Special to The Herald.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Leaders Of
the anti-Taft movement claim COO
votes against the Secretary Of War In
the Republican national convention.
This claim is based upon reports FROM
all parts of the country and widely
varies from the claims Of the Tafs
managers that their candidate is now
assured Of from $50 to 521 votes.
The 600 votes that will be opposed
to Taft are divided among SenatoH
Knox of Pennsylvania, Speaker Cam
non of Illinois, Gov. Hughes of New
York and Senator Lafolllette of Wis
consin. 1t is claimed by the friends
of these candidates that their dele
gates will stand firm and in no case
win they shift to Taft.
If these claims are well founded, ID
win be impossible for Secretary Taft
to land the nomination. There will
be $50 votes in the convention and is
will take 491 to nominate. Should the
anti-Taft forces be able to hold their
delegates in line it will be necessary
for them to concentrate upon one Of
the opposition candidates in order to
win. Who the compromise candidate
will be remains to be seen.

he asserted that the House would pass

had recommended. He hoped to see
the standard of rebellion raised by

SOUTH SEA FOLK WHOM
STEVENSON MADE FAMOUS

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct "A great
splash of color from the Dream World
of the South Seas came into this port
when Thomas Fleming stepped from
the deck of the gasoline schooner Aeo-
lus, Captain William Lemmin, yester-
day afternoon. Robert Louis Stevenson
wrote: 81 love to recall the glad mo.

SPERRY'S OFFICERS
ON THE CARPET

MANILA, October 3. = Lieutenant
Frank Taylor Evans of the battieship
Louisiana, son of Rear-Admiral Robley
d. Evans and Lieutenant Charles Burt
of the battieship Georgia will be tried
before a special court martial board,
which will assemble on the battleship
Wisconsin October 9Th. The charges
against Lieutenant Evans are being
absent from his station while acting
as officer of the deck, using profane and
disrespectful language to a superior
officer and intoxication. The charges
against Lieutenant Burt are for 'con'
duet unbecoming an officer and gentle
man. Rear-Admiral Seaton Schroeder
viii act as president of the court.
Indications are that in the court
martial proceedings of Lieutenant
Evans the defense will make a strong
contest. Lieutenant Evans denies the
charge of intoxication and says that
he will offer the testimony of a mum.

been sober and quite fit for duty.

and understood the trick that the ira
der wife had played upon him.
The schooner Aeolus belongs to the
German trading company Hamburg
Gesellschaft, and Fleming S twenty five
years of trading in the islands have
been exclusively In the interests of that
concern. The little vessel Is one of a
fleet of FIVE that cruise among the sew
eral islands of the Marshall group to
pick up cargoes of copra, pearl shells
and shark fms. All of the sehooners
discharge cargo at Jaliuete. whence it
IS taken TO Europe in steamers which
cali regularly at the island station.
According to Fleming, a dangerous
condition of f.ff is exists Il. present on
the Caroline island, he largest IF the
group of the same rlme, which s tn
ated 500 miles from :hs Marshall ISL
ands. The German gaye:a nant las re.
Gently levied a head tax upoa the ma.
tiyes, the imposition of which they have
taken strong objection to, ani have
threatened to wipe out the white popu-
lation in consequence. As there are
thousands Of natives ard all .old act
more than 100 whites on the Car ,iine
on an island, the situation, according
to Fleming, is a grave one. However,
it would appear, he has something Of a
grievance against the German govern
ment and for that reason may think
the situation worse than it is. This
grievance is because of another tax
recently imposed by Germany ON the
products of the islands. 1t is a 10 per
cent tariff, and because of it Fleming
says the trading in the islands has sus.
tanned death blow. Already his com.
pany has abandoned the trading in
pearl shells, an important industry, but
upon which the profit is not large.
The Aeolus comes here in ballast, to
undergo a general overhauling and will
probably be here about month. Flem-
ing is accompanied by his native wife,
the same who robbed Stevenson Of a
drink of gin and who is the mother of
Fleming seven children who are down
among the palm trees and cocoanuts at
Jaliuete.
