claims, instead of retaining the pres
ent system of private and costly litiga-
! ton in the courts. Il think" said Pro-
| fessor Chandler, that at present it
costs more in California to permanent
| ly define the rights to waterways and
| systems than it costs to perfect the
later system itself The method now
| in operation in Oregon is by far the
best of any that has yet been sug-
gested, all controversies as to water
rights in that state being determined
at the same time and by a competent
board of engineers.
Il cannot, however. see the need of
legislation that will have the effect Of
redefining the rights to water systems
in Southern California, where every
claim has already been adiudicated
by the courts after costly and long
drawn out litigation. The systems here
have been developed to a greater de-
gree of efficiency than any in Califor-
mia, and for that matter than anv n
the country. To again define these
rights would tend to confuse the pres
ent well ordered and regulated water
Developments
At the conclusion of Professor Chan
Gler's address, the meeting was thrown
open for general discussion of the
proposed legislation and of water and
irrigation problems generally. Alfred
P. Griffith objected to the bill on the
ground that it provided for too manv
forfeitures in case of non-user. and
that the provision would tend to dis
courage the development of water
courses. and especially Objectionable
was the section of the bill which pro-
posed that the irrigating and domes
tic use of water be separated.
''If this particular section of the bill
is retained" said Mr. Griffith cit
would mean the expenditure of mil
lions of dollars in Southern California
counties to separate the two systems,
and We have already expended Suffi-
cient money in perfecting our titles
without incurring this extra expense"
Considerable discussion was also
had upon senate constitutional amend
BILE to use the bonds of irrigation dis
tricts as securities for loans of public
moneys to banks, but the association
took no official action upon this prop
osition.
1t was decided that the annual
meeting of the association be held on
the first Thursday in November. and
meanwhile the executive committee
is to take whatever steDs it deems
necessary for the protection of South
ern California water interests.

They got as far as the street when
they were oYertaken by several OF
their number who told them they had
acted too hastily. 1t was then de-
cided to return to the committee room
to make a fight there.
The proposed adoption of a rule
limiting argument OF contested cleo
ton cases before the credentials com
mittee to five minutes for district ca
ses and ten minutes for state cases,
precipitated the bolt. George l.. Rec
ord conversed this afternoon with
Col. Roosevelt over the telephone.
The action was premature. however
according to Roosevelt generals who
came to the scene at top speed. In
stead OF waiting for action on the
resolutions, the Roosevelt men left
before any rules had been adopted.
The rules which brought on the
fight were presented by James A.
Hemenway of Indiana, They proyid-
ed
THAT no contest cases should be
considered except those appealed
from the decisions OF the national
committee.
THAT none should be taken up
where the decision OF the national
convention had been unanimous.
THAT cases should be consolidated
where such action had been taken at
the previous hearing.
That the contestants who were
not seated usually the Roosevelt
mem should open the arguments.
That ten minutes be allowed for
state cases and five for district ca
SEES, for counsel on each side.
That no evidence be considered
that was not considered at the previ-
GUS hearing"
The last two provisions brought on
the trouble, Hugh I. Halbert OF Min
nesota, and other Roosevelt men
claiming the committee should open
all evidence in all cases.
After the return of the Roosevelt
members an amendment was intro
duced making the limit of time on
state cases 80 minutes for each side
and Is minutes for district cases.

Probably to Worry Over

Springfield, Mass, June 20.-One
of the most terrible tragedies Spring
field has known in years was enacted
late yesterday afternoon in the little
four room cottage at ~ Wait street,
when Mrs. Clara B. Cross, 40. wife OF
Arthur C. Cross, carpenter, took her
own and the lives of three Of her
children, Gertrude, Hazel and Garroid
aged respectively. nine, eight and
three years, by gas asphyxiation. The
suicide and child murder was com
mitted in the front room OF the cot
tage while the housekeeper, Mrs. Lii
liam Mullens, was away, the three
other children, Mildred and Marjorie,
twins, FIVE years old, and Vinton, a.
year old baby, being left in adjoining
rooms and unaware OF the awful deed
the mother was carrying out SO near
to them.
Mrs. Cross and the three children
had probably been dead only q short
time when Mr.. Cross. returning home
about Z p. m, from his worTat So
mers, CT, discovered half of bis fam
| lily lying in the darkened and gas,fill-
ed room beyond all hope of returning
life. Mr.. Cross realized that his wife
had been mentally unbalanced 70 a
slight extent for several years. but
he had never suspected such q terri
BILE result. All that was left to the
husband were the three other child
rem and a note which the wife had
written just before she took tue lives
of her children and ended her owD.
This note was proof of the awful
deliberateness of the mothers act.

It was said that 500 policemen and

ROOSEVELT SENDS
ULT|MANUM TO
CONVENTION
Will Bolt Unless Roll is Purged
Of Stolen Delegates.
COMPROMISE Is PROBABLE
Neither Side Wants open Rupture
and Agreement on Gov. Hadley
May Result
COMPROMISE is PROBABLE

Chicago, July 2O.-Theodore Roose-
welt this noon issued formal state
ment that he would bolt and lead a
third party unless the convention
purged its roll of the fraudulently
elected delegates and completed its
work on an honest basis.
Col. Roosevelt is preparing an ex'
pllcit statement which will be given
to each delegate.
The result of this expected action
renders il likely that the moderate
followers of both Taft anc Roosevelt
will now get together on a new can
didate who will be satisfactory to
the progressives
This candidate is most likely to be
Governor Herbert S. HadleY of Mis-
souri, Gov. Hadley, Gov. Johnson
and other Roosevelt leaders announce
that they will follow Roosevelt.
The convention met today at noon,
took a recess until o'clock to give
the committee on credentials time
to work. 1t is improbable, however,
that the committee can finish its work
before late tonight
Chicago, June 1.-the Roosevelt
forces met their second defeat in the
republican national convention today
in a session which had for its out
standing feature a remarkable demon
stration of nearly an hours duration
in honor of Gov. Herbert s. Hadley of
Missouri.
All of the Roosevelt delegates join
ed in this demonstration while some
of the Taft states lent a voice.
One enthusiastic Pennsylvania
jumped to the stage and called:
Three cheers for Hadley. the next
president OF the United States"
Gov Hadley led the fight on the
convention floor today to GUST 90 con
tested delegates and TO seat 92 Roose
welt men in their places.
The convention finally refused &c
entertain the motion by a vote Of
564 to $40.
This transferred the fight to the
committee on credentials, appointed
! just before the convention adjourn
ed until tomorrow noon.
The ovation rendered TO Gov Had
ley OF Missouri, by the Taft anC
Roosevelt delegates alike at the con
vention is interpreted by many al
the possible forerunner of a boom To-
that executive for president. At thu
close of the remarkable demonstra
ton accorded him a number of dele
gates. representing both factions, sta
ted that ut looked as though the con
vention will have to fall back on

Candidate for vice-President

GOVERNOR JOHN A. MEAD
Of Vermont
Candidate for Vice-President
Governor John A. Mead of Vermont
is a candidate for the vice presidency
He is a business man whose build
ing up of the great Howe Scale com
pany has made him known most ia
vorably both nationally and Internal
ionally
In becoming governor OF Vermont
he smashed political machine that
had been many years in control OF
Vermont politics.
His administration has been the
most progressive in the states his
tory.
Governor Mead has been the archi-
tect OF his own fortunes. Orphaned
at an early age and without property
inheritance, his course was for long
struggle with adversely. But by
force Of will, industry and frugality,
he secured a college education mid
dlebury, class of 1864 and later fit
ted for the medical profession. He
practiced as successful physician
until he undertook the work OF build
ing up the Howe Scale company from
bankruptcy situation in 1888 to its
present world wide Importance.
Governor Mead, in the midst of his
college course went to the front in
the Civil war as a common soldier
and probably in him there is now the
last chance that will be had for rec
ognizing a member OF the Grand army
OF the republic in connection with
national office
Governor Mead is a true represen
tative of the Vermont Spirit" that
has been so great a factor in national
development Native Vermonters
who have emigrated, and men Of
Vermont stock, in many states are
examplars of this same spirit.
In Governor Mead's candidacy there
is splendid opportunity for honorinl
the Vermont Spirit" wherever 1t hal
been carried. Governor Mead's repul
licanism is staunch and progressive
His nomination to the vice preslden
cy would meet the approval OF the
entire business interests OF the coun
try. II would be fitting recognition
OF the East OF New England ant
Vermont.
The governor is especially deserv
ing of the support of the colored del
egates.
