to maintain the four companies and
the amount has run down as low as
$11OO, less than the cost of keeping
two steady men.
The city cannot afford to be with
out the best of protection. Most of
the buildings in the city are built of
wooden material and there is always
danger of great confagration and
when this time comes the city should
be prepared. The volunteer COM
panies should be kept up to the
highest standard, and when men are
no longer able to give the work their
best attention or are out of the city
the greater part of the time, it
should be within the power of the
Chief to remove them from the SER
vice and put new men in their stead
The council, before they take action
should keep before them the fact
that one large fire will damage more
property than the cost of keeping the
present four companies for good
many years. There should be other
means to save without. weakening
the fire companies.

A POOR WAY TO SAVE

FoR some time the city council has
been thinking of cutting down the
number of men in the volunteer city
fire department in order to effect a
small saving to the city and a
meeting of the fremen was held
at the Commercial Club last
evening to discuss the ACCESSIBILITY
of the plan and it was the sense
of the meeting that it was false
economy for the city to attempt to
effect saving in this manner when
SO much property was in need of the
very best protection.
The Washburn fire department is
run about as cheaply as a department
of this kind can be run. Never has
it cost more than $17OO in one year

pinned number Of red and white hearts

chairs they brandished their fists and
shouted jeers and taunts at the speak
er. Their excitement communicated
itself to other delegates and soon the
whole hall was one vast volume OF
sound.
In the midst of ii all Finn arose
from his seat and seemed to be about
to make a rush for the platform.
At this point Chairman Root took a
hand in the proceedings and getting a
hearing he insisted upon the delegates
restraining their feelings. Finn made
point of order, but was overruled
and forced back into his seat.
Half an hour later, during G. l..
Records speech, q war of heated
words broke out in the Indiana dele

That Roosevelt win order a with

fails to unseat the protested eighty
delegates included in the appeals sub

most discussed proposition around
headquarters just before the conven-

agreed that this development was GER

1t was also expressed as another
certainty that Roosevelt could not
take from the convention some of his
pledged delegates.

HADLEY TALKED OF
AS A DARK HORSE
Missouri Governor Popular IdOI
OF the Convention.

Chicago, June 20.-The popular lido
of this convention, if 1t can be said to
have one, is Governor Herbert Hadley
of Missouri. If a deadlock for ths
presidency ensues as a result OF the
first roll call Hadley is likely to be
come the most prominent dark hors
in the race. The Taft people like him
although he is one of the progres
sives. One reason why the national
committee seated Hadley and arrived
at compromise In the Missouri con
test was his personal popularity and
influence with Its members,
So far as the delegates go Hadley
has been getting more applause In the
convention than any other man. The
galleries have singled him out as their
pet and are loud in their acclamatior
when he speaks. The young governor
OF Missouri has fine presence, an ex
cellent voice and a forceful style OF
oratory. While Heney and Johnson oi
California and Finn Of Pennsylvania
were making threats and shaking
their fists at the delegates Hadley kept
his head, never lost his temper and
argued effectively while others shout
ed. Thus far he stands head and
shoulders above any other man In the
convention SO far as popular acclaim
is concerned
III the first ballot should fail to nom
mate Taft the supporters of the presi
dent will get together to pick a third
candidate. They are talking about
Hadley whenever they stop to con
slider this feature of the situation.

COLONEL BUSY GIVING
ORDERS TO LIEUTENANTS

Fight for The PreSiesn-

Chicago, June 0.-Roosevelt's chief
lieutenants. including Governors Had
ley and Deneen, served notice that
they will not sanction a bolt under
any circumstances. They made no
secret of their position in this respect
and announced it to a number OF
newspaper men.
Colonel Roosevelt had his fighting
blood surging early and from the mo-
ment he reached his conference quar-
ters in the Congress hotel until his
field captains left for the convention
hall there was unusual scurrying
about.

than an hour.
Some of the friends of Mr.. Roose-
velt were not so certain that the colo
mel would not have some other plan in
his mind which might upset things.
That the colonel has absolute, domi-
mating command of the situation
seems a certainty. He issues orders
like an officer in the field, and had
messengers rushing about with mes
sages for the Roosevelt leaders, who
came in haste to his quarters.
