L, d. S. CONFERENCE

The general quarterly conference
convened in the Thatcher church on
Saturday and Sunday with two apos-
ties, one patriarch and one lady pre-
sent from Salt Lake City.
The Sunday School children of the
Stake were in attendance at the
Saturday meeting and furnished the
singing.
The visitors occupied the time at
the first session and gave valuable
instructions and religious encour-
agement. The afternoon session
was occupied by reports from the
various auxiliary organization presi-
dents.
On Sunday the attendance was
very much increased. The Thatch-
er choir were in their places and
rendered some choice hymns, an
thems and part songs. The Layton
ward furnished the ushers, who
managed the crowd with order and
skill.
The forenoon was devoted to re-
ports from the different wards and
talks from the visitors. Several of
the professors accompanying the Hor-
ticulture car from the experiment
station at Tucson also made brief
talks. In the afternoon brief talks
were made by the members of the
Stake Presidency and the remainder
of the time was used by the visitors.
Sunday evening meeting was
held under the auspices of the M.
|. A., Mrs. George A. Smith of Salt
Lake City made talk to the young
people.
THATCHER PARENTS AND TEACHER s
MEETING
The second Parents and Teacher s
meeting was held in the Gila Acad-
emy building last Thursday, Decem-
Der 18th.
The crowd came early, and before
assembling in the hall for the reg.
ular program. spent the time look
ing over the exhibits of manual
training, busy-work, ,penmanship and
drawing from the primary grades
1t showed that the teachers and dpupils
in that department are certainly not
idlers, but have been busy with in
teresting as well as instructive work.
The program opened with song
by the little folks under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Kimball and Miss Mort
ensen.
Flora Moody, "a fourth grade pupil,
then gave talk on Sanitation"
The question to be discussed was
The Compulsory School Law. "
Prof. Peterson very ably lead the
discussion and so well did he discuss
the subject that only a few remarks
were added to his talk.
We consider the meeting a good
one, but believe the meetings could
be made more helpful if the parents
would join more in the discussions.

patrons from each school were pres,

Wood gave us a splendid talk at the
close of the contest which was indeed
a treat to all. ~

BOSTON STRIKERS TRY
TO UPSET TROLLEY CAR
Riots in Several Parts of City
When Company Attempts
to Resume Service.

BOSTON, June s.-wfth the coming of
darkness tonight rioting in connection
with the strike Of the employees of the
Boston elevated railroad system, which
began yesterday, was resumed. Early in
the evening the company decided to aban-
don it's surface car service for the night
as q precautionary measure.
When the surface cars were removed
from the streets the rioters turned their
attention to the elevated trains In many
sections of the city. At the Oak street
incline, where elevated trains enter and
emerge from the subway, cars were
stoned and several passengers had mar
row escapes from serious injury. Similar
conditions existed at Eggleston square
and at Charlestown to a less extent.
Extra Trains Run.
To offset the Inconvenience caused by
the suspension of the street car service,
the steam railroads ran extra trains,
maintaining a special suburban service
throughout the night.
The first serious outbreak of the night
was reported in Cambridge, where a mob
of nearly a thousand men and boys held
,,p a trolley car, dragged the conductor
and motorman from 1t, and then en-
deavored to tip it over In the street. Po-
lice finally dispersed the crowd.

CLAIMS OF MANAGERS.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June g.
Representative W. B. Nc
Kinley, director of the nation
al Taft bureau, said tonight:
"The fight is over and
President Taft has won. The
national committee will seat
the Taft delegates in the con-
tests that have been brought
because the merits are with
US. That is shown by the
fact that in nearly every case
the Roosevelt members of
the committee have voted for
our delegates. There is not a
cloud on the horizon. We
will have at least sos dele
gates, as we claim. ! have
been in communication with
the President. and he is
greatly pleased with the
situation. He expects to be
nominated, and his expecta-
tions will be realized"
Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon,
manager of the Roosevelt
campaign, said:
1T is evident that the
national committee is de-
termined to seat all the Taft
delegates in the contests,
without regard to the merit
of the claims. But this ef-
fort to murder the party and
to steal the nomination will
not be successful. | say
without the slightest hesita-
ton that even if the nation
al committee seats every Taft
delegate, still Taft will not
have enough to nominate"

Col. Roosevelt's statement was given
out after a conference which lasted all
the afternoon. He was in constant touch
over his private wires during the day
with Senator Dixon and his other lieu
tenants in Chicago. He also consulted
with q number OF his supporters who
visited him.
The colonel talked politics today with
men from number of states. Among
them were Arthur Hill Of Boston, Gov.
Bass of New Hampshire. Charles H.

Roosevelt's Appeal.
Col Roosevelts statement was as fol-
lows.
'In view Of the action taken by the ma
tional committee yesterday in unseating
the two duly elected delegates in the
ninth Alabama district, and replacing
them by men who have no more title. to
sit in the republican convention than
they have to sit in the democratic con-
vention. l would like to make as serious
an appeal as Is in my power to every
good citizen who regards the republican
party as an instrument for good govern
ment which 1t Is wicked lightly to de-
stroy.
Alabama is entitled to twenty-four del
egates in the convention. AS regards sew
eral of the distr. cts where there have
been contests 1t is my sincere belief that
the right was as much on our side as on
the side Of our opponents. But In these
districts there was room for honest doubt,
and, talking the matter over with Sena-
tor Dixon, We both agreed to advise the
Roosevelt members of the national COM
mittee to support no contest In any dis
trict where there was room for reasona-
BILE doubt as to the right of the Roose-
welt delegates to be seated
Accordingly. in all the Alabama dis
tricts in question the Roosevelt men in
the national committee voted with the
majority. and this in spite Of the fact that.
as 1 have already said. we regard the
claims of the Roosevelt men in certain
of these districts as being as good as
those Of their opponents.
Claims Two Delegates.
But in the ninth Alabama district two
Roosevelt delegates had been unquestion-
ably elected. The facts are as follows:

To Take Up Important Cases.

This clears the docket for the taking up
early next week of the cases upon which
the Roosevelt people are laying far more
stress than upon those from the south:
such cases, for example, as those from
Indiana which probably will be taken up
when the committee convenes Monday
morning. There still remain, in alpha
betical order. the cases of the six dele
gates at large from Arizona, and of the
fourth congressional district OF Cali
fornia. They may be taken up Monday.
or may go over until later in the week.
II was day OF publicity for southern
republican organizations. Starting with
the last three districts OF Kansas the
committe went through that state and
Florida and Georgia, in which all the
Taft delegates had been contested by
Roosevelt. In each instance decision was
IN the case, and in only one instance did
the Roosevelt leaders ask for full test
OF strength.
In the fifth Arkansas district. where
charges OF violence and fraud were made
by both sides, Committeeman Burnam of
Kentucky asked that both delegations be
seated with half vote each He Sc
cured ten votes for his motion; those Of

Grass Probably Destroyed.

Since the change of climate in Alaska
cattle, sheep and hogs have been able
to feed outdoors on kediak Island
throughout the year. The volcanic ashes,
IL they fell on the island. eighteen inches
deep. as they did on the decks of the
steamship Dora. must have destroyed the
grass, which, however, will grow again
on the ashes.
Mount Ilimna is more than 1o,0OO feet
nigh, and the red sky above its blazing
crater is visible seaward for 100 miles
distant.
The efforts of the mountains to clear
the debris from their clogged craters
caused by convulsions were recorded in
Washington, D. c., and in Seattle. After
the chimneys were opened the needles in
the observatories were no longer agitated.
Reports Like Cannon.
The struggles Of the volcanoes to break
their fetters caused reports like the fir
ing Of cannon. In Cordova. Alaska, the
reports were so distinct that 1t was
thought vessel IN distress was firing
signals or that a fleet of warships was
engaged in target practice at sea.
Speculation as to the cause of the deto-
nations was set at rest when a shower
of volcanic ashes from the northward be-
gan to descend upon Cordova. The ex-
plosiOnS were heard even more clearly in
Seward. which is near the volcanoes.

come to life. and are throwing out
great quantities of smoke and hot
ashes. The awakened peaks are Ilimna

Dispatches from the north say that
the volcanoes are emitting lava and
rocks, but the discharge from the Alas
ka craters usually is only ash and
smoke. and it is hoped there will be
no loss of life. Apparently Kodiak
and it's neighboring islands have been
covered by ashes.

1T would cost about $500 or $500
to install on one of the Inter-Island
steamers and would pay for itself in
a very short time. The boats have a
bad time along the Hamakua coast

steady it would facilitate matters all
