New not voting.
Intense factional feeling between
Roosevelt and Taft supporters was In
evidence at the session of the com
mittee when 1t assembled to resume
its hearings on contested delegations.
When the committee assembled Ii
was announced that the contest from
the Fourth California district would
first be taken up. Ex-senator Dick
representing the Taft side, asked for
a postponement, to which the Roose-
welt men objected. An acrimonious
debate followed, which was terminal
ed by test vote in which the Taft
men triumphed by vote of 3S to 49,,
a result which is taken to clearly in
dicate the relative strength of the
contending factions on the committee.
The Indiana contests were then TAX
en- up, beginning with the four dele
gates at large. Once more the faction
al feeling came to the surface, the
Roosevelt counsel several times refer
ring to steam roller" and using other
expressions which angered the Taft
men on the committee and resulted In
Chairman Rosewater insisting on the
argument being conducted in a more
dignified manner.

delegates credited to the president
stood; Alabama, 16; Arkansas, 16;
Florida, IL, and Georgia, 2S-Total, ~.

RESIDENTS OF KODIAK SAFE
Were Endangered by Eruption OF Alas
kan Volcano.

Cordova, Alaska, June 1.-THE
wireless silence which has kept back
news OF the plight of the residents OF
Kodiak island since the outbreak ot
Katmai volcano last Thursday was
broken by brief message from the
revenue cutter Manning, received by
the navy wireless station here. say.
ing:
Residents Kodiak safe."
No further news of the certain de.
struction wrought by the volcano
could be obtained from the Manning
because of the highly electrified condi.
tion of the air.
II LIS believed the Manning was in
the vicinity of the town of Kodiak and
has probably gone to the relief OF the
stricken fishing villages on the other
side of the island and almost at the
foot of the spouting volcano.

THREE PLATFORMS LIKELY
Delegates at Chicago VIII Have Much
to Choose From.

Chicago, June 1.-Two minority re-
ports In addition to the majority re-
port may be presented to the Repub-
lican national convention from the
committee on resolutions.
Present indications are that the Taft
forces will control the resolutions
committee by reason of the fact that
a majority OF the states and terri.
tories were carried by the president.
II does not necessarily follow that a
majority Of the delegates will vote for
Taft. Consequently the platform
which is being drafted under the d.
rection of Senator La Toilette will be
submitted to the convention In the
form of minority reports.

"TlIe ROSARY.

Every woman thinks she knows how to keep alive the love of her hus-
 band. Wonder if the girls ill this city know this art? Sometimes it is said they don't At any rate they will know after they witness a perform ance of "The Rosary which is com ing to the Elks Theater next Friday, February 16th.
 In "The Rosary" there are three distinct love stories. The principal love affais is that of Bruce and Vera NTilton This huz zband and wife love each other with their whole hearts.
 She is a devout woman, but he is a born atheist. Being a man of much business interests, MT. Wilton neglects his home, and Vera resorts to tn green-eyed monster to bring her hus- band back to her. She begins a fir tation with a man named Kenward Wright Circumstances bring Wright into the Wilton home where he falls in love with Vera's sister, Alice. One n:ght when he and Alice have arranged for a secret elopement, Vera, entering the room as the couple are leaving through an open window, is discovered by her husband. The result is two broken hearts; therefore jealousy is an evil, and not an advisable way of keeping a man interested.
 The second love story is btween Kathleen O'Connor and Charley Har row. Kathleen is a little Irish girl, who believes the man she will marry must know the Irish history thorough y. Charley knows nothing of Irish history, so Kathleen attempts to| teach him. To keep Charley interested Kathleen uses the simplest of language dress and actions. Charley is attract cd to her by her simpleness, so it is shown that the simplest truth attracts the man of the world and keeps him interested.
 In the love story between Lesura and Skeetsrs, the audience finds that contrariness to mans vanity makes him only the more interested in the pursuit of the one thing upon which he brides himself of greater than all else. During the scenes Skeeters is very proud of his ability to tell stories, but t isn't until after an original system is employed that Skeeters succeeds in getting LeSura to laugh.
 All of this love is in "The Rosary" and with competent cast presenting it, the play is worth attending.
