city yesterday, having completed their
work of reviewing the city books for
many years back up to the present
time. City officials who have kept

have caused the city to go into debt
to the amount of about $1,S0O. The re-
suits Of their examinations of the

CHICAGO, June 22.-Though defeat
red on every contest which they had
carried to the credentials committee,
the Roosevelt forces renewed their
battle when the credentials commit
tee commenced their work on the Tex
fas case. There remained to be decided
today cases involving thirty delegates
lin Texas, two in Virginia and possibly
two in Missouri. Out of the thirty con-
tested Texas delegates the national
committee gave four to Roosevelt and
i26 to Taft.
Chairman Deyine addressed the COM
mittee and denounced as gutter work"
a statement issued by the Roosevelt
members denouncing the Taftites' ac-
,,tion. He said this statement which
was given to the morning newspapers,
was as dastardly piece of falsifica-
ltion as was ever concocted Chairman
Deyine stated that the majority would
issue reply.
Devine stated that any one who said
that the majority report of the Gre
credentials comIhittee had been pre-
pared in advance was willful and de-
iliberate liar.
r. r. Mccormick, who gave out the
statement arose to reply. Devine sur
rendered the gavel and threatened a
personal attack on Mccormick. Then
Mccormick sat down.
Committeeman st. Clair, of Idaho,
said he did not believe the committee
had been crooked when Mccormick
made the broad reference to Arizona

frauds had been perpetrated and

GIder was finally restored without
bloodshed but there was another out
break when Halbert, of Minnesota
said Devine was an impartial chair
man.
Esterbrook of New Jersey asked
lHalbert If he intended to support Taft

could not tell yet. HE is going to
bolt shouted Esterbrook.
There was another sharp exchange
between Taft and Roosevelt men in
volving Bloom, Of Georgia, Summers
of Virginia, Mondell, of wyoming, and
Lfbbey, of Maine.
Chairman Devine then appointed the
following men upon a committee to
make reply to the Mccormick state
ment: J. A. Hemenway, of Indiana;
20. NJ. Landstrom of Montana; Will
liam B. Mcfarland, of Florida: F. E.

PLAYS PICCOLO IN
HIS CELL IN JAIL

James Davis, itinerant piccoloist.
lodged in the city Jail yesterday for
failure to pay his board bill at the
Ridgeway restaurant on Main street
paid his bill to the proprietor this
morning and was allowed to depart in
peace. Last night he played classic
airs all evening while in the Jail. His
piccolo was in use all the time, and
the adage that music has power to
still the savage breast" might well ap-
ply to Prosecutor Ladd, who said that
the man might be allowed to leave
Jail if he would pay his board bill. He
did so and left.

CLARK FOR HARMONY.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Speaker
Champ Clark has taken a decided
stand for harmony in the forthcoming
Democratic national convention.
The speaker telegraphed William
Jennings Bryan today that if all join
ed in an appeal to the National Demo
cratic committee to avoid controver-
sizes in organization of the Baltimore
convention the committee would so
arrange matters as to leave the plat
form and the nomination of candidates
the only real issue on which delegates
need divide.
The message expressing the belief
was in the response to the telegram
which Mr. Bryan sent to many proni-
nent Democrats protesting against the
selection of Judge Alton B. Parker, as
temporary chairman of the Baltimore
convention. Speaker Clark's telegram
follows:
Have consulted with committee
having my interests in charge and
agree with them that the supreme con-
sideration should be to prevent any
discord in the convention.
Friends of mine on the sub-commit-
tee on arrangements have already pre-
sented the name of Ollie James to the
subcommittee.
81 believe that if all join in the in
terest of harmony in an appeal to the
entire national committee to avoid
controversies in matters or organiza-
ton that the committee will SO ar
range as to leave the platform and
nomination of candidates the only real
issues on which delegates need di-
vide"
