Socialists Lack Harmony.

Indianapolis, May 15.-"Progres-
sive opportunists'' and immediate
revolutionists' opposed each other at
the opening of yesterdays session of
the Socialist national convention.
This was the division of the 900 dele
gates upon the election of platform
and resolutions committees, won by
the "opportunists" or conservatives"
led by-Congressman Victor Berger of
Wisconsin, and Charles Edward Rus
sell of New York by large majorities.
Determined not to ALLEVIATE trades
unions affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor by adopting a
platform approving the "labor unit"
scheme of the Industrial Workers of
the World, the platform committee,
the majority's leaders said, would
submit a plan of action reiterating
the Socialist program but ignoring
the demand of the revolutionary wing
for an immediate upset of the capital
istic system and taking over of the
means of production by the "work
ers."

no opposition. The representatives
of the Ninth district who will 20 to
Chicago are F. S. Lycan, of Bemidji,

ganization of the Ninth district Re-
publican convention was completed
here this morning when A. G. Ander-
son, of Fergus Falls, was elected per-
rlanent chairman; Fred Dennis, of
Detroit, formerly secretary to Con-
gresham Stevenson, permanent sec
rotary; and R. J. Bell, of Roseau
county, assistant secretary.
The convention was due to start at
10 a. m. this morning but did not OPP
en- until after II because of the late
arrival of the delegates from Clay
county. A. l.. Hanson, of Ada, was
recommended by the convention to
the state convention to be held in
Minneapolis tomorrow as a delegate
at large from Minnesota to Chicago.
Three delegates at large are to be
elected at Minneapolis.
Up to this time, harmony has
marked the convention. The contest
for delegate that was expected be-
tween F. S. Lycan, of Bemidji, and
w. A. Marin of Crookston, has been
settled in the committee on nomina-
tons. The men named by the COM
mittee to go to Chicago are F. S. Ly-

Becker county as alternate, and C.
L. Stevens, of Warroad, with Ed
Mattson, Of Wilkin county, as alter

WANTS A SECOND. TRIAL
Dumas Attorneys Appealing to su-
preme Court From Decision By
Judge McClenahan.
RESTS ON A TECHNICALLY

}
Arguments in the appeal of DR..
Delbert F. Dumas from the order of
Judge w. s. Mel lenahan, denying a
motion for q new trial on the indict-
ment for attempt to commit arson in
the third degree, 1n-connection with
the store at Puposky, in Beltrami
county, will be heard tomorrow in
the supreme court. Freeman p. Lane
of Minneapolis will represent DR.. Du-
mas and Alexander L. James, assist
ant attorney general, will appear for
the state.
Dumas, at that time mayor of Cass
Lake, was convicted largely upon the
testimony of Martin Behan, who, with
Mike. Davis, notorious criminal, en-
tered the store, but before attempt
ing to carry out their plans, were
driven from the place by the fire of
the sheriff's posse Another import
ant witness was Robert D. Smyth,
manager of the store in Puposky, who
testified that he had arranged with
DR.. Dumas to burn the building. Du-
mas was to furnish the men for the
work.
The state, in its brief filed today
by the attorney general, argues that
the defendant had done everything
in his power to complete his share of
the crime. The evidence on the part
of the state went further than mere
solicitation on the part Of the defend
ant to commit criminal act, and
from the first solicitation of Smyth
tohave his building, as the defendant
supposed, burned at Puposky, down
to the entry of Davis and Behan into
the building and their shooting and
their flight, where many acts done by
the defendant and his agents all tend
ing toward the completion of the
crime, : the brief says, "and which
would have resulted in the completed
act if the same had not-been frustrat-
ed by the officers of the law The
brief concludes that the defendant
had left no stone unturned for the
completion of his act.

Allowed to Leave Store Unmolested
Although Neighbors Knew of
the Shooting.
INQUEST TO BE HELD SATURDAY
Body Will Be Brought From Kelli-
her Tomorrow-Hearing On Re-
turn of Torrance.

Kelliher, May 15.-(SpeciaD-
Coroner Ibertson left this morning for
Bemidji after having viewed the body
of David Vidstrom yesterday at the
homestead Of Charles Swaziland. Mr..
1bertson says that Swaziland is still
at large but was seen twice yester-
day afternoon and is known to be in
the country. Sheriff Hazen has per-
sonal charge of the chase and it is
expected that Swaziland will be
brought in today.
The story of the shooting, as pieced
from the tales of neighbors, is that
Vidstrom went over to Swanland's
home Sunday night for butter and
eggs. He was given the butter and
told to come Monday morning for
the eggs. He came over early Mon
day morning, received the eggs and
started home and was shot by Swan
land a short way from the house.
Swaziland is said to have been in
the habit of staying in bed late in the
morning but that on Monday he arose
before his wife and saw Vidstrom
when he came. Vidstrom is bach
elor and it is said that Swaziland
thought Vidstrom was paying too
much attention to the formers wife.
Mrs. Swaziland was not dressed when
Vidstrom was over and did not see
the shooting.
After the shooting, Swaziland re-
turned to the house telling his wife
he had shot a woodchuck. He packed
provisions, money and ammunition
and struck into the woods. At p.
m. yesterday, he entered a store at
Otto and bought bacon but was al
lowed to leave unmolested although
neighbors knew of the shooting He
left in the direction of his home but
at 3 o'clock was seen about three
miles from Otto in another direction,
evidently having left the road and
circled through the woods.
Vidstrom's body will be brought to
Kelliher today and shipped to Be-
midi tomorrow. An inquest will
probably be held in Bemidji Friday
or Saturday. 1t is understood here
that the sheriff is close on Swan
lands trail and that he will be cap
tured. The Swaziland homestead is
about five miles from Otto.
Time for the inquest has been set
by County Attorney Torrance for 10
a. m. Saturday.
