Chicago, June 12.-The republican
national convention today voted y
seat the two California delegates in
the national convention from the
Fourth California district, the only
contest from that state. This action
followed a running fire opened on
the committee by Francis J. Heney,
and a singing statement from Gov
ernor johnson in the interests Of
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Heney, seated in the national
committee with a proxy, assailed
members of the committee, emphasize
ing particularly Senator Murray
Crane of Massachusetts, whom he adj
dressed as man who had mo re-
spectabiIity to lose" While Chairman
Rosewater was admonishing the San
Franciscan to address the committee
properly, Governor Johnson arrived
at the Coliseum.
He declined to appear before the
committee and issued written state
ment which Mr.. Heney later read to
the committee. In this, Governor
johnson declared he declined to sub
NIT 'to trial to the title of property
by the thief who steals it."
After the committee had voted the
Roosevelt faction down, Senator
Borah in a vigorous speech declared
the committee was making 1t i'm
possible for a republican to preside
over the nation for the next four
years."
During the roll call a bitter at
tack on Mr.. Heney was made by
Committeeman Shackleford of Alas
ka, who voted for the Taft delegates.
He declared that Alaska had been
robbed" by the "Noyes machine of
Minnesota" and that Francis j..
Heney was its chief counsel.
"This gentleman" said Mr.. Shack
leford, came into this committee on
a proxy and his first yell was about
graft rule in San Francisco; came
here as referee and an impartial
Judge. have seen the attempt of
certain members to drive this COM
mittee to do what they want it to do.
I. for one, refuse to be intimidated
or be driven from doing what l think
is right"
James A. Tawney declared that
any action by the committee which
would recognize the states instead of
the district would establish preced-
ent which would overthrow republl-
can principles.
To dispose of the Arizona and
California cases, set for today,
and the Louisiana eases, next
on the list of states. the republican
national committee set it's meeting for
9 o'clock today with the prospect of
an all-dayl and long night session.
The California case, in view of the
statements made Monday by former
Senator Dick, the Taft contest attor-
ney, proposed to bring the title to the
whole state delegation into question,
owing to an alleged conflict between
the California state primary law and
the official call of the republican ma
tional committee issued last Decem'

FINGER EXPERTS PRESENT
THEY ARE EXAMINING rns
BLOODY EVIDENCE LEFT
BEHIND.
KILLER WAS NOT A MANIAC
1T is BELIEVED HE WAS A COOL,
CALCULATING SEEKER
FOR REVENGE.

! Villisca, Iowa, June I'm. W. Nc
Claughrey, Bertillon expert of the
federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan
sas, who was called here to make rec
ords of the bloody finger prints left
by the murderer of the Moore fam
lily and their guests last Sunday
night, is in Omaha in consultation with
Chief of Police Donahue. His plan
is to conduct, with the aid of a detail
of Omaha detectives, an independent
and thorough investigation of the
affair. :.
McClaughrey is convinced \ that
some one familiar wiull the Moore
family and house committed the mur-
der. He takes little stock in theories
which attempt to link the tragedy
with similar crimes in Kansas and
Colorado.
THE man who did that knew the
family, knew their haDlls and the ar
rangements OF the house" said Nc
Claughrey Everything shows that
he first murdered the two Sullinger
girls downstairs and then went up
and killed the Moore FAMILY on the
second floor. No one not familiar
with the house coulo have done that
work without awakening someone,
especially the Stillinger girls, who
were stopping in strange apart
apartment"
The murder was not the work of a
maniac, according to McClaughrey S
belief, but rather OF scheming, re-
vengeful murderer. So far as the
public is aware, not single clew has
been found as to the identity or pres
ent whereabouts of the murderer. A
reward of $500 has been offered by
the state and one of $500 by Mont
gomeery county for the apprehension
of the assassin.
Early today residents of the county
by hundreds began coming in to Vii
lisca to be present at the funeral this
afternoon of the victims of the trag'
edy who were widely known. The
funeral is to be held at 5 o'clock in a
public park. 1t is expected the at
tendance will be from 5000 to TO-
OOO
A third fingerprint expert arrived
here today. 1t is said he will take i'm
pressions of the fingertips of the
dead, the suggestion having been
made that some of the prints found
in different parts of the house might
have been made by one of the vic
Tins.
The authorities began to drag the
Nodaway river near the spot where
the bloodhounds three times yester.
day lost the trail they had followed
from the scene of the murder. The
theory is that the murderer may have
been drowned either by his own IN.
tent after the commission of the
crime, or by accident in attempting
to cover his trail by wading in the
water. There are many deep holes
in the river near here where man
unable to swim might easily meet
death.

Browne, this is terrible. You do the

This, testified Detective Samuel-L
Browne of the district attorneys Of
fees, was what Clarence s. Darrow
said to him shortly after the arrest
of Bert H. Franklin for the bribery
of George N. Lockpood, the charge up
on which Darrow is on trial.
c. E. White testified today at the
trial Of Clarence S. Darrow that tho
district attorney had promised he
would not be prosecuted for his part
in the alleged bribery. of George N.
Lockwood, if he took the stand and
told true story" Of what had oc-
CURED. Whites examination was
concluded is minutes after court sat,
and Samuel L. Browne. chief of de-
tectives OF the district attorneys staff
was the next witness called BY the
prosecution.
Browne told in detail Of the trap ar
ranged by the district attorney and
himself to catch Franklin, with the
assistance of Lockwood. Twice Browne
and his sleuths visited Lockwood's
home, expecting to entrap Franklin
in the act of passing bribe money to
the prospective juror, said the wit
ness. On the last visit to the farm
house, Browne testified he concealed
two of his men in the hay NOW of
the barn and another on top of the
water tank. Browne and another
man hid on the porch of the house.
Each of the detectives said Browne
was enabled to hear parts Of the con-
versation between Franklin and Lock
wood as the latter led the Mcnamara
detective about the yard in the dark.
Tn witness testified that he and Lock
wood had agreed that the latter light
match if Franklin passed the money
to him.
Attorney Appel, of the defense took
occasion to direct bitter denuncia-
ton of the district attorney during the
examination. EIe declared that Fred
ericks was trying to justify palpable
"frameup" and induce the commission
of crime in order to further his own
interests.
Browne, after relating grapyhlcai'y
the passage of the alleged bribe mon
ey to Lockwood, which he witnessed
from rooming house window. and /,
the subsequent springing of the trap
on Franklin, said that Darrew ac-
costed him while the detective was
on his way to the district attorneys
office.
'Darrow said to me-" testified
Browne, my God, Browne, what is
thisg said bribery Can nothing
be done?'
81 told him he ought to have had
better sense than to hire a man like
Franklin; that Franklin was drunk
all the time.
Il told Mr.. Darrow that there was
nothing he could do except see Cap
tain Fredericks.
Then he said, if had known any
thing like this would happen, | new
er would have allowed it to be done
when he left he said you do the
best you can for us and I'll take care
of you.'"

WILL VOTE FOR THE COLONEL
IF TAFT is NOMINATED THEIR
ELECTORS WILL NOT
HESITATE
THEY HAVE The LEGAL RIGHT
THEY SAY ELECTORS HAVE RIGHT
TO BALLOT FOR WHOM THEY
PLEASE

Chicago, June 12.-Recourse to
Roosevelt men who have been select.
ed as presidential electors in different
states is the announced plan of Will
liam Finn of Pittsburgh, should the
convention nominate President Taft.
The Roosevelt leader made this state
men today in a Vigorous attack on the
national committee in which he de-
clared that such a movement, while it
might defeat the republican nominee
for president, would save the party in
the big republican states.
His position was endorsed by Gov
ernor w. e. Glasscoclx of West Virgil
mia, who declared that all the West
Virginia republican electors are for
Roosevelt, and would vote for him in
the electoral college regardless of the
action of the convention.
Senator Dixon listened to Mr., Finn
and Governor Glasscock and said:
Il don't think there will be any
need for such action. You hear what
they say. In my opinion Colonel
Roosevelt will surely be nominated.
The Taft forces will not dare to steal
the nomination"
Mr.. Finn and Governor Glasscock
said the state conventions in Pennsyl-
,ania and West Virginia had not been
adjourned and would be re-convened
if necessary and the electors given
positive instructions to vote for Colo
mel Roosevelt if the circumstances
warranted.
1--WE are not going to allow the ma
tional committee to destroy the re-
publican party in Pennsylvania" said
Mr.. Finn. I'VE don't intend to stand
idly by and lose ten or Is congressman
and the legislature. We propose to
protect ourselves at home.
Thirty of the SS presidential cleo
tors are for Roosevelt and if they
are elected and the nomination is sto-
len and given to President Taft those
30 will vote in the electoral college
for Colonel Roosevelt.
I'VE don't propose to allow dele
gates from the southern states and the
insular possessions to dictate a presi-
dential nominotion to the great re-
publican states. The time has come
when political rebellion is necessary to
safe protection of the republican
states. Under this plan no bolt will
be necessary. 1t would result, per-
haps in losing a republican president
but would win locally.
81 have talked with Roosevelt men
in Pennsylvania and they agree with
me that it is necessary if Taft is nom
mated to carry the fight to the cleo
toral college. In our state the entire
list Of presidential electors is for Col
onel Roosevelt and'will vote for him" /"
said Governor Glasscock, there is
no law to prevent it. The people
vote for the electors and not for the
president. If the nomination is stolen
for President Taft you can say that
West virginia's electoral vote will
be for Theodore Roosevelt. / agree
with Mr.. Finn and we will follow
the same course. have looked up
the law and there is no doubt that this
action is we'll within it."

The ordinary form Of automobile top
remains as popular as ever. Most of the
rather striking colors, however, which
used to be seen in top materials seem to
have disappeared and the plain black top
appears to have been found the most
practical as well as the most refined In
appearance. The use of canvas and SINH
lar materials for automobile tops seems to
have died out, too. giving place to more
durable and more slightly stuffs. The
victoria top. adaptable to automobile use
from the carriage field. continues in ia
vor. especially for pony-tonneau and

used on the ordinary touring car.
