PERSONAL TAX
 VICTIM TWICE
 ARRESTED HERE

Charles Church of Howe stret. one of the ten men arrested last week Tor neelecting to pay personal taxes, fared worse today than on the occasion of his first arrest, when Patrolman Fin negan, acting under the orders of prosecuting Attorney Delaney, brought Church to police headquarters the sec ond time and locked him up in de- fault of bail.
 Church represented that he was an honorably discharged member of the National Guard. and therefore not amenable to the law covering the per- sonal tax. This plea made a favor able impression upon Judge Foster, who ordered Church to show his ere- dentials to the personal tax collectors and } appear in court last Saturday with the idea in view of finding the man not guilty.
 The personal tax collectors report ed to Delaney that. he had failed to comply with the order of the court, and today he was arrested a second time. Church is an inspector in a local factory. Until recently he was waiter employed at various lunch rooms He had been unable to fur nish bail. for his. appearance in court up to a late hour this afternoon.

Response to the Invitation to as- sist in the building of large $300.v0d auditorium as planned by the Wednes-, day Afternoon Musical club, has been fair but not altogether gratifying to members of the club who had hoped that more hearty support would bo given the project!

 Dennis F. Lynn. of Oklahoma, sit ting under a proxy. moved to lay the Borah motion on the table. Borah protested bitterly. While he was, do- ing so., Chairman Rosewater put the motion and on a. viva yoce vote de-. clared the motion carried.
 Borah was 1ivid with rage. He continued to insist on talking and shouted.
 1T know you have steamroller here," he said, s'bnt I certainly will get myself on record before you crush me out of business. Il don't want it cushioned but I certainly do intend that you shall know just where I stand here"
 At this point an objection was made to Borah continuing and he turned to the great mass of committeeman and, shaking his fist at them, he fairly shouted:
 "You- will make no progress here until you permit me to get this rec ord straight
 The objection was withdrawn. Borahe repeated his original statement that the committee should keep it's record straight and then sat down.
 The work of hearing the Alabama contests was then continued
 Oscar R. Hundley, for the Roose- welt contestants in Alabama, attacked the present Republican organization in that state which, he said, was dominated by federal office holders. He insisted that the Roosevelt dele gates were the only regularly elected delegates representing the rank and file of the party while he said the Taft contestants were only representa- tive of the federal officeholders who only wanted spells and not to bene- fit the party" His argument was de- voted entirely to an attack on the tenality of the election of the Taft men who, he said, were "airy noth- ingness seeking a habitation and a name.''
 While the paid attorneys presented their legal arguments, the majority of the members of the committee listened only half heartedly and Chair man Rosewater was finally compelled to ask the members to pay a closer attention to the proceedings. Senator Borah, Frank B. Kellogg, A. M. Stevenson of Colorado, and some of the other committeeman occasionally interrupted with ques- tions but most of the committeeman contented themselves with reading the printed briefs.

ROOSEVELT WILL GO TO

New York, June 7.-Colonel Roose- welt will go to Chicago next -Wednes- day and will bolt if his delegates are not seated in the convention accord ing to the positive statement, today, of one of the Colonel's closest politi- cal advisers.
 He said that all arrangements had been completed, that plans were un- der way for Roosevelt convention and that there was no further doubt as to the Roosevelt program. He said Roosevelt would make the fight personally and to the last ditch, that he would not accept the tactics of the national committee and that he stood ready to carry his fight directly 10 the people.
 When the positive assertion that he would go to Chicago was put up to Colonel Roosevelt, he said:
 .'I have not heard of that and I do not know whether will go or not.'

COURT
 DECIDES AGAINST
 COMMERCE COURT

Washington. June 7-The supreme court, today, emphatically settled the feud between the commerce court and the interstate commerce commission over their respective jurisdiction. That the commerce court has no authority to issue injunctions to stop "negotia- tive'' orders of the commission was declared by the high court in two de- cisiOns.
 Such a power" Justice White said, would be to wipe out the entire his- tory of the interstate commerce com- mission act and do violence to the very purposes of that measure. It would create disorder and confusion"
