SPLIT IN THIRD PARTY
Dixon I'niible to Heal Breach of Col
orado Factions.
Dixon, Colo., Sept. 4. Senator
Joseph M. Dixon failed in his mis
sion here to unite the progressive
republican party of Colorado with
the progressive party. Leaving early
early today for Salt Lake City to
confer with the progressives there,
he carried with him the knowledge
that there are two sets of Roose
velt supporters in this state who are
irreconcilable opponents as to the
composition of the state progressive
ticket.
The progressive republican party
of Colorado, represented by Philip
Stewart, M. D. Vincent and At
torney General Griffith, formally and
finally severed all connections and
negotiations with the progressive
party of which Edward P. Costigan
and Judge Ben Lindsey are the rec
ognized leaders.
Stewart, Vincent and Griffith in a
statement declared the progressive
republican party of Colorado will
participate in regular republican pri
maries. :
The announcement came after
practically 48 hours or conferences
with Mr. Dixon, Gov. Johnson, pro
gressive party vice presidential can
didate. Judge Lindsey, and E. P. Cos-
tigan. Tho negotiations came to an
end when Stewart declined to with
draw his name from the guberna
torial race and to withdraw his
name as candidate for governor at
the September primaries of the re
publican party and accept Instead
from the progressive party exclus
ively the nomination for United
Mates senator, long term, thus
throwing the support of his follow
ers to the state progressive organi
zation, whose candidate for governor
is E. P. Costigan.
Tho progressive republicans, while
remaining in the regular organiza
tion, announce they will support the
national progressive ticket and work
for Roosevelt electors.
Senator Dixon, following the con
ference, heU a second one with the
state progressive party to fill va
cancies. It was there decided the progres
sive party would put a full ticket in
the field.
. D. catiin, of Montrose, was
slated for United States senator,
long term, which Stewart rejected
and C. F. Fisher, of Sterling, and
D. C. BurnF, of Denver, were named
for represetation at targe.
FIGHT IN THE EIGHTH
But Four of Nine Counties In Dis
trict Are Represented in Conven
tion Which is a Joint One.
Statesville, Sept. 4. The republi
cans of the eighth congressional dis
trict held t-, conventions in one here
yesterday afternoon, and nominated
a candidato for congress and two
presidential electors, ono for Taft
and one for Roosevelt. Five of the
counties of the district, Ashe, Stan
ly, Cabarrus, Watauga, and Alio
ghany, ere without representatives
in the convention. There as little
enthusiasm, the only applause being
at the mention of Roosevelt's name
early in the proceedings.
G. D. B. Reynolds of Stanly was
nominated as the candidate for con
gross .by acclamation, and. In a sim
ilar manner T. O. Teague of Alex
ander county was named as presi
dentlal elector. Then followed the
selecting of an executive committee
of the district and the convention
adjourned, however, without the
delegates leaving their seats.
R. V. Tharpe of Statesville, who
had acted as chairman, immediately
called J. Turner Jennings of this
county to the chair and a new con
vention with the same delegates as
sembled. Mr. Tharpe addressed tho
convention, explaining that, while
to a moral certainty the elector
chOBen In November, from this dls
trlct would caBt his vote for Wood
row Wilson, at the same time It was
due the mjny republicans in the dis
trict who are for Roosevelt that
they should have a man as elector
for whom they could vote. A delo
gate Immediately placed the name
of Mr. Tharpe before the convention
as the Roosevelt elector for the dls
trlct, and his nomination mas made
by acclamation.
It was a noteworthy fact that the
congressional convention had In It
none of the recogntzedd leaders of
the district, and that none of the
one-time enthusiasm shown by th
republicans In "the fighting eighth
was manifested. There was a mere
handful ot delegates from the three
counties represented other than Ire
dell and they had the manner of
merely going through the formality
ot making the nominations. Since
the county of Wilkes was removed
from this district It Is generally con
beded that the democrats will have
a majority oi several uivuaauu.

KAPLAN
BEACH TKI.Hj PUT OFF.
Lawyers For the State and For the
Defense Agree to a Postponement
of Celebrated Case Until February.
Aiken, S. C, Sept. 4. Smiles of
cynicism that said as plainly as
words could have expressed It "I told
you so" curled many lips in Aiken
yesterday with the announcement
that Frederick O. Beach, under in
dictment for assault and battery with
Intent to kill his wife, Mrs. Camilla
Beach, will not be brought to trial
on the charge at the September term
of the court, on the calendar of
which the case was expected by
some to appear.
The trial of the celebrated case
has been postponed until next Feb
ruary, and there are many persons
here who freely express the belief
that this is the end of the sensa
tional scandal that stirred the fash
ionable winter colony last February,
when Mrs. Beach was felled with a
fence paling in the yard of her home
and her throat lashed with a pocket-
knife. The crime was persistently
charged to a mysterious negro, but
an indictment was brought against
Beach in June.
Insist They Will Prosecute.
Those who smiled so sarcastically
and cynically yesterday have con
tended ail along that Beach never
would be brought to trial on the
Charge and frankly said that the
matter would be allowed to die a
natural death. They consider the
postponement of the trial as proof
of their convictions.
Rut Soliciil.ir Gunte and Mayor
Gyles, his law partner, protest stout
ly that there will be no such an out
come. They assert they have enough
evidenco to convict the New York
society man and will prosecute the
case to the end when it is called in
February.
The postponement was mutually
agreed to by the prosecutor and Col.
Daniel S. Henderson, chief of
Beach's ; lawyers and dean of the
Aiken bar. Ho has Just returned
from Europe, and almost immediate
ly upon his arrival called upon Mr.
Gunter. It had been understood that
Col. Henderson, could demand an
early trial, since-a term of court
had been held since the r.rrest of
his client and the case was not call
ed at that time.
Mr. Gunter says that, although he
told Col. Henderson that if he (Hen
derson) Insisted, tho case would be
placed on this month's court calen
dar, he did not find the attorney
anxious to proceed with the matter.
Several witnesses, Col. Henderson
says, are In Europe and the Beaches
are still In Maine. I
Trial For the Social Season.
Solicitor Gunter, explains that
there will be a considerable saving

then. They are mostly employes of
northern residents who come here In
the winter.
In February the Aiken winter Rea
son will be at Its height. The Harrl

Beach who warmly defended him at
the time the first sensational rumors
were circulated concerning the crime.
It is expected that many other fash
ionable folk who winter at southern
resorts will be attracted to Aiken
after the new year.
It was also learned today that
upon his arrival in New York from
abroad, Col. Henderson consulted
with nicoll. Anable, Lindsay & Ful

whether the conference concerned
the postponement could not. be as

t hief Drainage Engineer In Florida
Walks Out.
Tallahassee, Fla., Sept. 4. J. O.
Wright, chief drainage engineer of;
the state of Florida, who has been
in charge of the work of draining
the Everglades, has tendered his
resignation according to an au
nounnement made here. Action on
the resignation is expected at the
next meeting of the trustees of the
Florida internal improvement' fund.
Wright formerly was a Federal
engineer but resigned from the gov
ernment service to take his present
position. His name was brought out
recently in connection with the con
gressional investigation of alleged
fraudulent land deals in the Ever
glades. Charges recently were preferred
against Wright by two subordinates,
one of whom had been discharged
from the State servitj for criticising
the chief engineer. An answer to
these charges was filed by Wright
but no action in regard to the mat
ter was taken by the State board.
It was charged that he had accept
ed a large salary from one of the
land companies to act as supervis
ing engineer for the concern while
he was representing the State.
HELD AS HOSTAGE
Cuban Citizen Wants 2,000 Pesos to
Free His Young Wife.
El Paso, Tex., Bept, 4. After a
hard ride of more than a thousand
miles, Alonso Fernandez Arquilles,
a Cuban citizen arrived here to raise
2,000 pesos to free his young vtfe,

aged for a Mexican , concern, and
demanded 2,000 pesos, which the
Cuban could not produce. He was
given until next Wednesday to ob
tain the, money. ,
He started at once 'for El Paso,
his wife being held as hostage.
Arquilles said If he failed to ob
tain the money he would return tK
morrow and give himself up. -'
