Minneapolis, July 24.-Minnesota
progressives will clash with national
leaders of the new Progressive party
in much the same sort of struggle
that characterized the Michigan con-
vention unless Senator Dixon, Roose-
velt's campaign manager, recedes
from the position he took in Chicago.
Senator Dixon's ultimatum that
there was to be full state ticket in
every state in the Union was read to
Judge Milton D. Purdy of Minneapolis,
who signed the call for the National
Progressive convention. Judge Purdy
retorted with counter ultimatum
that fairly sums up the attitude of
Minnesota progressives.
Neither Senator Dixon nor any 9TH
er outsider can come into Minnesota
and tell us what we shall do" said
Judge Purdy. ''It Is foolish to talk of
forcing Minnesota progressives to
put a third party state ticket in the
field if they are opposed to it."
Chicago, july Ex-senator j. NJ.
Dixon, manager of the Theodore
Roosevelt third party, announced en-
phatically that a third ticket will be
put up in every state in the Union,
except where the candidates now in
the field announce their allegiance to
the new party. Minnesota will re-
ceive the same treatment as in Illinois
and Michigan, unless the candidates
there come out flatfooted for Roose-
welt
Dixon announced the new party
stood for political revolution; that it
was off with the old and on with the
new. He delivered the ultimatum
that there were to be full state tick
cts, from top to bottom, in every state.
They will be launched under the Ma
tional Progressive appellation, except
where the Roosevelt men have been
able to deliver the entire state cleo
ton machinery to the new party.
He said this new party was not a
personal asset of Colonel Roosevelt.

JOURNALIST LOSES
 HIS AUTOMOBILE
And the House of J. o. Dunbar Was
 Barely Saved.

The garage and automobile of John O. Dunbar editor of the Democrat was burned yesterday little after noon and his handsome residence in Capitol addition was barely saved by the fire department after a long but quick run.
 The fire originated in an outhouSe adjoining the garage and though the family vas at home the first notice of the fire was given them by neighbors.
 By the time the fire department ar rived, the flames had swept along a row of palm trees between the garage and the house and the roof of the latter had caught but the fire was quickly ex- tinguishcG.
 What MT. Dunbar mourns more than the destruction of his garage and auto mobile was the destruction of ten eighteen year old palm trees which had reached a height of thirty feet. The fire swept them as if they were finder. Autos and garages may be re- placed at once but it takes eighteen years to grow an eighteen year old palm tree.
 A large number of the rose bushes for which the Dunbar home is famous was destroyed as we'll as a lot of grape vines.

SHIRLEY BACK
 FROM CHICAGO
Having Attended First Con- ference of National Asso- citation of Chiropodists He Returns to Put in Prac- tice Lessons Learned

Frank Shirley, who is well known in tremities, had the pleasure of being the most travelled delegate at tn Chicago annual meeting of the national asso- citation of American chiropodists. Re turned to Phoenix yesterday, MT. Shir- lev has nothing but enthusiasm and a warm word for the effective way the conference was pulled off and says all the good attained among the collective high brOws in the profession will now be disseminated through the offices of the lucky ones present.
 Working in conjunction with medical authority. the chiropodists have been busy with all sorts of projects to in crease the efficiency of the service and elevate t,le work along all lines Al though this is the first convention of chiropOdists, the work already as- sumes an appearance that is encour- aging to say the least. pr. Joseph of New York was reelected presfInt, and most travelled delegate at the Chicago metropolis of the east'
 It is plannd to work in each state for the Lassage of laws making it nec- essary for workers in the profession to have a high school education and to be proficient in the practice. There is no surgery connected with the methods advocated by the specialists, all the work being done on the dermis, with extra care as to cleanliness and sani- tation
 The convention numbered 200 dele gates, Mir. Shirley being the farthest from home. Next year California will be largely represented.
 Papers of value to the hearers and demonstrations of great completeness were pres ented, the educational feat ure of the meeting standing out strongly. Of particular intrest was the description of free clinics the only ones of their kind, held in New York city for the benefit of those too poor to have attendance of regular practition CTS.

SHAW RETURNING
 WITH INFORMATION
Constituting Unwritten History of the
 Baltimore Convention.

Ed L. Shaw. one of the real Clark delegates which Arizona sent to the Baltimore convention, is on his way home and is expected to arrive most any time The last heard of Shaw, he was in Kansas City to which point he went after leaving Coney Island.
 The return of MT. Shaw is rather anxiOusly awaited by a large circle of admiring constituents. It viii be re- called that, according to certain tele grams received in this city, he made a gallant fight for the incorporation of certain things in the democratic plat form: and strange as it may seem Phoenix people are still in ignorance as to the outcome of that fight.
 For this reason every one will be glad when MT. Shaw gets back in order that the record may be completed and the full history of the Baltimore con- vention be revealed.

M'CL|hTOCk DESCRIBES
 GIGANTIC EGG FEAST
Postmaster Helps Wech Play It On Coast Newspapermen at Ostrich
 Egg Breakfast

Colonel McCIintOck enjoyed the ostrich egg breakfast Harry Welch the coloners self assisting, gave the Press club of San Francisco the oth- CT day. and he was moved to write the following account of the unique meal to The Republican.
 Yesterday at the Press club here on invitation of Harry Welch, myself assisting, there was held an ostrich egg breakfast, at which the piece dc r,sistance was the immensest ever bit of hen fruit, fried sunny side up, filling the largest size of meat plat ter in the center of d round table at which were seated dozen represent atives of the San Francisco papers. None had any idea what they were to see. So when the seat of honor was taken by w. w. Naughton of the Examiner and president of the club. he was moved to remark, as he viewed the eggy landscape, T haven't had drop to drink this morning and surely yesterdays potations haven't warped my eyesight today" Of course there were other things to cat but everyone had d portion of the egg, both of the red and white meat, and then there was more than enough left for the demands of all others in the club dining room. The newspaper men absorbed during the meal much information concerning Phoenix and the Salt River valley and especially covering the ostrich industry, which they had supposed confined on this continent to the CaWstOn farm at Pasadena.
 Welch played it low down that morning on q barkeep at the Palace hotel where he was stopping. Harry stepped to the bar and in his best rube manner asked of the mixer what it would cost for enough sherry to float an egg. He was cOldly in formed that the price would be 25 cents. It is d serious commentary upon the gameness of San Francisco that the barkeeper failed to make good when the ostrich egg was pro- duced.

GREAT DEAL OF CLUSTER
 BUT LITTLE EXECUTION
Opening of the Summer Rain Season in
 Phoenix

With mighty buster and fierce threats the vanguard of the summer rains arrived last night but accomp- iished little execution in this immedi- ate vicinity. For a couple of hours in the earlE part of the night there was wind, dust and lightning and a little before midnight the rain set in with d dOwnpour which soon abated it's vio- lence anl within an hour It nat settled down to mere drizzle and in another hour it was only splitting rain.
 Several sharp claps of thunder start led the natives and throughout the night there was electrical interference with the light and telegraph wires. It was not until nearly midnight that communication with the outside world was restored by telegraph.
 The lightning struck an electric light wire at South First avenue and Madi- son street and put out all lights in the vicinity The wire itself was burned in two and the sizzling ends dangled into the street for d time.
 No other casualties or damages were reported last night

MOTOR CYCLE MIKES GATHER AT COLUMBUS
Races Will Begin Next Saturday in
 New Motordome.

COLUMBUS. O., July 17.-COlum bus, which is the home of the new est half mile board track in America, was host to about 15.00 enthusiastic bcyclSts today at the biggest mo- torcycle demonstration of the year the annual national tournament and tours of the Federation of American MotOrcyclists. Today was devoted to the reception of riders and delegates Tomorrow there will be a parade in the evening. Racing will probably begin on Friday. On Saturday and Sunday the races will continue at the motordome, the visitors leaving Sun day night.
 The races are expected to be faster and more spectacular than any ever held by the federation; at the same time they will be conducted with the minimum of risk, since the board track eliminates many of the dan gerous features of the flat dirt track. National championships will be de- termined and the best riders in the country will participate in the races. One of the big features of the meet was the four national tours which preceded the meet. These tours started at Albany N. Y, Baltimore. Chicago and Louisville, each division of riders being tour master and all arrived here at the same hour this morning. the riders receiving d great demonstration.
 The Bosch MagnetO company of New York has donated a magnificent silver trophy, and will present it to the rider who accomplshes the most consistent performance in the anna teur championship races to be run during the meet. It will be known as the Basch trophy.
