Cotton ever imprisoned anywhere?
Nevertheless, these cruel stones are
sacred to the Pilgram Fathers. It is
part Of history that some of the Sepa-
ratists, including William Brewster
and William Bradford, formed the res
olution of going from Boston to Hol-
land by Dutch sloop. They were ap-
pretended at the point of sailing. and
lodged, not without contumely, in
these very cells. The cells were in
the nature of place ,of retention

magistrates, rather than an actual
dungeon in which they served sem

perience for the elders. meaning

them. Brewster suffered the most.

STRONG COMPROMISE TALK IS HEARD on ALL SIDES

Chicago Theodore Roosevelt's in

DAY; first, there were half dozen
short conferences between Roosevelt
and his leaders, and then things began

Then came Dixon Moore Of Pitts

followed, and then, like a clap of thuns

break in the Southern delegates from

Theodore Roosevelt characterized as
nonsense reports that the Roosevelt
men would bolt the Republican Ma
tionai Convention if they were unable

tional committee on Texas, Washing

committee on credentials or appeal to
the convention itself.
Out of a chaos Of claims and counter
claims, reports of break" to Roose-
velt from the Taft ranks and declara-
ton by the Taft managers that Colon

their delegates had met with failure,
there came the frank statement by
Roosevelt leaders that regardless of
what the final roundup of delegates
may show Colonel Roosevelt will
leave Chicago nominee.
Snisquieting stories which found
their way to the committee on ar
rangements for the convention led to
Representatives calling on Mayor Car
ter Harrison to seek the strongest de-
tail of police possible during the con-
vention days.
There have been innumerable ru-
mors, for some of which the campaign
managers were responsible, or more
or less to be attributed to one enthusi
Rstic Roosevelt man that fifty-six Taft
delegates had swung over to the coll
onel, but on investigation it was found
that what Senator Dixon had told this
enthusiast was that five or six" dele
gates had swung over.
When Elihu Root was selected by
the Republican leaders as their choice
for chairman of the convention it was
with the expectation on the part Of
Mr.. Barnes at least, that possibly
there might be a deadlock In the con-

would strike Mr. Root.
Representative Serene e. Payne Of
Auburn, N. r., delegate to the conven-
