gressive headquarters. were besieged with

came along however, with word of the
all-night battle over the negro question
and the narrow margin by which the
committee ousted the Mississippi negro
delegates from the convention. the col
onel reversed his earlier decision as to Sc
clusion and invited him In for a confer
ence.
Mr. Knox it was said. was anxious
over the nature of the report to be made
TO the convention today. The negroes
were unseated by a vote of II to Is in
the committee and claimed that an illegal
proxy was used to encompass their de-
feat.
The progressive leaders were anxious
today to avoid a fight on the floor OF the
convention and were bending all their en-
ergies to that end.
John Mitchell, vice president of the
American Federation of Labor, expected
to talk with Col Roosevelt this after
noon. The colonel also expected late to-
day to be busy with the platform makers
OF the convention.

FASTENING BARROW TRIAL.
Two More Days May End Taking Of
Testimony.

Los ANGELES, August 6.-Two more
days may end taking evidence in the
bribery trial of Clarence S. Darrow.
Little remains now in the way of tes-
timony. as the rebuttal evidence Of the
prosecution is expected to be without any
of the sensational features that have ac-
companied the cases-in-chief of prOsecu-
ton and defense.
Although the defense practically closed
yesterday when barrow left the stand.
the formal ending of the defendants
case was expected today with the call
ing to the stand OF Lincoln Steffens for
further cross-examination. District At
torney Fredericks gave no intimation Of
the phase Of the case which would be
the subject of Steffens' new inquisition,
but it was expected to be in relation to
the much discussed peace negotiations, :"
in which the magazine writer took an
important part.
1t was expected that John r. Harring-
ton and Bert HI. Franklin would be re-
called in rebuttal by the state.

Roosevelt Will Stand Pat.

Confronted with this decision OF the
credentials committee and the mass
meeting OF indignant negroes held here
last night TO protest against Col. Roose-
velts position in the matter, the negro
question today had the delegates in an
uproar. The colonel was determined to
stand by his announced views, and his
influence was seen in the action of the
credentials committee
The situation threatened a bitter fight
ON the floor of the convention should the
negroes adhere TO their intention of car
rying the contests TO that point
The negroes have found a number of
warm defenders among the white dele
gates and on the credentials committee
and although the great majority OF the
delegates desire to do exactly as is want
ed by Col. Roosevelt. there is a marked
division of opinion in the negro cases.
Miss Jane Adams of Hull House. Chi
cago. a member of the Illinois delegation,
was among those to take up the cause
Of the southern negroes.
Col. Roosevelt, however. was plain and
emphatic in the statement that he wants
the progressive party in the south to be
I'm the hands OF the whit<s. Early ef-
forts to get him TO comment upon the
Tedentials committee vote in the Mis-
sissippi case were vain.

portion of the money expended by
them in completing the deal for the
establishment of the Kennewick AGA

and the deal had to be closed in short
space of time, so these two gentlemen
put up the money. AS the bonus was
paid for public utility which is of
benefit to all, they feel that it is meet
and proper that they should at least
be partially reimbursed.

which had been standing for several
hours, was bit more anxious about
getting home than the driver, and
started up the road at great rate,
spilling Winner out at the first corner.
The horse then took to the N. P. tracks
