thusiasm of the Cummins men SO
NAT 1T will have the greatest possible
effect.
Numerous conferences marked. the
morning in the several headquarters
The Taft forces were IN jovial
spirits today following their victori-
u fight in the national committee
yesterday. which resulted In seating
the contested delegates in Indiana for
the President. Only optimistic views
of the results of future contests were
heard among the Taft forces.
May Hold Night Sessions.
Roosevelt's camp welcomed the COM
ing of Governor Hadley. AS one OF
the original seven governors who
urged the former President to make
the race. and one whose name has
been mentioned frequently as a os-
sible running mate of Roosevelt. his
counsel was in demand.
Supporters of Roosevelt held a con-
ference last. night which lasted into
the early hours of this morning. But
what was discussed none of the con-
ferees would tell. Senator Borah and
other national committeeman who
yesterday voted to seat Taft dele
gates In Indiana participated In the
meeting.
Apart from the routine fighting
over contested delegates, the sftua.
ton here today is so complicated
that even old campaigners among the
politicians are willing to admit tina
they cannot guess what will be the
outcome of the Taft-Rooseveli
struggle.
Colonel Roosevelt's action in thun-
dering forth another warning tnai
he plans to bolt if the Republican
national convention tails to nominate
him for a third term has stirred re-
newed talk of a compromise candi-
date to prevent revolt in the Repub-

tains declare they will not holt
Taft chiefs are also reported to be
discussing a third candidate, for the
purpose of keeping the Republican
party together.
Senator Cummins, of Iowa. has
been mentioned as this compromise
candidate. 1t also has been stated
that the Taft leaders, eager to keep
the Progressives in the party If the
President is nominated, plan to give
Senator Cummins the nomination as
vice-president and shelve Vice-Pres-
ident Sherman. Some of the Taft
supporters, however, are determined
to have Sherman as the Presidents
running mate.

MAKES SCHOOLGIRLS
SWAP THEIR HOSIERY

ATLANTIC CITY, June 11.-Severa,
pretty girl members of the graduating
class of the High school created a sensa-
ton yesterday by appearing in classes
with one leg covered with a black silk
stocking, while the other was covered
with white. 1t was done to advertise a
minstrel show to be given by their fra
ternity.
Professor Miller, the principal, noticed
considerable agitation, and 1t did not take
him long to learn the cause. He directed
the young ladies to go into an adjoining
classroom, in company with one of the
women teachers, and there they had to
change about until each pair of legs was
CARRIED in colors that matched.
Later Superintendent Boyer made an in
spection and was shown just enough
hose above the shoe tops to be convinced
that the proper exchange had been made.

SPANKING MINISTER
CURES RUNAWAY GIRL

WOODBURY., June 11.-Mrs. Joseph
jackson has discovered the best way
to cure her 9-year-old daughter OF
running away from home is to have
the minister spank her. Mrs. jack
son has just applied the remedy and
asserts 1t works like a charm.
Margaret ran away a few days ago
and got as far as Woodstown after
stealing a ride on a passenger train.
She was shipped" back by trainmen,
who finally got Rev. j. c.. Stock into
the case. He asked permission to
spank the girl and 1t was freely &C.
corded by the mother. Margaret said
it was such a whipping as she never
had before.

Former United States Senator
James A. Hemenway addressed the
committee briefly on the delegates-at-
large situation and Merrill Moores, Of
Indianapolis, who has frequently rep
resented the Republican State COM
mittee in legal affairs. presented the
evidence and made an argument.
Then came the rea surprise of the
meeting. When a roll-call was or
dered the Roosevelt members voted
with the Taft members to seat the
Taft men. Frank B. Kellogg and
Senator Borah explained their votes.
Kellogg said that while he al not
convinced no fraud had been com
mitted no specific charge of fraud
had been sustained by the evidence
presented. Borah's reasons for voting
with the Taft faction were similar.
About headquarters today the wig
ilante" committees of both factions
were busy. William Finn, of Pitts
burg, who heralded his entrance into
the fray Saturday by giving out a lot
of singing interviews directed at
various members of the Taft general
headquarters staff, had little to say
today. When he desired to be con-
fidential he whispered that T. r.
would win. Films was busy, however.
He opened the headquarters of his
committee in a new suite of rooms in
the Congress Hotel and laid his plans
for buttonholing delegates as they
came in.

The fight for delegates has been
made a personal one on both sides

Life Without Microbes.

Tho oft-debated question as to
whether there can be life without MI
crobes is held to have been solved by
M, Michel Cohendy of the Pasteur In
stitute Of Paris, who has reared live
chickens in an enclosed space which
was quite free from microbes. By the
use Of an ingenious apparatus for
Matching the chickens and then rails
ing them for q certain time, he was
able to produce animals which did not
contain any microbes, and they were
able to live, and appeared to be as
healthy as usual. His apparatus
served in the first place as an incu-
bator for Matching the eggs and then
as a chamber where the chickens are
able to live as long as may be de-
sired. M. Cohendy kept the chickens
in his apparatus for 45 days. and the
contents OF their digestive organs,
blood and so on, were found to be free
from microbes. Those that were kept
alive did not seem to suffer at all from
being transferred to the germ-laden
atmosphere, for they grew up success
fully.

BIRD THAT KEEPS A SLAVE
Friuate-BIrd Forces the Booby-Blrd
to supply Fish for He
Dinner.

The booby-bird never leaves the
broad seas, where his harsh cry 10
heard from the Hebrides to the
'Faroes and from the cliffs Of Scot
land to the coast of Norway. He re-
vels in the storms and screams above
the roar Of the sea. The BOBBY has
green feet, yellow eyes, and defiant
head covered with yellow cap. Each
Of it's wings Is three feet long and its
beak is so stiff and so strong that
It fears no enemy but the frigatebird.
The frigate-bird is the terror Of the
birds Of the sea, though he ignores
all but the BOBBY. Owing to the
breadth Of his wings, the frigate can
not fish; he Is forced to remain In
the air. But as he cannot get fish
in the air, and as he requires fish
for his nourishnnent, he presses the
BOBBY into his service. When hungry
he swoops down upon the BOBBY and
gives 1t q vigorous thrust in its throat.
Then the booby's mouth opens and
the fish caught in 1t drops out The
frigate has only to give one peck at
the booby's throat to get his dinner.
It happens occasionally that the
BOBBY attacked by the frigate has
nothing in it's mouth. When the fri
gate pecks in vain, he belabors his
slave with his beak and drives him,
bruised and terrified, into the sea to
catch fish.

Machine to Write Music,

A German musician has invented
a machine which, he states, automatic
ally registers the notes emitted by
the piano. The new machine has the
same object as one invented by an
Italian and used by Mascagni in writ
ing his operas, but 1t is a larger in
strument and is operated by cleo
tricity. Into the machine is inserted
a roll of paper, and the composer
seats himself before the piano and
executes the composition that he de-
sires to give to the public. The ma
chine faithfully registers every note
produced, SO that the musician does
not have to depend upon his memory.

POWERS SAY DRUM MUST GO
VIII BE Cut Out as Necessary Article
Of Military Equipment by
European Nations.

II was some time ago that, acting
upon the recommendations embodied
In q report by a military commission,
the French government reached the
conclusion that the drum was no long
er a necessary article of military
equipment. The report set forth that
the drum was serious incumbrance
in marching; that rain impaired it's
usefulness; that Its calls could not be
distinguished in time of battle; that
It consumed a period Of two years to
turn out an efficient drummer. and
that by abandoning the use of the
drum many thousands OF youths and
men would be released for active
service.
Since the decision of the French
government other European powers
have followed its example in decree
ing that the drum must 60"
The history Of the drum is both an
cient and honorable. The Egyptians
employed 1t, and the Greeks ascribed
its invention to Bacchus. The Spanish
conqueror Pizarro is said to have
found drums in South America tenn

told, fed from the Emerald isle be.

No. Really Naval Stores.

~ The terming of turpentine, tar,
pitch and rosin as naval stores Is q
misnomer. 1t originated many years
ago, when tar and pitch first were
used to coat the bottoms Of vessels to
make them watertight and to cover
the rigging of ships to preserve It
from the action Of the weather. All
ships carried always a supply OF tar
among their stores, and hence the
original of the term naval stores" It
was used only by ship builders and
ship owners and others who had to do
directly with shipping. and was a nau-
ticaI term only. Then, when the prod
ucts Of the gum Of the long-leaf pine
came into general commercial impor-
tance, the term was accepted as a fit
ting one for all articles Of commerce
manufactured from that substance,
and. is maintained to this day, al
though the uses that created it have
little to do with the interests Of the
trade.
