OLD GANG DETERMINED
TO HANDLE CONVENTION

Powell Clayton is disgruntled be-
cause he failed recently to get a
job for his brother in Oklahoma.
BROKER of Connecticut is a New
York, New Haven & Hartford
railway man, and does not like
some things the department of JUS
tice has been doing to their railroad
trust. Dave McLvane of Kansas is
ex-senator Burton's friend, and
Burton is just out Of jail. Hart OF
Iowa is controlled by the anti
Cummins, alias the railway, people
in Iowa. Scott is the tool of Hale
and Aldrich, and the only other
member Of the subcommittee is
Harry New. who finds himself in a
minority of one.
Pres. Roosevelt wrote to the ma
tional committeeman suggesting
the name Of Sen. Beveridge for
temporary presiding officer. Bev-
eridge was also endorsed by Taft.
So the question is, who will dictate
this matter, Taft and his majority
of delegates, or Hale, Scott ct al.
anu lucll IcdClAOudIy lIiSnuS.
Several courses are being con-
siderej. The national committee
may turn down this recommends
ton of it's subcommittee. Should
1t fail to do this, the convention
might even take the matter into its
own hands. though this would be
unprecedented Still another
course, and one likely to be fol
lowed. will be to permit Burrows to
deliver his pro-trust. Aldrich-
edited speech and then have some
friend of the Taft-Roosevelt ele-
ment deliver the real keynote
speech while addressing himself to
some minor parliamentary matter.
1t Is certain, in any event, that
the keynote speech will be edited
by Roosevelt and not by Hale and
Aldrich; so it will not make much
difference what Sen. Burrows pre-
pares to deliver as keynote
speech.

RIGHT AFTER
TIGERS NOW
INDIANS DO CRUEL BUT
GLORIOUS THINGS TO PRIDE
OF BUTTE IN OPENING GAME
THERE.

Is there anything that can now
stop the Indians in their sensation
al dash for the first place? If there
is it doesn't seem to be Butte. Over
there yesterday Butte sent out it's
speckled-faced, lank kid, Hardness,
because he's the best pitcher they
have and they wanted badly to win
their first game at home. But they
didn't.
Spokane won it for them by
score of 3 to 1. Killilay pitched for
Spokane and had it over Hardness.
That Hardness kid slipped it to
Spokane at Recreation park, but
they sure evened it up by straight
ening him out in his home town.
The Indians secured seven hits
off Hardness, he walked four and
struck out five. Killilay gave five
hits. walked four and struck out
seven.
Seattle tried their new pitcher,
Kurtz, from Portland, yesterday
and Vancouver made a sucker out
of him. Nothing he could throw
had twists that the Canucks
couldn't take out. The score was
Z to 5.
Dode Brinker repeated Rasty
Wright's trick at Tacoma yesterday
by allowing no hits nor runs. He
gave three passes, however Car
son twirled against him for the
Tigers and ordinarily would have
won. Score: Aberdeen 2, Tacoma 0.

special Correspondence to The Press
WASHINGTON, May 29.-The
selection of julius Caesar Burrows,
senator from Michigan, to be tenn
porary chairman and keynote"
speech-deliverer for the republican
national convention, is liable to be
kicked over by the Taft and Roose-
welt managers.
Burrows selection is part of an
.-rfriendly campaign of the "reac-
Iharies." whose purpose is to fol-
Hw this move with an effort to con-
troll the resolutions committee and
tot write a safe and sane" plat
form, which will be substantial
reputation of the Roosevelt pol
icies. Against this movement
Roosevelt will use all his influence.
Close friends of Secretary Taft
denounce the subcommittee selec-
ton of Burrows as a cheap trick"
1t was the understanding Of Taft's
supporters that no section of the
temporary convention officers
should be made until Taft's return
from Panama. A meeting had even
been arranged for the 25th OF this
month to agree on the keynote
speech man.
Senator Nathan Scott Of West
Virginia has been the chief con-
spirator in the plan resulting in
the announcement that Burrows
would be temporary presiding Of
flcer. Back of him were Sens. Aid
rich and Hale. The latter have
sworn the Chicago convention will
not be a Roosevelt convention"
They say they will tone the plat
form and read copy on the speech
to be made by the temporary pre-
siding officer.
To accomplish this end, it is now
learned they have put up job with
members of the subcommittee, APP
pointed to arrange the convention
preliminaries. most of whom hap
pen to be anti-Roosevelt in their
personal leaningS.
