managers maintaining that they car
ried the regular convention. and have
the regular delegates to Chicago.
President Tafts managers claimed
today a total Of 274 delegates chosen
for him. Col. Roosevelt's manager
credits Mr.. Taft with but 36 delegates
and gives 81 to Col. Roosevelt, while
"a are listed as uninstructed.
A conference was held In Washing

MAKES ADVERSE REPORT
ON CONDUIT ROAD BILL
Secretary of War Disapp'-- )
proves Improvement Sug-
gested by Mr.. Rayner.

Solely on account of the great ex-
pense involved, the Secretary of. War
has reported adversely on the bill in
troduced by Senator Rayner Of Mary
land appropriating $4,000 to continue
the Conduit road along the Potomac
river from the Anglers Club House to
the Great Falls. In SO doing the Sec
retary adopted the views of Col. Lang
the District water supply system, on
the subject. indorsed by Gen. BiXby,
chief of engineers Of the army.
Views OF Col. Langfitt.
1.-The work contemplated" said Col.
Langitt in his report on the bill.
would be a very difficult piece of road
construction. Neither time nor funds
are available for preparing a careful
estimate. but from the data at hand it
Is believed that the cost Of the road
contemplated would be in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 for labor and mate
rial alone.
1T would be impra cticable to build the
road wholly on Washington aqueduct
property, and. therefore, some adjacent
property would have to be purchased or
donated for the purpose. The proposed
road would make a very attractive drive
along the Potomac river as a part OF a
boulevard along the banks of that stream.
Of Small Value.
TT would be of no great value to this
Office in the operation or maintenance Of
the aqueduct, as the present road would
fill sufficiently well all it's purposes pro-
vided it were properly graded and sur
faced The work of grading and surfacing
the present road is part Of that work
for which estimates have been submitted
to Congress and would cost about $4,000.
If the new road were provided for by
Congress and constructed within rea-
sonable time, that $4,000 would be
saved
