TRICKS
SAYS ROOSEVELT
IN HIS COMMENT OF CAPTURE OF
SIX DELEGATES AT LARGE BY
TAFT FORCES.

oyster Bay, n. Y. June 4.-"Pure
political brigandage!' said Col. Roose-
welt tonight of the capture of OhiO's
six delegates at large to the repu3li-
can national convention by support
ers of President Taft. He said it was
fresh and conclusive proof thaS
Mr.. Taft and his advisers care nothing
for the will of the people. In his state
ment Colonel Roosevelt said in part:
This action in Ohio is merely Il
fresh and conclusive proof that Mr.
Taft and his advisers care nothing
for the will of the people and are
eager to get the nomination without
any reference to the methods by
which it is secured, without any ref
erence TO whether or not delegates
represent the people whom they are
supposed to represent 1t is crown
ing illustration of Mr.. Taft's theory
of government of the people by a
representative part of the people"
Saying that Mr.. Barnes has been
chosen to head the Taft forces, the
Colonel declares that Mr.. Barnes
stands for the right of the bosses
to rule the people and the suprem-
acy of privilege over the rights OF
humanity" He adds that how the
principles advocated by Mr.. Barnes
work in practice is set forth in the
report of the special committee OF the
New York state senate appointed to
investigate the city and county OF Al
bany. This report the Colonel com
mends to those men (including Mr..
TAFT himsel) who may wish to see
just what the Judgment of egisla-
tive committee of Mr.. Barnes state
is as to the workings Of Mr.. Barnes
theory of government in his own city
Col Roosevelt has not made up his
mind whether he will go to the Chi

preparations to bring the seat OF war

LIVELY FIST FIGHT IN
CAPITOL CORRIDOR
REPR PRG5ENTATIVE THOMAS OF

LOCAL NEWSPAPER MEN.

Washington, June An the calm
atmosphere of the house judiciary
commiccee was bred today a battle
that failed to ruffle the Archibald

Representative Thomas of Kentucky

and sturdy.
The battle was declared a draw.
Nj Thomas, who is a member
of the committee, entered the COM
mittee room some time after the
hearing had started He was flush
ed and apparently laboring under
excitment. Waving copy of the
local newspaper, he proceeded to
read an account of yesterdays pro-
ceedings in the committee which he
construed as being a direct attack
on himself. He paid his compli-
ments to the newspaper fraternity
and withdrew A few minutes later
he sent a messenger in for Mr.. An
min, who promptly went into the hall
Says Story Untrue.
Annin's paper published what
Thomas claimed was an untrue sto-
ry, that Thomas had denounced the
house judiciary committee and that
he had infrequently attended its
inquiry into the Archibald case. He
had Amin called out Of the hearing
room and told the reporter that he
was mistaken. 'Liar" flashed back !
and forth, and Kirby reinforced An
min.
Thomas own version, told in a
formal statement, said Amin struck
at Thomas and Thomas struck back
"He ran. still striking at me, ad-
ded Thomas, "and a fellow by the |
