UP TO ROOSEVELT MEN.
They May Hold Credentials Report
Until Next Week.


Chicago. June 21.-The committee
on credentials voted to seat the Taft
delegates from the Eighth Kentucky
district, % to Z. The vote was on
substitute for motion giving the
Roosevelt delegates title to the con-
tested seats. The Eleventh Kentucky
district, Taft contestants from which
had been seated by the national COM
mittee was called. Congressman George
r. Malby, New York member, said
no report would be presented until
the last contest had been decided. If
the Roosevelt men, he said, demanded
a roll call on every contest, the COM
mittee could not finish its work be-
fore Saturday night and the report
would not be presented before Mon
day. Under these conditions, he said,
the convention could not complete its
work and adjourn until Wednesday
next.
Chairman Devine said. however.
that if the Roosevelt members would
confine their attack to those districts
included in the list on which they
have based their principal charges of
fraud, including the Washington and
Texas cases, the committee would be
able to report by tonight. The widest
latitude would be allowed the Roose-
Welt members, said the chairman, and
the duration of the session depended
entirely on their attitude.

DENVER Feb. 9.-Chairman Ed

should mine and deliver coal direct
to the consumer, and this suggestion
was taken up by the legislative COM
mittee of the Denver Trades and La
Dor assembly and endorsed The
state owns valua BILE coal land, most
of which is leased
1t is probable that an amendment
to the state constitution, giving a
public utilities commission the right
to use the public shcool fund to mine
and deliver coal at a price that will
pay running expenses and interest
on the money invested, will be sub
mitted to the people.
committee has been formed, with
Chairman Heating as one of the men,
bers, to draft this amendment
The reason underlying this move
ment is the fact that the coal miners
in the northern Colorado Ignite

months, only asking an increase OF
cents per ton in the mining rate.
Since the strike occurred coal has
been advanced at the mines SO cent
