ST. PAUL. MINI, June 13.-One or
the most startling facts in connection
with the sentence OF Mathew McNabb,
who pleaded guilty TO white slavery,
here, was a letter OF intercession
from Albert p. White. former Governor
of West Virginia. McNabb was ac-
cused OF enticing a 16-year-old girl to
st. Paul, and after living with her
for a time. deserted her.
Judge Smith Mcpherson sentenced
McNabb TO three months in the coun-
ty Jail and hned him $1,000. in default
OF which he will serve thirty days
longer.
The sentence aroused a storm OF
protests demanding hat Judge Nc
Pherson be removed from 81. Paul.
One OF the points raised In defense
OF Judge McPherson's sentence was
that McNabb had formerly been prom
inent in politics.

CHICAGO, June 13.-Eight dele
gates for Colonel Roosevelt and
eighteen for President Taft marked
the today's game of the two chief
rivals for the Republican presidential
nomination from the decision Of con-
test cases by the Republican natIonali
committee. In addition. the commit
tee settled disputes between rival
Roosevelt factions in two districts OF
North Carolina, thus clearing the col-l
onel's title to votes from those seo.l
tions.
II was a day of victories, but vic,
tories achieved with the full acqui-
escence OF the Taft majority In the
national committee.
Missouri's contests, which threat.i
ened another battle between the Taft
and Roosevelt factions. in which the
lines would be closely drawn, were !
compromised so effectively that tho
committee was unanimous In giving
Roosevelt eight and Taft six of the
contested delegates from that state.
Decisions Thursday.
The decisions today were:
For Taft-Two each from the SEQ
ond. Third. Fourth. sixth. Seventh.
and Eighth Mississippi districts: two
each from the Third Seventh and
Fourteenth Missouri districts.
For Roosevelt-Four delegates at
large from Missouri: two each from
the Third and Ninth North CaroIlna
districts. Total. 10.
At the end OF a week OF constants
work over the contested delegations
the committee has given Taft a totsl
OF 159 delegates and Colonel Roosevelt
a total OF 13.
In the Ninth North Carolina district
the committee seated the McNinch-
Green delegation, but the contest did
not involve presidential candidates. as
both delegations were instructed for
Roosevelt
Before taking up this contest the
committee considered the Third dis
trict contest and seated the two
Roosevelt characterization Butler
and W. s. OBJ. Robinson.
Clear Up Other Cases.
When adjournment was taken as
3:15 o'clock II was the belief that
ether compromises could be effected.
TO dispose OF some OF the remaining
contests without the formality OF ar
guments. In the Missouri cases. az
soon as Governor Hadley's Roosevelt
delegation had been seated. confer
ences were undertaken amongst the
Missouri factions. which resulted In
the dividing OF the contested delega-
tions between Roosevelt and Taft
Similar conferences are expected 70
result IN the consolidation Of several
of the other state cases before the
committee resumes work tomorrow.
These compromises will not affect
Texas or Washington, Il n said. but
may take IN several OF the other
states. The committee will settle an
other factional lght N North Carolina
tomorrow and viii then take up the
Third Oklahoma district.
Contests Remaining.
The contests remaining involve two
delegates from North Carolina. eight
from Tennessee. thirty from Texas.
twenty from Virginia. fourteen ron
Washington. two from Alaska. two
from Oklahoma. two from South Caro-
lima. and two from the District of
Columbia.
