GREAT MOB CRFFTS TEDDY IN CHICAGO Presidential Candidate t. Flung Defiance at Bosses
 From Balcony.
READY FOR A FIGHT
His Arrival Has a Depressing Effect On His EmemieS-knOws He
 Has a Fight Oi.

Chicago, June 14.-At the very mo- ment the National Republican Com mittee was taking the last of the Texas delegates away from him, Theodore Roosevelt breezed into Chi cago, made his way to the Congress hall through a bowling mob, and flung defiance at the bosses from a second story balcony to a crowd that numbered nearly ten thousand.
 His coming was one of the most dramatic incidents of his career. Lit tie staging had been done. Few prep arations had been made. But ten seconds after the Colonel had alight- ed from the Lake Shore limited at the LaSalle street station everybody in Chicago appeared thai ne knew and converging thousands were blocking every street and every ave- nue within a quarter of mile of the Coliseum.
 In word and in countenance the Colonel was for fight He spoke o1 his opponents as thieves and saie that they were going to lose. He fought with his own powerful arms for a way through the crowd and when he got to the hotel, flushed o1 face, with the precipitation dripping from his forehead, he plOushed pass the jam that blocked the door, declar' ing that there was but one way t6 victory and that was the route by way of battle.
 The Colonel's arrival had depress ing effect on his enemies, who stal( in their tents and said nothing. Hl' friends were correspondingly elatet and if you listened to and credited the prophecies that are running around the corridors of the Congress tonight you would think that Roose velt's name is the only one to go be fore the convention.
 Mir. Roosevelt himself, however has no such delusion. He Know that there is hard fight against nm and he has assured his friends tha he is ready for the hardest and blt terest struggle of his career.

IF |S PASSED A[NEY ID KENNEDY Liyeliest Session Yet of National Republican Com
 mittee Yesterday.
GAVE TAFT 62 VOTES
pioht Narrowly Averted-Heney De. nounces Taft Men on Committee
 And Ready to Back Statements.

Chicago, June 15.-Carrying every nonnd of steam her boilers would stand. the steam roller made a grand run today and wonderful finish a little after o'clock tonight. x Fhe final lap was a hot one. It 1 twas made with Frances J. Heney, howling thieves and crooks at the help in general, and liar at James Kennedy, of North Dakota, in parti- cular. with the sergeant-at-arms watching every movement of his right hand toward his hip pocket.
 Regardless of MT. Heney's colloquil eiaculations the steam roller just went right along with it's work. Heney did not even cause it to Wobble from 4 its path.
 When the National Committee met at g o'clock a. m. those who had re- posed faith in their friends hereon, expected those friends to deliver to President Taft fifty delegates for the temporary roll of the national con vention.
 The National committee did that and more. It delivered to Taft 62 votes for that temporary roll call, or grand total of 235 delegates to the temporary roll out of the possible 254.
 Colonel Roosevelt got for the temp orary roll today four delegates out { of the 66 cases passed on in the course of the day Added to, the 15 previously given him that gives him agrand total of 19 out of 254. l4 Today was the liveliest of the ses- sions the National Committee has held in Hearing the long list of contested delegates. And it might easily have been the heaviest. There were nc fist fights, hut Heney gave the lie di- rect to James Kenndy, of North Da- kota, and everyone was afraid te guess what might have happened if 8 dozen members and as many assist ants sergeant-at-arms had not inter fered.
 When he got the lie in his fact Kennedy started for Heney and seem ed in hurry. Heney did not move but stood steadily, repeating over ane over "You're liar, you're liar, as though he meant to set the phrase tt music and sing it. Whether or not ht
 vas armed, according to his reputa
 tlon, no one perhaps, except the ser geant who got close in, will know < But his hand rested lightly where
 revolver butt ought to be while
 Tough and ready contest is in full
 sway. And he seemed to be waitin'
 TOT something to happen.
 Fortunately the two men were
 good distance apart when Kenned, began his rush. That fact gav
 senator Penrose an opportunity t.
 Olock the way, by that time the ser K seants had surrounded Heney am
 twenty members had cornered Ken
 nedy.
 The fuss started at the opening o
 ne hearings of the Washington con 'ssls. It had been hard day an

SCHOLARSHIPS FOR S. |. !, H.:

The several police juries who have
been asked to establish a scholar
ship at the Industrial Institute, which
they have power under the law to do.
have so far responded favorably. The
latest two are the juries of Acadia
and Assumption. Dr. Stephens ap-
peared before the Acadia jury and
they gave two scholarships, one for
a young lady and one for a young
man. Prof. Lee went to Napoleon
vile and got from that jury a schol-
arship.
The Institute with its larger appro-
priatiOn this year is offering more
to the student and its benefits will
be that much greater The readi-
ness with which the juries respond
in the way of scholarships is a fine
indication that it's usefulness will
grow wider yearly.
