June 22.-It is not often that a United

especially as a messenger boy sent on err
rands to a nearby store. But Senator
Burton was caught in the act yesterday
afternoon.
The lunch problem was a serious one
as the convention continued to sit during
eating hours The food problem became
a serious one down among the members
of the Ohio delegation, where Senator
Burton was seated Finally it was sug-
gested that a relief party be organized
and Mr. Burton was nominated in much
less time than 1t has taken to name q
President as it's head. In about ten min
utes Mr. Burton returned to the hall with
an arnful of sandwiches that made his
face behind 1t look shady.
What do you think Of the high cost

mo one can blame the prices on the
tariff. anyway" Mr.. Burton replied.

1t was signed in printed letters. by

HARDING OF OHIO
SPEAKS FOR TAFT
Places the President Before
the Chicago Convention
for denomination.
ALLUDES TO THE STRIFE
IN RANKS OF THE PARTY
Lauds the Administration and
Record of Things Done"

CHICAGO, June 23.-Warren G. Hard
ing of Ohio placed the name Of Presi-
dent Taft before the convention for the
nomination, and in doing so he referred
repeatedly to the internecine strife that
had almost convulsed the convention
He declared that only once before was
the foundation of the nation attacked"
making reference to the civil war.
You have heard much lately about
the peoples rule" he said mr.. Chair
man and sirs, the peoples rule Is no
new discovery to a sovereign American
people Nor is demagogic employment
of the term new to the worlds hear
ing. Through such demagogic employ
ment centuries ago republics tottered
and fell and republican liberties were
lost in the sway of empires In their
stead.
The American people literally began
10 rule IN 1776, and there has not been
and never will be any suspension Of that
power. They ruled when thew assented
TO Washlngton's declination of third
term of the presidency and when with
prophetic foresight he admonished them
ever to be on guard against the jeal-
and tend to render alien to one another
those who ought to be tied in fraternal
affection.
Progressives Who Boast.
Mr.. Harding referred later to the
''progressiyes" when he said that he had
heard men "arrogate" to themselves that
title. seemingly forgetting that progress
sion Is the first essential to republican
fellowship.
Progression is not proclamation nor
palaver," he said TT Is not pretense nor
play on prejudice. 1t is not Of per-
sonal pronouns. nor perennial pronounce
ment 1t Is not the perturbation Of q
people passion wrought. nor a promise
proposed Progression is everlAstingly
lifting the standards that marked the end
of the worlds march yesterday and plant
ing them on new and advanced heights
today. Tested by such a standard, Presi-
dent Taft Is the greatest progressive Of
the age"
Extolling the record Of the Taft admin
istration Mr.. Harding declared 1t would
be regarded as 1.-The marvel Of progressive
accomplishment in one administration had
1t not been for the attack Of disloyalty"
in the republican ranks. He found in
President Taft 1.-The finest example Of
lofty principles since the immortal Lin
coin bore the scourge of vengeful tongues
without a murrnur from his noble heart.
Record Of Things Done.
Rejoicing in the gratifying record Of
things DONE" he concluded; confident OF
the forward movement to the things we
are pledged to do; mindful OF the spirit OF
the time and the requirement of poise and
patience; glad Of the new hopes and high
er aspirations Of our people and their
faith in national progress and the har-
mony of his purpose Herewith; measur-
ing his capacity by the exactions Of ex-
perience; testing his patriotism by every
demand Of honesty. courage and Justice:
knowing his devotion to his country and
its people, on behalf of Ohio and one hun
dred millions of advancing Americans, l
name for denomination our great Presi-
dent, William Howard Taft"

The last hour Of grace given by Gen.
Monteagudo to the insurgents expired to-
night and he promises to begin an &C

were scattered and in flight. pursued by
the troops. On this Information the cabi-
net sent a telegram to Gen. Monteagudo
congratulating him on the dispatch with
which he had crushed the instruction.
Charge Newspapers With Libel.
The cabinet also strongly approved the
decision of the president to prosecute the
editors of La Lucia, Ell Dia and La
Phensam for criminal libel in charging
that Gen. Gomez conspired with Gen.
Ivonet to start a revolution for the pur-
pose Of improving the prospects of Gomez

The Cuban Red Cross Society is &C

is enormous. there being 5000 at Songa,
1900 at Palma Sorinano. and many
thousands scattered among the towns
and villages within the Cuban lines. The
congressional appropriation of $50. 600
will go only a short way toward their
relief.

PLAN NEW FLOORING

ing of Cars.

AS the result OF the complaint Of Gran
dal Mackey, Commonwealth attorney
for Alexandria county, Va, that the
Rosslyn Aqueduct bridge Is unsafe, a
new flooring will be put in the bridge
within the next three weeks.
Mr.. Mackey contends that he has
seen as many as four heavily loaded
cars of the Great Falls and Old Domin-
ion railway on the bridge at one time,
which, he claims, Is too great a strain
on the bridge. He further contends that
on reliable information he has learned
that the bridge is leaning slightly to
the west.
Colonel Langhtt. engineer officer in
charge of river and harbor work in this
vicinity, says that as far as he knows
the foundations of the structure are all
right. According to Colonel Langfitt
the foundations are inspected yearly
and If repairs are necessary they are
made. The steel part of the bridge and
the wood work come under the direc-
tion and care Of the Engineer Commis-
