ROOSEVELT MEN TO CONTEST
TAFT DELEGATES IN CALIFORNIA .

san Francisco. Calf. May 1O.-The
failure OF the Taft delegates in Cali
fornia to sign the preference and dele
gates pledges. promises an exceedingly
complex situation. Roosevelt support
ers already have planned TO contest
the rights Of the delegates, should they
be elected.
Both sides are agreed that the Taft
delegates had a legal right TO omit
signing the pledges. inasmuch as both
pledges, under the law. are optional
but not obligatory. Roosevelt leaders
declare the purpose Of the action was
TO save some struggling votes for Taft
in the event that Roosevelt carried the
majority OF the districts. Had they
signed the pledges. they would have
been obliged to vote for Roosevelt, as
the delegates pledge binds them ito
support that candidate who shall have
received the highest number of votes
cast throughout the state"
From Roosevelt headquarters comes
the intimatiOn that any attempt TO seat
delegates from scattering districts win
/ be contested on the ground that the
Taft men are not delegates from any
| particular district but delegates at
large

FIRST OF WORLDS MOSQUES
Interesting Legends That Are Con-
nected With Famous st. Sophia In
ConstantinopIe.

Famed throughout the world for it's
beautiful architecture, the mosque of
st. Sophia has a legend that acquires
sudden interest now" writes Euro
pean correspondent of the Daily
News. Originally the mosque was
a Christian church. The priest
was in the act of celebrating mass on
that memorable 10th of May, 1853,
when Sultan Mohammed rode his
horse into the sacred edifice, follow
ed by his victorious Turks, and be-
gan Strengthening the Christians. The
priest fed from the altar, passing
through a small door behind it, but
when the pursuing Turks reached the
spot, intending to follow the priest.
they found but blank wall-the door
had disappeared, and all traces of the
fugitive were gone. But the story
goes that when once again the mosque
Of st. Sophia becomes Christian
place of worship, the wall will open Of
it's own accord and reveal the secret
door out of which the aged priest will
step forth to conclude the celebration
of the mass at the altar.
Another legend, recounted even by
the Turks themselves, tells of two
monumental candles built into the
apse Of the mosque. On every high
Christian festival these candles are
supernaturally set alight. When these
candles are quite burnt down into their
sockets the Turkish domination will
be over, and the mosque of holy wis
dom will be a Christian church once
more
"The Balkan allies are now wonder
ing how far the candles have been con-
sumed. and hoping that the present
year may witness the fulfllment Of
this ancient prophecy"
