 Objects to Libel on California.
 Mir. Heney objected to having Cali fornia nbeled in this way"
 He was called to order by the chair man who said he would have an op- portunity to be heard later.
 MT. Bryan said he believed the com mittee ought not to submit to the at tacks that had been made upon it by Governor Johnson of California, "even though he were governor of a sover- eign state."
 MT. Heney opened his defense of the Roosevelt delegates in a vigorous manner.
 T appeal to you Senator Murray Crane" he began. when the chairman told him to address the committee in proper terms.
 Has No Responsibility to Lose.
 T am addressing a member of the spectability to lose" Mir. Heney re- piled.
 Are you here to argue this case ?'' demanded MT. Chubb of Florida.
 "No," shouted Heney. T have come here for the purpose of apprising the president that he is accepting stolen goods if he takes these delegates when you give them to him"
 MT. Rosewater again told Mir. Heney to confine himself to the argu- ments and not talk to the galleries. ''
 Had Not Proceeded Legally.
 Continuing, MT. Heney insisted the call of the republican national com mittee provided that state laws should not interfere with district election of delegates provided the district wanted to exercise its right. In the Fourth district, he said, the republican or eanization had never proceeded legally to the selection of delegates.
 MT. Devine asked Mir. Heney if the California law did not prohibit any district from electing delegates, and il en did not have to be "at large"
 Yes, to get on the ticket" shouted Heney, "but not to be seated by thiG committed"
 Answer my question:" said De. vine, mo district could select it's owI | delegates under your law?'

 Mir Heney then presented aff1daviti | showing that a confusion had existed in the voting registers in the Fourtl and Fifth California districts, anC that later examination showed tha Roosevelt, men had received a majorit, | of votes.

President Taft Likely to Veto the Appropriation Bill
 to Save the Commerce Court
BILL PROVIDES FOR ABOLITION OF THE COURT
Must Be Passed Before Congress Adouns to Enable Pres
 dent, Congressmen, Judges and Department Employees to Collect Their Stipend-SenaOr Smith Introduces Bill
 to Abolish Court and Drop Five Judges From Payroll

Washington, June 12.-So strongly is President Taft said to believe in the need for the commerce court that his friends predicted tonight that he would veto the legislative, executive and ju- dicial appropriation bill, which pro- vides for the abolition of the court. The bill also provides for the salaries of the president, all the federal judges and court officials, members of con gress and their mileage, members of the presidents cabinet &pd employees of the great government departments.
 Veto Would Be Unusual.
 The veto would be unusual, although government officials did not believe to- night that it would mean anything more than second consideration of the bill and possibly the passage of a separate bill abolishing the court. The legislative, executive and judicial ap- propriation bill must be passed before congress finally adjourns, and unless the two-thirds majority necessary to put it through each house of congress over the presidents veto can be se- cured, it probably will be sent again

TOO SHARP TURN
 AT FULL SPEED,
Finding of Board Which Investigated
 Aeroplane Disaster.

Washington, June 12,-The eol- lapse of the army aeroplane at Collaxs park, Md, near here, last night, which resulted in the death of Lieut. Leigh ton W. Hazelhurst, IT,, and the Wright pilot, A. L. Welch, was due to terrific air pressure on the aluminium painted wings, caused by too snarp a turn ag full speed to ascend, according to tha preliminary finding of the army board which today investigated the accidAnt.
 Although the board has not prepared any written report, 1t reported orally today to Colonel George P. Scriven, acting chief signal officer, as follows.
 Tn. his endeavor to succeed in tha altitude climb, MT. Welch started from an elevation of about 150 feet and drove the machine toward the ground with the engine running at reduced speed in order to give the impetus with which to make his upward climb. When he reached a point near ths ground from which he was to start the climb at a terrific speed, Weich turned on the full power. and al the same time turned the machine Into the air. The angle of ascent was so sharp and the speed so great that the ma chine was incapable of withstandinK the pressure of the air, and the wings therefore collapsed"
 A pail hung over the entire resarva- ton at College Park today. and ths flag on the reservation as well aa ttosa on private grounds in ths vi- cinity were at hah-masL
 Colonel Scriven issued orders that no more flying should take piacs at ths reservation during the remandier of this week.

 Ruined by Ashes.

Cordova Alaska, June 12.-No word has been received from the settlements on the mainland at the foot of hstmsi volcano, where the greatest suffering exists, whether or not any of the people of that section survived the eruption.

 The refugees aboard the Manning have regained confidence with the re- turn of normal air conditions and are leaving the ship in an endeavor to reach their ruined homes.

 The only water the people at Kodiak are using is that distilled from sea- water by the Manning. all other sup plies having been polluted.
