 The Alabama Roosevelt delegation Will arrive Sunday, headed by J. O. Thompson and N l., Steele They will be at the and Mrs. Hundley ale at the Congress, Al that place today the former federal judge said the situation for Roosevelt suited him exactly He believes that Taft has no possible chance.
 The unprecedented visit of the sage of Oyster Bay is viewed by the Taft forces IS being sign of realized weakness. The Roosevelt crowd think the coming of their hero means his personal de- termination to fight the steam callope to the last ditch The crux of the situation Is the southern delegation. If the dele gates remain faithful Taft has Roosevelt's goat However. one negro delegate in a burst of amazing reformation bolted to Roosevelt yesterday and cried out to the Taft managers Take back yo' gold" He had been furnished with expense money, so 1t was claimed His letter to Manager Mckinley was the political sensation yes- terday.
 How many will turn to Roosevelt, like the negro from Mississippi, is entirely problematical.
 It is thought that when the eonven- lloH opSHo lueadd3 iHt pteaii ipliei VIII strike some snags heretofore unencoun- tered.
 The dope Is that Albert Beveridge of Indiana will be the vice presidentiaYn nee provided Roosevelt bosses the con- vention. His name was sprung today and as no other person seems to want the job he may land 1t.
 II will be recalled that the aforemen- toned Albert was beaten to an unrecog- nizable pulp In the recent democratic tidal wave which swept over Indiana as well as the remainder of America. The Ms sissipp floods in comparison were like unto one morning bath It is said that "A. J. B. is T. R.'s political affinity. hence his name in connection with the vice presidency.

Chicago. June 15-The Thigh spot" in the anti-convention situation came this afternoon when Col Theodore Roosevelt arrived from New York, received a well come almost hysterieal from crowds of delegates and admirers. who cheered him all along the way from the Lake Shore railroad station to the Congress hotel, and then went into conference with his gen eral staff."
 Colonel Rooseveit's advent upon the scene of the factional conflict had been so widely advertised and the subject of so much advance comment. both friendly and hostile, that its sensational aspects were, if possible, exaggerated in the minds of all clements in the ensemble of interests The result was that when the first ex- citement had subsided and he had made his brief speech from the hotel balcony the crowd came to realize that after all the world was still revolving with it's wonted smoothness, that the convention was still more than two days distant and the question was still one of who would have the $40 delegates necessary for majority and for a nomination. So mat ters quieted down to a degree which in the hours between and O clock had seemed hardly possible, and the leaders of the factions returned to their more or less interrupted task of eorralling dele gates.

National Committee Through

The national committee at 9.15 p. m. finished its hearing of contests for seats in the temporary make up of the conyen- tion, after disposlng of cases involving 25I delegates. It was generally believed last night that every case today would be de- cided in favor of the Taft claimants but out of the days grlst came four more delegates for Roosevelt. A dispute be- tween two Roosevelt delegations from the Fourth North Carolina district also was settled.
 After the committee had finished it's work Director Mckinley gave out a table, claiming a total of 59O delegates for Taft. 50 more than necessary for his pomina- tion and conceding only 4i2 to Roosevelt
 The Roosevelt people declined to give out any figures. The Mckinley table gave Taft S3 of New York's % delegates. bur at the very moment when he was giving it out the New York delegation was in caucus and former Lieutenant Gov ernor Timothy L. Woodruff was deelar- ing that IS delegates from Brooklyn would follow him into the Roosevelt camp. It was reported that the Brooklyn delegates were anything but willing to accept MT. Woodruff as a "bellwether'' and that in fact, nobody knew what they would decide 10 do. Conservative esti- mates had allowed Taft not more than $ votes from New York Late in the even ing after the New York meeting State Chairman William Barnes.

Tentative Campaign


 The Roosevelt plan of campaign was mapped out tentatively tonight at meet ing of the formre President and his chief lieutenants. The conference was an ex- tended one and was held behind doors guarded by Colonel Roosevelt's personal guard of six-foot strong men.
 When this meeting was begun, with the formalities of his welcome 10 Chicago over. the colonel got down 10 his resl work. To the conference he summoned Senator Dixon. James A. Garfield of Ohio, William Finn of Pennsylvania, George ". Perkins of New York, Gif- ford Pinchot of New York. Arthur I1ill of Boston, Governor Stnbbs of Kansas Governor Glasscock of West Virginia. Governor Johnson of California, Governor Hadley of Missouri, Frank A. Munsey of New York and George L. Record of New Jersey
 One of the first questions to be taken up was the temporary chairmanship of the national convention. The action of the national committee in the Texas and Washington cases. if was understood, also was discuseed

Frank A. Munsey, who left the confer ence room for a few minutes. said:
 "So far nothing has been done that can be announced.
 Among the late arrivals at the con- ference were Francis J. Heney and John C. Capera.
 Colonel Roosevelt himself was urged by Alexander r. Moore of Fittsburg to enter the race for the temporary chair nanship. but he declined. Senator Borah seemed to be the favorite of the Roose- welt leaders, but his eligibility was brought into question He is not dele.

Know Their Position


 With the sessions of the committee st end the Roosevelt forces for the first time were able to know exactly their position in the lineup of dele gats.
 Colonel Roosevelt dined with Mrs Roosevelt and then, before the confer cnce was begun. met a large number of delegates from various states.
 After the conference had been on for two hours Senator Borah of Idaho, who had not been in the original con ference, was sent for and immediately went to Colonel Rooseyelt's head quarters.
 The Idaho senator, who had been considered as the probable choice for the Roosevelt leaders for temporary chairman. remained with the Roosevelt conferees until late hour. It was learned that the conferees brought ID the subject of the temporary chair r1anship and took up the matter where It was left at a previous conference several days ago. At that meeting and notwithstanding reports of dissatisfac- ton over Senator Borah's attitude on some of the contests, 1t was the opinion of nearly all the leaders that the Idaho senator would be the logical man to oppose Senator Root.
 Clifford Pinchot, who left the con ference before it's conclusion, said that the whole situation was heinz dis cussed and the plan of campaign being arranged.
 Are they discussing the plans for opposing Senator Root for temporary chairman9 9'' he was asked.
 "Everything Is being talked over. but am sorry cannot tell you what has been decided. The only reason I can't do so is that no conclusions have been reached

CHAPTER TX.
All Aboard!

All ApOdTOI
 The starting of the train surprised the ironical decorators in the last stages of their work. Their smiles died out in a sudden shame, as it came over them that the joke had re coiled on their own heads They bad done their best to carry out the time honoreG rite of making a newly mar ried couple as miserable as possible and the newly married couple had failed to do it's share
 The two ieutenants glared at each other in mutual contempt They had studied much at West Point about ambushes. and how to avoid them. Could Mallory have escaped the pit they had digged for him? They looked at their handiwork in disgust. The cosy-corner effec- of white rib bons and orange flowers, gracefully masking the concealed rice-trap, had seemed the wittiest thing ever de yised. Now it looked the silliest.
 The other passengers were equally dOwncast Meanwhile the two lovers in the corridor were kissing good. byes as if they were hoping to store up honey enough to sustain their hearts for a tree years fast And the porccr was studying them with perplexity
 lie was used, however to waking people out of dreamland, and he be- gan to fear that if he were discovered spying on the lovers, he might sui fer. So he coughed discreetly three or four times.
 Since the increasing racket of the train made no effect on the two hearts beating as one, the small matter of cough was as nothing Finally the porter was compelled to reach forward and tap Mallory's arm. and stutter:
 Scuse me. but co-could git b-by?" The embrace was united and the lovers stared at him with a dazed, where-am-I? look. Marjorie was the first to realize what awakened them. She felt called upon to say something. so she said as carelessly as If she had not just emerged from a young gentleman's arms:
 "Oh, porter, how long before the train starts?"
 Trains done started. Missy" This simple statement struck the wool from her eyes and tbG Gotton from her ears, and she was wide enough awake when she cried. "Oh, stop it-stop it!"
The Prescott daily news., 1912-04-11

1.-TWO fifty-dve a. m.?" the wretch exclaimed.
 Two fifty-hve a. m.. yassah," the porter repeated, and wondered why this excerpt from the timetable should exert such @ dramatic effect on the luscious-eyed Fosdick
 He had small time to mediate the puzzle, for the train was about to be launched upon its long voyage. He went out to the platform, and watched a couple making that way. As their only luggage was a dOg-basket he sup posed that they were simply corhe to bid some of his passengers goodbye. No tips were to be expected from such transients, so he allowed them to help themselves up the steps.
 Mallory and. his Marjorie had tried to kiss the farewell or farewells half a dozen times, but she could not let him so at the gate. She asked the guard to let her through, and her beauty was bribe enough.
 Again and again, she and Mallory paused He wanted to take her back to the taXicab, but she would not be so dismissed. She must spend the last available second with him.
 I'll go as far as the steps of the car" she said When they were ar rived there, two porters, sleeping car conductor and several smoking saunterers profaned me tryst. So she whispered that she would come aboard, for the corridor would be a quiet lane for the last rites.
 And now that he had her actually y0lted against letting her go. The vision of her standing on the plat form sad-eyed and lorn. while the train swept him off into space was uncomfortable. He shut his eyes against it, but it glowed inside the lids.
 And then temptation whispered him it's old Why not?" While it was working in his soul like a fermenting yeast, he was saying:
 ITO think that we should owe all oar misfortune to an internal taxi cabs breakdown"
 Out of the anguish or her loneliness crept one little complaint:
 If you had really wanted me, you'd have had two taXicabs."
 "Oh, how can you say that? 1 had the license bought and the minister waiting"
 Hes waiting yet"
 And the ring-tnere-s the ring" He fished it out of his waistcoat pock- ct and held it before her as a golden amulet.
 "A lot of good it does now" said Marjorie You won't even wait over till the next train"
 I've told you a thousand times. my love- he protested, desperately. if don't catch the transport. I'll be court martialed If this train is late, I'm

for words to have you marry one or those mahogany sirens"
 He held out the apple. Better come along, then"
 But how can l? We're not mar ried."
 He answered airily: "Oh, I'm sure there's a minister on poard."
 But it would be too awful to be married with all the passengers gawk- ing. No. I couldn't face 1t. Good bye, honey"
 She turned away, but he caught her arm: Don't you love me?'
 ITO distraction. I'll wait for you, too"
 Three years is long wait
 But I'll wait, if you will"
 With such devotion he could not tamper. It was too beautiful to risk or endanger or besmirch with any danger of scandal He gave up his fantastic project and gathered her in to his arms, crowded her into his very soul, as he vowed: I'll wait for you forever and ever and ever"
 Her arms swept around his neck, and she gave herself up as an exile from happiness, a prisoner of a far off love:
 Goodbye, my husband-to-be.
 Goodbye my wife-that-was-to-have- been-and-will- -be-maybe."
 Goodbye"
 "Good-bye."
 "Good-bye."
 Goodbye"
 T must go."
 Yes, you must"
 One last kiss"
 "One more-one long last kiss"
 And there, entwined in each others arms. with lips welded and eyelids clinched, they clung together, forget ting everything past, future or pres ent. Loves anguish made them blind, mute and deaf.
 They did not hear the conductor crying his All Aboard!" down the long wall of the train. They did not hear the far-off knell of the bell They did not hear the porters banging the vestibules shut They did not feel the floor sliding out with them.
 And so the porter found them, en- gulfed in one embrace, swaying and swaying. and no more aware of the increasing rush of the train than we other passengers on the earth-eXpress are aware of its speed through the ether-routes on its ancient schedule.
 The porter stood with his box-step in his hand and bl!rked and won- dered And they did not even know they were observed

lost. If you really loved me you'd come along with me"
 Her very eyes gasped at this as founding proposal.
 ''Why, Harry Mallory. you know it's impossible"
 Like sort of benevolent Satan, he laid the ground for his abduction: You'll leave me, then. to spend three years without you--out among those Manila women"
 She shook her head in terror at this vision Tt would be too horrible

THEIR OWN"

Editors of Life:
Gentlemen: A Mr.. Read, of
Cheyenne, writing in your last issue,
declares the Vatican purely spiri-
tual court and that the PapaI
authorities long ago abandoned
temporal power.
1t is about time for Mr. Read to
brush up on affairs of the Vatican
and to better acquaint himself with
the aspirations of his Catholic Holt
ness. Mr.. Read seems to think that
Rome dropped the struggle for tenn
poral authority at the Reformation.
Our Protestant forefathers did sue
coed in stirring the Papacy to some
pretense at reform, but not to that
extent. The penetrating light of
civilization during the following
ages did break the temporal power,
but only after a struggle. Rome
fought stubbornly every foot of
ground!
Was it before or after the Refor-
nation that the struggle for Roman
Catholic temporal supremacy came
in France and Holland? How about
the recent fight and overthrow In
Portugal? Has the Vatican ever
sanctioned the temporal authority
of the Italian court at Rome? What

stituents of States to be moulded

meaning the Roman Catholic
Church?
What are these principles?
Church-run schools and religious in
liberation are two Of them. The
clergy come out openly for the first.
They are just as strong for the Sec
ond in spite of anything Cardinal
Gibbons has said to the contrary.
Where and when did the Papacy
sanction liberation except under
