Cattle and Sheep Men Agree on
Plan of Settlement.
, TO ENLARGE GRAZING LANDS.
iResohtlon Adopted at Live Stock
Convention That Committee of Ex
perts Shall Inspect Conditions and
Advise Springer' * Report.
Kansas City , Jan. 16. The National
.Live Stock association , by a rising
t Tote , adopted a resolution endorsing
President Roosevelt's suggestion that
.congress appoint a commission of experts -
perts to settle the range problem ,
\ , .which . for years has been a bono of
contention between cattle and sheep
men. The resolution had already been
favorably passed upon by the execu
tive committee as a substitute for a
resolution presented by A. It. Robert
son of Texas , which favored the leas
ing of public lauds for grazing.
The question was opened by the
reading of a paper by Colonel John P.
Irish of California in line with the
resolution. Colonel Irish was unable
to bo present and the paper was read
'by the secretary. A lively discussion
followed. B. Harris , a member of the
executive committee from Iowa , talked
fit length in opposition to the resolu
tion. Ho argued that this question ,
; which was of the greatest importance
to the farmers of the west and middle
"west , was being manipulated. The
t&upportcrs of the resolution , ho as-
-.Bcrted , were juggling with President
Hoosovelt's name In order to curry
favor. Mr. Harris gave a history of
the discussion of the question at pre
vious conventions and said that the
[ supporters of the resolution had al
ways evaded the issue until now ,
when they had a distinct majority. Ho
advised against action on the question
at this time.
\ Jerry Simpson , former congressman
from Kansas and now from Roswell ,
N. M. , ridiculed the stand taken by
Harris , and favored the resolution , as
did also Delegates Williams of West
( Virginia and GeKolder of Nebraska.
Then , upon the motion of John D. Da-
rid of Idaho , the discussion was
closed. When the resolution was put
to a vote It was carried by a large ma
jority , the delegates rising In their
Beats.
Later Senator Francis B. Warren of
"Wyoming , president of the National
Wool Growers' association , In a
speech , endorsed the resolution and
complimented the convention upon its
passage. He said congress , the presi
dent and the secretary of the interior
; were anxious to do something on the
public domain question.
Another important resolution adopt
ed asks congress to give the secretary
of agriculture power to order the dis
infection of Imported skins and hides
at the different ports of enUry.
Other resolutions favor a 15-cent
'duty on pelts , pickled hides and skins ,
which are dutiable because they are
partly manufactured , and endorse the
proposed llvo stock exhibition at the.
St. Louis exposition.
Judge William M. Springer , general
counsel for the association , In his re
port , said that the moat Important
legislation of the year affecting the
live stock industry was the passage of
the oleomargarine law. He said that
it was the general impression that the
oleomargarine business had been In
jured by this law , but that such was
not the fact , and that the output had
increased since the passage of the
measure. Judge Springer said that
the chances of the passage by the
present congress of the Grosvenor
anti-shoddy bill was very remote and
suggested that the llvo stock associa
tion should solicit the cooperation of
the newspapers of the country that the
people might be enlightened relative
to the adulteration of woolen goods.
Speaking of the forty-hour unloading
bill , Judge Springer ssld that some re
cent opposition had developed from
the packing houses at Chicago , which
allege that the operation of the law
would be injurious to beef cattle.
Before adjournment for the day was
taken a new executive committee waa
named.

OLD FEUD ENDS IN TRAGEDY ,
Gonzales , the Victim ) la In Critical
Condition Wildest Excitement Pre
vails In South Carolina Capital.
Editorials Had Offended Tlllman.
Columbia , S. C. , Jan. 11' . . NnrclBHO
Honor Uonzules , editor of the State , Is
at the Columbia hospital in a critical
condition from a plHtol wound In 111 at-
ud by James II. Tlllmau , lieutenant
Kovoinor of South Carolina , und a
nephew of United States Senator Ben-
Juniln R. Tlllman.
The shooting occurred at Main und
Gorvnls Directs , In lull vlow of tub
state capital , the most frequented
corner In Columbia.
It WUB just a few moments bcforo 2
o'clock when the cry was passed
along the strouU that "Jim Tlllman
has shot N. G. Gonzules. " It took but
a few moment ! ) for a great throng ( o
assemble In front of the newspaper
ol'.ku. The excitement and Indlgna
lion on the streets was intense.
Mr. Gonzales was taken to the ofllco
of the State , whoru physicians pro
nounced his wound probably fatal.
Tlllman was arrested and taken to
police headquarters , whore ho , wan re
lieved of two pistols the one with
which ho shot Gouzalus mid a largo
revolver of thlrty-oight caliber. From
the police station ho was taken to the
county jail , where he Is under protec
tion of the officers.
The only attributed cause for the
shooting is that during the recent
primary election Gonzales bitterly op
posed Lieutenant Governor Tlllman In
his race for governor.
During the spring of that campaign ,
Gonzales , In his fight to defeat Till-
man , had editorially called him a de
bauchee and blackguard and had de
nounced him as a "criminal candi
date , " and o "proven liar. " This and
other such editorials are supposed to
have goaded Tillmun to shoot Gon-
cales.
It Is rumored that the Immediate
cause of the attack was a message
sent Wednesday by Gonzales to Tlll
man. Wednesday night , at the Co
lumbia hotel , Lieutenant Governor
Tillman said to a group of his friends :
"Gonzales has sent me word that when
we meet again wo Hhall settle our diffi
culties with pistols. "
Gonzales friends deny that ho sent a
message of any character to Tlllman.
Statements of eye-witnesses to the
tragedy are somewhat conflicting , and
it cannot bo stated positively whether
or not any words passed between tlio
men before the shot was fired.
