FRIENDS HOLD THIS VIEW,
BUT ARE NOT GIVING UP
THE FIGHT.
LEADERS THINK HUGHES
ABLE TO BRING HARMONY
Speculation Rife as to What Old Guard
viii Do If 1t Succeeds in Defeat
ing Colonel for Nomination
Rank and File Anxious to
Draw Bull Moose Back.

Chicago, June s. - Theodore Roosc-
welt, Jr., arrived in Chicago with VIII
liam Loeb, Jr., and mingled with the
pre-convention crowds in hote! lob
hies. He will attend the convention as
the guest of J. Ogden Armour.
"a do not know what the convention
Is going to co." said Roosevelt to
friends. "But sentiment of the coun-
try wherever polls have been taken
seem to be for father"
Chicago, June 6.-For some UNI
known reason, for which no eXplana-
ton is offered, there is a growing con-
viction among Republican and Pro-
gressive leaders assembled here for
the national convention that Colonel
Roosevelt will not be nominated by
the older party. Among those who
hold to this view are many numbered
among the colonel's closest friends,
who nevertheless are not giving up the
fight.
See Harmony in Hughes.
The leaders who take this view Of
the situation seem to think that JUS
tice Hughes is the man who could
bring the Republican and Progressive
parties together and present a solid
front to the Democratic opposition,
ever though they are not convinced
that the justice will win the nomina-
ton.
The situation which this condition
presents is unprecedented. None of
the leaders on the ground processes to
have any idea of what will happen.
1t seemed certain that Colonel
Roosevelt could have the Progressive
nomination at once if he would say the
word and still leave the way open to
withdraw his candidacy if the Repub-
lican convention nominated a man,
whom he was willing to support.
Plans of Cid Guard.
One faction among the Progressives
favors nominating Colonel Roosevelt
on the first day of the convention and
then await the action of the Republi-
cans. Another faction would prefer to
make no nomination until it was
known what the Republicans pur-
posed to do.
On every hand there was ~specula-
ton as 20 what the old guard will do
If it succeeds i'm defeating Colonel
Roosevelt for the nominations; wheth-
er they would go the whole distance
and nominate a man of their number
such as Root, Fairbanks, Weeks or
Burton; or whether they would at
tempt to conciliate the Progressives
by choosing a man whom the latter
might support. The name of Justice
Hughes is the only one that has been
brought forward so far as having such
possibilities.
All Factions Want Unity.
Among the rank and file of the Re-
publicans there are indications of a
genuine effort to draw the Progress
sives back into the old party. One
or these evidences is the lack of harsh
criticism and bellicose demonstrations
which characterized the convention
period of 1912. Apparently all fac
tons learned a lesson from the disas-
trous consequences following the split
-FOUR years ago and as a result nothing
is heard in the nature OF ~bragadoccio
or defiance.

London. June 6. - The British ad-
miralty issued a statement saying
there was the strongest grounds for
belief that the British navy in the
battle with the Germans off Jutland
last week had accounted for a total
of eighteen German men of war, and
that there was nothing to add TO or
subtract from the original announce
ment OF the British losses.
The statement gave the German
losses as two battleships, two dread
naught battle cruisers, four light
cruisers, nine torpedo boat destroyers
and a submarine.

COUNTIES ARE LIABLE,
NOT LEGISLATURE
Lilies Denies That Ways and Means
Committee Has Dealt PenuriOusly
With School.


The State.
There seems to be a general i'm
preston that the industrial school for
boys at Florence will suffer on account
of the 'penuriousness' of the legisla-
ture," said Junius T. Lilies of Orange
burg, chairman Of the ways and means
committee, last night.
"Tne statute under which the school
is organized specifically provides that
each county in the State shall pay the
expenses of the boys sent to 1t by
the county, thereby calling upon the
county governments and not the State
to maintain the property The school
was to be self-supporting and it was
intended that the State would not be
called upon for any other appropria-
ton than the erection of the school,
THE law requires that every three
months the trustees or directors OF
the school shall submit to eacn county
statement of it's pro rata share OF
maintenance, the cost being based
upon the per capita expenses incurred
by the boys. Each county, therefore,
should pay for the boys it sends to the
institution
"In appropriating $4,000, OF which
$4,000 is for maintenance and $4,000
for the deficit, the ways and means
committee followed the precedent that
has been set by the legislature here
tofore. In refusing to appropriate
more, the committee felt that the
counties, and not the people Of
the State. should be taxed for the in
mates, as provided in the original
statute

STATE MAINTAINS THE
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
Support Taken Out of Hands of the
COunties-LiIeS Makes
Explanation.

The State.
Research into the statutes of 1872
reveals the fact that an amendment
was passed to the act establishing the
industrial school for boys at Florence
whereby the maintenance of that in
stitution was taken out of the hands
of the counties and given to the
State.
The following explanation was made
on the floor of the house yesterday
by Junius T. Lilies of Orangeburg,
c!,:.2::--..1n:an CT t!,c ways and means COM
mittee:
"The committee on ways and means
find that they are apparently in error
relative to the law providing for the
maintenance Of the Florence reforma,
tory. The act creating this institution
was amended in 1911 so as to relieve
the counties of the State of the cost OF
supporting the boys committed from
the respective counties and this ex-
pense was devolved upon the State.
The committee assumed that all
acts relating to the reformatory anc
all notifications of the original act OF
1906, enacted prior to codifcation of
the laws in 1912, would appear in the
code of 1912. The acts of 1913, 1914
and 1915 were searched for amend
ments, but none were discovered. The
amendment passed in 1911 was vetoed
by the governor and was passed over
the veto early in the session of 1912
but does not appear in the code. There
is some difference of opinion as tc
whether this act or the code applies
The amendment was brought to my at
tention by Nlr. L. T. Mills and I de,
sire to thank him publicly for his
kindness.
at seems that not eevn the official:
of the institution knew That the
amendment had become law. The
mistake on the part of the committee
was an honest one and resulted from
what they believe very logical as
sumption. I make this statement il

FEEBLE OF MIND OF THE
STATE TO HAVE ASYLUM
Regents of Hospital for Insane Are
Directed to Report Upon
Plans.

The State.
The senate last night passed the bill
by Senators Sherard and Christensen
looking to the creation of a school for
the training of the feebleminded. Al
amendment by Senator Laney of Ches-
terfeld placed the supervision Of the
school in the hands of the board of
regents of the State Hospital for the
Insane, rather than under board of
trustees of five, as provided originally.
The senate refused to table this
amendment by a vote of 26 nays to Z
yeas. The effect of the amendment will
be ITO annex the school to the State
Hospital for the Insane rather than
leave it separate and distinct insti-
tuition.
The establishment of the school is
in reality contingent upon reports
and recommendation which are to
be made to the general assembly one
year hence. During the interim re-
