In all Colonel Roosevelt slept more
than six and half hours, which he
declared upon waking was more than
he had been accustomed to In all his
life. The colonel felt fine. He not
only said so himself but he showed 1t

His eyes were bright and his manner
was animated. He joked and laughed
with his nurse during the process OF
taking his clinical record.
During the entire night quiet
reigned near the colonel's quarters.
No anxiety was felt for the morrow
DR.. Scurry L. Terrell, who travels
with the colonel, retired to his room
at 10 o'clock and did not visit his pa
tient once after that. Not once did
Mrs. Roosevelt awaken to find how
hsr husband was faring. She also
was satisfied that all was we'll.
Shortly after the colonel awoke he
Was given his morning sponge bath
and alcohol rub and was told that his
breakfast was being prepared for him.
He said he was ravenously hungry
and was almost positive the fare al.
lowed would prove to be not half
enough. He declared steak and 3
couple of chops would be nearer the
mark.

ApaIysis Of SltustIor-

Chicago, June I3.-An analysis Of the
situation today, four days before the
first session Of the Republican national
convention, can be simply and directly
portrayed. The national committee
will finish It's consideration of the con
tests late Saturday night. There is no
reason to believe that the verdict
which has been given In 90 per cent of
the contests, IN which the Roosevelt
national committeeman have Joined.
Will be different when all Of the con
tests have been decided. BY Saturday
night. therefore, President Taft under
these circumstances will have $40 dele
gates or thirty six more than Will be
a required for his denomination.
( The Roosevelt managers, with VIII
liam Finn of Pittsburgh as the chief
executive, began the efforts to Offset
the foregoing facts which confronted
them most emphadcally. Mr.. Films
telegram to lunches of Roosevelt dele
gates, instructing them to be on the
! battlefield, met with enthusiastic re
sponse. These punches of Roosevelt
delegates come from many states.
| They came ahead of their fellows for
the purpose of cooperating with Mfr,
Finn and Senator Dixon In their eff
forts to impress upon Taft delegates
the chief argument advanced by
Colonel Rooseyelt's campaigners-that
President Taft's denomination would
not only bring defeat to Taft, but
would result In defeat for all RepubH-
can state tickets and would also bring
defeat to candidates for all local offices
and would leave the house of repre-
sentatives In the hands OF Democrats
by another overwhelming majority.
These arguments are to be used from
this time in the effort to divert from
President Taft enough delegates TO de-
feat his denomination and to accom-
plish the nomination Of ex-President
Roosevelt

STRIKERS AT TEMP TITO
burn IFENCE;;[
w. BACkbWITti ! BULLETS

Rioting was renewed at the
American Smelling and Rein
ing works after dark tonight.
A mob Of about ten thousand
people is assembled before the
gate of the plant. About $50
o'clock the small shanty used
as a waiting room for the men
along the trolley line was set
on fire. This inspired others
and several attempts were I'M
mediately made to set fire to
the high board fence which
surrounds the plant. ,,.v
As soon as those inside the
plant saw this a powerful
searchlight was brought into
play and expert rihemen be
gan to fire into the mob about
the blazing shanty and forcing
the gang away from the fence.
In the meantime an alarm OF
fire was sounded from box 5o
at the United Lead works, ad-
joining the smelter. The fire
men responded quickly but up
on their arrival at the scene
we're stoned by the strikers.
Two fremen, John Danner and
Charles Mckenzie, were
struck but not seriously hurt.
By this time the fire at the
fence was eXtinguished and
the shanty was doomed. Back
taps were sounded and the
liremen returned home.
After the fremen left the
firing on the strikers started in
earnest. The mob fell back
under this fire. SO far as
known, no one was hit. Sew
eral bullets entered nearby
houses. The searchlight was
trained directly on the shanty
and no one dared approach it
for fear Of being shot. The
strikers, together with thou
sands of spectators, stood at a
safe distance looking on.
Talks With Governor.
Between 8 and 8:15 O'Clock
Sheriff BollschweiIer called
Governor Wilson on the tele-
phone and had a long conver-
sation with him. The outcome
was that an official Of the Ma
tional Guard will be sent here
at once to look over the situa
ton and if he deems it neces-
sary the troops will be sent
to take charge of the situation
Return the Fire.
For the first ime during the
trouble the strikers returned
the fire tonight shooting back
into the plant aiming at the
searchlight. The crowd has
fallen back and the street
within a half mile of the fac
tory is clear. The men got OF
the track and held up a freight
train on the Central railroad
but no damage was done.
Mutterings are heard about

At 9:15 matters were quiet
again.
When Sheriff Bollschweile1

Automobile and hurried to the
scene at 9:30 o'clock.
