be the Pennsylvania representative of the platform committee. said to- day that with some verbal changes the plank would be entirely satss- factory to him. This announcement is considered as important in view of the prominence of Mir Dalzell on the house committee on ways and means and his position as a stand batter" and tariff expert.
 q shall accept the pronouncement here made" he said, with slight alterations and shall make no pro- test. I recognize the fact that the time has come when there must be revision of the tariff and appre- ciate that something must be said on the subject at this time"
 MT DalZell declined to say what notifications he would insist upon but he indicated that he felt satis- fled that he would get them. The platform framers admitted that they were prepared to make changes in the language of the plank which would not disturb the general an- nouncement of principles made ill the original draft. They also de- clined to specify the changes to be made.

TAFT TROUSERS
Texas E0thusiaSls Baye Pair Made From Clipping From
 a Texas Angora Goat
TOO BIG FOR CANNON

Chicago, June 15.-A remarkable pair of trousers to be presented to Secretary Taft in the name of the state of Texas when he shall lave be- come the republican candidate for president are on their way to Chi cago and are attracting rhe attention Of the politicians.
 Incidentally it is said the trousers are intended to focus eyes on Texas and the Angora goat industry of the state, for the trousers are made of mohair, the product of clippings from a mamous Texas Angora gcat, and they are intended to be worn by the republican nominee for president ls it be Taft. If the nominee should be Cannon or Hughes or Knox or Fairbanks, the advertising will be lost to Texas for the mohair already has been made up i'll a pair of trou- sers according to Secretary Taft's measurement. The idea is that of John B. Darlington, secretary of the Business Mems club of San Antonio. He has written to Cecil A. Lyon, member of the national 2oiuIlittee of Texas, that ten pounds of wool had been sent to him by Frank 0. Lon drum, a goat breeder, the w'ol being six months clipping from Admiral Togo" whose sire was imported from South Africa The business men of San Antonio sent the wool to FhIia- delphia and had it made into mohalr, which in turn was sent to MT Tafts tailor in Washington and made into a pair of trousers for the secretary of war.
 The Texas business men expected that MT Taft would be in Chicago during the convention and ordered the trousers sent to Colonel Lyon for presentation to the secretary. They are now en route here.
 The reception programme will in- clude the exhibition of the trousers at the Coliseum if Taft is nominated. Colonel Lyon expects to have the trousers hoisted upon the Texas standard in thes usual proccssions of delegates.

 pd went at once to the quarantine gfounds. The quarantine officer re- ports that before the transport reached Honolulu one man. q navy man returning him died of small pox and was buried at sea. Two days ago an enlis cd man vas taken ill with the same disease. As the two men were in different par.s of the ship the entire vessel fs son sidered infected.

DELEGATES AT CHICAGO
 READY TO COME TO ORDER
Many Caucues Were the Order of the Day-The Platform Caus ing the Leaders Much AUxiey-Cannon Hand 10 Gel an AniLIOuucon Plank Iuseried-Possibily of Stampede 10 Roosevelt Not so Strong as IL Was

I Stewart l.. Woodford, spokesman for Governor Hughes, and who will nomi-
 nate the executive of the Empire
 state for the presidency, is prepared
 to announce that under no circum- stances will Governor Hughes either accept the nomination or qualify for office in the event of election.
 The proposed anti-injunction and tariff revision blanks in the platform to be adopted by the convention, con- tinue to attract attention and and
 discussion among the party leaders and are said to be the only points upon which any issue may be raised. Speaker Cannon, one of the candi-
 dates for the presidency, came hur- riedly to the city from his home in
 Danville, III, late last night, and to- day is scheduled for a conference with Senator Hopkins of Illinois, who 1 is slated for chairman of the resolu- tions, or platform committee, if the
 Taft people are successful in their plans for organizing the convention.
 MT Cannon is said to be opposed to the anti-injunction plank in the form generally accepted as drafted. AS to tariff revision MT Cannon has already
 had important conferences since his arrival with Representative Payne of
 New York and Dalzell of Pennsylva-
 mia, two of his most important lieu tenants in the lower house of con gress.
 Rumors that Senator Lodge of Mas sachusetts, who is to be permanent chairman of the convention, is in
 possession of letter from President Roosevelt intended as a damper upon any third term" movement that may be attempted, are definitely denied by Senator Lodge himself. The report is believed to have grown out of the fact that President Roosevelt wrote a letter some little time ago to
 United States Judge Dayton of West Virginia when it was intimated that
 Delegates c. F. Teeter and George w. Curtin of that state intended pos sible disregard of their instructions for Secretary Taft and bolt to Roosevelt. This letter was referred to at the time in Associated Press dis patches, and it is said that several copies of it are in Chicago, one being
 in the possession of Senator Lodge. It is generally believed that the letter will not be read in convention, as sug- gested, for it is thought by the presi- dent and the leaders here that the occasion for it's use will not arise.
 While it is said the letter does not contain definite repetition of Presi- dent Roosevelt's refusal to be a candi- date to succeed himself, 1t is a strong expression of his feeling that the vio- lation of instructions on the part of the delegates will he highly improper, and contains the statement that no friend of his would further any move ment in behalf of third term.
 The Blaine club of Cincinnati, 300 strong, arrived this morning and aroused no little enthusiasm as they marched from the depot to their ho- tel. Charles P. Taft met them and
 joined in the parade.

The Vice-Presidency.

Chicago, June 15.-The presiden- tial ticket makers to-day took up tEe question of the vice-presidency at the night, but there was an appreclabie falling off in the tolk for Senator Deliver.
 The Iowa men who are opposing his nomination are trying to head off the boom of their senator. They were joined by former Secretary of the Treasury Shaw who sought out Senator Long before the latter had finished his breakfast and immedi- ately became a vigorous remon. strance against further efforts in Delivers behalf. He went directly to the point. You don't want an- other LaFoliette in the senate do you?" he asked.
 Well, then" he added, don't open the way for sending Cummins to the senate as you will do if you cause Deliver to vacate his seat there. Yes," he went on, i've might vote for Deliver if he were nominated, but we are going to see to 1t that he is not nominated. It must not be-
 Senator Long to-day for the first time manifested disposition to weaken in his advocacy of the Iowa senator. It was asserted by others that before the close of the day Dolli- yer would put himself in nomination with his boomers and that he would positively say that he would decline the nomination if rendered. The in- dications now are that he will not have to go to so great an extreme, but that a simple request from ham will be sufficient to induce them to cease their efforts in his behalf. With Deliver out of the way the contest narrows practically to Fairbanks and sherman, with Fairbanks declaring emphatically over the long distance telephone that he will r>t accept sec ond place if rendered him.
 Senator Hemenway is his spokes- man here and he said.
 "I have stated thousand times that the vice president would not &C., cept If nominated I can now only reiterate it and 1 do with all the em- phasis at my command"
 Mir Fairbanks friends say there will be revusion of sentiment against what they characterize as the political policy of dictating the nation- al nominees from Washington.
 They contend that if he holds him. self superior to political inducements and maintains a dignified position of opposition to this plan, he will be most eligible for the first place four years hence. They admit, however, that the vice-president would be plac- ed in an embarrassing position by the tender of the nomination. Among those urging his candidacy are the republican candidates for staee of- fees in Indiana, including the guber- material candidate, Mir Watson. They are representing the necessity of naming Mir Fairbanks in the interest of themselves and the party in that state.

The Anti-Injunction Plank.

Chicago, June 15.-The anti-in- junction plank of the platform as passed upon in Washington Is as fol- lows:
 We declare for such an amendment of the statutes of procedure in the federal courts with respect to the use of writ of injunction as will on the one hand prevent the summary issue of such orders without proper considi eration and on the other will pre- serve undiminished the power of the courts to enforce their processes to the end that justice may be done at all times and to all parties.
 Over this plank there is a very sharp contest. The labor leaders are urging it's adoption and hundreds of telegrams are pouring in from manu- lecturers and other employers of la- bor opposing the measure. Follow ing is the tariff revision plank propos- ed by the Taft people.
 "The republican party declares un- equiyocally for revision of the tar if by a special session of congress immediately following the work as- signed to the appropriate committees and commerds the steps already talk en to this end in the work assigned to the committees of the two houses which are now investigating the operations and effect of existing schedules. s.
