DEMOCRATS WAITING
 REPUBLICAN ACTION
TEMPORARY OFFICERS WILL NOT BE CHOSEN UNTIL NoMlNAT-
 ION IS MADE AT CHICAGO.

Baltimore, Md, June 12.--Word came from New York tonight that National Chairman Norman E. Mack of the National Committee would not be nere with Secretary Urey Woodson until tomorrow, when the headquarters of the National Committee will be formally opened,
 r. was announced that Edwin Hen derson of Detroit would make speech seconding Governor Harmon's nomination. no other speakers to second Governor Harmon's nomination have been selected.
 Plans were made today to bring the headquarters of Speaker Clark to this city either the last of this week or the first of next week.
 National Committeeman Edwin O. Wood of Michigan said today his dele gation is made up of Harmon. Wilson. Clark and Underwood men. Mir Wood said
 T had expected that the committee on arrangements of which am a member, would have met before this to select temporary officers of the con vendon, but after all, the selection of tlS AclApOidiy tHdiIHudH ana lUe pre- paration of his speech will depend largely on what the republicans do in Chicago so there will be plenty of time. I haven't the slightest idea who will be the temporary chairman and I don't'believe any other member of the committee knows either"
 Over 15.000 applications have been made for positions as attaches. Each national committeeman will suggest the names of those he desires appoint ed
 With the exception of the national committee officers, no one will be per mitted to enter tlhe convention build- ing until the opening session of the convention.
 A social feature of the convention will be reception given by Mayor and Mrs. James H. Preston of Balti- more at their residence to the dele gates and alternates and their families on the evening of June 25.

paign marked by ruthless disregard .of justice and fair dealing on their part"
 "The rape of California" was the key phrase of the Roosevelt statement on the committees action in the fourth California district contest
 George w. Perkins declared this action of the national committee pres aged a Roosevelt victory in the con vention.
 If they keep this up" he said "the nomination of Roosevelt will be unanimous. They have stolen these two delegates from California as a man who steals red hot stove steals"
 Late tonight, after repeated con- ferences, the Roosevelt leaders an nounced that the mass meeting set for Friday afternoon had been post poned to Monday night. No reason was given for this change in the date of holding the Roosevelt demonstra tion. There was considerable spec ulation as to just why the date had been changed to the night before the formal opening of the convention.

refused to appear before the national | committee, saying he would not try
 the title of stolen property before the thief who stole it.
 T have before me the list of 37 1 Taft national committeeman wAo thus
 presented Mir. Taft with two dele
 gates stolen from the people of Cal ifornia by the national committeeman at the request of the henchmen of Mir. Patrick Calhoun. Of these 37
 national committeeman who thus robbed the imense majority of the
 Republicans of California of their rights, four represent Alaska, Ha- waii, the Philippine Islands and Por- to Rico, who don't vote for the pres | ident at all Twelve represent Dem
 ocratic states none of which voted l for MT. Taft at the last election.
 Then there come 14 who represent | the Republican states. every one of
 which has repudiated Mir. Taft at the
 primaries this spring, with the ex- ception of Massachusetts, which, 1 however, repudiated MT. Crane, I (committeeman) This makes a total
 of 30 out of the 37 Taft members of | the national committed There re main but seven men from Republi- 1 can states and of the seven states in
 six no primaries were held this spring.
 and the Republican voters hal no chance to express their wishes.
 Those men who are endeavoring l to wreck the Republican party by l trying to pack the national convention with men not elected to it as dele-
 gates, are men just repudiated by the Republicans of their own states,
 whose official position in the Re publican party comes to an end within one week.
 These men claim to be regulars
 and to speak as if opposition to them means bolting the Republican party.
 Tt is they who are now irregular. It is they who are now profoundly
 disloyal both to the Republican party and the cause of good citizenship.
 They are bolting from the Republican
 party at this moment Every de- cent Republican must be loyal to
 the Republicans of California, who, by 77,000 majority elected their dele
 gates, and they can only be loyal to
 the Republican parCy by repudiating the action of the 37 members of the national committee, who, by their votes in the matter have shown their profound and abiding disloyalty to the party, which in theory they repre- sent and which in practice they have betrayed.
 "l don't for a moment believe the convention will ratify this action by
 the national committee, for to do so
 would be to betray the cause of the i, people, to he false to the fundamental principles of good citizenship and of
 American democracy and to wreck he Republican party

RELIEF FOR
 SUFFERERS
HUNDREDS ARE HOMELESS IN VICINITY OF VOLCANIC RE
 GION ON ALASKAN ISLANDS.
VILLAGE IS BURIED IN ASHES
In Some Instances Houses Are Bur led to Depth of Twenty Feet No Fresh Water or Food Ob-
 tainable in that Section.

Cordova, Alaska, June Wireless messages received today from the revenue cutter Manning, in Kodiak harbor, and from the Alaska Packers Association fishing stations at Kalull, Chignik, and Nabnek, said that there had been no report of loss of life on the island
 No word has been received from the settlements on the mainland at the foot of Katmai volcano, where the greatest suffering exist whether or not any of the people of that sec tion survived the eruption
 Capt. Kirtland w. Perry of the Man ming reported no more eruptions had occurred and that the air was slowly clearing of smoke and ash The refugees aboard the Manning have regained confidence with the return Of normal air conditions and are leav- ing the ship to endeavor to reach their former homes, which lie in ruins. The people on the island have found it difficult to make their way about, the ashes in some places be- ing from 20 to 30 feet deep.
 Nearly all the houses are in ruins or uninhabitable, because of the ash es. which drifted through every crew ice, making useless stores of food and clothing.
 The problem of feeding the desti- tute is a serious one. Efforts are be- ing made to reach the government experimental farm near Kodiak, which was stocked with large herd of inn ported cattle and sheep. These, if found in fit condition. will be used for food The only water the people at Kodiak are using Is that distilled from sea water by the Manning.
 At the fishing stations of Kaluk, Chignik and Nakek, no loss of life occurred. It is feared the fishing sea- son will be complete failure, be- cause Of the polluted waters. Total darkness covered the entire section about the canneries on the shore of Shelikoff strait for 40 hours, while detonations from the volcano shook the ground.
 No game has been seen on Kodiak island since the eruption began and it is probable that much animal life was destroyed.
 The revenue cutter Manning is still feeding the destitute at Kol1iak. Small relief boats, sent to Afgonak island, just north of Kodiak, and to Cold Bay, Katmai, and the settlements on the mainland, have not returned and conditions there are not known.
