will be reached
before Thursday.

BATTEY CASE DELAYED AGAIN
illness of Juror the Occasion of Latest
Adjournment.

The trial in the district court of the
custer action against II. V. Battey, clerk
OF the district court, met with another set
back yesterday. Shortly after court had
convened and c. ]. Richman, the expert
accountant, had been called to the witness
stand for cross examination, the proceed
ings were interrupted by the illness of
George Quick, one of the jurors. Further
progress was accordingly delayed until this
morning. Mr.. Quick had not been we'll for
a couple of days, but sat through the hear
ing Monday and attempted to again do so
yesterday, but finally had to give up.
The attorneys in the case desired to
avoid the necessity of proceeding with
eleven jurors If possible, and Judge Macy
granted a recess of half an hour to per-
nit Juror Quick an opportunity to con-
suit a physician. When the time had ex-
pred it was announced in court that the
physician had expressed the opinion that
Mr.. Quick would be able to proceed as a
juror Wednesday Acting on the strength
Of this information Judge Macy then ad-
journed court until this morning.
Trial of the case was begun Tuesday Of
last week and recent indications are that
It will not be concluded before the end Of
the week, If by then. Cross-examination
of c. j. Richman, the expert accountant
employed by the Board of Supervisors to
check over the books and records of tho
office OF the clerk of the district court was
begun as soon as court convened yester-
day morning, and while it was barely un-
der way when the adjournment took place
it was evident that the cross-examination
OF this important witness by the defense
will be close and may occupy two days.

chi1d Too IN to Attend school.

The case against c. E. Ellsworth, charged
with refusing to send his 12 year old
daughter to school was dismissed in JUS
tice Coopers court yesterday. 1t was
shown through Dr. Earl Bellinger that the
child had not been well during the winter
and was now in an anaemic condition,
as well as nervous. DR.. Belinger testi-
fled he had advised the parents a short
time ago not to send the little girl to
school, fearing that it would further impair
her health. In dismissing the case against
Ellsworth, Justice Cooper took occasion
to commend Truant Officer Herner for his
efficient work and expressed the belief
that the officer had acted in perfect good
faith in the case at issue, though the
facts as shown in the trial did not warrant
a conviction.
