W TWIN
DID SHOOTING
Because of Striking Likeness
Between Brothers, it is Im
possible to Identify Murderer.
SAN" FRAXCISCO, Cal., Juno 3. Re
alise of tho striking likeness between
Thomas O, and James Young, twin broth
era, ono of whom shot down and killed
Policeman William H. Hoins on the
Barbary coast Thursday morning, the
murderer may escape punishment. Tim
police charged both men with the crime
todayand they are being closely guard-
d in separate cells.
TCach brothor accuses tho other of the
murder. They were eonf routed with
each other in the ottieo of Captain of
Detectives Keller and James cried:-
Thati h my twin brother; T saw you
shoot the policeman," , - ;
"You lie' shouted tho other; "you
shot tho policeman and I gave you my
rovolver to do it with.' One of the men
gave the other a pistol from which .the
shots were. fired, nccording to witnesses.
Tho man who did the killing lay on the
sidownlk, pretending to be hurt, but
when tho policeman approached ho shot.
Which man is guilty it will bo hard to
tell, as the features of tho men are so
much nlike.it is impossible to tell which
is which, even when they aro together.

Doc Mqlquist, tho first Sunday lid law
violator to be brought before the su

ty as charged by a jury in Judgo Net
oror's department of a legal battle last
ing all day. The ease attracted consid
erable interest among the Haloon men
of the' city, and a large number of them
were iu attendance at the trial. The
victory is a decided encouragement for
tho state and shows that the sentiment
of some of the people at least is in favor
of the movement to close the saloons on
Sundav.
Vnder the law it is possible to assess
heavy fine against XTt'hpiist, and
therp has been considerable talk that

Republican National Com-
. -
mittee In Session to
Consider Fights for Seats
In National Convention,
f'HU'.Vfjf), June 5. Interest in repub-
lenn national politics here renters to-
lay in the convention of the republican
commuter in secret session to decide
numerous contests and the arrival of
Congressman .1. IVTiurko of Pittsburg
to open headquarters to boom the candi
dnck of Senator Philander (.'. Raj. for
the presidential nomination.
Tho Pittsburg statesman announced
wlit'u he stepped from the train early
today that he would at once ostnblish
headquarters and start things off with
ii rush, hoping that when (lie convention
is called to order he will be able to make
in excellent showing for his candidate.
When Chairman New of the nntionnl
committee called that body to order
shortly before noon, he announced that
tho first contests to bo taken under
consideration would bo the ones started
by Alabama. While these contests come
first in alphabetical order, thev are
also considered thopivotal eases in the
entire controversy, which includesSOL'O
contests,. The hearing m bound to bring
a lot of bda feeling that has been sinnul-
lering for some time.
Julius W. Davidson and Charles II
Scott, nntionnl committeemen, .1. o.
Thompson, slate chairman, are pitted
against each other in this southern con-
test. The trouble nrose over llin naming
of two complete sets of delegates to the
rcpublicnii national convention, one
headed by Hcott and Davidson and tho
other by Thompson. The latter 'a con
tention ia that tho faction he represents
la the same one was that was reeogniwd
by the national convention four years
ago. His dnlegates aro instructed for
Tat't, while the opposing delegation is
uninatructed.
It is probable that the light uiav be
so closo and bitter that the whole tiny
inay be devoU'd to the Alabama cases.
