Grand Sheriff Leads.

According to this dispatch the grand
sheriff of Mecca, the chief magistrate of
the holy city. proclaimed his independ-
ence and was supported by the Arab
tribes of the west and central parts of
the country. He began operations
about June and won signal success.
It Is said the garrisons of Mecca, Jid-
dab and Taft surrendered, with the ex-
ception of two small forts at Taft,
which are still resisting.
At Jiddah forty-five officers, 400 men
and six guns were captured. Medina,
24S miles northwest of Mecca. which
contains the tomb Of Mohammed, is
closely besieged, and all communica-
lions to Hejas are in the hands of the
grand sheriff.

Under Army Regulations.

AS this is the first time that the
National Guard has gone into service
in a regular army camp. and into a
temperament camp, conditions were
altogether different from their usual
summer training camps. There the adj
ministration ts directly under the
guard officers. and in way regula-
tions are made to suit conditions and
has been laid out according to regular
army regulations. Permanent water
supplies had to be provided, and sani-
tary arrangements made for a prospec-
tive long stay.
1t was a new experience for practi-
cally all OF the men. and officers, but
they rose to the occasion, and despite
the rain and untried conditions they
soon had the camp in working condi-
ton.
One Of the earliest and most trouble
some misadventures was that in reach
ing the camp SO late in the day. The
men were hungry and mess arrange
ments could not be made as speedily as
per was necessarily a little late, but
men of extensive army experience com
plimented Maj. John c. Whitaker, chief
of the commfssary department, upon
the excellent meal which he had pro-
vided in remarkably short time. II
was pointed out that in the regular
service while on march arrangements
are so that the troops will enter camp
about l o'clock, thus leaving plenty OF
time for setting up the kitchens and
preparing the meal.
Whatever was lacking in variety and
delicacy in the first meal in the camp
was made UP by the keen appetite and
zest brought to 1t by the soldiers.
incidentally Mai. Whitaker's friends
had considerable fun Kidding" him
last night and assuring him that 1t Is
a fortunate thing for his peace Of mind
that he ID not at all superstitious. He
got the first personal bill that came to
the camp and 1t was for accident In
surance.
Hardly had the rain reduced from a
steady downpour to gentle drixzle
than the camp was invaded-and by
scores of good-looking young women
More than fifty automobiles drove past
the camp and many OF them deposited
fond relatives and friends OF the
Kuardsmen. but the real heavy assault

Years Among White People in

At Hoquiam, Wash5 Schickulash
Pete, believed to be the Oldest man in
the Northwest and the last of the
Grays Harbor Indian slaves, has just
died at the age OF one hundred and ten
years.
Another of the slaves, John Kettle
died recently at the age of one hun
dred and five, and with the passing of
Pete they have all now gone to the
happy hunting grounds, the New York
Sun states.
The old Indian, better known as
Humptulips Pete from the fact that
for more than thirty years he had
lived in the Humptulips valley, was
resident of Grays Harbor for rs years.
or since 1910, when he came with a
war party of Indians from the Colum
bia river to attack the harbor Indians.
Ths invaders, a large band, came
into the harbor in canoes and landed
at James Rock, about six miles west
Of Hoquiam There they camped for
the night. pulling their canoes high
ap on the beach to be out of reach OF
the tide.
During the night the Indians of the
harbor attacked the invaders and the
last big Indian battle of the Grays
Harbor district was fought there.
Most OF the invaders were either
killed or captured. only few escap-

CONTESTSTO
BE HEARD
ON JUNE |
Republican National Committee 0rdrs
Rival Delegations to Appear; Iaf's
Call on Hughes Starts Political
Tongues to Wagging
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
Chicago, May 1s.-It was announc-
ed today that the Republican national
committee had ordered all contesting
delegations to the national convention
to appear on June ! for the settlement
of contests, including two Oklahoma
districts. 1t is planned to get the
hearings started speedily with a view
to confining the work of the conven-
tion to three days.
The Chicago Tribune says that Re
publican politicians in Washington
were thrown into a state of rare ex-
citement today by an exceedingly cir
cumstantial report that Associate JUS
tice Hughes of the supreme court has
admitted his willingness to become
the Republican candidate for presi-
dent. t
The jurist, according to the story,
made known his position on the ques-
tion to former President Taft, who
arrived in Washington and testified
in the Riggs bank trial. 1t is said
that Mr.. Taft called on Mr. Hughes
at the latter's residence and talked
for more than an hour with the man
whom he appointed to the supreme
court in 1910.
When this report gained general
circulation at the capitol this after
noon there ensued a stampede of Re
publican leaders to get into confiden
tial communication with Mr.. Taft on
the matter. They found that the for
mer president had left for New Haven
at noon.
When Mr.. Taft arrives at New Ha
ven he will find a stack of telegrams
from various and sundry national
statesmen imploring him to vouch
safe them some information, cabalistiC
or otherwise, on the burning question
Of what Justice Hughes is going to dc
or not going to do.
Although unable to verify Their
hopes or fears as to Mr.. Hughes in
tentions by personal communication
with Mr. Taft, the Republican politi
clans heard with unusual interest thai
the former president, as he stepped
aboard his train for New Haven, au
thorized the statement that he is fol
the associate justice for the nomina
tion and will do all in his power tc
make him the candidate of the party
This circumstance was generally
regarded as adding plausibility to the
report that Mr.. Taft had conferred
with Mr.. Hughes and obtained the
jurist's views of the movement to
name him for the presidency.
