Insurgents Are in Control of

FOR GOOD INTENTIONS

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
DES MONIES. la. Aug 3.-For
the first time I'm the history of the
Republican party I'm Iowa, State
Convention is in session today with
the endorsement of Republican
President and a Republican Congress
as the only issue.
What is more the insurgents. led by
Senators Dolliver and Cummins, will.
unless all signs fail, withhold this en-
dorsement from the administration
and approve of the insurgency of the
States leaders i'm Congress, I'm oppo-
sition to the measures of President
Taft
The district caucuses We're held
early this morning. resulting In the
selection of "A resolutions committee,
composed of six progressives and five
stand patters. The majority platform
will endorse Taft for good inten-
tions" only and then laud to the skies
the insurgent Senators and Congress
men from Iowa.
The minority Of the resolutions COM
mittee will have a report to present
10 the convention which will endorse
Taft and his administration and the
Republican leaders of the nation, en-
dorse the administration OF Governor
Carroll by name, endorse the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill and endorse the
Iowa Senators in so far as they have
endorsed Taft
The minority report will probably
be killed after hot debate by q ma
! jority Of at least 200, for the pro-
| gressives are in the saddle.
All the State officers, except a jus
tice Of the Supreme Court and a SUI
perintendent of Public Institution
we're selected at the June primaries
and the nomination Of these officials
is overshadowed in the Taft and anti
Taft fight.

"COP'' HURT In
SAVING WOMAN
FROM INJURY

PatrOlman Lorenzo Kings presence

became frightened and bolted. They
started from I'm front Of the building

down Shipley street TO the wharf and
then started around the Baltimore
and Ohio freight depot
The horses were headed for South
Market street and directly I'm their
path we're the women and children.
II appeared that nothing could save
them, but at that instance King flung
himself In front of the horses and
was snatched off his feet by the i'm
pact He did not release his hold on
the reins, however, and was dragged
some distance before he could bring
the horses to a standstill. Some men
assisted him to his feet and it was
found that he was bruised about the
legs, but not seriously hurt.

MASSINC TROOPS
AT SAN SEBASTIAN
To Prevent Outbreak at Big
Catholic Demonstration
on Sunday

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
SAN SEBASTIAN. Spain. Aug. d.
Twenty thousand soldiers are being
quietly mobilized in this city to pre-
vent any disturbance at the big Catho-
lie demonstration planned for next
Sunday It is expected that at least
100000 Catholics will take part in the
protest against the governments dc-
tion toward the Vatican.
The demonstration was originally
planned as a direct protest to King
Alfonso, who has been spending the
summer here. Had the King remained
here and received the visiting dele
cations, it is probable that the demon
stration would have passed off quiet
ly. But the Kings departure from
Spain has incensed the Catholic popu-
lation and he is being accused of
cowardly avoiding a meeting with the
Catholics.
It is feared that this new turn may
cause the protesting Catholics to en-
gage in violence and the government
is determined to prevent this at any
cost.
