On Chicago, Soon
Seat of Big Strife

CHICAGO. June appropriations for
the preliminaries In the battle for the
Republican Presidential nomination
were made today. The expected calm
prevailed today while the lieutenants OF
the different sides awaited directions
from their superiors.
Congressman William B. Mckinley ar
rived at his headquarters today to dl-
rect the Taft side, and Senator Joseph
Nj. Dixon, manager for Colonel Roose-
welt, will be here tomorrow.
An army Of newspaper correspondents
from all over the country arrived In
Chicago today.
In addition to Col. Harry s. New. OF
Indiana, who has been arranging the
details OF the convention, the following
national committeeman were In the
city today: David w. Mulvane, Kan

r. B. Howell, of Omaha, was here
today to make a personal demand for
the seat of Victor Rosewater, national
committeeman from Nebraska, whom
he defeated in the recent State pri-
maries. He will be opposed by the
Taft members of the committee, who
are In the majority.
The latest bit of rumor connected
with the talk of Roosevelt boiling II

.HALSTEAD ON TRIAL
FOR EMBEzZLEMENT
IN DEAL IN STOCK
Charged With Selling SIS, 900
Worth of Property of For
mer Hanna Chauffeur.

Griffin Halstead. former broken, was
placed on trial before Justice Job Bar
nard In Criminal Court today on three
counts of an indictment charging EN-
bezzlement OF 5000 worth of stock from
hubert Kleinpeter, one-time chauffeur
for Mrs. Mark Hanna.
Sitting beside the defendant in court
today were Mrs. Halstead, striking
young woman, and her father, Judge l..
4. Mtchener The coupe entered court
shortly after the jury was sworn.
Inc Indictment against Halstead con-
sains nine courts, but six are held in
being tried refer to tho Kleinpeter
transactions and set forth that lDl
shares Of New York, Ontario and West
ern Railroad Company stock intrustcd
1909, were hypothecated the same day
Tor 1880 and subsequently sold.
Assistant United States Attorne .
James NJ. Proctor, who is conducting
the prosecution, told the jury in his
opening statement he expected to prove
that Halstead persuaded Klcjnpeter to
turn the certificate of stock over to hini
on the pretext that security might be
needed some day on stock which the
chauffeur was playing on a margin,
and that the certificate in question
would be ample protection fer the brol;-
erage firm. He declared that in this
manner he got possession of the stock
and then converted II to his own use.
Outlining the plan of defense, Attorney
II. Prescott Galley argued to the jury
the transaction involving the transfer OF
the certificate Of stock to Halstead and
Its hypothecation were perfectly regu-
lar In every particular. He declared
that the only hitch in the deal was the
failure of Halstead In January, 1910,
about FIVE months after the stock was
turned over to him.. He disclaimed any
criminal intent on the part of his client
and declared he hoped to exonerate him.
Kleinpeter was the first witness for
the Government. He testified that he
was induced by Halstead to transfer
the railroad stock in question from his
safety deposit box to the custody of
the broker. but he stated that 1t was
with the provision that 1t should not
be sold without his express permission.
He denied that he authorized the sale
OF the certificate.
The chauffeur showed a remarkable
knowledge about stock dealing, and
under the rapid and griling cross
examination by counsel for the defense
was decidedly glib with technical terms
not connected with the art Of driving an
automobile.

Seeking to Put End
To Importing Frauds

Customs frauds against the Govern
ment through apparent undervaluation
of linen importations at New York
brought about a conference at the
Treasury Department this afternoon of
five officials of the Treasury Depart
ment. CIoseted with Secretary Mac
Veagh were William Loeb. collector of
the port of New York; Assistant Sec
retary of the Treasury ]. F. Curtis,
Chief John z. Wilkie, of the Secret
Service Division, and J. w. Wheatley,
chief of special agents under Mr..
Wtlkie.
The whole matter of linen importa-
tions under the complicated schedule of
the tariff on linens will be considered.
To What extent frauds have been
practiced is a matter not yet ascertain
ed by the Secret Service Division. Dis
coVery of at least one specific case
came about when the division learned
the remittances Of one big linen importer
to his business associates abroad were
a considerably less sum than his con-
sular invoices. The plain inference is
that the linens shipped to this country
were undervalued
There are certain discrepancies to be
accounted for" said Chief Wilkie today.

however.

who made the discovery of something

Hotel Managers Not
Alarmed at Threat
O. Of Strike by Walters

When all the large cafes and res
taurants Of Washington have closed
shortly after midnight, walters and
other hotel employees will meet at
Typographical Temple to discuss the
possibilities OF strike.
A walkout seemed more proba BILE
today than hitherto, because Of inti-
nations from seevral of the man.
ayers of the large cafes of the city
that they will refuse the desired wage
increase. A committee OF the newly
organized Hotel Workers Union.
which came into being, late. yester::
Masonic Temple will wait upon the
hotel and cafe managers tomorrow,
probably about noon.
The meeting this evening is called
bership and to complete formulation
of a wage scale which will be pre-
sented the managers.
Hotel and cafe managers profess not
bilities, and declare with unanimity,
first. that a strike is not likely. and.
secondly, that barring embarrassment
this week during the Columbus monu-
ment unveiling. they do not care
not. AS soon as Congress has adjourned
nearly all the cafes can get along
with a comparatively few men.
1t would take a frstclaSS prophet
to say whether there will be a strike"
said Grant Hamilton, organizer for the
American Federation Of Labor, who pre-
sided at part of yesterdays meeting
THE hotel employees are not going
about this matter brashly.'
The principal demand of the walters Is
an increase OF SO a month. They now
get $50. What each man gets In tips is
a matter of guesswork. but. according
to the walters, 1t is not large sum.
While the American Federation of La
bor has given sanction to the organiza-
tion Of the walters so far, the arrival in
the city this afternoon of Joseph Elster,
organizer for the striking New York
organization, may complicate matters
somewhat. The International Hotel
Workers Union is not affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor, which
has a union for hotel employees, not,
however. represented by local in
Washington.
No charter can be given tho waters
as now organized. II was stated at A.

and Joseph Zierhut, the first two OF
whom are president and vice president,
respectively. OF the new organizatio
constitute the committee which will call

ARBITRATION BOARD
EFFORTS REJECTED
IN WATERS STRIKE
Hotel Men Insist Upon Sur
render of Demand for Rec
ognition of Union.

NEW YORK. June 3-Efforts OF the
State board Of arbitration to effect a
settlement of the walters strike, which
has now affected fifty-one hotels and
restaurants. were rejected today by the
hotel managers.

and only unconditional surrender OF the
strikers of their demand for union rec
ognltion will bring peace negotiations" "
was the ultimatum of the hotel men
when approached in the interest Of q
settlement.
Revised figures. on the number of
walters and cooks who had struck
showed that $500 employees are out. Tho
strike leaders declared that they would
never surrender on their demand for
union recognition. That the struggle
has only begun was the declaration of
international Hotel Workers Union.

he said. I'VE will not only be able 20

ganized boarding house workers as soon
as we have finished with the hotels and
big restaurants. our last step Will be a
"There is plenty of time. We can
hold out for SIX months aud nave plenty
of money"
The failure of attempts to arbitrate
the strike was made known today by
President Reid of the Hotel Mems Asso-
citation. He said the association would
close every hotel In the town before II
would recognize the union.
1--WE have no objection" said Mr.
Reid, ito meeting the two representa-
tives of the State board at any time. but
1t might as we'll be understood in ad-
vance that any effort to have us recog-
nize the union will not be considered.
That Is something we will not do. We
will close every hotel in New York
first"
The hotel managers planned to make
today the crucial point of the effort to
break the strike. With 800 members of
the Queen Society here from Montreal
and Quebec and large importation of
negro walters. they had four of the
largest strikebreaking firms of the
country at work getting walters and
cooks for the inside work and strong
arm men for the outside protection.
Not since the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
strike have so many strikebreakiHg
agencies been employed in this city at
one time.

Taft Is Unable
To Hold in Line
Southern Vote

About the most con> incing evidence
obta' 'lahle of the desperate nature of
the battle which President, raft and
the Taft leaders are waginC for the re-
Iomina ton OF the President Is to be
found in the list Of delegates selected
as given 0ut by Dlrnc.or Mckinley from
the taft headquarters.
Undei tn" caption: Table of Dele
gates Selected" Director Mckinley
gives President Taft 5S3 delegates
Roosevelt, 427: La Toilette. o.. and Cum
minis, 10. Five hundred and forty dele
gates are necessary to nominate.
Hope In First Ballot.
II is perfectly plain. and is admitted
~ everybody, that unless President
outset of the balloting he will be de-
feated In all probability his only hope
is on the first ballot.
On the first ballot he will get his
maximum of strength Unless he can
get $40 votes then his support will melt
away like ice before the assaults of a
July day.
It therefore becomes important to ex-
anime into the makeup of the 5S3 votes
which Director Mckinley is claiming
for the President On the basis of Mr..
McKinley's own figures there are only
forty-four votes standing between the
President and defeat.
Forty-four votes are as good as sew
eral hundred II they can be kept. The
question to be considered Is whether
Mr.. Taft can keep them.
Claims New York Vote.
In order to secure the $50, Mr. Nc
Kinley lists SO of the New York dele
gates for President Taft and 7 for
Roosevelt. Unless the informant ton
here is all at sea, the New York dele
cation will not line up in such a fash
ion. Roosevelt is generally consider
ed here to have much more strength
IN New York than Z votes.
Senator Dixon says Roosevelt will
get 30 votes from the New York dele
cation. and there is good reason to
believe that there are somewhere be-
tween 20 and 80 votes in New York
which President Taft cannot get. If
this Is true, then Mr. McKinleys list
should be shaded down to $50 or $40
votes.
That would leave President Taft, on
the basis OF the Mckinley iguEes.
with from 81 to 81 votes on the safe
margin of a denomination 1t should
