TAFT CONTEST WAS
FIRST ON TODAY
At CHICAGO
Action On It Finally Put Over
Until Wednesday
SLOW PROGRESS MADE
Harder Cases From Indiana, Michigan
Washington and Missouri are
Now Before Committee

Chicago, June 10.-The first contest
made by the Taft men was before the
national committee today With the
claim of two delegates from Califor-
MIA for Taft.
After considerable sparring be-
tween counsel, final action on the
case was deferred until Wednesday
by vote of 80 to a. This was as
requested by Senator Dick of the Taft
forces.
The committee, however, voted to
put the entire California delegation
on the roll temporarily including
those whoare contested in behalf of
Taft. Senator Dick in the California
case, puts forward the contention that
it was not elected under the roles
provided by the national committee.
The Indian case was their taken
up. The Indiana and Michigan cases
are much alike in that strong arm
methods were used by the state com
mittees to give Taft a majority in the
conventions.
Secretary Hilles gave out a state
ment this noon that the result of the
first ballot will be the nomination OF
Taft, even if the national committee
setats the Roosevelt delegations from
California, Washington, Missouri and
Texas, which many of the Taft men
concede should go to. the colonel.
Without these, Hilles claims that
Taft will have 577 to 455 for Roose
welt, sc for La Toilette and 10 fol
Cummhs. These figures were ridi
culed at the Roosevelt headquarters
where Senator Dixon stated that Col
Roosevelt would have an even 900 OF
direct assurances so far received

City hospital on the pay car special.
While his home is at Pittstown, the

a railroad crossing, when Mr. Stevens

and both of the mans legs were brok-
en-. He also sustained several minor
head injuries, but it is supposed the

NAN AT LARGE
WITH SMALL POX

Grand Forks, N. D., March 49,
With the scales dropping off Of him
the man, a Greek with an uppro-
nounceable name, arrived in Grand
Forks this morning from Devils Lake
He spent considerable time about the
city and in The Great Northern sta.
ton before anyone paid any particu-
lar attention to him. He mingled
with the crowd in the Depot, and
probably would have been walking
the strests rs1w if Patrolnan Blue
had rot noticed the red marks on his
face.
The officer Immediately took
charge of the man and hurried him
to the health officer, who ordered
him to the pest house. The nurse at
the detention hospital informed the
policeman that the Greek was Just
getting W. the disease. D..
The Greek said that he had been
employed in the Great Northern con
struction camp in Devils Lake and
that he had come to Grand Forks to
try and get a pass to Minneapolis. He
didn't seem to realize that he had
the smallpox and was perhaps spread
ing the disease right and left.

Willy GREEK WAS
FINALLY NABBED

Grand Forks. N. D., March 12.-Aft-
eer keeping the authorities of Grand
Forks county and Winnipeg hopping
for many weeks, Jim Lambos, the
Greek restaurant man Of the oily repu-
tation, was yesterday taken into GUS
&tody by Daniel Mcpherson, chief con-
stable in winnipeg. The Greek ad-
mitted his identity Immediately after
his arrest. He had been living under
an alias and although questioned by
detectives many times he stoutly
maintained that he was not the man
wanted.
Lambos was arrested in Grand
Forks in July, with a driver for the
Nash Bros. company named Murphy.
Lambos was charged with buying
stolen property and the driver with
stealing goods from his employers.
Murphy was given a jail sentence
and later made good a part Of the
goods he had stolen. The Greek was
held on bonds of $500 which he Sc
cured.
One afternoon Lambos vas talking
business in the office of Nash Bros,
when his bondsman happened to re-
mark that he was going to take his
name off his bond, as the Greek could
not square his account at the whole
sale house.
Rather than go to Jail for lack of
bonds, the Greek bolted out of the
office door and has not been seen in
