for the quick action on the part of
Capt Beck Policeman Thrift undoubt-
eddy would have been killed by the col
ored man. They told of Thrills at
tempt to arrest Adams at the latter's

COMPROMISE TALK
ASCRIBED BY BARNES
TO ROOSEVELT MEN

CHICAGO June PA murmur Of gos-
sip suggesting possible compromise can
didate, which swept through the hotel
Hobbies last night, drew forth this state
ment from William Barnes. jr.. of New
York, on behalf Of the Taft forces:
..There has been talk and some news
paper publication this evening regarding
a compromise candidate for President.
This proposal is purely a ruse on the
part of the Roosevelt forces who realize
that they will be defeated in the conven-
ton. and are now endeavoring to break
up the Taft alignment by talking COM
promise.
"Mr. roosevelt said. and in this I agree
with him. the compromise candidate will
be me That the Roosevelt men them
selves are talking compromise tonight Is
nosifiye evidence Of the loss OF their
cause. and of their hope of creating dis
sersion In the ranks of President Taft.
through appealing to the very natural IN
stinct on the part Of any republican to
avert a sharp division Of forces.
But the purpose is perfectly clear to
the delegates here assembled.
my only object in making this state
ment is that It may be given such cur
rency that 1t Will also be clear to the re-
publicans throughout the country:
ton that there would be no compromise.
One Of the most prominent OF the anti
Taft men in Chicago said last nfghtS
president Taft will be nominated If
williams Barnes, jr., of New York, is for
him. His control OF the New York state
delegation gives him control OF the situa-
ton here.

tional committee the pre-conventton ma
chinery was expected to move In lively

dates are named by the democratic ma
t;onal convention Baltimore expects to
share with Chicago in political promi-
hence. Over fifteen thousand applications

ushers, but each national committeeman
will suggest the names of those he de-
sires appointed.
Take Up Convention Program.

WILL TRAIL MURDERER.
Expert to Investigate Slaughter OF
Family in Iowa.

v1LLISCA, Iowa, June I'm. w. Nc
Claughrey. Bertillon expert of the federal
prison at Leavenworth, kans., who was
called here to make records of the bloody
fingerprints left by the murderer OF the
Moore family and their guests last Sum-
day night, is in Omaha today in consulta-
ton with Chief of Police Donahue. HIS
plan is to conduct, with the aid OF de-
tail of Omaha detectives, an independent
Investigation.
McClaughrey is convinced that some one
familiar with the Moore family and house
committed the murder. He takes little
stock in theories which attempt to link
the tragedy with similar crimes In Kansas
and Colorado.
McC1aughrey is strongly inclined to be-
lieye that the crime was not the work OF
a maniac, but rather of scheming. re-
venseful murderer. So far as the public
Is aware not q single clue has been found
as to the identity of the perpetrator OF
the crime.
Early today residents OF the county by
hundreds began coming into Villisca to
he present at the funeral this afternoon
of the victims Of the tragedy.

SEVENTEEN FOR TAFT,
ONE FOR ROOSEVELT,
YESTERDAYS RESULT

CHICAGO, June 12.-One delegate for
Col Roosevelt, the first awarded him
since the national committee began the
hearing Of the contest cases last Friday.
and seventeen for President Taft were
the net results Of yesterdays session of
the republican national committee.
In all hundred and one delegates have
been accorded President Taft since the
committee opened its hearings. The one
placed in the Roosevelt column yesterday
was D. c. Edwards. from the eleventh
district Of Kentucky. The Taft forces
on the committee refused by a vote OF 81
to 10 to seat both the Roosevelt delegates
whose places were contested, put agreed
to a split, which gave Col. Roosevelt and
President Taft each one delegate from
the district.
The half victory for Col. Roosevelt
came at the end of day in which all OF
the other much-dlscussed contests from
Kentucky had been decided in President
Taft's favor. In some Of these the Roose-
Welt men had acquiesced: in others they
had mustered a vote of from eleven to
seventeen against the Taft decisions.
Senator Borah, the most active Roose-
against splitting the eleventh district
delegation.
There is no jurisdiction for it," he de-
clared. 'If one Is given both should be.

motion to seat the divided delegation.
John G. Capers, Senator Borah and
Francis J. Heney led an effort to adopt
a substitute to seat both Roosevelt men.
but they could muster only nineteen
votes
Those whose votes were cast for the
Roosevelt delegates were: Barker. Ala
bama: knight, California: Lavender.
Colorado; du Pont Delaware; Borah,
Idaho; Lowden. Illinois; Burnam. Ken

Thorson. South Dakota; Monday. Ten
nessee: Lyon, Texas: Loose. Utah: Ros-
ers. Wisconsin; Beiber, District of Co
lumbia.
The split delegation was then unani-
mously seated.
President Taft's four contested dele
gates at large from Kentucky. headed by
Senator w. G. Bradley. were seated. by
vote of SO to II. He was given six from
the first, second and tenth districts unani-
mously.
The contest against the two in the
fourth district was withdrawn, and the
five from the seventh, eighth and elev-
er1th districts were won against the votes
OF the Roosevelt forces.

did not have to be "at large
Yes, to get on the ticket" shouted
Heney, "but not to be seated by this

Mr.. Heney then presented certificates
and affidarits showing that confusion
had existed in the voting registers in the
fourth and fifth California districts, and
that later examination showed that
Roosevelt men had received a majority
Of votes.
Mr.. Heney then announced that Gov.
Johnson refused TO appear before the
committee, and read a letter from the
governor announcing his refusal.
Taft Delegates Seated.
A motion to seat the Tai, delegates
from the fourth California district, made
by Mr.. Estabrook of New Hampshire.
was followed by motion by Borah to
seat the Roosevelt delegates.
A roll call was refused on the Borah
motion and ii was defeated viva voce.
A roll call vote then began on the Es-
tabrook motion, which was carried.
James A. Tawney, casting the vote of
BROKER of Connecticut, declared the rec
ignition of states, instead of congress
sional districts, in seating delegates
would completely overturn republican

Husband and Wife Opposed.
Patrick Door and his wife OF westville.

pared to do battle in the interest OF
Theodore Roosevelt. and Mrs. Door to
support President Taft.
Door was postmaster of Westville

Plans of the Suffragists.
Suffragists, who Will present the votes

uonal convention, decided last night to
align themselves with neither the Taft
nor the Roosevelt forces.
The plank. it was said, would be pre-
scented on the opening day of the conven-
ton, and will be carried by a delegation
Of prominent suffrag1sts. Headed by Miss
Jane Adams and Miss S. p. Breckin-
ridge.
The plank will be presented just as 1t
has been presented many times before, y
said Miss Adams. There is nothing
strange and nothing specially formal or
studied about 1t.

Finn THREATENS
A THIRD TICKET
Continued from First Page,

velt's own men? How many of the null
titude remember that after forty-eight
hours?
To emphasize further their charges
of fraud the Roosevelt men will have
a great meeting in the Auditorium to-
morrow night. at which men of ma
tional prominence will speak. and the
details will go widespread over the
land. Some of these men have whipped
themselves up into such a frenzy OF
rage that. as Charley Edwards says,
"they swear between syllables."
But already the effect of the Roose-
Welt TRADE Is beginning to be felt here:
Members of the national committee and
others prominent in the Taft manage
ment are receiving protests from their
constituents. showing that the RoOse-
Welt rank and file put some belief in
the colonefs charges. the protests
have no effect upon the committeeman.
who apparently are intent upon giving
short shrift to the fake" contests. but
the point is this: What effect may they
not have upon the convention itself by
the time they have risen into nation
wide diapason Of dissent, inspired
though it be?
The end of this week is expected to
bring the wind-up of the contests, and
then it will be a hand-to-hand strus-
gle for individual delegates.
Talk of a Dark Horse.
Probable the gravest danger that
menaces President Taft in addition to
the psychological consideration just
set forth is the talk of dark horse,
which Is being assiduously encouraged
by the Roosevelt men.
The object of this is to prevent
Taft's nomination on the first ballot
through inducing some delegations to
withhold their votes IF Taft does
not win on the first ballot he is a
goner," is the opinion widely express
ed. The dark horse" move is the
latest play of the Roosevelt men.
William Barnes. who is Tafts two
handed fighting man, recognized this
danger Immediately upon reaching Chi
cago, and last night posted warning
to the Taft men. He declared the dark
horse talk was traceable entirely to
the Roosevelt men and was for an
obvious purpose.
He was moved to issue the statement
because it had been rumored that he
wanted to keep a dark horse in view
and for that reason had caused New
York to withhold instructions for Taft.
But no suspicion is entertained of
Barnes sincerity by the Taft man.
ayers, who say they are convinced
Barnes will play fair with the Presi-
dent to the end.
OF course, the Roosevelt people. once
they have Taft checkmated on the
first ballot, will cast all such talk to
the winds and will show that their
man is Roosevelt, first, last and all the
time
