According to an announcement from the county attorney tonight, Spanne 11, who surendered himself immediately after the shooting, refused to discuss his ease arid a thorough investigation disclosed no apparent reason for the killintr. The shooting caused much excitement beeause of the prominence of the Scannell Mmi ly and of Col. Butler.

Spannen, who was held over night in the eounty jail, was taken today to another town, the name of which was not re vealed, for safe keeping.

He calmly emptied both fire arms into the bodies of the victims, according to witnesses, and then without haste, walked to the courthouse and gave him- self up.

He persisted, however, in his refusal to discuss his reasons for the shooting. Spannell, who is thirty years old, is a native of Hazelton, where his parents still live.

The Mexican outline of subjects to be discussed by the conimissionere contains no new proposals except that the origin of the border raids be investigated. It is recoiled that General Carronza's first dication Of hostility took the form of a note suggesting disrussion of the withdrawal of the Amerlean forces and that the state depeartment was preparing V) discuss the xubject when a wave of anti-American demonstrations in northern Nlexieo. neW bonier raids and the Cardzal dash. brought the situation to a Sinister Influences.

Secretary Lansing and other offieials have made no secret of their belief that sinister influences have been striving persistently toward that eni. President Wilson has repeatedly referred to these influent-es in public utterances. There is no reason to believe that the United States would not welcome an lavegtigation of the origin of the border raids, such as now has been proposed by General Carranzo.

It has been nuggested that ttential candidates had withdrawn. Mr. Hanly's nomination came on the first ballot and followed a number of hurried conferences between advocates of the candidacy of William Sulzer, former governor of New York, and several brief demonetrations in the latter's behalf.

Mr. Han ly received 440 votes as against 181 for Mr. Sulzer. Finley C. Hendrickson, of Cumberland, received 51 votes: James Gilbert Mason, of New Jersey, 10; W.

P. F. Ferguson, of Pennsylvania. Sumner W. Haynes, Indiana, 2, and henry lord, Detroit, 1.

A motion to make Mr. Hanly's nomination unanimous was defeated when objections were offered by Eugene Chafin, rt Arizona, and a score of other delegates. After the nomination of Dr. Landrith the assembly arose, sang the Doi logY, and ended a 6-hour session, marking the close of the 3-day convention. The party platform with but one change in the draft presented by the resolutions committeethe insertion of a plank declaring in favor of the initiative, the referendum and the recall watt adopted early in the day's session.

The delegates were in a cheerful mood hen the time for nominating speeches grew near, and as Sumner W. Haynes, ef Indiana, concluded his speech nomlvating Mr. Han ly, after announcing his own withdrawal from the race, the Indiaes delegation marebed to the platform, shouting and singing. Other state delegations followed and a procession soon extended half way around the hall. Hats, coats and banners were hurled in the air during the twelve minute demonstration.

Chairman Robert Patton, of Springfield, then recognized Eugene Chatin, who nominated Mr. Sulzer. A four-minute demonstration followed. Several speakers asserted that Sulzer's nomination would mean the election of a prohibition President and abolition of intoxicating liquors in this country. Sulzer 'forties made numerous efforts to evoke a popular demonstration but each time were howled down by the Hanly adherents.

The turning point in the proceedings in the opinion of Sulzer leaders, came during the nominating speeches when the New York.delegation announced that it 1 was ready to "stand as a. unit behind the convention nominee." Francis E. Baldwin, of the New York' Je legation. arose and seconded the nom1-1 nntion of Mr. Han ly.
