Chicago, June 19.--The Roosevelt
forces met their second defeat in the
national convention, today, in a sos
sion which had for its outstanding
feature a remarkable demonstration
OF nearly an hours duration in honor
of Col, Roosevelt and GOV. Herbert
s. Hadley of Missouri. The Mis-
souri, executive led the fight on the
convention floor, today, to oust 92
contested Taft delegates and to put
as many Roosevelt men in their
places. The convention fatty re-
fused to entertain the motion by a
vote of 564 to $40. This transfer
red the fight to the committee on
credentials, appointed just before the
convention adjourned until tomor-
row noon.
All the Roosevelt delegates joined
in the Hadley demonstration while
some of the Taft states lent voice
The ovation to the Missouri execu-
tive was quickly interpreted by
many of the delegates as possible
forerunner of bolt for Hadley for
president. One enthusiastic Penn
sylvanian jumped to the stage and
called Three cheers for Hadley, the
next president of the United States.
Soon after this incident pretty
young woman in white in the gal
lery suddenly stood up and waved a
lithograph of Col Roosevelt She
stood waving the picture In one hand
and handkerchief in the other
Finally she dropped the picture but

Root Quotes Precedent.

Senator Root quoted the prece-
dents of the national House of Rep
resentatives. 'If this contention
was upheld" he added, "enough
seats could be contested so that there
would be no delegates to do bust
ness"

made no further move
The ruling was received with ap~
plause from the Taft faction. The
result of the vote was then officially
announced

Hadley resolution was referred to

The sergeant-at-arms stopped this.
But Mrs. Davis from the press stand

so as to provide that no contested

Deneen's motion.
"No, no." shouted some of the
delegates while the gallery hissed.
"The motion is not debatable, arc

Chairman Root.
Chairman Root said he understood
the Deneen motion to mean that
none Of the delegates mentioned in
the Hadley motion could vote on the
contested seats.

sengers set out on the last stage OF
their journey In royal spirits. Six
troopers saw them safe across the Rio
Grande, and dismissed them with wav-
ing of hats and urgent requests to be
back in time for the deciding ball
game The group of friendly horse
men faded into spectres and then
blended with the night dark stretch
es of shadowy chaparral advanced its
gloom in contest with the bright rays
of the moon-and the boys, bearing
missives whose vast Importance they
had never known till that same day,
rode onward through the dusk.
Perhaps ten miles from the river,
they encountered a slight rise in the
road. and walked their horses slowly
up the grade. Suddenly. as the moon
rays fell upon the summit of the in
cline. a solitary horseman loomed up,
huge and menacing in the shadows.
Silent. grim and somber, he sat his
horse five hundred feet beyond, and
seemed to patiently await their COM
ing.
81 don't like the looks of that fel
low" whispered Brockett as they
neared the silent figure.
He doesn't look specially good 10
me- either" replied Solano. Still,
there are two of us, and there's only
one of him-no, I'm mistaken. He is
distinctly plural"
Three other mounted figures ranged
I'M beside the first one, all equally
grim and menacing in the moonlight
Rrockett half turned his horses head.
Too late for a retreat-five more OF
tba silent horsemen were slowly walk
ing their mounts from the direction Of
the river. For one moment the mes
seneers halted, irresolute, and then
moved forward towards the watchers
ar the summit of the hill. Perhaps 200
foot further on, they came upon a
cross.road-a mere thread Of a trail
breaking forth from dense under
Growth and midnight jungle. Instant
Iv Brockett wheeled and plunged into
the new-found trail, while Solano fol
lowed They drove their horses to a
gallon and as they started on the
dash for safety the silent horsemen,
both before and behind the fugitives,
came charging after. They gave no
crv. they voiced no shout or threat,
but the clatter of the hoofs and the
changing of accouterments made wild
discord on the evening air. Down the
trail, straining every nerve
TO increase their horses speed, fed
the messengers and. fast closing up
the distance, the nine pursuing riders
sped along behind.
