by' William L. Ward and William Barnes,
Jr.. will he carried Into the Republican
State Convention tomorrow in Carnegie
Hall, and there will he witnessed one of
the most plcturesoue fklhts that has
marked a state convention in many years.
That Mr. Hughes will be Indorsed, how
ever, was the prediction today, even of
those who were sharpening their weapons
to attack him. At one time during the day
It was the belief of the state chairman
and other leaders that the convention
would end wlfh a complete repudiation of
Mr. Hughes and a hearty Indorsement of
Secrteary Taft, but Timothy Woodruff
and Herbert Parsons partly stilled the
brewing storm and both declared tonight
there was no doubt that Mr. Hughes
would he Indorsed and that the slate of
delegates at large, which was framed up
today, would be put through by the con
vention. Slate) for Delegates.
The plate is as follows:
General Stewart Ij. Woodford, Edward
Vi. Butler. Frederick R. Hazard. Setft
Low.
There were reports that Senator Alfred
It. rage would Introduce in the convention
a resolution approving the attitude of the
tJovernor on the Percy-Gray racing laws,
and these were, in a measure, confirmed
by Mr. Page, who said:
" have heard nothing of it, but. If the
leaders say so, I guess It must be so."
Avoid Fight on Betting.
Presentation of such a resolution
would precipitate a hitter fight, and
unless the leaders could find some loop
hole to escape, it' might bring about a
line-up of th delegates. It is known
that the matter of introducing such a
resolution was talked of by a few men
who have been prominent in the party.
The reception such a resolution would
get was indicated by Mr. Woodruff.
When asked about the platform, 1?
said :
"There will be nothing in the -platform
pertaining to state or local mat
ters. It will be purely National In
character."
Organizes Fight on Hughes.
William L. Ward, of Westchester,
member of the National Committee and
one of the Intimate political advisers
f President Roosevelt, will lead the
fight agalnet an indorsement of Mr.
Hughes, 'lie declared tonight that he
could not state just what his pro
gramme would be. During the late
afternoon and evening Mr. Ward, was
endeavoring to effect combinations
with leaders from other sections of the
state, the purpose of which was to
crystaltxe the opposition to Mr. Hughes
and prevent his Indorsement
Fassett Brings Peace.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Hughes league, at which
resolutions were adopted leaving the
selection of de.legates-at-large to the
state convention, and the arrival of
Senator Faaaett from Washington with
resolutions indorsing Mr. Hughes for
President and commending the Nation
al and state administrations, relieved
the crituatlon of its uncertainty.
Senator White will be elected chair
man of the committee on resolutions,
which will draw up the platform con
taining the Indorsement for the Presi
dential candidates. The platform will
declare for a revision of the tariff to

Ir moralizes the Poor and Violates
Constitution Shows Xo Mercy
to Opponents.
TVATERTOWX, N. T., April 10. Gov
ernor Hughes was the guest of honor at
the annual banquet of the Watertown
Chamber of Commerce at the Woodruff
House tonight. His address dealt large
ly with racetrack gambling. He said:
Shameful tt 1 -when men try to use the
Government as a means to accomplish their
ends, especially a democratic government.
In a republican government, the perversion
of administration to the interest of the few
is tn r.oinon the system. It must be eradi
cated- The question before us recently 4e
fundamental. I am opposea to raceiraca
gambling because It demoralizes and pro
motes vice and constitutes a source of un
necessary temptation. Go through the offi
ces in the City of New York and you wiil
fl nd v-hat racetrack rambling- has d one. I
am on nosed to It. because It does not come
from the gentlemen of wealth who can spend
their money without loea, but the clerks,
fathers with famines dependent upon them.
They become not only waifs of fortune but
ready material out of which the criminals
of the state are made.
But there is a far more fundamental ques
tion before ns. The question is one that
goes to the very root of the Government.
This question Is whether this is a uue of
law and whether the constitution is to be
respected or not- We have the constitution
and tt Is clear that there are many ques
tions which admit of honest debate. But
there is not a man In this state who can
reed the constitution, which explicitly for
bids gambling, who does not know that it
Is the duty of the Legislature to abolish the
privileges of the Percy-Gray law. There has
been a pretense of debate on the question
but no real debate. Pool eeJllng and book-
making are prohibited by the constitution.
Kookms-klng and pool selling actually fur
nish no pretense to actual business and they
are flourishing because there is no adequate
way to stop them.
My friends, we have got something more
at stake here than the matter of a moral
question. We are face to face with the
Question whether the constitution Is the
law of this state or not. Would any Legis
lature say that it had the right to pass
a lam- legalising Monte Carlos- in Water
town and Nw York. Syracuse and Buffalo?
Read the constitution and draw your own
conclusions. The time has come when we
must determine whether the law is to pre
vail or not.
Any cf you who do not like the consti
tution, go to work to get it amended. If
you want laws that you can enforce, they
must be lmuarttai. Make them fair.

Pnts Vnconious Man In Wheel

Held Injured Man Ksoapes
and Is Brought to Hospital.
PKXDLETOX. Or.. April (Special.)
With a shotgun wound in the back of
his shoulder large enough to admit a
man's fist. Fred Dietz lies In the hospital
In this city tonifrht near to death. The
remains of his assailant, Joe Baterman,
burned to a crisp, were' late this after
noon dug; from the ashes of what, up till
about 8 o'clock this morning, was a cabin
occupied by the two men on Switzler'a
Island.
It was not believed Diets would live
until he' reached the hospital, but now
that he is here, physicians say he has a
fighting chance for his life. The two
men were partners and had squatted on a
piece of land on the island in the Co
lumbia River, about 30 miles northwest
of this city. Unable to make a living
from the ranch, they took turns going out
in search of work. Baterman returned
yesterday from an unsuccessful hunt for
employment. Diets was to make a try
this morning and a quarrel followed his
refusal to leave his watch.
Shoots at rive Feet.
It was not serious, however, and Diets
stepped out of the house when Baterman
appeared in the doorway behind him ana
at a distance of five feet let drive with a
No. 10 shotgun. The charge struck him
high In the back of the shoulder and
rendered him unconscious. A terrible
wound was torn In the man's back and
some of the shot pierced the right lung.
When brought to the hospital he was still
spitting large quantities of blood and air
from his lungs came out through the
wound. The suspender buckle and bits
of the denim Jumper were carried Into
the body and lodged by the side of the
spine, a process on one of the vertebrae
of which was also torn off. The suspen
der buckle probably saved his life.
Wheels Partner Toward Klver.
That Baterman was seized with a tem
porary fit of insanity there can be no
doubt. After firing the shot he picked
up the unconscious body of his friend
and partner, p'aced it in a wheelbarrow
and started across a field of new plowed
ground to the river. When about 100
yards from the cabin Dietz came to and
rolled himself from the barrow. Bater
man then tried to kill him with his fists
and finding he could not do this, he
said he would go get the hatchet and
finish him.
When he returned with the hatchet
Diets pleaded and prayed for his life,
promising to forgive his assailant every
thing If he would only give him a chance
to live and would go get a doctor.
Baterman finally consented to spare his
life, but said he would kill himself, for
he- would be hung anyway. He helped
HE'S GOING SOME, BUT WE'LL SEE -LATER HOW FAST
Tnetz into the shade of a tree at the
latter" request and then told him not to
move from the spot or It would be all
day with him.
The insane man then returned to the
cabin and as soon as he was out of
sight Diets managed to get to his feet
and walked nearly a mile to a neigh
bor's. "
The neighbor with his entire family
took the wounded man in a boat to Uma
tilla, where he was placed on a train and
brought to Pendleton. As they were
crossing the river they heard two shots
from th" direction of the cabin and later
saw it burning. When officers reached
the scene several hours later nothing but
smouldering ruins and the charred re
mains of Baterman were left to mark the
site.

The clue to the location of the anarch
ists is said to have been furnished by a
list containing the names of several thou
sands which recently fell Into the hands
of the Government. Tracing down the
list, it has been found that for every
name on it there are several anarchists,
ranging from two or three to a group
of 10 or 20, or even more, living in the
same town. '

WASHINGTON. April 1 O.t Special.
As the result of the primaries in Now
York and "Wisconsin, In both of which
Secretary Taft appears to have taken
delegates away from favorite sons, a
prominent stippor'ter of a candidate for
the Republican nomination today pre
dicted that President Roosevelt would
yet be the nominee of the Republican
party for President at the Chicago
convention.
Only Man Sure of Winning.
"You would be surprised at th
growth of thi feeling; among; the lead,
era of the party, if I could tell you
the names of men who are talking; la
this manner to me." he said today.
'It would not surprise me to see the
opposition to Secretary Taft simply
bide Its time, and then move the re
nomination of the President. There
a growing feeling that he Is the only
Republican who can possibly be elected
next Fall,, and this consideration will
be the deciding factor at Chicago.'
Members of the allied forces today
admitted that the defection of William
Barnes, of Albany, and William Ward,
of Weatchester. from Governor Hughes
meant- that National Committeeman
Ward had deserted the camp of the
allies on all proposition except pos
sibly the renomi nation of the Presi
dent himself. It was also admitted
that National Committeeman Brooke,
of Connecticut was allied with the
Taft movement. With those defections
It Is hard to see how the allies can
hope to control the National Commit
tee at Chicago, which decides the con
ests for delegate seats In the con
vention. Roosevelt Control New York.
In the opinion of many leaders here,
Mr. Roosevelt stilt controls- the situa
