In pitchers battle Thursday after

 hts favor over Kimball for the Pearl
 Diggers The Kid was in fine form

 his nerve and pulling himself out of
 several bad holes. IL is a crying shame
 that the fans of Pine Bluff do not turn
 out to suci an exhibition of baseball
 as was put up at Forest Park yester-
 day afternoon That the team has held
 together so far has been due to the
 efforts of few loyal fans. To expect
 a team to play winning ball with the
 encouragement the Pine Fluff fans
 give is asking the impossible. Both

We desire to make five year con- tract on a place as desirable from every standpoint as the best farm ill Ithe Little Rock district cotton lands.
 There are 1900 acres in the tract, 900 of which are in a high state of cultivation. The place is thoroughly ditched and is clean all over. It is above the highest overflow. without levee Soil is mostly rich, sandy loam varied occasionally by mix ture of sandy and stiff soil.
 Gin, press and engine comparative ly new There is an attractive cot tage for lessee. The tenants houses are probably the best in the district.
 There is railroad station on the place, and it is also reached by about 10 miles of pike out of Little Rock.
 The place is well stocked with live stock and implements, which must be purchased by the lessee. Likewise the lease must be made by financial ly responsible person. Or must carry a strong endorsement.
 Any one with money, wio does not own his own place, will, we believe, find this a great opportunity.

THE PERSIAN UPRISING
 IS FAR FROM ABATED
Revoluticnists Encouraged by Success of Their Party at Tabriz.

Teheran, July 20.-The success of the reVolutionaries in Tabriz, concerning which news is beginning to reach here, has encouraged the local revolutionary leaders and caused apprehensions of renewed disturbances. Rapid prepa- ratiOns are being made to concentrate the shah's forces One thousand horse men of the Nomadie tribes of Bakthiar have arrived at the outskirts Of the city Quarters are being prepared for them in the vicinity of the shah's pal ace which is becoming rapidly trans formed into a fortress. Guns have been mounted on the walls command ing the city in all directions.
 strong party led by Amir Boga- tur which now has the upper hand, has informed the shah that re-estab lishment of order awaits his instruc- tion. The reactionaries are actively at work among the populace collecting signatures and petitions asking the shah to abrogate the constitution. A petition is being prepared to Great Bri- tain and Russia.

Chauffeur Thaddeus Thomas Ewski underneath. He was not seriously hurt.
 Two cars were closely following the wrecked machine. In one Hitchcock was riding and in the other James T. Williams jr., who is associated with Hitchcock Through prompt ac- ton on the part of the drivers of these machines, a collision was avert ed. Both cars and occupants were in danger of being carried over the brink. That point in the road where the accident occurred is dangerous for automobiles and most riders take wide detours to avoid it.
 At o'clock the representatives of all the states and territories invited to meet here, arrived with the ex- ception of Nevada, and decided to go on with the conference. Hitchcock addressed his co-workers briefly and said he had brought them together to broaden their labOrs and to secure a cooperation of effort. After that all the men present talked about con- ditions in their states. Representa- tives from California, Colorado, Ida
 
 North Dakota, Oregon, South Dako- ta, Utah, Washington and Wyoming declared in positive terms that their states can be carried for Taft and Sherman, but at the same time they insisted that the campaigns there should be carried on with the great est vigor, the enthusiasm being ex- tended to Oklahoma. Texas and the territories. Speaking for Oklahoma, National Committeeman Cade and State Chairman Hunter urged that the fight in that state be not ig- nored. They said if an earnest eff fort were made there a close race could be made with the democrats with some prospects of success, not the fact that the demo- crats have the administration ma chinery. The positiveness of the rep resentatives of the new state i'm pressed their colleagues, and it was agreed tacitly that strong work should be done in Oklahoma.
 Col. Cecil A. Lyon, both the na- tionaI committeeman and state chair man from Texas, complained that that state was neglected by the republi- can ndllOndl CdiipdlSh ihdHoSSiS iH the past and he wanted strong speakers sent there. The situation in Texas will be taken up some other time.
 There is a factional fight in the republican ranks in Colorado, which is just now attracting much atten- ton here. Efforts have been made to involve Hitchcock in the contro- versy by getting him to act as ref cree. He made it clear today that he would not be drawn into the fight in any capacity. but that local lead CTS should settle their differences so as not to injure the republican chances in the national contest.

Was Thought for Time to be a Cause
 of Embarrassment
Prohibition Leader Promises the Candidate Part of the Vote of His Party--An Appeal to the News papers to Collect Campaign Funds.

Lincoln, Neb., July 2O.-Influential eastern democrats today notified Bry- an that in their opinion the anti-in- junction plank adopted at Denver is hardly worth the paper it is written on, the reason alleged by them being that the David B. Hill bill, passed by the senate and which was specifically en- dorsed b. the democrats, simply car ried out the common law provision, granting jury trial in contempt cases. lin the jurisdiction of the presiding judge" The plank was drafted on the assumption that the Allen amendment to the Hill bill made jury trial man. datory.
 While Bryan is reasonably sure of his ground, the allegation that he and a majority of the resolutions com mittee had been "tricked" caused him worry and he admitted that he would have an inquiry set on foot.
 The Associated Press correspondent this afternoon relieved his suspense by explaining to him that advices from Washington showed that the Hill bill. as finally adopted by the senate. 1896, provided for summary punishment by the court in direct con- tempt cases, but making it mandatory for the court to grant trial by jury in

.HITCHCOCk'S
 CONFERENCE WesternR RepubIiCanism Was We'll Represented
Leaders Assert That With Work Every State Can Be Carried for Taft.

Colorado Springs, July 20.-The first session of the republican lead CTS with Chairman Hitchcock of the national committee. opened at pm. today and continued until nearly 8 pm. The members of the national committee and the chairmen of the state central committees from six teen states and territories, addressed the assembly and explained state conditions Tonight MT. Hitchcock is talking individually with leaders from working out with still greater detail his plans for opening and conducting the campaign.
 Because of the late arrival of some of the western leaders, no effort was made to get together in the fore noon. Those who assembled took an auto ride to the Garden of the Gods and .Manitou Springs. The ma chine carrying c. c. Bursum, chair man of the New Mexico committee; w. F. Martin, republican leader of that territory, and T. L. Weed, one of Hitchcocks clerks, was stalled on a steep hill approaching the Balanced Rock, and through the failure of a brake, it suddenly started down hill backwards. The chauffeur command ed the passengers to jump and they succeeded in clearing the car just as it reached the brink of a deep gully. The car turtled and was wrecked on the rocks below, with

THE MINERS IN TURMOIL Over the Future of the
 Organization
A Day Devoted to Social ism, Politics and Affilia- tiOn.

Denver, July 20.-The Western Fed eration of Miners convention spent the entire day discussing the indus trial unionism question, and adjourned without having taken definite action. During the day the discussion assumed a wide range, including socialism, unionism, the crafts, and all kindred subjects. The preamble of the consti- tution of the organization declares that industrial union and concerted political action by all wage workers, is the. only method of attaining the emancipation of the working class.
 Today the discussion of the sub jects arose over a resolution, one sec tion of which reads as follows: that the marshaling of workingmen of every department of industry. under one banner and one organization that rec ognizes the fact that injury to one is the injury of all: that the concern of one. is the concern of all. that the working class must get together in an economic organization, the purposes of which are to control the machines of production and means of distribu- ton. regardless of political affiliations of any kind"
 This paragraph, declares against political utilization. Should it be adopt ed then a concentrated effort will be made to change the preamble. The or ganization never adopted any political faith, but it recommended the subject of socialism to the membership for study Many socialists today fought sI ala Df resolution on the ground that it did no good, and embittered membership.
 Last year the convention ordered the executive board to secure, if possible. conference of the representatives of all labor organizations with a view of uniting under the banner of the In dustrial workers of the world. After the convention many local unions protest ed and the conference was never held In today's discussion, the subject was taken up and became a part of the general debate, but no definite posi- ton as to affiliatiap with any organi- ZatiOn was taken.
 The Miners Magazine has been con- ducted as a sOcialis. paper under it's present editorship, and some conserva- tlNe OtlcSdleS tOOk OCcdSlOn today tc bring that into the debate. They de- clare that it's pages should be devoted to publishing such articles as pertain ed to the organization only and not to forward the beliefs of any party So urgent was this that a committee was appointed to investigate and report in a series of resolutions setting forth how the. magazine shall be edited in the future.
 This general discussion, including as it does, all general subjects so vital to the organization, will probably con sume the greater portion of the week until the convention gets down to adopting resolutions. t is impossible to foretell the out come. There is no opposi- tion to President Mover, and doubtless he will be reelected by exclamation. This has been his seventh conSecu- tive term. An amendment was offered to the constitution this afternoon which provides that no member of lhe or ganization shall serve in the militia unless called upon by the governor.

CITATION FOR CONTEMPT.
 OF LABOR LEADERS
The Bucks Stove People Claim That
 Order in Their Behalf is Violated.

Washington, July 20.-In the Buck Stove and Range case. Justice Sander son of the supreme court today sum moned Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor. Secrtary Frank Morrison of the organ ization, and John Mitchell of the ex- ecutiVe council, and a former presi- dent of the United Mine Workers of America to appear in court on Sept. s, next and show why they should not be punished for contempt of the courts injunctive order The citation is based on the petition of the Buck Stove and Range O., of St. Louis, which alleged that the order issued by Justice Gould forbidding a national boycott by the American Federation of Labor had been violated by the public utterances and addresses of the three labor leaders named.
 It is also stated that Gompers caused to be published in the Fed erationist, the official organ of the Federation a certain article reflecting

all cases where such contempt was committed outside the jurisdiction of the court. and where such jury trial is demanded by the accused. This was the Allen amendment, as Bryan re- membered it, and it cleared up what threatened to become an awkward sit uation for the democratic candidate
 The part the prohibition question will play in the campaign was talked over between Bryan and Wiley B. Phillips, editor of the California Voice of Los Angeles, returning from Columbus. O.. where he was a delegate to the nation al prohibition convention. Phillips volunteered the statement that unques- tionably a number of prOhibitionists would vote for Bryan as against their own candidate. He thought the prohi- tion movement would affect the vote in close states, and he was unwilling to concede to Taft many of these votes.
 The appeal of Bryan to the farmers of the country for campaign contribu- tions is bearing fruit. Today a num- Der of responses were received. An appeal by Bryan to the democratic newspapers of the country to begin the collection of funds for the cam paign was one of the important hap penings today.
