Strikes Popular Chord


 Later on in his address Fort seemed to strike a popular chord. His arguments were met by Watson, the Taft floor Representative Payne of New York. a Taft man who declared that the question was:
 How about the scope of temporary or ganization on the one hand, and possibil- ity of chaos on the other" How about the Payne tariff?' shouted voice of one of the gallery spectators This was taken up with keep on talking. |"
 Mir. Payne attempted to show the crowd could not possibly proceed to take any active part on the floor. Watson then took the floor. He contended that no business lis in order because there is nc convention until it is organized" His argument was parliamentary. He asked the Taft supporters not to cheer but to listen. T am addressing your in- telleets. not your passions" he shouted to make himself heard. He then began defense of the national committee. de- claring:
 Some one must make up the temporary roll of the convention
 When Watson finished Chairman Rose water ruled out of order Hadlev's mo- tion to amend the temporary roll. The Taft men had won first blood There was confusion. Chairman Rosewater's s voice was scarcely audible 50 feet distant Rosewater's Ruling Ruling On the point of order against Hadley's motion Rosewater said:

with a storm of cheers which was follow ed by a wave of hisses as he declared "California will cast 26 votes for Theodore Roosevelt"
 The gentleman who preceded me said this convention took no chances with Sen ator Root. he said. "and I say the con vention and rank and file of the people take no chances with Governor McGov- ern"
 Negro Causes Confusion
 Johnson was cheered afresh as he climbed down. Confusion resulted from the effort of J. Edmund Wood, a negro delegate from Kentucky, to second the nomination Of Senator Root. Wood said:
 "The statement has been made that the negro will repudiate his instructions. New ertheless the negro will obey the wishes of his constituency, and vsse as instruct ed''
 William Finn, Roosevelt leader from Pennsylvania, was next to be heard. Il am instructed he said, by 64 votes out of 76 in the state of Pennsylvania to sec ond the nomination of Governor McGov- ern."
 "Gentlemen, the Pennsylvania delega- tion Is the result of new political meth od.'' he concluded.
 This was greeted with laughter and jeers, Payne and Barnes of New York and former Vice Presldent talrbankS leading the prolonged guffaw.
 Finn turned to Barnes and Payne and smiled.
 My friends from New York have not experienced this new method he shouted.
 These methods are the rule of the district primaries, he added These methods have presented this delegation from Pennsylvania to the convention
 Give him leave to print, shouted a delegate.
 Finn went on:
 ''Pennsylvania is here as a progressive state. he is here to stay And when we get through, no matter who may be nominated no matter what the results of the elections may be. Pennsylvania will be a progressive state

Hall in an Uproar

Heney was halted second time The hall was soon in an uproar Heney stood red faced and perspiring at the front of the stage His reference to A. N. Stevenson of Colorado, who held d proxy in the committee, threw the friends of that gentleman into a rage Heney stood several minutes facing the disorders with articles of clothes dis arranged. A score or more of national delegates, who prepared the temporary roll, came from democratic states which which will not give single electoral vote to a republican nominee in No vember.
 "Tell us something more about Big Steve" said the mayor of Evansville, Ind, during the next Interruption.
 ''Ill refer you, MT. Heilman, to Mur- ray Crane" said Heney. Then he turned to Chairman Rosewater and asked for order.
 I'm doing the best can,' said Rose water, believing for serenity.
 Are the friends of Mir. Taft afraid to listen to the statements?" asked Heney in lull of the tumult. and wish to cease the arraignment?"
 No we are listening" called out the Indiana delegation.
 You've got all the advertisement there Is in it." shouted Delegate Jerry Wooden of Indiana, and why don't you lie down?"

Bradley Pleads for Time

Wait q minute" he pleaded, but his voice was lost in flood of sound. Final ly the noise subsided little, and Brad- ley, facing the part of the hall from which the question came, shoyted "Yes. I voted for Lorimer, and wlren l did 1 voted for a man 1000 times better than you" The turmoil again broke loose
 Tho hall was thrown into an uproar as Senator Bradley shouted; The state of Kentucky will never sink so low as to take moral advice from Francis J. Heney."
 You voted for Lorimer," shouted c California delegate.
 ''If q man could get under cuticle," sald Bradley, he would find q meaner man than Iorimer" Bradley said the south gave no republican electoral votes be- cause the party had cowardly deserted her and left her to her fate.'
 Cries of "Lorimer' again greeted him
 My answer to you is liar. liar, shout ed Bradley.
 He declared that by cooking up contests and trying to make fictitious contests before the convention. the Roosevelt forces were threatening the structure of the republican party.
 Disorder broke out again.
 '.Mr. Chairman. with your permission" rcs,,,a.d Bradley. 'I will suspend long enough to allow each fool to ask all the questions te wants to-
 Hoofs and hishes was the response.

Heney Is Determined

You might as well hear me out on this matter" said Heney, for if it takes all summer you've got to hear"
 Heney resumed and still interrupted by jeers said:
 Before voting 1t is proposed that a majority shall be secured for MT. Root by using the roll framed by the na- tional committee and by using the 6S fraudulent votes placed fin this con yentlon by that committee. Remember, after the election of a temporary chair man, those 6S votes will be represented on the report of the credentials com mittee"
 Uproar broke out afresh. Iu the midst of 1t Sergeant at Arms Stone said:
 "The chairman wishes me to an- nounce that unless the speaker Is treat with disrespect will be removed from the building with force"
 That's bad" said Heney, indicat- ing the discipllnarian movement, add ing:
 "Certain names are on the roll desig- mated by the leadership of Penrose and Big Steve and will give control of the credentials committee to men who have perpetrated this theft of delegates" storm of misses again swept over the hall broken in an instant by plaudits from Roosevelt delegates. Senator Bradley of Kentucky followed soon after IIeney. He seconded the nom- nation of Root, declaring he was re- garded as "the most distinguished man in the Senate"
 "A more outrageous lot of contests were never seen than those presented to the national committee, he said A shout from the floor: "Did you voto for Lorimer?"

Fort Assists Hadley

Governor Fort, uphoiding Hadley, de- clared the convention is making a prece- dent for all time. whether the conven- ton controls its own personnel or not. Shall this convention sustain the na- tonal committee Fort shouted.
 Continued cries of no greeted him.
 It was one of the first indications of the meetings temper.
 Let us determine l, now before it .s too late," said Governor Fort. Amid cheers he stopped.
 The action of Hadley and Fort indicated that the plan of Roosevelt leaders an- nounced two days ago was being carried out apparently without regard to the ac- tion of the Roosevelt delegates last night who voted to put in resolution requir- Ing that the $40 uncontested affirmative votes to carry any proposition be manda- tory
 ss Governor Fort had not gone far be- fore the crowd began to laugh and in- terrupt him with cries of ''st down." Fort made the error of answering the galleries which clearly held high preponderance of Taft sympathizers. The Roosevelt peo- pie claimed they were packed.

ton as he spoke. 'I assert" he said, that the question is whether the na- tional committee of the republican party has the absolute power 10 form a tenn porary roll for this convention which can only be changed by a. report from a com mittee of this convention, or whether this convention itself shall say who shall sit in it.''
 "1f it is in the power of 27 men to say arbitrarily who shall sit then we have reached the end of representative gov ernment in this country he concluded.

REPORT OF SECRETARY FOR
MAY SHOWS MANY PER.
SONS HELPED.

Fifty-nine families. three of which
were new. received assistance from
the Calumet Associated Charities dur
ing the month of May, according 10

made Lublic today. In one OF the
new ca ses, an appeal was made for

Permanent employment was found
for the head of one family and tenn

persons. The secretary paid fifty
three visits To homes during the
month. and relief of different kinds
was given in thirty-hve families. In

made for clothes only. in others for
fuel. In others for employment, es-
pecially among the young boys and
girls Just leaving school and who lack
the initiative themselves. as yet. and
there were also several appeals for
general aid.
II is interesting TO note that in fifty
per cent of the families asking aid
during the month. the mother is wild
owed. and in the majority of these
families. the income is partly earned
by the mother. Twenty per cent are
deserted mothers. who also aid in the
support OF the family by doing what
is usually termed day-work. They are
almost always restricted 10 this EN-
ployment because of the impractical
bility of leaving home for work OF a
more regular nature, which would re-
quire them TO be absent from the
home for a greater length OF time.
The remaining thirty per cent are
made up mostly of families In which
both parents are living. but the head
of the family is incnr lcitated by ply
sical disability, or his earning power
