ILLINOHL 12 ME FOR TftFI PRESIDENT OA IN 8 CONTESTED DELEGATES FROM INDIANA- MAKING 84 TO DATE. INCIDENTS BEFORE THE BIG REPUBLICAN CONTEST IN, THE COLISEUM AT CHICAGO DECORATING FOR THE REPUBLICANS Chicago, June 10.--The chief duty of the Chicago hotel clerk Ju6t now is to point out the political celebrities. It has been necessary to describe big men of the convention for persons seeking them BO many times that John Burk, head clerk of the Annex, can give finest identifying details of attire | and "build of a statesman in a mo- I ment. i A great part of the population of the COMMITTEE SESSION STORMY j ?™>° e ' I 6napshotters were in an arc about Sen­ ator J.

Of the two cases of mis- The committee also seated the Taft delegates from the First, Third, Fourth and Thirteenth districts-- eight in all--a total of twelve for the day, against none for Roosevelt. In the First district fight the vote was unanimous, the Roosevelt men joining with the Taft members of the committee. In the Third district there was a smattering of ualdentified "noes" in the viva voce'ballot, but no roll call was asked. In the Fourth the Roose­ velt contest was withdrawn and the Taft men were seated unanimously. In the Thirteenth there was a real fight, but the Taft men were seated by a vote of 36 to 14. This contest also required more than two hours for its hearing, because of a battle over the presentation of 71 affidavits by the Roosevelt men. Rv a vote of 20 to 30 the committee refused to permit them to be admitted, because they had not made their appearance soon enough for their examination by the Taft men. Despite this vote the committee directed that the affidavits be read. This makes 84 contested delegates al­ ready seated for Taft. taken identity one was A. B. Butler of Washington, a Taft camp aid. It is said the other was a Boston linen salesman. He did not deny he was Senator Dixon, and posed graciously with and without his hat and facing in different advantageous angles. A New One From Texas. Col. Cecil Lyon of the Texas dele­ gation, and an irrespressible supporter of Roosevelt, had a new story to tell to take the place of his old one about the cataclysm in Yoakum county, Tex­ as, where a Democratic county conven­ tion instructed for Roosevelt, causing Wilson supporters to bolt. "I was walking down the street with Charles Hilles in Washington the other day," began Colonel Lyon, after some one haa said President Taft's secretary had arrived at the Black- stone hotel. "A small delivery wagon passed," the colonel continued. "I looked up and saw four large volumes stacked on top with the titles facing us. Three of the books were reports of the Re­ publican conventions of 1900, 1904 and The Indiana delegates-at-large thus I 1908. The fourth was Problems of the Day,' by William H. Taft. I di-conflrmed are Col. Harry S New and ex-Vice-President Charles W. Fair­ banks of Indianapolis, ex-Representa­ tive James E. Watson of Rushville and Joseph E. Oliver of South Bend. The defeated contestants are ex-Sen­ ator Albert J. Beveridge of Indianap­ olis, Edwin M. Lee of Lawrenceburg, ex-Representative Fred K. Landis of Logansport and Charles H. Campbell of Shelbyville. The Taft forces now figure that on roll call the temporary organization of the Republican national convention will disclose 560 votes for William H. Taft. This is a margin of exactly 20 above a majority. On the other hancl, friends of Roose­ velt are claiming that in spite of the domination of the national committee by the Taft forces with its corrollary of a Taft majority in the temporary roll call that T. R. will control the committee on credentials. FIRE ON U. S. MARINES €ubane Repulsed After Engagement- American Warships Enter Havana Harbor. Santiago, Cuba, June 12.--A com­ pany of United States marines, com­ manded by Capt. Edward B. Manwar- ing, engaged in guarding El Cuero mines, was attacked Monday by a force of insurgents, who were repulsed after considerable firing. Havana, June 12--The United States armored cruiser Washington entered Havana harbor and exchanged salutes with the fortress of Cabana. Fifteen minutes later the battleship Rhode Island passed into the harbor. 8 MURDERED IN IOWA HOME Four Children Killed With Parents and Two Young Girl Visitors. Vlllisca, la., June 12.--With the brutal murder of eight'persons, found dead in their beds, an entire family was wiped out of existence here Mon­ day. The dead: Joseph B. Moore, Mrs. Joseph B. Moore, Herman Moore, eleven years old; Catherine Moore, nine years old; Boyd Moore, seven years old; Paul Moore, six years old; Lena Splllinger, aged fourteen; Ina Spillinger, aged nine. Legislate General Wood Out. Washington, June 12.--By the nar­ row margin of three votes the friends of Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the United States army, Monday lost the fight in the senate to prevent legislatibn that will retire him from the head of the army on March 4 next and make it impossible for him to again be appointed to that important office. .

None were lost. rected .Mr. Hilles' attention to the load of books. He seemed offended." Borah's Bushy Hair. Senator Borah of Idaho is one of the few big men of the convention who Cannot be called picturesque, unless his bushy hair entitles him to that de­ scription. It is said his only reason for wearing so much hair is to con­ ceal a bad scar on the back of his head received in an accident in his youth. Mr. Borah, like Jonah K. Kalanla- naole, Hawaiian delegate, has a round, chubby, Buster Brown type of physl- ognamy. His dignity, however, Is such that none would think of calling him "Cupid"--and that is the brown skinned Islander's nickname in con­ gress. Has His Name on $5 Bill. A southern delegate was much ex­ cited over the appearance of a tall negro at the Coliseum annex who figured in several conferences. "Have you a $5 bill?" asked a friend. When the currency was produced the friend called attention to the sig­ nature of the registrar of th^ treasury, Judson Lyon. "That same dark person over there is Judson Lyon, delegate from Geor­ gia," was the explanation. Urey Woodson's 8tory. Urey WoodBon, secretary of the Democratic national committee, is tell­ ing a story which has what he claims is a moral. "You Republicans," says Mr. Wood­ son, "remind me of old Colonel Qun- flre, who, although a Democrat, lived in a stronghold of Republicanism. One winter he blew In and asked to be sworn in as a member of the Demo­ cratic legislature. "Colonel, did you sure enough beat a Republican?" "Suh, I beat three of 'em at once." "Now that is what we are going to do in less numbers. Get together and scrap, but after it Is over watch us Democrats beat two of you, Taft and Teddy, all at once." Want Sherman Renominated. Former Governor Franklin Murphy of New Jersey took his seat with the national committee minus the vice- presidential boom which he had with him four years ago. This year Mr. Murphy is singing the praises of Vice- President Sherman for another term "I know that custom is against re­ nominating a vice-president," he said, "but there is a strong current in favor of renominating Vice-President Sher­ man. It will probably be an eastern man and all the gossip I have heard has been for Sherman." Mr. Murphy added that the "vioe- presidentlal bee" has ceased to buzz In his direction. A group of out-of-town newspaper representatives were on the point of making an enumeration in the vicin­ ity of the Coliseum of emergency cafes for reference in times of busy sessions. "Col. Cecil Lyon has lust put through a motion making newspaper men guests at a cafe service to be Installed in headquarters at once," said a committeeman who left the ses­ sion before adjournment. Colonel Lyon was proposed for dark horse candidate--immediately and unanimously. King of Greece to Abdicate. Athens, June 12.--King George will abdicate in favor of the cjyjwn prince In 1913, when he will have completed a reign of 50 years. This announce­ ment was made on the return of the ktng from Copenhagen. V Good Nature the Rule. Good nature is the rule among all of the national committeemen and dele­ gates. None is too harassed by puz­ zling political entanglements to deny any one a smile and handshake. "An old -crab has lots of luck in this game--I don't think!" laughed Senator Dixon, Roosevelt's manager, after he had passed out a dozen pulsat­ ing hand grasps. Then he walked over to former Senator Dick--Taft contest director--in the lobby of na­ tional committee headquarters at the Coliseum annex and slapped him on the back. '"Lo," said Mr, Dixon. "Right back at you, senator," smiled Mr. Dick. Those who were near the two chiefs of the hostile camps could hear a boy­ ish "Joe" and "Charley" being ex­ changed at times. They were like old college chutes. Friendly eye twinkling scenes between chiefs and lieutenants and subalterns of the opposing forces were common. On® noteworthy meeting that start­ ed amicably and ended in a torrid ar­ gument was between Joseph Kealing of Indiana and Congressman Lucius C. Llttauer of New York. Importance of the Bell Boys. The belj boys of the big hotels have been pressed Into service for all sorts of duties. They not only carry Ice water and life preservers to the vari­ ous headquarters and rooms of dele­ gates, but also Berve in the capacity of page, "state house messenger," marshal of delegations, office boy, in­ troducer, and general headquarters at­ tache. There are hundreds of different doc­ uments to be exchanged between head­ quarters, with verbal explanations to go to the men in charge. "Here's the list of delegates from Alabama with the Twenty-third dis­ trict left out," a delegation chief ex­ plains to the boy in buttons. "Take it up to Senator Blank with my com­ pliments, and Inform him I will Bend the rest to him in half an hour." When a hop was dispatched with a copy of the recommendations of the rules committee, to be submitted to the national committee, a senator re­ marked: "That young man has a mission of more widespread Influence than that of any other boy In America." "Whoo-ee," sighed a bell boy. He was counting change. "Nine hours on the hop and only $1.60 in tips. I am going to vote the Democratic ticket straight." Teddy's Bulldog. When the Roosevelt press bureau arrived from Washington they brought with them a new campaign song, which is causing a smile even among the Taft delegations. It Is to the tune of "Casey Jones." Teddy's gotta dawg, but he aint no hound, He's a square jawed bull, and his face is round, Ills legs is chort, and he's close to the ground, And you bet they ain't kickin' Teddy's dawg around. CHORUS. Square jawed bull, and his face is round, Squared jawed bull, and his face is hound, Short legged bull, close to the ground. And you bet they ain't kickin' Teddy's bull around. 'fhe Democratic dawg, the unlucky hound That the boys have all been kickin' around Is the same old dawg that's been stick- In' roun' Since old Abe Lincoln came to Wash­ ington town. And now he comes back, the measley hound. With his face and his tall still hangin' down, The hungry, sly old lop eared hound, No wonder the boys have been kickin' round. All Taft Types. It has been noticed that a great part of the delegates that have arrived are robust men. "All Taft types," com­ mented an admirer of the president Chief among the heavyweights Is A. M. Stevenson, Colorado national com­ mitteeman, who hails from Denver. Mr. Stevenson weighs more than 300 pounds. Delegation From Hawaii. Seated in a corner of the Pompelian room at the Congress hotel was a lit­ tle party composed of the Hawaiian delegation. Prince Kalanionaole, gen­ erally called "Prince Cupid," and C. A. Rice, delegates from the island; H. L. Holstein, national committeeman; A. Horner, secretary to the delegation, and Colonel S. Parker, the "Mark Han- na of Hawaii," made up the party. "It can't be all work and no play," said the prince. Since a Roosevelt delegation came into the Congress singing a parody on the "Houn' Dog," Taft supporters have begun to put themselves in practice for the campaign yells. Short, long, loud and sharp, they come In all varieties. Some are for use before and some after the nomi­ nation. A mourning song is being written, bemoaning the fate of "Ted­ dy," and several in jubilation, in an­ ticipation of the success of Taft. A farewell yell will be put in use later. The last line tells the whole Btory. "We're going home, we're broke." Queen of Sweden in Airship Trip.

Colonel Lyon of TexaB asked Mrs. Lyon to pose for newspaper photog­ raphers. She did it with reluctance and after it was all over the colonei said softly, with a wink at the report­ ers: "Dear, don't let those fellows know you are a bride." The colonel and Mrs. Lyon have been married several years and have one presidential possibility. "I like to kid her, you see," ex­ plained the colonel, "but she knows a joke when she sees it. By the way, that girl can mix the b%st mint julep in the world, but wouldn't drink one. Along the same policy She says she will move out of any state that ever goes prohibition. One day while she was visiting in Colorado she read in the pap«r that I was going to change my politics. She immediately wrote me that If I did that it was up to me, but that she and the maid and the rook And the men on the ranch would all be 'agin' me, and quietly hinted that the best thing I could do was to vote for Teddy as lonf as I live." mm TAFT SECURES 48 HIEF EXECUTIVE IS AWARDED CONTE8T8 FROM ARKAN8AS, FLORIDA AND GEORGIA.

PRESIDENT GOMEZ OF CUBA WARNED BY U. S. OF PROB­ ABLE INTERVENTION. MUST SUPPRESS REBELLION General Wood Orders Transports In Readiness to Take American Army to Island--Posts That Will Take Part in Demonstration. Washington, June 10.--The govern­ ment has ordered 4,000 troops to hold themselves In instant readiness for a movement on Cuba. This followed a note to President Gomez, on Friday, stating that the United States will be compelled to Intervene unless he is able to immediately suppress the in­ surrection. General Wood immediately ordered four transports to be coaled and pro­ visioned for the voyage.

Inti­ mating a dangerous la?k of activity If not of sincerity on the part of the Cuban president. Minister Beaupre reports that the negro insurrectos attacked the Toledo sugar mill only six miles from Ha­ vana. ^ Colonel Acca, who was appointed chief of the secret police In Havana by President Gomez, was arrested for treason.

Chief Justice White defined the powers or the commerce court in the cases decided, declaring in effect that the commerce court could not sub­ stitute its own oplQion for that of the Interstate commerce commission and that the court has taken to itself pow­ ers not conferred by law. Chicago, June 11.--The Republican itional committee turned forty-eight .southern delegates into the "certain for Taft column" on Saturday in its decisions upon contests from Arkan­ sas, Florida and Georgia. This brings !ie total accretion In the sessions of Friday and Saturday up to 72, while none has been added to the Roosevelt Hat. Ten of the Georgia districts--20 delegates--went to Taft in one blanket decision, both sides agreeing to their being decided upon the same argu­ ments. The four delegates-at-large from the state also were given to Tafi along with the two remaining district with two delegates apiece. Twelve delegates from Florida an< eight from Arkansas were given t< Taft in addition to the Georgia dele­ gates. So far every Taft delegate who has faced a contest has been placed on the convention temporary roll, and in practically every case this haa been done with the Roosevelt com­ mitteemen's consent. The cases passed upon were: Arkansas--Third, Fourth, Fifth and Seventh districts. Eight delegates to Taft. Florida--Six delcgates-at-large and three districts. Twelve delegates to Taft. Georgia -- Four delegates-at-large and all of the twelve districts* Twen­ ty-eight delegates to Taft. Southern politics was given a public airlQg before the committee. Starting with the last three districts of Ar­ kansas, the committee went through that state and then listened to Flori­ da and Georgia's political woes. In these last two states all of the Taft delegates had been contested by the Rooseveltians. Full bearing was given every case and only in one instance did the Roosevelt leaders ask for a test of strength. They lost by a vote of 41 to 10. In the Fifth Arkansas district, where charges of violence and fraud were made by both sides, Committee­ man Burman of Kentucky asked that both delegates be seated with half a vote each. He lost by the above vote. On this roll call, Du Pont of Dela­ ware, who had heretofore voted with ttye Roosevelt people, switched to the Taft contingent. 23 SINK IN SUBMARINE FAILURE HITS THIRTY BANKS Liberty Tower Building, In New York.
