EIGHT VOTES FOR TAFT
FROM NORTH CAROLINA
Chairman Morehead Says
Roosevelt Will Not Get
Solid Delegation.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHARLOTTE N. c., April 13.-North
Carolina, which has been conceded by the
Taft management to Col. Roosevelt, will
give President Taft eight Of it's twenty
four votes in the national convention at
Chicago, according to Chairman John M.
Morehead, who makes the announcement
today, following q hasty local conference
and Geographic and telephone confer
ence with other state leaders, which re-
suited quickly after the discovery that
under the new plan of organization Of the
party in the state the vote from precinct,
county, district and state must be pro-
rated among the candidates.
Under the old plan the convention
would have instructed the delegation solid
for the candidate receiving the largest
number Of votes. 1t is not improbable
that the Roosevelt followers will attempt
to have the old plan enforced over the
Taft minority. Their only appeal, how
ever, will be to the chairman, Mr.. More
head, who is Taft supporter. His de-
cision could be overruled by a two-thirds
vote, but an appeal would then be taken
to the national committee, which. with a
Taft majority, it is asserted. would decide
in favor of the Taft men.
The Taft supporters. including large
element of the business interests of the
state, are jubilant over the turn affairs
have taken.

Roosevelt Ignores Hint
Not to Discuss Politics

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, April 13.-A-
though he received a broad hint not to
talk politics, Col. Roosevelt spoke for
an hour last night, and it was all politics
The forbidden speech was delivered before
the Commercial Travellers Club of Spring

ence thereto is expressly prohibited by its
constitution
During the Introductory remarks the
colonel sat quite still. looking straight
ahead OF him, with a Qufzzical expression
When he arose he said:
know you wished me to come to Mas
sachusetts to tell you the reasons for the
faith that lies in me. Mr.. McKechnie has
said your association wishes entire free
dom OF speech. That is no jest You wish
any man to speak with frankness
and l could not come here and re-
frain from speaking of politics, because
with me politics represents the deepest
convictions as to the vital needs of the
country. and Of course 1 shall speak to
you OF them"
Mr.. Roosevelt then went on to say that
the present policy of the government to-
ward corporations is wrong, and it is fu-
tile to- try to control big business" with
lawsuits.
1T is bad to have policy Of strangling
business" he said, 'but it is worse to
have policy of sham strangle''
He then explained his ideas in regard to
the courts, citing several laws which he
said, the courts had unjustly overturned

LONDON. April 13.-In view of the
announcement that a prevention Of
cruelty to oysters campaign is to be in
augurated by the president OF the Ala
bama state oyster commission, profess
sor Of physiology at q London medical
school today said: THE oyster has GER
tain nervous structures and undoubtedly
has a certain amount Of nervous sensi-
bility. Its nerves can be readily dissected
and that 1t can respond to touch is
shown by the closing Of the shell If one
taps on 1t when 1t is partly open.
1T is impossible, however, to say
whether its nervous sensibilities are Of
sufficiently high development to enable
1t to experience pain. In any case it
would be hard to find q more sudden or
more nerciful way Of killing an oyster
than by eating him.
