strongly is President Taft said to be-

court that his friends tonight pre-
dicted that he would veto the legis-

The bill also provides for the sal

judges, court officials, members Of
congress, and of the presidents cab
met and the employees of the great

The veto would be unusual al

{ f-ASoOSidbCd ACSS-
Chicago, H., June 12-The ap-
parent irreconcilability of the diff
ferences between the Taft and
Roosevelt leaders of the republican
convention was borne on the rising
tide of charges of bribery, theft and
other accusations tonight, and
threatened to precipitate decisive de-
velopments before the opening of the
national convention next week
Charges Of corruption were made
in the statement of Director McKin-
ley Of the Taft bureau tonight. IT
directly accuses Roosevelt of an eff
fort to attempt TO capture the con-
vention by force
Promipent men on both sides adj
nit that the situation is so acute
that almost anything might happen
within the next few days.
One Of the possibilities discussed
was bolt by the Roosevelt forces
and the organization of a "progres-
sive" party if Taft should be nomi-
mated "A second possibility was that
of a compromise on a third candi-
date.
A number Of the leaders declare
it is now impossible to expect either
the Taft or the Roosevelt people 10
abide by the nomination of either
The Roosevelt men criticize the
national committee tonight with in
creasing bitterness.
With reference to McKinley's
charge of corruption, Senator Dixon
characterized it as "a plain cam
paign lie"
The Roosevelt leaders tonight an
nounced that their mass meeting
planned for Friday had been post
poned until Monday. There is much
speculation as to the reason for the
postponement but no explanation has
been made
The question Of whether Roosevelt
intends coming to Chicago came up
at every turn of discussions today.
Nc Kinley charges that effort to
corrupt Taft delegates had been un-
der way for several weeks. He al
leges that money was sent seven
weeks ago to two Taft delegates in
the South<rn states "by we'll
known Roosevelt leader now in
Chicago. ]"
He also alleges that two men were
sent from New York to the South,
and that they have ''brazenly APP
preached Taft delegates with offers
OF money in return for votes for
Roosevelt" THAT a we'll defined eff
fort is on foot to buy the nomination
of Roosevelt is beyond question" the
statement continues.
The Roosevelt committee made a
statement tonight denouncing the
national committee because of to-
days decisions.
Cummins and La Toilette are men
toned in connection with the third
candidate talk Also dark horse"
is discussed
The latter possibility includes a
dozen names but there IL no unanim-

COLORADO NEEDS REPAIRS.
Official Inquiry Ordered Into the
Collision With the Cleveland.

Inspection Of the United States ar

damaged in a collision with the Ham
burgAmerican liner Cleveland We'd
nesday at Honolulu, showed that while
she was not damaged seriously her
port propeller was injured to such an
extent that she would hardly be fit TO
participate in the maneuvers until il
was repaired. ANY attempt to carry
head of steam would result In dam
age TO the port engine.
Rear Admiral Thomas issued orders
directing an inquiry into the acct
dent. Ii is the general belief that
the sudden death of Pilot Milton P.
Sanders, who was in charge Of the
Cleveland and who dropped dead on
the liners bridge, is responsible for
the accident. The Cleveland was not
damaged
Though not yet officially Informed
of the ramming of the armored cruis-
err Colorado by the Hamburg American
steamship Cleveland at Honolulu, the
Navy Department is under the i'm
preston that the liner was wholly to
blame able for the accident.
If this view is borne out by the off,

. P0LITENESS In SCHOOLS.
Course in il is Advocated for the
Children.

The city of Cleveland has taken a
leaf from the academic notebook OF
Chicago and has elected n woman SUI
perintendent of schools. Miss Harriet
Keller, the new superintendent, is a
woman of high literary attainment and
for 50 years has been associated with
school work she must know something
about education. Miss Keller has a
hobby that she wishes to see tried out
in the schools, and it will interest the
people of the whole country-it is that
politenesss should be taught in every
grade.
Miss Keller is in favor of devoting a
short time in each grace to practical
illustration of politeness in every day
life. This idea is so natural and vet so
new that its very mention wins favor.
Some pupils may have home advantages
that make the teaching of politeness
unnecessary, but the great bulk of our
school children could profit by such a
course.
Examples of correct conduct on the
street., in travelling and in being
thoughtful and considerable of other
peoples feelings will be important aids
to character building. Boston Globe.

SLABS THE ALMANAC.
Annapolis Lawyer Suggests That the
Sun Get Busy and Correct Some
Omissions.

An Annapolis lawyer says that the
Baltimore Sun Almanac at page %
gives the terms of Court in all of the
judicial Circuits of Maryland, except
the seventh. consisting of Prince
George, Charles, st. Mary's and CAL
vertcounties.
He says further that he has three
cases pending in Prince Georges coun.
ty, and Que in Charles county, and
from the fact that the Sun has failed
to give the times when the terms of
Court are held in these counties, he
thinks that it should put it in every
paper daily in order to supplement
an omission in the Almanac. and he
further says, that it looks like the
Sun was setting down on the four
lower counties of Southern Maryland
