NORTH DAKOTA IN DOUBT
New Party Will Have a Following,
but Effect Is Uncertain.

Grand Forks, n. D., June 24.-Promi-
nent politicians of North Dakota are
divided on the probable effect of the
Roosevelt ovement on conditions in
this state, although the fact that
Judge Lauder of the North Dakota
delegation participated in the Roose-
welt convention indicates there will be
a following for the new party.
Taft appears to be thoroughly dis
credited in North Dakota and it is
presumed that nomination will not
gain for him the support of the party
1t is, of course, to early yet to tell
just what may happen. The bitter
factional strife in the state; the an
tagonism to Taft, coupled with the
action Of at Least one of the states
delegates to the convention in joining
the Roosevelt movement, cannot but
mean some impetus for the new party.

OGDEN DEPLORES
TERMS OF DRESS
SHALLOWNESS OF MANY WO
MEN Is APPALLING SAYS
MINISTER.

ATLANTA,Ga., Mch. Ain strik
ing sermon on the subject of woman's
right, DR.. Dunbar H. Ogden, pastor
CT the Central Presbyterian church
and formerly Of Knoxville, declared
that woman has rights and responsi
bilities in comparison with which hel
property, professional and political
rights are unimportant and triyiaL =,
After reviewing briefly the Advance
that has been made by woman since
the ancient civilization of the Orient
which accorded her no higher place
than that of slave and plaything to
man, DR.. ogden said:
'7ElIee burden of the thought l wish
to conveyy@so the woman of today is
tnat her highest and noblest rights
are net these special rights of prop
srty, politics or profession, but the
rights and responsibility of protecting
the currents Of life SO as to glority
God and uplift her fellowman The
women of today should consult their
hearts to find if they are fulfilling
this responsibility.
Compared t. her force toward the
making Of character all other rights
are as nothing am very much
AFRAID the modern woman is neglect
ing this higher force, Standing in the
midst Or tIe streams OF life today We
see degradation for which the women
are directly responsible. When a man,
not thinking evil, is offended By the
indecoacy Of voman's dress in public,
then the women are laying down taeir
highest right. There is a shaliowness
in the women Of our generation that
is appalling.
How Insignificant are all other
rights when compared to woman's
right of building and protecting the
home. Yet I fear that our life is
being most fearfully injured because
so many women, standing as Gods
high priestesses for the protection of
the home. are proving untrue to that
trust.
Since Christ the cross has been
surrounded by women, and God pity
US II woman has all else, but not that
complete conservation which finds
her ninistering at the altar Of Chris
tianity."

BRAKEMAN KILLED
BY A FREIGHT TRAIN
At GOODWIN CHAPEL
NAME OF THE UNFORTUNATE
MAN COULD NOT BE
LEARNED.
BODY CUT ENTIRELY in TWO
supposed to Have Been Knocked
From Cars by Santa Fe Bridge.
Body Gathered Up by Crew and
Carried on North.

A brakeman on northbound
freight train met his death on the
siding at Goodwin Sunday night about
70 o'clock
The train took the siding there and
the brakeman, who was a new man
an the road. came out and opened
the switch for the entry, but when
the signal was made to open up to
get onto the main track again ne
failed to appear and an investigation
followed.
The remain were round on the
track between the cars, his body cut
almost completely in two pieces and
bits of his overalls scattered along
the track
The remains were gathered up AND
taken on the same train toward Nash
vile.
Nothing is known of how the acct
dent occurred, Blu it is supposed that
the brakeman, who was new man
was unaware of the Santa Fe bridge
over the track, and that when he re
turned to the cars after opening the
switch to go in on the siding, he was
knocked from the top of the cars as
they passed under the bridge.
All this information was brought
here by citizens of Goodwin, and dill
gent inquiry could develop nothing
as to the names of the train crew
the name of the unfortunate man
whero he lived, nor anything further
than what was told by the Goodwin
parties.

hughes, charged with the murder OF
former Jockey Tommie Dolan, was
today found guilty of murder in the
first degree with mitigating circum'

Court presided over by Judge jesse

AS soon as the jury reported and

warned the twelve men to remain
silent on everything that happened
during their deliberations. Despite
this warning, however, certain rum
ors are said to have leaked out that
soon after the jury had taken the
case under consideration ten of the
Jurors stood for first degree YER

After arguing the case from Satur-

Surrounded by his attorneys and by

if ne had been stunned. He did not
move as the verdict was read. Meth.
er did he make any sign when, on
motion Of former Gov. Patterson, the
jury was polled by the clerk and each
man declared the verdict as read was
correct. Back to Attorney General

father of Hughes victim, broke the
silence that followed the reading Of

He was silenced by Gen. Estes.
Then Gov Patterson made formal

PLACING SUGAR
ON FREE LIST
DEMOCRATIC HOUSE CAUCUS
ALSO DECIDES ON INCOME
TAX BILL.

WASHINGTON, D. G., Mar. "A
bin 10 put sugar on the free list elm
mating $53,000,OOO in annual customs
revenue, and another to extend the
present corporation tax to include In
ldiyiduals and co-partnerships doing
business of $4,000 a year, or over

cratic caucus of the house.
The excise tax, so-called by the
ways and means committee, is in er
feet an income tax. The bill lie sc
drawn that it is expected to comply
With the supreme courts decision
against the corstitutionality of an in
come tax. Its effect would be to taz
every person who earns more than
$4,000 a year, or in excess of $4,000 al
the rate Of one per cent.
The estimate of Chairman Under
wood and members of the ways and

ed excise tax would bring in a rcve.

100000 year.
Placing sugar on the free list, the
democratic leaders estimate, will re-
duce the price of sugar to the con-
sumner about a cent and a half ca
pound
The secret that members of the
ways and means committee had been
so closely guarding for several days
was the provision to extend the cor
poration tax. In the caucus that bill
was not seriously opposed.
The free sugar bill, however, was
bitterly assailed by representatives
from Louisiana, the cane sugar state,
and representatives from sugar beet
growing states who were absolved
from the bond of the caucus. No roll
call OF the ratification of the bills
was demanded.
Majority leader Underwood an
ncunced that the bills would be re-
korted to the house within few
lays.
I'VE simply took the corporation
tax law and re-wrote it to include in

Mr.. Underwood last night. "The bill

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Mch. Hop.
ing to reach friendly settlement of
the differences between regular and
INDEPENDENT democrats, both COM
,nittees have been called to meet at
the Maxwell HouseIsaturday, March 9
when conference committees will be
appointed from each body to meet in
juint session.
The decision was reached before
noon Thursday, when the independent
committee quit parleying and passed
a resolution, asking the regular GEM
ocrats of the state to join them in a
joint conference to discuss plans of
harmony.
! This resolution was carried to Maj,
Vertrees, chairman of the democratic
committee, for his approval or dtsap-
prova! In replying Chairman Yer
trees said he had no power to appoint
a conference committee, but that he
would go even further and call the
committee to meet in the city at an
early date.
March 8 was set because it was in
the opinion of the chairman, as early
as he could get all the members to-
eether. Accordingly Chairman Bar
ton called his committee to meet the
same day at the same place. There
u pom the independent committee ad-
1ournced.
While the chances for harmony
looked rather rocky Wednesday
night, the action of both committees
Thursday points to an early settle
ment, many believe Independents
such as Col B. A. Enloe and . X.
Holiday, advocated harmony In
speeches before the committee. SEN
ator Holiday says he hopes the diff
fcrences will be cleared away and
that the factions of the party will
get together.
