ROOSEVELT MEN THREATEN TO BOLT
TAFT FORCES WIN ALL MEASURES BY SMALL MAJORITIES AT THE
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL C0NVENTON--FRAU Is CLAIMED
Supporters Roosevelt Claim They Cannot Fair Claim Taft
Stole Delegates May Mean Split the Republican Party
There is Some Talk of a Compromise

the foorleader of the Roosevelt
men.
The first fight between the Taft
and Roosevelt forces commenced
when the voting on the temporary
craftsmanship started. Almost
every point was contested and the
voting proceeded until late in the
afternoon when the complete roll
call gave Root 564 votes and
McGovern 544 votes The Taft
men look upon the election of Root
as a certain indication that Taft
will receive the nomination for the
presidency.
On Wednesday afternoon the
Taft forces won the second test
vote of the convention when a
motion to lay on the table an
amendment to Governor Had
ley's motion to substitute a new
temporary roll was carried by a
vote of SOP to $40. The amend
ment, proposed by Governor
Deneen was that contested dele
gates be excluded from voting on
the Hadley motion.
Under ordinary parliamentary
rules this would also table the
original motion aud finally dis
pose of the Roosevelt proposal
that the temporary organization
pass on the temporary roll before
referring it to credentials commit
J tee.
Wednesday evening the Roosevelt
members of the credentials com
mittee bolted twice from the com
mittee room and the last time, al
near the midnight hour, declared
they would not return as the cases
heard before the national committee
were farcicial and there was nc
chance of their having a fair hear
ing.
By Wednesday many of the Tai
and Roosevelt men were in favor
of compromise candidate and the
name of Gov. Hadley, of Missouri
was frequently brought up. The
Roosevelt leaders asserted that tn,
Taft men were trying to defea
Roosevelt at any cost and withou
regard to whether the means useC
were foul or fair. Yesterday even
ing it was claimed that the Roose
Welt men would bolt and that al
attempt to organize a new part,
would be made.

PREPARING FOR COUNTY FAIR
Directors Securing Premium List
Commissioners Give $500

The directors of the county fair
association have been busy this
week stimulating interest in the
fair to be held at Standpoint in
September. G. w. York has
offered several premiums for bee
and honey exhibits, Paul Clagstone
has offered a Hereford bull for the
best general farm exhibit. The
Careywood company, B. S. Ben
nett, Andrew Christensen and
others have also offered premiums
to encourage the success of the fair
which promises to be the best in
the history of the county. OF
course it is understood that those
who offer the premiums will not
themselves compete for them. The
fair association invites others to
offer premiums for different kinds
of exhibits so as to make the dis
play the largest and to comprise
the greatest variety ever shown in
the county.
An appeal was made to the
county commissioners for an APP
preparation and they gave $500 fol
that purpose. Review, Standpoint

The interest of the whole United
States has been centered on the
proceedings of the Republican
National Convention the past three
days as it is apparent that the
future of the grand old party
will largely depend on the final
action of the delegates who are 10
select the republican nominee for
president. 1t is generally known
that conflict between Roosevelt and
Taft supporters has created a crisis
in the affairs of the republican
ranks and while the Taft forces
have won all measures before the
convention up to the present time,
by small majorities, the Roosevelt
men claim that these victories
have been the result of fraud and
have made many threats of boiling
from the convention. The fight
between the Taft and Roosevelt
forces is over the seating OF II
delegates which the Taft men claim
cannot rightfully sit in the conven-
ton and the Roosevelt men assert
are full fledged delegates. Up till
noon today it seems as if a split III
the party is certain although there
has been some talk of a compro-
mise candidate. The majority OF
the Taft and Roosevelt followers
are not in favor of a compromise
however.
Yesterday the convention opened
its session at noon and Immediately
adjourned until four o clock. Nc
new Developments in the situation
were reached but it is asserted thai
the final outcome of the convention
will be known this evening or to-
morrow.
The republican national conven
ton was called to order at Chicago
Tuesday soon after the noon hour
Immediately after the usual cere'
monies of the opening of the con
ton the Roosevelt and TAFT dele
gates locked horns over the electior
of the temporary chairman.
In behalf of the Taft forces
Victor Rosewater, OF Nebraska
chairman of the national commit
tee, presented the name OF Ehhl
Root, of New York, for the temp
-orary craftsmanship. The Roose
welt delegates nominated Jane

FINANCES FOR
.att IDAHO MINE
Eastern Capital Now Interested In
Idaho Continental Mine By
Pres. A. Klockmsnn
HAVE $4,000 FOR EQUIPMENT
Development Work at Porthlll Mine to
Be Pushed Rapidly

The fact that A. Hickman, pres
ident of the Idaho Continental
Mining company located % miles
from Porthill had successfully
negotiated with the leading officials
of the Amalgamated Copper COM
pany for an advance of $50, 900
with which to develope and carry
on work at the Porthill property,
was made public Saturday and
the fact that the Amalgamated
Copper company has interested it
self in property west of Butte and
has so invaded the Guggenheim
territory seems to promise mater
ial change in the lead and silver
mining industry in the west.
The principal stockholders of the
Idaho Continental Mining company
reside in Spokane although few
citizens of Standpoint and this city
own stock in the property and these
people are jubilant over the success
of Mr.. Hickman in securing the
financial aid which will surely
mean the development of mine
that will equal any property of the
Couer d Alene country.
At a recent meeting of the Idaho
Continental company directors a
10-year contract was entered into
with the international Smelling &
Refining company, which is to
handle the entire output of the
mine, and the work. of installing
the new machinery will be COM
menced as soon as the wagon road
from Porthill to the property is
completed. The highway is to be
prepared for autotrucks in the
summer and large capacity ore sleds
in the winter. The maximum
grade for the entire % miles is less
than per cent. The thoroughfare
is already partly finished, and an
extra force of men will be put to
work at once.
In the last two years 500, DOC
has been expended in developing
the Idaho Continental. The funds
provided by the Amalgamated in
terests will be devoted exclusively
to its equipment, which will consist
of a 30O-ton daily capacity concen-
traitor, hydro electric power plant
12-drill compressor plant, saw.
mill and the buildings necessary to
house the machinery and furnish
accommodation for the employees
The sawmill will be taken in as
soon as the wagon road is open and
will be placed in operation immed
lately preparing timbers for the
structures.
The Idaho Continental company
group consists of 20 claims, devel
oped by a mile of underground
workings to depth of 500 feet
The mine was operated on an ex
tensive scale for brief period sew
eral years ago and shipped 120t
tons of high-grade silver-lead ore
which proved especially uniform il
quality and consistent in value
The property was examined re
Gently by Frederick Burbidge o
Spokane, formerly general manage
of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
Reno H. Sales of Butte, Mont.
chief geologist for the Amalgamate
Copper company, and Fred 7
Greene, formerly with the ANA
gamated company, but now a ger
eral mining engineer in Butte, an
their reports agree on an estimat
of 81 900, 900 net of ore in sigh
above the 500-foot level.

JORDAN EDWARDS sNIFFs AT OFFER OF $500 REWARD
Refuses to eetrsy His Kinsmeu, the
 Allen Outlaws.

TIii1sv1le Va, April 4---Another days pursuit of the courthouse assas- sins stil1 at large had brought no news of success from the posses in the mountains late tonight.
 Jordan Edwards, one of the Aliens' kinsmen, arrested yesterday, charged with giving aid to Stdna Allen and Wesley Edwards. the only two out iaws of the band who have not been taken, was given a grilIng by the chief of detectives today in the hope that he might tell their whereabouts. The mountaineer was firm and did not betray them. He scorned an offer that the $500 offered for the men would be his if he gave them up. It turned out that he is in Sidna Aliens debt. Detectives have found a great many others in this county in the same plight, who fear being suspected of aiding officers.
 A change of venue for the trial of the murderers seems certain. Clerk Goad, ahe only officer of Carroll court who was not killed in the assassina- ton of March 14. is the principal wit ness for the prosecution. The Aliens probably will not be tried In a court where one of its officers was a prose- cutting witness.

SITUATION AT MEMPHIS.
Mayor Says Commercial Interests Are
 Not Affected.

Memphis, Tenn, April 4.-Mayor H. Il. Crump of Memphis said today he had received a number of telRgrams from mayors of larger cities express ing sympathy for and rendering aid to Memphis because of the Mississippi 1 river flood. Mayor Crump attributed these telegrams to grossly exaggerated reports sent out regarding the situa- tiOn, and requested The Associated Press to disseminate the following of hcial statement, signed by him: Memphis has 19 square miles, and Of this territory not over eight blocks contiguous to Bayou Gayoso is af- fected by the overflow. and that is an old section of the city in the extreme north, and which is very low and 1 which has been subject to overflow ! aver since Memphis was a town. The | commercial interests in the city are not affected, and with the exception of | a few people who live in the small overdowed districts, largely made up of negroes, who have moved time after time before on account of high water, the rest of the city Is not affected.
 Memphis is situated on high blun and before Memphis proper could be Overfiowed the entire country would be covered with a sheet of water for hun- dreds of miles to a depth of IS or 20 feet"
 Six Feet of Water in Street.
 New Madrid, Mo-, April 4.-Water stands from three to six feet deep in the streets of the city tonight There is water in every house and the dis tress is great. Business has been sus- pended and the city Is almost deserted. No trains are running into or out of the town.
 The casualty list has been length Sned according to reports brought to Charleston, Mo, by refugees from the inundated towns of Birds NH and Wy att. They say several persons have been drowned, and many are perched upon hOusetOps and in trees awaiting rescue. There are no boats at Charles ton to go to their assistance but mo- tor boats enroute from Popular Bluff and Moorehouse should reach them by tomorrow.

MarOOned Kentucky City Relieved Water Supply of
 Memphis Becomes Polluted
NO INDICATION OF ABATEMENT OF THE FLOOD
Several More Drownmgs and Many Persons Perched in HOusetOps and Trees-River Now Within Two -Tenths Foot of the DeadLne" "--Levees Appear to be Doomed Practical Stoppage of Navigation on the Mississippi

No sign of abatement Of the flood which for days has dealt or threatened disaster all along the banks of the Mississippi river from St Louis to Arkansas City conforted yesterday the thousands of homeless sufferers wait ing for the return of normal conditions to go home and find out what tho water has left them. Instead, the water came from the north in ver-increaS- ing volume, with predictions that more would follow.
 Last night saw tho river within two tenths of foot of what the Memphis weather bureau had termed the dead line-44 feet In his opinion the leYees will go when the pressure represented by that much water Is reached. A stage of 45 feet. 10 feet above the danger line, Is predicted. Weak spots have appeared, too. at Mound City, Ark, and at the Reel Foot levee west of Hickman, Ky.
 All along the river shifts of men en- engaged in reinforcing the sorely test ed leVees were urged to redouble efforts. while behind the dykes those who had not obeyed the warning and fled, gath cred up or secured their movable prop erty and hastened to the hills- Numer- ous uDc0ndrmed reports of breaks in levees not designed to withstand an unheard of flood increased anxiety the length of the danger zone.
 The day, however, brought relisf in the shape of provisions and tents to the $500 refugees at Hickman, Ky, that number including the 2,000 driven from their homes in the factory dis trict there and 1.600 gathered in from the submerged area across on the Mis- Bouri side. Governor Harmon of Ohio today offered more tents for the suf~ ferer8 in Ksntucky and Tennessee.
 At Memphis, where nc less than a dezen first class river steamers are tied up, the flooding of the whole of the lowlying section in the northern part of the city, 1t is feared, has pol- luted the water supply. The health au- thcr1ties have warned the residents of the closed-1n section to boil the drink ing water ss preventive measure.
 The death list was s~slled today. At BurkesVille, Ky, Miss Allen Alexander was drowned when & boat Oapsized in the overflowed section of Red river. A negro Ras drowned at New Madrid, Mo.
 At Craigs Landing, Mo-, Il employees of the Mengel Box company of Hick- man, Ky, were placed for a time in desperats predicaInent, having remain ed behind when ss others were taken away in boats At length they were rescued
 One of the phases of the flood Is the stoppage of practically all traffic, not only on the Mississippi, but on the Ohio and the other navigable trihu- taries of the Father of Waters. Usual ly a "big river'' Is the signal for an urdsuel amount of traffic. Especially is this true of the "coal fieets' from Pittsburg, which so down the Ohio whenever possible on 8 rise" Now, however, hundreds of barges and coal boats are fast waiting until the Mis- issippi is open for towboats again. High water, too, on most of the streams
