CLEAR SKY PROMISES
BIG BENEFIT CROWD

Only a heavy downpour of
rain before 3:15 o'clock will
prevent the big benefit ball game
this afternoon at Shredder park.
The heavy showers last night
soaked the grounds thoroughly,
but the Fitting clouds with few
peeps by Old Sol and the brisk
winds of the morning dried 1t
out fairly well so that the Ta-
coma Tigers and the Victoria
Bees will have a fairly fast dia-
mond for their great struggle.
The weather man announced
this morning that showers inn
pend for today and tomorrow.
despite the prediction the parade
was scheduled to start at 1890
o'clock sharp from the CONNER
cial club building at IL and A
streets. The parade, headed by
the bali players in automobiles,
passed to the ball grounds where
the game will be opened by
James H. Dege pitching the first
ball.
Charles, Schmutz, the Tiger
spit ball artist, is slated to off
eiate on the mound against Mar
verson for the Victoria Bees
Fully 5000 people are expected
to attend the game.

WELL KNOWN TACOMA MEN, THEIR WORK AND THEIR HOBBIES

George B. Burke had visions of
a college presidency when he
graduated from Shenandoah col
lege and then started teaching
school. He changed his mind af-
ter teaching the young idea how
to shoot for five years and con-
cluded that fame and wealth
dwelt in the editorial quill. With
an old Washington hand press,
back in his native West Virginia,
he became an editor, and he still
makes a cross for a period and
encircles authorizations to have
them spelled out and has other
queer little tricks that editors
have in marking copy" He later
went to banking and finally
moved to PittsDurg.
Burke. concluded that Horace
Greeley's advice was better than
his example and he quit his pro-
fession took his advice and came
west. In 1897 with Louis p.
White and Hon. William G..
Brown, now congressman from
West Virginia, he started the
Bank of Whatcom, in what is now
Bellingham.
He made success as bank
er and in 1907 became manager
of the Bankers Trust company
bank here.
Under his guidance the bank
has made great growth and last
week the directors elected him
vice president as well as general
manager.

CHlCAGO, June IS.-GfInu1ng
its way steadily along the flatten-
ed forms of Roosevelt contes-
tants, the Taft steam roller here
today mashed flat the two Roose-
welt delegates elected from the
fourth district of California who
were elected by a majority Of
more than $4,000 in the state
wide primary, and seated i'm their
stead two Taft delegates from
the district, who had a local ma
jority of about $50 votes.
The vote by the national COM
mittee followed almost exactly
the lines of usual division be-
tween Taft and Roosevelt adher-
ents on the committee, 1t being
81 to 16. The decision was
reached in the face of furious
denunciation by Francis j. Heney
of San Francisco, who shouted
that he was there to warn Presi-
dent Taft that in accepting those
delegates he was a receiver OF
stolen goods.
F. G. Bryan, law partner of
General Charles Dick, President
Taft's contest manager, argued
for Taft. Heney spoke for the
Roosevelt delegates, who were
Charles s. Wheeler and Philip
Bancroft.
Heney on the Floor.
At the outset Heney denounc-
ed the claim of the Taft people
as ridiculous, and designed to
rob the people of representation.
In order that he might be ellg-
ible to argue the case, Heney sur
rendered his committeeman
proxy to Thorson of South Da-
kota.
In advancing the claim of the
Taft delegates, Bryan said:
"The call for the republican
convention contains the follow
ing clause:
ut is provided that delegates
and alternates from the state at
learge and for each congressional
district may be elected In con-
formity with the law of the state
in which the election is held, II
the state committee or any such
congressional committee so di-
rects.' The section closes with
the following provisions:
".But 1t is provided further
that I'm no state shall an election
be held so as to prevent dele
gates from any congressional dis
trict and their alternates from
being selected by the republican
electors i'm that district,
"Despite The, fact that the Taft
ticket received the majority OF
votes In the fourth district, the
secretary of state of California
ignored the rule of the national
committee and issued certificates
to the 20 Roosevelt delegates
who received a majority of the
votes from the state at large.
The republican electors from
the fourth California district
having cast majority for Taft
delegates, are entitled to seats in

ture had "flagrantly and deliber-
