FIGHT FOR THE SINGLE ISSUE WON Chauncey Dunn Protests Against "Gag Rule.” CHAIRMAN STEVENS SEATED PITTSBURG, May 27.—There was no lagging on the part of the delegates to the national prohibition convention today. They were all there bright and early, and long before the hour for calling the con- vention to order had come the delegates had all assembled In Music Hall at the exposition building. There were thousands of prohtbitionists from all parts of the country who had come to watch the pro- ceedings. The galleries were crowded, and so was the main floor. All were intensely interest- ed. It was the seventh national convention of the party, and according fo those old wer horses of prohibition who have taken part in every national convention the party has ever held, it was the most exciting. Never before has the party had a ques- tion to settle which caused so much con- ion as has been developed here during ast few days over the money plank > platform. A part of the delegates ere strongly in favor of adopling a p in the party platform declaring in f of the free coinage of silver on a ratio cf 16 to 1. This wing als) desires to declare for the government ownerstip of railways and telegraph lines, for woman's suffrage, abolition of trusts and monopo- for restricted immigration, end as one of the leaders put it. for “everything that anybody want: The opposing faction prohibition party should cenfine its deciar- vutlons to the one issue of prohibition. And ever since the began to assem ble, th he factions has b believes that the id Men Won. The single issue or gold standard faction, as it Is called, scored the first victory last night in the national committee when it elected A. A. Stevens of this state to act as temporary chairman of the convention, By this defeat the free silver wing was only intensified in its desire to dominate. The leaders of each side had met before the hour for calling the convention to or- der for the purpose of making final prep- arations for the fight in the convention hall. As the prominent men of the party came into the hall they were each in turn given an ovation of applause. And as the hour for calling the convention to order spproached the enthusiasm increased. It was long after 10 o'clock when Samuel Dickie, chairman of the national central committee, stepped upon the platform and alled the convention to order. When he had done this he called upon the Rev. Lewis A. Banks, D.D., of Brooklyn, to in- Yoke the blessings of God. The call of the convention was then read, after which H. L. Castle of this city made an address, welcoming the delegates to the city. In the course of his address Mr. Castle said: Welcomed to Pittsburg. “Six months ago the executive committee were invited to come to Pittsburg. You ac- cepted our invitation, and I have the honor of welcoming you to our city as the rep- resentatives of an army of 300,000 of the most loyal and single-hearted patriots and of 600,000 of as devoted, consecrated women as ever gathered under any banner or made warfare against any enemy. You have come from all sections of this vast country. From east, from west, from north, from south, you have come to our splendid city of Pittsburg. The city’s nat- ural boundaries include the spot where Washington first demonstrated his abil- ities to be a leader of men. The city where the republican party, in purity and truth- fulness, was barn for the saving of the country. “Pittsburg asked the privilege of enter- taining the republican convention, but St. Louis opened a free bar, and modern re- publicanism could not resist the temptation of a free drink. We did not ask for the democratic convention. Pittsourg has a horror of dead things. There is a great fitness in democracy’s going to that city of the plains, where there ts such a splen- did chance for a burial ground, beyond the possibility of contamination of air or water. I feel sure I speak the heart of Pittsburg when I welcome you to our city, and bid you by its industry and surroundings, that has made this city great, learn the road to greatness.” Then, after reviewing the history, pro- gress and growth of the prohibition move- ment, he concluded as follows: “And may God Almighty bless your com- ing, and may an Almighty God, through you, curse and blight and wither and de- stroy the legalized liquor traffic, the great- est foe to God and humanity ever invented in hell or patented on earth.” When the applause following this address had died, Chairman Dickie made a brief reply, in which he thanked Mr. Castle and the citizens of Pittsburg for the cordial treatment the representatives of the prohi- tion party had received. He Mad attended many conventions of the party. He had attended it when it was a factor of minor importance in the eyes of the older politi- cal bodies, but he thanked God that he had lived to see it beccme of such proportion that it was now recognized throughout the nation. Both speakers were frequently in- terrupted by applause. Chairman Stevens Seated. When he had finished response to the address, he said he had the honor to in- treduce the gentleman chosen to act as temporary chairman by the national com- mitte, Mr. A. A. Stevens of Pennsylvania, When he had said this, Chauncey Dunn of California arose and said he had a minority report to offer. He would present the name of E. J. Wheeler, and moved it be substituted for that of Mr. Stevens. He was told to sit down by Mr. Dickie, but refused. An uproar followed cries of “‘sit down Mr. Stevens took the chair. Mr. Dunn re- fused to sit down, and appealed from the decision of the chair. He was again told to sit down, and there was another storm of disapproval. “I'm asking Mr. Dickie to rule upon my appeal,” yelled Mr. Dunn. “We won't sub- mit to this gag rule. There were cries from all parts of the house for Mr. Dickie to come forward and make a ruling on the appeal. He came out at length, amid hisses and howls, and said that there could be no appeal taken in an unorganized body. Finally, for harmony’s sake, Mr. Wheeler withdrew his name, after the police had been caljed to eject unruly delegates. Mr. Wheeler was loudly cheered, and there were denunclatory cries against what his supporters termed outrageous gag rule. It was the first clash between the free silver and gold standard delegates on the convention floor, and the single issue crowd won. Mr. Stevens, the temporary chairman, finally succeeded in_ restoring order, and then proceeded to address the convention, He briefly reviewed the history of the pro- hibition party, telling the causes which led Lp to its organizaticn. He told of the dif- ferent conventions the party had held, and paid a eulogistic tribute to each of the presideatial candidates who in turn had born the standard of the party. In conclusion, he said the republicans would at their convention declare for tariff reform, the democrats for sound money and the populists for free silver. Each had a dominant Issue to advocate. The prohi- bition party should now come forward with its dominant Issue. It should have prohibition and none other. He was loud- ly applauded when he had finished. Recess Taken. At this point Mr. Dickie said he had neglected to name a tempcrary secretary in behalf cf the natioral éommittee. The “SPECIAL NOTICES, SPECIAL NOT.CE—DR. FRED'K F. DALEY AND Dr. Jno. A.

DIFFERENCES OF OPINION EXISTING Strong Efforts to Fasten the Guilt on Neale and Randolph. —— NO DIRECT EVIDENCE Ses The four members of the Buxton family, father and mother and two daughters, who were so mysteriously ussaulted early Mon- day morning in their home at Gaithersburg, were removed to the Garfield Hospital, in this city, yesterday afternoon, as stated in ‘The Star, and today it was reported that they were resting comfortably. The skull of Sadie, the youngest victim, has been trephined. Her condition 1s critical, but it 1s now practically certain that the other three are out of danger. The complexities in the case seem to in- creage as time wears on. The people around Gaithersburg still hold the opinion that Sid- ney Randolph, who, with George Neale, was arrested on suspicion of having com- mitted the crime, is guilty, but so far, to the calm and dispassionate observer, there ap- pears to be n» credible evidence that tends to connect him with the attempted murder. Collier Certain Randolph is Guilty. Sheriff Collier returned to Rockville yes- terday evening, after taking Neale and Ran- dciph to Baltimore and placing them in jail. The sheriff said he had talked with Randolph going over to Baltimore, and was pretty nearly convinced he was guilty. Sheriff Collier brought back the undershirt with the small blood spots on it, which Ran- dolph wore at the time of his arrest, and Deputy Sheriff Horton Thompson, who went to Baltimore to get Randolph’s shoes, re- turned on an earlier train, and declared last night that the shoes were worn, with- out any doubt, by the person who made the tracks Jeading from Neale’s house through a cornfield. It was also declared that an examination of Randolph's feet and legs, ade after he was taken to the Baltimore Jail, discovered that they were badly cut and scratched, as {f by briers, thus uphold- ing the theory eagerly propounded by the Gaithersburg people, that Randolph had taken off his shoes at the Neale house, and had then gone over to the Buxton residence, where he attempted to brain the family, and thence returned to the Neale house and put on his shoes again. ‘The cuts and scratches were supposed to have been gotten by walking over the briers and blackberry vines that thickly carpet a portion of the ground between the Buxton and Neale houses. Sure the Suspects Did It. The entire aim of the Gaithersburg peo- ple ever since the crime was committed and the two suspected men arrested seems to have been directed toward fastening the responsibility for {t on Neale and Ran- dolph, and there has been an absolute cessation of all effort to follow the case further in any other direction. They seem to have taken for granted that Randolph at least is certainly guilty and are proceed- ing on this theory to the exclusion of everything else. Sheriff Collier stated last night that the suspected men would be brought to Gai- thersburg tomorrow for preliminary trial before a justice of the peace, and he de- clared that if they were held for the grand jury they would be confined in the Rock- ville jail and he would protect them to the extent of his ability and in strict compli- ance with his sworn duty as an officer. Many Prominent Doubte: The Gaithersburg crime is far from being solved to the satisfaction of the authorities here, and State's Attorney Alexander Kil- gour of Montgomery county is by no means satisfied that the criminals are in custody. “We have strong evidence against them,” he said, “and some very suspicious cir- cumstances. But Mr. Buxton says that Neale is not the man who assaulted him, and he has known him since he was a boy.” That Randolph’s shoes fitted the tracks made across the flelds near the Buxton house amounts to little in the opinion of the police, for there are so many ebces which will make substantially the same print. Notwithstanding the conflicting opinions regarding the guilt of the prisoners the people in Montgomery county who believe them guilty are as anxious as ever to lynch them, while Sheriff Collier and State’s Attorney Kilgour, who managed to prevent a lynching, are being condemned for their action in favor of law and order. An ex-Justice Makes Threats. Ex-Justice Stonestreet said he expressed the sentiment of the people this morning when he remarked that the sheriff and state’s attorney would have at least been tarred and feathered had they remained in Rockville after the prisoners nad been removed. “Why, sir,” he sald, “it was an outrage on the people of the county that the men should have been taken from there, but the sheriff has promised that he will r turn them not later than Thursday righi. This information the ex-justice volun- teered when he called at police headquar- ters here this morning; “and,” he added, “they will never get another vote in the county.” In conversation with a Star reporter, he said, while he was not positive that the men in custody are the criminals, circum- stances are mighty suspicious. So far as Neale is concerned, the ex-justice thought he should have been executed when he was arrested ten years ago for rape. Kilgour Wants More Investigation. Later in the morning State’s Attorney Kilgour called at police headquarters to have a talk with the authorities. He is by no means satisfied that the guilty men are in custody, and favors a further investiga- tion of the case. As already stated, he thinks he has a good case of suspicion, and says he can present what he has to a jury, but at the same time he thinks the county should offer a reward for the apprehension of the criminals. This would renew the in- vestigation, and might result in the cap- ture of the guilty ones. The county com- missioners, he said, have been in session for three days, and he has urged upon them the necessity of offering a reward. “A heinous crime has been committed,” he said, “and the guilty parties certainly should be apprehended and punished. We have two men in jail, and they will keep. Let the investigation go on, and if it is shown that others, and not these men, committed the crime, then they should be brought to justice.” Buxton Clears Neale. He said that Buxton has said that Neale did not assault him, for he has known him all his life. Buxton has not seen Ran- dolph, but the latter will probably be brought here from the Baltimore jail and taken to the hospital this evening. In con- nection with the shoe prints and Ran- dolph’s shoes fitting them. Mr.Kilgour said he had been told that when Randolph's shoes were removed it was found that his feet were filled with briers. This, how- ever, he said was only hearsay. Washington Detectives Handicapped. When the state’s attorney called upon Inspector Hollinberger the case was thor- oughly discussed in all its phases, and the inspector assured the Maryland oflicers that his men would render all the assistance in their power. Detectives Horne and Weedon did not return to Gaithersburg today, as they thought, with the feeling prevailing there, they would be unable to accomplish much. ‘They had not been permitted to see Mr. Buxton or his wife, when newspaper men were admitted to the house, and this, of course, deprived them of some of the most important facts in connection with the crime, They, however, were permitted to see the injured ones put on the train yes- terday, when they heard the loud groans of Mr. Buxton, whose injuries are not near so serious as are those of other members of the family.

She had not been given an oppurtunity to see her grandson, but her story was precisely the same as that told by him when he was placed under arrest. | He had been promised some money to take him to the Whitsuntide picnic at Boyd's station, where he was going to play base ball. Some of the country people had favored the old grandmother’s arrest, but some friends tuok her part and she was permit- ted to remain at home. She was questioned rather closely about the buttons in the stove, and she ex- plained this in the way heretofore ex- plained. One of the boys had cut his head, and an old garment that had been used as a bandage had been stripped of its buttons and these were put in the stove. Could Not Have Been the Bunét. This bullet, the officers think, could not have gone through the hand and leg of Randolph, although it is now contended by some of the country people that Mr. Bux- ton shot Randolph in the house, and that he was not shot in the field when he made an effort to evade the posse of cltizens,who were on horseback. The ax with which the members of the Buxton family were supposed to have been injured ‘s being held by a friend of the family for Mr. Easton, brother-in-law of Buxton. Detectives Horne and Weedon think it weighs about five pounds, while State’s Attorney Kilgour said he thought it weighed as much as seven pounds. It is surprising that so heavy an instru- ment did not do more damage, especially if it were wielded by so able-bodied a col- ored man as either Randolph or Neale. Looking for Clues. The police here feel reasonably sure that the colored men now in the Baltimore jail are innocent of this crime, and so far as Neale is concerned, Buxton bears them out. But until he sees Randolph it is not known what he will have to say about him. If Neale did not have a hand in the crime, and, as already stated, the police think he did not, then the murderer must be at large, unless something develops to fasten the crime upon Randolph, which they think is not likely. But the police say there must have been @ motive for the crime, but what motiv there could -have been on the part of any one has not fully develcped. It could hardly have been murder, they say, for any strong man with an ax could have caused the death of every one who was struck, and without much trouble. In the Cocking tragedy, in Charles county, a small hatch- et was used, and any one of the blows would have caused death, for the instru- ment in that case, although much smaller than that used in the Buxton affair, pene- trated the brain at each blow. This, the police think, disposes of the murder theory, Another motive migat have been to fel- oniously assault one of the females, but even this was not attempted. This brings it down to a mercenary motive, so the po- lice think, and if the house was entered with burglarious intent, it was done by a siranger, for Neale, they think, must have known that there was not money enough = the house to have justified his entering it. Just what the detectives think of the case they will not state, but it is stated that the detectives will return to Gaithers- burg tonight, and there may be some addi- tional arrests made. People in the county are making a more thorough search for the coat supposed to have been worn by Randolph, and if found it may prove of valuable assistance in the investigation. ‘This afternoon State's Attorney Kilgour and Detective Horne called on Dr. J. Ford Thompson and icarned from him that the two Buxton children are doing remarkably well. They are, of course, seriously in- jured, but the doctor thinks that Mr. Bux- ton’s injuries are very slight, and his wife is not dangerously wounded. The children were operated upon and both operations were successful. If they continue to do well for a few days as they are doing tcday both may recover. Several wheelmen from this city who were in the vicinity of Gaithersburg Sun- day afternoon are reported to have seen two suspiclous-looking colored men, and it may be that some of them will be able to identify them. If so, the Maryland people hepe to connect Neale and Randolph by some one who saw them together Sunday evening. The state’s attorney saw several of the wheelmen this afternoon, but he thinks he will be unable to get any infor- mation of value from them.
