PORTLAND, June 22.-Colonel Rich

body this afternoon and told him he

delegations dominate the convention now
In session, and these Northwestern dele
gates are almost a unit in favor Of the
election of Colonel Richardson to the
presidency.
President Moore, 1t is said by arbitrary

incumbent expects to face friendly

business called for the election OF Off

I'VE will pass the election OF officers

motion the question was put to vote and
a few voices voted aye for postponement.
A roar of noes followed, but the president
declared the motion carried.
In moment pandemonium broke loose.
Nearly every delegate in the house was
on his feet. Frail chairs gave way under
the unusual strain as heavy men leaped
upon them in the effort TO gain the pre-
siding officers eye. Finally Colonel Rich
ardson was recognized and entered an
earnest protest
President Moore attempted to interrupt
the speaker, but was forced to let him

Senator Mann of Maine poured oil on

The fight will be renewed again to-

Sensational Evidence Is Given by Judge
Tanner During the Trial of the
Land Fraud Case

PORTLAND, June 22.-On the day that
marked the SEVENTEEN milestone Of his
journey through life, his face blanched
until the blue veins stood out across his
temple; with beads of perspiration glis-
tening on his forehead, with hands clasp
ing and unclasping along the side Of the
table at which he sat, John H. Mitchell,
senior United States Senator from Ore
gon, to-day listened to the testimony of
Judge Tanner, his lifelong friend and law
partner.
Judge Tanner was not less white or less
agitated and throughout his testimony
his words came hesitatingly and falter-
ingly and SO low that the ticking of the
courtroom clock was audible throughout
the hour or more that it took to give his
testimony.
When court adjourned for the day
Judge Tanner was still on the stand.
The morning session was devoid of in

chronological introduction of document

NEW YORK. June 22.-After a two
days sOJourn in Massachusetts, Presi-
dent Roosevelt tonight left Jersey City
at SIS o'clock for Washington. The
Presidents train arrived at the Mott
Haven yards of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad at GAS
and was switched TO the transfer boat

later for Jersey City. At Jersey City

be was accorded throughout the trip
an enthusiastic welcome in all cities
and towns he visited in Massachusetts
and Connecticut. He was accorded dis
tinguished honors and given evidence
Of regard by large educational instttu-
tions
Despite the tremendous electrical
storm which swept over Massachuset
and Connecticut this afternoon, the
Presidents journey from Williams
town TO Jersey City was a prolonged
ovation. After leaving Williamstown
the special train stopped at North
Adams. Adams, Pittsfield. Brookfield
junction. Danbury and South Norfolk.
The crowds assembled at these places
aggregated many thousands, those at
North Adams, Pittsfield and Danbury
being notably large. At North Adams,
the home OF Congressman Lawrence,
the President left the train for a few
minutes and addressed a great crowd
Of people from a stand erected near the
station. He was introduced by the
Mayor of the city and addressed him
self particularly 10 the children. The
schools had been dismissed and all the
factories Of the city had shut down in
order that all citizens might join in
the welcome to the President. Senator
Crane of Massachusetts and Represen-
tative Lawrence left the train at Pitts
field. the President being joined there
by President Mellen of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad, who
accompanied him as far as Danbury-
What constituted a picturesque fea-
ture of all the greetings extended the
President during to-day was the total
disregard of the throngs of people for
the heavily falling rain, and hundreds
were drenched as they listened to the
President speak.
The Presidents train is scheduled to
reach the national capital at a. m.
The President expects on arrival in
Washington 10 go directly TO the

days President Roosevelt has been free

gotiations for peace in the Far East
during his absence. Since he left the
White House he has received no news
