TAFT NEEDS ONLY 10
Mckinley Says He Has 527 Delegates
Instructed or Pledged.

washington, D. c.. May 17.-Colonel
Roosevelt's statement in Ohio Wednes-
day that he was assured of the Repub-
lican nomination for president was a
subject of comment by the directors
of both the Roosevelt and Taft head
quarters here Thursday. Senator Dixon
in charge of the Roosevelt headquar-
tiers, said:
Colonel Roosevelt in his statement
underestimated his real strength on
the first ballot. I now have positive
information from Roosevelt leaders in
New York that three more delegates
from that state have given their assur
ance that they intend to vote for
Roosevelt on the first ballot. This
makes "a who will vote for Roosevelt
on the first ballot"
Senator Dixon asserted that many
southern delegates claimed by the
Tafe people would vote for Roosevelt.
Representative Mckinley in charge
of the national Taft bureau, said:
Theodore Roosevelt's claim that he
will be nominated at the Republican
national convention at Chicago is
shown on the face of the returns from
conventions thus far held to be false
and intended to miSlead. Today Pres
ident Taft already has 527 delegates
instructed or pledged to his renomina-
ton. Mr.. Roosevelt has 800. Presi-
dent Taft needs only IS more votes.
Mr.. Roosevelt needs 231. He has no
more real claim than w. J. Bryan or
Eugene v. Debs.

WASHBURN PLAY
Outdoor Amphitheater Fitted to Ac-
commodate 1000 Persons.

More than $500 has been spent by the
Washburn College Dramatic club to
costume the annual outdoor play that
will be given on the campus this ev-
ening. This play, the college believes,
will be the most successful in the his
tory of the organization. Shakes
peare's Twelfth Night is the attrac-
ton and the natural amphitheater be-
hind Boswell hall on the campus has
been improved to accommodate 2,00c
persons.
Several we'll known students who
have played before Topeka audiences
in the high school and college plays
will be seen in the cast this evening
The dramatic club has taken special
pains to make this their best stage
attraction-and the expense of pur-
chasing costumes for the play is one
of the features they have promised.
The Twelfth Night is considered
one of Shakespeare's jolliest comedies
The Washburn Dramatic club, accord
ing to rehearsal reports, is going tc
squeeze every drop of comedy from the
play for the benefit of the spectators
tonight. The cast:
Viola-Helen Griffin.
Oliva-Maud McManime.
Maria-Rebecca Welty.

NORRIS SAYS IT'S TRUE
Stands by Statement He Found Forty
Three Joints in Topeka.

Rev Robert Norris today gave the
State Journal a statement about 1.-THE
Forty Joint episode. Mr.. Norris
waited long before suggesting the refu-
tation of the story that he had testi-
fed before the federal grand jury that
he had evidence of only one joint. He
asserts that he had the list of As with
him but that he was asked about but
one.
There was no intention in that or
any other article to misrepresent Mr..
Norris and his statement emitting the
personal part is given herewith:
I'm the first place, Judge Pollock
said the proceedings of the grand jury
are secret forever. Your article says
For the greater portion of half day,
Norris testified under oath before the
federal grand jury Four witnesses,
of whom Mr.. Norris was one, were
examined at that particular time and
the entire time consumed was about
35 minutes from the time I was called
before the grand jury probably Is
ris was confronted by a speech made
last fall and by newspaper interviews
in which he said there were 40 joints
operating wide open in Topeka and
that he had visited and bought liquor
in all of them This is untrue, as no
mention was made of any such matter
whatever. You say Norris could re-
call just one lone joint No question
was asked of but one place, and had
the notes in my pocket at the time on

suppose. If the grand jury wanted any

Statements.
SUBSTITUTE WAS FOUN[

Miss Georgia Cooper, a II year old
Holton girl, today corroborated the
statements of Josephine Boggs con-
corning the attempted traffic in girls
by Charlotte Thomann and Detective
H. G. Medlock, two defendants in the
GiIlett case. 1t was only due to a
peculiar circumstance, the Cooper
girl believes, that she herself did not
fall a victim to the plans.
Miss Cooper, who was today taken
before County Attorney Simon, de-
scribed her experiences with Mrs.
Thomann and Medlock when she Wis
tied the Switzerland hotel in Holton.
Later in the day, the girl retold her
story for publication. She is an or
phan and is II years old. 1t is now
probable that the girl will be used as
one of the principal witnesses in the
prosecutions of the Thomann woman
and Detectives Medlock and Errics-
son.

It was the scheme to entrap 6. o.
Griffin of Valley Falls, in which an
effort is said to have been made by
Medlock and the Thomann woman to
procure Georgia Cooper. When this
plan failed, Josephine Boggs, anoth-
err Holton girl, was brought to Topeka
and used as the dupe in plot that lat
er hinged on the verge of blackmail.
That none of the plans of the Griffin
escapade were revealed to the Cooper
girl, was evidently due to the fact that
she broke an engagement and left Mrs.
Thomann's hotel before Griffin'S ar
rival.
The circumstances of the Griffin
case were told in the State Journal
several days ago. Griffin had brought
suit against Lakin w. Smith of Wich-
tia in which he asked $4,000 dam

ton met Griffin at the Chesterfield no.
tel in Topeka. Later she gave Err
ricSSon an affidavit relating the cir
cumstances of that trip. She said she
was II years old. This affidavit is
said to have been used in an effort to
force dismissal of the damage suit.
Went to the Hotel.
According to the story from the lips
of Georgia Cooper, she was invited to
the Switzerland hotel the night of
January IS. Charley Boyle, sweet
heart of the Boggs girl, called Miss
Cooper over the telephone and urged
her to attend a party at the hotel. He
told her Mrs. Thomann wanted her to
meet a Mr.. Griffin, who was nice
young man.
That night the girl went to the ho-
tel. Mrs. Thomann, Boyle and Med
lock were there. Griffin was up town.
Mrs. Thomann and the detective were
anxious that Miss Cooper should wait
until the man returned. She says she
left the hotel about o'clock in COM
pany with Boyle.
