A KOI IIMf IXPtCfED AT
CONVENTION
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaska ]
Seattle, July 3.? Richard Ryan is In
Seattle and will leave for Juneau on j
July 6 to attend the republican ;
district convention of Alaska.
Ryan says that the split In the party i
at Nome is as wide as ever and that
two sets of delegates have been elected !
and will present their case to the com- '
rnittee on credentials at the convention, j
Neither one of these factions will tol- '
erate being barred from the convention j
and as they each havn affiliation? in 1
other parts of the district, the results'
must be either a double-barreled con- 1
vention such as was experienced at the
last general gathering of the party, or
else a big bolt . In either event the
party strength will be so badly stam
peded that the nomination of the body
will be quite meanlesis. Cale's success
for the nomination depends more on
the outcome of the Nome fight than
anything else, as one of the factions
there are bitter'y opposed to him.
Kyan expects much jockying at the
convention and the location of the cap
ital is to be brought to bear on the
Juneau strength to switch it to the
north or the interior 'en the delegate
nomination.

lation upon maintaining discipline In
the army but his voice ivas drowned by
cries of "murderer," "assasin," "you
organized the Jewish massacres." The
peasant members setmed wild with
rage at his presence and kept up a
storm of invective as long as General
Pavloff was upon the tribune. The
general finally bowed to the speake,
and retired.
The C7.W has decided to accept all the
legislation passed by the douma to date.

Doings in the Thaw-White
Fracas
New York, June 30.--The grand jury
following: the finding of the coroner's
jury at the inquest over the remains of
Stanford White, that the deceased
came to his death at the hands of Harry
Thaw, has returned an indictment
against Thaw for murder in the first
degree.
Evelyn Nesbit, Harry Thaw's wife,
was summoned to appear before the
grand jury but took advantage of the
law which exempts wives from testi
fying against their husbands and re
fused to be examined. She was there
fore excused.
The physician who performed the
autopsy on the remains of Stanford
White affirm that he was far pone with
Bright's disease of the kidneys, and
tuberculosis, and that he could not
have lived over two years in any event.
Sidelights on New York Gnllded Lift
New York, July 2. ? An investigation
into the estate of Stanford White shows
that aside from a quarter of a million
dollars of life insurance, it is heavily
involved in debt.
Harry Thaw's attorney entered a
plea of not guilty as charged yesterday,
but it will probably be withdrawn
today and a plea based upon emotional
insanity substituted.
An officer of the society for the pre
vention of cruelty to children says that
au application for the arrest of Stan
ford White on the charge of ruining a
twelve year girl whom he had enticed
into his office, bad been made to the
society. The story that Whito took a
party of drunken women into his mag
nificent home last month, and that be
brutally pushed his wife back when
she remonstrated with him for doing
so. and that the party caroused there
all night in spite of the remonstrances
of Mrs. White, cannot be confirmed by
testimony.
