covered with imperial purple drapings
decorated with gold lace and tassels.
In it were seated the vieeroy and

another native attendant holding over
their heads the great parasol which
indicates the royal dignity.
Owing to the lowness of the houses

only few feet from the viceroy and

"compromise" on Hughes.

He Left Cincinnati.
Tells the People He Was "Hit
Below the Belt"

Winchester, o., May S.-After con-
sulting with Republican leaders in
Ohio, Mr.. Taft has decided to spend
ten days more in the state before the
primaries, May 21. He will leave
Washington next Sunday for Marietta.
He will give most of his time to north
ern Ohio. The last speech of the trip
will be made at Dayton, Monday night,
May 20. and on Tuesday the president
will vote in Cincinnati and will leave
at night for Washington.
The president left Cincinnati today
for the last day of his present cam
paign tour through southern Ohio.
His schedule for the day called for
stops at fourteen towns and cities.
ending at Columbus tonight.
Mr.. Taft started his speech making
at Batavia. where he kept up his
criticism of Colonel Roosevelt.
Mr.. Roosevelt says L am distrust-
full of the people," said the presid ent.
I'm only distrustful of the people as
a court, just as would be distrustful
of their building a bridge. L would
send bridge engineers and people who
knew something about bridges" TAX
ing up Mr.. Roosevelt's proposal of the
recall, Mr.. Taft said: He is in favor
of innovation and changes that would
make the constitution worth little
more than the paper it is written on"
Portsmouth, o., May S.-"Ive been
hit below the belt and I'm here to
fight" declared President Taft in a
speech here today.
At Winchester, Seaman and PEBBLES

In his telegram Senator Dixon urged
the necessity of attendance of Bristow
and Stubbs on the floor at Chicago,
declaring their attendance would do
much for the Roosevelt candidacy.
No answer to the message sent to
Senator Dixon last night as to the le-
gality of naming eight delegates with
one-half vote each had been received
and the convention will proceed with
its original intention of naming four
delegates.
Fred Stanley of Wichita was
temporary and Governor Stubbs per-
manent chairman.
The old and vanished glories of Cope
land county as it flourished in Topeka
many years ago were revived last night
in independence when hundreds of del
egates and candidates and ofhceholders

about the columns with friends on ev-
cry side. Cy Leland, the sage of Doni-
phan, was there.
No fight developed worth speaking of.

Majority of Maryland Delegates
Favor the President.
But Are Instructed to Vote for
Col. Roosevelt.

Baltimore, May S.-The attitude of
the Taft leaders in Maryland toward
the peculiar situation that might de-
velop through the working of the new
state primary law, was still undeclared
today. While the delegates elected to
sit in the state convention appeared
on the primary ballots with no desig-
nation to indicate their affiliations,
complete unofficial returns indicate
that, leaving the matter of instruc-
tions aside, a majority of them will be
personally friendly to the presid ent.
Some of the Taft leaders say there will
be 6S such Taft delegates to 81 known
to favor Roosevelt.
Although the unofficial returns de-
clare that the counties and Baltimore
city by their preference vote have in
structed these delegates to choose
delegation to the national convention
bound to vote for Roosevelt, the Taft
leaders, according to their claims
could control the organization of the
state convention and the personnel of
the national delegates. The Roosevelt
leaders assert that they have no fear
such a complication would rob them
of the fruits of the victory they claim
on the preference vote.
The figures complete for the Repub-
lican vote and practically complete
for Dem ocrats, show that the prefer
ence vote of the state as a whole, was
as follows:
Republicans: Roosevelt, 1924;
Taft, 26,0O9; Roosevelt's majority,
BIS.
Democrats: Clark, 34,2s3; Wilson,
22,436; Harmon, 7,16S; Clark's pIur-
ality over Wilson, 11,S47.

Our victory, or failure said Mrs.

DR.. Shaw knows that not only the

Battle Between Strikers and
Police at MinersvilIe, Pa.
Trouble Started When Some
One Threw a Brick.

Pottsville, Pa, May SIN battle
| between the state police and a crowd
| estimated at between two and three
| thousand men at Minersville early to-
day, four men are known to have been
shot and three were probably fatally
wounded. 1t is believed a dozen or
more others also were struck by bull
lets. A woman, Mrs. George Vol,
who was standing on her porch, was
struck on the arm by a brick, and was
painfully injured.
The men who are thought to have
been fatally hurt are David Davis,
shot through the stomach, and two
unidentified foreigners. Another for
eigner was shot through the leg and
severely wounded.
The fight occurred on Fourth street
in the central part of town and came
when a crowd attempted to prevent
superintendent Geo. w. Keiser of the
Pine Hill Coal company from taking
two men in his automobile to the col
liery. Keiser had been coming to
Minersville the last several days and
taking Thomas Parry, repair man,
and VIM. Ward a pump man, to work.
Today when Keiser called at a garage
for his machine he was warned by
crowd not to take it out and was prac-
tically held a prisoner at the place
Chief Burgess Richard Levan, a
Civil war veteran, addressed the
crowd and demanded that they dis
perse, but no attention was paid. He
thereupon requested the state police
barracks at Pottsville to send a detail
to Minerville. Three men who make
daily patrols of that section arrived
and shortly after were reinforced by
four more from the Cottsville bar
racks. Under their guard the car was
taken from the garage and was being
cranked when some one in the crowd
threw a brick. 1t struck a policeman
on the head. This seemed to- be the
signal for an attack and imm ediate1y
there came a shower of stones fol-
lowed by several pistol shots.
The officers fired volley into the
ground. The crowd paid no attention.
The officers continued firing. The
shots were returned and a battle fol-
lowed in which it is estimated a hun
dred shots were fired. The firing re-
suited in the crowds dispensing, leav-
ing four persons lying on the ground.
Physicians pronounced David Davis's
wounds fatal.
A detachment of troops from the
state troopers stationed at Butler ar
rived here today and a detail of 2
men was sent to Minersville. These,
with seven members of Troop c, are
patrolling the town and report that
the lawless spirit is under control.

threatened to appeal to the conven-

MuIvane threatened to tie up the con-

The best of feeling prevails among
the delegates. Dolley and Mulvane
declared there was nothing but har-

meeting a strictly Roosevelt affair.
The topic everywhere under discus
