three men. 1t is not known WneJnel
the other two have been captured.
Late in August, Sheriff Shafer re-
ceived advices telling of the circum-
stances of the Missouri killing and
making inquiry as to Bailey Stone
suggestion being that he might ap-
pear in this section. The sheriff i'm
mediately gave attention to the mat
ter, and about 80 days after getting
the advices from Asotin he learned
Stone had come to this section. The
sheriff was a day behind Stone at
Asotin where the fugitive had spent
a night in Jail there for fighting.
Then the man spent a night at the
Raymond hotel in Lewiston, disap-
pearing the next morning. 1t seems
he then went to the Palouse section
and shortly thereafter disappeared
from this part of the country. How
ever, Sheriff Shafer still worked on
the case and finally located Stone
through draft sent through a Clark
ston bank. The draft went To Sack
Bailey" but the sheriff was satisfied
that Bailey" was Stone. He tele-
graphed the authorities in Colorado
to make the arrest. Stone was traced
from Steamboat Springs to Denver
and thence to Burlington, Colo,
where his arrest occurred on Dec. %.
Now he is held at Lexington, the Mis-
souri, officers advising Sheriff Shafer
that he is the man wanted.
1t is not known that Stone had
ever resided in this section any great
length of time, but the father, Pink
h, fc,
Der of years. He is now spending
the winter in California. Sheriff
Shafer states that about the time
young Stone was in the Palouse
country, Pink Stone was arrested in
Latah county because of his conduct
being considered suspicious when he
visited numerous farm crews without
adequate explanation. The idea at
the time Of his arrest was that he
might be an I. w. w. contemplating
some act of sabotage in the grain
fields. 1t is Sheriff Skaters view that
the father was then seeking his son
the harvest crews of that sec
ton. It appears that at the time Of
Pink Stones arrest, the Latah author
tiles secured from his person letters
of nature indicating the writer was
connected with some tragedy and
these letters the Latah county au-
thorities have retained. The sugges-
tion is that these letters were writ
ten by the son to the father when the
former was fleeing from Missouri
and had solicited assistance.
The circumstances Of the triple |
murder is Missouri as described in
letter received by Sheriff Shafer are
given as follows:
On the night of May Sheriff Toll
,ert of Lafayette county and Deputy
5heriffs John Mcdonald and Edward
Stapleton were killed while taking
,hree prisoners from Marshall, Mo-,
% Lexington. The men were charged
With auto theft. They looked peace
lble and were not handcuffed when
,laced IN the auto. The three pris-
'nerS sat ON the back seat, with Dep
lty Sheriff Mcdonald sitting on the
ap of the man in the center. Sher-
IF Tolbert and Deputy Stapleton oc-
,upied the front seat. Halfway be- I.
ween Marshall and Lexington the
prisoners overpowered and killed the (
hree officers. The way they carried
out the guilty men alone can ex-
lain. The bodies of the victims were f.
ound May 6, two days later.

BRYAN NAMED BY
PROHIBITIONIST
Standard Bearer For Prohibi-
ton Party Selected First Day
of National Convention.

Lincoln, Neb., July Civilian
Jennings Bryan was nominated by
reclamation as the Prohibition partys
presidential nominee at the National
Convention here today.
The nomination came after reso-
luton rendering" him the position
OF standard barer. Ii was brought
out that he had telegraphed to friends
here that he scould not accept" The
resolution was adopted with only six
dissenting votes out OF 200 delegates
present.
Nomination First Day.
The convention upset a precendent
by selecting candidate the first day.
The nomination came after a SIAM
pede of the delegates was started by
a resolution of w G. Calderwood, of
Minnesota, rendering" Bryan the
leadership and asking him to reply
promptly whether he would accept.
Chas Bryan, brother of w. J. Bryan
sent letter to the convention urging
that il reject the resolution, saying
w. J. Bryan did not want the nomin-
alton. Speakers then charged that Sc
cret conferences between certain dele
gates and Chas. Bryan we're held in
the last twenty-four hours with the
apparent object OF preventing Bryan's
nomination on the ground he did not
want to be named. The fact that these
conferences we're made public seemed
to anger many delegates, and speech
after speech favoring the Calderwood
resolution followed until Miss Marie
Bresham, of California, the first wo-
man selected chairman of national
political convention, relinquished the
chair and placed Bryan in nomination.
Calderwood Resolution.
The Calderwood resolution follows
Resolved, That the Prohibition
National convention confronted by
the cowardice of both old parties, as
shown by the silence of their plat
forms on the great issue of the cen
fury and is re-shown by food OF
requests from men and women of all
parties, that we hereby tender our
nomination for president of the
United States to that peerless, moral,
political leader, William Jennings
Bryan. We hereby instruct the Of
flcers of the convention to immediate
ly communicate with Bryan and re-
port his reply to this convention"

ed BY the Commission at the request
of the railroad managers. Another bill
lion must be added OF the railroad
Labor Board grants proposed wage
increases to 1000, 900 workers, Wealth
erly said he assumed.
Increased freight rates are reflected
in living costs, not in straight pro-
portion, but magnifed about as per
cent" Weatherly said
This is because the public pays a
freight rate increase several times in
stead OF once.
Zone increased rate is paid when
the cattle go from the plains where
they Craze to the slaughterhouse.
The second increase is paid when
the raw hides are shipped from the
slaughterhouse to tannery, third
from tannery to shoe manufactur-
ing house and fourth when the
finished shoe goes from manufacturer
to the dealer.
Shoes show a manifcation of tine
rail increase four times. In some COM
modities, however, the increase is
magni6ed only three times.
There is another factor. The IN
creased freight rates paid by each
dealer or manufacturer is added to
his cost of operation on which he fig
ures his profits on percentage basis
There seems no getting around the
fact that freight rate increase means
a tremendous boost in prices of every
commodity produced in the United
States, Every person in the United
States is bound to feel the increase
1t means a tax of about 500 year
for each of the $1O0,0OO,OOO persons
in the United States"
