NEGROES THREATEN TO BOLT
Angry Over Treatment by Republican
National Committee.

Chicago, June 9.-Threats to bolt
the Republican party for a new col.
ored organization and violent attacks
on the Lilly White" delegates of the
South, William H. Taft and Frank
Hitchcock, his campaign manager,
were made In over a dozen churches
In Chicago. More than 10000 people
stood up and cheered the score of
speakers who addressed them. Reso-
lutions asking the Republican party
to see that the negro was given his
constitutional rights and the full priv
ileges of national delegates were
adopted. The resolutions stated that
the appeal would be directed to the
Republican national convention and
asked the people to aid the colored
voters In securing their rights when
1t came before that body for consider
alton
Unseated delegates from many
parts of the South, members of the
Constitutional league, the largest ne
gro organization in the country, and
prominent negro citizens of Chicago
were responsible for the meetings.
They were prompted to action by the
throwing out of the negro delegates
by the national committee allies of
the Lilly Whites" The threat is
made to throw the solid negro vote
against Taft il unfair discrimination
Is tolerated.
Prior to the mass meetings in the
churches seventy-six negro and white
Republicans from the South held a
caucus at the Great Northern hotel
to determine upon course of action
to take against the national commit
tee regarding the contested seats.
Every effort was made to keep the
caucus secret, but it was learned
from authoritative sources that they
decided to accept the plans of the
allies and carry their troubles to- the
convention itself.

while nearly fifty persons have re-
ceived serious injuries, some of them
being dangerously hurt. The loss may
reach 100000. Eight Nebraska towns
suffered from the effects of the lorna
do, Geneva, Fairfield and Carleton be-
ing the worst wrecked In addition to
these Franklyn, Hebron, Shockley,
Byron and Riverton were sufferers.

The suicide of James Duncan brings
to a tragic end rather remarkable

louisville, KY. He was thrifty and
careful and his rise in his chosen line
OF work was rapid. He became mil
lionaire turfman and his stables were
famous all over the South.
Reverses came, however, and after
he had lost his fortune his wife Sc
cured q divorce from him. Then he
left Kentucky for Minneapolis, where

TOLD TO MAKE NO CHANGE
Message Declares That Those Now
Falling at Chicago Are the Ones
Who Have Been Making War on
the Administration.

Washington, June Amy doubt
that may have existed as to whether
the administration and Secretary Taft
approve of the methods pursued by
Frank Hitchcock, the manager of the
Taft interests in Chicago, In dealing
with the contesting delegations be-
fore the national committee was set
at rest by the dispatch of telegram
by Secretary Taft to Mr.. Hitchcock
directing him to make no change In
the methods he is pursuing. Presi.
dent Roosevelt does not conceal his
satisfaction at the work being done
in Chicago. The administration view
is disclosed In the following utterance,
which exactly repres ents not only the
views of the president but of Secre-
tary Taft:

QUAY'S PLAN REVIVED.
Proposal to Reduce Southern Repre-
sentation IN Conventions.


sentation IN Conventions.
Chicago, June 9.-The anti-Taft peo-
pie have evolved a plan to prevent
Southern delegations from hereafter
controlling Republican conventions
They declare they will submit it t.
the convention next week The idea
is identical with the plan proposed
in the Republican national convention
yf 1900 by Senator Quay of Pennsyl
tania, but which failed of passage at
the time. This plan, If adopted, will
give to each state four delegates at
large and one for every 10000 Repub-
lican votes cast at the last preceding
presidential election. The effect
would be to cut off approximately 100
delegates from the Southern states and
add approximately $50 to the North
ern states All of the Northern states
would gain excepting Massachusetts
and Nevada, the latter being consid
cred as a Northern state by the back
ers of the plan. These would lose one
delegate each. The states gaining
most heavily in representation would
be Ohio, which would increase by
seventeen, and Indiana, which would
increase by eleven.

Aged Man Dies of Starvation.

Minneapolis, June 9.-Rather than
ask for aid Edward w. Jordan, aged
seventy, starved to death. He was
found lying unconscious on a sidewalk
and died within an hour after being
removed TO the city hospital 1t was
at first thought that his death was
due to heart disease, but later devel-
opments showed that he was without
money and was too proud to beg. As
he was in poor health he was unable
to work.
