Rock Island, ILL.,, March 27.-As a
result of continuous rioting since the
killing of three men when the police
fired into mob that stormed the po-
lice station last night, Sheriff o. l..
Bruner today telegraphed Governor
Deneen for a full regiment of soldiers
after he, Mayor H. M. Schriver and
other municipal commissioners held a
long conference with leading citizens
of all political affiliations.
What at first was believed to be an
unsuccessful attempt to assassinate
the mayor, whose movement to expel
from the city all undesirable citizens"
started a hot-bed of opposition TO him,
which resulted in a riotous condition,
turned out to be an accident.
Sheriff Bruner, after an investiga-
ton, declared the shot was fired by
a deputy sheriff accidently while load
ing riot gun. Mayor Schriver in a
statement issued asserted the entire
disturbance was caused by his efforts
to enforce the law against disorderly
houses and chop suey joints.
He ordered all saloons closed until
quiet has been restored and asserted
that further public assemblages where
political addresses may be made, will
not be allowed for the present.

ROOSEVELT
LOST OUT
in n. YORK
Beaten in Every District Where
a Fight Was Made
Won Seven Delegates That Had
Been Conceded to Him
Taft Gets 50 0ut Of 90 Dele
gates Elected Yesterday
1T WAS A FARCE
SAYS ROOSEVELT.

Fort Wayne, Ind, March 27.-
Thoroughly aroused by the out
come of the primary in New York
yesterday in which Roosevelt
forces were defeated, Roosevelt, on
his way to Chicago for a speech
there tonight declared today that
the whole proceeding was a farce.
He gave out this statement:
"In New York state as a whole
there was no real vote Of the re-
publican party, whatever. Outside
New York City the primary law
is a farce. Inside the city it has
been shown to be criminal farce.
Even as II Is one-fourth of the
delegates are straight Roosevelt
men and Of the remaining three
fourths, the great majority of
those elected from New York City
have no more claim to sit in a
republican convention than If
they were sent to II by Tammany
hall, for they were elected by
methods more outrageous than the
worst methods Tammany hall it
self ever employed in an election.
I'm my Chicago speech tonight
shall take this matter up in de-
tail, and explain why these men
In no shape or way represent the
republican party and why no ac-
ton of theirs should be accepted
as representative OF or binding
to the republican party.
"It will be a fighting speech"

COAL STRIKE
END in sight
Miners Have Decided to Vote
on Wage Bill

London, March 27.-British coal own
ers after a prolonged session this aft
ernoon resolved to accept the minimum
wage bill. This means that all mines
viii be opened to the men as soon as
they desire to return to work.
At full meeting of the miners fed
GRAFTON it was decided to take an i'm
mediate ballot among the men as to
whether they desire to accept the gov
ernment's wage bill and return to
work. The federation decided that bal
lot papers must be returned not later
than April 3, when the federation VIII
reassemble at Manchester to count the
votes.
The miners leaders of the federated
area anticipate the acceptance of the
wage bill by the miners there, while
those from South Wales and Scotland
expect strong majority against 1t.

New York, March 27.-DeIegates to
the republican national convention
favoring the nomination of Roosevelt
were defeated in yesterdays New
York primaries in every district where
they were opposed by candidates de-
signated by the regular republican
organization and claimed by followers
Of Taft.
The Taft campaign managers de-
clared today at least eighty-th Of
New York's ninety delegates would go
to Chicago favoring the presidents
nomination. This estimate included
four deIegaes at large to be chosen by
the state convention.
The remaining seven delegates were
designated by the regular district or
ganizations, but were conceded to
Roosevelt
Roosevelt lost out in two fights his
supporters made upstate and the re-
turns from the fifteen contested dis
tricts in New York City and Long
Island gave his opponents plurality
averaging more than two to one.
Rooseveles supporters are now ex-
pected to concentrate their attention
on the state convention in the effort
to prevent Taft men from sending to
Chicago an instructed delegation. The
primary law in operation yesterday
did not permit specific instructions for
delegates at the time they were elected.
The leaders concede the action of the
New York delegation viii be influence
ed somewhat by the returns in other
states that hold primaries or conyen-
tions during the interval before the
New York convention.
Rooseyelt's campaign managers con-
fined statements to declarations re-
garding the confusion that reigned in
New York City from the failure to de-
liver an adequate number OF ballots.
Former Judge Charles H. Duel, chair
man OF the Roosevelt citizens com
mittee and Chairman Koenig Of the
republican county committee, both de-
cIared they would appeal to Governor
Dix for second primary in New York
City.

This May be Done by Packers
Of Own Accord
A PROPOSITION is MADE
SAID THAT AS SOON AS PACKERS
AND ATTORNEYS GET RESTED
UP THEY WILL TACKLE MAT
ER or SPLITTING UP THEIR
INTERESTS.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 27.--Whether the
National Packing Co., the $15,OOo,O0O
corporation which the government
charged was the basis of the illegal
conspiracy alleged against ten leading
packers, will be now voluntarily dis
solved was today a much discussed
question.
According to one report the packers
and their attorneys as soon as they
have rested from the stress of the
trial will take up the terms of dis
solution. The ownership in the cor
poration is vested in the interest of
Swift Morris and Armour in the ratio
Of AZ, 40 and Is per cent, and the pro-.
position is TO nave eacn plant of the
company taken over by one of the
joint owners.
One of the first results Of the pro-
secution of the packers has been the
withdrawal of all the defendants from
the directorate of the National, except
Edward Tilden, the president.

TUREp MAN.

liam Pearson Of Minneapolis, charged
with killing George G. Douglas, the
Pequot farmer who resided on the
shore of Pelican Lake. has confessed
all the details of the crime He is
said to have written out the gruesome
story of how he crawled up the lad
der to the room where Douglas was
seated at a table and committed the
murder. The sheriff and coroner re-
fuse to say much about the confess
sion except to confirm the story that
the prisoner had made one.
The coroner's jury at Pequot re-
turned verdict that Douglas came
to his death by revolver wounds in
flicted on his head and face by a
hammer and revolver welded by one
Billy Pearson on March 49," Pearson's
brothers are expected in Brainerd to
arrange a defense for the prisoner.
George Q. Douglas, the murderer's
victim, was man Of culture He was
at one time dean of the pharmacy
department of Iowa university and
later taught an Indian school in South
Dakota. Illness made it necessary for

up a homestead adding to his hold
ings in later years by purchasing land
from the government. His house was
originally designed as barn and the
lower floor was used as a granery.
The upper floor was his room.
OF interest in the case is the let
ter which Douglas wrote his sister,
Mrs. Otis F. Edwards, of Havelock,
Iowa. Douglas said he expected
trouble Of some kind and told them
IL they saw anything in the paper
about him they should not worry. He
wrote that Pearson was continually
hanging around his place and asking
for money.

CASS Will
ignore Law
Assessors VIII Not Get Voters
Affiliations
--
Other Counties Of State May
Follow Suit

Cass county will ignore the new law
requiring assessors to make registra-
tion Of the voters. Since Assistant
Attorney General zuger has given an
opinion the law is unconstitutional, 1t
is probable that other counties will
drop the matter. Zuger held that
there was nothing in the constitution
to authorize the enactment of the
affidavit clause.
County Auditor Leech and States
Attorney Fowler talked the matter
over this morning and will put the
registration up to the county commits
sioners.
With the new law cut out it is pre-
sumed the old method of registration
will be continued.
1t seems it would be more thorough
to make a test case and have the SUI
preme court decide the matter defin-
itely rather than to rely on the opin-
ion from the attorney generals office.
The decision might be the same but it
would be final

GIBBONS MASTER
OF JACK DENNING

New York, March 27.--Once more
Mike Gibbons, the st. Paul fighter
showed himself the master of Jack
Denning, the local middleweight in the
ring Of the Fairmont Athletic club last
night. Thanks to his unwillingness to
go at top speed, except in short
stretches, Gibbons was unable to win
by a knockout as he had predicted.
In the fourth round Gibbons made
one of his spurts along toward the end
of the three minutes, and right
hook to the jaw sent Denning down
for a long count Denning was just
able to get to his feet at mine" and
although there was still half minute
of the round to go, Gibbons did not
take advantage of the wabbly condi-
tion of his opponent to send over the
sleep punch.

hospitals and undergoing two opera
tons in twelve months was recently
persuaded by neighbor to give her
Vinol. am more than thankful to
say she obtained immediate relief in
general, as previous to using Vinol she
could not sleep at night or create an
appetite in any possible manner, being
