TWO HUNDRED
CONTESTS ON
MANY CONVENTION SEATS
TO BE PARCELED OUT
Some Sensations Are PrOmised-For-
aker VIII Probably Make Capital
Out of Brownsville Affair and
and Trouble for Bill Taft-Trying
to Create Discord in ROosevelt-Taft
Camp.

Chicago, June 5.-Over 200 seats In
the republican convention figure in
the contests which the national COM
mittee, which began its sessions to-
day. will be called upon to decide, The
Alabama contests will be taken up
first. Arkansas contestants will next
be heard, and so on down the list in
alphabetical order. Among the state
contests to be decided on down the
contests to be decided are Alabama,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and
Florida. Arizona and Alaska furnish
territorial contests. The district con-
tests come from all over the country,
but mainly from the south.
Among the political sensations
which have been sprung concurrent
with the meeting of the national COM
mittee Is a report that Senator For
aker intends to introduce the Browns
Vile matter as a bone of contention
in the convention.
While Foraker is not a delegate he
may get on the floor through a proxy
and present the resolution himself
or he may get one of his friends to
do it for him. Should the resolution
be sent to the committee on resolu-
tions without being read, as would
probably be done. be could have 1t
brought out in a minority report and
placed before the convention.
Senator Foraker does not doubt
that the calling up of the Brownsville
trouble in the convention will cause
trouble for the administration lead
ers. They now have before them
delicate task in placating the contest
ing delegations from several south
ern states, many of which have col
ored members.
: In letter to John f. Milholland OF
New York, Senator Foraker shows his
hand in the Brownsville bill matter
by suggesting to the 100000 negro
voters of the country that they de-

mand Of any presidential candidate
that he will support the Foraker bill
for the relief OF the discharged negro
soldiers.
The Ohioan knows that II there is
a general negro demand upon Secre-
tary Taft to pledge himself to this
bill. and he does so, a rift will be
created in the Roosevelt-Ta lutte
which 1t will require heroic tinkerlng
to repair.
The talk of a possible disagreement
between Taft and Roosevelt has
again brought discussion OF Second
elective term" for Roosevelt. The
ghost Of a third term apparently Will
not down. 1t comes now every day
from quarters entitled to a hearing.
The number Of republicans who be-
lieve that 1t would be the part OF
political wisdom to renominate the
president, in that his election would
be a certainty. is not decreasing but
probably increasing.

Reports received at the office Of
DR.. Mcclure, chief Of the federal
quarantine work in the northwest,
show that during the month of May
the federal inspectors in Oregon in
spected total Of SS0,SOS sheep, a
number equal TO almost half the
sheep Of the state
Out of the $4,000 sheep inspected
only 7179 were found TO be affected
with scab. These sheep were prac-
tically all confined to Lake and NAL
heur counties where the growers
were not as active in complying with
the provisions Of the dipping law as
were their brother stockmen in the
remainder Of the state.
At this time a year ago there were
2s4O00 scabby sheep in the state Of
Oregon. Consequently it will be seen
that scabbies has been practically
eradicated from the entire state
through the work done by the fed
eral people and the state sheep au-
thorities.
Idaho Is Clean.
During the month of May the fed
eral inspectors inspected 452,411
sheep in the state of Idaho and not

SPORTS

An cd baseball fan in town, who
has followed the game ever since it
was first started here and who has
been able to dope out the results OF
many games, predicts that the Heads
and the Saints will be the winners
next Saturday in the big league games.
The Diamond Heads and the Puns
line up in the first game and it ought
to be well worth walking out to see, as
both teams know a lot about how base
ball should be played. The Puns will
have Hampton in the box and they
feel that they should win with him in
that position. Bill Chillingworth will
probably do the twirling for his team
with the rest of the team the same as
in asst Saturdays game.
In the second game Reuter- and
Bushnell will do the pitching and
some think that the Kams have a gooc
/ show to win out. At any rate 'botf
! games will be well worth watching.

ALIEN EXODUS ONCE
MORE ON THE INCREASE.

NEW YORK, May 23.-Immigration
authorities say that the homeward tide
of foreigners is again on the increase.
European steamers in the past four
days have carried away not less than
1O,40O aliens as steerage passengers.
The weeks total is expected to reach
upwards of 1900.
Statistics show that since October
between 475,OOO and 100000 laborers
have departed, and no let-up is looked
for by the steamship companies for
some time to come. The shutting down
of factories, suspension of railroad and
public improvement work, and the gen.
eral cessation of business activity that
has thrown thousands out Of employ
ment are neld to be responsible for the
movement eastward.
During the first four months of 1907
the total exodus of laborers was 96,73l,
while for the first four months Of this
year the figures reached 239, 01O, an in
crease Of 1929.
