r. r. Plans Waiting Game,

Chicago, June 21.-The Interpretation
placed upon the situation In Chicago
by those who talked with Colonel
Roosevelt was that he had abandoned
all hopes Of being nominated by the
Republican party. They were quoting
his expression: "If there is to be a pro
gresslve party l will be In it, but we
will have to see first II the people
want such a party"
Men close to Colonel Roosevelt in
terpret this as meaning that the Roose
welt forces, under the colonel's direc
ton, will not proceed to organize i'm
mediately after the Taft forces have
finished their work. They predict that
there will be an interval during which
Colonel Roosevelt will take new politi
cal soundings. And they are inclined
ton on his part will be delayed until
after the Baltimore convention.
These men say II the Democratic
convention should nominate a pro.
nounced conservative following the
nomination of President Taft by the
Republicans the colonel would still
have q chance as the candidate of n
third party. They admit that such
experiment would be expensive and
cannot see where the money will come
from unless success was probable.
Colonel Roosevelt, after coming out
of the meeting, made a statement in
which he said that the decision of his
delepatas NOT TO be bound by auy &c
ton Of the convention, providing the
"illegally seated delegates are allowed
to vote, was unanimous. He said that
Governors Hadley. Stubs and Deneen
and AL the others" were there. He
added:
This does not mean that all Of them
will bolt, but it means that they will
reserve the right to do what they wish,
and that they will take no active part
In a convention where the fraudulent
eighty are allowed to vote"

Demonstration For T. q

Chicago, June 21.-The convention

ernoon, so far as the galleries were

4, the hour set for reconyening, There
was an air Of expectancy manifested
on the part Of the crowd that filled
every seat in the place. The various
rumors that came from the Roosevelt
camp and other sources that could not
be traced has percolated through the
entire town, natives, visitors and dele
gates. and all sorts of things were said
to be about to happen and We're ex
pected to occur.
While nothing of real Importance
took place, the spectators witnessed a
demonstration In favor of Roosevelt
which made up In some degree for the

stration resulted IN nothing and finally
died of sheer hamilton after a brief

LOOK FOR FIGHT

Storm Brewing Over Selec-
ton of Chairman.

DaIumore, June 21.-By a vote OIL
eight out of fftc , the committee of
arrangements or the Democratic ma
ional committee selected Judge Alton
3. Parker to be presented to the on
%gention for the office of temporary
chairman.
Opposition was maGe to Judge

The Champ Clark and the woodrow
Wilson men stood out against Judge
Parker, dividing their eight votes
among the four candidates. The result
was a tie. s to 8, between the Bryan
and anti-Bryan forces.
Not Made Unanimous.
An effort was made in the arrange
ment committee, after this s to 8 d.
vision. to make the selection Of Judge
Parker unanimous. A motion to this
effect was made by one of the Parker
men, but IA voted down 8 to 7, n
of the committeeman who had voted
against Parker on the ballot having
shifted In favor of harmonious action.
One or two speeches were made by the
Clark and Wilson people against the
proposal to make the selection OF
Judge Parker unanimous. These speak
ers said that while they had great
respect for Judge Parker they could
not sacrifice their progressive princt-
pies to vote for him for temporary
chairman. Furthermore, they said
hat his selection would be a great
mistake for the party.
The fact that eight members or the
committee of arrangements stood firm
ly by Judge Parker and thus threw
down the gauge Of battle to Bryan can
he credited chiefly to Charles f. Muir
ply, leader of Tammany Hall
The Democratic leaders have not in
yited this fight with Bryan without
carefully canvassing the situation. The
next step will be for the committee on
arrangements to report The selection Of
Judge Parker by a plurality vote to
the full national committee. This will
be done at a meeting of the national
committee here on Monday. Then
some of Bryan's friends will ~undoubted-
ly move that the report of the commit
tee on arrangements be rejected. That
will bring up the fight, The anti-Bryan

May Be Carried to Floor.
If the Parker selection is sustained
by the national committee the fight IN
doubleday will be carried to the floor
of the convention.
The anti-Bryan men, after carefully
~canvassing the delegations, said they
would have between so and 100 votes
more than a majority. These figures
were based entirely on the assumption
that the Champ Clark and Wilson
people would continue to stand against
Parker.
The Clark people. at a conference in
Washington, discussed the question
whether they could afford, by continu-
ing the fight or Judge Parker, to alien
ate Charles +. Murphy and the New
York state delegation. There were
well founded reports that Champ
Clark's managers were divided over
this question, and there was a likell-
hood that the speaker would weaken.

Plan to Hold Rump Convention.

Plan to Hold Rump Convention.
The Roosevelt delegates agreed to
attend the convention to the end, but
in case the credentials committee
brings In a report unfavorable to the
Roosevelt delegates who were unseat-
ed by the national committee they
further agreed they would take no
part in the business of what they de-
clare to be an Illegal body. At this
meeting, which was composed Of two
delegates from each Roosevelt state, 1t
was further decided that after the Taft
delegates have adjourned sine die the
Roosevelt men will hold a rump con
vention of their own and nominate
Theodore Roosevelt for president.
Somewhat earlier Colonel Roosevelt
made a declaration over his own sig
nature that he would accept such a
nomination. He added the proviso
that the feeling for his nomination
must be general among the progress
sives. In that case he would run for
the presidency OF a progressive plat
form.

The house was far in the country and
about on the dividing line with Hast

that the game was as easy as the
kick of goose, and the coin-boxl was
like finding 1t in the street. did not
exactly relish going back to old
tricks, but something had to be done.
and that was all there was about It.
The plan Of the house showed that 1t
was adapted for second-story work.
and there were only two men who
lived In 1t. One was my young friend
Temple and the other was the old
man. The other inmates were women;
two or three daughters and domes-
tic servants. Andy was not able to
get the location of the strong box.

be used to open 1t.

stormy night, when we knew that
young Temple was In the city blow
ing in his allowance. This left US
only the old man to deal with and the
women. We went up the river on an
early train Is far as Yonkers and
there got carriage from a solid
friend Of mine who knew enough to
keep his mouth shut and ask NO
questions. We reached the Temple
house before midnight All the lights
were out and Andy went up pillar
on the back piazza to the roof and
fastened a rope ladder for future use.
We got into the house in about i've
minutes. We went to the different
rooms on the second floor and found
old Temple alone in bed asleep.
There was no one in the adjoining
rooms. and I woke him up. made
things plain to him: It was simply to
give up the safe combination or lose
his life. He was badly scared. and
said that he would open the strong
box. He got up. shaking like leaf,
and took US to an Office on the dining
room. made lights in several rooms
SO that the light in the Office would
not attract attention, while Andy had
the old man working on the lock.
When returned to the ONCE the old
man groaned suddenly. placed his
hand over his heart and fell heavily
against the safe door. He was un-
conscious. and we carried him into
another room. opened the safe and
cleaned 1t out. We reached New
York before daylight with big roll
