Presidents Control Of National
Committee is Said to be
a Certainty
R0sEwATER'S SEAT SECURE
Leader Of Ex.President Says Forces
are Not Behind Howells
Contentious
Hr~-f~1 IN s. 'Tt- RI v1d

Chicago, June 5.---A plan to meet
at once, the entire force of Col.
Roosevelt's fight to control the or.
ganization of the National commit
tee, by making permanent the tenn
porary organization, with Senator
Root as chairman, was partially
agreed to, today, by Taft leaders,
who are here for the opening session
of the national committee tomorrow.
The control of the National COM
mittee by Taft forces is said to be
certain by those friendly to the
Presidents candidacy. When the or
ganization meets at o'clock tomor-
row, to organize for the hearing of
contested delegates cases, the Roose-
welt forces will not attempt either
to seat X. B. Howell of Nebraska, to
succeed Acting Chairman Rosewater,
or to elect Roosevelt committee
man, as presiding officer for the con-
tests hearing.
Howells Claim Not Backed
Fresh from conference with Col.
Roosevelt. Oyster Bay, Senator Dixon
and National Committeeman Ward
of New York, made it clear that the
Roosevelt managers were not behind
the claim OF Howell to a seat Oh the
committee.
1t is said that Taft leaders regard
at least 35 of the 63 members of the
National Committee as favorable to
the President. r.".s
The ultimatum from Col. Roosevelt
that Senator Root must not be Sc
lected as temporary chairman, whien
was reiterated by Senator Dixon, on
his arrival here, was met by a
strengthening of the Taft forces in
opposition. The Taft leaders, de-
termined not only to adhere to their
purpose to seat Senator Root, but TO
call upon their forces to help make
him permanent chairman.

tives surrounded the house that
night.
About 10 o'clock Vogel came
out of the house. He called
taxieab. and drove to the Penn
sylvania station.
From there he drove to a house
on Eighth avenue, where he got
two steamer trunks, a valise, a
dress suitcase, handbag and a
steamer bag, and was joined by
a>woman.
A police guard was left around
this house, which probably will
be raided today.
Vogel and the woman re-enter-
ed the taxicab and drove to the
Hotel Elsemere, 884 Cortland
avenue, in the Bronx. There he
and the woman asked for a key
and went to aroom.
Four detectives followed Vogel
into the hotel, showed their stars
to Louis Mendscheim, the pro
prietor, and ordered him to show
them Vogels room.
Mendscheim, shaking with fear,
did so, and the detectives follow
ed him to small room at the end
of dark, musty corridor on the
third floor.
That's the room" " said Mend
scheim.
Martin S. Fay, detective from
the Central office, raped at the
door, and then suddenly threw it
open. Vogel and the woman were
standing near the bed, the yalise,

me all right"
VogePs shirt was lying across
the bed. He reached out as if to
pick it up. Instead, and with in
credible swiftness, he drew an au-
tomato revolver from beneath the
pillow.
Holding the revolver level with
his waist, VogeI swung it in a
semi-circle, pouring a hail of lead
at the officers.
Fay dropped, shot twice
through the abdomen. Men
scheim dropped, shot through the
right lung. Spider Allen, pri-
vate detective, but former Central
office man, dropped, fatally
wounded.
Vogel slipped another clip of
cartridges into the automatic,
and once more swung his terrible
weapon.
Luigi Gerard, private detec-
tive, fell into chair, holding his
bleeding side. William Butler,
waiter, who had followed the de-
tectives upstairs, dropped to the
floor.
Voge1, the master criminal,
turned the revolver on his wife,
who was trying to climb out of
the window, shot and killed her,
and then shot himself through
the head.
Vogel and his wife were in
stantly killed. Spider Allen died
in the hospital today. There is

Enid Maitland, girl of kind thai
Kirkby had never seen before, had
won the old mans heart during the
weeks spent on the Maitland ranch.
He had grown fond of her, and he did
not think that Mr.. James Armstrong
merited that which he evidently SC
overwhelmingly desired. Kirkby was
well along in years, but he was quite
capable of playing a mans game for
all that, and he intended to play it in
this instance.
Nobody scanned Enid Maitland's
face more closely than he, sitting
bumped up on the front seat of tho
wagon, onesfoot on the high break, his
head sunk almost to the level of his
knee, his long whip in his hand. his
keen and somewhat fierce brown eyes
taking in every detail OF what was 60

but little that came before him that

age; but surely fate had something
better in store for such a superb wom-
an. A girl OF such attainments and
such infinite possibilities, she must
mate higher than with the average
man. Perhaps there was a subcon-
seriousness of this in her mind as she
silently waited to be overtaken by the
rest of the party.
There were curious chances and
strange speculations in that little
company as they saw her sitting her
horse alone. A few moments before
James Armstrong had passed them at
a gallop he had waved his hand as
he dashed by and had smiled at them,
hope giving him a certain assurance,
although his confidence was scarcely
warranted by the facts.
His demeanor was not in consonance
with Ends somewhat grave and some
what troubled present aspect. She
threw OFF her preocCupation instantly
and easily, however, and Joined read
lily enough in the merry conversation
of the way.
Mr.. Robert Maitland, as Armstrong
has said, had known him from boy.
! There were things in his career OF
which Maitland did not and could not

! reflected, and Armstrong was after
all pretty good sort. Mr.. Maitland 8
standards were not at all those OF his
Philadelphia brother, but they were
very high. His experiences of men
had been different; he thought that

time reached years OF discretion, could
be safely entrusted with the precious
treasure of the young girl who had
been committed to his care, and fol

there were things in it OF which Matt

The Game Played in the Usual Way.

The Game Played in the Usual Way.
The road on which they advanced
into the mountains was well made
and we'll kept up. The canon through
the foothills was not very deep-for
Colorado-and the ascent was gentle.
Naturally 1t wound in every direction,
following the devious course of the
river, which it frequently crossed from
one side to the other on rude log
bridges. A brisk gallop of half q mile
or so on a convenient stretch OF COM
paratively level going put the two in
the lead far ahead of the numbering
wagon and out of sight OF those others
of the party who had elected to go a
horseback. There was perhaps tacit
agreement among the latter not to
break in upon this growing friendship,
or, more frankly, not to interfere in a
developing love affair.
The canon brosdened here and
there at long intervals and ranch
houses were found in every clearing,
but these were few and far between
and for the most part Armstrong and
Enid Maitland rode practically alone
save for the passage of an occasional
lumber wagon.
