TAFT GETS
COMMITTEE
COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS
VOTE FAvORABlY ON
ALL CONTESTS.

CHICAGO. June 17.-Secretary Taft
clinched absolute control Of the ma
tional convention today when after a
session lasting Is hours the credentials
committee by an overwhelming major
ity ratified the action Of the national
committee in every contest over seats.
There was no real fight in the commit
tee. The proposal to endorse the action
of the national committee by single
vote was opposed on the ground that
it would appear to stifie fair hearing OF
the cases. So the committee went over
the 10 contests offered by counsel for
Cannon, Fairbanks. Hughes and Fora
ker. The first vote, on an Alabama
contest, was 3S to favoring Taft.
showing how completely he is in con-
troll
The committee decided to submit re-
port to the national committee recon-
mending: THAT the temporary roll of
delegates to the convention as prepared
by the national committee be made
permanent
This makes it certain that Taft will
have over 700 votes on the first ballot.
There is little prospect of q fight over
seats on the floor of the convention.

conditions have, in turn, affected pro-
foundly society and politics. They have
led. among other things. to combina-
tons OF capital and labor on scale and
with power never BEFORE witnessed.
They nave opened the way to accumu
latlons of wealth in masses beyond the
dreams of avarice ana never before
contemplated by men.
The social and political problems
thus created are wholly new. 1t is a
fallacy to suppose that because the
elements are old the problem itself
must. therefore, differ only in degree
from those which have gone before. The
elements may be old, but the problem
presented by a change in the propor-
ton of the elements may be, and in this
case is, entirely new.
Great individual fortunes and rich
men are. it is true, as old as recorded
history. Nearly two thousand years
ago the tax farmers OF Rome formed a
trust for their own profit and protec-
tion; the English people. three centu-
rles ago. revolted against the patents
and monopoGsts. forestallers and spec-
uIators in the necessities of life were a
curse IN our revolution and bitterly de-

Gompers Strong Words.

! III presenting lne plank Gompers
said in a speech that a revolution would
be the result in this country if labor
unions were destroyed. or if they were
treated on the same plane as criminal
trusts and monopolies. He said:
| I'VE don't want to eat the employer
as an appetize- before breakfast. nor
as dessert after. but we want fair
treatment and We are going to get it.
We are not anarchists. or destroyers of
property. We do not represent that
idea.
I'VE are as loyal to the institutions
of America as anybody. but we want to
retain the right to organize and take
steps to meet the enc-oachments and
oppression of capital.
Wade Ellis. of Ohio. asked Gompers
| if it were true that there had been
only % injunctions against labor in
the last five years.
Il deny that" said GOmpers. "The
man who made that statement knows
it is untrue
Il made that statement" announced
T. A. Emory, general counsel for the
national manufacturers association.
An exciting scene was prevented by the
action of Chairman Hopkins. who told
Gompers to proceed.
Gompers then produced documents
from the records of the house of rep
resentatives including % injunction
cases explaining that they We're Sc
lected from hundreds.
Emory then asked the committee to
examine the injunction cases referred
to by Gompers.
Emory said: In some cases injunc-
tions were issued for the purpose of
restraining men from parading mining
camps to prevent others from going to
work"
This ended public hearing and the
committee went into executive ses-
sion
The expected hitch over the anti in
junction plank blocked the proceedings
of the convention this afternoon. After
a stormy session the subcommittee on
resolutions took a recess until O'Clock
Then members said the entire session
would be taken up with the anti-in-
junction matter. 1t is Practically GER
tai, that the subcommittee will not be
-eadv to report to the regular commit
tee before 4 o'clock.

LABOR MAKES
HARD FIGHT
Insists on Recognition By
the Republicans
COMMITTEE HOLDS SESSION
GOMPERS TELLS DELEGATES
WHAT ORGANIZED LABOR
WILL EXPECT.

CHICAGO. June 17.-Fired with new
hope and with much confidence by the
and Presiden, Roosevelt labor leaders
are today conducting campaign more
vigorously than ever to obtain an anti
injunction plank. James Van Cleave.
president of the national association of
manufacturers. is preparing to use des-
pcrate means to defeat the plank Van
Cleave insists that the plank will turn
all voters who have money invested in
this country against the republican
party. He is busy with the telephone
and telegraph lining up big CONNER
cial organizations urging them to bring
influence to bear on delegates from
there respective localities Gompers
is equally busy on the other side. There
is little doubt that battle for recogni-
tiCn of labors demands for what labor
considers Just protection will be an
event which will give the convention its
place in history.
The proposed plank would provide
that injunctions should not be is
sued without hearing and would pledge
the party to change the law in such g
way as to prevent the issuance of sum-
mary orders by federal judges in STRIKE
cases.

The Labor Plank.

i The labor plank adopted by the ex-
alton of Labor was presented to the
sub committee of the committee on
resolutions of the convention today.
Labor leaders ask that it be placed in
/ the platform. The plank submitted by
Gompers is in the following language:
"The republican party is in accord
with Lincoln when he declared that
| Labor is prior to and independent Of
capital: labor is superior to capital and
deserves more consideration The re-
, publican party has been staunch
defender of property rights, yet it
holds personal rights. and human liber-
ty must Of necessity be entitled to first
considerations
eve therefore pledge the republican
party to the enactment of laws by
congress, guaranteeing to the wage
earners, agriculturists and horticul-
turists Of our country the right of or
ganized effort TO the end that such as
sociations shall not be regarded as H.
legal combinations in restraint of
trade,
I'VE pledge ourselves to the enact
ment of law to prohibit the issuance
Of injunctions in cases arising out of
labor disputes, and that in no case shall
an injunction be issued whenathere ex-
lists a remedy by the ordinary process
of law"
The plank also demands legislation
which shall provide that in procedure
for punishment for contempt of court,
the party cited for contempt shall, when
such contempt was not committed in
the actua, presence of the court, be
entitled to a jury trial.
Continuing the plank says:
I'VE pledge the republican party TO
the enactment Of an amendment ex-
tending the existing eight-hour law to
all government employees, all work
whether employed by contractors or by
sub contractors, doing work for or in
behalf of the government and we pledge
the republican party to the enactment
of law by congress providing. as far
as federal jurisdiction can extend, for
a federal employees liability act for in
jury to body or loss of life suffered b.
employees"

Sense of Smell.

It Is said that the sense of smell Is better developed in men than in woin- en. In human beings. however, 1t Is but slightly developed as compared with the lower animals. The reason for this becomes apparent when the structure of the skull of a dog or a cat is examined Observing the nasal passages of either of these creatures. It is found that the so called turbinated bones are twisted and folded in com plicated fashion, so as to make a great extent of surface in a small space. The interior of the labyrinth thus formed is lined with the mucous membrane that contains the extremities of the nerves of smell A section through the turbinated bones of a bear, which has particularly keen sense of smell, resembles honeycomb. Tn human being the turbinated bones are poorly developed, so that the surface of mu- cous membrane is comparatively small. The sense of smell is particularly acute in some fishes, as the sharks. The olfactory membrane of a big shark. if spread out, would cover a dozen square feet.

Pockets Were Full of Kittens

Lieut.. Henry Ebert took the desk at the Delaney street police station yes terday morning and began his work of making up the court returns. The room grew chilly, so he got an old coat out of tho back room and threw it over his shoulders
 As his pen WAS scratching busily over page of the blotter he was startled to hear a strange childlike cry, so close to him that he could not tell whence it came. The room was empty, except for Alice, the station house cat, and she was purring softly beside the chair. As Ebert glanced back at his desk kitten was sprawling on the blotter. He felt a movement in his coat pocket. and found there another kitten. He put the second kitten with the first and then felt in his other pockets. Two more kittens wer found.
 Alice immediately took possession of the kittens when they were placed on tho desk, and if was plain that she was their mother.
 A year ago Alice brought seven kit tens into the world. That time she SC. lected Capt. Handy's dress hat as their nest.---New York Times

A Trsasdy of Niaaara.

The story of Niagara is full of strange tragedies. One of the most dramatic of them is as follows: A hun dred yards above the brink of the American falls rock ten feet square projects for foot above the water in midstream. One morning the inhabit. ants awoke and saw a man sitting on 1t. The noise of the rapids prevented verbal communication. They did not. do not and never will know how he got there. He stayed there thirty-six hours. The people telegraphed to Buff falo, and the railway company sent one excursion train after another for thirty-six hours to see the man on the rock. They painted signs and stuck them up for the man to read, saying, We will save you" Two hundred yards above there is a bridge. From this by ropes they fioated rafts with provisions to him. At the end of his stay big raft came for him to get on. What they were going to do with him If they got him in this seething rapid Is not known. He tried and failed and went over the fall. and that is all.

.GRUNN RECITAL
 GREAT SUCCESS

From both an artistic and financial standpoint the recital at the Methodist church on Thursday evening was an unqualified success. Every seat in the church was occupied, and the large and enthusiastic audience testified to an appreciation of the efforts of the ladies of tho Wednesday club, and of the Episcopal Guild, which made pos. sible the evenings pleasure.
 Mir. Grunn proved himself to be an artistic performer, Interpreting. with equal ease the tender Nocturne or the brilliant swinging passages of Chopin Polonaise.
 But it was in the rendition of his own compositions that Mir. Gum re- eeived the most insistent applause, hay ing to repeat his exquisite Etude in D fat, besides giving delightful encore.
 As he played his desci 'ptive compo sition By the Seashore," one might not only feel the salt tang in one s face, and hear the beat of the waves upon the shore, but underneath all this that under current of sadness which comes with the roar of the surf. It is only talent--perhaps only genius-which can reveal those intangible emotions which lie beyond things seen of eye, and heard of ear.
 Mrs. Butz proved herself thorough musician, both by her rendition of her songs and the selection of the songs themselves. Her wide vocal range en- ables her to sing effectively, both the light tones of raised pitch and the deeper contralto tones with equal ease.
 The delicate, singing touch of Mrs. l.. G. Coombs, who accompanied Mrs. Butz, showed to great advantage, add ing to the beauty and finish of the numbers, which were encored to the echo, the only disappointment of the evening being experienced by the audi ence when they realized that Mrs. Butz had not prepared an encore.
 The readings of Mrs. Brooks, which diversified the musical program, were exeellently done. Her first rendition, "Trouble in the Amen Corner" was pathetic picture of misunderstood age, and to this selection Mrs. Brooks was forced to give an encore, comic scene From the Justice of Peace Court, while to her second selection, "No. Collect roarously funny "Wicked Piccaninny.

Tombs as DweIIinqs,

It is surprising to strangers to find Egyptian families occupying some of the tonbs which have been excavated and abandoned. It seems uncanny to see babies playing cheerfrlly about the doors of the tomb houses and to watch chickens running in and out as they do at the mud dwellings. When questioned about the tombs a drago- man said that those occupied as homes had been tombs of ordinary citizens Of no value as show places for tourists. As some of them have several rooms extending into the rock and as they are cool in the hottest days of sum. mer and warm In the cool days of win. ter, they are altogether desirable as homes. The Egyptians do not share the horror of dead bodies felt by Eu- ropeans. Children run about with pieces of mummies, and if they can. not dispose of them to tourists they play with them. A mummiiied foot or hand is so common in Luxor that one may be purchased f'v a few cents .-Leslie's Weekly.
