TAFT OPPOSITION HELPLESS
RENEWED EFFORTS BY ALLIES
TO STOP LANDSLIDE AVAILs
NAuGHT.
TWO CONTESTS ARE DECIDED
Delegates From Florida and Georgia
Districts co In Under Protest.
Mckinley on the
Scene.

Chicago, June S.--The republican
national committee Monday seated the
contested Taft delegates from the
Third Florida district and the contest
ed Taft delegates from the First dis
trict of Georgia.
The "allies," despite rumors to the
contrary, Monday renewed their fight
before the national committee in an ef-
fort to get their contesting delegations
on the temporary roll call.
Representative Mckinley, who Is
credited with being the real manager
OF the Cannon boom. reached the city
Monday in response to hurry call
from Senator Hemenway and Senator
Murray Crane. He Is expected to
prove a tower Of strength to the cause
of the allies" and to hold in line GER
tain Of the leaders who are becoming
too radical" in their fight against
Taft before the republican national
committee to suit either Crane or
Hemenway.
Getting Under Cover.
1T IL not q question Of lighting be-
fore the national committee and the
convention that we have to decide"
said one of the Indiana mans lieuten-
ants Monday. Rather 1t Is how to
handle this situation best in order to
protect our friends in our own local
tiles. While the presidency is a big
stake, yet We are not losing sight OF
the fact that there is = congress to be
elected and that any errors made by
us will be taken advantage of by our
democratic friends"
And this is the real reason why the
managers of the opposition to Taft's
candidacy for president have decided
to continue fighting to get their con-
testing delegates on the temporary
roll OF the republican national conven-
ton. They have little hope of sue
ceeding but believe. II they put up the
tight here and later, in the committee
on contested seats, they will be able
TO force compromises in congressional
districts where the party is badly
split and thus save certain republican
congressman who are booked to have
hot fights this fall.

draft of the platform which will be
presented to the resolutions committee
Of the convention. It was written by

That our American Forests abound IN
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores OF the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness Of many native plants before the
advent Of the white race. This informa-
tion, impaired freely TO the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment OF most
valuable American medicinal roots.

live for after the loss of her eleven
year-old daughter, who died year
ago, Mrs. William Ruleff, aged 27
years ended her life by drinking half
a tumblerful of carbolic acid at her
home, 2131 Lapeyrouse street, last
week. Before she took the acid Mrs.
Ruleff stated her inteations to her
husband. She also notified several of
her neighbors that she was going to
kill herself, but nc one took her de-
claration seriously.
VIM. Ruleff, husband of the dead
woman, said he married his wife about
a year ago and that she was widow
at the time of the marriage. He said
that as far as he knew his wife had
no cause for worry save for a mental
distress induced by brooding over the
death of her daughter. Neighbors
said that she seemed to possess a
cheerful disposition and that no one
would ever suspect her of entertain
ing thoughts of suicide.
Mrs. Ruleff and her husband had a
little quarrel, which amounted to
nothing, and later the couple made up
and became reconciled. When she
started to the kitchen to drink the ia
tai draught, she shouted back to her
husband, "good BY" When he reach
ed her side it was too late to prevent
her from accomplishing her purpose.

quickly summoned and every effort
was made to save the life of the wo-
man, but without avail.
