NO CONGRATULATIONS FOR HIM.
When California Contestant Wired
Home That He Won.

San Francisco, June 15.-Four mat
ter OF fact words that slid peacefully
enough over the wires from Chicago
have burned all the insulation off the
composure of the Union League club
and when F. H. Tryon, president OF
the club awoke in Chicago this morn
ing he came into imm ediate personal
contact with voltage.
Tryon is one of the two Taft dele
gates from California seated by the ma
tlonal committee on contests. In jubi-
lation over the decision in his case, he
wired to the club Have won my con-
test
The telegram was posted on the club
bulletin board, where it Immediately
began to attract the attention of Re
publican members who did not agree
with their president. Their annoyance
found expression last night in the fol-
lowing night message to Mr.. Tryon at
the Congress hotel, Chicago:
Your telegram addressed to the
Union League club, stating that you
had won your contest, duly received
and posted. Owing to the fact that
Roosevelt carried the state by 1900
over Taft, we regret exceedingly that
the national committee decided in
your favor; and as many of the Union
League members are strong supporters
of Roosevelt, we feel that we cannot
offer you our congratulations. We re-
spectfully remain your fellow MEM
berS."

Bell Hop Complains of 'Nearness'' of

I never found business SO slow" he
said. when the delegates fight among
themselves the tips go glimmering.
This year you can run your legs
off and you're lucky to get thank
you. I'll bet I've carried enough ice
water to float a couple of ships, with
small reward. Some one forgot him
self yesterday and handed me a dime.
I'm thinking of having it framed.
Conventions at one time were the best
in the land for picking up tips but
now there is nothing but big bills in
sight. I guess the delegates don't
bother with quarters and dimes. I'd
rather be hopping for a teachers

San Francisco, June 15-The Re
publican state central committee sent
the following telegram Friday to Vic
tor Rosewater, chairman of the ma
tionaI committee at Chicago.
THE Republican state central COM
mittee of California denounces your
shameful attempt to unseat two
Roosevelt delegates elected by ma
jority of 1900 votes. Every descent
Republican in the state be he for Taft
or for Roosevelt is astounded at the
political conspiracy. The election of
the entire Republican delegation was
never questioned in the state of Cali
fornia. There was no contest of any
sort. Taft committeeman and Taft
papers accepted the result and declar-
ed repeatedly and publicly there could
be no honest contest. A fictitious
controversy was created solely and
alone by Patrick Calhoun, indicted
here with Abe Ruef for bribery and
theft, and we prosecute men for
those thefts in California You have
sanctioned and ratified similar thefts."
All Republicans in California en-

says:
Crop advices, considered as whole,
are favorable, and industrial opera
lions, particularly in the iron and steel
trade, are active, but trade reports
manifest irregular tendencies Still, by

ness spell progress, though it seems
certain that current distribution by the
larger interests is f1tful, weather vag-
aries as well as mid-season influences
having retarding effects. Retail trade
itself has been aided by relatively fav-
orable temperatures. Retail dealers are
disposed to keep stocks down to the
bone, wherefore recorders are not of
conspicuous proportions. On the other
hand, there is more or less doing on fall
account and in textiles, offerings for
next spring indicate that sellers are
very firm in their views as to prices
But buyers are adverse to loosening up
while political matters are pending.

Man Asks Incarceration to Escape
From the Convention.

Chicago, June 15.-Olaf Magnus. 3S
years old, at his own request, began
serving a 80 day sentence in the city
workhouse as a refuge from the tur-
bulent scenes of the approaching Re
publican national convention.
Magnus told Municipal Judge Hines
that his mind had almost become un-
settled by the stress of the situation
and he asked to be sent to jail for the
rest of his life.
He told the court that he was
afraid some of the men at the
Coliseum, where the convention meets,
would kill him.
"a sentence for life is a good, long
time" Judge Hines advised. How
would it be if we sent you to the
Bridewell till the convention is over 2,
Magnuy objected on the ground
that the time was too short but final
ly compromised on 80 day sentence.
