readily repubished the article of
the Goldfeld Tribune which stated
that the coal was of an inferior
article, etc, and y is believed by
many throughout the state today

tain the true facts regarding the
development and quality being pro-
duced. the editor of the Bonanza

and accurate examination Of the
mines now being opened and the

ROOT COHORTS

Oyster Bay, June 3.-After a seven-hour
conference with leaders in his campaign
Col Roosevelt dictated an 1,SOO-word
statement at Sycamore Hill tonight. in
which he defies the Taft cohorts to try
to elect Elihu Root as temporary chair
man OF the Chicago convention. In COM
ing out declsively against Root, the ex-
President abruptly recedes from the ten
tative position he assumed last Saturday.
when he was urged by aggregations of
Roosevelt delegates to abandon the fight
on the Senator. ROosevelt's decision to
push his war against Root was advised
by Senator Dixon, National Committee
man Ward, OF New York; George W. Per-
kins, Medill Mccormick, of Chicago, and
Frank Kellogg, the erstwhile pros
pector," who were in to-day's Sycamore
Hill conference. They counseled that the
progressives had no use for the stand
pat" Senator, and that they want an in
sistent iSsue to be made against his hav-
ing any part in the convention.
A significant feature in Roosevelt's 5
statement was his assumption in hurlinE
q def at the National Committee that
the Taft managers expectations Of con-
trolling the convention by throwing a ma
jOrity Of the contested delegates to Taft
is going to fail. This assurance on Roose-
velt's part is taken to indicate that he
has rather positive information from his
managers that he can get enough of the
several delegates now supposedly for Taft
to insure him supremacy at the conven-

Mrs. Winfield Scott Schley to Get

The widow OF Rear Admiral Winfield

$50 month IL the House confirms the
President Taft approves the bill. Sen
ator Rayner. OF Maryland, introduced
the bill authorizing the pension Of Sl5C
a month, but when the Pension Com
mittee reported it. the amount had been
cut down TO $50 a month. The Senate
yesterday rejected the amendment by a
vote OF Is TO 10 Senator Rayner called
the bill up shortly after the Senate met,
and delivered a speech in the nature OF
a tribute TO the services Of Admiral
Schley.
'The Senator from Maryland was fol-
lowed by the close attention Of his col
leagues. who recalled that IL was he
who appeared as counsel for SChley at
the court of inquiry following the Span
ish-American War, in which the AdmI-
raj was called upon to justify his con-
duct at the battle OF Santiago. Admiral
SChey was a native OF Maryland. which
gave added interest to the eloquent plea
Of the Senator from Maryland in behalf
OF the Schley pension.
In cutting down the amount to $50, the
Senate committee intended no reflection
on Admiral SChley. It simply followed
precedent and rules which have gov
erned the committee in fixing the
amount Of pension for the widow Of an
offiCg with a rank corresponding to
that Of Admiral Schley. Senator Nc
Cumber and Senator Lodge warned the
Senate that 1t was setting a dangerous
precedent to vote pension Of $3.50 to
Mrs. SChley, unless 1t was prepared to
give a like amount to other widows of
officers But Senator Rayner and Sena-
tor KnUte Nelson Of Minnesota defend
&C the higher rate.
Senator Nelson inquired of Senator Nc
Cumbvr chairman of the Pensions Com
mittee. just what income Mrs. Schley en-
joyed from her husbands estate. Sena-
tor McCumber showed that this was only
a little more than $500 a year. Senator
Nelson declared that $50 a month was too
little, and that il would be a shame II
the country gave a sum less than $50
month. He recalled that the widow
Of Admiral Farragut was voted a pension
of 5000 year.
Admiral Schley was the hero Of the
Spanish-AmeriCan war" said Senator
Nelson He was supreme in command
and the battle was fought under his or
ders. do not say that he was as great
a figure as Admiral Farragut, but know
that II any naval officer in a foreign coun-
try had rendered such signal services to
his country as Admiral Schley did to the
United States at Santiago his widow
would not be voted a pension as low as
$50 a month"
