Repubs and Progs Esdeauor- :
ing to Settle Differences
and Unite on a Winner
TEDDY WILL NOT WIN

Chicago, June s.-The Republican
convention today accepted the invita-
tion of the Progressives to a confer
ence for harmony. A proposal to that
end, adopted first in the Progressive
convention was received in the Repub-
lican convention and adopted with
few scattering "noes" and virtually
no demonstration.
They at once began arrangements for
meeting the Progressives.
The complexion of the committee was
generally regarded as one which would
not accept Colonel Roosevelt for the
presidential nomination, but on the
other hand would not insist upon an
agreement on Justice Hughes. The
whole effect of the development was TO
throw the Republican nomination into
uncertainty until the conferees report
The other principal developments in
the Republican convention were the
adoption of the platform as reported BY
the resolutions committee headed by
Senator Lodge, half minute demon
stration for Colonel Roosevelt when bis
name was mentioned for the first time
in the convention; the perfection Of
the permanent organization and al
journment until II O'Clock tomorrow
morning.

UNDERSHERlFF'S
SON HELD HIS OWN

Emmett Rucker, the fifteen-year-old
son Of Undersheriff Rucker, who spent
the day here yesterday with his father,
has the making OF star of the prize
ring If he were permitted to develop
such qualifications.
During the carnival at Minco last
week a young aspirant for pEglistic
honors blew into the little Grady coun-
ty city from the state capital carry
ing in his swagger a challenge to all
boys and a warning TO keep off. Ho
announced that they could find cham
pion to defend the honor of their own
town If they sought diligently enough,
made up an $S purse and offered it TO
the Minco boy who would meet the
outsider. Young Rucker accepted.
When he got through with the stran-
ger the Oklahoma City lad was in such
a pitiable condition that Emmett's
heart melted and he divided the purse
with his vanquished foe.
A few weeks ago a twenty-three-
year-old boy SHE'D brick-bat at En-
NETT, who Immediately proceeded toI
wallop his assailant to the end that
Emmett was arrested for assault. The
Judge required no time for delibera-
ton but Immediately exonerated the
young defender on the evidence
Emmett was naturally elated over
his 81 end of the purse on his arrival
here yesterday and proudly related the
details of the affair to his father. The
county officer, however, offered him
scant hope Of a fighting career. You
will have to get into the ring with the !
old man if l hear Of any more OF this
he said. which served to
put a damper on the youths aspira-
lions and Emmett viii now look to his
studies for glory rather than to the /
padded glove,

SWINDLE MAY Be
OFTEN WORKED
Raid BY Federal Officers Reveals One Of
SmOOihesi Devices for SwindIiug Known
in Annals Of Crime

a new one was put over Judge Ham.
ilton and Deputy United States Mar.
shal Jim Dillon this morning when a
device for swindling bootIeggers was
accidentally discovered in the course
Of raid. How long this trick has
been played and to what extent will
probably never be known as the vic.
Tins could not expose it without ex.
posing themselves to punishment for
trafficking in banned spirits.
II was during the raid on the home
of Glenn Johnson at O'Clock this
morning that Deputy Marshal Dillon
ran across a peculiarly constructed cl.
der barrel, the head of which had been
caved in and otherwise rendered unfit
Tor service. On the exposed inner suf-
lace Of the head large rubber gasket
was held in place by zinc covering
firmly fixed by large screws which
prevented leakage from a miniature
tap hole. Attached to the head and
leading into the tap hole was an inch
zinc pipe closed at the other end. The
raid had been made at the home of
Johnson at the end of the Fourth
street bridge crossing Line creek, and
in the presence OF the housekeeper.
Mrs. Jones. The woman then told the
story which Johnson refused to dis
cuss. A man, whose identity is at
present unknown, accosted Johnson
and told him hard luck tale of flee
Ing from federal persecution and Of
fering to sell him fifty gallon cask
Of fine whiskey for $50. A sample was
poured out Of the cask and 1t was es-
Iimated that the goods were worth
rom 1920 to $3.50 wholesale and would
retail at IS a gallon, thus giving John.
'on large profit The cask was TAX.
sn home and Johnson is said to havs
proceeded TO bottle his find" After
ess than a quart had been extracted
rom the BARREL the booze would no
onger flow. Investigation proved that
he contents Of the sealed tube con-
'tituted all the whiskey which the
ask contained, the remainder being
water which could not pass the gas
.et.
The federal officers have seen many
evices for swindling but this was
new stunt.
The most distressing part OF ths
was that Johnson, who
uns little restaurant on Second
nd Kansas avenue. was eager to take
dvantage of the "cinch" and not hav-
ng the required $50 borrowed the
lrger part Of II from his housekeeper
The raid was the result of many
