Chicago, June 1g.-The long expect
cd crash in the Republican ranks came
last night The Roosevelt forces act
ing, they said under the personal di-
] rection Of the Colonel himself, began
to lay their plans for Independent
action Ia the national Republican con
yentIon As a f0rerunner Of the more
drastic action expected in the conven.
tion Friday. Roosevelt members Of the
committee on credentials withdrew
from that body last night-withdrew
IN person and in effect withdrew an
OF the Roosevelt contests. which had
been scaled down from from 20 to rs.
Col Roosevelt last night was in the
midst OF a series of exciting confer
I ences and was busy figuring on the
loyal delegates whom he could expect
to carry with him out OF the commit.
tee or rather into a separate conven-
ton on the convention floor in event
the crisis reached.
Persons who talked with the Colonel
last night declared there was no long
er any doubt as to his attitude Con
vineed that the credentials committee
was against him, Col Roosevelt decid-
! cd TO go no further with his futile fight
IN the regular convention.
The Colonel would not issue a for
NAL statement as to his warlike inten.

said 10 have made his position clear

Some Of the conferences at his head

In the meantime, there was mucl
talk Of Justice Charles E. Hughes ol

The fact that the Taft forces
strengthened their hold on the eonyen
lion in the test vote yesterday, getting
5el votes, as against 55s Tuesday
threw the opposition forces into some

in the minds eye, Horatio. with the eye of faith and imagination. I'm agine those strong elastic garters stretched from about where the waist used to be in the dear dead days beyond recall, and hitched on to the edge of the stocking. You will see that they then form a fig ure something like the car ropes Of balloon or a parachute. and of an exceeding rigidity. Imagine that the body Is a coat of mail down to the hips, and that from the hips to the knees is surrounded by these elas- tic guy ropes, stretched tight enough almost to haul the wearer out of her boots Now do you think you could walk like human being under such circumstances? Of course you could not. You would have to mince along like these women do, and you could sit down just about as easily as q telegraph post To give information, to add to the knowledge and wis dom of the world. is a holy mission. and we are thankful that We happen ed to see an explanation of the continuing hobble walk after the ap- parent cause for it had disappeared and so we spread the light among wondering and DerDlexed man. kind-Argonaut

SOME WISE GUY HAS
 EVIDENTLY BEEN PEEPING

An Eastern newspaper asks why the hobble walk remains after the hobble skirt has disappeared, As heaven is our witness, we know nothing of such gear, but there ap. pears to be plenty of room inside the skirt for fair straightforward step, but no such step is straightfor- word. Has the mince become an ac, quired habit not easily to be dis carded?
 This, We are told, is not the case The hobble skirt has disappeared but what may be called the hobble corset has not disappeared. It is still the rule that the hips and the the corset is designed with the in tention of seeing to it that they are the same size. Now if you take a pair of compasses and apply firm pressure just below the hinge you will find that the radius of the points is lessened. There you have the idea
 But there is something else. Did you ever notice-in the shop win dows of course-the long elastic at tachments that depend from some where near the edge of the corsets and that hang down in purposeless sort of way? Well. those are gar ters. We have often wondered what they were. but didn't like to ask, but now we have seen it so stated in newspaper. so it must be right. Whatever is printed is true. They look harmless enough. those garters, in shop window, but you should see them on. That is to say you should not see them on except

Three ministers wanted to cross the Mississippi River to attend :. revival at place which boasted of no regular ferry. Brother Styles and Brother Beamish weighed at least two hundred pounds apiece, but their companion was a mite of man weighing scarcely one hun dred. They got a boatman to take them over but in midstream se- yer thunder-shower came up and the waves threatened to capsize the boat.
