SITUATION AT CHICAGO

President Taft gained DO more votes
in the Republican National convention
Yesterday through the settlement OF
contest cases by the national commit
tee. 1t was day of Taft victories
exclusively. In the case of the Cali
sornia, Arizona and Michigan con-
tests, the Roosevelt forces made a
fight and voted their full Strength
against the Taft delegates. In the Cal
ifornia case they secured a roll CALL
losing Is to 81; in the Arizona con-
test, they failed to get roll call ana
in the Michigan case none was asked
although they voted against seating
the Taft delegates at large.
Apparent irreconcilability of dill
fercnces between Taft and Roosevelt
leaders borne on rising tide of charg
es of bribery. theft and accusations
last night threatened to preciplate de-
cisive developments before the open
ing of the national convention next
Tuesday.
Prominent men on both sides adj
mittcd the situation had become so
acute: that almost anything might nap
pen within the next few days.
There is a possibility of a bolt by
the Roosevelt forces, and the organl-
cation of "progressive' party II
President Taft is to be renomlnated'
The Roosevelt managers have tax
on up a scheme to have electors IN
Roosevelt states vote for him in the
electoral college, if Taft is the noml-
nee. This would throw the election IN
to the House which is evenly DIVIDED
Roosevelt announced yesterday al
ternoon that he is in favor Of woman
suffrage in this country, and the plat
form which he will submit to the CHI
caro convention will contain an UNI
couivocal declaration to that effect.

each eight feet square and executed
especially for this purpose.
A feature of these decorations
which the committee in charge are
particularly proud of is that every
yaru of bunting used has been fire
proofed. The re-proofing preparat-
ion was mixed with the dye and has
not changed the appearance of the
cloth subjected to this process. AL
though the cotton cloth used in it's
natural state is very inhammable, the
fire-proofed bunting will not blaze
even when thrown into the fire. The
cloth will CHAIR, but only in places to
which a fame is directly applied.
The use of this fre-proof bunting
in building constructed of stone,
brick and steel has not, however, pre-
vented the convention committee
from taking other precautions against
a possible fire. The hall is provided
with an unusual number of exits, and
the fact that the main floor is on
level with the outside street is re-
parded as another valuable factor OF
safety.

4 steel trs1sses of the curved roof. This
|has been accomplished by suspendlng
from the roof beams arched trusses
| Of wooden framework which have been
covered with bunting. The spaces be-
tween them have been filled in with
bunting so as to prevent an unbroken
cloth ceiling which at a distance looks
more permanent than its temporary
use demanded. The ceiling is cream
,colored paneled with gold.
The construction. of this false cell
ing and the draping of the walls and
Eirders and the installation of the
flags, pictures and party slogans
which the interior decorations occupl-
ed Id men for more than month and
cost $1,000. Thirty-four thousand
yards of cream, gold and white bunt-
ing have been used and 5000 yards
of red, white and blue. To sew these
strips of cloth together six seamstress
es drove their sewing machines eight
hours day for two weeks. Three
hundred flags have been used.
The balcony ratings are fashioned
with national colors and at the base
of each arch descending from the roof
is the insignia of some state or terri
tory. The speakers stand is covered
with red white and blue, with the col
ors of arms of the State of Maryland
banked in front. Most CONSPICUOUS OF
the portraits that adorn the walls are
paintings of Washington and Jefferson
