TAFT MEN FEEL so SURE THEY
 QUIT WORK AMONG DELEGATES

Chicago, June 20-convention headauar- ters of President Taft practically sus- pended all effort tonight so far as work ing among the delegates to the conven- ton was concerned Although the con- stantly recurring gossip of a compromise candidate disturbed the Taft managers at various times, they professed to be ab- solutely confident that the delegates who voted with the President on the first two ballots in the convention would be firm to the end.
 After emphatically declaring Taft would be renominated Director Mckinley in a statement tonight said:
 Tt Is perfectly natural that simultane- ously with the general knowledge of the complete defeat of Roosevelt. many of his former followers are talking with suf- ficient energy to create rumors of com promise candidates. These rumors have nothing back of them except the gen

 IN THE STEEL SUIT Will Show He Was Refused Extension of Credit to
 Rehabilitate Firm

New York, June a.-How the Mlllken Bros, an independent steel concern on staten Island, vainly sought to get funds from banks to rehabilitate itself was ex- plained in testimony given today by Eos ter Milliken, one of the partners when the governments suit to dissolve the Tinted states Steel corporation was re- stunned. Richard V. Lipdabury, of counsel for the Steel corporation, protested that the questions asked the witness were ''ob- yiously absurd inquiries, whereupon Jacob M. Dickinson, government attorney, said:
 "The testimony will show thtS Milliken Bros. tried to make arrangements for re- habilitating the company. They did not get the extension of credit they felt they had right to expect. They believe that influences operated to prevent thse work s from being rehabilitated. The object of the testimony is to show that in some way in New York moneyed influences prevent ed them for rehabiliating.
 After MT. Milliken had been allowed to name the banks to which his firm had ap- piled for funds. although these banks had notes and mortgages of the partnership, i'this line of inquiry was not pursued fur thtr. The banks mentioned by the wit

eral desire to draw attention away from the one great accomplishment of the re- publican national convention to date-the overwhelming defeat of Roosevelt
 President Taft's strength in the con vention has grown from it's first moment. and the acknowledged defeat of Roose- welt is adding to it hourly. There is no one who questions his complete control of the situation and there is not the slightest possibility of even a momentary consideration of a compromise candi- date. There will be no such candidate.
 'The extended consideration of the con test cases by the committee on creden- tials is a further evidence of tbe com plete control of every phase of the sit- uation by Taft It is his wish that every opportunity for the complete presentation of these cases should be given that the country may know without doubt of the absolute lack of foundation for the ex- travagant charges of robbery and fraud which are being reiterated by Roosevelt as he disappears in the oblivion of de- feat

Hadley Has Not Bolted

Governor Hadley, member of the sub committee. was present comparatively lit-
 tie of the time, but he explained his ab-
 senee as due to other causes, being care full to explain that he had not been in- fuenced by the threatened bolt suffici- ently to cause him to remain away.
 Neither MT. Rowell of California nor Mir.
 Lewis of Pennsylvania was present at
 any of the days proceedings.
 No provision was passed upon finally, but among those to which no return is
 liable to be made are those dealing with
 the trusts. the courts, arbitration and
 campaign contributions.
 Legislation supplementary to the Sher-
 man antitrust law for the prevention of
 monopoly is recommended and the rec ommendation goes to the extent of sug- gesting the punishment of violations of the law as a crime. Publicity for all campaign contributions and the prohibit | ton of such contributions from corpora tions are suggested as in the interests of impartial government.
 The maintenance of the inviolibllity of
 the courts is pressed and there is an ex- plicity declaration against the recall of judges and judicial decisions as con trary alike to the constitution and of the public welfare. The reference to ar bitration of all justicable controversies Is recommended but the provision is not dwelt upon.
 Other recommendations are the reten- tion by the government of the owner ship of the natural resources of the coun- | try, the enactment of a workmens com pensation law, the protection of children against oppression by anti-child labor | Legislation and the safeguarding of the 1 public health by proper legislation, state | and national.
 The resolutions committee adjourned at 12:50 a. m. without having reached
 an agreement on the tariff plank. Sev-
 eral drafts were referred to Charles Hopkins Clark of Connecticut, who will
 bring In composite draft of the many proposals when the committee resumes
 its session al 9:30 o'clock tomorrow. | Members of the subcommittee sait there was substantial agreement in re
 speet to e5 per cent of the proposed blanks. Messrs. Rowell of California Record of New Jersey and Hadley O.
 Missouri will present tariff planl
 which may be offered to the conven
 ton in a minority report.
