COLONEL GETS A FIRST JOLT
Enroute to Chicago His Train Held Up for an Hour and Slightly Dam aged by a Boulder on the Track
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH]

ALBANY, N. Y, June IA large boulder in the path of the train bear ing Roosevelt to Chicago brought his journey to an abrupt halt les than an hour after it began. The train bowling along at high speed when two miles north of TarrytOwn it came to a sud- den stop with a series of jolts and crunching of the brakes. The acci- dent was not serious but it delayed the train an hour.
 Roosevelt sat quietly in state room during the halt without coming out to inquire the cause of the delay. The eX-president remained in SeClusion during the trip up the Hudson reading and chatting with Mrs. Roosevelt eX- cept when he went to the dining car for dinner.
 The pilot of the engine was badly bent and twisted. It is believed that the boulder was rolled on the track by boys. The break beams were bent and two shoes were wrenched out of place.
 Politics were the chief topic of dis cussiOn among the passengers on the colonel's train but they had few Op- pOrtunities to see him.

REMARKS BY HENEY

In the three districts where the Roosevelt contestants appeared today the colOners partisans on the com mittee voted against the seating of the Taft delegates but the only strong comment was on the decision in the Ninth Tennessee district case which Francis J. Heney said was a clean steal"
 The contest from Alaska was dis posed of without an argument The credentials of the cOntesting delega- ton, elected at Valdez on May 29 were received by Secretary Hayward but the committee declined to con- slider them. An early termination of the--day:s proceedings resulted from the desire of the presidents attorney for more time to prepare the cases involving thirty contested delegates from Texas A continuance was taken until tomorrow. The Virginil and Washington cases went over for the same reason.
 Tn Virginia. the chief issue is whether the conventions electing Taft delegates were held in districts or buildings from which negroes were excluded There are yet contested delegates from Texas, 30; Virginia. 20; Washington, IA; District of Co., lumbia, ?; North Carolina, ?.

Earl Rogers Reminded That He Was on the Opposite Side From His Client in the Trial of the Mo NamaraS
FORGING EVIDENCE
 ON THE PROSECUTION
A Unique Point Which the Court Tentatively Settled in Favor of the Defense to the Great Indignation of the Constitution
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

LOS ANGELES, June 14-Chief Council Rogers raised unique point in the Darrow trial in this afternoons session when he asked that o. A. Tveitmoe and A. Johannsen, San Fran cisco labor leaders, be placed on the divergence between Rogers and his client arising out of the Caplan matter which came into the evidence yesterday and which. according to Rogers, in volved the preservation of the defen- iants' rights.
 Rogers participation in the McNa- mara prosecution rose up to confront him in the present bribery trial, threatened to cause his withdrawal as chief counsel in the Darrow defense and evoked threat from the prosecution that probably would have meant the summary ending of the trial if it had been fulfilled.
 Rogers request aroused a storm of protest from the prosecution and it was contended that the procedure was unheard of District Attorney Fred ericks declared that unless the state was allowed to proceed with the evil dence as planned and as set down in the code irreparable harm would be done to the prosecution.
 Assistant District Attorney Ford de- clared that it was a matter of ethics which Rogers should have threshed out before he accepted employment from Darrow.
 There was further outbreak by the prosecution when Judge Hutton ten tatively ruled in favor of the defense but the court granted permission to the district attorney to cite authorities in support of his contention before allow ing Tveitmoe and Johannsen to testify.
 Evidence in support of the conspir- acy charge by the prosecution was ad- duced through the appearance on the stand of Charles Wier foreman of the grand jury that indicated the McNa- maras. Wier testified that when Geo. Behm, an uncle of Ortie McManiga1 was brought before the grand jury he replied to several hundred questions put to him with the answer "that don't concern the case"
 An affidavit sworn to by Wier was made in support of an application for 0ftaton to Behm for ,contempt of court for his refusal to answer the grand jurys questions was identified by the witness and read into the rec ord Fredericks announced that he would prove that Darrow through a detective had bribed Behm to commit perjury. Behm is a witness for the prosecution in the present trial.

TERRIFIED NATIVES
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1


 NAKNEK, Bristol Bay, Alaska, June 14.-(Via Wireless to COrdova) Natives are Hooking from the in terior to the large cannery centers on the Bristol Bay side of the Alaska peninsula bringing reports that many of their tribesmen perished in the mountains during the eruption of the Katmai volcano. The reports are not given too much credence here as the natives are greatly excited and so terrified that they cannot give an intelligible account of their eXper- fences during the eruption. No word has been received here from the vil- lages on the strait side of the penin- sula, the real danger zone and the fate of the people there is still mat ter of conjecture.

THE COLONEL'S COMING
Various Predictions Concerning the
 Effect of His Presence.


 Effect of His Presence.
 Roosevelt's actual start from New York this afternoon to inject his per sonality into the battle for delegates in the convention was practically the only topic of conversation after the fact became known. The probable ef- feet of his presence here is the sub ject of various comment and forecast When it became known that ROOse- welt was coming some of his eX- uberant followers proposed a "tri- umphal entry" for the candidate but this was instantly discouraged by Dixon and others experienced in pOli- tics.
 They expressed an opinion that such a procedure would be unwise and would have an effect quite Op- posite from that intended These cOunsels prevailed at a late hour tonight. Arrangements are made for a Roosevelt mass meeting on Mon day evening. It is said tonight that Roosevelt would be the only speaker Whether he will be given an oppor- tunity to speak before the conven- ton depends upon whether he de- sires to do so. It is not known to- night whether Roosevelt will attend the convention in person. It is an nounced that Taft will come here.
 Little change was shown in the situ- ation tonight as regards the tenn porary organization, the work of the committee on credentials, platform etc Whoever has control of the tenn porary organization, depends upon Q majority of the delegates.
