AT CONVENTION
CONTINUED from rage One,

taken into custody members of the
Montana delegation to the national Re
publican convention were notified OF
his condition. Charles e. Leonard,
chairman of the delegation; Lee Man

Thompson. The decision of the COM
mittee sustained the action of the ma
tional committee taken last week.
The Fifth Arkansas district went 10
Taft by default.
Work Is Shortened
The work of the committee was
greatly shortened by the action OF the
contesting factions in Louisiana. They
held a conference Immediately a1ter
adjournment of the convention, wnlch
lasted for several hours, and 1t was
decided to withdraw the contest and
allow the decision of the national COM
mittee to stand. This gives each FAC
ton a full number of delegates, each
with one-half of a vote.
The First and Third Georgia dis
trict Taft delegates were seated.
The Taft delegates in the Florida
contests, two az large and three from
districts, were declared entitled 10
their places on the permanent roll,
with only one vote in opposition.
At midnisht the committee on Gre
dentials was still in session with every
intention of finishing its work before
adjournment. Six states, involving
sixty-two delegates, had been called
up to that time, and in every instance
the decision of the committee had
been in favor of the Taft factions and
sustained the action taken last week
by the national comnaittee.
The contests heard were those in Ar
kansas, Alabama. Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky and Mississippi. The Bit
ter fight in the state of Louisiana was
settled without coming before the ere
dentials committee. The Lilly
Whites" and the BLACK Tans' held
an extended conference late in the day
and agreed to accept the verdict rem
dered by the national committee which
seated both delegations with half a
vote each.
The Taft members of the committee
early showed that they possessed a
strong working majority. The oppo-
sition several times attempted to force
roll calls which could only be had on
the request of twenty members. AT
no time did they show more than six
teen in favor of such action.
The first vote taken on the seating
of Taft delegates in Alabama was IS
to in favor of the Taft delegates, and
the others shows about that divis.ot
of strength.
Although outnumbered in the com.
mittee the allies announced they would
continue their contests and would
carry every one of their fights to the
floor of the convention before they
would accept final defeat.
Much i'll feeling was shown between
the contesting delegations throughout
the night. The members of the op-
posing factions in the First Kentucky
district piled epithets with force an6
frequency, and angry disputes between
counsel were frequent.

erty rights. The remedy, if in any
single instance injustice had been done,
was in the impeachment Of the judge,
he said.
Mr.. Emery said, with some empha-
SIS. that his opponents had for two
years had standing invitation to file
with the judiciary committees of con-
gresS all the cases they could find
where injunctions had been misused in
labor disputes. The result had been
that less than a month ago thirty-one
cases had been filed, covering a period
Of twenty-five years, and only one
of these cases had the injunction been
modified.
Planks for Negroes
Gilchrist Stewart of New York, a
negro, next claimed the attention of
the committee, to Inject little color
into the deliberations, as he expressed
1t. Stewart wanted two planks adopted
for the benefit of the black man.
A protest against any tariff revision
that would fix such a high minimum
rate as to afford no inducement for the
formation of trade agreements was
made by Judge Samuel Cowan of Fort
Worth, Tex, in behalf of the Ameri-
can Live Stock association.
Congressman Serene E. Payne of
New York presented a protest from a
number of New York business men
against curbing, the independence of
the courts In the issuance Of injunc-
tons.
The last speaker before the commit
tee was John L. Hamilton of Illinois,
president of the American Bankers
association, who opposed a plank fav-
oring the establishment of postal saw
ings banks.
The room was then cleared and the
committee went into executive session.
The only business transacted in ex-
ecutive session was the appointment
of subcommittee, which was decided
upon at the beginning of the session,
and which was composed as follows:
Hopkins of Illinois, chairman; Long
of Kansas, Crane of Massachusetts,
Kellogg of Minnesota, Payne of New
York, Adams of North Carolina, Ellis
of Ohio, Crawford of South Dakota,
Dalzell OF Pennsylvania, Clark Of wy
oming. Warner of Missouri, Ballinger
Of Washington and Groner of Virginia.
The full committee adjournef until
D. m. tomorrow, with the under
standing that at that time the sub
committee should be prepared to re-
port. The subcommittee went into
session at o'clock tonight.
Senator Long Of Kansas, who made
the motion during the first session OF
the committee for the appointment of
the subcommittee. and who was the
first member appointed by Senator
Hopkins, the chairman, said tonight,
in discussing the PLATFORM:
II am going to do everything pos
sible IN the committee to make plat
form In line with Roosevelt and Taft,
especially as shown by the latter in
his speeches preceding this conven-
ton"
Senator Long had reference to the
ch-discussed injunction question.
He stated it was his belief this plank
would merely declare against sum-
mary action by courts, without recon-
mending anything that would lessen
the dignity and prerogatives or the
courts as esta blished by long practice.

JUDGE LAWLoR TO RENDER
DEMURRER DECISION THURSDAY

SAN FRANCISCO. June 16.--Judge
Lawlor today heard the arguments on
the demurrer to the indictments Jointly
brought against Abraham Ruef. Pat
rick Calhoun, TREY l.. Ford and George
M. Abbott, for alleged bribery OF Su-
pervisor Coleman in the matter OF Sc.
curing the overhead trolley franchise
of the United Railroads.
Attorneys for Ruef and the others
indicted aygued that no crime has been
committed according to the statutes OF
California, because it appears that the
bribers offered the supervisors money
visors were not, in the regular order
of their duties, compelled to do. The
argument was purely technical. Judge
Lawlor put the time for rendering his
decision at 10 o'clock Thursday.

unfriendly to Mr.. Taft, but they
thought it unwise to adopt any plan
which would appear to stifie fair near

The case of Alabama, involving the
DELEGATION at large and all of the dis
tricts was called at 5:58 o'clock, and
the proceedings were opened. Under
the rules adopted, giving ten minutes

more than fourteen hours will be re-

The contests of one state can be Joined

committee.
The Taft forces will seek to have
these consultations made in the hear

tials.
The Alabama contest, Involving the
entire twenty-five delegates, was de-
cided by the committee within two
minutes after the close of the argu-

ton In Future National conven.
tions Is Discussed for
Two Hours

CHICAGO. June 16.-The question Of
whether there shall be reduction in
representation in future national con-
ventions was discussed for two hours
today by the committee on rules and
order of business without result, an
adjournment being taken until a. m.

that hereafter each state shall be en-
titled to four MISUNDERSTANDING and
one delegate for each 10000 votes or
majority fraction thereof, cast at the
preceding presidential election, and

BELLINGHAN, June 16.--Before the
eyes of her two children, IL and 8,
Mrs. Frank Eggleston sent two bullets
from a 32-caliber revolver into the
heart and breast of her husband this
morning, killing him almost instantly,
in the little home they had nearly
completed in West Bellingham. The
woman states she killed her husband
to prevent him from killing her and
the children,
A month ago the husband lost his
employment and feared that his fam
lily would be turned out Of doors as
a payment on the home became due.
Yesterday he declared that If he lost
his home he would kill his family and
himself.
This morning Eggleston attempted
to shoot his wife with rifle, which
missed fire. She ran to her bedroom,
where the children were sleeping, TAX
ing q revolver from the dresser. Her
husband came in and grabbed her.
She fired point blank at his breast.
He fell to the floor, but attempted to
rise, cursing her vilely. Standing over
him the woman fired again fairly into
his heart. He fell back with gasp,
dead.
The woman has not been arrested.

dangers to public health from food
