Rapid City, S. D.-By %quashing an

dent of the Hewlett Hide and Fur

wolf bounties. through the auditors

At the spring session of the feder-
ii grand jury John f.. Fall and David
\. Fall, his brother, auditor and
deputy auditor of Pennington county.
we're indicted for the illegal use of
he United States mails in adjust
'ng wolf bounty claims. The indict-
nent of the Falls was based on
testimony presented to the jury by
Hewlett and the production of his
socks and papers showing transac-
lions with tire auditors office. Fol
lowing the indictment of the Falls,
Hewlett was also indicted on an al
legged similar offense. His attorneys
at the time the indictment issued
filed a motion to quash or the
grounds that Hewlett was immune
from prosecution under the fifth
amendment to the constitution
which provides that . person cannot
be compelled to give testimony when
under subpoena which will incrim-
nate himself. Hewlett alleged in an
affidavit that Assistant United States
Attorney Norris promised him inn

WON'T ADMIT
CANAL DISPUTE.
ADMINISTRATION WON'T CON-
SENT UNTIL ALL DIPLOMATIC
RESOURCES HAVE BEEN
EXHAUSTED.

Washington, d. C.-Although the
state department will authorize no
statement to that effect, 1t is e. <
pected here that the administration
will decline to admit the question Of
the right of the United States to re-
lieve its own shipping from tolls in
the Panama canal to go to arbitra-
ton. This position Of the govern
ment, it Is said, may not be develop
ed fully for some time.
While the British protest delivered
yesterday intimated a purpose to
demand an arbitrament decision in
the event that more careful study
of the Panama canal toll act bore
out the impression conveyed by the
first reading that 1t is in violation
of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, If the
usual course in diplomatic exchanges
follow there must be many argu-
ments and counter arguments sub
mitted on both sides before the re-
sources of diplomacy would be ex-.
hausted, thus warranting a demand
for arbitration. III ii
The British foundation for. such q
demand rests upon the broad state
ment of two snecial treaties between
American and Great Britain in addi-
ton to the great general convention
creating the Hague tribunal and
binding all other parties to adjust
their disputes by recourse to its
methods. =

dividual to cast his vote as his judy
ment dictates, but when a candidate
on the ticket of any political party,
is so hopelessly out of harmony with
the official procedure of that party,
that he cannot help to promote its
interests, honor and decency demand
that he surrender his opsition on such
ticket to one no is in sympathy

These electors We're nominated at

dates on the state and congressional

cans in this state who desire an OPP
portunity OF voting the republican
ticket on nationals as we'll as state

them by the action of the Huron con
ventlon. These republicans feel that
they have been betrayed that prin-
clple has been sacrificed for pelf.

Atlanta, Ga.-Senator A. O. Bacon
of Georgia. today scathingly criticized
Taft for ordering American soldiers
to Nicaragua. He denounced Taft's
order as Contrary to the constitu-
ton and without any authority Of
law"
"1n my opinion, the sending of the
infantry and armed soldiers into Mic
taraugua BY the president without au-
'hority from conerccs is not only
without authority of law. but absolu-
tely in violation of law" said Bacon.
t'Of course it is recognized that UNI
der certain conditions small bodies
of marines may be landed in a for
'eign country, for instance to protect
American consulates, but that Is q
very different matter from sending
an army into a foreign country to
take sides between two contending
factions within that country.
"If three or four thousand troops
a be sent, why not thirty or forty
thousand? A larger force could be
sent into some large country by the
president with equal propriety and
ustification-M Mexico, for instance.
eff such action is really necessary,
then 1t is the duty of the president to
report the matter to congress and
have congress authorize the move
ment. That duty is vested in congress
by the constitution and o given to
the president.

lated at Huron; that was a straight
republican convention, under and
in harmony with our laws govern
ing" That is the only way a straight
republican ticket is provided for. 1t
is strictly in harmony with the law
which Mr.. Silsby is anxious should
govern.
There is no ground in law or NOR
ais for The claim that the republican
voters OF this state are under obi
cation to put IN the state ticket the
names of electors pledged to vote for
MIR. Taft, they have both a legal and
a moral right to put on their state
ticket electors to vote for any presid-
entail candidate they may see fit to
vote for in the electoral college.
The presidential electors in this
state were chosen by the representa-
tive republicans of this state, in a
legally constituted convention, and
not by a national convention, and
after they are elected, those presiden-
tial electors are in duty bound to rep
resent their state and not the nat
ional convention.
Doesn't Accept TAFT.
If Mr.. Silsby is not satisfied with
the action of the Republican state
convention, and prefers to vote the
democratic tickct,-that is his priv
ileee. The convention would not en-
dorse Mr.. Taft.-it would not pledge
him support, then why should the
presidential electors do so? Do you
think Mr. Silcht- fhnt thn yn,,,l1i
can party of this state in it's onven
ton, which was in perfect harmony
With the primary law. said to their
presidential electors there chosen,
" Don't vote for Mr.. Taft" And it is
not for Mr.. Silsby, or any II else,
to say that such elector has left the
republican party. The Taft men. so
hopelessly in the minority in that
now threaten that unless
these electors pledge themselves to
vote for Mr.. Taft, or resign that
others may, they will bolt the action
of the party convention, and vote the
ticllet,-that is their pri-
filege, but in doing so they have left
the party, when the majority pledged
to support every republic
candidate named at the primar-
les in June. AS for me, / shall remain
n the republican party and shall try
to subserve the wishes of the party
expressed in it's platform adopted
ut Huron.
Mr., Silsby quoted, "They that are
not for us are against u.s." Surely, it
would seem that the republican party
n this state is against you, after they
had refused to pledge support to Mr..
Taft. With what i have already said
n reply to the published letter to Mr..
Bruell. this ends further discussion
through the newspapers. Let it be
understood that | shall not resign as
IN clector nominated by the party at
Huron.
