Following Action of National
Com. in Seating Taft Delegates
AFTER TWO HOURS HEARING
Bystanders Separate Combatants-Com-
mittee Also Settles Contest Between
Rival Taft Delegations from the
First South Carolina District.

Chicago, June IA. Nearly two hours
argument at the forenoon session of the
Republican national committee to-day
had as net result the transfer of two
delegates from the single Oklahoma dis
trict from the contested" to the Taft
column The issue in this case hinged
upon the regularity of the rival con-
yentions at Tulsa, the Roosevelt dele
gates appearing as the contestants.
Next the committee disposed of the
first South Carolina district case, in
which the regular" and contesting dele
cations were both composed OF TAFT
supporters. The contestants were seat
ed.
A feature of the forenoon was a fist
fight between Grant Victor, United
States marshal for the eastern district
of Oklahoma, a supporter of Taft. and
J.. G.. Disney and Patrick Dore of West
vile, oklahoma. who are Roosevelt sup
porters. The fight took place outside
of the rooms of the national committee
after the hearing in the third Oklahoma
district contest. A number of men aid
ed the detectives in separating the COM
batants.
Twelve delegates for Col. Roosevelt
and eighteen for Taft marked yester-
days gains by the two chief rivals for
the presidential nomination, from the
decision of contest cases by the Repub-
lican national committee In addition
the committee settled disputes between
rival Roosevelt factions in two districts
of North Carolina, thus clearing the
colonel's title to votes from those sec
tions.
1t was day of Roosevelt victories,
but victories achieved with the full ae-
quiescence of the Taft majority on the
national committee. Missouri's contests,
which threatened another battle between
the Taft and Roosevelt factions in which
the lines would be closely drawn, were
compromised so effectively that the com
mittee was unanimous in giving Roose-
Welt eight and Taft six of the contested
delegates from that state.
The decisions yesterday were; For
Tfat. two each from the second. third,
fourth. sixth, seventh and eighth Mis-
sissippi districts; two each from the
third, seventh and l4th Missouri dis
tricts; total, is.
For Roosevelt Four delegatesat-
large from Missouri; two each from the
first and fifth Missouri districts; two
each from the third and North Carolina
districts; total -
At the end of week of constant work
over the contested delegations the com
mittee has given President Taft a to-
tai of $50 delegates and Colonel Roose-
welt total of l3
In the ninth North Carolina district,
the committee seated the MeNinch- Green
delegation but the contest did not in
yolve presidential candidates, as both
delegates We're instructed for Roosevelt.
Before taking up this contest, the com
mittee considered the third contest and
seated the two Roosevelt delegates,

Boston Chamber of Commerce Men En-
joyed Visit in Barre.

The Boston Chamber of Commerce
trade extension tourists, who passed
through Barre yesterday afternoon, were
escorted to the quarries by way OF East
Barre. The visitors were shown the
Wetmore & Morse and +. L. Smith 4 Co
quarries and were told of the wonderful
development and growth OF The, Barre
granite industry. After viewing the
Smith quarries, the tourists were taken
in Barre cars again and escorted to the
Boutwell, Milne & Yarnum quarries and
from there to Williamstown, where the
visitors found their own cars awaiting
them. AT Wi'liamstown a brief stop
was made while Hon. j. w. Gordon OF
Barre made a speech expressing the graf
ifcation of Barre citizens that they had
been honored with the visit by repre-
sentatives of the Chamber of Commerce
and said that Barre was as cosmopolitan
a city as Barre herself. lie told of the
remarkable development of the granite
industry in the past 80 years. lie spoke
of the time when an end OF this great
granite shaft was sticking up in sheep
pasture and extending down perhaps to
the republic OF China. He said perhaps
some of this granite had been used to
build the great wall OF China. Now the
products Of this region are sent out to
the whole world. Wherever a great deed
is dene, it can be commemorated by no
more lasting memorial than Barre gran
ite.
He said: "We produce something be-
sides butter, eggs, and Massachusetts
governors" He told the visitors that
when they wanted another Massachu-
setts governor all they needed to do was
to telegraph their order and it would be
filed. He suggested that before they
left they leave their orders for monu-
ments.
The Bostonians were then presented
a group photograph OF the party, which
had been taken when the stop was made
at Jones Brothers. The visitors were
much surprised with this evidence Of
Barre enterprise. THE time in taking
the picture, finishing five dozen copies
and delivering them to the visitors at
was one hour and 40 min
utes. Troup was the photographer.l
After three cheers for BaTe by the
Bostonians and response of three cheers
for the Boston Chamber Of Commerce,
the party proceeded to Woodstock.

FOR CHICAGO TO-DAY
Will Lead Fight For Nomination Per-
sonally in Response to Unanimous
Appeal of His Delegates.

New York, June a. Theodore Roose
welt to-day announced he had decided
to 90 to Chicago personally to lead the
fight for his nomination He will leave
this afternoon over the New York Cen
tral railroad.
Col. Roosevelt said he was going in
response to unanimous demand of the
Roosevelt delegates. "The unanimous
demands of the delegates who have al
ready reached Chicago is that 60" he
said; they say the action of the ma
tonaI committee in the California,
Arizona, Indiana and Kentucky cases is
such as to make the issue absolutely
clear as to whether the people have a
right to make their own nomination or
whether a small knot of professional
politicians are to be permitted to steal
that right from them"

Roscoe Elmore Avery, the first speak
er, gave James G. Biaine's culogy on
"The Death of Garfield" Mr.. Avery
combined a pleasing presence with pro-
nounced oratorical ability and must have
been very near prize winner. Miss
Marie Lucinda Wells recited 'Pro Pa

the piece was accomplished with spirit
and splendid gesture. "Pro Patria" is
the story of stirring incident OF the
Revolution.
The third speaker was William Bran.
son McLeay, who gave an adapted contri-
button, Culture in Emergencies" Mr.
McLeay's manner of delivery offered few
occasions for criticism, and he seemed 70
completely master the different parts OF
a piece that was manifestly difficult.
He was followed on the program by Miss
Veola Madge Lance, who impersonnted
familiar characters in Mrs. Purington's
Visit" When initiating the vernacular
common in the countryside, Miss Lance
shows rare genius and in this humorous
role she was evidently at her best.
Wallace Fri Dutton gave a spirited in.
terpratation of Henry Lees "Eulcgy on
Washington" The piece IS fayorite
in prize speaking contests, and Mr.. Dut-
ton supplied it with a rare degree OF
emphasis.
Eaton's "The Sacrifice OF Jspntha's
Daughter" was the selection chosen by
Miss Laura G. Lalime and in her serious
recitation of that vivid tale she neglected
no opportunity to reveal her native io-
terpretatiye ability. Weston Atwood
Cate followed by delivering Senator Bey-
eridge's "The March of the Flag" Mr..
Cate is favored with a platform presence
unusual in an amateur orator, and his
defamation permitted free swing OF
emphasis throughout.
Miss Marion Marie Tupper WAS the
last contestant to appear on the pro
gram. Her selection was "A Protes-
sional Boarder" Beatrice Herfordi.
With Miss Tupper's skilled interpreta-
tion, the piece was made to present
true picture of clearinghouse life. With
exacting fidelity to her characters, she
marshaed the principals at the table
with the cleverness of an artist and re-
vealed yet another phase of her ability
in comprising many difficult gesticula
tions.
Without an exception, the participants
acquitted themselves with an unusual
amount of credit, which reflected upon
their own efforts as weii as upon those
who have had their training in charge.
The money which made up the prizes
awarded came through the gift made by
the alumni association OF the seminary

HORSE THIEVES
TO Be TRIED

Jim DAILY and Jack Murphy are the
names under which the tramps who
stole two horses, a buggy and a set
of harness from Fruita and Iona cit
izens Saturday night desire to stand
trial.
They are almost willing to admit
that the cognomens are not the same
that their hopeful parents conferred
upon them, but they will be sufficient,
say they, to attach to prosecutors
complaint.
The prisoners are not desperate
hores thieves by any means. At
least, they are not the type which
the west has made famous by moving
pictures and melodramas. Those who
have seen them behind the bars aver
that they look to be more used to
snatching Saratoga chips from free
lunch counter than making an unau-
thorized collection of transportation
facilities from the yeomanry of west
ern towns.
Their hearing will probably be set
for Thursday.
