a posse, but as the robbers secured a

their being overtaken before daylight.
The rough country to the south of the
city will afford a good refuge for the
fugitives tonight.
CUTTING HAIR AND PRICES
Boss Barbers of Tacoma Having In
teresting Price War.
TACOMA. Wash., Feb. 11. (Special.)
More hair cuts were sold in Tacoma dur
ing the past 48 hours than ever before
in the same length of time. The reason
is that there is a fight on between the
boss barbers and the price of hair cuts is
being slashed daily. Today in many bar
bershops it was possible to have such
work done in the most approved style for
13 cents. Very few barbers charged more
than 20 cents.
in one shop the proprietor is advertising
hair cuts and tonic for 20 cents and is
also giving all his patrons coupons on a
$00 gold watch. In the meeting of boss
barbers a few day3 ago it was decided
to reduce the price from 35 cents to 25
cents. Many declared they would make it
exciting for all if the price was cut
down. It was reduced and now the fight
is on.

FAVOR STATEMENT NO. 1
But Labor Leaders Deny That They
Support Any Candidates.
While not denying that a conference
was held last Sunday, prominent members
of organized labor In Portland declare the
meeting had no political significance.
They admit that the purpose of the gath
ering was to formulate some plan for de
fending Statement No. 1 from the attacks
that are being made on it, but deny that
the support of any candidates was dis
cussed. The sole purpose of the meeting,
it is averred, was to determine some plan
by which Statement No. l'mlghtjje cham
pioned effectively among the laboring
men who, those attending the conference
Insist, are unanimously in favor of that
plan -of electing United States Senators. ,
"I am unqualifiedly in favor of State
ment No. 1," said R. A. Harris, editor
elect of the Portland Labor Press, official
organ of the Federated Trades Council,
yesterday, "and I believe organized labor
is a unit with me upon that issue. I at
tended a meeting on Sunday, the purpose
of which was to 'boost' Statement No. 1,
but there was no suggestion of candidates
and such a thing was never contemplated
by those responsible for the movement. I
firmly believe the informant responsible
for the story in today's papers purposely
injected the creations of his own imagina
tion and that they were Intended, if pos
sible, further to widen a breach In union
ranks that all real union men are bending
their efforts to heal."

Plot In Sympathy With
Los Angeles Prisoners.
TUCSON. Ariz., Feb. 11. A revolu
tionary attempt to kill every American
at the Santa Kosa Mine In Sonora. 20
miles south of Douglas, was made on
Saturday last, when Mexican employes
placed sticks of dynamite under -a
boarding-house, the company store, the
foreman's and superintendent's resi
dences. The fuses attached .to the dy
namite -were timed for the explosions to
follow each other i quick succession.
The hour selected was during the even
ing meal, when all the American min
ers were in the board-house and the
foreman and the superintendent in
their respective residences. -
Series of Explosions.
The first explosion was at the board-Ing-hGuse:
It was demolished. Fifteen
men eating- there were blown through
the roof, sustaining broken legs and
arms, but there were no fatalities. - The
store was completely demolished.- ,-
Tom Fagin, the foreman, and his
wife were in their honie, but the dyna
mite failed to ignite. The superin
tendent's office was demolished, but he
was out of the building and escaped.
Governor Torres has been notified
and Rurales under Commander Koster
lisky are already on the scene! Eigh
teen Mexicans are under arrest at the
mine.
Motive of Conspirators.
The attempt to destroy the Ameri
cans is believed to be the work of
sympathizers with the revolutionists
at present under arrest at Los Angeles,
who believe the prisoners are being
persecuted by Americans. There has
been no trouble at the mine previously
and no other cause is conceivable.
OHIO S0LIDLY FOR TAFT
(Continued From Firt rage )
Court today declared that the Rodway
Committee of Cuyahoga County, which
was controlled by the Taft people. Is the
valid county organization in that county,
and today's primaries will be held under
the management of that organization.
The committee which was sustained by
the Supreme Court today had previously
been declared regular by the Republican
State Central Committee and by two
of the lower courts. The Foraker people
contended, however, that the Board of
Elections had final authority by implica
tion to decide what was the rightful
committee: that later the board, under
direction from the Secretary of State,
and not because it had altered Its opinion,
recognized the Taft committee. They
accordingly asked that the board be en
joined from exercising its executive power
contrary to the way in which it had ex
ercised its Judicial functions.
The Supreme Court in affirming de
cisions given previously by the Circuit
Court, and common Pleas Court of
Cuyahoga County, declared hat the
Board of Elections is without authority
to ignore the committee recognized by
the State Central Committee, that the
committee it named must be appointed.
Judges Crew, Summers, Spear and Davis
concurred in the decision. Chief Justice
Schauck and Judge Price did not par
ticipate in the case.

230 precincts, but in no Instance was the

to name a delegate. The delegates se
lected wore those nominated by the "reg
ular" Republican county executive com
mittee, upon whom a fight for control wa3
made by the Forakerltes. On February
18 the Twenty-first district delegates will

OREGON CASE 01 APPEAL
BEAN SUING FOR ESTATE IN
UMATILLA.
Husband of Indian Woman Defend
ing Title Against Man Believed
to Be Her Son. '
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 11. Before Cir
cuit Judges Gilbert, Ross and Morrow sit
ting as the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals, the case of Lester Bean
against the United States and James and
Holeoinb, was argued,, the. appeal having
been taken by Bean from the decision of
the Circuit Court of Oregon.
A' nice law point is involved relating
to the Government's position toward its
Indian wards. The defendant, Holcomb,
married the youngest daughter of Joseph
Gale, she being the granddaughter of a
Umatilla Indian chief. llolcomb's wife
died about 20 years ago and after she had
been dead for about 18 years the plaintiff,
Lester Bean, appeared and claimed that
he was the natural son of Clara Gale
before her marriage to Holcomb.
The wife after, her marriage to Holcomb
was given an allotment of a very valuable
tract of land In tne Umatilla Indian Res
ervation in Oregon. By the law of Ore
gon her husband was the sole heir, pro
vided there had been no children. The
case was tried out In the United States
Circuit Court at Portland. The court
found that the proof was sufficient to es
tablish the illegitimate son's existence,
and decreed that under the laws of the
State of Oregon the hus-bahd had a cour
tesy title during his natural life In the
property and its rents and profits, which
so far have 'been about $12,000, the annual
rental being In the neighborhood of $1000.
The question before the Appellate Court
is whether the husband is entitled to a
courtesy title in an Indian allotment in
which the Government Jias given an equit
able title to the land to the allottee and
retains the legal title for the protection of
the Indian.
