Convention Hall, Chicago, June
22-With the party admittedly facing
the greatest crisis in its history, VIM.
H. Taft of Ohio, at 9:25 o'clock to
night, was renominated for president
Of the United States by the Republi-
can national convention.
The revolt Of many of the Roosevelt
delegates in the convention was open
from the moment the permanent roll
containing the names of contested dele.
gates was approved. A "valedictory'
statement was read in behalf Of Col.
Roosevelt asking that his name be not
presented and that his delegates sit in
mute protest against all further pro-
ceedings. .,.
Declined to Follow
A great majority of the Roosevelt
delegates in the Illinois and all in t
Missouri and Idaho delegations de-
clined to follow this advice, but Col.
Roosevelt's sway over delegations from
California, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota,
Nebrask, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
South Dakota and West Virginia was
all but absolute.
Most of the delegates from these
states announced their purpose Of help
ing give Mr.. Roosevelt an independent
nopination at another hall later in the
sssssltsnsy.
The split in the convention occa-
stoned no surprise. 1t was but full
filment of predictions that had been
made during the past several days.
Many Demonstrations
The closing scenes of the convention
were marked by counter demonstrations
for President Taft and Colonel Roose-
welt.
The first test vote after the an.
nouncement of the Roosevelt valedic-
tory came on the adoption of the party
platform. The affirmative vote was
666. Roosevelt delegates present and

GREAT TOLL PAID
FOR TRfSPASS|NG
On the Pennsylvania System
Alone Over $500 Killed
in IL Years.

Trespassing on the Pennsylvania
railroad systems property in violation
OF the law has caused the deaths of
$3.50 people since January first. 1900.
In the same time s.285 people have
been injured as q result of trespassing
These facts are brought out in a re-
port issued today by the Pennsylvania.
Following the year 1907. when $40
people were killed while trespassing
on Pennsylvania railroad property. the
management of that company inaugu-
rated campaign to educate the pub
lie to the dangers Of trespassing. The
cooperation of the city and county au-
thorities was invited. and wide publici-
ty was given to the efforts the COM
pany was making to put an end to this
evil which was annually costing so
many people their lives. As a result of
the efforts of its officers and employees
the number of trespassers killed on
the Pennsylvania railroad in 1908 was
742, reduction of 173. or more than
IS per cent. The railroads activities
in this direction were redoubled in
1909 and again was the death roll
from trespassing reduced to 633, or
about Is per cent. Even more vigorous
have the Pennsylvania efforts been
in the past two years. with the result
that in 1910 the number of killed was
reduced to 5S5 and in 1911 to SGT, de-
crease of ~ per cent since 1907.
In waging war on trespassing. the
Pennsylvania management has posted
its right of way with signs warning
people against using railroad tracks as
thoroughfares. Division officers have
co-operated with their local newspa-
pers in giving publicity to the awful
results of trespassing. The general
managers of the different lines of the
system have been unceasing in calling
to the attention of their staff officers
the necessity of keeping before the
public the fact that thousands of peo-
pie trespassing on railroad property in
violation of the law are killed every
year, or are manned for life.
Having succeeded in decreasing the
practice of trespassing on it's lines, the
Pennsylvania system is now preparing
to conduct an even more aggressive
campaign during 1912. Tracks will be
re-posted with warning notices, the en-
actment of stringent laws will be re-
quested and every officer and employe

Catehins the Speakers Eye.

The practice of catching the speak
er's eye" dates back to the session Of
1910. when a heated dispute arose be-
tween members of the house. several
Of whom claimed precedence of speech
1t was then decided that whoever first
caught the speakers eye should have
the right to address the house. This
rule worked smoothly until 1855. when
Sir John Trevor was elected to the
chair. The new speaker was afflicted
with an abominable squint; consequent
" two members would often catch his
eye simultaneously and decline to give
way to one another. To obviate this a
further rule was framed to the effect
that the speaker should call by name
upon the member privileged to address
the house. So every holder OF the Of

SEEKING TO AVERT
SOFT COAL STRIKE
Conference of Operators and
Union Leaders Is Being
Held at Cleveland.
National News Association

(NatfOnal news ASSoClatiOn)
CLEVELAND, O.. March 20-Wheth-
er there is to be general strike of
miners in the bituminous fields on
April l depends upon the success or
failure of the joint conference of the
operators and United Mine Workers,
which met at the Hollenden Hotel in
this city today to resume negotiations
looking to a new agreement to go into
effect when the present agreement ex-
pires on the last day of this month.
Both sides admit that the prospects
for an amicable settlement of the ex-
listing differences are not very bright.
The miners declare their intention to
stand firm in their demand for a sew
en-hour day, FIVE hours on Saturday.
with full pay, and an average advance
OF 100 per cent. on the wage scale.
The mine owners assert that the de-
mands of the miners are impossible.
The parties to the present confer
ence represent the operators and min
ers in the soft coal fields of western
Pennsylvania, Ohio. Indiana and Illi-
nois. But any agreement reached un-
doubtedly would be used as the basis
for similar agreements in Missouri,
Kansac, Arkansas and Oklahoma, COM
posing the Southwestern Territory.
and Michigan, West Virginia, Ken
lucky and Iowa.
The prospect of a strike in the soft
coal field, while serious enough in it's
consequences, is not regarded with the
same alarm in industrial circles as is
the possibility of a similar tie-up of
the anthracite mines. The principal
reason for this is that the soft coal
supply is not limited to a small terri
tory as in the case of the supply of
anthracite. A dozen States, more or
less, produce soft coal in considerable
quantities, and to maintain a strike in
all of them at once would be a stupen-
dous undertaking. Then, too, several
of the fields, particularly that of West
Virginia, are not strongly unionized.
The railroads and other industries de-
pendent upon the bituminous supply
always figure that enough soft coal
can be produced somehow to supply
their needs They remember that there
were strikes in the soft coal regions
of several states last year at the same
time, but no serious shortage of fuel
resulted. The possibility of general
strikes being declared simultaneously
in the anthracite and bituminous fields
threatening feature Of the situation.
