COMMITTEE WILL
ACT FOR PARTIES
Congressman Latta's Successor Cannot
GO Through Primary for
Nomination.
REPUBLICANS GET AN OPINION
A. w. Jeffries Advises State Central
Committee to Direct Congress
sionaI Committee to Make
Nominations.

To fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Congressman Latta OF the Third dis
trict candidates will be nominated by the
state central committee or the congress
sional committee of the republican and
democratic parties The republican state
committee. seeking the proper method of
making nominations, left the matter to be
Investigated by A. w. Jefferis, who de-
clares that nominations by committees
are the legal procedure. although the law
upon the question is not exactly direct in
the matter.
Ny op,niap Is based upon the sections
Of cohbsy's annotates stAtutss Of lsll'
known as 5sss and $3.50" said Mr.. Jefferts.
These sections, think put the power to
make nominations in such vacancies with
.4he congressional committee, and the con-
gressional committee under the present
laws, body authorized at the discretion
OF the state central committee. Before
1909 the congressional committee was ap-
pointed by the candidates, and the can
didates' committee had an official ex-
istence. Since the passage OF the laws OF
that year the congressional committee has
not been official except as appointed under
the rules OF the state committee.
Section 5sss, cobbey's Statutes for 1911
is as follows: Vacancies occurring upon
any party ticket after the holding Of any
primary shall be filled by majority of the
party committee of the city, district
county or state as the case may be- and a
| certificate of such nomination shall be
filed as required by section SIG of Cobbey's
Annotated Statutes, 1905
This section clearly gives TO the COM
mittee in the district the right to make the
nominations for each party. That this CON-
mittee is named by the state central COM
mittee is proved by section $3.50 which is
as follows:
The state, congressional. judicial and
legislative committees of the various po-
iitical parties shall be chosen in such
manner as may be determined by the state
central committee of each respective
| party +"
Chairman John L. Kennedy is contem-
plating calling together the republican STATE
central committee soon to provide way
to choose a candidate, who must be named
by October 12. or twenty-five days before
the general election at which he is tc
run.

BANK IS OUT WITH A REWARD
Cash for Capture of Robbers and Com
mission on Money Returned.
MANY OF STOLEN BILLS MARKED
Great skill is Displayed In Getting
Into Safe, Explosive Having
Been Set Off by Means of
Electricity.

NEW WESTMINSTER, B. c., Sept l6-
The Bank of Montreal offered a reward
today of 5000 for the capture and convic-
ton Of one or more OF the robbers who
stole $25SO0o from it's vaults. The bank also
will allow TO the finder a bonus of per
cent of any money that may be recovered
through any arrest made.
It is a curious coincidence that Clark an
old pal of Bill Miner, the train robber, was
released from serving long term in the
penitentiary this morning. 1t is not be-
lieved by police. however. that he had
anything to do with the crime which evi-
IDENTIFY had been arranged with great care
beforehand.
The police of Vancouver have all exits
guarded II would be difficult for the rob-
bers, If still in Vancouver. to ship the
money away
Many New Bills.
One hundred and fifty thousand dollars
of the paper money stolen is in new S. and
SO bills of the Bank of Montreal and the
numbers of every bill stolen is posted in
every bank in Canada and on the American
border. An attempt to pass any of these
bills would result in arrest. The $4,000 in
gold and the $Ss,OOO in bills of various
Canadian and United States banks are
available for use by the robbers, however.
Evidence is accumulatng TO show the
skill with which the job was done. The
explosives were set off by electricity, the
wires having been found attached to the
handle of the safe. Despite the fact that
five or six charges were necessary, so care
fully had the work been done that the resi-
dents in the Lavery block, adjoining the
bank did not hear the slightest sound
It is thought that the safe was not
drilled. The detectives have a theory that
a small charge was first used to loosen
the bolts to a slight extent and then q
good sized charge was let in behind the
door, with the result that it was blown
completely off its hinges.
The digging out of the masonry wall, not
more than two men could have been occu'
pied at time, and two probably could have
handled the blowing operation as we'll as
half a dozen. The most reasonable pro-
position, the police declare, is to suppose
that each took a portion of the fortune
and that the men then separated.

The German proposals on the latter point,

KLINE TALKS TO
: LOCAL SHOPMEN
President of Blacksmiths' Interna-
tional Goes Over Relations with
the Hartman Lines.
WHAT THE MEN ARE ASKING FOR
Eight-HOur Day, Abolition of Certain
shop Requirements, an Increase
in Wages snd Right to
Federate.

j. w. Kline, general president Of the
International Blacksmiths' union and
spokesman for the executive board of the
federated railroad shop employees, ad-
dressed two more meetings of the shop
men yesterday afternoon. At 2:20 he spoke
before a meeting of all the shopmen, and
at 4 he addressed a meeting of black
smith at o'Neil's hall The general meet
ing was attended by about 800 men. About
seventy-five blacksmiths attended their
meeting. Mr.. Klines address simply was
q report OF the San Francisco efforts for
Pseee and an outlips Of labor's position
Mr. Klire explained to newspaper re-
porters after the meeting that there is no
telaticn between the Hartman lines shop
employees and those of the Illinois Central
railroad and others, except that the mem
bers of each craft are in one union. The
employees of one system could strike with
out the others striking, according to Mr..
Kline.
The blacksmith president left for Chi
cago last night There he will remain for
several days.
Talk to shopmen.
Mr.. Klines address TO the shopuen was
as follows:
The meeting OF our committees in Salt
Lake City was not an unusual affair, al
their work there was of the same charac,
ter that our committees nave been in the
habit of doing for years. The only diff
ference was they drew lIp joint contract
TO be presented to the infringement OF the
Hartman lines. This was nothing unusual,
as our committees on other lines have been
| transacting their business with their man
agement in this manner for years. The
,zF Ia l.a1,
matter is that when the committees notified
| their various managers that they desired
to treat with them in the future as q
| federated body, they were very promptly
notified that under no consideration coulc
this be done. The managers printed our pro,
posed contract and held it up to the public
through the press for dissection, placing
their own Interpretation upon it, unques
tionably intending to prejudice the public
| against the demands of the joint commit
| tee. This surely is an unprecedented pro,
cedure on the part Of the management
Never before have our committees had
their demands threshed out before the pub
lie before they had a chance 10 confer
with the management. Usually our com
mittees come to an amicable adjustment
of their difficulties, If the managers mee
them in conferences, but we never can gel
our difficulties settled without a meeting
and the committees feel that they hav,
been very unfairly dealt with and this at

have had a chance to talk it over them

All Of this strike talk that appeared in th'
papers in the last month was started By
the managers themselves. While we greatly

ADVERTISING TRAIN FROM
EASTERN OKLAHOMA TOWNS

The Tulsa Democrat in its issue of
Friday, February 3, says:
F. P. Sutherland, secretary of the
Commercial Club, says that the train
to be sent by the Frisco the latter part
of March from Muskogee for the pur-
pose of advertising eastern Oklahoma
will be great advertising scheme for
this town, for it has almost become a
fact that the greatness of this state
partly comes from the greatness of
Tulsa, and whenever Oklahoma is men
toned in other states the first express
sion is: There are great opportuni-
ties in Tulsa Of course some other
towns are mentioned, but Tulsa is as
well known as any of the other places,
regardless of size and age.
The train will go as far east as
Pennsylvania and as far north as Chi
cago, and will be purely an advertis-
ing expedition.
About fifteen towns along the Frisco
lines in eastern Oklahoma will be rep
resented on this train, and the com
mercial club in each town now in
cluded in the list is entitled to have
five representatives aboard and to
carry all of the advertising matter
they desire. The train will commence
at Vinita and pick up the delegations
down the Denison division and on the
Paris division in the southeastern part
.of the state.
AS yet Tulsa has not been mentioned
by the Frisco company nor has the
Tulsa Commercial Club been invited
to ride the booster, but the matter
will be taken up by the club with the
Frisco. 1t is admitted, however. that
all arrangements have not been COM
pleted.
The train will be assembled at Mus
kogee and this will be the starting
point. A special car should be given to
the Tulsa Commercial club and it's rep
resentatives the privilege to do with
it as they like and the town would
make big showing. The train will
stop at the important commercial CEN
ters en- route and without doubt this
section of the state will reap large
benefits from the advertising thus Sc
cured. The train. is run at the ex-
pense of the Frisco and purely for the
purpose of attracting attention of peo-
pie looking for new homes in the
southwest.

orarily with Driler Wetstine on the
afternoon tower from noon until mid
night so as to keep the machine going
day and night and it has been expect
ed that Craft would arrive at any mo-
ment. Letters of inquiry and tele-
grams have been received from Penn
sylvania and Mrs. Craft is making
every effort possible to locate Mr.
Craft. 1t is feared that he has met
with foul play some where on the road
Mr. Starr says that Craft is a strictly
sober and Industrious young man, has
excellent habits, owes nobody and is in
good financial circumstances and so
far as can be seen there is no cause
for his disappearance unless it be foul
play some where.

Better Seed Train Drew
10000 People on it's Tour

more trains are scheduled for the
present year One is bacon special"
to be run over the Frisco and Rock
Island lines next April, the ultimate
object being to induce farmers to raise
more and better hogs suitable for max
ing bacon.
The other is "the milo special, ;"
which the Rock Island officials have
just authorized to make a tour of the
southwestern lines of the Rock Island
system, commencing in March. The
object of this train is to induce farm
ers in the dry sections to raise milo
maize, the great dry farming crop,
Milo maize was raised in Custer county
last year that made 95 bushels per
acre without drop of rain, while corn
in that section was a complete failure.
