LAST STAND IF ALLIES AGAINST
 HUGHES TO ST0P NOMINATION

will go in a body to the support of Justice Hughes.
 The Hughes managers profess not to be alarmed by reports that the favorite sons were organizing for a fight against the justice.
 As the night wore on meagre de tails Of the anti-Hughes conference became known. Geo. w. Perkins of the progressive convention, Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania and a num- Der of others met early.
 The spokesman for the republican faction convinced MT. Perkins that because of personal preiudices against Colonel Roosevelt held by many of the delegates chiefly on account of the colonel leaving the party four years ago he could not under any circum- stances gather more than $50 votes in the republican convention in which 494 votes is a majority
 Mir. Perkins told the republican
 members of the conference that next to nominating Colonel Roosevelt he desired above all to prevent the nom- nation of Justice Hughes. He as i serted that if Justice Hughes were nominated Colonel Roosevelt would
 not support him and the republican l ticket certainly would be defeated. He | thought Mf Root was the one mem- ; ber of the allied force who stood a , chance of nomination and win the 1 support of the colonel. He dismissed | as unworthy of serious consideration | the claims of other allied candidates ! Some of the other progressives who were consulted concerning this effort 1 to bring the two factions together 1 feared that Mir. Roots political rela- i tions with several of Colonel Roose- velt's political enemies would make it i impossible for the colonel to support
 Root. MT. Barnes. Jr., was mentioned
 in this connection
 If the allies are able to effect this combination with the progressives and gain the endorsement of Colonel Roose- l welt. it was said the progressive party
 would be given the vice presidential nomination and several of the pro-
 gressive platform blanks would be ac- | cepted by the republicans

NJ AGREEMENT
 IN CONFERENCE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

CHICAGO, June 10.-The peace con- ference of the republican and progress siYe conventions adjourned shortly be- fore ? o'clock this morning until 9 o'clock without having come to a definite agreement.
 The committee representing the progressives presented the subject of a compromise candidate asking the representatives of the republican con Vention to indicate fully any objection they had to Colonel Roosevelt or to name a substitute and suggest reas- ons why this alternate candidate would be more available. First they had no authority to speak for their convention and, second, there were ten candidates appealing for republi- can support and it was not within their province to name any one of the ten as even the probable choice of those who had clothed them with the commission to meet.
 There was long and friendly con- versation but it ended as it began. The opinion of those participating was divided. Senator Borah was op- timistic and thought that an agree ment could ultimately be reached Others were far less confident and thought it likely that the progressives Would continue their work and nom mate today In that event it was not to be unlikely that the republicans
 might also nominate.

WAUKEGAN, H., June 9.-Testi- mony of Frank Lambert and Edward Orpet, respective fathers of Marion Lambert and Will Orpet, this afternoon held a court room full of spectators tense with interest at the trial of the Wisconsin university student for the murder of his former sweetheart.
 Lambert, bent with age, slowly told the story of how he found his daughter dead in Helms woods and was com posed throughout the questioning of both the state and the defense.
 surprise was sprung at the close of the cross examination of Lambert when the state called to the stand Ed ward Orpet. It was a move not ex- pected by the attorneys for the defense and created a stir in the court room. The father of the accused was on the stand until late in the day.
 The scene of the tragedy at the Three Oaks was pictured with simple pathos by the father of the dead girl. He told of how he had seen his daughter alive the last time the night before he discovered her body. He had kissed her good night" and in the morning had left home early.
 Surprised on his return in the even- ing at not finding her home he went in search for her. With a perceptible tremor in his voice he told how he had come upon the body.
 On examining the body of his daugh- ter in the woods, Lambert testified that although he had quantity of cyanide of potassium, he kepr II in a locked closet and the only key never left his possession.
 His testimony on cross examination was practically the same as that given i for the state.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Results of the balloting at Chicago were re- ceived at the White House tonight by special wire, but President Wilson did not see the dispatches until late at night when he returned from the theater. Then he went over them carefully, together with many per sonal messages from state leaders.
 During the day the president spent several hours working on the draft of platform he is preparing for sub mission to the democratic convention in St Louis and various blanks also were discussed in detail at the cab inet meeting.
 Senator Walsh of Montana, who will be a Montana member of the resolutions committee at St. Louis, also worked during the day on blanks. He said every effort would be made to keep the platform as short as possible. A debate of suffrage is eX- pected in the resolutions committee and most democratic leaders believe votes for women" will be approved.

At several points the attacking Russians have crossed the Ikwa and Styr rivers. and farther south they are approaching the Stripa river.
 The victories are attributable largely to the avalanche of gun fire. The operations began in the vicinity of Olyka where skirmishing has been fre- quent lately. Both sides appeared to have been feeling for a weak spot in their opponents line. The Russians advance from this point which is 9 miles from LutslI, was accomplished in two and one half days. During the long period of inactivity the Austrians constructed strong Qualifications in this section. The topography of the country also formed strong natural de- lenses.
 Military observers regard the oper- ation as an extraordinarily brilliant achievement ana enpndSiZe the dDle leadership of General Brussiloff, who conducted the Carpathian campaign and made a record for prisoners guns and munitions captured.

Victory Without Parallel

LONDON, June '10.-"The victory won by the Russians is without par allel in military history" says a Pet rograd Reuter- Telegram company dis patch. The Russians now occupy the whole triangular fortified position of Kolki, Lutsk and Olyka.
 Military writers dwell on the great strategic importance of this tri- angle, which includes some of the best Austrian communication lines, and connects the center between Po- Jessie, Volhynia and Poland and the roads to Galicia and Bukowina.
 '"The Russians fought their way to Lutsk, distance of 25 miles, in three days, through forests and marshlands and over battered defenses, the in- vincibility of which the Austro- Ger mans had been boasting throughout the winter and spring. There is still no response to the Russians thrust, and military writers declare that mat ters begin to look serious for the whole enemy line in Russia"

CHICAGO, June 10, G2:45 a. m)-| The last stand of the allies against the Hughes forces which threaten to sweep the republican convention }to- day has been ordered. With more than a majority of the delegates still pledged to their colors, steps were taken at midnight to guard against assertions.
 The plans of the combination were guarded with the utmost secrecy but it was necessary for the leaders to take so many persons into their con- fidcnce that it became known that the allies looked to Sagamore Hill for the endorsements needed to make Vic- tory theirs.
 A word from Colonel Roosevelt they all seemed to think would end the chance of nomination of Hughes and his approval of an ally would give that candidate strength to go before the convention today with at least a show to get the nomination.
 The leaders in the combinations were managers of the candidates of Fairbanks, Weeks and Burton of Ohio. but it was hoped to enlist all of the other allied candidates. sherman of Illinois, Root of New York, Cunlmins of Iowa, Knox of Pennsylvania and those with a scattered following. The packers of Fairbanks were the most insistent of all
 Former Senator Root of New York figured prominently in the plars of the combination as many of the po- litical leaders opposed to the nomina, | ton of Hughes argued that they must 1 consider the supposed ambition of | Colonel Roosevelt to get the republi- can nomination in 1920. On account of MT. Roots advanced age it was said that Colonel Roosevelt might favor him over others.
 The greatest clements of doubt in the situation concerns the supporters of CImmins of Iowa and La Toilette of Wisconsin because of their pro- gressive tendency. When released from their pledges, these delegates, the favorite son combination fears, by the Russian war office today says in part:
 The number of our prisoners is constantly increasing. In addition to the 95S officers and over 51,00O men, already announced, we took in the course of yesterdays fighting an additional 1855 officers and 13,714 men, making our total of captured in the recent operations 1,143 officers and over GA TIA men"
