Minority Representing the "Al-
lies" Sees Futility OF
Making Report.
ABANDoNs STRUGGLE
Work of Body Disposed Of

National Committee.

Chicago, June 1.-THE minority of
the credentials committee which last
night announced that the fight in be-
half of the allies who were overruled
on every proposition by the majority of
that body, would be carried to the floor
of the convention, weakened at the
last moment and announced that the
fight would not be prosecuted further.
The leaders saw the futility of further
action.
Representation Not Cut.
Chicago, June 1.-THE committee
on rules defeated "a to II the resolu-
ton introduced yesterday by Burke
of Pittsburg, providing for a reduc-
ton in the ratio of representatives at
the national convention.
Taft Wins All Way Through.
Chicago, June 1.-THE committee
on credentials, after an all night ses-
sion, passed upon the last contest at
4 a. m. Every case was decided by
previous decisions of the national
committee. In nearly every instance
the seated delegation was the one in
structed for Taft. A dissenting re-
port was made by a minority of the
committee.
In Session. II Hours.
Chicago, June 1.-THE committee
or credentials was in continuous ses-
sion for Is hours, convening at 3
o'clock in the afternoon and finishing
the last hearing just after 4 o'clock
this morning.
George 7. Buckingham, representa-
tive of the Cannon managers on be.
half of the contesting anti-Taft dele.
gates, expressed the views of the anti
Taft contingent.
"Ttis has been a perfect farce. We
have not had even the semblance of a
fair show or a fair hearing. The
cases have not been heard on their
merits, because there has been no op-
portunity to even state the cases. J, 1t
is now certain that a minority report
will go to the convention and that we
shall make our real fight for justice
to the delegates as they sit in the
convention hail.
McHarS Makes Reply.
Senator McHarg, the counsel in
chief for the Taft managers, said in
reply:
Their cases were weaker even than
before the national committee. They
have made absolutely no showing
| They have been treated with every
consideration and they. are only fight
ing for time. They have no more
show of carrying through a minority
report than they have of flying"
| Only 40 of the original 229 con
TESTS were presented to the creden
tials committee by the lawyers fol
the allies. Four attorneys represented
all of these contests-George T. Buck
| ingham of Illinois for Speaker Can

speculation.
Notifications of the original plank

sition for consideration by the SUBJ

Rcverses the Figures.
Those who oppose the mention of
the subject in the platform assert the
full committee is 81 to 81 in their
favor while the Taft forces maintain
these figures should be exactly re.

plank, there seems little difficulty
ahead of the platform substantially
as desired by the Washington admin

Glenn. We women do not fuss
when you men dye your gray
boards and pad out your narrow
shoulders.
Woman's dependence on man fol-
the clothes she wears. the food she
eats and the roof that shelters her
is largely responsible for the cult
of dress and the petty receptions
that deceive no one-not even the
''unsuspect ing male subject" OF
Georgia.
In order to have homes and an
income and babies and someone to
love and boss and bully we have
to have husbands. And we know
by experience that dainty clothes
and store compilations get them
for we have been at the game a
long, long while.
Think ii over, Mr.. Glenn. And
the next time you feel called upon
to introduce a bill consult some
good. sensible woman about it
first.

HERE'S WHERE
We cINcH RAG

Yesterday The Press predicted a
bright future for the Spokane-Van-
cOuver series, pased on the as
sumption that the Indians are
themselves again.
While the fans who couldn't go
to the last Outcast game read the
prophecy, the fans who were there
saw the beginning Of its fulfill
ment. They also saw the opening
of what ought to be the grandest
week of baseball ever seen In this
city.
The only thing that may mar 1t
Is the possibility of the Indians
eating the Canucks alive. That
wouldn't be so bad, either. Just
now.
Hulen Is human and might have
gone bit too far in resting the
team in the Butte series, but the
chances are that the old horse had
just the right bunch, as usual.
Come on now with the big
boost.

M'CL0sKEY LET OUT

McCloskey can come back to
Butte next year If he wants to. He
has practically quit in st. Louis or
will be canned, the statistics are
not clear. The breakup occurred
over Stanley Robson, owner OF
the team. trying to assume the &C
tual management in order to side
track McCloskey's plans.
A st. Louis sporting writer says
Robson is trying to run major
league team on bush league pol
icy and McCloshey won't stand for
it. Incidently, Robson comes in
for a toasting or his ideas of base
ball.

ARE We READY.
FOR CANUCKS?

With one mighty swat of the ball
in the ninth inning yesterday
when the score stood %, Bobby
James put the sphere SO far into
left field that it was left there
when Kippert scored the winning
run.
More noise ensued then and
there than ever before heard in
Recreation park.
All through the game the Indians
played in their native form. Out
of the Al chances in the field they
did not miss one. Everybody was
on his toes AMI pulling hard. In
the grandstand back of the Butte
players bench the Vancouver team
sat, critical observers of the In
dians' game, pulling for Butte and
shouting in derision at every eff
fort of the Indians. They were
only shouting at the efforts, how
ever. for they always subsidized like
a calm following a violent storm
when the efforts always eliminated
successfully.
Bert Dunn, utility man, was
pitching. Just what Dunn had is
unknown, unless it was ball of
less speed than used by the pitch
ers whom the Outcasts have for
the past week batted all over the
lot. He pitched a heady. steady
game, allowing eight hits. Sits and
Hoon secured triples off him, and
Swain, Irby and Bender doubles.
But that wasnt any discourage
ment. He only struck out one and
walked one. He played to let them
his the slow Gnes and depended
upon his support. which was gilt
edged in every instance. And 1t
won.
Bobby James was the hitting
wonder. The singer which won
the game would have been good for
a home run. lie made a clean
home run In the first inning
straight over SWANS head and
scored Hulen and himself. Butte
had made one run in the first and
after that neithe, side scored again
until the ninth. when both made
one, Spokane winning to 2.
The game wound up the series
with Butte winner of Ave and Spo-
kane Of three.
Young Hardness, who has before
always proven an enigma to the
Spokane team, was found for a
total of nine hits, including James
two mighty swats, three baggers
by Hulen and aJmes and double
by Stevens.
Chandler played left field for
Clynes, who was resting up for
Vancouver, and Childers played
CHAINS position at third. Childers
is the amateur secured from Wal
