WILL IGNORE STATEMENT.
Majority of Republican National Com.
mittee Won't Reply to Roosevelt.

Chicago, June l0.-A majority of the
members of the Republican national COM
lmittee, after a lengthy conference yes
terday, uhofficially decided to refrain
from any comment upon the statement
issued Saturday night by Colonel Roose-
welt in which the former president de-
lnounced the action of the committee in
seating the two Taft delegates from the
ninth Alabama district.
Yesterdays impromptu meeting of the
national committee members was held
at downtown hotel and was attend
ed exclusively by those committeeman
who generally are accepted as being fa-
vorable to President Taft's candidacy for
denomination. Some of the committee
men expressed great Indignation at the
text of Colonel Roosevelt's statement,
which they declared was deserving of an
emphatic reply. Others, however, coun-
seled against reply OF any kind and
urged their fellow committee members
to ignore the statement. This advice
finally prevailed.

NEARLY IN A COLLISION.
President Taft's Private Yacht Was in
Path of a Steamer.

Old Point Comfort, Va, June l0.-The
presidential yacht Mayflower, with the
president and Mrs. Taft and a party of
guests aboard, narrowly escaped coll
lision early yesterday with the steamer
Northland of the Norfolk & Washing
ton line near Lookout point. Prompt
action by officers of the two vessels pre-
vented what looked for a minute like
an accident
The Northland left Washington for
Norfolk shortly after the Mayhower
sailed at $3.50 o'clock Saturday night.
Although she kept the Mayfower in
sight until dark and although she is a
much speedier boat, Captain Posey of
the Northland made no attempt to pass
the president. In Chesapeake bay, how
ever, where there is plenty of sea room,
II was decided to forge ahead of the
Mayfower.
The Northland gave signal that she
wished to pass on the Mayfiower's port
side and few seconds later came in
response from the yacht that she wished
the Northland to pass on the starboard
Officers on the Northland began slowly

before they grasped just what was hap

sharp short blasts shot from the North

out" The Northland's wheel was flung
over, her engines slowed down and she
sheered to starboard with shudder, the
Mayflower making her way across the
Northland's course less than a thous-
and feet away. President Taft was not
told of the incident. but il was dis
cussed on the Mayhower and among the
officers of the Northland.

SPECULATING ON
RO0SEVELTS ACTION
Whether He Will Go to Chicago This
Week-Some Men in Chicago
Say That He Will

Chicago, june l0.-The possibility OF
the arrival here of Colonel Roosevelt
within few days furnished the chief
topic of discussion at the political head
quarters with the beginning of the final
week of preliminaries for the Republi-
can national committee. Some of the
j Roosevelt leaders maintained the colonel
would not be here any time prior to the
convention and others asserted they had
received positive information that he
was to come by Thursday. The politi-
cal colony has been augmented by the
arrival OF scores Of leaders and numer-
Gus delegates.
The contests in Alabama, Arkan-
sas, Florida and Georgia, which
were decided last week, added total
OF y delegates TO the strength cred
I tied to Taft. Whether it foretold a
"steam roller" policy of giving the
whole business to Taft" as the Roose-
welt adherents now claim, or whether
the contests still to be decided will give
some to Taft and some to Roosevelt,
is matter of much speculation and bit
ter interchange between the leaders.

STRlKE-BREAkERS
ON BOSTON CARS
And Boston Elevated Railway Strike Has
Settled Down to a Question
of Endurance.

Boston, June l0.-The strike of the
several thousand employees of the Bos-
ton Elevated railway has settled down to
a question of endurance. A partial re-
sumption of the trolley service was
made at dawn, after quiet night and
the strikers claimed to be receiving con
slant additions. Many new faces are
seen on the platforms of the trolley cars
and hundred men have reached the
city from New York. The company
promised nearer approach to normal
service to-day and said an attempt
would be made to run all-night cars.
Some minor acts of violence in various
sections were reported during last even
ing. In South Boston a gang took
motorman and conductor from a car and
handled them roughly. In Roxbury
rocks were thrown at an elevated train
from house in the vicinity of Bart
lett street. Windows in the train were
smashed but no one was injured, so far
as could be learned.

CHILD WAS KILLED
BY BIG AUTOMOBILE
Rose Foster, Aged 10, Victim at Rut.
land Yesterday-Another Automo-
bic Turned Turtle and a
Woman Was Hurt.

Rutland, June l0.--In one of two al-
tomobile accidents in this city yester-
day, Rose Foster, 10 years old, was
struck and almost instantly killed by a
big machine driven by George Burditt
OF North Main street. In the other a
touring car owned and driven by Lyle
Morse of East street turned turtle on
the road leading to West Rutland and
Mrs. George Morse, when she jumped
from the car, badly injured her left knee
and ankle.
Rose Foster, in company with a num-
Der of other small children, was return
ing from benediction at st. Peters
church and the Burditt machine was ap-
preaching as the little ones had just
started to cross the road. All but the
little Foster girl hesitated about TAX
ing the chance, but she continued and
when in the middle of the road became
so frightened that she could not move.
The machine could not be stopped and
both wheels passed over the child's body,
breaking her neck. Bystanders were all
of the opinion that there could be no
blame attached to Mr.. Burditt, who was
driving at a slow rate.
The Morse automobile was being driy
en- by its owner, who was getting in
structions as to its operation, the ma
chine being new one. In some manner
he lost control of the car and it shot
out of the road and over the embank-
ment.
Three automobiles narrowly escaped
collision at the corner of West street
and Merchants row last night at eight
O'Clock, the machines being brought to
a stop only a few inches apart.

PUT OUT SMALL FIRE.
Blaze This Morning at House on Up.
land Avenue.

The chemical truck and several regu-
lars from the eentraI fire station were
called by telephone to 10 Upland avenue
at S:55 o'clock this morning for a minor
blaze which broke out in the house
owned and occupied by S. O. Bennett.
Owing to the series of hills that had to
be surmounted before the scene Of the
fire could be reached, four horses were
attached to the truck and the entire
distance was made with a double hitch
When the regulars arrived, small flames
were shooting upwards around the over
heated chimney, but the blaze was
quickly subdued by the chemical appli-
cations. The damage was slight, but
the fremen reached the house none too
soon and the double hitch of horses
proved wise precaution.

TEAM AND AUTO coLLIDED.
And Horse Took to the Vacant Lots in
Terrible Alarm.

While returning to Montpelier late
Saturday afternoon in his Marmon auto
mobile William jackson, the contractor,
was progressing along at a moderate
rate OF speed, when at the junction of
Beckley and Main streets he was turn
ing to the right side of the road, in
order that he might pass team in front
of him proceeding in the same direction.
Driving from the opposite direction was
A. Cavalieri, fruit dealer.
Cavalieri reined his horse to the left
when the team approaching was few
rods away. When he turned he headed
for the path of the automobile. Mr..
jackson, his party and bystanders did
their best to make the fruit dealer revert
to his old course, but the frantic shouts
and bellows from the automobile horns
could not avert the collision The horse
fell to the ground. throwing the driver
off the seat onto the rear of the shafts.
Before the owner could recover himself,
the horse had regained its feet and at
fast clip raced up Beckley street. After
progressing about one hundred yards, the
horse spied an open field at the left and
made for the vacant lots. After cross
ing the sidewalk the frightened steel
fell for the second time, hurling Cava-
lieri from his seat.
William Carson, who lives near by and
had witnessed the spectacle of the horse
and team coming up the street with its
owner clinging to the reins while lodged
on the shaft, caught the animal and held
it while the fruit dealer was recovering
himself. One shaft of the team was
broken and the harness badly torn.
Cavalieri suffered only bad scare. The
Marmon car was not damaged to as
great an extent as at first supposed. one
o fthe mudguards being dented and a
light smashed.
According to eve witnesses of the acct
dent. Jackson was exonerated from all
blame that might be attached. He gave
sufficient warning to Cavaleri and did
his utmost to avert the accident when
he saw that the fruit dealer would not
change his course.

FARMERS 70 HOLD
: THEIR GRASS SEED
Two Hundred Met at WelIsyilIe kanp
to Discuss Prices.
WILL NOT ACCEPT LOW OFFERS
Two.Thirds Of the Growers In the
state VIII co-operate-Some
Would Burn Seed, "
Necessary.

Wellsville, Kan, Aug. 2S.-Two hum
dred farmers from the vicinity OF
Wellsville, Edgerton, Gardner, Spring
hill and Paola met here to discuss the
question Of securing better price for
their meadow fescue, or English blue
grass seed. The meeting was attended
by farmers who have about 100 cars
of the seed to sell. Last year this
seed was worth IS a bushel OF ~
pounds, or about $4,000 car. This
year the ruyers are Offering but five
cents a pound, less than one-fourts the
price at which the seed sold In 1911.
The farmers want to know why there
is such a difference In the price and
their meeting was held to hear re-
ports from committees that had been
appointed to investigate the situation.
Big Crop In Four Counties.
Practically the entire meadow
fescue seed crop is grown in Johnson.
Miami, Franklin and Douglas coun-
ties in Kansas and Missouri where
the seed is grown to advantage, but
in limited quantities. The seed buy
ers practically depend upon the crop
from these four counties to supply the
foreign demand.
Meadow fescue is sown in England,
Germany and Denmark to furnish pas
ture. The farmers there are COM
PEELED to practice intensive cultiva-
ton and they can better AFFORD to buy
the seed than attempt to raise it. The
larger part of the seed grown in east
ern Kansas goes to these countries.
Why the Slump In PrIce2
Three or four seed houses buy all
the seed grown in this part of the
state. The farmers cannot under
stand why there should be such a
slump in the price, and they believe
cooperation will secure better price
than they are now offered. At meet
ing here two weeks ago $1,1OO was
pledged for the use Of committee APP
pointed to investigate markets and
prices in this and foreign countries.
They have cables from German buy
ers and are confident that by holding
their seed they can realize a better
price. s.f+.1,
! Probably two-thirds Of the growers
in this part of the state were repre-
sented in the meeting. Cooperation
between farmers has been an. ideal
seldom realized. but these men be-
lieve they can hold together and Sc
cure better profits. All are enthusi-
astic, and some even declare they will
burn their seed before they will sell
again at as low a price as they have
in the past
