VIOLATED CONTRACT LABOR LAW
New England Manufacturers on Trial
for Importing Mill Operatives
as Strikebreakers.

Boston, Nassau expose of al
legged violations of the alien contract
labor laws by New England manufac-
turers may follow the arrest of Arthur
Saville of Bradford, England, whose
hearing on a charge of importing mill
operatives to take the place of strik-
ers at the mills is now on.
Sensational developments were pre-
dicted by Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and
other strike leaders. They say it was
on their representations to the fed
eral immigration officials that the in
vestigation was started.
Twenty-Five mill operatives, who say
they were bound for Barre from Eng
land, were detained here as witnesses
against Saville.

STUBS is REPUBLICAN NOMINEE
Governor Has More Than Enough
Legislative Districts to Assure
Nomination.

Topeka, Kansas.-While Senator
Curtis claims and appears to have
popular majority in Kansas, Gov.
Stubs has walked away with the Re-
publican nomination for United States
senator.
Curtis has carried the popular vote
by 1000 or 5000 popular majority
over Stubs, but the governor has
about 80 legislative districts cut of
the 165 and has the nomination.
On the face of the returns received
at various headquarters Gov. Stubs
has now 81 legislative districts uncon-
tested by Curtis claims Curtis has
70 districts not contested by Stubs.
1t requires SO districts to nominate
The returns available give Stubs
actually an even 80 districts.
Returns from Sedgwick county at
midnight substantiated Stubs claim
to two legislative districts in the coun-
ty, giving Curtis only one district.

Democratic State Convention.

Santa F9.-The Democratic State
convention to name a candidate for
Congress and three Democratic nomi-
nees for state electors, will be held in
Albuquerque, Monday, September 9th,
at 10 a. M, according to the decision
of the executive committee of the
State Central committee at a
meeting held here. At that time, also
the State Central committee will be
reorganized A basis of apportionment
was fixed, one delegate for every one
hundred votes cast for Governor Will
liam c. Mcdonald This will make the
convention number 315 delegates.
Should New Mexico have three or
four electoral votes in the electoral
college? That is the question which
must be decided. There are advocates
for both positions. Some hold that
the state has two congressman and
two senators and therefore should be
entitled to four electoral votes as pro-
vided by the law governing the case.
L ne QUIET sue lnSlSlS ludl lu6 GleC-
toral college is made up from the Of
fetal register of the Congress of the
United States under the laws then ex-
listing. The Houston reapportionment
act, which is now in effect, decreased
New Mexico's representation to one
congressman, and therefore gives the
state but three electors, if this argu-
ment holds. The matter was extern
sively discussed in the meeting of the
executive committee of the Demo.
Gratis held here, and it seems probable
that the call will be issued for three
delegates, although authorities are be-
ing consulted, with view to deter
mining definitely.
The executive committee also de-
cided that in the coming convention
no proxies would be recognized I'M
less held by some person residing in
the same county with the man who
gave the proxy.

CONSTABLE A FEUD VICTIM
HAD TESTIFIED AGAINST CATTLE
THIEVES.
Forum Quarrel Has Continued for
Two Years-Dead Man Long
Feared Vengeance.

Muskogee, Oklahoma.-DanF Foster,
a constable, was shot and killed
from ambush on lonely country road
in the southern part of Muskogee
county, adding one more murder to the
Davis-Hester, or, as it is more com.
monty known, Forum feud, which, dur.
ing the last two years, has cost
score of lives.
Fosters body was found in the
road with two bullet holes in the head
In weed field nearby was found the
ambush of the assassin. His tracks
led to where he had his horse con.
cealed, but there the trail was lost.
Evidently the crime was committed
during a heavy electrical storm.
Foster once was a member of the
Davis faction but later is said to- have
deserted them, joining the Hester fac
ton. Several months ago he was
brought back from Montana to testify
against Bob Davis and Pony Starr,
charged with stealing cattle. On his
testimony many of the secrets Of the
feud were revealed. Davis and Starr
were convicted
Foster had stated but a few days
ago that he feared that he would be
killed if he remained in the county.
He had been in penitentiary four
times, convicted of counterfeiting,
larceny and bootlegging.
The scene of most of the battles in
the feud is near the town of Forum,
around which the leaders of both fac.
tons live From the town the feud
derives the name by which it is more
commonly known.
