DAWES GIVES DINNER.
Slate of National Committee Officers
Fixed Up.

Chicago, June u.-Charles G. Dawes
was host at a good fellowship" dinner
to several score of the leading Repub-
licans here Monday night. The function
took place in the Golden ball room of
the Auditorium Annex and was bril-
liant affair. Speeches were numerous
but political subjects were not dis
cussed. After the dinner, however,
there were number OF conferences be-
tween groups of party chiefs and as
result it was rumored w. Murray
Crane, United States senator from
man of the national committee with
Harry c. New of Indiana as vice chair
man. The rumors had it further that
Charles G. Dawes of Illinois will sue
coed c. N. Bliss of New York as treas
urer of the committee and that Elmer
Dover of Ohio will again be the secre-
tary. None of the men mentioned
would do more than smile when the
subject was preached to him but the
ticket" was given an appearance of
probability by several politicians who
declined to allow their names to be
used as confirmers of the slate.
The speech of Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts, as permanent
chairman of the Republican national
convention Will be, it is said, based
largely on the proposition that the well
fare Of the party demands that the
policies pursued by President Roosevelt
be upheld. It is expected that the adj
dress will require about 20 minutes for
its delivery and the speaker will en-
phasize the point that the people OF
the country at large are strongly in
favor of the policies OF the present ad-

them out without hesitation and with
all possible energy.

DRIVEN OUT BY FIRE.
Two Hundred Hotel Guests Forced to
Abandon Their Quarters.

Mount Vernon, N. Y. June 1.-two
hundred and five guests of the. hotel
Gramatan at Bronxville, West Chester
county were driven from their rooms
by disastrous fire which broke out
in the left wing of the hotel. One
third of the hotel which stood on a
hill. was destroyed before the flames
were extinguished. There was no loss
of life and the property loss is esti-
mated at $150,000.
The fire started from a defective
fiue in the room of guest on the Sec
ond floor and the alarm was promptly
sounded. Clerks and bell boys ran
through the Railways and saw that all
the guests were aroused. The hotel
fire brigade ran lines of hose to the
burning wing. The guests, the ma
jority of whom were New Workers,
hurried to the lawns when the alarm
was sounded but many returned u to
their rooms. to gather what they cpnld.
Notwithstanding the, fact that the
water pressure was light at the top of
the hill where the hotel was situated
the f1remen finally conquered the
flames, though not until one of the
wings of the hotel had been destroyed.

SAYS Law IS VOID.
The Pennsylvania Flies Its Answer in
the Commodity Case.

Philadelphia, June 1.-THE ans
wer of the Pennsylvania railway COM
pany to the bills in equity filed by the
government against the coal carrying
railroads to enforce the commodity
clause of the Hepburn act has been
filed here. Under this clause raiIroa DIS
are enJoined from transporting coal
mined by them or in the production
OF which they have an interest. The
answer Of the Pennsylvania saws that
the law is void.
The answer also contains the fol-
lowing paragraph: In the year 1907,
more than 6S million gross tons of an
thracite coal were mined in PennsyI-
van1a and approximately As million
tons were transported and consumed
at points outside Of PENNSYLVANIA.
Anthracite coal has thus become a
very considerable increment in inter-
state commerce highly essential to the
public welfare and any interference or
interruption of the movement of such
coal to points outside the state would
be serious inconvenience and detri-
ment to large portion of the fnhab-
itants Of the states to which anthra-
cite coal Is now transported
