COLONEL AT LAST GETS DELEGATE COMMITTEE GIVES EX-PRESIDENT ONE IN KENTUCKY DISTRICT TAET MAKES CAIN OF SEVENTEEN Prssidsnt's Four Contested Delegates! At Largs From "Dark And Bloody Ground" Art Seated CHICAGO, June 11. One delegate ed him since the National committee began the contest cases last Friday and 17 for rrestdent Tatt were the net results of today session of tho Republican National committee. In all, 101 delegates have been ac corded the President since the com mittee began its hearings. The one placed today In the Roosevelt column was 1). C. Kdwards, from the Eleventh District of Kentucky. The Taft forces on the committeee refused by a vote of S3 to 14 to seat both the Roosevelt delegates whose places were contested, but agreed to a split, which gave Colonel Roosevelt and President Taft each one delegate from the district naif victory for Roosevelt came av the end of a day In which all of the other contests from Kentucky had been decided in President Taft'a fa vor. In one of these the Roosevelt men had acquiesced, In others they had mustered a vote ranging from 11 to 17 against the Taft decision. Senator Borah, the siost active Roosevelt figure in the committee, protested against the splitting of the Eleventh District delegation. There Is no justification for It," he declared. "If one Is given, both should be." Arthur I Vorys, of Ohio, had made the motion to seat the divided delega tion. John U. Capers, Senator Borah and Francis J. Heney led an effort to ad opt a substitute to seat both Roose velt men, but they could muster only ' 19 votes. The split delegation then wss seated unanimously. President Taft's four contested del egates at Urge from Kentucky, head ed by Senator Bradley, were seated with only 11 votes in the negative. The six from the First, Second and Tenth were given to Taft unanimous ly; the contest against the tw In the Fourth District was withdrawn, and live of the six from the Seventh, Eighth and Eleventh Districts were won against the votes of the Roose velt forces. COLONEL CERTAIN TO WIN, DECLARES AIDE CHICAGO, June 11. That Theo doreRo osevelt will be nominated on the first ballot at Chicago and that President Taft's own managers today admit that the president is a beaten man Is the declaration today of Gil son Gardner. Gardner, who is close to the former president and is said to be "on the inside" in the councils of his friends, sizes up the Chicago convention situation as follows: "Colonel Roosevelt will be nominat ed no matter what the National Re publican committee now In session, does in deciding contests. The Roose velt managers claim they are now as sured of enough delegates to put through their program even though the national committee puts through its steam roller program. i "This was the information which came today from the inner council of Roosevelt's managers. Iowa's 10 del egates, which are for Senator Cum mins, may swing into line on the first vote taken, which will be on the ques tion of organization. It is believed also that assurances have been re ceived that North Dakota will oppose its votes to the nomination of Elihn Root and the steam roller program of the national committee, Senator Kenyon of Iowa waa a visitor at the Roosevelt headquarters yesterday, and had a long private talk with Senator Dixon, the Roosevelt manager. It ia believed that Dixon received assur ances that Iowa would help, if nec essary, in rejecting the report of the credentials committee when that re port is put up to the naional conven tion. "The Roosevelt managers have their teeth set, and say they will not be defrauded of their representation in the Chicago convention by steam roller or any other methods. They will fight from the drop of the hat If necessary Roosevelt will come to Chicago. Probably he will come to Chicago. This will be determined as soon as the steam roller chauffeurs have got through their job." FAMILY OF 6 AND 2 VTLLISCA, la., June 10. Joseph Moore, a leading Vtllisca business man, bis wife and four children and two women, supposed to be Mrs. Van Gilder and her daughter, relatives of the Moores, were found murdered In their beds in the Moore home today. Their heads bad been crushed to a pulp. An ax, covered with blood and hu man hair, found in the house, Is sup posed to have been the instrument with which the crime was committed. There la no definite clew to the murd erer. Owing to the terrible mutilation of tiheir bodies the Identity of the two women could not be positively estab lished, but the Van Gliders are known to have teen visiting the Moores ye terday. and last night all attended an entertainment together, so it is felt cerain that the victims are the women No rtbbery was commited, and It eema clear that only desire for rtj venge could have prompted the murd er, unless the work wa done by a 50,000 SEE FLY FROM mHTLAn.

A crowd of 50,000 scattered along half a doien streets, lining the roofs of doi:ns of oliice buildings, and perched precariously at every avail able point of vantage, witnessed the nlomlid start of the daring young av- lutor. U. S. PLANS SCHOOL TO WASHINGTON, June 11 Warfare is to be ended for all time, at least so far as the United States Is concern ed, an J the standard of citiienship In this country is to be put on a higher plane than ever before by a course of study in good will which Is devised for the elementary schools through this country. Such at least, is the hope of those who have formulated the course. A complete outline of the topics covered In this new school sub ject is contained In a Government pub lication just issued for free distribu tion by the United States Bureau of Education. In the lower grades according to the Bureau of Education's monograph, the child is trained in habits of forebear ance, consideration, gentleness and Atr-nntml while in the lateY trades emphasis is laid upon the principles of the world-peace movement . Thus In the first grade the child learns the treatment he should give his companions and pets. The sec ond grade deals with home life, the third with school and play time, while the fourth takes up the home town or city. In grade five the course broad ens to Include a consideration of the whole country; in the sixth the child takes up good citizenship, in the sev enth he studies the world family, and in the last he learns what the larger patriotism means. In this way the child grows up In the understanding that the good will which he must show his friends and parents should also be extended to all the Inhabitants of the earth. He begins by learning that he must be kind to animals and playmates be cause he is in constant relations with" them: then be comes to understand that this nation should be at peace with all others because all nations are interdependent; and this finally leads to the last topic in the whole long course the united world.

TAFT AIDES HAKE BRIBERY CHARGE Mckinley says roosevelt men are trying to win BY FORCE TALK OF COLONEL BOLTING CROWS Leaders Anxious For Compromise Candidate To Cement Differ ences Between Two Fac tions In Party CHICAGO, June It Differences between Taft and Roosevelt leaders borne on a tide of charges of bribery, theft and other accusations, threaten ed tonight to precipitate decisive de velopments before the opening of the Republican National convention next Tuesday. Charges of corruption were made In a statement to the press given out to night by Director McKlnley, of the Taft bureau, which accuses Roosevelt managers of an effort to capture the convention by force Two sensational posslblltles were discussed In conference rooms, hotel corridors and party headquarters. The first was a bolt by Roosevelt forces and the organlxatlon of a progres sive" party if Taft is nominated. The bolt talk was ever present during the day and once in a meeting of Roose velt leaders rose to a point where Wil liam Kllnn ,of Pittsburg, who was pre siding, refused to let it go further. The second waa a compromise can didate. A number leaders declared that now It was beyond question to expect the Tatt or Roosevelt people to abide by the nomination of the oth er candidate. The situation was crystallzed to a great degree by the action of the Na tional committee in the contest hear inn nnrilcularlv the California case. The Roosevelt men insisted they could expect nothing for their candidate at the hands of the ruling Taft majority in the committee and condemned with increasing bitterness the work of that body. Whether Colonel Roosevelt would come to Chicago and what effect his coming would have upon the situation came up at almost every turn of the endless discussions and arguments Nearly all agreed that the arrival of Colonel Roosevelt would bring the sit uation to a climax, but the final out come of such an event waa disputed.

However, prepara tions are being made for sending sup plies to the' stricken district although it will be necessary to wait for the government to supply funds. C. H. Buschmann. general manager Northwestern Fisheries company cab led from Seward stating: "Little damage' has been done at Uyak and operations continuing as usual.'

He returned to Sew ard. The agent of the Alaska Coast company at Valdez cabled headquart ers here: i "Send steamship Admiral Sampson to KoJiak, as supplies will be required Send ner also to Uyak, although that port has been little affected. Seldo via, Port Graham and all other ports on our route are all right with excep tion of slight fall of ashes. The gov ernment will require tug Printer and barge St James for an Indefinite per iod."

"At Intervals some of us would be taken out of the cells and, for no cause that we could discover, beaten, choked and kicked. Every vile epi thet that a depraved mind could Im agine was applied to us. Chief of De tectives Joe Meyers was particularly brutal.
