CROOKS HAD NO CHANCE
TO PLY THEIR VOCATION
Chief of Police and Aids Graft
fled With Columbus Day
Results.

Maj. Richard Sylvester. superintendent
Of police. and Inspector Boardman, chief
of detectives, last night expressed them
selves as grattned that the Columbus day
ceremonies had been marred by no seri-
Gus disturbances and that no robberies
had been committed. reports received
early last night indicating that the light
fingered gentry had refrained from op-
Grating in any part OF the city.
It was not until tho residents Of the
outlying districts had had time to reach
their homes last night that the police felt
the relief that comes with q clean sheet
after q celebration.
IF any houses had been robbed" In
spector Boardman remarked, II guess we
would have known It by this time
Make No Discoveries.
In order to protect homes far distant
from the crowded business section. the
police officials had detectives scattered in
all directions yesterday and last night.
Some rode in horse-drawn vehicles and
others in automobiles. but not one Of them
saw any known crooks or suspicious per-
sons in the outlying sections.
The great majority of the officers were
kept in the business section. along the line
Of the parade and in the vicinity OF the
statue and Union station. Members OF
the regular headquarters force had sleuths
from other cities with them, and when
the fireworks were over they formed
tired lot Of men,
Inspector Boardman had his detectives
pay special attention to patrons Of the
street car lines last night as q guard
against pickpockets. and later additional
mon were sent to Union station to pro-
tect the outgoing throng. many OF the
BaNimoreahs. Philadelphians and per
sons from other eastern cities having
departed last night Uniformed police
men and plain clothes men were scattered
through the crowd at the fireworks to
protect the crowd from crooks ana TO
prevent brushes In the rush to get near
the set pieces.
Yesterdays record OF arrests was small
er than usual, and the hospitals did not
have much work. There was very little
drunkenness noticed early in the night,
persons they handled were residents of
the City.
"Held for Investigation"

rested them because he though it would
do no harm to have them out OF the
way while the visitors remained in the

statement of one Of the young men. and
his companions declared he had told the
detective the truth.
The Brooklyn man who was locked UP
said he had been about the country look

Of Legal Character.

The Georgia contests were OF distinct
ly legal character. Ormsby McHarg. the
Roosevelt attorney, contended that the
Taft conventions had been held at a time
and under a call that could not be legal
because the annual registration lists had
not been approved.
This contention was denied by the Taft
delegates. Their negro attorneys FUR
nished, however. but part of the argu-
ment in the cases. The Taft forces. led
by Henry L. Johnson. a negro attorney of
Atlanta, whose argument was frequently
applauded by the committee MEMBERS.
characterized the Roosevelt contests in
Georgia as after thoughts and de-
clared that there had been no question in
Georgia as to the Interpretation of the
state law until after the advent OF a
stranger from the NORTH who reached
the state about April Is.
After the Arkansas cases had been de-
cided Committeeman Lowden OF Illinois
fnsinuated laughingly that Gen. Powell
Clayton. the veteran leader Of Arkansas
delegation at large. had himself tnstigat-
ed the contests against his faction.
From Florida. in the cases of the dele
cation at large and of the first district.
came two contesting delegations. each re-
garded as pro-Roosevelt and each hostile
to the other as well as TO the Taft dele
gates

No Roll Call Needed.

The four Taft delegates at large were
seated without a roll call. Committee
man Martin OF Virginia moved that they
be recognized as regular. and the mo-
ton carried with two or three negative
votes.
Frank D. Kellogg of Minnesota made a
motion then to adjourn because the COM
mittee had been in continuous session Tor
seven hours. This was voted down and
the first Georgia district contest was
called.
Mr.. McHarg asked that the first ten dis
trict contests be consolidated. He said
he was willing to submit them on the
arguments that had been made In the case
Of the delegates at large. Mr.. DICK
agreeing to this, motion was made to
seat ali Of the Taft delegates. and with
out argument or any request for roll
call, the twenty Taft men representing III
congressional districts from the first 10
the tenth, were declared seated.
This decision left but two district con-
tests pending, the eleventh and twelfth.
and work on the eleventh was begun at
once. Mr.. Johnson, in this case also.

BRIDGE MATTER
BEFORE COURT
North Aberdeen Bridge East
ment Suit Is Being
Tried Today

Testimony in the condemnation
suit of the city Of Aberdeen against
Mr.. and Mrs. William Irvine. is
being heart in the superior court at
Montesano today. The suit is the
outcome of the refusal Of the city
council to effect a settlement with
Irvine. after 1t had built the North
Aberdeen bridge, before securing an
easement to property over which the
structure swings.
For several months Irvine sought
to effect a settlement with the city,
asking $4,000 for the property. Coun-
Gilman McCaw recommended that an
arbitration board be selected to take
the matter up with the owners, but
the council turned down the report.
Mrs. Irvine went before the coun-
ell several days before the bridge was
ready to be swung and notified them
that a settlement must be reached or
she would protect her rights in the
courts. The council brought the con-
demnation proceedings. and later At
torney A. E. Graham recommended
that the matter be settled out of the
courts.
The council then took action to
have the matter arbitrated, but it
was too late, and as result. it will
go to jury to decide the damages
done.
