MISS MINNIE BRONSON OF NEW

AFTERNOON AT RESIDENCE OF
JUDGE N. c. YOUNG AGAINST.
SUFFRAGE.

Miss Minnie Bronson Of New York
spoke at the home of Mrs. N. G..
Young this afternoon ar g woman's
meeting against the suffrage move
ment in North Dakota.
"One evil has evidently resulted
from suffrage" said she, "in
the states where suffrage exists, and
that is the great increase in what Is
called the stay-at-home vote.
From two sources spring nearly all
the political ills that afflict our coun-
try. Get rid Of them M more would
be accomplished than by all the con-
stitutionaI amendments or new de-
vices that v entered the mind Of
man. The first is the stay-at-home
vote and the second Is the unenforced
law. No one denies that the first Of
these is greatly increased by an cleo
torate Of women.

California, according to advices from
Secretary Of state Jordan, to whom

MERCHANTS WILL
HOLD MEETING
MERCHANTS AUXILIARY WILL
HOLD MEETING THURSDAY
AFTERNOON TO DECIDE ABOUT
MERCHANTS PAVILION AND
STATE FAIR MATTERS.

The Merchants auxiliary Of the
North Dakota State Fair association
will hold a meeting Thursday after
noon at the Fargo Commercial club
at Ais o'clock to consider the mat
ter Of transferring the merchants pa
vilion to the fair association in ex-
change for stock. .
When the Merchants auxiliary was
formed several years 6 it was with
the understanding that should there
be any dissatisfaction among the
stockholders or the pavilion prove I'M
successful at the conclusion of five
years, that it could be turned over to
the fair association in exchange for
stock to the merchants.
This proposition has met with wide
spread favor among the merchants,
who seem inclined to make the x
change at this time so that the pa
vilion may be used for a dairy ex-
hibit this year as has already been
proposed by members Of the ~associa-

DEMOCRATS ARE
GATHERED HERE
DEMOCRATIC CLANS FROM OVER
THE STATE ARE GATHERED
HERE TODAY TO DISCUSS pos
sIRILITlEs FOR VACANCIES ON
THE STATE TICKET THIS FALL.

Khe democratic clans of North Da-
kota. have moved on Fargo today.
They entered the city early this
| morning and great numbers Of them
were conspicuous in the hotel lob
bies.
A preliminary meeting, at which it
as reported that nothing was DONE"
was held this morning at the Gardner
hotel, and adjournment was taken till
2 o'clock at Assembly halls where an
other meeting where nothing was
done was held.
However. before the afternoon is
over it presumed that the democratic
chieftans will do something and
from remarks heard from several this
morning that Something" would seem
to be in the nature of sharpening the
axe, for despite everything thathasbeen
said in political advertisements lately,
complete harmony does not reign and
all is not serene on the democratic
horizon.
Among those here today are such
| democratic leaders as Col. Joseph M.
Kelly of Devils Lake, Col. J.. H. Bloom
Of Devils Lake n editor of The
Devils Lake Journal. Sen. George Z.
Duis of Grand Forks, United States
| Marshal Doyle, FORMER warden FRANK
O. Hellstrom and democratic nominee
for governor in 1912. Mr.. Sullivan Of
Mandan who ran for attorney general
two years ago, Maj. Halvo HalVorson
Of Minot, State Sec. Fred w. Nc
Lean.
Strangely conspicuous for his alb
sence in this group mingling about in
friendly chat among the leaders in the
hotel Hobbies, although he is a resi-
dent Of Fargo. was the state chair
man.
1t is the general opinion Of those
on the outside hat he troubles with
in the state democratic organization
have not been magnif1ed in the news
papers during the last winter.
Right openly it has been whispered
in the crowd that is here today that
| this is not a Macarthur crowd that Is
| meeting. Probably no one would
| mention it out in the paper, though a
! few have even gone so far as to ex-
press themselves in that respect.

CONTROL OF AUTO
Young Lady Climbed Curb With New
Machine Yesterday, and Bumped
Thos. Bakers House.

A young lady of the city tried to
push Thos Bakers residence off the
back Of the lot on Broadway yester-
day, with a new Paige automobile, but
the house stood it's ground, and the
machine came out somewhat the same
as Don QuiXote did when he attempt
ed a jouse with that l~ong-geared
windmill of the long ago..
The Paige has always had a good
reputation as a hill climber, and it
sustained this reputation in the Incl
DENT Of yesterday. 1t appears that the
Young lady attempted to turn the ma
chine in the street, and then lost con-
troll of it, at the same time turning on
more power. The auto climbed the
curb, and liked up on the lawn for q
ways before it bumped something that
had staying qualities enough to hold
1t. No one was injured.

Feds Wipe Out
 a Villa Garrison
4s EITHER KILLED IN BATTLE OR
 EXECUTED.
AT A BORDER TOWN
Constitutionalists Met Attack with Steady Fire, but Were overpowered by Vastly Superior Force.

Ell Paso, July 15.@The forty gh. members of the constitutionalist gar rison at Palomas were either killed in battle or executed by federal filibust- CTS who attacked the border town carry today. No man escaped to the Amer1- can side. This was reported here to Mexican federal officials and by United States army and United States customs agents at Columbus, N. NJ, seven miles from the scene of she fighting.
 shortly after daybreak, 45o men swooped on the little garrison of Villa troops The constitutionalists respond ed with a steady fire. but were over powered by overwhelming odds. it was reported to Arturo Elias, Huertz consul here. that nineteen of the Villa garrison were executed. The filibust- CTS captured the entire armament and supplies of the post.
 The attack on the border town was taken here as an indication of renewed activity of the federal irregular troops in Chihuahua state, which heretofore have confined their activities to the interior. There were many rumors here about f1libustering expeditions to be set on foot in anticipation of a counter-revolution after the fall of the Huerta central government,
 The troops which took Palomas were Commanded by General RoQue Gomez one of the revoIutionists who fought with General PascuaI- Orozco in the revolution against Francisco Madero.

NEW TESTIMONY
 FOR BALLou INQUEST.
A Carpenter Who is Expected to Sup port Contention of Mrs. Angle That Bailou Fell Down Stairs.

Stamford, Conn, July 15.-Unexpect- edly to the local authorities and to the state attorney, Coroner John J. Phelan of Bridgeport came to this city today in connection with the investigation oi the death of Waldo R. Ballou. His visit was at the request of Judge H. Stanley Finch of counsel for Mrs. Helen M. Angle, who is held without bail pending the outcome of the in quiry and with Judge Finch the cor oner made an examination of Mrs. An gles' apartments, where Ballou visited the night of his death, and of other rooms. in that building. Judge Finch, it was learned, had asked the coroner to make the examination in order that ne might be in a better position to understand the evidence which it IS expected will be given by Patrick Rabbit, carpenter who lives in the building where Mrs. Angles rooms are, when the inquest is resumed next Mon day.
 At the beginning of the inquiry Rab- bitt, questioned by the police, stated he had heard a noise on the night of Ballou's death-as if a bed had broken down. He did not investigate. Judge Finch, it is learned has secured an affidavit from Rabbit which goes into a lengthy description of the sound he heard that night. Rabbits story, it IS expected, will be the only evidence which the defense will submit to the coroner next Monday and will be of fered to support theirAcontention that Ballou came to his death by a fall down stairs.
 Judge Finch was asked If Mrs Angle would testify He said:
 That matter is entirely in the hands of Judge N. C. Downs. My ad- vice would be not to permit her to take the stand"
 Judge Downs is out Of town.
 The police do not attach great im- portance to the new evidence. They i hold that the marks on Ballou's hat and on his forehead were made by a , blow and could not have resulted from a fall down stairs.
 While the coroner would not express | an opinion as to the value of the new evidence, he said he would have a physical test made. This would con- s1st Of movement on the stairway such as the defense claims would produce q noise similar to that made by a per- son falling, and the coroner will de- | termine at what points in the buildins l the noise could be heard. This test it is expected, will be made during the | present week

Stone, grand chief of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, and w. s.

SHAMROCK IS READY
 FOR OCEAN VOYAGE.
Will Sail July 1s-To Be Conveyed by
 Steam Yacht Erin.

Gosport, England July 15.-Every- thing is ready for the departure on July IS for the United States of Shamrock ", Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger for the American cup. Her compasses have been adjusted, her ketch rig fitted and the steam yacht Erin, also belonging to Sir Thomas, is waiting to convoy her across the At lantic.
 shamrock " has done all that has been asked of her" is. the final word of Charles E. Nicholson. the designer. He admits however. that the trial boat was in no way satisfactory, as the type of opponent which would enable yachtsmen to accurately gauge Sham rock IV'' chances of lifting the Amer ica's cup.
 Underwriters at Lloyds are not so optimistic as MT. Nicholson, roughly, 3 to 1 against the challenger. In other words they are issuing policies at a premium of 35 per cent. to pay the total loss, if Shamrock " should prove successful. A similar risk in connection with the aeroplane flight across the Atlantic during the pres ent year Is being covered at per cent. The crew of the Shamrock ", numbering more than thirty men. is to be divided during the voyage across, half of the sailors luxuriating on board the Erin as far as the Azores and then relieving their ship mates for the remainder of the journey.

Wakefield also was con victed of first degree murder. was to have been executed on the same day as Plew, but she appealed to the su- preme court and was granted a new trial,
 Joseph L. Wheeler of Cheshire told of incidents connected with the ffndfne or the body and William M. Shepard son of Middlebury, a former erlploye of Wakefield. testified that so far as he had observed Wakefield was of a peaceful disposition
 The latter witness was apparently troubled with loss of memory for fre- quently to questions Of the states at- torney he replied: 'I don't remember
 The states attorney attempted te refresh the memory of the witness by reading from notes of the previous trial but counsel for the accused ot. jected, and the court declined to per. 1 init the states attorney to put the questions.

I, come what may, seek my personal interest and not that of the republic. And as I need to rebut this allegation with facts, I tender my formal resiS- lie.
 Labored in Good Faith.
 The national congress must know that the republic through it's govern ment has labored in entire good faith and with the fullest energy, having succeeded in doing away with the par ty which in the United States calls itself democratic, and having shown how the right should be defended.
 Dealt Death Blows to Unjust Power.
 ITO be more explicit, I will say that the action of the government of the republic during it's short life has dealt death blows to an unjust power. Later on stronger workers will come, using implements that undoubtedly vii end that power, which has done so much harm and committed so many outrageS on this continent.
 Tn conclusion, I will say that abandon the presidency of the repub- lie, carrying with me the highest sum of human wealth. for l declare that I conscience the honor of Puritan, whom I, as a. gentleman, challenge to WreSt from me that possession.

NEW HAVEN STOCK
 SOLD AT 4s 3-4 "sAxSeaesss .zeZzsE1zS<A zS<Akas.--s--.-s---y Offerings Came in 100 and 200 Share
 Lots.

New York, July f5.-Urgent selling of New Haven shares, which declined to a new low record on the stock ex- change at 4s 3-4 at midday, was at tended by a considerable unsettlement elsewhere in the stock market. Of- ferings of New Haven came mostly in 100 and 200 share lots. suggesting that the liquidation came mainly from small investors who had become disheart- ened as a result of the report of the Interstate Commerce Commission con- corning the former management of the property.
 Commission houses with New Eng land connections, where New Haven shares were for years rated as a sound investment. were among. the principal sellers today, but the movement. ac- cording to Tufnor. was materially as- sisted by bear selling from Boston.
