When Chairman Root declared
of president of the Unit
ed States in order, Warren G. Hard
ing of Ohio took the floor to re-nom-
mate President Wm. Howard Taft.
The first mention of Taft's name in
Harding's nominating speech was the
signal for a wild demonstration on
the floor and galleries, which contin-
ued for fifteen minutes. Later, when
Harding referred 10 Taft as the great
est progressive of his time, the DEM
Onstration threatened TO break out
anew.
A chorus of cheers that swelled
by an inCipient riot that broke out
in the aisles adjacent 70 the Florida
delegation seats.
Police rushed over and the dele
gates forgot their cheering and the
speaker while they turned to see the
scrap.
Stone ordered everybody to take
his seat, but there was rush To the
scene of the fight. The police could
not locate the main belligerents, but
il later developed that passing of the
lie between James Smith, a wealthy
ranCher of MissOula, Mont, and
Mathew Mcfarland, collector of Gus
toms at Tampa, Fla, had caused the
set-to.
The Roosevelt supporters "heck-
led" Harding throughout most of his
speech, kissing and booing his ora
tory, hurling taunting questions at
him during his pauses, meant to be
effective i'm parts of his perOration.
A delegate in the back OF the hall
footed vigorously on a steam roller
whistle when Harding made reference
TO Taft's strength. The demonstra-
tion was interrupted by booing and
kissing so bitter that Root came TO
the rescue of Harding.
Another demonstration followed
Harding's conclusion, hut Chairman
Root stilled IL at once. John Wana.
maker Of Philadelphia seconded the
nomination of Taft.

JUSTICE HOLDS CITY LAW RR-
PEALED BY LEGISLATURES.
rs NILES HOUR THE LIMIT
DIR. Loughridge, Arrested for Speed
ing, Defeats City In Test
Case.

Ordinance No. $40, for the regula-
tion of the speed of automobiles and
other vehicles In the city OF Grants
Pass, has been declared void by
Judge Johnston, OF the police court.
Recently complaint was made by
Chief Mclean against DR.. Loughridge
charging the doctor with violation
of the city law In driving his automo-
bile at too fast speed on the streets
within the corporate limits OF the
town, the specific instance being
when he was going .np South Sixth
streets some two weeks ago. The doc
tor, through his attorney, IL. d. Nor
ton, demurred to the complaint, call
ing into question the sufflciency OF
the complaint as to facts stated, and
also as to the Jurisdiction OF the
court.
Justice Johnston, in his opinion
| filed Thursday morning, calls atten-
tlon to the fact that In 1911 a state
law was passed regulating the oper-
alton of vehicles on the roads and
streets Of the state and prescribing
what cities may and may not do In
Bftfa'f Bftfeas' ana nd" other vehicles within f66sir
corporate limits This state law pro-
vides among other things that tho
rate OF speed on all streets, roads
and highways of this state shall be
reasonable speed, up to and not
exceeding twenty-five miles an hour"
The same act also provides that
all local laws on the subject in force
in the various municipalities of the
state at the time OF the enactment
lot the state law are repealed but
makes the further provision that the
cities may thereafter pass ordinances
limiting the speed of vehicles to one
mile In six minutes II they so desire,
the ordinance to contain provisions
demanded by the state law.
Ordinance No. $40 was enacted be-
fore the passage Of this state law,
and the Judge holds that II was re-
pealed by the action of the legisla-
ture, and no other adequate city law
was passed since, therefore the city
has only the state law to guide It,
and this does not limit the speed un-
der twenty-five miles an hour. For
these reasons the demurrer OF the de-
fense was sustained
An ordinance remedylng this de-
feet, and making a reasonable limit
OF speed on the streets OF Grants
Pass, will be presented a. the next
meeting Of the city council ~

UNITED STATES JUDGE BEAN
ISSUES NEW ORDER.
NO GROUND FRAUD CHARGE
Forty Eight Ohio Stockholders Join
in Petition and Support Man
agement.

An absolute victory was won by
the Almeda company before the Unit
ed States district court at Portland
Tuesday.
Last week Judge Bean appointed
Robt. Tucker temporary receiver for
the company, the action being taken
on application of Ohio stockholders.
In the hearing on the case Tuesday
the petitioners were unable to make
a showing that would warrant the ap-
pointment of permanent receiver,
and so Judge Bean dissolved the ac-
tion and placed the company officials
back in charge, thus fully vindicating
them in their management.
The friends of the big mining COM
pany rejoice at this outcome of the
suit unjustly brought by eastern
stockholders, as the placing of the al
fairs of the Almeda in the hands of a
receiver was not only unwarranted as
the evidence showed, but was a SER
ious handicap to the development of
great property.

SAYS BOLIVIAN GOLD
FIELDS ARE A FAKE

Word has been rece!red from Bo-
liyia," says California paper, that
the reported gold discoveries in that
country which lured hundreds of
coast mining men to South America,
are fakes, pure and simple, AS a re-
suit scores OF men are stranded while
others are returning, some having ar
rived in San Francisco on the City OF
Para.
1T develops that some one, as yet
unknown, forged the name OF John
Ferguson TO letters telling of great
strikes being made. In one letter
there was told the story OF Ferguson
and a companion extracting 2,2e0
ounces of gold by a simple hand pro-
cess at Fuata. Every effort was made
to ascertain the whereabouts OF Fer
guson by the Californians, and in
vestigation revealed the fact that he
had never written the letters and the
man who forged his name cannot be
found.
Morrison writes back that II is a
plain case of being stung.
Your miners returned to San
Francisco on the steamer City OF
Para and told how they had been
deceived
"All the men are from small
towns in the hills of Tuolumme coun-
ty and represent hundreds OF persons
who were persuaded to invest.
THE returned miners declared
that the whole proposition had been
given publicity by a group of Amer
leans who are possessed Of large
tracts of land in Bolivia which they
wish to exploit.
Except for few traces of gold
that could be proatably worked only
with the aid of expensive machinery,
nothing was found which would give

Forty-eight OF the stockholders of
the Almeda Mining company, living
at Dayton Ohio, Joined in a tele-
gram petitioning that the action for
the appointment of a receiver be dis
solved. A temporary recelvership
had been established by Judge Bean,
of the United States district court, on
petition of other Ohio stockholders,
but at the hearing held Tuesday the
order was dissolved, the Judge stat
ing that upon an examination Of the
records Of the company he was salts
fed that there was no need for the
continuing Of the temporary receiver
of the physical properties of the COM
pany.
In the order the judge said
"All the charges of fraud and mis-
management made in the bill are sat
isfactorily denied by the answer and
by numerous affidavits on behalf of
the defendant.
The appointment of the receiver
is an extraordinary procee ling. and
should be made only upon the clear
showing Of necessity therefor. The
plaintiffs have not made such a
showing in this case.
The order heretofore made ap-
pointing a temporary receiver will be
vacated so far as the physical prop
critics of the defendant and the man
agement Of its affairs are concerned.
The receiver will be continued,
however, in control of the books and
papers OF the defendant company so
far as It may be necessary to enable
the complainants to examine the same
and to take an accounting therefrom
II they so desire, on the condition
that they shall make satisfactory ar
rangement with the receiver or ac-
countant for the payment OF the ex-
penses therefor. The defendant and
it's officers and agents to have access
to said books and papers and the use
thereof at all reasonable times
