debate on the floor of the convention
and was on the adoption of an amend
ment to the report of the resolution
committee, which had been unanimous
ly in favor of not naming candidate.
Clifford Pinchot, who declared that
he spoke only for himself and in no
way for Colonel Roosevelt, and for
mer Secretary of the Interior Garfield
were the leaders in the debate against
giving any candidate an Endorsement.
Senator Works of California and Sen
ator Clapp of Minnesota were vigorous
in urging that the Ohio progressives
concentrate their efforts in working
for the election of Senator La Fol-
lette
The resolution, which was adopted
and which had been submitted to the
resolutions committee by Pinchot,
Walter l.. Houser and John d. Fack-
Ter, temporary chairman of the Ohio
organization, read as follows:
We are opposed to the denomination
of President Taft. We hereby declare
it to be the determined purpose of the
Ohio Progressive Republican League
to work in harmony and unison tc
nominate a progressive Republican tor
president, recognizing as fellow pro-
gressives all who hold the principles
for which we stand, whether they be
for the presidential nomination Of Rob-
ert M. La Toilette or Theodore ROose-
welt or any other progressive Repub-
lican.
We assert the essential unity Of the
progressive movement throughout the
entire state and nation.
We favor the election of delegates
who will favor the nomination Of
candidate who will fully represent the
progressive principle.
A declaration of principles adopted
unanimously was substantially the one
prepared by a committee appointed
at a meeting of progressives of the
Western Reserve. On the question of
national policies, it followed the lines
of the platform adopted by the pro-
gressive conference in Chicago.

HANKOlV ATTACKED

Fierce Fighting Reported at Gates of
Chinese City-Ioyai Leaders
Delighted.

Picking. Fighting between force
of 1000 revolutionists and the imperial
troops at Hankow was renewed TWEEN
ty miles up the river by the republi
cans who had rot received notice of
the PRONUNCIATION of an armistice.
The fighting, which is reported to
be extremely fierce, continued nearly
all day. An imperialist army of more
than $4,000 occupies Hankow and is
thought here to be amply able to de-
fend it from capture.
The leaders of the imperialists are
delighted at the turn OF affairs dem
onstrated by the latest outbreak. This
they claim will give them the oppor-
tunity of avoiding the result OF the
proposed national convention. which
was to decide the future form Of gov
eminent for China. 1t was the opin-
ion of the imperialists that the con-
yention would vote for a republic. The
position the Republican conferees ia

Word was received by the Manchu
princes here that the Republican de-
egates to the peace conference are
willing to grant regal annuity to the
emperor and his clansmen and will
protect the ancestral tombs and es

1t has just become known that lot

The Stanley committee is particular

the exact plan of purchase, how the
money was paid and how the property
of the Tennessee Coal & Iron COM

can only be made clear by the books
of J. Pierpont Morgan and company,
fiscal agents of the Steel corporation.
1t was planned to summon Mr.. Nor
gan himself. In his absence another
member of the firm will be sub
poenaed and obliged to bring the

Much mystery surrounds this piece
of high finance In the minds OF the
committee The late John w. Gates
told a remarkable story Of how
he was eliminated from control of the
Tennessee company without a dollar
of actual money passing hands and
when the only possible motive OF the
Steel corporation was it's desire to
gobbleup it's rival.
/ Judge Gary, head of the Steel cor
poration, and George w. Perkins,
then connected with Morgan & Co.,
admitted that no money passed hands,
but held that Steel corporations bonds
were exchanged for Tennessee stock,
