REPUBLICANS
NAME CHICAGO
National Convention to Meet Be-
fore Democratic Gathering.
JUNE I THE DATE SELECTED

Members Of National co~mltaes De-
eide to Give Republican Side 10 the
Country First, Without waiting to
See What the Democrats lnterd to
Do-Defense Of American Lives and
Commerce the sIogae.
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE RepublL
can national convention will be held
In Chicago June Z, week In advance
ef the big gathering Of the Democrats
At st. Louis.
The vote stood: Chicago, 81; Gan
Francisco. 13; st. Louis. Z: Philadel
phia, 2.
Advocates OF an early convention
argued that now was the time for the
Republican party to take the offensive
against its political enemies. without
regard to the ancient custom of al.
lowing the party in power to meet
first and announce its candidates and
principles. 1t was argued that the
party should not consider defensive
campaign. but should blaze the trail
and give its story to the country first,
without waiting to see what the Dem
Ocrats intended to do. Technical OBJ
lection raised to an early date by rep
resentatives of West Virginia and
South Dakota, where primaries to
elect convention delegates are held
June 8, was swept away by adoption
Of q resolution which will permit plac-
ing the names Of the candidates from
these states on the temporary roll OF
the convention. with the agreement
that certification by telegraph from
the proper state authorities after the
primaries will be valid authorization
for the seating.
Every one of the four cities had its
check ready and before the ballot was
taken Chairman Hilles held paper
worth 100000. All was returned ex-
ceTt the 100000 from Chicago.
No cognIzance Of Candidates.
The committee officially took no
Scognizance of candidates, although
the lobby Of the hotel where the meet
F.. ings were held was pretty we'll filled
with Republicans who have been men-
Stioned as presidential possibilities and
their supporters. About 600 of the
985 delegates to the convention are to
be chosen at primaries. and by the
time most OF these elections are held
the leaders expect to have n good line
Oh what the different states think OF
candidates.
The Republican fight, the gossip
went. will be waged on few plain
principles: defense OF American com
merce and industry and defense OF
American lives. One of the points of
attack will be that the Democratic
party In congress had not stood for
an adequate plan Of preparedness I'M
I'll events across the Atlantic forced
them to change their position.
One OF the last things done by the
committee was the election OF COM
nittee on arrangements. which will
select temporary chairman of the
convention and name some Of It's i'm
portant temporary committees. Chalr-
man Hilles is head Of the arrange
ments committee
The committee gave an hour during
the session to proponents and OBJ
ponents OF woman suffrage. Applause
greeted all the speakers.

Lost Many Men.

Berlin, May 5.-The Russians lost
- 500 prisoners to the Germans and
the Austrians in the. recent fighting
in western Galicia, according to an
official statement given out in Berlin
Tuesday.
This is the engagement in which
the Germans and the Austrians claim
a notable victory. In addition to the
men captured, the Teutonic allies took
sixteen pieces of artillery. fotry-
seven machine guns and a large
quantity of war material.
The statement sets forth that in
the German invasion of the Baltic
provinces of Russia the Germans have
captured more than four thousand re-
treating Russians.
Other engagements in Russian Po-
land are described as having resulted
favorably to the Germans.

the righteousness of his claim.
When the ordinance was placed to
vote, the following was the result:

declared by the mayor carried
Mrs. Fieldbinder, who has charge
of the local mission, came before
the board and asked that the action
of the former administration in pay
ing the rent on their hall be contin-
ued. The mayor and commissioners
stated they would take care of the
matter for her in future, and would
assist her in carrying out the work
in which she is engaged. The rent on
the hall amounts to but $40 per
month, and she has at present a class
each Sunday of over 60, who are not
reached by other church influences.
The ordinance relative to vehicles
standing on Main street was brought
up again last night and after a dis
cussion between some of the rep
resentatives of the hack lines and
the commissioners. The ordinance
was allowed to remain as passed at
recent meeting Several draymen
who are most vitally affected by this
ordinance were present, but took no
part in the proceedings. 1t is report
ed, however, that they have been in
conference with attorneys, and may
file an injunction against the city to
prevent it from enforcing the audi
ence.
The mayor stated that an ordinance
would be presented at the next meet
ing covering a graduated occupation
tax on all rooming houses, but the
ordinance was not ready at last
nights meeting.
The regular monthly bills against
the city were audited and allowed.

MAKE COUNTY
INTO STOCK
DISTRICTS
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TAKE
NO ACTION ON PRESENT PETI-
TIONS, BUT WILL ACT UNDER
DIRECTION OF co. ATTORNEY

A lengthy petition was filed with the
terday asking that certain sections in
the northwest part of the county be
relieved of the stock law for the pres
ent and allow the stock to run at large
as was the custom before the law went
into effect. Upon advice of the county
attorney, no action was taken in the
matter, and they will instruct the
county surveyor to lay off the county
into stock districts, then, upon petit
tion from a majority of the tax payers
of certain district, asking that the
law be suspended, the board of coun-
ty commissioners may grant the re-
quest
Some sections of the county do not
want the stock law suspended, while
others state that no damage will re-
suit and that it will benefit the stock
grower. However, all this will have
to be obtained through legal channels,
and the county commissioners are
now taking the first steps which will
make it possible. The board will fin
ish their work for the term today and
adjourn. They have some road mat
ters up for discussion this afternoon
relative to building highways in diff
ferent sections of the county to con-
form to the one recently built under
the direction of the state department
of highways leading east from the
city limits to the Chickasaw lake.

Fighting Confined to Ypres.

In Belgium thus far the fighting
has been confined to the Ypres re-
gion, where the Germans claim to
have captured some villages which
the British say they evacuated in re-
adjusting lines.
Rumors concerning the operations
against the Dardanelles were con.
firmed Tuesday night, when the Brit
ish war office and admiralty issued
reports stating that after beating off
Turkish attacks the allied forces had
taken the offensive on the Gallipoli
peninsula and now are advancing
into the interior. The Turks on their
side continue to report the defeat of
landing parties and damage done to
allied warships. which are keeping
up a lively bombardment of the
Turkish forts both in the Dardanelles
straits and at Smyrna. 1t was re-
ported Tuesday that the Vail of Smyr-
ma was negotiating with the allies for
the surrender of his territory. No
confirmation of this report has been
received.
The Germans say they have made
further progress with their raid into
the Baltic provinces of Russia and
that they have defeated the Russians
there, as well as along the east Prus-
sian frontier.
The result of the German submar.
inc warfare Tuesday was the sinking
of the steamer Minterne and two
trawlers.
