Presidents Delegates From
Alabama Seated.
VOTE WAS UNANIMOUS
Delegation at Large Given Right to
Membership in Convention by So to
o-District Contests From Same
State Decided in Like Manner.


Chicago, June S.-President Taft
won the first of the contests for seats
in the Republican national conven
ton, heard by the Republican nation
al committee when, by vote of So to
Ga unanimous decision-the contest
over the Alabama delegates at large,
six in number, was decided in favor of
the Long" (TafD delegation.
In the First Alabama district case
(two votes) the Roosevelt side waived
argument as futile after the decision
on the delegates at large. The Second
district contest, involving two votes
also was decided for Mr. Taft, but in
this case the delegates were given the
right to go before the convention. In
both district contests the decisions
were unanimous. Up to this point ten
Alabama delegates had been awarded
to the president.
Inasmuch as all the Alabama con
tests were supposed to be on the same
general basis the impression grew that
the decisions in the other districts
would follow those In the First and
Second districts.
Yea and Nay Vote Called For.
The first vote was viva voce. Sena.
tor Borah asked for yea and nay
vote, though evidently there were no
negatives. His request was complied
with and confirmed the unanimous
decision.
Before the contests were taken up
the Roosevelt adherents met another
defeat, duplicating that of the previous
day in the tabling of the renewed mo-
tion of Senator Borah of Idaho that
eight members, instead of twenty as
now provided by the rules, should be
a sufficient number to order a record
of the yeas and nays on any PROPOSE
ton.
Although Mr. Borah thus was de.
feated in his attempt at the beginning
of the meeting Taft men joined with
him unanimously when he asked for
1t on the first Alabama case.
The Roosevelt members of the com
mittee, without exception, voted to
seat the so called Long delegates,
who are Taft men and who were
chosen in the state convention of Aug
81, 1911, and reelected in new con
vention March T. 1912.

POLICEMEN SEARCH
FOR DEAD MAN

New Orleans, August 12.-For more
than four hours tonight a squad OF
policemen searched the swamps near
the juncture of the GENTLY and Milne
burg roads, between here and the lake
front, for the body of the victim of an
alleged murder, and four Italians, Tony
and Peter Chiavaro. Carlo Giambelluca

with being suspicious characters. The
search was abandoned at midnight I'M
til tomorrow morning.
The Italians were arrested at Milne
burg where Edward Soulant. sixteen
year old boy living near the scene Of
what may prove a tragedy. pointed
them out to the police. He said he
had heard two shots fired, and had then
seen the men carry an object, covered
with a sack and having the appear
ance of human body, from their auto
mobile into the underground of the
swamp. When searched at the police
station, each Italian was found armed
with a gun, and the revolver of Tony

ARRESTED UNDER
WHITE SLAVE LAW
Two Girls and Two Men
Face Serious Charge
at Mobile

Mobile, August fannie Laurie Lee.
aged Is years; frankie Cowart. aged II
years; Lamar Keller and r. r. Zipperer,
all of Savannah, Ga, we're placed under
arrest here this afternoon, the men on
charge of violating the white slave
traffic law. Owing to the fact that the
arrests were made by city detectives the
cases will have to be called before the
police court before being turned over to
the United States commissioner for d
hearing.
The two couples stopped four days In
Montgomery before coming to Mobile and
were registered at a hotel at Montgom-
cry as man and wife. On their arrival
in Mobile they secured rooms and lived
for one night and day as man and wife,
their arrest coming just "a hours after
their arrival In Mobile.
The two girls refused to go to sleep
in the city prison, saying that they pre-
ferred to stay awake, so that 1t could
not be said that they had slept in a
Jail.
The police officials are of the opinion
that they have an unusually strong case
against Keller, whom they claim pur-
chased the tickets for the two girls from
Savannah to Montgomery. The girls claim
that they gave Keller money to purchase
the tickets.
