DAMAGING TESTIMONY.
Given by p. j. cooney in Darrow
 Bribery Trial.

Los Angeles, Cal, June 10.-Warn- ing witnesses to keep out of the state and notifying prosecution jurors in time to eva1e service when thought to be unfavorable to the defense, were part Of his duties as an investigator for the McNamara defense, according tc P J Cooney who took the stand today in the trial of Clarence s Oar TOW for jury bribery.
 The defense made a determines but futile effort to prevent Cooney from testifying to facts other than those directly bearing on the Lockwood case, on which Darrow is now being tried, The adverse ruling by Judge Hutton admits any evidence tending to show alleged corruption of witnesses called in the McNamara case.
 Cooney testified he hal been engag- ed in settlement work in Chicago prior to entering the employ Of the Me Namara defense.

Ferrara, speaker of the Cuban house of representatives, today addressed the American house of representatives and was given an enthusiastic re- ceptiUn.

ROOSEVELT SAYS FRAUD" AND TAFT SAYS COMMITTEE PRO-

TEDDY SUMS UP SITUATION
Makes Public Article for Next Issue of outIook-Taft Managers Say Rooseveit's Claims Are Ab-
 surd in Extreme.

New York, June 10. - Theodore Roose,tsN discussed present condi- tions at Chicago in an article enti- tied A Naked Issue of Right and Wrong made public tonight and to appear in the current issue of the Outlook MT Roosevelt says in part.
 The contest for the Republican nomination has now narrowed down to naked issue of right and wrong; for the issue is simply whether or not we shall permit a system of naked fraud, of naked theft from the people, to triumph
 T have made this contest on two great principles-first, the right of the people to rule and therefore in the exercise Of their deliberate judg- ment to control their government and their governmental agents and, sec ond, their duty so to rule as to bring about not only pontcal but social and industrial justice.
 q have endeavored everywhere to appeal, not to the politicians but to the people themselves and to get their judgment scores of times that l would do my best to concert them to my way of thinking. that | should acquiesce as matter of course 4. their judgment if it was adverse, but that if their judgment was favorable, didn't intend tamely to submit to an effort by the politicians to throw aside the verdict of the people and substitute a fake verdict of their own. This is precisely what Mir. Barnes, Mir. Mckinley and their associates and representative on the national committee at Chicago are ROW at tempung
 After discussing the primary results by states, Mir. Roosevelt continues
 "To recapitulate then In the Re publican states which have had di- rect primaries. nearly two and half million Republicans have voted and of these nearly two-thirds have voted against Mir Taft Tn the other Re- publican states where the primaries have been such as to give the peo- pie not an entire chance but some chance to express their will, the showing has been almost as heavily against MT. Taft.
 "On the aggregate the vote was two tO uilt dSdiuSt HlHhs III some states it went as high as five or six to one aganist him. The other states in the north which sent Taft delegations were states in which the Republican voters had no chance to vote. Ohio went by 30000 majority against Mir Taft at the primaries, but the Taft managers had refused to permit a vote to be taken at the primaries for the delegates at large and in the state convention by adroit political trickery they sent six Taft delegates to vote at Chicago for the man whom his own state had just repudiated by 30,000 majority.

Candidates Will Make Personal Can vass Of the Delegations From
 all States.

Chicago. June 1O.-The stage setting for the republican national convention was completed today with the opening of La Toilette and Cummins head. quarters at hotels
 Cummins headquarters were estab- lished in the same hotel that houses Taft and the Roosevelt workers. La Toilette headquarters is situated six blocks from the others. The several Headquarters tonight completed plans for the reception of delegates. Special committees to handle the delegates have been named and will be on duty from this time until the close of the convention.
 A direct appeal will be made to eaCh individual delegate by the cam paign manager of each candidate for the nomination, despite instructions or pledges. No possible vote in the convention will be overlooked and any indication among delegates of shifting sentiment will precipitate a lively scramble among managers.
 A number of prominent Roosevelt leaders today declared reports of d possible bolt by the Roosevelt dele gates in case the presidents friends succeeded in nominating Mir. Taft, were without reasonable foundation.
 Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho, said:
 No bolt for me. haven't even considered such a possibility

Chicago, June i0.-Today's work of the Republican national committee added 12 more delegates to the cat alogue of the Taft strength on the temporary roll of the national Repgb lican convention.
 The much discussed Indiana cnn- tests came before the committee and were decided. all In Taft's favor
 With the 72 delegates comprised in the southern contests decided last week in the Alabama, Arkansas, Flor ida and Georgia cases, today's gains make a total of s4 delegates added 10 the Taft forces by the work of the national committee. And with the POI instructed and uncontested dele gates credited to him, they bring his present total on the temporary roll up to 2S5 A large proportion of the contested seats among the f70 cases still Co be passed on by the commit tee represent delegates instructed for Taft; the precise number is the sub ject of much dispute, nor can Il be stated how many of these contests Taft will win.
 The cases decided today were those of the Indiana delegation at large four in number, headed by Col Harry $ New, chairman of the convention committee on arrangements and in cluding former Vice President Charles w Fairbanks, and the district dele gations of two each from the first. third and thirteenth districts
 The contest in the fourth district was withdrawn and the committee confirmed the two sitting tfaft) delegates.
 The reai fight of tho day in the committee came, not on the delegates al large, where it had been expected, the committee was unanimous in giv- ing them to Taft, but over the seating of two Taft delegates from the thir- teenth, or South Bend district At tempts of the Roosevelt attorneys to introduce certain affidavits declared by them to bear the signature ot majority of the delegates to the dis trict convention at South Bend, aT which the Taft delegates were chosen precipitated the only sensational in terchange of the day and occasioned sudden reversal Of the committee vote, which was not explained to the satisfaction of the Roosevelt men.
 Senator Borah taunted the Taft men about it, telling them they changed front because they were scared.
 The worse scared lot of men ever saw" he said.
 The Taft men denied that they were scared, or that any special ligh' had broken in upon them; they Tn sisted that their first vote, against admitting the afhdavits, was because of their desire not to delay the hear ings by the necessity of giving the Taft side an opportunity to answer them or create a precedent, whicr would be embarrassing in later cases Their reversal of the vote was coup led with q specific declaration tha' it was not to be regarded as pfece- dent Jn this form the RooseNei' men all voted against it.
 So the committee heard the am davits with verbal testimony in con travention of their allegations anc then voted to seat the Taft delegates The vote. S6 to IA, represents wha has been the lineup between the fac lions ever since the committee came together
