BAY STATE UNINSTRUCTED
FRIENDS OF TAFT AND HUGHE8
COMPROMISE AT CON-
VENTION.
Boston, Mass., April 11.—The four
men who will head the Massachusetts
delegation to the Republican National
convention will go to Chicago unpledg-
ed. These four delegates selected
at the State convention yesterday are
United States Senators Henry Cabot
Lodge and Wm. M. Murray Crane, ex-
Secretary of the Navy John D. Long
and Sidney 0. Blgney, a business man.
The convention adopted resolutions
Indorsing Gov. Curtis Guild, Jr., as a
candidate for the Vice Presidential
nomination and advocating a “wise
revision” of the tariff. On the ques
tlon of the Presidential candidacy of
Secretary Taft the platform held that
the convention “recognized that a
majority of the delegates to the con-
vention desired his nomination, but
that It was uncertain whether a res-
olution of preference would be carried
and its presentation would certainly
lead to a contest, which would be In-
jurious to the welfare of the party.”
This last named plank, the adoption
of which was the feature of the con-
vention it was admitted by all the
party leaders, was a compromise.
City Attorney Complains That Prison-
er Was Improperly Released.—Or-
dinance Banishing Chickens
Is Ordered Drawn—Finan-
cial Report Made.
Several matters of Importance came
up at the adjourned meeting of the
City Council last nlgjit. Among these
was a police court Investigation, the
school tax election, and the antl-chlck-
en ordinance.
When Mayor Acheson called the
meeting to order he called attention
the dismissal of the case against
Harry Carter, charged with discharg-
ing fire arms within the city limits.
He said the report reached him that
the City Attorney and the police hand-
ling the case were not consulted in
the matter and that the case had boen
improperly handled.
Judge W. S. Pearson, who was pres-
ent was called on for an explanation. ,otH, rprelnts for
Judge Pearson said that he had been, from all sources.

approached by J. p. Haven, represent
lng Carter, who asked that the case
be dismissed. After consulting one
of the policemen, he decided that
there was no evidence against the
man that would-result In his convic-
tion and he ordered him released from
Jail that afternoon (Thursday.)
City Attorney Smith said that he
and the officers interested were under
the impression that the case in ques-
tion had been continued until Friday
morning and that he had appeared in
court yesterday morning to prosecute
Carter, when he was surprised to hear
that the case had been dismissed the
day before, inasmuch as the prisoner
had told the officer;, who made the
arrest that he wanted to plead guilty.
He was informed by the police that
the case had been continued to Friday
to allow a witness, who had taken the
gun from Carter, to appear at the trial.
This witness was at Sherman on
Thursday and could not possibly at-
tend the trial until Friday morning.
Chief of Police Wisdom made a
statement in which he said he was not
familiar with the case as he had been
called to Sherman Thursday and did
not have the proper time to look Into
the matter.
Commissioner Tobin, who is chair-
man of the Police Committee, said
that from what he had heard he was
incltned to believe the case was a bun-
glesome job. The matter was not
mentioned again at the meeting.
The next matter to come before the
Connell was the school petition. Sec-
retary Yocom stated that he had gone
over the signatures on the petition
as to whether the signers had paid
their poll tax and that he had found
ten who had not paid the tax and were
disqualified on that account. He then
turned the list over to City Assessor
Wood and .that official found the
namoB of sixty persons who paid no
personal or real estate taxes and
which brought the total number of de-
linquents up to seventy. Judge Pear-
son, after the petition had been read,
presented a supplementary petition
of some twelve names of people whom
he said wanted to sign the original pe-
tition. In explaining his method of
securing signatures, Judge Pearson
said that in securing the names to the
petition he asked the signers If they
had'paid their poll tax and if they
owned property In the city. As a no-
tary public he would then take an ac-
knowledgment and pass on to the
next person.
When Judge Pearson had finished j
speaking, Commissioner Suggs sug-
gested that it would be advisable to
let the matter go over to the next
meeting, May 7, in order to strictly
comply with the Charter requirements,
as there were a number of people who
would assault the petition If It was not
exactly up to the notch.
Under the head of new business,
City Secretary Yocom read
lowing petition, which was signed by
375 people:
of the Council to a matter which he
said wag of Interest to the communi-
ty, and that was the raising of a fund
for the purpose of erecting a suitable
monument to the memory of Justin
Raynal, who in hls time was a public
spirited citizen. He said that Mr.
Raynal had donated the building to
the city in which the council meet-
ings were being held and that It was
only right that the city take some
steps jointly with the former stu-
dents of the Denison schools in plac-
ing an appropriate remembrance over
his last resting place. Commissioner
Tobin suggested that a committee
from the City Commission and the
School Board be appointed to work
hand in hand in raising funds for the
monument. Commissioner Suggs mov-
ed that the Mayor appoint a commit-
tee, outside of the members of the
Commission and School Board, and
lend his influence to the work of rais-
ing funds for that purpose. The mo-
tion prevailed and the Mayor will
probably name the committee some
time today.
Commissioner Suggs reported that
the tax suit styled, “The City of Deni-
son vs. J. W. Madden," had been set-
tled out of court oxt a basis of $18,000.
In the canvass of the election re-
turns of last Tuesday the results were
the same as published in the Herald
last Wednesday with the exception of
Suggs, who received a total of 453
votes Instead of 456. Mr. Suggs was
declared elected and Judge W. S. Pear-
son, who was present, administered
the oath of office.

POLITICS IN TENNESSEE.
Fort Worth, Tex., April 11.—Senator
L. G. Senter made a speech before
the Tarrant County Good Government
Club last night, during which he de-
nied the charge that the anti-Bailey
movement is the result of the machi-
nations of W. R. Hearst. On this
point he ,sa d:
“In his speech at Lufkin Mr. Bai-
ley reiterated the well-known charge
that Mr. Hearst is back of the move-
ment against him in Texas and refers
to me as leader of tho Hearst forces in
Dallas County. [ do not regard this
as a very material matter, but as Mr.
Bailey seems to attach such import-
ance to it, the public may like to know
who in Texas were connected with the
candidacy of Mr. Hearst for the Pres-
idential nomination in 1904.
“There was a Hearst Club in Dal-
las County, of which Dr. W. J. Thur-
mond was president and Billy Shea
was secretary. I was not a member
of it. Both of these gentlemen were
active supporters of Mr. Bailey. 1
favored the nomination of Senator
Marion Cockrell of Missouri, and caus-
ed a letter to be written to him to as-
certain his wishes in the matter. My
own action was assured by a story in
the St. Louis Republic in which it
was stated that August Belmont had
run over from New York to Washing-
825 *01 ton and was closeted with Senator
J* | Bailey and some others and was ar-
2«'on ranging to secure their support of the
U* | candidacy of Judge Parker.
45 “I knew enough about Belmont tb
know that I did not want any candi-
date whose interests were furthered
by him. I promptly took ground in
Dallas County against Parker. Several
of us who were against Parker joined
Patteraon and Carmack Lock Horns
at Nashville Tonight.
Nashville, Tenn., April 11.—At the
Vendome Theater in this city tonight
Governor Patterson is to deliver an
address which will mark the formal
opening of his contest with ex-Senator
Carmack for the Democratic nomina-
tion for Governor of Tennessee, which
is equivalent to an election. The con
test has excited the keenest interest-
throughout the State. Both candi-
dates have opened headquarters In
thi3 city and have otherwise prepar-
ed for a vigorous campaign. Begin-
ning next week the rival candidates
will appear in a series of joint de-
bates to take place in Chattanooga,
Nashville, Knoxville, Bristol and oth-
er leading cities of Tennessee. Al-
together forty-two meetings of the
two speakers have been scheduled.
The well-known fighting abilities of
the two men Insure one of the liveliest
contests in the political records of
Tennessee. Mr. Carmack is highly
popular, but Governor Patterson, who
is the son of the late Congressman
Josiah Patterson, is a man of great
political resources and Is a born fight-
er. He has the machine hack of him
and a following of officeholders on
whose loyalty he may count. The
prejudice against machine politics
has reached Tennessee, however, and
public sentiment on that question has
been expressed unmistakably. How
far it may affect the result In this
contest It Is too early to predict

As a result of the motion made by
City Commissioner Suggs at the meet-
ing of the council last night, that the
Mayor appoint a committee outside of
the members of the City Commission
and School Board to raise funds for
the Raynal monument. Mayor Acheson
this morning named the following
