COPPER DIVIDEND

New York, June 18-At the meeting
of the board of directors of the Brit
ish Columbia Copper Company today
that body will pass on the recommen-
dation of the executive committee
that dividends be resumed at the rate
of 3 per cent. quarterly. President
Norman Erb, in his report, shows
that the company in the first six
months of the fiscal year accumulated
in cash and metal total equal to
more than ~ per cent. a year on its
capital stock. With the present price
of copper the net earnings, it is de-
clared, should exceed 25 per cent. a
year.

gates to vote on their own cases."
Senator Kenyon of Iowa, was routed
out of bed after midnight and called
into the Roosevelt conference. The
latest proposal was submitted. He
expressed the view that it was fair
one, that the ten Cummins delegates
from Iowa would support the PROPOSE
ton and that in his opinion the SO La
Toilette delegates from Wisconsin and
North Dakota, would also. He said
he believed it would be good idea to
hold up the convention proceedings
for a while to give the people chance
for a sober second thought on the
subject"
All this time the Wisconsin delega-
tion was in conference. At 130 a. m.
they were still in session and it was
suspected they had the Roosevelt
proposition under consideration.
The Wisconsin delegation adjourned
soon after 80 without action and
probably will meet again this morning.
Taft supporters did not hear of the
action of the Roosevelt delegates un-
til some time after and no plan had
been made to combat the new line Of
attack. 1t was believed, however,
they would urge Chairman Rosewater
to not entertain the resolution.

Chicago, June 18.-The Roosevelt
delegates in caucus early this morning
voted that it was the sense of the
meeting that nothing less than $40 OF
the uncontested delegates could be re.
garded as a binding majority of the
Republican convention.
This was construed by the delegates
present as meaning, as one of them
put it, "a bolt at the go-off."
The meeting adopted the text of a
long telegram to President Taft, ap-
pealing to him to disfavor the action OF
the national committee in its defeat
of the Roosevelt contests. The tele-
gram was held up after being given out
in order to get the approval of Senator
Dixon.
A resolution was adopted at the sug-
gestion of the Illinois delegation, read
ing as follows:
Resolved, that no election of tenn
porary or other officers of this con-
vention or other proceedings shall be
taken as the act of this convention or
have any effect unless it shall receive
on a roll call the affirmative votes of
$40 delegates whose seats are uncon.
tested and this resolution shall govern
and be in force during the temporary
organization of this convention and un.
til the permanent organization thereof
shall be effected"
The telegram to President Taft
urges him to use his influence against
the announced intention of Victor
Rosewater, chairman of the national
committee, to allow the contested dele.

Chicago, June 1S.-After Chaplain
Callaghans prayer developments came
like shots from a rapid-fire gun. Had
ley, of Missouri, the Roosevelt floor
leader, rose to a question of informa
tion. He took the platform amid great
cheering.
Watson, of Indiana, the Taft floor
leader, followed Hadley to the plat.
form. Barnes, of New York, rose to
point of order.
In loud voice Hadley asked If a
temporary roll had been prepared.
Watson raised the point that no bust
ness was in order until the convention
was organized. Loud cheering greet
ed Watson's remarks.
Chairman Rosewater gave each
side twenty minutes to de-
bate the Hadley motion Had
ley's motion is intended to take from
the temporary roll Taft delegates and
substitute Roosevelt delegates in GER
tain contested states.
Hadley cited as precedent
the convention of 1864, which
for the second time nominated
Abraham Lincoln. Senator Hoar,
chairman of that convention ruled that
a motion to amend the temporary roll
was in order, but declared Hadley,
@'this is question of principle rather
than precedent" 1--WE cannot close
our eyes to what the American people
are saying today" he shouted.
The convention broke into cheers as
Hadley declared "any candidate named
unfairly will have a tainted candi-
dacy." Hadley bristled with indigna-
tion as he exclaimed, IF it is in the
power of twenty-seven members of the
committee to say who shall sit in this
convention, arbitrarily and without ap-
peal, then we have reached the end Of
representative government" Hadley
closed amid prolonged cheers.
Watson then answered Hadley. His
argument was parliamentary appeal
followed by Serene Payne, Taft man,
who declared the question was be
tween orderly procedure on one hand
and chaos possibly on the other"
