Waits Thirty Minutes for Order.

All these observations could not escape
the eye while Chairman Taggart was wait
ing to bring the convention 10 order. II
took thirty minutes for the delegates TO
calm down, TO cease waving and cheering
their approval, and then Chairman Tag
gart, informally calling the convention to
order, said:
AS chairman Of the Democratic Ma
tonal Committee, II becomes nv pleasing
DUTY to call this convention to order. and
In so doing l cannot refrain from the
suggestion that in numbers. in the per
sonnet OF the delegates, in enthusiasm.
and in the determination OF victory II is
the greatest political convention ever as
sembled In the United States. II is GER
tainly appropriate that such a convention
should meet In this great Western city.

Temporary Chairman Bell had deter
mined to send the whole matter to the
committee on credentials. Finally. Gut
fey rushed TO the platform and reiterated
Garman's demand Garman interrupted

anyway from the moment that the Cleve-
land resolutions had been adopted
Chairman Bell, however, put Ollie James

had been adopted, whereupon Charles J.
Donnelly. Of Philadelphia. rushed up to
within a few feet of Bell and shouted.
Roll call, Roll call. We want c division.

But Bell refused to recognize Donnelly.
He declined to have n roll call He had

Meyer also viii be here tomorrow IN an
advisory capacity.
Uncle Joe Cannon has balked on the
proposition OF taking Mckinley from the
treasuryship of the Congressional COM
mittee and putting him as financial head
Of the national committee. Tho main
reason is that the retirement OF Mckinley
would mean a campaign in the Republi-
can Congressional ranks for the election
Of his success. and that might open the
way 20 hard feelings. So important Is Il,
IN Uncle Joe's opinion, that there would
be a maximum OF harmony. that he is
urging not only that Mckinley should re-
main as the treasurer Of the Congress
sional committee. but that James Sher-
man. the nominee FOR Vice President.
would continue 10 serve as chairman OF
the Congressional committee.
Sherman to Keep Place.
II has not been decided definitely as yet
that Mr. Sherman Will continue 10 serve
In that capacity, but it is likely he will.
His continuance in the post would. as in
the case Of Mckinley. prevent a scramble
for the control OF the organization. There
are only two men besides Mckinley who
are under consideration for the national
treasurership. and they both seem 20 be
impossioilities. The two are Charles G.
Dawes, formerly Comptroller OF the Cur
rency and now an Illinois bank president.
and Richard G. Kerens. Of ST. Louis.
Dawes. IL is understood. will not do at
all, because OF a recent speech which he
made against President Roosevelt. The
President II is aid feels very bitterly
toward him, and objects 10 having him
identified with the Republican national
committee.
Kerens, on the other hand is mixed up
so badly in a local row in Missouri that
ID name him would practically amount to
the throwing away of any chance the Re
publcans might have Of carrying the

and Inconsistency.
BAILEY SPEAKS OUT.

Belleville, Kan, April 27.-Cyrus
Leland opened his campaign for the
Republican nomination for governor
in Belleville Saturday. Ex-Governor
Bailey also spoke. The large court
room was filed. In the audience
were about twenty-five old soldiers
The entire day was much on the or
der of a veterans reunion, for the
members of the local G. A. r. post
took "Comrade' Leland under their
wing almost from the moment of his
arrival In town.
Before the meeting reception was
held in the post headquarters. after
which the "old boys escorted Mr..
Leland in body to the hall. In ad-
dition to Mr.. Leland's keynote" ad-
dress, Ex-Governor w. F. Bailey fur
nished the real fireworks. Bailey
made it clear that he is for Leland
and not for Stubbs He spoke with
great STRESS coupled with feeling,
when he referred to his long friend
ship for Leland and he was vigorous
~ cheered he told of his personal
knowledge of Leland's business and
political integrity.
Mr.. Leland read his address from
manuscript. He did not mention Mr..
Stubbs's name directly or by infer
ence. One feature of his speech that
appeared to strike a popular chord
was his declaration to be loyal to the
nominee and not sulk provided he is
not nominated. This was looked upon
as something in the nature of a chal-
lenge to Mr.. Stubs, for it has been
charged that he shirked in the Harris
Hoch campaign, and it has also been
charged that he and his followers will
permit the Leland forces alone to
make the fight provided that Stubs
is not victorious in the August pri-
mary.
Ex-Governor Bailey's address was
sensational. He openly accused Stubs
of boiling the ticket at the last CUB
ernatorial election.
I'm for Cy Leland and against w
r. Stubbs," said Mr.. Bailey because
Leland has always stood up for Kan
sas. while Stubs is an alarmist He
has an apology for every law. In his
bills announcing his meetings Mr.
Stubs has printed the peoples can.

A UNION PACIFIC TARIFF.
A Change Regarding Portland Allowed
Inv COn1miSsiOn

BY permission of the interstate COM
merce commission the Union Pacific
has prepared tariff which is expected
to overcome the result of a previous
decision which had the effect of clos
ing the Portland gateway. The North
ern Pacific and Great Northern had not
concurred in previous tariffs and the
commission ruled that tickets sold
under the rates so published were il
legal The Union Pacific is now per-
mitted to name Portland as the des-
tination, but if the traveller signifies in
tention of going to Seattle further
north, the conductor lifting his ticket
will give him another reading from
Portland to the point to be reached.
In other words. the old method is
resumed of drawing exchange orders
on Portland ticket offices of the Har-
riman lines, which provide for the To-
cal ticket from Portland to points in
Washington. The additional charge is
absorbed by the Hartman lines, and
they again enjoy the benefit of the
long haul.
1t is said that the whole question OF
authorized routes to the Pacific coast
is not any more. satisfactory now to
the Northern Pacific than it is to the
Hartman system and that it is equal
ly anxious to see the entire subject OF
gateways reconsidered.

same position throughout Union Pa

IN BAD REPUTATION.
A Kansas Man Disappears Leaving
Creditors to Hold the Bag.

Las Vegas, N. M, April 27.-Roy
Martin, formerly a brakeman on the
Santa Fe railroad here, has left this
city somewhat suddenly and several
local merchants are now mourning his
hurried departure. Rather than face
an army of creditors without sufficient
money to meet his obligations, Mar
tin who lived considerably beyond his
means while here, found it more con-
venient to seek sudden change OF
climate. Creditors have ascertained
that Mr.. Martin went direct to Cotton
wood Falls, Kan, his former home.
and they are already laying lines to
obtain their money. While they are
a unit in believing that the salubrious
climate of Cottonwood Falls would be
more conducive to Mr.. Martins health
their combined opinion is that he COM
mitted a great breach of etiquette in
moving out under cover of the night
and forgetting to make complete set

Pacific to sell to points on the laEer's
system from Puget Sound territory by
the use of exchange orders which it
formerly employed at it's eastern ter

There has been no change, however,
in the Sacramento gateway, and the

RAILWAY ADVERTISING.
Monon Route Seeking New Decision On
Hepburn Law.

Slowly but surely the question as to
whether the railroads have a right to
exchange transportation for advertis-
ing under the Hepburn law is ap-
preaching a decision in the courts
which will definitely determine wheth-
er the ruling by the interstate COM
rnerce commission is sound. The Monon
case is to be the basis of final adjudi-
cation. 1t is charged that the railroad
is violating the interstate commerce
law in that the variation of magazine
advertising rates makes the placing OF
a fixed value on such advertising i'm
possible, and the granting of railroad
tickets in exchange for it forms dis
elimination in violation of the inter-
state commerce laws.

CONVENTION CONvENES
New Executive Committee and Delegates
to State Convention Chosen.

Twenty-eight delegates from var
ious precincts in the county met in
convention here last Monday and
elected an executive committee for
the ensuing term of four years and
delegates to the state democratic
convention at Jackson June II.
AS soon as the meeting was called
to order it was apparent that there
was difference of opinion. The first
business was the election of tempo
rary chairman and F. O. Holmes was
chosen for the place. After the names
of the delegates had been enrolled by
J. G. Davis, temporary secretary, the
election Of permanent chairman of
the convention was taken up. The
names of ]. N. Brown and r. L. Dab
ney were put before the delegates,
who proceeded to vote by secret bal
lot. Twice the ballot was taken,
each time resulting in tie, thirteen
for each candidate, the candidates
themselves not voting. Both candi-
dates then arose and asked that their
names be withdrawn, and Mr.. Dab
ney Nominated d. E. Wilson and Mr..
Brown placed in nomination L. J..
Farley. An adjournment was taken
for dinner and at one o'clock the bal
lot was again taken, resulting in the
election of Mr.. Wilson by one vote,
one of the delegates not voting. Mr..
Davis was then chosen permanent

ALLEGED MURDERER CAUGHT
Andrew Trice Landed After Months Of
Evasion. Of Authorities.

Deputy Sheriff Entriken arrived
here Thursday evening with Andrew
Trice, a negro charged with the MUIR
der of a negro woman, whose body
was found in Coldwater river near
Miller last July 1S.
Trice had been living with the
woman for several years and when
she announced her intention to
marry another negro, he killed her
using hatchet and reducing the
head to pulp.
After the killing Trice escaped and
was not heard of uutil last week,
when Sheriff Barbee received letter
from white man named Cotton at
Shuqualak, in Noxubee county, who
said he had located the negro. Dep
uty Entriken went to the above
named place, but Cotton had gone
and he could learn nothing. It de-
veloped that the negro was in the
custody of the sheriff of Noxubee
county at Macon. The negro is now
in jail and it is underftood that he
