Details of the Plan Made Pub

CAUSED BY RECENT CONTEST
Resolution is Identical With One In
troduced by Senator Quay in Phil'
idelphia in 1900 Which Was With
drawn Before it Reached Vote.
CHICAGO. Tune 13 Details of
the plan of the allies to make a fight
on the floor of the Republican na
tional convention, to reduce the rep
resentation of Southern States were
made public today b'y Representative
Eurk of Pennsylvania, the manager
for Knox. The resolution which will
be forced on the floor of the conven
tion by Burke provides , that each
state shall be entitled to four dele
gates at large, and one additional
delegate for each 10,000 votes and
two delegates from each territory
the District of Columbia, Alaska,
Hawaii, Porto Rico and Philippine
Islands. The introduction of the re
sulition is a direct outcome of the
dissatisfacton caused by the manner
in which the recent contests before
the national committee were decided.
The resolution is identical with the
one introduced by Senator Quay in
Philadelphia, in 1900, but which was
withdrawn before it reached the
Tote. '
The Presidential nomination hav
ing failed to develop the contest is
calculated to thrill the convention, the
vice-presidency has fortunately come
forward as a real factor of the doubt.
Most cagacious political prophets
frankly admit tonight that the ques
tion rA nnminatincr vice-oresident IS
all up in the air." Some of the prom
ising booms are now 'dormant, others
have made their appearance only to
be laid out of existence within the
hour Those who are mentioned are
Representative Sherman , of New
York, Secretary Cortelyou, Timothy
L. Woodruff of New York, Governor
Guild of Massachusetts, J. Franklin
Murphy of New Jersey and Senator
Dolliver.
The rivalry between Senator Dolli
ver and Secretary Cortelyou over the
vice-presidential nomination has at
tracted riiuch attention today and has
come, nearer constituting an "situa-:
rion" than any condition which has;
yet developed. The competition took
definite shape early today upon the
arryal of Senator Long of Kansas,
who is recognized as Dolliver's es
pecial champion. From then until
late tonight Long has been actively
-engaged in doing all possible to speed J
the Dolliver propaganda.

FEW
j DAYS
Cortelyou was quite as actively
represented by Assistant Secretary
Collidge, who also spend a busy day,
Dolliver is regarded as a respective
candidate but he occupies the anoma
lous position of being opposed by
friends from his own state, who arc
actuated by fear that should Dolli
vcr becomf vice-president, the Cum
mins faction of whom they have ser
ious dread would immediately step to
the front and precipitate in the sena
torial fieht which they fear would
have better prospect of winning than
in the recent contest with Allison.
oColidge is not slow in taking ad
vantage of this situation and to avail
himself of the assistance of Iowa men
as they were active in pointing out
the injustice of putting Iowans in a
disagreeable position.
While Dolliver and Cortelyou stand
out more prominently than the other
candidates, all concede there is no
certainty of the nomination of either
and the outcome of 'the contest is
exceedingly doubtful.

Court and defendant is
found guilty.
John C. Johansen of Lewis and
Clark was fined $19 in Justice Court
yesterday on the charge of having as
saulted and beaten Lloyd Foote, a
young man who lives a short distance
from Johansen's home. The case
was tried before a jury, who dclilv

and announcing their verdict. As

The little court room was crowded
during the progress of the trial, and
among the audience there was appar

present either as witnesses or out of
curiosity. The several little tilts be
tween the two lawyers kept the au
dience on the alert, and both lawyers
fought the case as if it were one of
far more imoprtancc than it really I
was, According to tne evidence
young Foote is the owner of a horse,
and the aforesaid horse is accustomed
to browse in a small pasture belong
ing tp the Footc's, yet to ihe equine's
taste the pasturage in an adjoining
field belonging to Johansen is some
what preferable, and it has been wont
to stray over, there. Johansen aver
red that he didn't like the idea. of the
horse trespassing on his property and
stated that he remonstrated with
young Foote, but without avail.
Finally, one day last week, Johnan-
sen met Foote on a nearby trial and
brought up the question of the horse,
Blows followed words, and according
to the testimony given by Foote,
Johansen struck him twice in the

face. t.
When Johansen got on the stand
he denied the assault and asserted
that young Foote approached him
with fists extended in the attitude of
a pugilist. Johansen had .five wit
nesses who testified to his good char
acter, and that he was a peaceable,
law-abiding citizen but the jury seem
ed to believe that Jolinansen, despite
his good character, must have been
in the wrong.
Immediately, after the testimony
was all in and the jury went out, ev
erybody disappeared as if by magic.
The two lawers flew for their offices,
and the two principals apparently
started for home, evidently thinking
that no one would want them any
more. Thus when Justice Goodman want
ed to impose the sentence of the
court there was not a lawyer nor
prosecuting witness or defendant in
sight. Johansen had jumped into his
gasoline launch and hurried home
to milk his cows, but the justice final
ly announced the fine in the presence
of the, defendant's attorney and

the defendant bore a good name.
