Capt. John J. Halpin of the Chica-
go detective bureau, believing that

ly known TO the. police are headed to-
ward Chicago to reap harvest
among the convention crowds. has or
dered a general round up of all sus-

Fred w. Upham, who has seat in the
Republican national convention as a del
egate from the 9th Illinois district, plans
to introduce a resolution at the opening
of the convention designed to prevent a
bolt on the part of either side. II will
pledge every delegate to support the
nominee of the convention and will call
on the committee on credentials to deny
a seat To any delegates who viii not
make such a pledge. Precedent for such
a resolution is said to be found in the
convention of 1880, when the anti-third
termers talked of boiling If Grant were
nominated. A resolution of similar ma
ture is declared to have been adopted
at that time.

OroZco, today, wrote formal protest to
the Mexican Congress against holding
elections on June Is throughout the re-
public for deputies and senators to the
national Legislative body. The rebel chief
said the country was i'm arms against
the government and many of the men
in the field therefore could not vote. The
significance of the move lies In the fact
that General Orezco thereby practically
recognizes the Mexican Congress, and is
thought to be in line with a peace pro-
posal said to have originated in Con-
gress, suggesting that if Orozco recog-
nized Congress that body in turn would
recognize him.

THE NOMINATIONS.

yention.
Alabama stands ait the head of the
list of states on the convention ron.
Counting upon the Alabama delega-
tion as certain for Taft. the Presi-
dents political advisers suggested
that she should yield, not to Ohio the
Presidents own state which would put
him in nomination, but to Iowa, that
might put forward the name of its
senior senator.
Next in the roll of states commit
tees Arizona. The taft adherents
claim Arizona, too, and that state, ac-
cording to the approved scheme, would
yield to New York.
Although the Taft leaders also
claim New York by a large majority,
it was their idea that some Roose-
welt delegate be permitted to present
the name of Col. Roosevelt at this
point in proceedings.
Arkansas. another state claimed by
the Taft leaders under this plan,
would then yield to Ohio and the
name of the President be put before
the convention probably by Warren
G. Harding. former lieutenant COVER

vention his sponsor can be relied upon
to leave with the convention. just be-
fore the vote and denunciation of
Col. Roosevelt
Although this was said. tonight, to
be the plan most favored at present,
others have been considered. One was
for the presentation of Mr.. Taft's
name by Mr.. Harding before other
candidates. Another was that Mr.
Taft might be suggested to the con-
vention by New York This appealed
TO some of the Presidents friends
particularly because it is Mr.. Roose-
velts home state. One reason adj
vanced against the giving of the honor
to Ohio was that the state has more

Mr.. Untermyer brought out by reading
from a treatise by James q. Cannon,
member of the clearing house committee.
that the banks of Buffalo practically
paid their dividends by taxing the col
lection of out-of-town checks.
Don't you know that some of the New
York banks are earning from 80 to 40
per cent on their eapital?'
The witness admitted that the National
City Bank was earning 40 per cent on Its
capital of S25,000,000.
The business done with the clearing
house banks by merchants and business
men was in the neighborhood of Y per
cent, he said, as against % per cent. for
stock exchange transactions.
After Mr.. Sherer had explained the
mechanism of clearing house operations,
Mr. Untermyer asked the witness if the
association had any authoritative legal
opinion on the right of the association
to issue clearing house certificates for
gold and legal tender and in times OF
panic. for collateral. The witness said
that such an opinion had been obtained
20 years ago from a reputable law firm,
and that there was a rule against the
use of the certificates outside the MEM
bership of the association.
"But other banks and Individuals have
the privilege of using these certificates,
haven't they?"
''They are just like an I @ between
you and me. The | o U doesn't get into
circulation"
The witness admitted that the legality
of the certificates was moot question.
The hearings will probably be contin-
ued into next week.
