WORK Of SCHOLARS
IN PHILIPPINES SHOWN
Articles Made by Boys and
Girls on Exhibition at
Public Library.

An exhibition Of industrial methods
from Philippine schools. prepared by the
bureau of insular affairs, has been loaned
to the Public Library of the District of
Columbia, and Is now set out for public
view The exhibit comes from Columbia
University, New York city. where it was
shown for the edifcation Of the students.
The work done by boys and girls of the
public schools, shown in the exhibit, is
their regular classroom work. The plan
Of the school authorities in the Philippines
is to make every boy and girl who COM
pletes even the primary course of study
an effective factor in the commercial
affairs of the community.
Included in the exhibit is some Of the
finest embroidery and lace to be found
anywhere, which was turned out by the
pupils of the primary schools. The dis
play of baskets, mats and hats shows
conclusively that the pupils are able to
make commercial products, as these ar
ticles are in every way equal to those
made in factories.
Articles Made by Family.
The manufacture of articles in the
household gives to Philippine Industrial
education a practical point of view not
found in other countries. The proportion
Of population employed in factories is
very small. Cloth, furniture, kitchen
utensils and the like are made by the
family for its own use. Hats, mats,
slippers. cloth and similar materials are
made in the homes and sold through
brokers, entering into both domestic and
foreign trade.
The exhibit is displayed in glass cases
on the second floor Of the Public Library
building, and may be inspected every aft
ernoon and evening until o'clock. Pedro
Aguardo. a Filipino, connected with the
bureau Of insular affairs of the War De-
partment. will be in attendance every aft
ernoon to explain the objects exhibited.
A noted educator from one of the great
universities in the United States, on his
return from visit to the orient, in COM
menting on the work of the bureau of
education in the Philippines. and particu-
larly on the efforts being put forth to
develop vocational training among the
Filipinos, said:
II am certain that the idea of indus
trial education as 1t is here developing

ROOSEVELT STRENGTH
MORE THAN ESTIMATE.
MANAGER DIXON SAYS

Senator Dixon, the Roosevelt manager,
| says:
"Col. Roosevelt in his statement under
+ estimates his real strength on the first
ballot. To throw additional light on the
statement made by Col. Roosevelt In
Ohio yesterday, the following facts may
be pertinent:
This morning I have positive informa-
ton from Roosevelt leaders in New York
that three more delegates from New York
! state have given their assurance that
| they intend to vote for Roosevelt on the
| first ballot. This makes twenty-four del
egates from New York who will vote for
! Roosevelt on the first ballot.
Last night 1 received a telegram from
| Union City, Tenn, from the chairman
of the republican convention Of the ninth
district. held yesterday, saying that On
trict republican convention was held here
and elected Col. Poston and State Treas
urer Taylor delegates to Chicago with In
structions for Taft. On account of irreg-
ularities in the call for that convention,
a second convention had to be called,
which was held today. The same dele
gates to the first convention in March
today reassembled and reelected the
cago convention and instructed them to
vote for Col. Roosevelt. The convention
was enthusiastic for Roosevelt
| "On Sunday l received letter from
Alabama signed by two delegates to the
Chicago convention, elected in the early
March convention in that state, at which
| time they were instructed for Taft.
These two delegates, both of them white
men of high standing in Alabama, in
| their letter to me say that a poll of the
delegates to the convention which elected
them shows at this time that nearly
all of them are for Roosevelt, and have
instructed them to pay no attention to
the first instructions, but ask them to
vote for Roosevelt. The two delegates
write me that they will do SO.
ION Monday 1 received another letter
| from Alabama, from another instructed
Taft delegate from that state. saying
that 50 per cent of the republicans Of
| his district were for Roosevelt, and that
| he and his colleague from that district
intend to vote for Roosevelt on the first
ballot"

ROOSEVELT CLAIMS
OVER 500 DELEGATES;
EXPECTS NOMINATION

DAYTON, Ohio. May l6.-Positive pos
session of the presidential nomination
was yesterday claimed by Theodore
Roosevelt. After hearing from California
and receiving several confidential tele-
grams he asserted that Taft could not
be renominated. Later he issued this
definite claim on his own behalf:
1.-The number of delegates necessary
to nominate is $50. OF the delegates al
ready elected. without counting the con-
tested delegates. I have more than $40.
OF the delegates yet to be elected I am
confident 1 win receive enough to insure
my nomination on the first ballot"
This is the first time the former Pres
ident has dared to say, even to his
friends, that he had any confidence OF
defeating President Taft In connection
with this announcement 1t may be said
that since his victories in Massachusetts,
and Maryland the former President has
been receiving pledges from doubtful and
uninstructed delegates, which have added
decidedly to the open strength which he
won in convention and primary.
Although no figures are put out by
Roosevelt in his statement, 1t can be
said unofficially that his tabulation OF
votes shows that he has 522 OF the $50
necessary to make nomination.
Ohio. New Jersey, Tennessee and South
Dakota are among the states that are
yet to be heard from. The former Presf-
dent believes he will secure among them
far more than the seventeen votes which
are requisite to insure absolutely control
Of the national convention.

MEETING DELAYED BY
CONTEST DISCUSSIONS
Roosevelt Forces Expect to
Control the West Virginia
Convention.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, May 16.-The
West Virginia republican convention
which is scheduled to assemble here this
afternoon is expected to be delayed an
hour or two because of the failure last
night of the state committee to dispose Of
contests involving thirty-eight seats in
the convention. The committee was
called to meet this morning and 1t was
expected that compromise delegates would
be decided upon.
Another matter to claim its attention
was the proposition of former Senator
Davis Elkins of Elkins. w. Va. for q
statewide primary TO be held June 4, for
the selection of United Sta1ss senator
to succeed Senator Clarence Watson.
Mr.. Elkins filled out the unexpired term
in the United States Senate of his late
father, Stephen B. Elkins. He is OPP
posed in his plan, it is stated, by a num-
Der of republican leaders who have been
mentioned in connection with the Office.
The friends of Col. Roosevelt are ex-
pected to organize the convention, pre-
pare the platform and name the six dele
gates at large to the republican national
convention. Preparation of the platform
occupied the attention of party leaders
during the greater. part of the night, and
although no draft of it was made public
this morning it was stated that 1t would
indorse the republican national platform
of 1905. particularly that part relating to
the administration Of Col. Roosevelt, and

Are Modelled After Those Worn in

Caps of the summer pattern for all
members of the police force are ready at
Saks & Co.'S, which has the contract for
providing the headgear.
This years caps are modelled after those
worn In New York. They weigh five and
q half aunces each, the lightest that ever
have been worn by policemen in the Dis
trict of Columbia.
For the unmounted members of the
force the cap is entirely of blue. a deep
sky blue. For the bicycle riders and
the horsemen of the police force the
crowns of the caps are white. This white
crown will treasure no dirt. A little soap
and water. and dust and dirt and soil are
quickly eradicated.
The caps have polished leather peaks.
They are about four inches high and
graceful in outline. The crown of the
cap to be worn by the mounted police
men has an overhang. The caps for the
footmen and bicycle men are no less
artistic. but are different.

possible success could be counted on ones
fingers. AS an offset to this situation
voluntary statements have been made to
President Taft's managers by actual dele
gates that for every delegate secured for
Mr.. Roosevelt in the south by such meth
DDS as have been used in his behalf an
equal or a greater number will be turned
from Mr.. Roosevelt in the northern

of the republican party will insist on fair

that moral and legal obligations shall be
obeyed on both sides to the letter, or they
can be broken with equal freedom on
both sides.
Only Candidate Without a Chance.
TT is. therefore, certain that in no
substantial way can Mr.. Roosevelt's big
bluff of yesterday, which also undoubt-

to use his own picturesque phrase, he is
