Taft Guns to Be
Trained on Voters
Of South Dakota

Evidence Of the activity of the Taft
forces in the West was seen this af-
terpoon when Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson. accompanied by Congressman
Martin and Burke of South Dakota,
started for Huron, s. D., to attend the
Taft mass convention, which will be
held the latter part of this week at that
place.
Senator Gamble already is in South
Dakota and will attend the convention.
Senator Cr" -'forH Nn'ng insurgent and
ed to Mr.. Taft, will not attend
The purpoe~ convention Is to
get ready for the Presidential prim-
aries Of South Dakota. The Taft forces
are much concerned over the activity
OF the La Toilette supporters in the
State. and they are trying their utmost
to counteract 1t. The convention will
concern itself only with Presidential
matters, and not with, Senatorial or
Congressional matters.
Secretary Wilson Is going to Huron
to represent the Administration and to
make the keynote speech. In view Of
the opposition to the reciprocity policy
of the Administration, in South Da-
kCta 1t Is the expectation that he will
ray something to smooth over the ruff
fled feelings Of the farmers there. ,
to make the Administration speech
Is interesting in view Of the reports
some time ago that he would leave
the Cabinet. His going to South Da-
kota as the personal representative
of Mr.. Taft is considered sufficient
to retain him through his Admins
tration.

and William Alexander, former pris-
oners at occoauan. from the decision OF
the lower court. asserting to the trans.

discovered that part OF the law re-
auiring action. by the District Supreme
Court before prisoners might be re-
moved to Occoquan had not been COM
piled with. The corporation counsel.
however, 'obtained an order on July s
from Justice Anderson asserting to the
transfer Of the prisoners, and counsel
for Fiske and Alexander appealed.
In the motion to dismiss Il was
claimed no question was presented by
the record authorizing or requiring ju-
dicial determination. It also was set
forth that the District Court of Appeals
had no jurisdiction to review the ac-
ton Of the lower court. The upper
courts decision maintains II has no
Jurisdiction. The original question in.

COURT OF APPEALS
. DECISION TO BRING
HALSTEAD TO TRIAL
Ruling Quashing Indictment
on Embezzlement Charge
Reversed.

Griffin Halstead. q former stock
broker and son Of the late Murat Hal
stead. Of Ohio. will probably have to
stand trial In the District Criminal
Court on charges OF embezzlement and
obtaining money under false pretenses,
the District Court of Appeals having
reversed the lower courts decision
quashing the Indictment, in an opinion
handed down today.
The Indictment, which contained seven
counts. was presented October 3, 1910,
and 1t is alleged to have been based on
evidence obtained from the books and
records in the hands of a receiver OF
alstead's business affairs, he having
gone into bankruptcy prior to the filing
Of the charges against him.
Counsel for Halstead contended that
the use Of Halstead's books against him
was a violation Of his Constitutional
rights. They argued that the Fourth
Amendment. which provided that the
right Of the people to be secure in their
persons. houses and effects against un-
reasonable searches and seizures shall
not be violated, applied, and also to
the Fifth Amendment, which directs
that a person shall not be compelled In
any criminal case to be witness
against himself.
Chief Justice Shepard held that there
was no unreasonable or unlawful
seizure" Of the defendants books and
papers.
Halstead is alleged to have swindled
clients while engaged in the brokerage
business,

Direct knowledge of
Roosevelt Candidacy
Shakes White House

The fact that the friends of Presi-
dent Taft have been told positively
that Theodore Roosevelt will accept
the: Republican Presidential nomina-
ton II 1t Is offered to him has de-
moralized the Executive routine of
the White House. Today the Presi-
dent did not even visit the White
House offices: the Cabinet meeting
was called off, and Secretary Hilles
disappeared
1t was said on good authority that
Secretary Hilles had gone to New
York last night with Otto Barnard,
who has been a guest of the Presi-
dent for two days. This trip was
made, 1t was said, with the idea of
an important conference in New York
today of the Presidents friends.
The story of Mr. Hilles' visit tn
the metropolis was not confirmed at
the Executive Offices, but the fact
that he has left the city was given
out The destination of the Secretary
and political manager was not men
circles.
The first indication at the White
tt3S h9use that something is wrong came
Ialied to appear at the Executive Of

According to thhe best Information
"A mob of 100 heavily armed men en-

They have taken the peace Officers

ason says he Is unable to cope with
the situation.
The county seat tight has been
one Of the bitterest political fights in
the hlstory OF eastern Oklahoma. Aft
er Jay defeated Grove for the county
seat fight developed between two
factions at Jay. one claimed that old
Jay was the proper county seat and
the other claimed New Jay was the
legal location of the court house. The
fight went TO the supreme court
which decided the court house should
be located at New Jay. The records
at that time were at Old Jay and the
situation became so critical that Gov
ernor Cruce dispatched Adjutant Cen
eral Frank Canton of the Oklahoma
a place designated by the court. In
the meantime an Injunction was is
sued by the supreme court enjoining
the removal Of the records. but be-
fore it could be served, Adjutant Gem
eral Canton had removed them. He
was then cited to appear before the
supreme court on chharge OF con-
tempt, but the charge was never
pressed
