TWENTY-NINTH YEAR. NO. 48. Latest in Parasols Photo, Copyright, by Underwood & Underwood, N. Y. An odd shaped parasol is the "peak parasol" of unique design. It is of a deep lace edging made of the same material as the little lace jacket worn by the model. The jacket is worn over a gown of changeable silk. It is for seashore wear and worn without a hat.

The jacket is w is for seashere wear and worn without COMPLETE COSTUME. - Natty blue cashmere is used for this costume; the Magyar bodice and skirt are cut together, and fasten at back; the square neck is filled in with a yoke of piece lace. A fold of material is put down left side to represent a wrapped seam, buttons with braid are sewn inside this, a simple embroidery pattern trims front. The undersleeves are of piece lace; the waist is drawn in by gathers that are covered by a stitched band of material. Materials required: 2½ yards 48 inches wide, % yard lace 18 inches wide, 1 dozen buttons. Glass Buttons. Glass buttons are quite the fashion, and come in all colors and sizes; they are a distinctive mark of this season's suit wherever seen. Red and black ones are shown in two sizes; these have the appearance of bone; others resemble clouded amber beads, and are appropriate for the most dressy gown; others come in transparent crystal of all shades, dark and light blue, green and black; and in black there are those which look like shoe buttons. Mother-of-pearl buttons are also largely in demand, square and round; the large square ones with flat surfaces, are 25 cents each. Serges Are Popular. Serges are prime favorites for the tailored suits. Poiret uses these modish materials for a number of his best creations. Whipcords in two-tone colors in a great variety of qualities are also popular. Tans, grays and dull blues are the leading shades. The interest in white, cream and fancy woven serges increases as the season advances. THE GAZETTE This Season's Linen Suits Are Made With None or Very Little Trimming. While the coarse, dinens are used, those made of the finer twisted thread are liked quite as well. Very little trimming is needed. The collar and cuffs or the lingerie flair at neck and wrists suffice, though, of course, buttons and buttonholes, lace and embroidery may figure as trimming. Oddity of cut is, however, the only thing necessary for those who wish something different. It is surely different enough to have the back of the coat and skirt cut across on the blazer or otherwise manipulated. Yet, such manipulations offer no difficulties to the laundress. These suits may be made coat and skirt fashion or in the coat and dress effect. Both styles have their good points, many considering the former the most economical, since a fresh blouse may be donned as often as the wearer pleases. And sleeves and necks do have a way of becoming soiled before it is necessary to send the entire dress to the laundry. Many dresses are being made, too, in linen and kindred weaves. The severity of these all-in-one gowns is beginning to disappear. While the puffs seen on taffetas are not available there are plipings, inlayings and bands in contrasting fabrics. Fancy linens and linens with openwork borders are effectively utilized, though one who is at all clever at designing will be able to achieve very fine suits with the plink sort. It's the design, cut and finish that counts, also the accessories. One girl, for example, is to look smart in her white linens this summer; the only color she is to add is sapphire or coral, as the spirit may move her. Whether she chooses the blue or the odd pink shade she will wear it in the shape of stilt stockings, ribbon watch fob and necklace, and no other color will appear except she chooses to carry a parasol in the color she is wearing. Wired Feathers for Hats. As the hats are all trimmed very high wired feathers arranged to sew on hats may be purchased, and flowers also in poupon effects. One of these feather tower effects costs $4.50; others are near the one dollar margin; the price varies according to the quality and kind of feathers. Algrettes are still in evidence, though more in white than black. In buying white ostrich feathers of the less expensive grade it is well to run one's hand gently down the length of the quill, pressing back the feather to see that it has been properly dyed, as these aps to show the blown of the natural feather in the outdoor light and the breeze. For the Summer Resort The very thin negligees are so delightful that one sometimes forgets they may not be practical, for many summer resorts are cool at night and in the early hours of the day, and for these places it is better to take something of heavier weight, such as an alabastros negligee. These may be had with a deep collar of dotted Swiss, made with Valenciennes insertion and edging and in pastel colors. The sleeves are finished with a deep cuff of dotted Swiss and lace. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1912. MANY WAITERS FAVOR NATIONAL CONFERENCE Believe That Organization Wil Ameliorate Present Conditions. WAITERS EXPRESS OPINIONS—J. L. DICKERSON OF YALE UNIVERSITY DINING CLUB AND S.C.JORDAN OF WAITERS' PROTECTIVE LEAGUE WRITE, Since the announcement that the colored waiters throughout the United States are planning to hold a national convention some time this summer or fall and discuss ways and means to further their interest, many communications have been received in which views are given as to why the colored waiter is losing out. Other letters have been received in defense of the colored waiter of today. J. L. Dickerson of the Yale University Dining club writes from New Haven, Conn., as follows: "As I am daily confronted by the news of the colored hotel waiter losing a chance for employment, I desire to say a few words in his favor. news of the colored hotel waiter losing a chance for employment, I desire to say a few words in his favor. "There was once a time when the dining room service of all the hotels of this country was carried on entirely by colored help. Then the hotel proprietors grew rich—many of them more so than now. And it is a fact that the colored waiter of today is far superior to the colored waiter then, when it was impossible to get an intelligent crew of colored waiters of uniform appearance. For now the colored waiter can read and write, while there are many of them who speak some of the foreign languages in use in the dining room. It is easy to get a crew of colored waiters of uniform and neat appearance. "Having such desirable qualifications, one is made anxious to ask what objections some hotel proprietors have against colored waiters. The answer to this would be that these certain proprietors imagine that their guests would object to them. But such an objection would not stand the test, for examination would show that these same guests are satisfied with colored waiters when they are served by them in at least one of these places: The Florida winter resorts, many of the steamers, summer resorts all over the country, or the Pullman dining cars, in all of which places there are a great many colored waiters. "So we see that the preference of the guests has no influence in a proprietor's selection of waiters. And since the selection of waiters from races other than the colored has caused proprietors no end of trouble, because of help not only having no knowledge of the service, but some of them not even a speaking knowledge of the language of the nation, we trust that the proprietors may consider the colored waiters, men of long experience in the service and well-trained in both American and European service and who are sure to satisfy both the proprietor and the guests. All that the colored waiter asks is to be given a chance and then allowed to stand on his merits." S. C. Jordan, secretary of the Waiters' Protective league, writes from Kansas City, Mo., as follows: "That distant relation that exists among the colored waiters and their failure to acquaint themselves with the fraternal or fellow-feeling, has been the gulf between them and success. Not only as a unit in society is the line clearly drawn, but at their every day vocation, where men are compelled by force of circumstances to stand side by side in the dining rooms and earn their daily bread; the spirit of indifference in regards of each other's feelings is of such a magnitude that to give the guest at his fellowworker's table a glass of water, or to stoop to catch the request for more bread or the Lea and Perrin, becomes a burden of grief to him and a cause for a great assistance. "I am in possession of evidence whereupon the request of a guest for an idle waiter to get him more bread, the waiter first sought the head waiter to find out who was serving the party (while he knew all the time), and when told, regards of who the waiter was, if convenient for him to get the bread to do so, this waiter's face grew long and sulky, and his expression reminded one of a balky horse refusing to pull his load. This same waiter walked over that large dining room, scanning trays trying to scrape up sufficient bread for the guest, and at last upon his failure to do so—of course—was forced to go straight forward to the kitchen. In this time the guest had appealed to the head waiter, who in turn riprimanded the slovenly and ill-natured waiter for such conduct, and was confronted with this complaint, 'I am not here to wait on these other fellows.' Thus that waiter had not bound anyone to make unto him a return of thankfulness. "And there are countless other things that could be mentioned which happens every day in nearly every hotel where colored boys are employed that would substantiate the argument that the necessity of creating a fraternal spirit in the profession becomes a past of every waiter, and head waiter's duty to work unceasingly for the ultimate assurance of such a fraternity. The generous man cannot but regret to see dissension and disputes among his brethren. Only the base and ungenerous delight in discord. It is the poorest occupa tion of humanity to labor to make men think worse of each other; yet those workers are in the majority of the colored waiters' profession. They are ever ready to consure rather than to praise. Jealousy has wrought a complete dissolution, and the profession stands today in a perfect Babylonian condition. "Every trade or profession of the white man is linked cohesively by some fraternal force that brings them in contact, and harmonizes their interest in each other's welfare, regarding the trade or profession which they pursue for livelihood. The duty of every waiter should be to endeavor or make men think better of his neighbor, to quiet, instead of aggravating difficulties to bring together those who are severed or estranged, to keep friends from becomingoes, and to persuade foes to become friends. To do this, they must need control their own passions, and be not rash and hasty, nor swift to take offence, nor easy to be angered; for anger is a professed enemy to counsel. "When the colored waiters learn the good of fraternity, and fraternity applies its principles to the advancement of the profession, harmony, peace and tranquility of thought, one towards the other, shall be much in evidence here and elsewhere. Then, like the gradual dawning of civilization upon the American people, hotels that heretofore have looked upon the native negro with disdain, will throw open their doors and bid them welcome. Why? Because the reformation that will have taken place in their character, manner, increased knowledge of service, temperament, additional languages, all due to the harmonious relation brought about through fraternity. "The writer appeals to the profession all over the United States to catch hold of the spirit of fraternity and arouse the thoughtless brothers, that to obligate ourselves to a principle that has a tendency to increase our prestige means that to respect that obligation, will result in the future generation looking forward for new fields to conquer." SIGNS OF THE TIMES When you see A large mass of velvet decorated with waving willow plumes, and pink feathers, and buckles, and chiffon, and what not come along the street, it is a sign there's a woman under it. A broad-shouldered, slim-waisted beauty drop her purse in the street car and look anxiously about her for some kind party to pick it up for her, it is a sign she has her hobble skirt on. A man down a cellar looking for the leak in the gas pipe with the aid of a match, it is a sure sign he is going to find it. A very badly frightened man and an overjoyed woman marching up the aisle to the tune of "tum, tum-tum," it is a sign of a wedding. A man put sugar and cream in his soup at a public dinner, it is a sign he is not what might be called an urbanite. A woman go into a telephone booth and talk twenty-eight minutes to a dear lady friend in the next street at an expense of about fifty cents, it is a sign she hasn't said a word worth listening to. A man sitting in a street car suddenly jump up and offer a homely looking 300-pound woman his seat, smiling at the same time with the expression of a dying gladiator, it is a sign she has just stepped on his foot. A man with all his hair growing south of his ears going to sleep in the theater, it is a sign the performance is not musical comedy. A man run gayly or nicely up the steps of his home at 4:15 a.m. it is a sign he is single or his wife's away. A young woman lying in a hammock, her dresses tucked about her feet, her arm under her cheek, her face fushed, her ill-white hand drooping gracefully down, and her eyes closed, it is a sign she is wide awake and expecting some one. A man and woman dining out and having a perfectly glorious and happy time of it, smiling sweetly at each other all the time, it is a sign they are married. P. S.—But not to each other BREAD OMELET. A good bread omelet can be made by softening a cupful of the soft part of bread in boiling water, pouring off what the bread does not absorb; to the soaked bread add a cupful of milk, the yolks of three eggs, an even table-spoonful of salt and a saltspoonful of pepper; put a tablespoonful of butter in a frying pan over the fire; beat the whites of three eggs to a stiff froth, lightly stir them with the bread, etc., pour the mixture into the hot pan and cook it over a moderate fire until the under surface is brown; then fold it together and serve at once on a hot dish. BECHAMEL SAUCE. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add two tablespoonfuls of flour and stir until well blended; then pour on gradually, while stirring constantly, one-half cupful each of rich chicken stock and milk. Bring to the boiling point and season with salt and pepper. Prepare a rich chicken stock after this fashion: Take one cupful of liquor in which a fowl has been cooked and add half an onion and half a carrot sliced, a bit of bay leaf, a sprig of parsley and three pepper corns. Let simmer until reduced one-half and strain. Hurst, Jones, Chappell and Connor the Successful Candidates. DR. RANSOM ELECTED EDITOR—PASTOR OF BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH, NEW YORK, TO EDIT A. M. E. CHURCH REVIEW—OTHER OFFICERS ELECTED. Kansas City, Mo.—With four new bishops elected and the officers for the various official positions within the gift of the denomination chosen, the twenty-fourth general conference of the A. M. E. church, which has been in session at Allen A. M. E. church, wound up its final business. The new bishops—Drs. John Hurst, Joshua H. Jones, W. D. Chappelle and James M. Connor—were formally ordained Sunday afternoon with impressive services. Each of the new prelates is widely known in the connection. Dr. Hurst was born in Haiti about 50 years ago. He came to this country when a lad, and was connected for a few years with the Haitian legation at Washington. Later he entered Wilberforce university. After his graduation, he was appointed pastor at Elkridge, Md. For sixteen years he was pastor of leading churches in Baltimore and four years ago was elected financial secretary of the denomination. Dr. Jones is about 54 years of age. He was educated at Claflin and Howard universities, and for eight years served as president of Wilberforce university, being succeeded four years ago by Dr. W. S. Scarborough. He is regarded as one of the most eloquent speakers in the denomination. Dr. Chappelle is about 55 years of age. He was educated at Allen university, Columbia, S. C., of which school he has been president for the past four years. For eight years he served as secretary of the Sunday School Union. Dr. Connor is one of the big men of the southwest. Unlike the others, he has not received a collegiate training. He has served as a member of the financial board of the A. M. E. church for the past four years; is presiding elder of the Little Rock (Ark) district. He is president of the executive board of Shorter college. The big surprise of the general conference was the failure of Dr. W. W. Beckett to be elected to the bishopric. Until a few days before election it was generally understood that Dr. Beckett would be one of the newly-elected bishops, and his name was mentioned favorably on every hand. Dr. Chappell, however, who also halls from South Carolina, was aspirant for the highest honor the church could confer, and he made such an effective canvass that he defeated Dr. Beckett by thirty-five votes. Among the other defeated candidates were the Revs. M. M. Ponton, R. H. W. Leake, F. Jesse Peck, James Dean, R. R. Downs, J. A. Jones, T. N. M. Smith, and I. N. Ross. The balloting for general officers resulted as follows; John R. Hawkins, a layman, financial secretary, succeeding Bishop Hurst; the Rev J. W. Rankin, Waxahacle, Tex., missionary secretary, succeeding Dr. W. W. Beckett; Dr. J. I. Lowe, manager of the Book Concern; Dr. W. W. Wright, editor Christian Recorder; Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom, editor A. M. E. Review; Ira Bryant, secretary Sunday School Union; the Rev J. C. Caldwell, secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor Union. In the election of Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom as editor of the A. M. E. Review the pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, New York, won a signal victory. His strongest opponent was Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville. So overwhelming was the sentiment in favor of the selection of Dr. Ransom that all his competitors withdrew and he was elected by acclamation. The next general conference will be held at Philadelphia, where the A. M. E. church was founded in 1816. In connection with the next session the centennial of the denomination will be held. The report of the commissioner of education, John R. Hawkins, showed that nearly $60,000 had been received from the general treasury of the church toward the support of the sixteen schools and colleges maintained by the denomination during the past four years. This does not take in account the money paid in tuition by the thousands of young men and women who have been enrolled in these schools, the money contributed by churches, conferences and individuals. WOMAN LAWYER FINALLY LOSES WHITE COLORED DEATH CASE. New York—Miss Lucille Pugh, the young woman attorney from North Carolina, who obtained a disagreement by the jury on the first trial of her client, Leroy Polindexer, a negro, lost her case on the second trial of the prisoner. Polindexer was convicted by a jury of manslaughter in the second degree for killing Thomas Brown, negro, after a dispute over a crab game. Miss Pugh summed up for the defense and scored the police for what she alleged was their unfair antagonism to the prisoner. The jury was out 26 hours. This was the case where she referred to her client as a good "nigger" and well-meaning "darkey." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Writing to the Dallas (Tex.) Ex- tirely upon the negro. Why the bet ter class of white do not hesitate to press "Old Hickory" says: THE BEST HANDS threely upon the negro. Why the better class of white do not hesitate to say that negroes ought to patronize one another. Does the doctrine become dangerous when advocated by a negro? We believe our friend's argument is based upon a vicious fallacy—a fallacy that is rendered untenable by the facts in hand. We believe racial ill will be far less in evidence where there are thriving negro business enterprises than where the negro has nothing and wants nothing of the sort. But why talk? The facts remain that if a man goes in to swim he runs some risk of being drowned, especially if he is trying to learn how to swim, and that other fact is equally inexorable: he never will learn how to swim until he does get in the water. From everywhere come reports that the negro is going into the commercial waters and challenging all the dangers and perils involved. Other races have done and are doing the same. Why not the negro? Turner's book, "The Pennsylvania Negro," is a comprehensive and fain historical estimate, and students are reading it with avidity. Recently the papers have been teeming with letters on this work, and although men have drawn conclusions, the consensus is indeed favorable in the matter of accuracy. One striking feature is, the part played by the Quakers in the matter of practical aid and sympathy for the colored people of Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Very many colored people either condemn or fail to award the Quakers their just due. In the first place this sect has always consistently and rigidly lived up to conscience. What they exact from themselves, they demand from others. They have always paid promptly and made others do likewise. When they bargain for work, the bargain must be lived up to. An appointment for a certain hour means that. Some people wince under a restraint, who are themselves lax of habit. All these things foster prejudice; but what is needed is to approach the attitude of the Quakers with a dispassionate mind. The best way is to recount just what they did. It is true that they were to a degree slave holders at the beginning and for the reason of the paucity of unskilled labor. They did not see the enormity of human bondage as quickly as the Germans, because they really began to wage war against the system as early as 1688 in Pennsylvania, but when they did, it became general. Even when chattel ownership was common, it was mollified by the Quakers in ways unlike others. They clothed them better, fed them decently and made it a point to teach them trade and text books.—Pencil Pusher in Philadelphia Tribune. Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan, the great American financier, talking of the money loss by the wrecking of the Titanic to a Paris reporter, said: "Oh, some one pays. There is no such thing as money losses in existence." That is interesting, from so high an authority. The intrinsic value of the ship and the actual cash and jewelry value that were sunk to the bottom of the sea cannot be recovered, but the compensation will be made by wealth out of the sea in other forms, such as fish for food, salt, pearls, and the like, but the recompensation cannot be got without the expenditure of other values in cost of machinery and of labor. The wealth is not lost, it is true, but is withdrawn from immediate availability for useful purposes. Years ago a young colored boy named Douglass went to Europe and studied the violin under the celebrated Rapoldi, a pupil of the master Spohr. He returned to America; but what was there in America for a colored man who knew music and who knew it better than his white contemporaries? He could do little, but one thing he did do which bore fruit. He saw a little white boy trying to teach himself to play the fiddle. He taught this little boy and the boy is now David Mannes, director of the New York Music School Settlement. Is it not fitting that David Mannes should be the prime mover in the establishment of a music school for Negroes now conducted in this city by David Irwin Mannes? - The Crisis. We have had but little spring, and summer is now upon us. And we should not forget to make every preparation to buy a home, because, if a poor man has a chance to lay aside anything toward the purchase price of a home, it is in the summer time. For this is the season which brings to a lower ebb the cost of living. And thus he is enabled to lay aside a few dollars. And we hope that the saving made in this way will be applied on a home—Omaha Enterprise. Tom Kennedy and Carl Morris, "white hopes," who were once clamoring for Johnson's scalp, have retired to the "also ran" class. A newspaper speculation it has that Johnson himself intends retiring after July 4. but we are of the opinion the wish is father of the thought, for if Johnson wins on that date he has a $30,000 fight, win or draw, with Langford in London, says a dispatch.

Write him for full particulars and ask any question in relation to the excursion that occurs to you, and he will give prompt and satisfactory replies and assurances, and whatever else you may request, As the time is short, do not delay but write him at once. “GENESIS OF THE RAPE FIEND.” ‘The following editorial, from the Athens (O.) Daily Messenger of recent Gate, sent to The Gazette by Mr. E. C Berry of that city, is worthy of repro auction: “The rape fiend. Horrible! Whence came he? Not by chanee. He can be accounted for.

JUDGE MACK’S BLUNDER. ‘The establishment of a “jim-crow” ‘¥.M.C, A. and a “jim-crow” Y. W. C. ‘A. fu Cleveland and the organization of ‘2 Cleveland branch of the National As- sociation for the Advancement of Col- red People, was urged Monday after- noon by Judge Julian W. Mack, prest- Gent of the National Confererice of Charities and Correction at the meet ing of the Association held in En- gineers’ hall. It was a TREMENDOUS BLUNDER! Judge Mack forgot that he was in Cleveland and the’ north, and not in Washington, D. C., his home, and the south. The best ele- ment of Cleveland Afro-Americans WILL NEVER PERMIT the establish- ment of a “jim-crow” Y, M. C, A or a “fim-crow” Y. W. C. A. in this,city, because such class distinctions are ‘perniciously harmful in many ways, Particularly to our mixed public School system; as well as being a miserable insuit to the intelligence of the people of Cleveland, and a ridicu- lous parody on the boasted broadness of mind and heart of the CHRISTIAN whites of this community particularly. ‘There is no.more excuse for separate institutions of the kind for Afro-Amer feans than there is for the same for German-American, Irish-American and the various other classes of Americar people.

Chesnutt, one of Cleveland's three members of the association's advisory committee, read a paper to show that Cleveland Afro- Americans are being treated fairly and gave instances of many being selected for public life. Mr. Chesnutt also spoke AGAINST a “jim-crow” Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. President Thwing who presided over the meeting and the editor of The Gazette are the other two local members of the association's advisory committee. It was unfortu: nate that Judge Mack followed Mr. ‘Chesnutt, the only local person on the program, and equally unfortunate that the promoters of the meeting did not have a good strong speaker, a local member of the race, to follow Judge Mack and undo the great harm he has done the Afro-Americans of this com: munity. ‘Those in charge of the meeting should have been for more careful in their selection of speakers, and should aye permitted the local members of the association's advisory committee ‘some voice in the speaking and other ‘arrangements for the local meeting of Monday afternoon, and better rosults would have been obtained.

The reception in the church auditorium lasted from 7:30 to 9:30 p. m., when all were seated at the table in the Sunday School room. At the head sat Rev. R. Smith, who presided, while Rev.

Sissle's guest, was introduced to the banqueters. It was near midnight when the splendid social function came to a close. All of our local ministers were present except Revs. Bunday, Lowrey and Yewell. Boy W. Tibb's Recital. Nashville, Tenn.—May 24, Roy W Tibbs gave a piano recital in Memorial Chapel at Fisk University. He is a graduate of the musical department, but is now pursuing his study in the Oberlin conservatory of music. Without making any attempt at a critical analysis of the recital, it can be truly heard in that Chapel before and it is safe to predict that if all goes well Mr. Tibbs will, within a few years, be the foremost pianist of the race.

Chicago, Ill.—The 66 Colored delegates to the national Republican convention are the best treated guests in Chicago these days. Since their arrival life for them has been a round of festivities. They control the situation here absolutely. Their choice of united delegates either Taft or Roosevelt. They were divided on the temporary chairman vote, most of them siding with Root. Last night the Roosevelt men gave a banquet to them. As many more were favored with auto rides and a feast by the president's entertainers. After this week's festivities it is feared they will hate to go back to the simple southern life. Remembering Faces. Remembering faces is a gift, and one cultivated should it not be granted by nature. Many a kindly girl has been unfairly characterized as rude or haughty, just because, lacking this particular sort of memory, she has failed to recognize an acquaintance in business life such memory is an important asset and well worth the effort needed to acquire it. It took me some time to learn this, but the lesson was worth while.—Harper's Bazar. Her Plan. Caesar had told his wife she should be above suspicion.

The same day the body was found young Russell had a quarrel with some of his playmates. The authorities have reopened the investigation. A Lyncher Daniel A Parole.

He devoted his opening ad. ress to a defense of the Taft ad. ministeration. Here and there Root elicited a riple of applause, particularly when he touched upon the trust prosecutions of the Taft administration. Senator Root's tariff comment ‘evoked a little cheer. Predicting a Republican success in the fall elec- tion, he was given a hand of ap- plause, “We need not despair of American Institutions,” he said, and delegates and the meager crowd in the galleries cheered the sentiment roundly. Senator Root concluded his speech at 7:35 p, m. and was applacded. The formal appointment of the minor tem- Porary officials followed. Senator Root spoke in part as follows: Root Delivers Speech.

Hadley of “Missouri resumed his fight to replace 78 so-called steam rolicr dele- gates (Taft) with Roosevelt delegates. ‘Argument pro and con went on. It was the fight started. by the discontented Roosevelt men, who claim that they have been cheated. The oratory raged all day. Tickets called fcr forencon and afterncon ses- sions, but there was a continuous session. Two claims were made by the Hadley (Roosevelt) forces: “That 78 delegates seated by the national committee should be replaced by Roosevelt delegates and that the delegates in question on the floor should not be allowed to vote on the con- troversy. The test came on Wateon’s motion to table Deneen’s motion to refer the mat- ter to the credentials committee. The motion to table the motion was carried by a vote of 564 to S10—the Taft forces winning by a majority of 54. This meant that the contests were re- ferred to the credentials committee as the Taft men claimed they should be. Chairman Root ruled in favor of the Roosevelt. contention, that the contested delegates had ho right to vote on the fate of their own cases. “No man can be permitted,” sald Root in his ruling, “to vote upon the question of his own right to sit In the convention, But the rule does not disquality any dele: ‘gate whose name Is on the roll from vot: Ing for any other man's right or upon any other business pertaining to the con- Vention so long as he retains his seat.” After the contested delegates were re~ ferred to credentials committee, names of the committee on credentials, resolutions, fules and permanent organization were Hoot Chicago, M.—Under the leader. ship of Elihu Root the Taft forces, by a vote of 564 to 510, took command of the convention and referred the 78 contested seats to a strong Taft com: mittee on credentials. The Taft pro- gram was interrupted only once, and that was by a 40-minute demonstra- tion for Roosevelt which resulted like the other Roosevelt demonstrations, in nothing, ‘A motion to substitute the Roose: velt role for that made up by the na- tional committee was admitted, ar gued for three hours and defeated. Governor Hadley, who led the Roosevelt fight, tried every political machinery trick known. to him to keep the contested delegates from voting on thelr own cases. He failed in every instance. His original motion to substitute the roll was amended by James E. Watson, the Taft floor leader, so as to refer the matter to the committee on credentials. Governon Deneen moved to eliminate the contested delegates from voting on all cases. Watson moved to lay this last motion on the table, which brought the test vote of 564 to table, against 510 not to table, five not voting. The ordinary mat- ters were disposed of in short order and the whole affair was referred by a viva voce vote to the committee on credentials as at present constituted. This showing seemed to take the heart out of the Roosevelt forces. It demonstrated that they were unable to make any large breach in the Taft support. They were able to gain but eight votes over the vote which they cast the day before for Governor Mc- Govern of Wisconsin to be temporary chairman of the convention and this despite the fact that Wisconsin cast 26 votes for the Deneen amendment, While the day before she gave only 13 votes tor the election of MeGovern to the temporary chairmanship. ‘Tho Roosevelt men gained two votes in New York on the test, the New York yote on the Deneen amendment being 75 for and 15 against.

At times her shrill voice broke through a half {ull in the general hurrah, but no single sentence was intelligible to any one in the hall. Every general on both sides had sprung to his feet and come to the front of the stage. Many of the Taft men feared that this was the begin- ning of the long advertised Roosevelt vio.
