Chicago, ILL.,, June 22-Roosevelt,

opened with the party leaders hoping
to conclude tonight 1t was announc-
ed that tentative program for
morning, afternoon and night sessions
with the nomination as a climax had
been agreed upon. Elusive rumOrs,
however, had it that some complica-
tion might arise and that yesterdays
prosaic session might prove to be
really the calm before the storm. In
dications were that Roosevelt's name
would not be presented. With the COL
onel out of the race and Tafts nomi-
nation apparently a foregone conclu-
sion, the vice president matter was
discussed During the forenoon, Had
ley. Kenyon and Sherman were
among the names mentioned. 1t was
a weary crowd of delegates which
gathered in the convention hall this
morning. Many of them were pre-
pairing to go home or had gone home
during Friday night, being represent
ed today by alternates. Scores Of
other delegates planned to leave to-
night for their homes. no matter what
happened during today's session.

TrRING GOVERNMENT TO
 DEMAND LAWYERS RELEASE

London. Feb. S.-AIthough strenu- ,us,ly denying that there is any poll 4icai significance in the visit to Ger many. at this time. of British War Minister Haldane- there is an under current of expectation manifested at the foreign office, today, that indi- cated the importance of his trip. Ihe Tact that Halds7e attended a cabinet -neetfng which lasted for many hours, 5ust before he left for the continent: and that the London and provincial newspapers, today, bitterly denounced (5ern1any for imprfToning Counselor Stewart as a spy are regarded as slg. 1iec cant Unofficiauy it is admitted that there is grave political signIh- canoe in the visit at this particular time and that it may have a strong efrect on Great Britain's policy to- ward Germany.
 One the subjects to be taken mp oy Halo ne personally vi h the Ger man officials is the proposed rectlri- cation of mistakes made in the sur vey of the Anglo-German frontier in Africa This. 1t was ponted ont by persons familiar with the situation, would give the foreign minister an adeouate excuse for also taking up the Stewart case
 The London newspapers are parti- ctIarIy bitter, today, in their com -aeats on the Stewart sentence, in sisting that there was not a particle of evidence to show that he was a FyDy. They say he was the victim of German officialdom-"
 A demand was made by the news papers that the government demand Stewards release.
 The only paper which takes a diff ferent stand is The Evening Standard. which suggests tn at Haldane's visit may be for the purpose of discussing a disarmament plan with Germany.

HerCuIean Work To Rescue The 60
 Imprisoned Miners
Special from United Pres.

Jackson, Cal, Feb. s-A hundred workers were. today. striving franti- cally to pierce the tons of earth at the Bunker Hill lMine, at Amador City, to rescue the 65 miners impri- soned there. Every man who can be utilized Is on the job and frequent relays are arranged in order that not a single bit of energy may be lost as the character of the earth about the mine shaft is such that another slide is feared.
 The imprisoned men, 1t is believed, are alive and uninjured. By driving a pipe down into the drift. this was learned. and the men caught under the cave-in are directing their res- cuers how to proceed. Their rescue is considered certain unless another cave-in should result as they said they were using old timbers to brace up the working in which they have taken refuge.
 While the rescuing party worked feverishly to get the shaft reopened, the women and children of the inn prisoned men gathered about the mouth of the shaft, weeping bitterly It was finally necessary to drive them back so that they would not interfere with the workers, who labored all night.
 The cause of the cave-in was the collspse of rotten timbering, the Bunker Hill being one of the oldest mine in California. Because there was 50 feet to be dug through, today. the rescuers sank a number of pipes throueh the soft soil and rigged up an air pump to prevent the men dying of suffocation-

State SO.OnS Held
 Responsible For
 Bank Condition s
(special from United Press. ]

New London, Feb. s-The Connecti- cut legislature is held responsible for the slack examination of state banks which resulted in the Windsor Locks Savings bank muddle, in a letter made public, today, by George Whittlesey, a leading citizen
 The legislature seems never to have grasped the importance to the state of its saving banks he said 'or the tremendous task imposed up on the bank commission. It has fail ed entirely to put the commission up- on the dfgnified Easis obtaining in New York and Massachusetts, where the commission has a measure of au- thority lacking in this state And it has always underpaid it's commission CTS for their labor, although the banks would willingly pay for any supervision and examination which it felt was upon a sound basis
 Although the work of the bank comm ssioners as called for under the law of 1876 had increased in 34 years so that it was more than threefoId that of 1876, yet the state has not in- creased the working force of two men, although repeated demands have been made for clerical ass istance. Within a year or so, the commission has been allowed a clerk and stenogra pher but should have at least two more men to be equipped to do it's work proper Iy.''

YOUTHFUL PAIR TRIED TO GET HOTEL ROOM Came from Dance Hall Man Held In $1,O00
 Bonds

Joe Nemis. aged 20, of FPS StilInan street, and Annie MikIos, aged 16, living on HaIlett street, applied for q room at the Hotel Stratfeld about 2 o'clock in the morning. AS the girl was of childish appearance, the clerk was indignant and turned them away, also tipping off, the police to watch them.
 The pair then proceeded to the At 1antic hotel, where they again applied rentton until Officers Daley and Bene- detri were called in and hustled the two to police headquarters. They said that they had been to a dance in Sokol hall in the East Side.
 In the city court this morning the girl was turned over to the care of Matron Jack until tomorrow, when possibly arrangements may be made to have her committed to some state institution. The youth was held sn bonds of S1,0O0 for trial
