CHICAGO, June 14.-Bitter feeling
between the Roosevelt and Taft mem
hers of the national committee came
to a climax today in fist fight that
followed a decision of the committee
seating two Taft delegates in the third
Oklahoma district. The excitepent
over this clash had hardly died down
when the committee seated two more
Taft men from the first South Carolina
district. This brought the total of con-
tested delegates 161 for Taft and for
Roosevelt.
There was near approach to gen.

her following Oklahoma hearing. Only
the quick action of detectives prevent
ed the situation from becoming more
serious when Taft man struck a
Roosevelt partisan and was in turn
belated by another lieutenant Of the
former president.
Grant Victor. L. s. marshal in the
Eastern District of Oklahoma, was
the Taft beligerent. L. G. Disney was
the Roosevelt man attacked and Pat
rick Dore of Westerville, Okla, came
to Disney's aid.

Disney made remarks about me
which alleged thievery and other
things" Victor said. "Of course / hit
him would hit any man who would
say those things about me-" The en-
nipresence of detectives in the room
was shown by the quick action in part
ing the fighters. The two blows had no
sooner been struck than each of the
three men were being soothed by two
officers Other detectives were there
TO uuell the outbreak which threatened
to occur at any moment No arrests
were made.
The debate over the third Oklahoma
district brought out the most bitter
feeling that has prevailed during the

A VEST pocket telephone has
~ been invented for general
= use II was invented by a
German concern and has been thor
oughly tried out in Berlin. where 1t
has been found to work satisfac-
torily.
A compact receiver and transmit
ter ht into a small circular nickel
case two and half inches in d.
ameter and three-quarters of an
inch thick The whole contrivance
weighs only seven ounces and may
be carried in a lady's handbag or
attached to her chatelaine.
It will be understood, OF course,
that this device does not in itself
enable one to telephone without first
connecting II with the general tele-
phone system.
On every street, however, contact
places have been provided at very
short distances. They are fastened
10 walls, doors, trees, lampposts or
other convenient places. They are
tightly enclosed, so that neither hui
mfdity nor storms can damage them,
and they are thoroughly insulated.
The advantage Of the continuance
as far as the telephone user is con
cerned lies In the fact that one can
now telephone wherever one hap
pens to be. 1t is no longer neces-
sary to enter a busy drug store or
other pay station and wait ones turn
or to walk a great distance. in
sparsely populated sections. to find
such a station at all. There are 50
many OF these contact places that
II is now as easy to telephone as il
Is 20 mail a letter. Indeed. in the
busy portions Of Berlin there are
two or three OF these contact places
to every block.
OF course, one misses the privacy
OF the telephone booth, although the
pocket telephone is so delicately
constructed that one need speak in
only a very low tone Of voice.

And imagine,

ates the telephone system, the new
contrivance means a great saving,
as the pay station operators are thus
made unnecessary.
Every person equipped with one
OF these pocket telephones has a
simple and speedy means of reach
ing the police. the fire houses, the
hospitals or other institutions need
ed on an emergency, for the tele-
phone central operators are directed
to be particularly prompt in giving
the desired con-
nection in such
cases. s,
In consequence
OF the enormous
expansion of the -
German capital,
there are many >,s@s-Ss~'~
outlying districts
which are rendered unsafe through
insufficient policing, and the pocket
telephone was readily adopted as a
partial solution of this problem. The
new system Is greatly favored as
an adjunct to the police system gen
orally, however, for every policeman
is provided with a pocket phone and
can communicate with headquarters
or other city departments whenever
he finds it necessary.
In the parks and forests the con
tact stations are located on conven-
lent trees, and one may now take a
long walk through the woods and
still be In touch OF city at all times.
The pocket telephone has not yet
found its way across the ocean. but
il seems to be so satisfactory that
there is little doubt that before long
we, too, will be using il. The police
in many American cities have, OF
course, already adopted a somewhat
similar system for communication
between their posts and station
houses, bu, they are simply provided
with keys to boxes in which ordi,
nary telephones are kept. The porta.
