Chicage.-William Howard Taft
again heads the Republican ticket
for president.
James S~choolcraft Sherman Is
again the party's nominee for vice
president.
Mr.. Taft was nominated on the
first ballot at $50 Saturday night,
receiving SCI votes, or 81 more than
q majority Of the votes in the con-
vention.
Mr.. Sherman was the only man
placed in nomination for second
place, and he received SGT votes. The
rest were scattering or not cast.
Flattened out completely by what
his advocates denominated the steam
roller, Col. Theodore Roosevelt's
candidacy was abandoned by that
gentleman himself, and a few hours
before the balloting on nominations
began he sent to the convention hall
a request that his delegates should
refrain from voting on any other
questions whatever. This request
was obeyed by 344 delegates, who
responded present but not voting"
OF the others, lot cast their votes
for Roosevelt because they felt
bound to follow the instructions OF
their constituents.

ident Is shown In the subjoined table:

SuTHmInSs ".
Roosevelt Men Quit the Fight.
The story Of the last day of the
convention Is one Of much disorder,
Quarrels on the floor, sporadic bursts
of enthusiasm, and, during part of the
long session, swift work by the we'll
oiled Taft machine. Making their
last futile fight on the seating Of the
contested Taft delegates from Wash
ington and Texas, the Roosevelt dele
gates voted against the platform sub
mitted by the committee on resolu-
tons and then devoted themselves to
rather riotous behavior, laughter at
the Taft speakers and even at Chair
man Root, and vigorous refusal to
vote.
The ~colonel's advice to his forces
was read to the convention by Henry
J. Allen Of Kansas and included a
bitter denunciation Of the actions of
the majority. 1t was hooted by the
Taftites, but as the table shows, 1t
was effective in most instances.
Among the states that disregarded
Roosevelt's request, Illinois stood out
most prominently. That 50 of its
delegates voted for the colonel was
due to state political conditions.
Pennsylvania created a diversion by
casting two votes for Justice Hughes.
In the mix-up Senator Cummins
grabbed of seven unexpected votes
from Idaho. And La Toilette also
benefited by the conditions, getting

ton to his 2s from Wisconsin and 10

PEACE IS ASSURED

Compromise Programme Agreed

The compromise programme agreed
upon in the Dominican Republic for the
preservation of peace was announced at
the State Department last night. The
early return to the United States, of the
American commissioners is predicted.
Congress, in extra session, will meet
to-day to elect a successor to EIadlo
Victoria, who now heads the Dominican
government. This successor will un-
doubtedly be Archbishop Nouel who has
been agreed upon for the office Of pro-
visional President
The American commissioners, W. r. s.
Doyle and Brig. Gen. Frank Mcintyre,
will return to the United States as soon
as they are satisfied that the proposed
provisional government is established on
a satisfactory basis and peace is re-
stored. The 100 marines on board the
naval transport Prairie. in Dominican
waters, and the gunboats Wheeling and
Petrol, the yacht YanktOn, and cruiser
Nashville will also return to American
waters, with the exception of one vessel,
which will probably be left in Dominican
waters for some time to come.

CLAYTON URGES
UTILITIES BILL
Advocates Before President Passage
of Gallinger Measure in Behalf
of Citizens Federation.

In conference with President Taft yes
terday. William NICK. Clayton, chairman
Of special committee of the Federation
of Citizens Associations, which is inves-
tIgating the proposed merger of public
utilities. urged Mr.. Taft to recommend to
Congress the passage of the public utili-
ties measure now pending in the House.
Nil Clayton had something to do with
flaming the Gallinger bill passed by the
Senate at the last session, and il was at
his instance that the bill was introduced
Mr.. Clayton told the President that the
federation was a unit in favor of the
measure. He said many in the District
had been aEitating the subject for a long
time. and that the GalIinger bill came as
near meeting the requirements of such a
bill as any that could be devised. He
asked the President in behalf of the cti-
Zens of the District to give the matter
his best attention and TO lend his aid in
having the bill passed.
Mr.. Clayton went over with the PTesi-
dent the present status of legislation on
the subject and explained local COndi-
tiOns as he sees them. He declared that
the time was ripe for the passage of the
bill: that public interest demands it, and
the people of the District expect it.
Mr.. Clayton also referred to the idea
favored in the Federation of Citizens
Associations that the District should
have delegate. preferably one appoint
ed by the President, who should repre-
sent tire local interests in committees
and on the floor of the House. Mr.. Clay
ton told the President that such man,
of broad-minded views, who should de-
vote his time to the study and advo-
cacy Of District matters, would not only
serve the local public interests, but
would be OF vast assistance to the menu
bers of Congress in the preparation and
enactment of wise District legislation.
1t is understood that President Taft
became much interested in Mr.. Clay
toms statements and offered to give
them attention.

MORGAN MAY MOVE
ART COLLECTION
New York May Lose Exhibit Unless
Addition Is Built to Metro

FINANCIER PLANS TO HOUSE
COSTLY WORKS IN HARTFORD
May Be Placed in Connecticut City
in Connection with Memo
rial. to Father.

New York, Nov. 25.-An intimate
friend and adviser of years standing
of J. Pierpont Morgan to-day gave out
a detailed statement of the attitude of
Mr.. Morgan in regard to rumors that
he intends permanently housing his
magnificent art collection in Hartford.
Conn.,. unless an appropriation is made
by this city to enable the Metropolitan
Museum of Art to build a new wing for
the Morgan collection
From recent conversations with Mr..
Morgan" said this friend, Il am
enabled to state positively that the
wonderful works of art in Mr.. Nor
gan's collection will be forever lost
TO this city unless the board of esti-
mate and apportionment appropriates
the S15O,OOO to construct the necessary
new wing within six weeks. Mr.. Nor
gan would gladly pay for the new wing
himself. but. unfortunately, the law
prohibits any Individual citizen from
putting up building of any descrip-
tion on park land.
Collection Is Priceless.
The value of the Morgan collection
has been placed at $50, 200, 900. In real
ity. 500, 200, 900 could not duplicate 1t.
1t is absolutely priceless. l can give
you an idea of its value when l state
that it is worth more than the COM
bined collections at present in the mu-
scum. There are wonderful miniatures,
paintings-such as the Duchess of Dew
Onshire-and other individual items
upon which no value can be put. They
are absolutely unique and infinity
could not buy them. All are now stored
in crates at the museum and may be
seriously affected If they are not given
plenty of air
when Mr.. Morgan determined to
bring his art collection to America tre-
raeEdous efforts were made to get him
to reconsider. 1t had been announced
that Mr.. Morgan was bringing the COL
lection to America in order that his es-
tate might not be forced to pay a tax
ct his death. This tax would amount
10 million and half sterling, or
s.. $4,000.
England Makes Proposition.
when Mr. Morgan's determination
was made known, he was informed that
II he should consent to have the treas
ures remain in England a special meet
ing Of Parliament would be Immediately
called, and the laws of England would
be amended so that his estate would not
be forced to pay one penny as a death
tax. England, you see, was willing TO
voluntarily renounce S7,50O.O 600 to keep the
collection, and vet New York cavils at
Cne-tenth that sum.
Mr.. Morgan has done absolutely moth
ing TO influence the board of estimate.
He is a man who acts rather than talks
At Hartford, in connection with the me-
mortal he is building to his father. he
VIII have facilities for the collection,
aru he is absolutely in earnest when he
GTa hat will fhn
collection to Connecticut within six
weeks unless the city acts.
And once in Hartford" concluded the
Informant. the collection will remain
there. Mr.. Morgan has made up his
mind to that"
