Banks Officers, Warned Of HoIdup
Plans, Killed Leader Of
Band.

Thayer, Mo-, June 21.-An attempt
was made at noon to rob the Citizens
bank of Mammoth Springs, Ark, two
miles south of here. The bank au-
thorities were warned several days
ago by two young men who were in
the plot. Officers heavily armed were
hid in the bank.
The two informants entered the
bank with Ben Jones, who was to
commit the robbery. Jones was dis
gnised as an old man. Instead of going
to the cashiers window, he passed
behind the counter, drew revolver
and demanded the money. The as
sistant cashier, who is a woman,
gave him two bags of silver and went
into the vault.
The officers then opend fire on
Jones, who returned the shots. He
received numerous wounds. but stag

The minority report was tabled, 564

A viva voce vote was adopted on a

Chicago, June 22.-The TAFT forces
in the Republican national convention
further demonstrated their control OF
that body. The convention took up
piecemeal the contests from many
states, and in each instance the TAFT
delegates were declared entitled to
their seats by majorities ranging from
a high water Taft vote of sos to 464
to a narrow margin of 542 to 49,
The latter vote was in the Cali
fCrnia case, in which the convention
rules for selection of delegates by
congressional districts came into con-
fiict with the state primary law pro-
vfding for a state wide vote on all
delegates. Through this technicality
the Taft forces claimed the two dele.
gates from the fourth district. The
case was bitterly fought and the vot-
ing was followed with the greatest in
terest, especially when It was seen
that the Taft people were losing many
of the delegates that had been. with
them in other contests.
When adjournment was taken until
10 o'clock in the morning. the Texas
and Washington contests cases still
remained to be dealt with, and there
was likelihood Of more bitterness be-
tween the opposing forces.
Good Hufnor at Last.
After the California case had been.
disposed of, however, the delegates
seemed to be in much better humor.
There was much fun and merriment
during the late afternoon as the minor
contests were pushed through without
serious opposition from the Roosevelt
people. There were many humorous
illusions to the steam roller" and
frequent choruses of "choo. choo,"
The convention is about to enter

ton unprecedented in the history of
