BATTERY PLANS BALL.
Districts Field Artillery Maps Out
a Social Program.

The 1st Battery, Field Artillery, has
been making history. The Battery Club
is organized and Corporal George Bon
nett elected secretary-treasurer and Pri-
vate Curtis Sergt. Vogt, Sergt McDer-
mott and Sergt. Chandler board of
governors. The club has decided to- give
a masquerade ball in the dance hall of
the Center Market Armory the night of

Sis Louis and J. II. Smith were ap-
pointed a committee on music. and Tor
Sergt. Wilson and Sergt. Vogt a COM
mittee on printing. Other committees
will be named as the ball plans progress.
When the decision to hold a bali was
reached the battery met the question
whether it should be military ball or a
masquerade. The sentiment inclined to-
ward holding military function until
it was recalled that the battery is shah
billy uniformed. The men have new
blouses. but the drivers trousers are
saddle-stained, and the trousers of the
cannoneers are powder-grimed and
smudged with cosmoline and axle
grease. Because of the condition of their
military wardrobe the men voted in favor
Of a masquerade.
Many of the gayer spirits of the or
ganization say they are determined to
tighten the tedium of defending the ma
ton. and are going in for society AL

TWO WOUNDED IN
DUEL ON DESERT
Prisoner Named Rice, Bound for New
Mexico, Escapes from Santa
Fe Train and Engages
with Posse

NEEDLES, Cal, July 27.-A battle
on the desert was reported here today
with two men wounded and an escaped
prisoner at bay
While Santa Fe train No. was de-
layed by washout a short distance
west of Needles Sunday night prisoner
New Mexico by Sheriff Romero ana
Fe special officer, managed to steal the
keys, guns and money of the officers
and make his escape, after unlocking
his shackles.
Today a man answering the descrip
ton of the escaped prisoner was seen
four miles east of this city in the river
bottoms and a posse was sent in pur-
suit. There were two Indians in the
posse who were used as trailers. One
of them came upon the fugitive uneX-
rectedly. The two grappled and both
went down in a heap.
The fleeing man managed to get loose
his revolver and a duel followed, in
which the Indian was shot in the arm.
Later the man was surrounded and re-
Inducements, food and water were sent
for. 1t is said that Rice is surrounded;
that he Is wounded and that he has
been shot at several times by the posse.
Reports here declare that Rice for
merly was a railroad fireman in New
Mexico and that he robbed his engineer
three years ago. He is said to have
made his escape to the Philippines,
where he served his time in the army,
returned to San Francisco and was
identified there and arrested.

HOUSE INTENDED NOT
TO ACT ON HIDES, BUT
HAD TO YIELD POSITION

WASHINGTON, July 27-When the
conferees of the two houses of congress
on the tariff bill resumed their work
today it was with the intnetion of TAX
ing up other subjects than hides.
The last few days have been devoted
almost exclusively to the latter sub
ject, and the members of the confer
ence were hopeful that in view of the
agreement to leave the final decision of
the hide duty until after the house
should act, they would be in position
to proceed with other features of the
bill. and thus get the whole measure
in shape for presentation to the senate
and house as soon as the rates in the
leather schedule should be fixed in
case the house authorizes their reduc-
ton.
The hide men are making a strong
appeal to the representatives from the
tanning and shoe manufacturing dis
tricts in the hope they will see the
placing of hides on the. free list, to-
gether with a reduction of hide prod
ucts, is a tendency toward the Demo-
cratic doctrine, and they claim to be
making some headway with them.
The advocates of hide duty con-
tend it is not true. Taking hides alone,
the house is favorable to free hides, and
it is asserted by them hides never
would have been placed on the free list
If it had not been for the strength
which was necessary to procure duty
on lumber. The men favorable to hides
are hoping that lumber is safely pro-
tected, that some of the lumber men
may come over and help them.
Before entering the conference today
Chairman Payne of the house conferees
said no effort would be made to have
the house act on the proposed reduce
ton resolution before the latter part OF
the week, and when the house met
there was a general understanding 1t

MINERS DECLARE
THEIR SYMPATHY
FOR SOCIALISTS
WESTERN FEDERATION WILL
PUBLISH LITERATURE
AUTOMOBILE FOR WORKERS CON-
SlDERED cAPlTALlsTIC
Convention Probably Will End Thurs
day with Election of Officers and
Selection of Next Years
Meeting Place
(By Associated Press.)

n ENVER, July 27.--The Western
Federation of Miners, in conven-
- tion today, voiced their sympa-
thy for the cause of Socialism.
A resolution was adopted instructing
the executive board to publish Social
ist literature in all languages spoken
by members of the federation for gen
eral distribution.
A committee was appointed to draft
resolutions embodying the views of the
federation in regard to the case of
Fred Warren, editor of a Socialist pa
per, who was recently sentenced to six
months Imprisonment and fined $500
because of Objectionable matter pub
lished in his paper.
The federation by large vote today
decided not to take 81 out of each ini-
tiation fee for the miners magazine,
but they did instruct the executive
board to print Socialist literature in II
number of languages for distribution
purposes
Fred Clough, board member from Ne
vada, recommended an automobile be
purchased for work in Nevada, giving
poor railroad facilities as the reason.
The recommendation was considered
too capitalistic by a large number and
the final determination of the matter
was deferred.
The sessions probably will end
Thursday. The final work will be the
election of officers and selection of the
place for the next years convention.
There will be little opposition to the
reelection of present officers, and Den
yer probably will be chosen for the
convention, as the Butte people have
practically abandoned their fight

A conservative estimate today placed

Eighty-nine rioters were tried today
The men were sentenced to imprison-
ment ranging from 15 to so days.
The secret service agents are hunting
for the ringleaders of the movement,
