DEFEATED SHERMAN FOR
TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN
Made Good His Statement That He
Would Beat His Opponents To a
Frazzle.-Great Doings at Saratoga
Today.
(By Associated PreSs.)

Saratoga, N. l., sept. zo.-COlOHel
Theodore Roosevelt rode away on the
top wave of victory, defeating Vice
chairman of the Republican State con-
vention and bowling over the old
guard in the first engagement of a
series of conflicts that are to come.
Colonel Roosevelt was in his ele-
ment. After he had named the men,
bers of three important committees
and the convention had adjourned to
meet today, the Colonel turned to the
newspaper men and remarked: 81
said frazzled, you may recall. You
may quote me on that"
At Troy yesterday the former Pres
ident said he would beat his oppo-
nents to a frazzle. There were 1,O11
votes cast in the convention, of which
Colonel Roosevelt received 56S and
vice-President Sherman 443, thus
electing the leader of the progressives
by a majority of 1875.
Elihu Root, United States Senator
from this State, was selected as per-
manent chairman of the convention.
William Barnes, Jr., of Albany, lead
er of the old guard, issued state
ment last night denouncing Colonel
Roosevelt as he has done heretofore
and praising those of the old guard
who stood firm.
| Interest in the Roosevelt-Sherman
struggle occupied so much of the stage
center that discussions of candidates
was overshadowed. But prominent
among the possible gubernatorial nom-
inees are Representative William "A.
Pendergast of New York. No decision
had been reached late last night.
Two drafts for the platform repre-
senting the ideas of the progressives
and the old guard respectively were
being threshed out.
| Colonel Roosevelt did not vote.
Mr.. Sherman voted for Joe Doe and
two of the New York county dele
gates did not respond when their
names were called. The vote as Off
cially announced at the convention,
gave Roosevelt 567 and Sherman 445,
but an error in the count was discov-
cred.
Colonel Roosevelt spoke frequently
of what President Taft had accom-
plished in his administration in his
speech as temporary chairman, say
ing that the laws passed reflect high
credit on all who succeeded in putting
them in their present shape on the
statute books. They represent an
earnest of the achievement of what Is
to come, and the beneficence and far
reaching importance of this work done
for the whole people measures the
credit which is rightly due to Con-
gress and to our able, upright and dis
tinguished President, William Howard
Taft"
The spectators and many Of the del
egates warmly applauded the declara
tion of Colonel Roosevelt for a direct
primary plank.
Colonel Roosevelt bitterly assailed
the BOSSES" declaring that the diff
ference between boss and a leader
is that the leader leads and the boss
drives.
"The difference is that the leader
holds his place by firing the con
science and appealing to the reason
of his followers and the boss holds
his place by crooked and underhan'

manipulation he said.
Hundreds of applause greeted the
Colonel as he was escorted to the
speakers stand by Vice-President
Sherman ana Cornelius V. Collins and
it was some time before he could pro-
ceed with his speech. Thanking the
delegates for the honor they had con.
ferred, the Colonel caused The greatest
enthusiasm when he said:
you shall not have cause now nor
hereafter to regret Whist you have
DONE"

PATROL system KEEPS
Chinese FROM BORDER

Washington, Sept. 2S.-Hundreds
and thousands of Chinese and other
Asiatics barred from the United
States by the immigration laws,
slipped in over the Mexican boundary
prior to six months ago, according to
evidence in the hands of officials of
the Department of Commerce and La
Dor.
The ease with which the aliens
could pass over the lines resulted in
the establishment of a strict patrol
system on the border lines of New
Mexico, Arizona, Texas and Califor-
MIA, and the frequent reports of ar
rests and deportations in that country
are evidence of the working of the
new system.

POWER PROJECT TO
Be SETTLED JULY q
of Water Users July Fl.

The board of governors of the Salt
River Valley Water Users association
held meeting yesterday morning and
called an election for July 81 when
the matter of the agreement between
the association and the government
respecting the Crosscut canal and
power houses will be acted upon by
the members of the association.
The meeting was presided over by
President John p. Orme who in order
to keep the record straight, made a
report of his activities in Washington,
although his good work has now be-
come ancient history
In connection with the election re-
ferred to, it is said there is some mis-
understanding among the members of
the association regarding the pay
ments of the assessments proposed to
be levied to build the Crosscut canal,
both as to the amount and the time
of payment. In explanation it is stat
ed that the total cost of the assess
ment for that work is $3.50 per acre,
or 1926 per acre for each of two con-
secutive years. Also each annual as
sessment may be met in two payments
if the member so desires, in conform
ity with the custom regarding all 9TH
er assessments. one payment being in
September and the other in the fol-
lowing March.
The present estimate for the ex-
pense of the association and the wa
ter building for the next year is Is
cents so the payment for the next
year. If the canal proposition carries
at the election will be $40 per acre,
one-half payable next September. the
other half next March. Those Who
desire may pay it all at once

APPoRTIoN LAWMAKERS
Legislature Will Determine Matter On
Basis of Census

~Pierre-The state constitution pro-
vides that at the first legislative
session after a state or national
census, and at no other time, the
legislature shall apportion its me N
bership on a basis of population. The
figures shall be ready by the first OF
next year to allow the legislative
members to get busy. OF curse the
legislature has not at all times heed
ed the mandate of the constitution in
regard to reapportionment, but 1t al
ways at least has made an attempt.
In the coming session there will be
a new element in the increased popu-
lation in the western half OF the
state. Under present conditions II
requires a greater populat' Oh west OF
the river for one senator than 1t does
for two senators in some of the east
ern counties. Stanley and Lyman as
one district west of the river have
about 5000 votes, and get n sena-
tor. Minnehaha and Brown counties,
both with the same vote or lighter
vote. get two each. The constitution
al limit, forty-ive senators. has been
reached and The only way the western
counties can get increase is by the
policy of extraction from the eastern
counties. Under the conditions it
rests with the westerners to find some
way in which to force the fasteners
to share with them with more equal
ity the senatorial representation.

Government win Attempt to Recover
Property of Its Ward
Sioux ~Falls-United States District
Attorney Wagner will go to ROSEBUD
agency next week to take the depo-
sitions of certain Indians. In a civil
action which the government has be-
gun to o money belonging TO an
Indian ward, High Star, by name,
from Edward B. Kelley, former In
dian agent at Rosebud agency. e. j.
Debell, who was at one time Indian
trader at Rosebud, e. w. Courts, who
was in the employ OF Debell, H. But
terfield of Madison county, Nebraska,
Harm Johnson Of Meyer county, South
Dakota, and John Moritz of Plymouth
county, Iowa.
The charge against these men Is
attempting to defraud the United
States OF title to lands which title it
held, in fee, for High Star, one OF Its
wards.
This charge is based upon a ruling
of the secretary Of the interior OF the
United States that whenever an In
dian is competent and capable OF
managing his own affairs, he may ask
the government to deliver to him a
patent to any land which is being
held in fee for him.
The allegation contained In the
complaint is that the interior depart
ment, acting upon the statement OF
Edward B. Kelley, then, in 1908, acting
as Indian agent at Rosebud, that High
Star, a Rosebud Sioux Indian, was
competent the secretary of the inter
Tor issued to High Star a patent for
section 23, township SO, range "A,
comprising 638 acres.
That the application forwarded TO
the government and purporting to be
the application Of High Star, was OBJ
tanned by fraud, in that High Star
was not competent to Judge OF the
value of the land, which he had secur-
ed patent fer. That the real value OF
the land is $4,000.
It is also charged that after the IT,
tie to the land was obtained, High
Star was induced to go before DeDell,
who was a notary public and sign
deeds, conveying that land, for the
sum of $4,000, to E. w. Courts.
That Courts then sold the land to
w. H. Butterfield for $4,000, who sub
sequently sold one-half of 1T to Nor
itz for 5000, showing the value OF the
entire section to be something like
$16.0 00.
The government sues to le o er
SIC, 900 for High Star, which Is the
price paid by Butterield for the land
and which is $4,000 more than Debell
paid High Star for 1t. !.
The suit was filed in the federal
court December Z last year.
All Of the defendants have filed an
swers to the complaint in which they
set up defenses of various sorts ana
kinds, all alleging that High Star was
competent.
