MEEK AND Hon lBl Is
IS BEATEN BUNCH
Comprising West Virginia
Delegation But They May
Not Be Good. e

CHICAGO, Ill.,, June 21-
Meek and humble, the West vir-
ginia delegation was ready to fall
into line when the convention met.
No one of the delegates will bolt.
In fact, had it been necessary they
would have begged to be permitted
to stay in the convention. They
talked a lot about boiling, but it
ended in talk. but submissive
though they are, they have not
promised be good and they seem
likely to carry on the fight against
the Taft majority until the last.
Opposition will be made to every
Taft move, but it will be perfume
tory as the Roosevelt people have
concended their utter defeat and
have lost heart.
1t is thought, that not a single Re-
publican out Of the $50 here from
West Virginia will join in Roose,
velt's third party movement. In
fact, they have been steam rolled
most effectively, and in spite of what
was termed the Overwhelming
Roosevelt sentiment in the state, Il
would seem that the colonel viii
have a hard time getting any sup,
port out of the state for his third
party project, If sentiment in ths
state can be measured by the views
of the party members now here.

a
light motto that: cheers ones en-
trance to the Taft headquarters in
the much befagged gold room Of
the Congress- hotel. 1t IS a very in
steresting room to, look at, as rooms
go. The sayiors of the republic,
(Messrs. Mckinley. Penrose, Steven
son, Crane, ct all are not on exhibit
ton here however, which naturally
disappoints the visitor Saving the
republic is such weighty job that
the men working at it are compelled
to stay right by the machinery.
Visitors to the Taft headduG- eers
stand about in awe a moment, look
at the. flags and then ale out, as sol
EMMY as if at funeral. There
really isn't anything else to do.
The Roosevelt headquarters in the
Florentine room looks like a busy
Office in a Wholesale house, except
that it is handsome place. The
room is cut into sections, and at
numerous desks the secretaries work
strenuously. There is plenty OF
glad-handing, no end of tracts to be
gathered up by. those studiously in
clined, and fifty-seven varieties of
Roosevelt badges and buttons
temptlngly displayed.
The corridor outside boils and
seeths. Just below is the hotel
lobby, packed with humanity at all
hours.
There are always many sight
seers in the lobby, out to size up

business was the report Of the Gre
denaals committee, which was pre-
scented by Dovell, of Washington
and it sustained the findings of the
national committee seating TAFT
delegates from the Ninth Alabama
district.
"a minority report favorlng the
Roosevelt contestants was pre-
sented. Hadley asked unanimous
consent for a statement from y. R.
Mccormick, of Illinois, on the NIL
nority report. Root ruled that it
was customary for the minority to
be allowed to present its views and
unanimous consent was given. Nc
Cormick's statement was one of
dissent from the majority report OF
the credentials committee.
Hadley presented a resolution
which would prevent a vote on the
Question of substituting the minority
report for the majority report by
any Of the delegates now under
contest. watson moved to table the
tHadley resolution, and the roll call
was demanded and given by the
states in order.
The Hadley motion was tabled by
500 to 499. Ten not voting,
Watson moved to lay motion to
adopt minority report on table. IT

port adopted without Oll call

- Wesley, OF SCUM UakOLai al tle
some OF the big guns. Senator
Borah, democratic in manner, and
always earnest in spirit, may be
spied talking with two or three
men. Endeavoring to guard its
curious interests by pretending to
look somewhere else, a throng
gathers in the vicinity, eagerly seeSl
ing to catch a stray word which may
revealzthe senator's hopes or fears.
Senator Borah, by the way, is quite
likely to emerge from this contest a
great national figure. In may per-
sonal respects BoEah resembles
William ]. Bryan. 'E
Boies Jenrose, the Pennsylvania
boss, tail, silent, solitary, often
walks about the lobby, musing.
Governor Stubs, of Kansas, bun
bling with confidence and good will
toward men, halls all Corners cordi-
ally, often throwing an arm about
the shoulders of the man he engages
in conversation. Stubs is another
potentiality as a future national
figure.
The coming men and the men who
are passing, the followers of the new
regime in politics and the adherents
of the old-all rub elbows with com.
mon folk who drop in to gaze upon
celebrity. All realize that crisis
is ahead, and the great man can nj
more foretell the result than can the
society dame who poses in peacock
alley.

, ter has enclosed with silver trimmed bars an attractive rest room for women as they almost always accompany their boys when clothing is to be purchased. That space is carpeted with a rug of fine texture while large plate glass mirror has been installed. Comfortable chairs. writing desk and stationery are pro- vided as part of the rest room. The entire window space heretofore unadorned has been converted in sectional mirrors of polished plate glass. All the trimmings are of oak. The second floor has been provided with 300 feet of specially designed show cases. The rear of the floor where formerly there was nothing except the plastered places has been converted into plate glass mirrors. In fact the entire situation Is similar to crystal hall In the automobile department Mir. Porter has installed everything required by autoists, including high priced rugs equipped with muffs for feet and hands which are now here, it is said.
 MT. Porter is pardonably proud of the work of renovation that has been done. He says that Birmingham cannot get ahead of him in progressiveness. He came here from Augusta several years ago and said yesterday that not for one moment has his faith in Birmingham wavered.

GARY PLEASEDBY SPIRIT OF OPTIMISM Nothing Given Out on Rod
 Mill Situation TO MOVE CAUTIOUSLY Birmingham People in New York Said to Be Enthusiastic Over Good
 Feelings of Iron and
 Steel Men
TO MOVE CAUTIOUSLY

The New York papers contain short Interviews with Judge F. H. Gary, chair man of the United States Steel corpora tion, who returned from Europe Thurs day, in which he spoke of highly pros porous business conditions on the other side of the Atlantic.
 A month ago 1t was said to have been the opinion of some of the northern of ficials of the American Steel and Wire company, a subsidiary of the Steel cor poration, that the work of installing machinery at the wire mill here would begin this fall-probably October l. but that nothing would be determined In that line until Judge Gary returned.
 Information received in Birmin gham is to the effect that completion of the wire mill Is seriously contemplated and that perhaps. other work Is in view, However, no information was to be obtained from headquarters in New York, and it may be several weeks be- fore anything is decided upon. There is said to be a feeling of optimism among the Birmingham people in New York who are enthusiastic over the good feelings of the iron and steel peo- pie.

.L.,l. l.&L. FINISH
 REPAIR WORK Extensive Changes Have Required Three Months MORE ROOM IS GIVEN New Arrangements Also Allow Much More Light-Mahogany Fixtures Installed on the Fashion
 Floor"
MORE ROOM IS GIVEN

The extensive repairs that have been going on in the Loveman, Joseph & Loeb department store since last June have just been finished and the mammoth em- porium from the third floor down pre- sents an entirely renovated appearance.
 The huge show windows have had hard wood floors put in and the back fixtures were painted and vanished. This was at considerable expense and was done with out interfering materially with the adver- Using in the windows. Into the store proper on the main floor the shoe depart ment which previously had been on the office floor is at present at the front of the store, on the main floor Where the shoe department had been was torn down. thus providing more daylight for the main floor. The aisles on the main floor are wider and, in fact the whole scheme on the main floor is perfect in the latest improvements of department store economies and light In any corner of the .main floor daylight may be found. An other important improvement was the moving of the book department from the front of the store to the rear, where peo- pie can examine the books at leisure without the annoyance of the rush and hustle which are to be found near the entrance. Silks and dress goods after % years on the main floor were moved to the second floor without suffering any loss of trade.
 Further changes on the main floor in- cluded moving the hosiery department op- posite the shoe department, as buyers of one are generally buyers of the other, and it was found to be economical to have both departments as near each other as possible.
 On the second floor handsome new ma hogany fixtures are everywhere in evi- dence, and the place presents a fresh, floor and truly looks it, as it seems that everything that the eye feminine could desire in the way of dress and hats is there. The manager of the establishment stated that three-quarters of their busi- ness was transacted on the second and third floors, and that these floors had been especially repaired to suit the most fastidious. These repairs have gone on without interfering with the function of the store for the last three months, and now at their completion they leave Love- man, Joseph x Loeb with store spick and span in cleanliness, light and airy and with ample room for the multtude of shoppers to mngle in their shopping without unnecessary crowding.

REMARKABLE RELICS
 TAKEN FROM TIE SEA
Doubts Any Great Advance in Dog Language.
 Comic Election
By THOMAS EMMETT

Dublin, September 2S.-(Special )-Dur- ing the past three weeks a remarkable collection of relics has been recovered in the course of the hunt for the Span ish treasures, supposed to be at the bot tom of the sea at Tobermory From the Armada wreck the treasure hunters have secured among other things large quanti- ties of African oak, cannon balls of stone and iron, broken pottery and wine flagons, encrusted cutlasses, daggers, swords and muskets, lead, copper and pieces of eight Metal plate, showing the same emboss- ments as specimens found last May, have been discovered in comparative abun- dance. Among the more peculiar finds were several feet of copper wire cable, a graduated brass bar supposed to be a tangent used for sighting purposes on a big gum a hollow shell containing a re- markedly light and soft metal, three ex- quistely shaped teeth firmly fixed in q mans jawbone, and the almost complete skeleton of a boy of about IA years of age,
 Professor R. J. Anderson of Univer- sity college, Galway, who dealt with the so-called speech in lower animals at the meeting of the Geological section at the British Association at Dundee, says the "early training of dogs, horses and other animals go far to obliterate e any tendency to marked development of original lines of thought" It is to be doubted. he says whether any great advance could be made in the develop ment of a dog language"
 Close on two hours amusement was afforded to large body of the gen eral public by the Waterford Public Health Insurance committee. The com- mittee met especially to elect secre- tary, and IS members attended includ- ing the mayor who presided. There were eight candidates for the position, and all sent in numbers of testimonials inc whole of which were read After several polls only three candidates re- mained. On further poll each of the three secured six votes and the chair .s.an refused to give a casting vote. Then it was agreed to exhaust the list by polling on two candidates, the win ner. being ultimately opposed by the third man, and so on, but after two candidates secured nine votes each, while the third candidate beat one of them, and was beaten by the other. Eventually it was decided to adjourn the election and the commission is still without a secretary.
