Continuing, the theater man said: When somebody is run ming to the police every time you turn crooked, you are going to be in hot water Asked why he insisted on turning crooked, he replied: "If you think we were careless about the mat ter we were but we did not intend to defraud or kill anybody"

HARD TIME KEEPING OUT
ROOSEvELT'S NOMINATION

Auditorium, Chicago, June g.
After struggling for more than three
hours today to prevent radical dele
gates from nominating Roosevelt, the
progressive convention recessed at
5:45 o'clock until eight tonight, to
enable committees of the two conven-
tons to meet in an effort to effect
peace, before the delegates consented
to listen to the considerative leaders
who counselled delay In nomination,
many progressives charged that the
progressive leaders were dealing with
thieves" and could afford to take no
chances. The afternoon session showed
the leaders they were in control only
because of willingness of delegates
to attempt to secure harmony. Ar
unfavorable report from the confer.
ence committee would mean the al.
most instant nomination of Roosevelt

$3.50 SAVED
To COUNTY BY
PLA An
Macgibbon's Tally Books
Enable Escarnbia to
Make First Returns.

The new tally books tried out in
Escambia county proved most salts
factory, said county officials yester-
day. Complete returns from every
precinct in this county were in and
tabulated at II 80 o'clock Wednesday
morning, while it is estimated that
with the old system it would have
been Thursday night before the COM
plete returns would have been in.
However, thirty-six hours less time
to pay the inspectors meant $3.50 to
the county.
Escambia was the first county to
present complete returns of the cleo
ton, even beating some of the small
est counties in the state.
The system is an entirely new one
and was designed by Clerk Macgib-
bon and Deputy Clerk Thomas A.
Johnson. AS soon as the plan was
complete the design was submitted tc
the secretary of state for general
adoption, but owing to the fact that
practically all of the counties had al,
ready printed official tally books, Es-
Gambia was the only one to benefit By
the system. xk
