ed. Twenty-Five seats in the conven
ton were involved After a compare
lively short time for arguments the
committee sustained the action that
had been taken by the national COM
mlttee in that case. A test vote was
had, however, showing that of the men
who were in the room when a division
was had the Taft forces were support
ed by 81 votes against z. At no time
during the long nights session was
there any other test of strength, but
the members of the committee favor
able to the ''allies'' said they were out
numbered 4 to 1. The action that was
taken in case after case, indicated that
the estimate was not far from correct.
Sweeping through the contests from
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee
and Texas, the Taft delegations were
seated without a break. The contests
from all other states had been with
drawn. Before the night was half over
it was plain to every one that the
allies would not succeed in overturn-
ing a single decision which had been
made by the national committee.
Reporters Invited In.
When Texas was reached, Chairman
Fulton invited the members of the
press into the committee room that
they might listen to the argument made
by Colonel Cecil A. Lyon, national COM
mitteeman from Texas. an Intimate
friend and frequent host of President
Roosevelt. Colonel Lyon is not a law
yer, but in a picturesque and forceful
maner he advocated the cause of the
Taft delegation, involving So seats-ths
whole state delegation. He was opposed
by A. N Sager of st. Louis. The result
was the same as IN all Of the preceding
cases.
After the committee had adjourned
Mr.. Fulton and Representative Fassett
asserted that the cases of the "all1es"
were weak in every particular and
could not have been decided otherwise
than as they were. Both Of these gen.
tlemen said that the charge that the
national committee was prejudiced In
favor of Secretary Taft had been re-
futed and the committee finally fully
indicated. Mr. Fulton announced that
he would not draw the report of the
committee, until he had slept. It was
not his intention he said, to enter upon
any discussion of the merits Of the
cases or into any defense of the ma
tiona1 committee; but If necessity arose
for such a defense he would make it on
the floor of the convention He ex
pressed the opinion that after the dis
satisfied members of the minority had
had the opportunity to sleep for few
hours over the question they would
change their minds on the subject of
presenting a minority report.

light in the east was beginning to sig

man looked decidedly different than

throughout the fourteen hours session

volving 10 seats had merit. but they
were railroaded out of the hall with
out examination of the evidence in
their support of the committee. The
arguments were not listened to at all
and the Taft men adopted rules, which
absolutely excluded members of the
committee from participating in the
debate

Bookwalter felt with the procedure of
the committee manifested itself the
moment the meeting was called to or

Senator Charles w. Fulton of
Oregon, having been elected chair
man, stated that 2, 200 persons in the
convention awaited the roll of the
credentials committee. This was an
argument in favor of a plan to adopt
the report Of the national committee
without hearing any of the contests,

reply that there are ninety million

Committee Then Adjourned With
Several Points Unsettled

Chicago, June 1.-THE resolutions
subcommittee adjourned for the night
at 1920. At that time practically the
entire platform had been gone over
and most of the planks except those
relating to injunctions and the admis-
sion of the territories had been passed
upon. These included the railroad,
banking and currency, savings banks,
pensions, Philippines, Cuba. negroes
and others. The negro and savings
banks resolutions were both modified
cOnSidera bly,, as were most of the
others. There were two or three di-
visions and in each case the vote
stood to in favor of the adminiStra-
ton policies. The declaration for the
admission of New Mexico and Arizona
as separate states was passed over
after a discussion indicating the prob
ability of adverse action, and the in
junction question was postponed until
10 o'clock today

of Kansas who made the mo-
ton during the first session of
the resolutions committee for the ap-
pointment Of subcommittee to con-
sist of 13 members and who was the
first member appointed by Senator
Hopkins, chairman, said in discussing
the platform:
Il am going to do everything possible
to make a platform in line with Roose-
welt and Taft and especially as shown
by the latter in his speeches preceding
this convention. I do not expect we
shall make a platform satisfactory to
the extremists on either side, but do
believe it will be satisfactory to the
great body of Republicans and that
they will endorse It,"
Senator Long had particular refer
ence to the much discussed injunction
question. He stated it was his belief
that this plank would merely declare
against summary action by courts,
without recommending anything that
would lessen the dignity and preroga-

to Mr.. Bookwalter's comment, he
said:
We'll. suppose we will have to let

mot molasses but vitrol," retorted
Mr.. Bookwalter, sharply.
The colloquy between these men is
an illustration of the bitterness of feel
ing which frequently was shown by
both Taft and anti-Taft adherents. The
statement was made by Mr.. Bookwal-
ter that the minority report would be
signed by fully a half dozen members
of the committee and that in all pro-
liability it's adoption would be advoca-
ted by Senator Gallinger and himself.
When the committee met and organ
lied, Chairman Fulton was empower
ed to appoint a committee to draft
rules to govern the procedure in hear
ing the contests. This committee con-
sisted of five members, Mr.. Fassett be-
ing the chairman. A recess was taken
while the rules were being drafted.
The subcommittee delayed so long
in reporting that the anti-Taft mem
bers of the full committee conceived the
idea that gag rules" were being pre-

ry. the well known veteran minstrel
man, who has mining interests at
Pearl and Horseshoe Bend, making
his home at the latter place, was
stricken Tuesday with apopleXy, and
little hope is entertained of mis- re-
covery. DR.. Platt of Marsh, was
summoned and is doing everything
possible for Mr., Henry, but states
that his patient is in an extremely
critical condition.
Dr. Plat reports that Mr.. Henry's
right side is entirely paralyzed and
he is entirely helpless. He is not
responding to treatment and steadily
growing weaker, his age being a
strong influence against his recovery.
Hi Henry was one of the best
known men in the minstrel business
in the United States. For many
years he toured the country at the
head of a large and successful min
strel aggregation.
Some eight or 10 years ago Mr..
Henry became interested in a mining
property at Pearl and in the follow
ing years invested heavily, develop
