CHICAGO, June 17. Two con
ventions In the sume hall now seems
the inevitable outcome of the Repub
lican convention which opens liere
tomorrow. All talk of a compromise
candidate upon whom the progres
sives and Taft men could unite was
shattered today. The Taft leaders
decided that they still hold control
of the situation. They accept the as
surance of Win. Barnes, Jr., that he
has votes enough to elect thu tem
porary chairman.
ltiMi.M'velt Claims lli Margin.
Senator Dixon at noon today issued
a statement claiming Roosevelt's
nomination on the first ballot by a
margin of 4 2 votes. Dixon also as
serted that the Roosevelt men will
control a larger majority than that
on the organization of the convention.

go right ahead with their program,
wnien is to nominate uooseveii ami
adopt a progressive program and
platform.
A big fight Is expected over the
temporary roll ot delegates. The
Roosevelt men say they will never
accept the National committee's roll.
They will challenge It and offer a
substitute.
The majority of the National com
mittee today sent defiant word to
Roosevelt that they would make the
temporary roll prepared by the N:
tional committee the roll ot the con
vention. Roosevelt demanded of
Chairman Koaewater that only dele
gates of uncontested credentials be
permitted to vote on the temporary
organization, but this was turned j
down. j
During the forenoon a report was
circulated that the Cummins delega
tion from Iowa will unite with the
Taft forces on organization of the
convention and vote with them to
accept the temporary roll. After this
they will break and attempt to pre
vent Taft's nomination. This trade
is reported to be the result of certain
concessions to the Cummins people
in the matter of the permnnent or
ganization. This would probably
cinch the National committee's pro
gram. It Is reported that the Virginia dele
gation, counted solidly for Taft, to
day voted unanimously against the
selection of Root for -temporary chair
man and also against permitting the
delegates seated in the contested
cases lo vote on their holding their
own places by affirming the tempor
ary convention roll, as arranged by
the National committee.
Two of the five negro delegates
from (leorgia. claimed by the Roose
velt men as deserting Taft. today as
sured Congressman McKinley that
they will vote for Taft. They are Ed.
Stoilt and Lincoln Johnson.
Outlines Roosevelt's IMntfonn.
The initiative, referendum and re
call, as Federal propositions demand
ing platform delineation, were turned
down bv Colonel Roosevelt In a ten
tative draft of the platform prepared
bv the Roosevelt forces. These propo
sitions bv the progressive Western
states have therefore . been left out,
being mentioned in only a general
wav Thev are endorsed but the en
dorsement'is weak. The direct elec
tion of IT. S. Senators, nnd Presiden
tial piimnrvs are endorsed. The
question of direct legislation was held
to be one for the states themselves
to decide.

Official Inquiry
ADAMS DEAD. GRAF IMPROVES
Letters of Deserted Husband Show He
Planned Murder and Suicide
Verdict Tomorrow
John W. Adams, shot by lien Hard-
tnan at Reston last Friday, after
Adams had shot at llardman and
Paul Graf, wounding the Intter. died
at .Mercy Hospital, West Roseburg,
last Miturday night, about 7:30 o-
clock. Shortly before noon today
Coroner Jewett began a formal In
quest Into Adams' death and at the
same hour the corpse was borne to
the county cemetery and given burial.
The Jury empanelled by Coroner
Jewett for the inquest consists of
W. C. Harding, C. D. Shoemaker, G
P. Schlosser, N. Rice, S. J. Jones, II
L. Marsters.
After listening to the testimony of
several witnesses, the Jury adjourned
at 2:45 o'clock tills afternoon until
tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, when
two more witnesses will be cnlled.
These are Deputy Sheriff Stewart,
who Is temporarily absent front the
city, and Charles Archainbeau, the
Roseburg-Reston Btage driver to
whom Adams is alleged to have made
threats to kill.
Gi-uf Recovering.
Graf Is apparently on the road to
complete recovery from the bullet
wound through his right breast. On
Sunday Doctor George E. Houck went
to the Hardiuan, home at Reston,
where the injured man lies, and ex
tracted the 38-callber revolver bullet
from near Graf's right shoulder blade,
wbero it had lodged against the skin.
The ball did little damage In its
passage through the upper part of
the lung, and unless an inflammatory
condition develops, which is not now
probable, Graf will get entirely well.
Owing to the uncertainty of such
cases, however. District Attorney
Brown took the precaution to secure
a statement from Graf. He accnm
panted Dr. Houck to Keston Sunday
and Interrogated tho wounded man as
he lay In bed. Graf's story, reduced
to writing, was Introduced at the
Inquest. It adds nothing materially
to what has previously I n published
but It gives a number or interesting
details of minor importance. The
District Attorney also questioned Mrs.
Graf, who chained to be an eye wit
ness of the shooting ot her husband.
She was among those called lo the
Inquest to testily.
Mrs. Graf Gels Urol lier's Itlfle.
Grafs narrative of lltn shooting
'corroborated the explanation given by
llnrdniiiii lust Friday night that the
tragedy was ushered In by a quarrel
provoked by Adams' Insistence thai
his wife, formerly Mrs. Rllla Nelson,
was being secreted from him by the
llardman family. Working In tin
garden, 30 feet distant, Mrs. Graf,
attracted by the sound of shots from
Adams' revolver and seeing her hus
band fall, ran Into the house, secured
lien tlardmnn's rifle and handed It to
Hen, just as he readied the porch.
When Hardiuan turned back Adams
was In full flight Ihrougl orchard.
Graf regained his feet arter being
shot down nnd staggered to the
house. I'pnn reaching the porch he
collapsed and lell Into his wire's

the neighborhood of being a dead
Bhot was well deserved. The second
ind fatal shot from his .351 caliber j
Winchester wns fired at a range of:
13S yards. The difficulty of hitting'
the human tarket was even further,
lucreased by the fact that the fugl-
could move and he was in a stooping
position. I
An examination of Adams' body
arter his death showed that he was
also struck by the first shot fired by
llardman, which wbb at a distance
of 102 yards. The bullet clipped off
part of the unit ot his left t nil in I).
Dropping his revolvers at the spot
where he was shot the second time,
Adams ran about 20 feet to one side,
where he drained part ot the con
tents of his flask of whiskey. Then
he crawled 21 yards further, where
Charles Forkum, a searcher, found
him an hour later. Not knov.-lng that
Adams was without bis revolvers,
Forkum did not go near the wounded
man. Instead, he got llardman, who
level his rifle nt Adams and received
a handkerchief slgnnl In token of sur

Ilefore ho was found, Adams tore
Into small bits a letter which he had

for the discovery of this fact. Mrs.

That Adams planned murder nnd
suicide Is unmistakably shown in Hub-tiers
which he wrote nnd then nt
templed to destroy. It developed this
ariernoon that two lellers, Inslead of
one, were found burled at Reston,
and III addition to these a third was
read from the witness stand before
the coroner's Jury. The oilier two,
which were torn up by Adiims, are
being put together by Charles For
cum, who found Adams after he was
shot, and will be read lo the Jury to
morrow. Though the task bad not
been completed by Forciim nt the
time or adjournment of the inquest,
It had progressed far enough to
show Adams' evil Intent. Those two
letters, written on the stationery ot
the lloffiiinn House or Eugene, un
dated June 13, 1!I12. One of them.
Intended for an after-oxpliiniitlnti or
