Congressman William b. Mckinley.
manager of the Cannon forces. yester-
day for the first time during the
campaign, gave out statement OF
his estimate of the strength of Speak
er Cannon at the Chicago convention.
Mr. Mckinley said:
Speaker Cannon will have not less
than lag votes on the first ballot. Be-
sides the entire 81 delegates from
Illinois he will have IS from the south.
IL from New England, eight see ter
Ing from eastern states, 16 from the
west and eight In the southwest. This
added to the strength of the 'favorite
sons Of several states, will constitute
a considerable majority of the con-
yention. No candidate can be nomi-
mated on the first or second ballots.
Speaker Cannon will on the second
ballot develop such an increase of
strength as to make him at once the
most conspicuous figure before the
convention This increase will come
from the support of all other candi-
dates He will be nominated soon
after the second ballot"

GERMANY CAUSES SURPRISE.

Receive Minister Hill.

Receive Minister Hill.
Paris, March 26.--David Jayne Hill.
who arrived last evening from The
Hague. expressed the greatest sur
prise when informed by the Associ-
ated Press that the German govern
ment declined to receive him in the
capacity OF American ambassador to
succeed Charlemagne Tower. He
said this was the first intimation lie
had of the German governments ac-
ton and he was at a loss to under
stand the announcement, especially
because he personally saw an official
communication from Germany to
Washington, expressing satisfaction
over the ratification of his selection
for that pcst by President Roosevelt.
Moreover, ne said, on recent
visit to Berlin he did not hear any
thing that would lead him to believe
he was persona non grata to Ger
many, nor } al he received any I'M
preston that the situation was differ
ent from that expressed in the Off
cial communication he read
The announcement of Germany's
attitude toward Mr.. Hill caused
much surprise in French diplomatic
circles, in which ne is well known
especially from his Writings on inter-
national law and his service in The
Hague peace conference.
Minister Hill came to Paris on a
business mission, and he said last
night that he did not know just when
he would return to The Hague

PLACE OF PARLIAMENTARY
PROCEDURE.
BLACK EYES AND BRUISES LEFT
TO TESTIFY TO FIERCE
ENCOUNTER.
DEFEATED CROWD WILL HOLD
A MEETING OF ITS
OWN.

Nashville, Tenn, March 26.-The
republicans of Tennessee assembled
here yesterday morning for the
state convention. Last night, black
eyes, skinned heads and bruised
faces testified to a riot that marked
the gathering in the hall of the
house Of representatives at the cap
itol. In the list of casualties. hair
man Sanders of the state executive
committee figures prominently. His
experience in the hall was one never
to be forgotten by him, and to the
witnesses of the turbulent scene, Il
seemed almost incredible that he
suffered no real physical harm. As
it was, he presented sorry picture
when he emerged from the battle
which occurred between the factions,
one supporting the interests of Con-
gresham Brownlow, the other those
of former Commissioner of Pensions
Evans. The Brownlow forces want
ed W. Oliver of Knoxville for ma
tional committeeman. The Evans
men favored the candidacy of Con-
gresham N. w. Hale for that posi-
zion. BY sheer force OF numbers
and fighting powers, the BrownloW-
Oliver-Austin crowd took and held
the hall nominated a ticket and
adopted motion that the delegates
to the national convention go unin-
structed
The Evans-Hale forces held no
convention, but will meet today and
name ticket.
Used Gridiron Tactics.
The Brownlow-Oliv forces took
possession of the convention hall
shortly after o'clock in the morn
ing. The guards placed there by
the state committee, were elected.
They held the field and when the
time came went ahead with the or
ganization CT the convention. Hardly
had Chairman Davis raped for CT
der. however, before the Evans-Sand-
ersHale charge was on. With regu.
lar football tactics, they started for
the rostrum. Before the Oliver
squad could pull itself together.
Sanders had reached the platform
and was proceeding to call the con
vention to order again But he did
not get far before the Oliver forces
came to. then backward and forward
the struggling mass surged
The Sanders guards could not
stem the tide and he was literally
torn from their grasp. his clothes
torn almost all off and he was bod
lily lifted from his feet and carried
out on to the veranda.
Fights InnumerabIe.
While all this was gong on, lights
innumerable were in progress and
the hall was a bedIam. In the
course of the riot, r. T. Cameron OF
Chattanooga a Brownlow man. is
said to have broken four folding
chairs over the head of negro dele
gate who had given him some back
talk"
With the police looking on, the
Brownlow men went into con-
vention, the Evans crowd offering no
further interference than yells and
jeers IL the speakers.

S P O. TO G-Y
By w. o. RIsHEI-.

OF all the schemes proposed this
spring for the benefit of automObilists
and the boosting of the automobiles.
the one proposition of merit is the
speedway TO Saltair 1t is feasible,
and when completed will be lasting. 1t
will be useful the day it is completed,
and FOR years to come Will be as
popular as the day it is. first used.
Such a speedway will afford a place
where automobile owners may go and
drive TO their hearts content. 1t will
furnish a drive where a man may
take his family for a pleasant after
noon or evenings run. And above
ALL il will be roadway where
strangers in the city can be given
quick trip to the lake, through an
open country, where a clear view of
the mountains and a clean sweep of
the most fertile valley in the great
west forms a pleasing picture.
This roadway should be built with
a view of speed within the limits of
safety. This is possible. because there
viii not be any crossings, and, as it
is constructed upon a private right
of way, it win be closed to all other
vehicles and pedestrians. The idea of
making a speedway where daredevil
drivers will drive miles in next to
nothing is not sane nor safe. Some
suggest il as an ideal course for hold
ing automobile road races similar to
the bicycle road races. 1t is said an
observation train can be run along
side the racers in which the public
viii be afforded a good view of the
contestants. This is clearly imprac-
ticable. for the simple reason that the
automobiles in such a race would go
so much faster than the railroad train
that the best the observation crowd
would get would be the smell of gaso-
line as the cars dashed past.
The committee now at work solicit
ing funds reports good success. When
a man pays from one to six thousand
dollars to buy car he can we'll af-
ford TO add a couple of hundred more
to enjoy that car. The speedway to
Sailtair will give this enjoyment, and
every owner Of machine in the city
should get behind the movement.

Jeffries' New Fight Club.

4 couple of weeks ago il was stat
ed in these columns that the fighting
game as conducted in Los Angeles at
the present time was nothing more
than a big joke. 1t was hard to I'M
derstand how fight fans, as well in
formed as the fight fans of Los An
geles must be, would stand for some
of those ten-round affairs with pill
lows on the hands instead of boxing
gloves. Now it seems that others are
of the same opinion, and James JEFF
fries is out with the statement that
he has organized a club in which
there will be some real fights. The
new club is located at Vernon. just
outside of the city limits of Los An
gcles, and an arena capable of seat
ing 5000 people is being constructed.
Jeffries has wired both Billy Papke
and Stanley Ketchell offering them a
date for the opening of the club. II
would make good one in fact, it is
about the best card in sight at the
present time. Should Jeffries be sue
cessful in his new venture there is no
question but that the fight game and
club as conducted by McCarey under
the Los Angeles ordinances will be
thing of the past.
