Coliseum, Chicago. June 15.-The situation here, late this afternoon, may be 1ikened to the situation at Port Arthur on the, eve of the as- sault of the Japanese.
 The Taft paftisans are inside the Notifications, thanks to the decisions of the national committeeman.
 They have prepared themselves as best they can to meet and withstand the assault of the Roosevelt forces which will be launched. This after noon, both sides cleared for action. There was an ominous Hull about both headquarters and a let up in the bluffing which has characterized the action of both contestants.
 Even his opponents conceded Roosevelt's ability as a fighter and a tactician and it was generally recog- nized that there will be few lulls in the action between now and the final clash on next Tuesday. No quarter is asked or expected by either side. The fight is to the finish and talk of compromise has gone by the board at this hour. ~
 The problem of the Taft managers is to hold what they have. The Roosevelt problem is to get w11aa they can.
 Chicago, June 15.-After the most violent and bitter fight of the ses- sion, the national committee. today. took the eight Texas delegates-at- large from the Roosevelt column and awarded them to Taft, this in the face of an admission by Judge Bryan, one of the Taft contest managers, that the Roosevelt organization in Texas is the regular and Ieoal one.
 All the evidence went to show that the Roosevelt men controlled the state convention overwhelming and regularly elected Roosevelt delegates at-large.
 The Taft men, however, argued that the election laws of Texas were wrong. in that they permitted coun- ties with only few Republicans to have equal representation with large counties. Therefore. they asked that the. Taft delegafes-at-largc naiIaed by a minority Of the. large counties be seated. The commtttee took the Taft view of the contest.
 The Roosevelt contention in the first Texas district contest was that the Taft convention was composed of a few federal officeholders and was Illegal. The Taft people replied that the Roosevelt convention had not Complied with the terms. of the na- tional committee call.
 The National committee, by a viva voce vote. seated the Taft delegates in the first district of Texas. They are Phil E. Baer and R. B. Harrison.
 The committee by a viva voce vote, seated George W. Eason and c. l.. Rutt, Taft delegates in the 2nd dis trict of Texas. The Taft claim was that the Roosevelt delegates were elected in a boiling convention
 The national committee seated F. N. Hopkins and J. L.. Jackson, Roose- welt delegates, in the 3rd Texas dis trict. The Taft people offered little Or no evidence to disprove the Roose- welt claims of regularity.
 Both sides claimed regularity and legality in the 4th district Texas con- test. The committee, by a viva voce vote seated the Taft delegates who are A. l.. Dyer and M o. Sharp. The

Chicago. June 15.-With their cam didate nearing Chicago. the Roose- welt forces, today, completed their arrangement for the pre7convention battle with the present action of the platform upon which, if nominated he will make his appeal to the country. While the rough, draft is subject to the revision of the chief himself it's present action was regarded as the most important convention develop ment of the forenoon and to be only eclipsed in the view of the Roosevelt men by the coming of the candidate.
 Roosevelt says frankly that. the platform must fit the candidate and that it must suit him or he will not accept it. should he be named. Among those who were in the platform con- ferences were Clifford P1nchot, James R. Garfield. Representative William, Kent of California, Representative Lenroot and Governor Francis E.. Mo- | Govern of Wisconsin. Medill McCor- mick. Governor Hiram Johnson of California, George l.. Record of New Jersey and Senator Borah of Idaho.
 The tentative draft of the platform covers the following points:
 IA declaration that the present struggle is one to return the gov ernment into the hands of the people.
 IA declaration in general terms strongly favoring popular govern ment through such instrumentalities as preferential primaries, initiative, referendum and recall Including the recall of judges, but leaving to every local community the selection of remedies according to it's local needs and deslres.-.
 1LA declaration in favor of the control of trusts by means of a fed- er1l agency. something like the bu- reau of corporations. with powers en- 1arged to enable it to insist on pub iicity and then. wipe out practices by witch trusts hove exerted evil effects U@cA n monopoly of prices or terri t<G y,s predatof .competiticn. stock. wap-. togt6g. interlocking directorates, etc. h this, the platform reflects the Recommendations made by Roosevelt wh1n he Yas President. !.

THICK PENCILS A "CURE"
FOR CRAMPING IN WRITING

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 27.-Children' s
writing classes in all Milwaukee public
schools are today being equipped with
lead pencils twice the diameter of the
ordinary ones,
The change is an experiment on the
theory Of Superintendent Carroll
Pearse, former head OF the National
Education association, that the small
modern pencil forces the pupil to
pinch" thus acquiring a cramped
style of writing
our experiments have shown aston
ishing results" said Superintendent
Pearse. We shall take immediate
steps to furnish the large pencils TO all
writing classes"
