STATE PRIMARY ON
IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Ten Delegates to Be Chosen
to Both National Con-
VentionS.
(NationAl News Association

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., June 4.-Bal-
loting in the statewide primary at
which ten delegates will be chosen to
the national convention at Baltimore
and Chicago is under way. The early
vote was light. There are three dele
gate lists on the Republican ticket,
representing Taft, Roosevelt and La
Toilette. while Wilson and Clark are
battling on the Democratic side. The
delegate lists are under separate heads
clearly indicating what candidate they
will support. Taft leaders believe that
the contest between La Toilette and
Roosevelt would weaken the progress
sive vote and that Taft would win.
The others were equally confident.

FULL POWER TO Be
GRANTED TO GOMEZ
Following This Proclamation
for Martial Law Will
Be Issued.
tNationai News Association


HAVANA, June APPROXIMATION of
martial law will follow congressional
approval Of President Gomez's request
for authority to suspend constitutional
guarantees and the bloodiest cam
paign that Cuba has ever witnessed is
expected during the next two months
When members Of the house gather
ed for special session today their at
titude indicated that they would grant
full power to the president to act in
the present crisis.
Even the dispatches censored by
the government showed today that the
negro revolt has spread widely and
that horrible outrages are being com.
mitted under the banner of revolu-
ton. Outlaws have joined the forces
Of General Estonez and they are loot
ing, tortnring and burning as they
raid the property of wealthy Cubans
Many women have been mis-treated
and it was reported here early today
that ten white women had been car
ried away from one village by negro
rebels. -.----.----~~--
Only an iron hand will serve to
crush out such condition, as the
rebels are gaining courage while the
government delays. The 5000 rifles
and 100000 rounds of ammunition
which will be sent here by the U. s.
government will be of vast help.
Though President Gomez Is moving
vigorously now, the revolt is likely to
result in his downfall as it is charged
that his failure to realize the danger
was responsible for the rebels gaining
isuch an advantage.
The rebels are SO well organized
that an outbreak in Havana is feared
at any time. More than 100 arrests of
suspected persons have been made
here and in the suburbs, but the gov
eminent has been unable to gain any
trace of consignment of arms known
to have been cached for rebel USE
Every road leading into Havana was
crowded today with refugees fearing
death or worse In the outlying dis
tricts. The majority had left all their
possessions behind them and the
problem of caring for several thous-
and helpless women and children is a
serious one for the already impoverish-
ed government. ....

DYNAMITE BUILDINGS
Result of a Gambling Feud
Yesterday.
National News Association


NEW YORK, June A. Four build
ings were dynamited early today in
the big gambling feud which broke
out yesterday morning when Jack"
Selig, an east side gang leader was
shot in a gun fracass. The bomb ex-
plosions followed each other closely.
They were in Lower Fourth avenus
and st. Marks place and all the build
ings We're badly damaged. The police
say that friends of Selig or members
of his clan had been or are yet ten
ants of all the buildings. Selig, who is
known to the police as an East Side
feudist and dangerous gun fighter,
lies in the Bellevue hospital in a criti-
cal condition and may not recover.
The frst dynamite explosion was at
81 Fourth avenue where an Internal
machine had been planted in the base
ment. The second was at 103 Fourth
avenue. Two others followed in quick
succession one at 101 4th avenue and
the last at st. Marks Place. 1t is said
that Selig's followers maintained
gambling establishments in at least
one of the buildings. Others of his
friends lived in two others.
The war which started when an at
tempt was made to shoot up Louis
Poggis, Chinatown saloon, was
thought first to have arisen over q
woman but subsequently develop
ments led the police to believe that a
gambling dispute led to the hostilit-
les although a Bowery habitue known
as Wanda Murphy figures in the af-
fair. The woman is under arrest.

WORKING COUNTY PRISONERS

FROM time to time we have
read articles in number OF
newspapers and magazines re-
gs,rding the advisability of work
ing county prisoners on county
highways and county farms and
the idea has struck US rather
favoraoly. In most of the coun-
ty iails throughout the country,
prisoners. after being sentenced
to short terms, are kept behind
the bars until their terms expire
and the taxpayers Of the county
have had to stand the expense.
Where the prisoners are worked
on county work they are made
to earn a part of the expense OF
keeping them, and the effect has
been very beneficial for the
prisoner enjoys the out of door
air and the beautiful sunshine
and the county is saved the ex.
pense.
There has been instances
where persons committed petty
crimes for which they have re-
ceived sentences and the sur
roundings at the county jail, not
being the of the best, they have
gone from bad to worse and
turned out to be real criminals.
Had these persons been put out
at work where they would have
had something to occupy their
minds, a number might have
been saved from their downward
course.
In Bayfield, county it has been
the plan to work the prisoners
about the court house grounds.
but to our knowledge prisoners
have never been worked on
county highways.
The idea is one that might we'll
be considered.

inuuirina For John.

The pricking Of that soap bubbie,
pretention, is always an agreeable pas
time. In her volume Of "reminiscences,
entitled "As / Remember" Mrs. Gou-
yerneur relates that the son OF Presi-

as Prince John because he had once
danced with Queer Victoria before her
accession to the throne and was unable
to forget 1t.
One day Van Buren, met on the street
James T. Brady, who had recently re-
turned from visit to England. In
most patronizing manner he inquired
whether Brady had seen the queen.
Certainly" said Mr.. Brady, land un-
der these circumstances. l was walk
