 According to dispatches received here, the brutality that has occurred in the various cities is of horrible nature. Executions are taking place daily at Wu Chow, on the slightest pretext, the gov ernment troops firing yolleys at them from a distance of only five yards and their mutilated bodies left in the streets for the pigs and dogs to devour.
 Secret meetings have been held by tho citizens of Wn Chow to plan vengeance OF the officials engaged in carrying out the executions. A force of 1000 soldiers Is stationed in the city, but piracy is an every day occurrence.

Dick, that some of the other California delegates whose seats have not yet been contested were not elected in accordance with the national committees call. It is question of whether we will abandon the principle of electing delegates by districts established in 1880 and return to the principle of choosing them by state units
 Committeeman Lyons of Texas asked MT. Dick how he proposed to institute contests against any of the other Cali fornia districts. The committee had ai- ready listed the uncontested Roosevelt delegates on the convention temporary roll before former Senator Dick made his request.
 ''We only wish to present the case to the committed" said Mir. Dick.
 Senator Crane moved to delay the Cali fornia case until some other time Sena- tor Borah said there was no reason for delay There was nasty conference be- tween Senator Crane and Francis J. Heney of the Roosevelt forces.

MUST SERVE TIME
 FOR LAND FRAUDS

Washington, June 10--The eight-year struggle of Frederick A. Hyde and J. H. Schneider to escape imprisonment for all legcd conspiracy to defraud the govern ment out of lands in California and Ore gon, ended in failure today when the supreme court found no error in their conviction in the District of Columbia. It was one of the famous Hand fraud" cases of it's time. Hyde had been fined $1o,o00 and sentenced to prison for two years: Schneider had been fined and sen- tenced to prison for one year and two months.
 In its decision the supreme court holds that conspiracy to violate federal laws can be punished in any state where an overt act was done to further that con spiracy.
 Justice McKenna laid down the doc Urine, which was supported by Chief Jus tice White and Justices Day, VanDevan- ter and Pitney. Justice Holmes dissented and with him were Justices Lurton, La mar and Hughes. Justice Lamar declared trial should be only where the conspir- acy was entered into.
 As an immediate result of the decision Hyde and Schneider of California were held guilty of land fraud conspiracy, as found by trial in the district court of the District of Columbia. Hyde and Schnei- der, with John A. Benson and Henry P Dimon, were indicted here in 1904 It was alleged in the indictment they eonspired to get title to large areas of school land and exchange it under the law of 1897. It also was charged they bribed em- ployes of the general land office at Wash ington to expedite the exchange and get certain information Benson and Dimon were acquitted.

RATE CONFERENCE IS

matters will be taken up in the con- ference.
 The opinion largely prevails among other officials and among those who have kept abreast with the situation that the railroads wish to settle with the state upon some amicab1e basis. Whether they will restore the old rates or not, or wish to do so, Is not known, but 1t Is believed that the matter will be compromised.
 Governor O'Neal is also noncommittal on the subject. It is known that the chief executive is exerting every ef- fort to settle the railroad rate difficulty on as equitable a basis as possible, and that Judge Weakley and MT. Selheimer are thoroughly In accord with his ideas covering the subject. The governor is trying to adjust all matters with ref erence to the rate situation in a way that will be entirely acceptable to the people of the state and at the same time relieve the state from other agi- tation on the rate proposition The gov- ernor has given considerable thought to the question since its final determin- ation by Federal Judge Jones and it Is anticipated that he will be able. with the assistance of the attorney general and Attorneys Selheimer and Weakley. to arrive at an equitable and amicahls adjustment of the entire situation with in the near future.
 It Is not known when the conference between the state and railroad off cials will be held, but the meeting will probably take place during the present week. The roads have until the 18th of June before they will be allowed to put the. old rates back into effect and 1t is believed that they will first con- fer with the governor and other of- ficials before taking this step

Montgomery, June 10.=tSpecia1.)- The conference that was to have taken place today in the office of Governor the Western Railway of Alabama and the Central of Georgia railroad has been postponed until another time. A telegram was received at the governors s office late this morning to the effect that certain of the railroad officials were not able to be present and re- questing that the conference be post poned.
 State officials were prepared to meet the railroad representatives. Judge Samuel D. Weakley and IL c. Selheimer, both of Birmingham, the two attorneys whom former Governor Conner em- ployed to assist the state in railroad rate litigation, came to Montgomery early this morning to be present at the conference. The members of the rail- road commission were also in the city
 Just what will be the nature of the conference is a matter largely of con- lecture. The meeting of state and rail- way officials was to have been held at the request of the latter who declared that they wished to confer with the governor and other state representa- tives before taking any action rela- tive to Judge Jones' decree, permitting them to re-establish the old rates.
 State officials refuse to discuss the situation, declaring that inasmuch as the conference was requested by rep resentatiyes of the railroads it would not be just to attempt to say what
