CHICAGO, June 12.-Grinding
its way steadily along the flatten-
cd forms of Roosevelt confess
tants, the Taft steam roller here
today mashed flat the two RoOse-
welt delegates elected from the
fourth district of California who
were elected by a majority of
more than 10000 in the state
wide primary, and seated i'm their
stead two Taft delegates from
the district, who had a local ma
jority of about $50 votes.
The vote by the national COM
mittee followed almost exactly
the lines of usual division be-
tween Taft and Roosevelt adher-
ents on the committee, 1t being
81 to 16. The decision was
reached In the face of a furious
denunciation by Francis j. Heney
of San Francisco, who shouted
that he was there to warn Presi-
dent Taft that in accepting those
delegates he was a receiver OF
stolen goods.
F. G. Bryan, law partner of
General Charles Dick, President
Taft's contest manager, argued
for Taft. Heney spoke for the
Roosevelt delegates, who were
Charles S. Wheeler and Philip
Bancroft.
Heney on the Floor.
At the outset Heney denounc-
ed the claim of the Taft people
as ridiculous, and designed to
rob the people of representation
In order that he might be eilg-
ible to argue the case, Heney sur
rendered his committeeman. g
proxy to Thorson of South Da-
kota.
In advancing the claim of the
Taft delegates, Bryan said:
THE call for the republican
convention contains the follow
ing clause:
"It is provided that delegates
and alternates from the state at
learge and for each congressional
district may be elected in con-
ioTIuty Will Tic law Oh the state
in which the election Is held, IL
the state committee or any such
congressional committee so di-
reefs The section closes with
the following provision:
mBut it is provided further
that in no state shall an election
be held SO as to prevent dele
gates from any congressional dis
trict and their alternates from
being selected by the republican
electors in that district,
despite The. fact that the Taft
ticket received the majority of
votes in the fourth district, the
secretary of state of California
ignored the rule of the national
committee and issued certificates
to the 20 Roosevelt delegates
who received a majority OF the
votes from the state at large.
The republican electors from
the fourth California district
having cast majority for Taft
delegates, are entitled to seats in

When Bryan had finished,
Senator Penrose asked II he
knew that the California legisIa-
ture had "flagrantly and deliber-
ately violated the law by forcing
through the California primary
law under the lash Of Governor
Johnson"
#. j. Heney was on his feet In
an instant, flushed with anger.
II object" he said, ITO my
state being insulted by Senator
Penrose or anyone else.. 1 WON'T.
silently permit anyone to libel
Governor Johnson"
Chairman Rosewater pounded
on the table for order but Borah
insisted upon asking IL It were
not fact that the Taft people
intended to disfranchise the
voters of California.
In reply to this, Bryan said:
This committee has been In
suited by the governor of a SOW
ereign state, who ran the risk
of having the entire state delega-
ton unseated by forcing through
an unfair law"
81 would like to say" broke
I'm Borah, ''that this committee,
by its action of the Last half
hour, disinfranchised the voters
of Arizona by seating delegates
at large who were never legally
elected" 100
In opening his argument,
Heney turned until he faced SEN
ator Crane Of Massachusetts, and
said: s.....
eve do not recognize the right
OF anyone to dictate how Cali
fornia shall elect its delegates
to the national convention. +
want to warn you that Califor-
MIA will never give an electoral
vote to any candidate who is re-
ceiving stolen goods and that IL

II decline to appear before

to the people of California for
me to appear before q committee
which obsequiously receives Pat

even listens to o contest by Cali
houn designed to override the
majority Of 77.Q0O California re-
publicans and that prejudiced the
contest. You may read this note
IL you choose, as an explanation
of my position"
The reading of Governor John
sons letter was like bomb
thrown into tee committee room.
A dozen. Taft supporters, includ-
ing Senators Crane and Penrose,
jumped to their feet. Heney,
however, had closed, and left the
room.

Brongholf was one of the most

had everything that goes to make
a good clerk, speed, cleverness,
adaptability, genial disposition
but lacked just one thing-moral

AMERICAN CORN.

In Its Sturdy visor II ls Represents.
tive Of Our People.
Indian corn is a native of America.
The Indians cultivated it when the
white man first came. and their legends
carried it back to Manitou, or Great
Spirit. from whom it came as his
choicest gift to man. says the Wash
jngton Post. Without it the earlier
settlements would have persisted.
1t grows in all parts of the United
States and in its every stage presents
varied charms and attractions, more
alluring to the eye than waving fields
OF wheat or rice. the white cotton or
the splendid sugar cane. with which it
vies in stateliness and outranks in its
gorgeous and changeful hues Of green.
One-third of the human family lives
on rice, but 1t is not the third that
counts. The date palm is everything
to the desert dweller. So is corn to
the American. although often Indirect
~. He eats 1t on the cob and of.
makes Of it innumerable kinds of food
and turns it into hogs and cattle.
In its sturdy vigor Indian corn is
representative of the people. 1t strikes
its tap root deep into the earth, while
the lateral roots reach out in every di-
rection. 1t droops under the long
drouth. but given two or three rains
toward caring time it yields harvest
that puts the gloomy prophets to
shame.

THE BRITISH MUSEUM.

Care With Which 1t Is Guarded From
Fire and Thieves.
1t is very doubtful whether the Brit
ish museum could ever be burned
down. 1t is more likely to be swamped
first. There is enough water stored
there in tanks to last for many days
continuous pumping in case by any
chance the ordinary supply gave out.
Every policeman on the premises.
too, is also fireman. being especially
trained before he takes up his duties.
There is not nook or corner in the
remotest part of the building which
could not be deluged in two minutes
if necessity arose.
Not only is there little chance of the
museum itself being burned down, but
also any building near it. for that mat
ter. for the museum looks after them.
too, hardly less carefully.
Thieves have just about as much
chance as fire has. Immediately after
closing every gallery and every room
in the building is gone through, search
ed and locked up. and then the whole
process is repeated again an hour lat
er, this precaution being directed
against fire rather than thieves.
1t is full hours hard work merely
to lock or unlock all the doors in the
buflding.-Pearson's Weekly.
