SOUTHERN DELEGATES WIN.
Effort TO Reduce Representation
from this section Again Fails.

Chicago, June 17.--The effort to
secure a reduced representation of
delegates to National Republican
Conventions has again failed. BY a
vote Of "a to IT,, the con- mittee on
rules today rejected tine Burke reso-
luton, providing for such reduction,
and also, by practically the same
vote, tabled the Parsons substitute
along the same line. Representa-
tive Burke and his 16 supporters an
nounced that they would file mi
nority report.
AS on yesterday, the main oppo-
sition came from the Southern States.
Alabama, South Carolina and Mary
land bitterly attacked the resolu-
tions, the delegates from those
States taking the same ground as
their Southern colleagues who spoke
yesterday--that reduction would
spell the disruption of the Republi-
can, party in the South. They had
, the support of Gen. Powell Clayton,
national committeeman and delegate
from Arkansas, who maintained that
the resolution was simply PROPOSE
tion to cruelty the colored man and
! divide his ;aiment among certain
States north of the Mason and Dixon
line" He argued that the negro
was loyal to the Republican party;
but If he was cast Ito the enemy
there was nothing left to him but to
make the best he could with those to
whom he had been consigned. "The
Democratic party will take every ne
gro vote It can get" he said, "and
whenever the negroes commence to
vote the Democratic ticket the DEM
oGratic party will count their votes
i North and South" Besides, he said +,
the proposition was Illogical.

To His Own Big Ovation Transmitted

Chicago, June TIT is said to-
night that President Roosevelt him

wild demonstrations of enthusiasm
which greeted his name in the con-
yention this afternoons Remarkable
as this may seem is was accounted
ist by the following circumstances.
Hapging ten feet above the heads of
the delegates and Immediately in
front of the platform are four black
discs, fooped by wires nd joined by
a small central cable leading from
the hall. Many have wondered at
these discs, believing them TO be q
part of the system for electrical dis
plays. AS matter of fact they are
a combination of tciephone and pho
'nograph, taking up the proceedings
as they occur and transmitting each
swell of oratory and each throb of
enthusiastic applause. According to
the reports tonight one of the wires
was cut into the White House early
this afternoon, and the President I'm
person, with the receivers to his
ears, caught the words of Lodge as
he electrified the vast assemblage
and the echoing shouts which ebbed
and flowed for full 45 minutes.

TIRADE ON woMAN's DRESS.

in letter to the newspapers of Hud-

coarse jokes and low conversation the
country over. Fashion this year has
her slaves shortening their dresses at
the other end until they are making
themselves objects of side glances
and unclean talk on the part of the
low-minded men everywhere, especi-
ally on windy day.
"And now to cap the climax, fash

dress making SO immodest an expos
ure of the wearer's form that any re-
spectacle woman ought to be most
heartily ashamed to be seen wearing
1t. In the name of God, ask-yes,
