The Ohio Contests Yesterday Melted For
aker Two Half Votes
The Hearing Also Raised the Total Vote OF TAFT to
5O4--The Vice-F residential OminatiOn it is Said
Will be Left to the Field.

Chicago, June 10.--The republican
national committee by hard work to-
day decided the contests in two states
at large and fourteen districts, the
net result being SO full and two half
votes added to the number already
possessed by Taft, and two half votes
given to Senator Foraker.
The committee has yet to consider
the contests at large of four states and
a total of thirty-eight district con-
tests. and two from the territories, in
volving a total of ninety-four votes.
Previous to the meeting Of the COM
mittee the number of Taft instructed
delegates was 3S7. The work of the
committee as far as it has progressed
has given him II Traditional votes or a
total of 5O4 on temporary roll call.
The chief interest today centered in
the Ohio contests of which there were
four, in the third, sixth, tenth and
fourteenth districts. Taft was given
the delegates in the third, tenth and
thirteenth districts. In the sixth both
delegations were seated with half a
vote each. The Foraker men made a
strong fight in this district because it
was the old home of the senator, and
they were anxious TO secure a vote for
him.
The motion TO divide the delegation
between Taft and Foraker came from
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts and
was carried without strenuous opposi-
tion.
The contests in the third and tenth
4 fanfinnaI
fights. both sides in the dispute being
instructed for Taft. In the thirteenth,
the action of the Taft delegates in
holding a convention Of their own was
sustained. and they were seated on the
temporary roll call.
The days proceedings opened with
hearing of the contests from the elev-
enth and twelfth Missouri districts,
after those. coming the North Caro-
lima contests, which were over dele
gates at large and seven districts.
These were not complicated and were
heard separately Ohio followed North
Carolina and then came South Caro-
lima, where there was only one con-
test over the delegation at large. This
went TO Taft by default. The hearing
of the cases from the first and fifth
South Carolina districts was passed
until tomorrow.
1t is the hope of the national com
mittee to be able to finish it's work
by Friday night To this end the
members are making every possible ef-
fort to induce the warning factions to
consent TO a consolidation of the cases.
There is much important work slated
for the committee on Saturday and
Monday, and il is earnestly desired
that the hearings may be over in
ample time to allow sufficient atten-
tiOn to be paid to these matters
With the end of the labor of the
national committee in fairly good
shape. the discussion turned today to
the makeup of the credentials com
mittee in the convention, to which

Mail Pouch Containing Possibly 100000
Lost at Kansas City
The Treasure Was Made Up In a Large Part of Cur
rency Shipments by Los Angeles Banks to New
York Correspondents.

Los Angeles, June 10.-Reluctant
admissions made by the pOstoffice
authorities of three cities today con-
firm to some extent the belief that
the disappearance Of a registered mail
pouch somewhere within the jurisdic-
tion of the Kansas City pOstOffice
last Saturday night proves to be the
biggest haul in the history of the
postoffice department
From private sources it was learn
ed late today that a package of at
least $50,000 of currency was among
the contents of the pouch, which car
ried, in addition, an unusually large
number of letters and packages, con-
tanning money and other valuables,
the amount of which can only be
conjectured, but which may reach
$4,000 more. The pouch was in
transit from this city to New York.
Postal inspectors who have had the
case in charge for the last forty
eight hours refuse any informstion
of the manner in which it became
lost to sight in the transfer from one
responsible guardian to another.
That a pouch of valuable mail dis
appeared was admitted today by the
department at Washington, by Post
master Flint of Los Angeles and by
Inspector Vickery, attached to the
Kansas City postOffice, who appears
to have the case for investigation.
In no instance was there any posi-
tive information to be secured as to
the amount stolen or as to the prob
able method employed in carrying out
the robbery. The fact that the mail
in process of transfer at the Union
depot at. Kansas City was handled
by a temporary sub-statiOn since the
destruction of the regular branch Of
flee by fire several months ago, sup
ports the theory that advantage was
taken of the conditions which were
presumed to be more lax than Ordi-
nary
There is reason to believe that the
s50,OOO package of currency which
undoubtedly will prove to the larg-
est individual loss, was a shipment
made by a Los Angeles bank to
New York correspondent, such trans
fers being frequent. Postmaster Flint
stated that it was impossible for any
official of the department even to
estimate the total contents of the
missing mail pouch until. the holders
of receipts issued on the day in ques-
ton have made affidavits as to the
matter entrusted to the mails.
Late this afternoon there was some
additional information relative to the
package of currency supposed to be
in the pouch, was obtained from Cash
ier Charles Seyler of the Farmers and
Merchants National Bank of this city.
who said: According to our infOr-
nation a mail pouch, made up here
on June 3, and leaving for New
York on that date. has disappeared.

FINAL VOTE TODAY
ON ANTl=GAMBllNG
Immediately Thereafter the Albany
Special Session Will Adjourn.

Albany, June 10.-Veterans Of many
campaigns confess that their memo
ries lack d complete parallel of the ex-
traordinary situation existing here to-
night on the eve Of the second struggle
in the senate over the bills embodying
the renewed recommendation of Gov
ernor Hughes that the legal discrimi-
nation be abolished which for thirteen
years has practically protected public
gambling at the race tracks of this
state.
A conference Of republican senators
late today agreed upon the limitation
of debate which would have brought
the bills to a final vote probably late
tomorrow afternoon or evening This
was followed by a meeting of the fl
nance committee TO consider a joint
resolution adopted some time ago, fix
ing the hour of final adjournment Of
the extraordinary session at 2 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon.
In this committee meeting Senator
Grady. the democratic minority lead
er, who led the opposition to the anti
gambling bills, surprised everybody
not in his confidence by suddenly

bate should be so limited as to bring
the final vote at noon. Up to that
moment it had been expected that the
opposition would exhaust every means
to delay the vote.
Tomorrow battle will be entirely
in the senate. By the assembly's pas
sage this afternoon of both the anti
gambling bills, the majority in favor
being reduced from the former vote Of
126 to Z. and 1876 to 9, to 100 to "a and
9S to 26.
Senator Otto G. Foelker, of Brooklyn
whose vote is indispensable to the pas
sage of bills accompanied by DIR. Muir
ply. his physician. arrived at Albany
tonight from Staatsburg, where he had
been confined to his bed for a month
after an operation for appendicitis.
The senator looked very sick and was
driven at once with DIR. Murphy to a
private house where he viii spend the
night. Foelker suffered a collapse
soon after. reaching the house.
The doctor said he hoped the sena-
tor would be able to attend the senate
tomorrow, but would make no promise.

Kansas City, June 10.-All calcula-
tions of the weather bureau river eX-
perts as to the duration and extent of
the flood at the junction of the Kaw

San Francisco. June 10.-Testimony
tending to prove the Justification of
the books of the California Safe De
posit and Trust company, of an effort
made to remove one of the state bank
commissioners who was inquiring too
closely into the standing of the bank,
the hypothecation of securities placed
in the keeping of the bank as security
for loans. the banks sale of the secur-
tiles, finally to secure money to be
used in financing companies controlled
by the bank, was shown at the trial
of Walter J. Bartnett, during the di-
rect examination of J. Dalzell Brown,
former general manager Of the bank
today.
According to the testimony, of
Brown a local representative OF E. F.
Hutton and Co, of New York pur-
chased some of the Cotton securities
on May 13. 1907. but that Bartnett was
responsible for the deal although it
was actually carried out by other Of
ficials of the bank and Allan Griffiths,
a brother -in-law Of Bartnett
remarkable part of the testimony
of Brown was made during the after
noon 10 the effect that Bartnett per-
suaded him that he was guided and
controlled in all his actions regarding
the affairs of the wrecked bank by
the spirits of Jay Gould, Coils p.
Huntington and other financiers of
other days. on the advice of Bartnett
who alleged that he was directed by
these spirits. Brown said he resigned
as president of the company, and Dav-

many contests will probably be ap-
pealed. Talk centered largely around
Henry NJ Daugherty, of Columbus,
Ohio. who arrived in the city today.
naugherty is slated for credentials
committee from his state and ii was
the general gossip today that he may
be chosen chairman of the committee
wheE it is made up next Tuesday.
Il don't believe the credentials COM
mittee win be ready to report to the
convention before Thursday June 1S,
said Mr. Daugherty 1T IS quite GER
tain that the report will be handed to
the convention on Thursday morning.
In that case the delegates will be able
TO proceed with the nominations, and
should be able to complete their work
before adjournment that day.
There was a sudden cessation of ac-
tivity today regarding the vice presi-
Dental situation. This was largely
due to an announcement made by

seemed satisfied wfth the results of
their work thus far. No announce
ment was forthcoming from the head
quarte-< established yesterday for
John HAYS Hammond.
An indefinite rumori which could
not be verified, but which was none
the less persistent, prevailed today to
the effect that Governor Hughes
would not permit his name to go be-
fore the convention. This rumor,
coupled with an Associated Press dis
patch from New York in which Timo-
thy L. Woodruff. chairman of the New
York state central committee, eX-
pressed himself as believing that that
state was entitled to the second place
on the ticket if Hughes is not given
first place, led to much discussion as
to whether or not the governor of New
York could not be induced to accept
the vice presidential nomination.
