LOUISVILLE, Kt.. June The Re- ;
publican State Convention closed to-night
after a two days" session of exciting con
tests.
After adjourning the first day's session
at midniaht the convention was in con
tinned session from 10 a. m. to 7 p. m., with
refreshments, and then took a recess for
rapper until Bp. k. The delegates had
absorbed several hundred speeches and
voted more than all previous Republican
delegates in Kentucky had voted during
the present generation-
There were almost UK avowed candi
dates for the various State nominations,
and the contests were so intense that order
could not always be maintained. When
the convention took a recess from 7 to 8
p. x. there were two nominations to be
still made, but a recess was necessitated by
the inability of Chairman Evans to pro
ceed in the noisy confusion.
To-:..-. ■. session was even more bois
terous than the afternoon proceedings,
and the delegates were held in their seats
until long after midnight-
The Democratic Suite Convention meets
here June 2-5 to decide wnether the
Carlisleites for " sound money" or the
Blackburnkes for free silver shall prevail.
The Republicans think their old dominant
opponents will be so divided as to give to
day's nominees a winning chance.
The senatorship was an important factor
at this convention, J. W. Yerkes, A- E.
Wilson, John A. Lewis, George Denny and
Walter Evans being the Republican as
pirants for Senator Blackburn's place. In
his own party Senator Blackburn has ex-
Governor Buckner, ex-Governor McCreary
and Governor Brown &s his opponents.
Colonel Bradley, who was unanimously
nominated for Governor, is not in the Sen
atorial contest, but should he be elected in
this Democratic stronghold in November,
his name will be presented next year for
the Vice- Presidency.
As the State law prohibits the use of any
part of the National emblem as a dis
tinguishing mark on the Australian ballot
the convention adopted Daniel Boone's log
cabin as the Republican device instead of
the eagle.
At the afternoon session the proceedings
■were obstructed by disorder, but at the
Etssion to-night the confusion was still
greater. Four hours were consumed in
boisterous balloting for Register of Public
Lands, an oSce worth $20001 There were
ten names presented and under the rule
the lowest on each ballot was dropped.
Nominations could not be made until ail
were thus dropped except the last two.
Promptly on reassembling at S p. it. bal
loting began for .Register of the Land
Office, and it was midnight when Charles
O. Reynolds was nominated. .;i -'
The following is the ticket: Governor,
W.O. Bradley; Lieutenant-Governor, W.
J. Worthuigton; Auditor, 6. H. Stone;
Secretary of Suite, Charles Findley; Treas
urer, George W. Long; Attorney -General,

ITS OFFICE IN PORTLAND
Dispute Over the Books of the
Oregon Improvement
Company.
A Strong: Contest for Supremacy
Expected at the Next An
nua! Meeting.
PORTLAND, Ob.. June 6.— C. A. Dolph
«f this city, vice-president of the Oregon
Improvement Company, -srhen shown the
Nerr York dispatch stating that the trans
fer books and nock lists had been sent to
Portland but bad not reacted their des
tination, said:
'Weil, they must be talking 'through
their hat ? to send such 6 dif patch out
here.
'The Oregon Improvement Company is
an Oregon corporation. Its principal of
fice is in Portland and its books have never
been oat of the possession of the secretary
of the company to my knowledge. The
transfer agents in New York should have a
record of the transfer of stock.
"I know nothing whatever in relation to
the controversy in New York. I suppose
it is j>robably the usual struggle between
the ins and outs. Application was recently
ttiade to examine the stockbooks of the
•orporation here, and every facility was
•Corded for «uch examination. It is usual
for the secretary of a corporation to make
out and properly verify a list of stock
holders to be presented to the annual
stockholders' meeting, and I presume this
is what is referred to in the telegram as
stock lists. Whether Mr. Poston, the sec
retary of the Oregon Improvement Com
pany, has sent a list I am not advised.
There is no occasion to prepare it before
the annual stockholders' meeting. All
that I can say is that the office in Portland
is the proper place for persons entitled to
examine the books of the company to ap
ply for such privilege."
Regarding the question of the reported
reorganization of the Oregon Improvement
Company at the annual meeting of the
stockholders, which will be held in Port
land June 17, Mr. Dolpb said that reorgan
ization meant an entire change of the
ownership or holdings of th« corporation.
There would be no reorganization, but he
supposed there would naturally be a con
test for supremacy as to the management
of the corporation's business.
E. S. Hooley of New York, formerly one
of the directors and a member of the exec
utive committee of the Oregon Improve
ment Company with H. B. Brooks, is here
looking after the interest* of the parties
seeking to oust the present management.
Speaking of the books of the company, he
said:
"The stock ledgers were here, bat the
transfer; c: the close and tne transfer
books were not received until June 4. The
stock ledger, therefore, could not be posted.
If Mr. *"*■* sent those books May 16. I
cannot understand how it tnotil-i tike
nineteen days for them to get here."'

friends to have been murdered in Lower

from her husband for & long time, but she
adds:
"I have not given up hope. There have
been times since my return seven years
ago when I have not received a letter from
him for a long period. Recently he has
come into possession of some property and
I desired to inform him of it. I was taken
by surprise when the letters came back to
me from Los Angeles a month am un
opened. Two weeks ago I receivea two
letters from friends in Los Angeles in reply
to my inquiries. One informed me that he
had recently left for a mining camp in
New Mexico. The other stated that be had
read in an Arizona paper of his appoint
ment to a public office in that State. Nat
urally both letters relieved my mind coc-
Eiderably, and I still persist in thinking
that my husband is all right ai.d will write

mate has placed the value of the gifts at
about $700,000.

a. x. or abide the consequences.

ticing social equality, which will never be

MILWAUKEE. Wis!, June 6.— As a re
sult of the investigation by the Grand Jury
at the instance of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the officials of at least four of
the most prominent railway lines in this j
section, together with several big Eastern
lines, will be served with papers in arrest;
also a prominent Wisconsin firm of malt
sters- ■;.■";; :-■•■ .;> ■"
Among the railroads implicated are the
Chicago, Milwa;ikee and St. Paul, and
Elgin, Joliet and Eastern. The complaint
is conspiracy for the purpose of fraud. It
is charged that the railroads implicated
have been able to reap a big advantage by
means of making false weights and re
turns. Cars containing, say 40,000 pounds
of malt, would be shipped as 25,000, and so
on. Some larger firms finding themselves
undersold in the Eastern markets, began
systematic investigation which resulted in
the discovery of false weights.
LTSCHJLBS OF BaBBETT SCOTT.
Hundreds of Witnesses Summoned in a
Celebrated Case.
OMAHA, Nebr., June 6.— A special to
the Bee from Butte, Nebr., says : The Hoyt
County farmers charged with having
lynched Barrett Scott, the defaulting:
Treasurer of the county, -were arraigned to
day and pleaded not guilty.
Two hundred witnesses are present, one
third for the State. The prisoners are al
leged to be the committee appointed by
vigilantes of Northwestern Nebraska to re
move Scott, who bankrupted the county
by stealing $120,000. They took him from
his family carriage on New Year's night,
hanged him and hid ms body in a river.
I The feeling here to-day is that the trial
of the case will pile up a bill of costs on
the county and result in a farce and the
eventual acquittal of the men accused. A
few are of the opinion that the State will
foot the bill in the end.

AFTER TWO BIG FEEDERS
Struggle for the Oregon Short

Receiverships.
INTEREST ON MORTGAGES DUE.
Attorneys Argue the Claims of the
American Loan Company for
the Control.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Jane C— The Ore
gon Short Line and Utah Northern re
ceivership case came up before Judge Mer
rittthi3 morning. Distinguished lawyers
were present for both tides of the case.
Mr. Storey, for the American Loan and
Trust Company, opened the proceedings
by reciting the story of the now notable
case, lit} paid the interest on the mort
gage wan in default and the traffic contract
having been broken by the Union Pacific
it had no claim, therefore the loan and
trust company demoded its rights tinder
the mortgage. it was wrong to place both
interests, which were adverse to each
other, in th»: same hands. The loan com
pany offered to pay the interest on the
first mortgage and asked the termination
of the Union Pacific receivership.
Senator Thufston said: "We are will
ing if you pay, but you ask the court to
raise the money by receivers' certificates."
Storey said they only asked the right to
pay it out of their own property.
Judge Merritt made several inquiries as
to the intention to leave the Utah South
ern extension and wa3 informed that
such was not the intention, but there was
no direct assurance that the loan and
trust company would take that extension.
Attorney Sanborn, representing the first
mortgage bondholders, argued against the
separate receivership. He said the larger
interest was in behalf of those who agk
for the retention of the five receivers now
in charge of the Union Pacific, If the
loan company would pay the first mort
gage defaulting interest, then it would
have a right to ask for a separate receiver,
but they do not pay the interest, and in
asking for the issue of receivers' cer
tificates for that purpose they practically
ask the court to borrow the money.
Mr. Hall followed in the interest of the
Oregon Short Line Company. He ob
jected to the issue of receivers' certificates,
and claimed that only a portion of the
road was to be tafien, as agreed upon with
the loan company, and it was an effort to
dismember the road and increase the in
debtedness of the Short Line.
P. I. Williams, representing the Union
Pacific and the local stockholders, said
that if a receiver was appointed it should
be stipulated thai the entire road should
be taken, and that the receiver should be
some man who was acquainted with all the
interest*.
Attorney Marshall, for the loan and
trust company, said the suit by which the
five receivers were appointed was a col
lusive suit, and the parties did not repre
sent any of the creditors of the Union
Pacific He urged that the claim of the
loan company for a receiver was a right
which could not be denied.
The argument will be continued to
morrow. ___^_^_____

laxation of vigiiance on the part of the

The attendance was 4000. The event of
the day was the Mississippi Valley stakes,
a sweepstake for three-year-olds and up- j
ward, value $2000. There was a hot tip on
Corrigan's The Ironmaster, who was said
to have been shipped here to win the event.
He was jumped on by the sports and
backed down from even money to 7 to 10 in
a short time. Later the price went back
to even money, and many thousands were
put up at these figures. The Ironmaster !
got off fourth but was pocketed for a while.
Ben Lomond took the lead and burned the
track to the head of the stretch, when he
dropped out of it, and Pocahontas and The
Ironmaster had an argument for first place

the intercollegiate meets, but in their re

F. B. Ellis, the leading member of the
University of Pennsylvania athletic com

said to a reporter of the Associated Press
this evening that the resolutions expressly
stated that the Englishmen were at liberty

the Oxford athletic committee, in which

perfectly satisfactory, and that he saw no
reason why the events should not take.
place. Mr. Ellis said it looked to him as if V
the Englishmen had waited until they saw
the records of the intercollegiate winners
