Chicago, Jane 1&.—Tli« Roose-
velt leaders including the gov-
nors who besought Colonel

MORE TEXAS DELEGATES
FOR TAFT.
By Associated Press.
Chicago, June 15.—Taft dele-
gates seated the fifth and sev-
entli Texas districts.
By Associated Press.
Chicago, 111., June 15.—The Texas
eight delegates at large were cred
ited to Taft as the first work of
the national committee today.
Cecil Lyon In arguing for Roose
velt said, "the Roosevelt delega
tion was named by substantial ma-
jority In the state convention."
F. C. Bryan, arguing for Taft said
"the fight in Texas was largely
against Lyon, who ran the republi-
can party there by political brigand-
age."
He said "Lyon appointed his own
county chairman and made a paper
list of the delegates from counties
where there were not two republi-
cans votes," and, "that the real
Texas sentiment is for Taft."
"Treason," Said Heney.
The delegates from the first,
second and fourth Texas districts
were credited to Taft and the third
dlBtrlct credited to Roosevelt.
The decisions for Taft were vio-
lently attacked by Francis J. Heney
who objected to "Mexcanlzlng Am-
erica."
This is more than plain stealing,"
he said, "It's treason."
Chicago, June 15.—Addition by the
republican national committee of
fourteen delegates from Alaska, Ok-
lahoma, South Carolina and Ten-
nesse to the "credited to Taft" list
and announcement that Theodore
Roosevelt had Btarted for Chicago
consltuted the development Bof the
political situation up to a late hour
Friday night.
The general impression at mid-
night was thai, the Taft majority In
the national committee had adopted
ar uncompromising attitude toward
the coming contests and that the
Roosevelt people could expect little
ai their hands. Color was given to
this view by the Taft headquarters
giving out a table of their claims
of delegates, including all of the del-
egates from the crucial districts
not yet passed upon by the com-
n lttee.
The announced departure of
F.oosevelt for Chicago formed the
n-ainsprlng for the activities of the
Taft bureau hero Friday. Through-
cut the day and evening Taft lead-
ers discussed the effect his arrival
and liis efforts are likely to have
on the situation. Friday night three
statements were Issued from th<i
Taft headquarters, two by Director
McKinley and one by William
Barnes, Jr., of New York. Of these,
two were Inspired by Roosevelt's
start for Chicago. Mr. McKinley
declared that the Roosevelt man-
agers here had sent for their chief
as a last hope when' they were con-
vinced of impending defeat.
Compared to Napoleon.
After comparing Roosevelt to Na-
poleon and the Roosevelt campaign
for the nomination to the '^hundred
days" the statement concluded:
'To date Col. Roosevelt had per-
sisted In remaining away from Chi-
cago and assailing the republican
party's principles, its president and
the leaders of the party at long
range.
"He has himself said tfiat he did
not intend to come to Chicago un-
less it was absolutely necesBary for
him to do so to prevent his own de-
ft at. That defeat is at hand, an J
Mr. Roosevelt, in violating all prece-
dents in political history in thi3
country, as a self-seeking candidate,
proposes to take charge of his cam-
paign for a nomination for a third
term as president."
Soon afterwards the Taft man
eger put out a statement by William
Barnes, Jr in which the latter said-
"Mr. Roosevelt's departure for
Chicago was inevitable. Undignified
as it is and impotent as it will prove
to be, its chief interest lies In its
disclosure of that mania for power
over which Mr. Roosevelt has
control."
During the day the hotel lobbies
and the various headquarters have
buzzed with compromise candidate
gossip. Appearances of compromise
talk called forth a lengthy state-
ment from Director McKinley, in
which he charged the Roosevel
forces with encouraging it.
"Within the last twenty-four
hours," said the statement, "men
high in the councils of Theodore
Roosevelt have energetically encour
aged talk of a compromise candl
date for president. This Is an ad
mission of fact; namely, that Theo
dore Roosevelt Is a defeated candl
date In this convention." Plans for
demonstrations of various sorts
offset the arrival of Roosevelt were
discussed by the • Taft leaders, but
nc scheme was adopted. It wai
practically decided to treat the pres
race of the colonel with silence and
disdain, although the Taft reception
committee, which has begun the
v ork of rounding up delegates and
rerlng for them, was urged to add!
tional activity Saturday.

FORGET CONFEDERATE VALOR"
Mason City, la., June 15.—Further
appropriations by congress for mon-
uments perpetuating memories of
Confederate valor" were vigorous-
opposed in resolutions adopted
by tbe Iowa encampment of the Q.
R. here today. The resolutions
said it was "deemed better that
these memories fade away." Partic-
ular opposition was made to the
proposed Confederate monument in
the National Cemetery at Vicks-
burg, Mi88.
This afternoon a second man-
damus suit was instituted against
the county commissioners, to com-
pel them to redistrict the county.
The action is brought by the state
of Oklahoma, ex rel C. P. Holt,
county attorney. Mr. Holt signed
the petition this afternoon.
A recent inquiry directed by Mr.
Holt to the attorney general brought
opinions from him to the effect that
the board could be mandamused
to redistrict the county, that the
mandamus action could be brought
in the name of the county attor-
ney, and that the county attorney
did not have to appear for the coun
ty commissioners in the action.

* POLICE COURT. •
Pernio Condrey was fined $6.50
for disturbing the peace.
Ed Thomas, the street preacher
arrested for vagrancy, was fined
five dollars. Judge Flowers ques-
tioned him for half an hour about
his antecedents and his manner
of making a living. He said that
he was a native of New York. His
mother, he declared, was a Jewess
and his father a negro. He preach-
ed no particular doctrine, but be-
lieved that he was sent by the Lord
to preach to all people. He took
no collections, he said, as he had
no need of money. There was al-
ways somebody In the crowdB that
heard him who would invite him to
eat. At Holdenville, he said, a
man gave him a dollar, but he re-
turned It, saying he didn't want
money. Thomas was sadly in need
of grooming, and was furnished a
razor this morning. He declined
to use a mirror, saying that the
Lord would direct his hand. When
he finished shaving himself, he per-
formed a like function for other
prisoners. He also secured some
rags and hot water and soap, and
thoroughly scrubbed the Inside of
the cells, appearing to enjoy the
work. Altogether he appears to be
very inoffensive and harmless
person, and Is apparently well versed
In sacred history.
