IA coded.

Chicago, June 19.-The Roosevelt
delegates in caucus voted that it was
the sense of the meeting that nothing
less than $40 Of the uncontested dele
gates could be regarded as a binding
majority Of the Republican national
convention.
This was constructed By the dele
gates present as meaning, as one OF
them puts 1t, "a bolt at the go-off."
The meeting adopted the text Of
a long telegram to President Taft
appealing to him to disavow the ac-
ton Of the national committee in it's
defeat Of the Roosevelt contest. The
telegram was held up after given out
in order to get the approval of Sena-
tor Dixon.
Note Votes ENOUGH to Control.
The delegates were frankly told by
the leaders, it is said. that they did
not have enough votes to control the.
convention, as constituted by the ma.
tional committee, which seated so
many of the contested delegates.
1t was then that the Roosevelt del
egates decided on this drastic action.
The midnight conference completely
changed the situation from what it
had been earlier in the evening. Col
Roosevelt's speech at the Auditorium
theater urging his followers to fight
from the jump" and the uproarious
approval given his fighting words out
weighed the counsel Of the more
moderate members Of the Roosevelt
faction.
Senator Kenyon was routed out OF
bed after midnight and called into
the Roosevelt conference The latest
proposal was submitted to him. He
expressed the view that it was fair
one, that the 10 Cummins delegates
from Iowa would support the proposi.
ton and that in his opinion the So
La Toilette delegates from Wiscon4
sin and North Dakota would also. He
said he, believed 1t would be good
idea to hold up the convention pro,
ceedings for while to give the peo-
pie chance for a sober second
thought" on the subject.
All this time the Wisconsin delega,
ton was in caucus. It was surmised
that they had the Roosevelt PROPOSE
ton under consideration.
The Taft headquarters did not hear
of the action of the Roosevelt deleT
gates until some time after and no
plan had been made to combat the
new line of attack. 1t was believed
however, that they would urge Chair
man Rosewater not to entertain the,
resolution on the parliamentary
ground that he had no other duty to-
perform as chairman Of the national
committee than to call the conven-
ton to order and present the choice.
of the national committee for tenn
porary chairman.

Washington, D. G. - So strongly
is President Taft said to believe in
the need Of the commerce court that
his friends predicted that he would
veto the legislative, executive and ia.
dicial appropriation bill which pro.
vides for the abolition Of the court
The bill also provides for the salaries
Of the president, all the federal Judges
and court officials, members Of con-
gress and their mileage, members Of
the presidents cabinet and employees
Of the great government departments.
The veto will be unusual, although
government officials did not believe
that it would mean anything more
than second consideration Of the bill
and possibly the passage Of . separ.
ate bill abolishing the court.
The legislative, executive and Judi.
cial appropriation bill must be passed
before congress finally adjourns and
unless the two thirds majority neces-
sary to put it through each house Of
congress over the presidents veto can
be secured it probably would be sent
again to the White House without the
provision Objectionable to Mr.. Taft.
Although some of the legal advisers
Of the president were inclined to the
view that the president could veto the
amendment passed by the senate re-
pealing the act creating the court with.

Worcester, Mass, April 26.-Merciless
denunciation OF President Taft was Col
onel Roosevelt's reply to the President s

Colonel Roosevelt's assertions were:
That President Taft had not given
the people of the country ga square
deal )" but that owing to equality of
feebleness" he had "yielded to the bos-
ses and the great privileged interests. "
That one part of the Presidents attack
upon him vas 'the crookedest kind of a
deal, )" and deliberate misrepresenta-
tion.'
That the President "has not merely
in thought, word and deed been dis
loyal to our past friendship, but has
been disloyal to evey canon of ordinary
dscency and fair dealing such as should
obtain even in dealing with a man"
bitterest opponets."
That the Presidents statement re-
garding the influence of federal office
holders in the campaign was mot only
an untruth, but it is an absolute un-
truth"
That Mr.. Taft convicted himself of
insincerity when he signed the Payne
Allr:oh ~; ~ l,tfl
That in speaking of Colonel Roose-
velt's position in regard to the trust
problem, President Taft is "himself
guilty of crooked deal.o
Colonel Roosevelt took up President
Taft's attack on him point by point,
fiaying the President in one scathing
sentence after another.

Mrs. Wollendorf dressed Bertha in

The mother then fastened to the
kitchen to watch the cake that was
baking. Bertha was so excited over
her gift she had to follow her mother
to the kitchen, wheeling the carriage,
in which was the doll. Near the
range the carriage was overturned,
and while STOPPING to right it Bertha's
pretty dress caught fire.
In a second the fiimsy garment was
ablaze. With cry Of terror the
mother drew Bertha close to her in
an effort to smother the flames. The
womans clothes were ignited, but de-
spite this she beat out the fire in her

herself. Bertha, shockingly burned,
was taken to the hospital, where the
doctors said she would likely die.
