Chairs were used for wea pons and pistols ware flourished. The combat began when the district committee controlled by the Massey adherent a. named Adam S. Bowman for convention chairman. When Bowman mounted tha platform, a surging mob of Sells protagonists advanced to tha front of tba convention hall and attempted to sweep him out of ths place. Wielding chairs, a phalanx of Bells men beat Bowman about tha head, then they drew pistols as friends of Massey resisted ejection of Bowman. Bowman stuck to his post while blood streamed from wounds In his head, he shouted for "order." Hoots and cat calls drowned his voice. In tba midst of the fighting, Mr. Sells appeared and brought about a semblance of order. Clark's Friends Claim Oklahoma Delegates OKLAHOMA CTTT. Okl..

Tha report, which Is signed by all tha members of the conuntttao, re publicans as well aa democrats, makes no recommendation whatever as to how tha alleged trust and those reeponelbll for It shall be dealt with, suggesting that this phase at tha situation Is oaa U be handled by a standing aonunittaa of tha house, An to tha affsot of tha combine ot tha cost of sugar to tha consumer, the committee expresses tha belief that monopoly keeps tha prioe up, but makes no attempt to fix accurately tha extent to which reasonable prices that might exist under oompetitlve condltlona art exceeded. Tha report severely condemns th original promoters of tha sugar trust but describes tha It. 000 present ownert of tha stock ot tha American Sugar Ra fining company as "Innocent purchasers" of profitable stock which was unloaded on them by tha tew men who organised tha sugar trust. Henry O.
