Attorney George W. Clark The trial
is set Tor tomorrow morning before
Justice of the Peace W. B. Wilson,
who fixed the defendants bond for APP

made by the defendants. Their arrest
is a result of a determination by
County Judge J. A. Lea and Sheriff w.

all transient peddlers and merchants
must pay the county a tax for doing
business in it's borders, a law provid-
ing for the same having passed by

agents refused to pay the license and
were arrested for violation of the law.
The Spaulding Manufacturing Com

notoriety here about four years ago

Another Interruption.
Aside from the demonstration de-
manding the name Of Taft with the
other presidents, Senator Cummins
was only interrupted once. This was
when he referred to amending the
primary law, the first district del
egates telling him that ut surely
needs a mending.' The speaker ac-
knowledged the action of the first dis
trict men and was compelled to quit
his speech until the criticism had
ceased. When continuing, the senator
said the primary should be amended
so as to better it, and then /; long yell
of derision was directed to the regulars
from the progressive delegates.
The conclusion of the temporary
chairman's speech came at IL: 45
o'clock and then the districts were
asked for their committeeman. At IL: 81

As the case stands, the only evidence

Des Moines, Aug. 3.-(SpeciaD. -
The big fight in the caucuses was over
the choice of member of the resolu-
tons committee from the second dis
trict Finally the Clinton people
nominated for member of the state
committee George Hilsinger as their
pie nominated E. P. Adler of Daven-
port It was claimed that the caucus
had demanded that the fight for reso-
lutions should be fought out over the
head of the candidate for committee
man. On a ballot Gilsinger was
elected defeating Adler, the present
member. Then the vote came back on
resolutions Clinton and the pro-
gressives put up George Curtis for the
place and the standpatters from Scott
put up Dick Let's. Curtis got 81,
Let's, 43.
The resolutions will be written by
Robert Healy, A. B. Funk, E. f. Has
ner, James A. Smith, w. H. Berry and
George Curtis. Mr.. Healy will prob
ably present the platform and defend
it before the convention. The mi
nority report on which to base the
claim that the convention is not re-
publican convention will be framed
up, by w. P. Hepburn, assisted by w.
NJ. Walker, c. G. Paul, H. L.. Water
man and Art Savage. Several states
were smashed in regard to the mi
nority members. James H. TreWin
was taken off because he was too
radical and ex-Representatiye Hull
substituted. In like manner J. H..
Waite was ditched in favor of Van
Buren, county man. The sixth would
not permit Lacey to 60 on the commit.
tee and selected ex-senator H. L..
Waterman for the place.
There was some surprise in regard
