Committee Fails to Name Presiding Officer for the Republican
 Convention
THIS ACTION HAS
 CAUSED SURPRISE
Third Termer's Friends Allege the Move Is Favorable to Their
 Candidate
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHI

CHICAGO May 17-Membcrs of the subcommittee on arrangements for the republican national conven- tion adjourned here tonight without naming a temporary chairman for the convention. After adjournment Sec retary Hayward announced that the committee had decided to leave the selection of the temporary chairman to Harry $. New, chairman of the ub-cOmmittee.
 NIT. New declared he will not name the temporary chairman within the next twenty hours. and said the selection might not take place for several days. He denied the re- ports that the action of the commit tee was caused by the refusal of United States Senator EIihu Root of New York. to accept the place. The temporary chairmanship has not been offered to any one. and therefore it has not been declined by anyone" said New.
 The postpOnement of the selcc- tion of the temporary chairman of the national convention came as q surprise. as earlier in the day the members of the committee let it be known they expected to name the temporary chairman before the subcommittee adjourned. A number of possible reasons for the delay in the chairmanship matter was ad- vanced by interested politicians. Roosevelt leaders declared the post ponement indicated they had won their contention that the temporary chairman should not be selected un- til the result of the presidential preference primary in ohio on Tues day became known. The question of the basis for the apportionment of seats in the convention was left un- settled. The demand for seats in the convention exceeds that of any pre- vious national republican convention.

Officers of Los Angeles Believe They Have Identified Slayer
 and Victim
CASE HAS BEEN
 PECULIAR ONE
Supposed Slayer Is Thought to Have Killed Him self Because of
 His Crime
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

CHICAGO May lS-The killing of C. C Dillon by a train near Will mette, suburb, today. partly solved the Los Angeles murder mystery After piecing together various cleWs the police tonight said they are con vinced the dead man was the mys- terious Dillon. who has been sought by the Los Angeles police as the murderer of the woman. and that the woman is Mrs. Bessie Jones
 Several former acquaintances of Mrs Jones today identified q picture of the slain woman as that of Mrs Jones Until six weeks ago Dillon and Mrs Jones lived at 4621 Evans ton avenue. Chicago. He left and d few days later she disappeared. Post cards mailed from Norfolk Va, were received by acQuaintances of Mrs Jones Nothing was heard from her since. Shortly afterward Dnlons wife and relatives here received post cards and letters from him mailed from Denver and Los Angeles Friends testified today that Dillon returned from Los Angeles last Sun day X description of Dillon. for whom California authorities have been searching. is almost identical with that of the dead man. The railroad tracks at the point where the man was killed are elevated, and this led the police to believe the man voluntarily ended his life. Mrs. Dii- lon said her husband left home Fri day night about o'clock and did not return He is thought to have been killed about this morning. A po- 1iceman who noticed the similarity between the description of the alleged murderer and Dillon, was responsible for the attempt to link his name with the alleged crime Relatives of Dil- lon told of his being in California recently before they knew he was suspected of slaying the woman. one important link in the chain of evi- dence. pointing to the identification of the dead woman, is lacking. Mrs. Jones was not Catholic while the murdered woman wore q badge of the Sodality Dillon, however. was a Catholic. and the police believe he may have insisted the woman wear the insignia of his church.

Legislators Say All Sorts of Pretty Things to Each Other as They Seize Their Grips and Start for Home
WILL SOON BE
 WITH US AGAIN
There Is to Be Short Breathing Space and Then, Along About Next Thursday the w h els Will Turn Again

By their deeds ye shall know them The self written record of the first legislature of the stat of Arizona was closed at GAS last evening and wheth- CT it was a thistle patch. a fig orch ard. or d little of both, is now up to the people of the new state to dis cover. X special session of the legis- lature will he convened next Thurs day by a call of Governor Hunt, to be issued as soon as he can deter mine just what he wants the legis Iaturc to do. The call will probably issue on Monday as the governor will have taken an inventory of the situ ation by that time and have a better understanding of what has been done. All that he would admit yesterday was that there would be q special session and it was common gossip among the members that it would as semble on Thursday. 4 few of them left last night for day or two at home before plunging into work again, but most of the members will stick around" as hotel expenses are cheap CT than railroad fare.
 The usual scenes attended the clos ing of the session The jealousy be- tween the two houses seemed to van ish in the last hour and the acri- mOniOus attitude of the factions in each house was dissipated as the bills that caused it passed or fell to the scrap heap one by one. C. B. Wood, in the name of all the senators. passed over d gold ticker to his arch enemy. the president. and the chap lain. in the name of the attaches, slipped him d pipe to be proud of. over in the house everybody swapped felicitations and finally when the two houses assembled for the last cere- monies. sentiment and sadness com mingled with humOr and merry jest.
 The governor vetoed but one bill, the siX-mile-limit measure. which was the first one to reach him and which bill signalized the advent of whatever trouble was enjoyed" during the ses- sion. The most important work cut out for the lawmakers it is believed has been accomplished by the two days overtime though there is d lot more the statesmen had hoped to get through. The corporation code bill was passed after an eventful career and next to the appropriation bill was probably the most Important.
 It is believed most of the mandates of the constitution were carried out in one way or another. C. B. Wood by his dilatory tactics prevented the pas sage of the amendment to the con stitution by which the state was nev- CT to sell d foot of school land under any condition.
 The appropriation bill totals $512,- 9l5.76. snug sum of money which means a whole lot to raise by taxa ton. However, under the new laws the valuations will be higher and it is expected also that a lot of property will get on the list that has hitherto escaped. The items in the bill, which is expected to cover the states eX- penses until June 90, 1919, are as fol- lows.
