Washington. June 5.-The restoration
nv the Senate Monday of the provision
for two battleships in the naval appro-
prjation hill-the provision stricken out
by the House--was the occasion of much
speculation in Washington yesterday.
Prominent Democrats as well as Repub-
lican members OF the House freely say
that the House will not recede from its
sction. 1t is pointed out that that ac-
ton is the carrying out of the orders
of two caucuses and that party disci-
pine is such that the caucus orders will
be adhered to.
The Senate is equally firm, Senator
Lodge, for example, said to your CORE
spondent yesterday that the Senate is
a coordinate branch of the government
and could do some standing on its own
party program, too. The senator init
mated. and in this intimation members
OF the House in general concur, that
a long deadlock over the battleship
clause is inevitable.

REVIEWS ATTACK ON TAFT

Oyster Bay, June 5.--Col. Roosevelt
in a statement discussing the Ohio re-
suit called it "pure political brigandage."
He said: "The politicians by adroit ma
nipulation have squeezed the delegates
giving Taft those at large in frank and
cynical defiance of the emphatic action
OF the people themselves. This is mere
" fresh and conclusive proof that tart
and his advisers care. nothing for the
will of the people and are eager to get
the nomination without reference TO
methods and a browning illustration OF
Taft's theory of government OF the peo-
pie by a representative part OF the peo-
pie"
Rooseyelt's statement attacks VIII

and commends to the attention of his
opponents, including Taft, the report OF
the legislative committee regarding con-
ditions at Albany.

Senator Dixon, Col. Roosevelt's man

terday, said: at is not physically pos
sible for Taft to get enough delegates in
the national convention. The TAFT cam
paign has collapsed.
"The Ohio delegates at large were stol-

shows the contrast between the methods
of Roosevelt and TAFT"
Discussing William Barnes statement,
Senator Dixon said:
"If | were Barnes ! would not get into
a controversy with a man like Roosevelt
because of the existence of certain state
documents. | refer to the report of the
committee that investigated at Albany"
Six Delegates for Taft.
Columbus, June 5.-The Republican
state convention awarded President Taft
six delegates large to the national
Republican convention yesterday by
vote of 300h to 1921.
The state ticket, including a new con-
gresham large, will be chosen at an
adjourned session July 2,
"The action of yesterdays convention
shows the Republicans still have conf
dence in President Taft, and the result
will go far in determining the vote in
the Chicago convention" said L. c. Lay
lin, Taft's Ohio manager.
Brown, the Roosevelt manager, said
that "if the Roosevelt men had been
permitted to vote for themselves it would
have been impossible for the convention
to have mispresented Republicans of
Ohio"
The convention results give Taft IA

When Phyllis drives her motor car

There's not monarch, earl or king
with whom | would exchange my
place.
| long to take her hand in mine.
And tell her of the love feel;
Rut. no. her thoughts are far from me,
And both her hands are on the wheel.
Her talk is all of chain and gears,
OF sprockets, rims and springs,
OF non-skid tires and inner tubes,
OF carburetors and such things;
And when I'd take her hand in mine
And tell her of the love | feel
She saws; "You really must look out,
And keep your hands, please, of the
wheel"
1t surely is a cruel fate
To love girl who knows so much,
Who holds the wheel, likewise youi
heart,
Beneath her lightest finger touch;
For when you'd take her hand in yours
And tell her of the love you feel
She says: "You really must take care,
And keep your hands, please, off the
wheel"
Some day hope tire will burst,
Blow out or come right off the car,
And that beside the road Wen stop,
Out in the country-very far,
And then I'll take her hand in mine
And tell her of the love / feel
When we are sitting there quite still,
And both her hands are off the wheel.

A pleasant contrast to the sad fate of Beethoven is furnished by Dr. Thiri- wall, the radical bishop of St David's. who wrote the history of Greece that held the field before the arrival of Grote. In his old age he became stone deaf, but, so far from fretting, declared that the infirmity was really blessing. because it relieved him from the futile conversat ton of bores- One day friend. forgetting the bishops deafness. greeted him with the usual remark about the weather. "Eh?" queried the bishop Tt is a fine day" beloved the friend repeatedly into the prelate's @ ear When Thirlwall finally grasped the meaning of the remark he quietly philosophical: Dear me.

'"They say that Moltlze is on visit here- Could you tell me. sir, whether it might be pos sible to catch sight of him?'' The old man replied that if the gentleman would come again in the course of tho afternoon he might perhaps see Moltke in the garden. In his joy the stranger rendered a mark to the communicative gardener who promptly pocketed It. The strangers consternation may well be imagined when on his return in the afternoon he heheld the identical old gardener walking arm in arm with Major von Burt.

The coroner held that the men looked to their foremen~ to pro- tect them from danger, and that Del Grosso's death occurred because Do- Ian had not taken due precaution to safeguard him.
 Attorney CIitus King represented the state, and Attorney J. B. Klein the railroad foreman. It was brought out in the testimony that the victim who was sharpening a pick on one of the rails WIS violatine rule of the com pany when he was run down.
