The Hadley Resolution to Dispossess the Seated Taft Delegates Was De- feated by the Decisive Vote of 564 to 510
A CERTAIN FORECAST
 OF THE LAST RESULT
The Colonel Would Bolt, It Is Certain That Many of His Leaders Will Not Gut Themselves Loose From the Republican Party

CHICAGO. June 19.-The Roosevelt forces met a second defeat in the re- publican national convention today in session interrupted by a remarkable demonstration of nearly an hours dur ation in honor of Gov. H. s. Hadley of Missouri. All the Roosevelt delegates and some of the Taft states lent voice to the outbreak.
 The ovation to the Missouri executive was quickly interpreted by many as the forerunner of a boom for Hadley for president One enthusiastic Pennsyl- vanian jumped to the platform and shouted three cheers for Hadley, the next president of the United States"
 Hadley led the fight on the cOnven- ton floor today to seat 92 Roosevelt delegates in place of the same number for Taft, that he claimed were illegally seated The convention after hours of uproar and confusion refused to enter tain the motion by 564 to 510.
 This transferred the fight to the com mittee on credentials which was ap pointed just before the convention ad- journed until two o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
 On overruling Hadley's point order that soma of the 92 Roosevelt delegates had a vCte, Chairman Root said mo man can be permitted to vote on the question of his own right to seat when 1t i3 questioned but this does not disquaIify any delegate on the roll of the convention from voting on another mans right to seat or from participat- ing in any other regular business of the cOnve entiOn.
 Otherwise any minority could secure control of deliberative body by grouping a sufficient number of their opponents in on a motion, to give the minority control of the uncontested delegates If this convention should uphold such a proposition there would be no delegates to do business" The defeated Roosevelt forces made no fur ther move. Root then put motion by j. F. Watson, a Taft leader, that the standing committees be appointed and il was adopted without opposition. Ali ter the committees were announced, and the meetings each were scheduled for eight o'clock tonight, tn convention at 5:15 adjourned until tomorrow noon.

ELECTRICAL EXHIBIT
 IN SUPERIOR COURT
k Was Proved That What the De fense Said, Could be
 Done

Judge Kent is an accomplished law yer and a most scholarly gentleman. If one did not otherwise know it, the fact that Judge Kent was graduated from Harvard university would be guaranty of his scholarship But al the time Judge Kent was passing through Harvard not so much atten- tiOn was given to electrical science as has come to be devoted to it. All this is predatory to the mention of a little thing that happened in the superior court room yesterday after noon in the trial of the damage suit 1 of J. NJ Hutchinson against the Pa cific Gas and Electric company for
 the destruction of personal property at the time a house in which he re- sided was burned last December. It was the contention of the plaintiff that the electric light company was irresponsible for the fire because of defective wiring.
 | Against this contention of the plain 1 tiff is that of the defendant that no one can know what caused the fire; l it might not have resulted from the wires at all and then if it should have done so. that would not neces- sarilY be a showing that the wires were defective.
 To illustrate this view of the mat ter the defendant company had caus- | ed pole to be erected outside the court room and two wires such as are used in houses were brought into the court room and into the roof of la miniature house which had been erected on an improvised table. These wires outside the window
 carried about 23OO volts but that force was reduced by transformer. so that those which entered the miniature house were not so heavily charged i Judge Kent Of counsel for the de- ] fense was showing the jury how the 1 contact of the wires with each other, and which might be effected by the wind or by some agency for which the company could not be held re- | spOnsible, might start a conflagration Judge Kent had made this demon StratiOn couple of times and pro lceeded to make it again when some | thing happened that might have re- suited in a conglagratiOn if there had been anything readily inf1ammable
 about The judge was seen to be try ing To get loose from the wires. He pulled the table the foundation of
 the miniature house. over and just
 then some one readjusted the spark plug and the judge was released. It
 was estimated by experts who were l sitting around that in the brief in terval of contact. Judge Kent con-
 sumed about two kilowats of juice"
 for which the company will probably
 present no bill

A WORK ON PLATFORM

CHICAGO, June 20.-The sub-com- mittee on resolutions having had con- sideration of the platform of the re- publican convention adjourned at 1:15 this morning when word was brought that the Roosevelt forces were likely to quit the convention today. It was decided that nothing definite could be accomplished until the fight over the permanent organization of the convention was settled and the inten- tiOn of the Roosevelt people was made clear.
 A Taft majority of about B to 21 in full committee had gone to work with every prospect of an all-night session. The evening was spent in hearing various interests.

ORDER FOR A BOLT
It Remains to be Seen Whether It
 Will Be Obeyed

CHICAGO, June 19.-Said Roosevelt tonight: "So far as I am concerned I am through. I hope tomorrow when you go back to the convention" ad- dressing the credentials committee who bolted the meeting, you will at once introduce a resolution that not one of those fraudulently seated dele gates shall vote on any question in the credentials committee or the con vention. Don't lie down again if they beat you by fraudulent votes. l hope you will take the position that you will decline to submit to having any delegates fraudulently seated, allowed to sit as judges in their own cases or vote on the report Of the ere dentialS committee. I hope you re- fuse any longer to recognize maJor- lty thus composed as having any title in law or morals to be called a re-
 publican convention.
 If you are voted down, I hope you, the real lawful majority of the con
 vention, will organize as such and you will do it if you have the courage
 and loyalty of your convictions. Let's find out whether the republican party is still a party of the plain people or a party of bosses and professional pol iticians acting in the interests of special privilege. If you want my advice I would advise you to place no further trust and that you do not permit yourself to be committed any further in any way, shape or form by | further association with these men, | so long as they remain in control of | the convention it means that the ma- | jority will be controlled in the essen | tial part by fraudulently seated dele gates who have not the slightest right
 or title to represent the rank and file

TAFT MEN JUBILANT
They Declare That it is All Over but
 the Shouting

CHICAGO, June 19.-At the Taft headquarters general atmosphere oe satisfaction and relief greeted the swarms of delegates tonight. Director Mckinley and staff presented an it's all-Over-but-t the shouting attitude and confidently asserted that today's vote of 564 to 510 against the Roosevelt forces showed conclusively that Taft w0uid be nominated. They claimed that Roosevelt would lose on the nomination roll call forty-six of the 5l0 votes he had today. They de- cLared that WiscOnsin's tWenty-slX votes, South Dakota's ten and the ten Cummins votes in Iowa would desert the Roosevelt column on any decisive vote. From this it is argued that the real Roosevelt strength in the con ventiOn at the most was 464 votes.
 Tafts nomination is a certainty, said Mckinley Each succeeding roll call from now on will show steady losses from the Roosevelt column and gains for Taft.
 The southern colOred delegates in structed for Taft are carrying out their instructions with courage and fidelity notwithstanding the tempta- tiOns offered them in the way of mon- ey, patronage and political prefer ment.
 Roosevelt not only lost votes today but his delegates indulged in forty minutes continuous cheering for Gov crnOr Hadley, thus showing a decided tendency to desert the Roosevelt stan dard ROosevelt'5 reported threat of a bolt has not mlterialized."
 The Taft leaders while outwardly ridIculing talk of Roosevelt bolt privately admitted that the colonel undoubtedly will order his followers oa: of the convention.
 The Taft people are exultant to- night. They denied the intimations from the Roosevelt side that they were considering a compromise can didate. They said that with the tightening of the lines it was appar- ent that Taft would win on the first ballot with something to spare. Dix on said tonight that one final appea might be made to the membership oi the convention. We shall have ther exhausted every legal and moral duty devoIving upon us. The future vii have to take care of itself"
 Barnes, of New York, said: " The vote today is simply an indication ot the vanishing strength of Roosevelt

Why The President Pardoned Man

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1
 WASHINGTON, June 19.-President Taft pardoned Franklin P. Mays today on the ground that the government prosecutors pursued improper methods in his conviction for land frauds in Oregon in 1907. This is the second pardon granted by the president in the famous Mitchell Hermann land cases.
 Willard Jones was pardoned a few days ago. The president year ago declined to pardon Mays. His change of attitude is due to an investigation of the charges that the government agents procured advance lists of names of men likely to be placed in the jury box and investigated each man to learn if he would convict
