If a lady invites a gentleman to
dinner and the meal is not all that is
to be desired. is the gentleman justi-
fed in slapping the lady's face? Mrs
W. E. Collins, the hostess in the case,
thought not so she had Manuel Manini
arrested on a charge Of assault and
battery:
Mr.. and Mrs. Collins invited Mr.. and
Mrs. Manini 10 take dinner at the Col
Inns, Kalihi residence last Tuesday

and so, according to Mrs. Collins, Ma

TAFT NOMINATED
BY W. G. HARDING

Chicago.-When Chairman Root or
dered call of the states for nomina-
tions, there was silence until Ohio was
reached. A cheer went up when War
rem G. Harding rose to nominate Taft,
but it was suddenly discovered that
Iowa had omitted to nominate Senator
Cummins. Iowa was called again, but
silence was the answer, for Iowa had
decided not to nominate Cummins, but
to vote for him.
Then Ohio was called again and
Harding took the platform. When
finally he reached the name of William
Howard Taft, the floor and galleries
burst into life. The demonstration for
the president lasted 16 minutes
When Harding resumed, there was
silence until he named Taft "the
greatest progressive of his time" At
that wave of groans swept through
the progressive states, splashing into
fist fight among a knot of Maine,
Oregon, North Dakota and Florida del
egates.
The Roosevelt supporters "heckled'
Harding throughout most of his
speech, hurting taunting questions at
him during pauses meant to be effec-
tive parts of his peroration. A dele
gate in the back of the hall footed Wig
orously on steam roller whistle
whenever Harding made reference to
Taft's strength.
John Wanamaker of Philadelphia Sec
onded Taft's nomination, and Nicholas
Butler of New York, president of Co
lumbia university, followed Wanamak-
er in seconding the nomination of
Taft.
Michael Olbrich, of Wisconsin, then
placed Senator La Toilette in nomina-
ton. When he concluded, there was
demonstration for La Toilette, car
ried on by the Wisconsin and North
Dakota delegates on the floor and by
many in the galleries.
Robert NJ Pollock, of Fargo, N. D.,
seconded the La Toilette nomination
in brief speech of tribute.

COLONEL ROOSEVELT
FORMS new PARTY
PrOgressives Meet and NOmin-
ate Ex-President; Den0unCe
Taft Convention.

Chicago.-Theodore Roosevelt was
nominated for president on an indie
pendent ticket. The nomination was
made during the dying hours of the
republican national convention in
which Mr.. Roosevelt met defeat.
The followers of Colonel Roosevelt
met in Orchestra Hail. less than a
mile from the Coliseum, and pledged
their support to the ex-president. In
accepting the nomination, Colonel
Roosevelt appealed to the people of
all sections, regardless of party affili-
ations, to stand with the founders of
the new party, one of whose cardinal
principles, he said, was to be Thou
shalt not steal"
Colonel Roosevelt said he accepted
the nomination with the understand
ing that he would be willing to step
aside if it should be the desire of the
new party when organized to select
another standard bearer.
The proceedings were well under
way when Colonel Roosevelt appeared
on the stage at the mass meeting. The
crowd went wild with enthusiasm.
Men flung their hats in the air and
women tossed their gloves and fans
about. Cheering was deafening and
it was some time before order was re-
stored
Roosevelt Gets Demonstration.
When Roosevelt concluded his
speech there was a wild rush for the
platform and a score of men scramb-
led for the leaves of the Colonels
manuscript where he had dropped
them.
The speech nominating Colonel
Roosevelt was made by Controller
Prendergast, of New York, who was to
have presented the Colonels name to
the convention William Draper-Lew

Chicago-boIu on the ballot for

iioor to make him the compromise
candidate for president.
When quiet had been restored and
after Governor Hadley made a brief
statement, Mr. Watson, Taft's floor
leader waved to refer to the credeu.
lials committee the motion to seat the
% Roosevelt delegates. Governor De-
neen moved to amend so as to provide
tnat no contested delegates should
vote on the membership of the com.
mlttee on credentials or on it's report.
MT watson moved to table the motion
OF Governor Deneen.
When it was announced that the mo-
lion to table had been carried by a
vote OF 564 to $40, the Taft folk broke
into cheer.
Thursday Session Short.
Owing to the fact that the creden-
tlals committee could not make re-
port five minutes was the entire dura-
tlon of the two sessions Thursday,
with a recess Of four hours between.
The first session convened at noon,
lasted four minutes; the second, one
minute.
At Fridays session the Taft forces
further demonstrated their control.
The convention took up piecemeal the
contests from many states and in each
instance the Taft delegates were de.
clared entitled to their seats by ma
1orities ranging from a high-water
Taft vote of COS to 464 to a narrow
margin of 542 to 529.
The convention was a good-humored
assemblage Saturday. The desire OF
the delegates to leave before Sunday
was ushered in, the reaction from the
strain of the week, the determination
of the Roosevelt leaders upon a pas
sive program, all contributed to the
general effect.
Report Confirms National Committee
The report of the credentials com
mittee confirmed in every instance the
delegates placed on the temporary rol
by the national committee.
There was no interruption when the
majority and minority reports OF
Washington were read. The commit
tee held that the Taft convention was
regular.
Permanent organization was ther
effected by the adoption of the organi
zation report confirming the temper
ary organization.

man of this convention" said Senate

WASHINGTON FIGHT FIASCO
Fourteen Taft Delegates Seated In
Convention Without Protest.

Chicago-The seating Of IA Taft
delegates from Washington in the con-
yention without a roll call and without
serious protest was in accordance with
the plan adopted by the Roosevelt
managers when they found there was
no chance whatever Of reversing the
national committee.
Originally il had been planned to
make a determined stand on Wash
ington, but Roosevelt advised that the
fight be abandoned and his advice was
followed by his sympathizers in con
vention.
