WHO STARTED THE WOMEN

Washington, April 6.-Accusing the large department stores of having in stigated the opposition of many wom- en. and "hysterical men" against the increased duties provided by the Payne tariff of women's gloves and hosiery, Representative Payne today in a statement, which will be printed in the Congressional Record, asserted that the importers who oppose the duties were interested in firms abroad which make gloves and hosiery.
 He presented various arguments in an effort to justify the increased rates. contending that the difference in cost of labor in the United States and abroad was not covered by the duties in the Dingley law. Claiming that the new tariff increased the duty from 1 2-3 cents per pair to 2h cents Der pair Mir Payne declared that there was no truth in the assertion that the price of hosiery to the con- sumer would be increased 25 cent. per pairs He ridiculed the sugges- ton that the increased duty was the result of the formation of a hosiery trust" a claim which he said had been advanced by importers.

ONE VACANCY, MAYBE MORE
Nominees For Mayor and Councilmen Pledged to Leave Undone What Re- publican Administration

The democratic city convention was held at the court house last night and the following ticket was the result:

 Councilman. First Ward-Sidney Goldman.
 Councilman. Third ward-Eugene Hackett

 Marshal-Wayne Davis.
 Assessor and Collector-E. F.. Pascoe.

 The convention was different in one respect at least from any other democratic convention in Phoenix within more than one generation. Neither w. T Smith nor Joe Bush was there and there was otherwise a painful absence of members of the old Guard.
 The convention, which began late, was broken by intermissions. Though a slate as to the method of procedure had been carefully constructed there was still much caucusing to do re- garding the nominations, for several of those whom the caucus of Monday night had marked for slaughter held back.
 The convention was brought to or der by Chairman DeSouza of the city committee, and on the motion of Yer non l.. Clark he was made temporary chairman. Mir. DeSouza expressed his thanks at this show of confidence in him. He had. he said. felt it for some time. but he did not know that it had

The platform, however, was not a long one. It pledged he candidates for mayor and councflmen to an eco nomical administration.

ATTACKED IN THE NIGHT
Two Owners and a Herder Murdered While They Slept by Fifteen Masked Men--Story Brought Away by Escaping Herders.

Cheyenne, April 6.-AnOther chapter to the bloody range war between the cattle and sheep men for control of the range for grazing was written in Big Horn county late on the night of April ?. Fifteen masked horsemen raided the camp oS Allemand and Enge and murdered, in cold blood. Joe Ale mand and Joe Emge, wealthy and prominent sheep men. and Joe Lazier. a herder
 Allemand and Emge had located their camp at the mouth of Spring Creek, fifty miles southeast of Basin. where they were guarding 2.e00 sheep The raiders came upon the wagon on the south side of the creek in which two herders were sleeping A vOlley was fired into the wagon on the oppo- site side of the stream. and resulted in the death of Emge and Lazier
 Evidently Allemand was reused by the approach of the raiders as his body was found fully twenty feet from the wagon, where he had been cut down by a rifle bullet. The wagon had been soaked in oil and fired the bodies be- ing cremated- About thirty sheep were also killed.
 All telephone wires were cut and news of the affair did not reach Basin until the following morning. brought by the herder who escaped. Immedi- ately County Attorney Metz. Sheriff Aston and Deputy Sheriff Cusick left for the scene of the outbreak. arriving on the night of April 3. after a haz- ardOus journey through deep snow. They found the bodies undisturbed. but obtained no clew to the murderers.
 Allemand was an d-time sheep man. Emge was formerly a cattle man. recently entering the sheep busi- ness. There is great indignation throughout the Big Horn country The Big Horn sheep growers and the State Wool Growers association have each offered s1.000 reward for the capture of the raiders. and this will probably be further increased by the state au- thOrities

 An there ye ar-re," says Dooley, the fine results of an evenings work, one that the people can point to with pride, during the next two years. The convention was called to order by Dan McDermott, chairman of the retiring central committee and the call was read by T J. Prescott, sec retary. From the nomination of the temporary officers, General Sampson and C. J. McElroy, chairman and secretary respectively and Jack Turn CT. assistant secretary, clear through
 to the end of the chapter, there was a unanimity of sentiment that sur
 passed even the proverbial republi- can harmony. There was such gen eral satisfaction with everything that 1t seemed almost like an evening wasted. only for the fact that the proceeding had to be gone through with as a duty the republican party owed the people to give them the men they wanted to vote for. Aside from that there was only one req
 son for the convention and that was
 to settle a small argument that arose concerning the marshalship in which one element of the convention favored the candidacy of Pete Sullivan as against the present incumbent, but it was not a hand tO hand or Dltter struggle, and with the formal action that gave MT. Sullivan the vote of sixteen delegates, the issue was buried and the work of harmony was given another impetus.
 But though it was harmonious there was no lack of enthusiasm. At all proper times it was expressed and that was at the naming and speech of acceptance of each candidate in turn as we'll as the endorsement of the platform which is naturally point ing with pride to the past and the calling of attention to the party s record both locally and nationally. There was much speechmaking, all of the harmonious and enthusiastic order and too voluminous for repeti- ton. None of the speeches were long, but there were many of them. The

First Day ofDiscussion Of the
 Bill For Amendment FEW CHANGES EFFECTED
Chairman Payne Discovers That the Women Who Have Criticised Bill Have Been Made Catspaws by Importers of Hosiery.

Washington, April 6.-Wrangling, confusion. captious objections. person. alities. and language bordering on vituperation marked the first days discussion of the Payne tariff bill for amendment in the house today With virtually a full attendance. members were wrought up to a high tension and were prepared to fight to the last ditch for the things their con- stituents demand.
 Nearly the entire day was consumed in discussing the lumber and hides schedule. The advocates of free lum- Der went down to defeat by the mar row margin of six votes following the striking out of the countervailing duty on lumber. The barley schedule came in for a lively discussion and when the bill was laid aside for the day there were pending two amendments. one raising the rate in the Payne bill from I5c to 25c, a bushel and the other fixing a rate of 10 per cent ad valorem.
 The sum total of the days work with the exception of eliminating the countervailing duty on lumber was to leave the Dlu luentlcdlly m the con- dition in which the committee report ed it. This grants free hides and a duty of Sl per thousand on sawed lumber. At 4:5S pm. the house ad- journed until r. o'clock tomorrow.
 A lively discussion was precipitated over an amendment by Mir. Scott of Kansas fixing a duty of 10 per cent ad valorsm on raw hides which fi- nally was lost on a division by 106 to 166. Among those supporting the amendment was Mir. Burleson demo- crat, of Texas, who said that evil dently the amendment suggested was the only way to get cheaper boots and shoes. Referring to Mir. Clark of Florida, but without mentioning his name, he declared the position he had taken meant that if you take care of my district you may pilfer, may rob, and plunder the American people and l will stand by and not raise my voice against it." An amendment to the Scott amendment by Mir Underwood of Alabama includ- ing skins weighing more than one pound on dutiable list, was defeated, 65 to l33.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS STORY.
 Washington, April 6.-President Taft
 will send to the senate on Thursday the nominations of Judge Richard F..
 Sloan, of Prescott, Arizona, as gover-
 nor of Arizona, vice Joseph H. Kibbey,
 whose term expires. and G. L. Young. of Prescott, as territorial secretary of Arizona Young succeeds John H. Page, whose resignation was requested in the interest of harmony.
 The appointment followed a series of conferences recently between President
 Taft and Postmaster General Hitch cock, Delegate Cameron of Arizona, and the republican territorial chair
 man. Hoval A. Smith.
 Judge Sloan is an assistant justice of the supreme court of Arizona.
 Young is a prominent business man and railroad engineer.
 It is stated that neither of these men
 was a candidate for the office to which
 he was appointed. They were select
 ed to bring about republican harmony
 in the territory. Judge Sloan is ac-
 cepting the office of governor. it is
 stated, at a personal sacrifice, while
 Young was in reality a candidate for 
 governor, but accepted the office of secretary to further plans for making Arizona a republican stronghold.
 The first intimation of the appoint ment of Judge Sloan and MT. Young, which had been clearly foreshadowed in The Republican dispatches yester- day morning. were brought by the As sociated Press a little before noon. Soon after that there was a rumor on the street that J. C. Adams had been appointed United States marshal Tn the place cc Ben Daniels, and that Ernest Lewis had been nominated for judge in the Fifth district. and that T. C. Jobs, of Prescott, had been ap- pointed to succeed Judge Sloan.
 It was later learned that the infor- nation in regard to the marshalship came in a private dispatch, and 1t was also stated that a dispatch had been
 received saying that the disposition Of
