There still remains IN alphabetical
order before these, the cases of the six
delegates at-large from Arizona and of
the Fourth congressional district of
California. They may be taken up
Monday or may 70 over until later.
IT was day of publicity for south
ern Republican organizations, Starting
with the last three districts of Arkan-
sas, the committee went through that
state, Florida and Georgia in which all
the Taft delegates had been contested
by Roosevelt. in every case decision
was reached after all hearings of the
facts in the cases, and In only one in
stance did the Roosevelt leaders ask
for full test of strength.
In the Fifth Arkansas district, where
charges Of violence and fraud were
made by both sides, Committeeman

In 1862, before he was twenty years
Of age. he raised a volunteer company

active military career then beginning

Before very long he was undisputed
leader of the bar in western Pennsyl-

when he became counsel He was for
a time also a director, but he clashed
so often with President Mcleod that
finally he quit. Fortune seemingly al
ways smiled on Baer. The panic of
1873 caused the failure Of the bank
ing firm of Bushong Bros, whose
properties included valuable paper
mills and iron furnaces, which. with
other interests, were valued at from
100000 to $5.0OO.0OO. Baer was
made assignee. After managing the
properties for few years he bought
them in and assumed their obligations.
The venture was hazardous, but its
success SO firmly established him as a
financier and capitalist that soon aft
erward he became confidential adviser
Of j. p. Morgan and the Vanderbilt
family in the state Of Pennsylvania.
Reorganization Of the Philadelphia
and Reading system in 1898 brought
him again into prominence in connec-
