Chicago, June 22. "Non-participation,'
Is the plan of the Roosevelt
men in the national convention, re

leaders declare they will fight no

they will not be bound by the actions

Following a meeting with 80 Roose

in which he charged a majority of
the national committee, under direc

President Taft, had been guilty of
fraud in selecting Taft delegates and
expressed the hope that Roosevelt
would not vote In the convention. He
said If they did, be hoped they would
vote for him.

decided to present no minority report

MUCH CRITICISM EXPRESSED
OTEB BOYD'S CLTIMATE DEFEAT
Brace Dennis Tells of Election of Na
tionul Committeeman From Orgon
Wherein Boyd of Enterprise Is Fin.
ally Ousted, Even to the Chairman,
ship of Delegation.
- ' (By Bruce Dennis.)
Chicago June 22. With the steam
roller tactics and the weight of Taft's
administration behind him, R. E. Wil
liams today deposed Daniel Boyd of
Enterprise as national committeeman
from Oregon and elected himself.
Boyd was fairly and squarely elected
by the delegation two days ago, great
ly to the disappointment of Williams
who since then has been using every
federal pressure possible to get a re
consideration of the vote. Today Hale
joined Williams and another election
was ordered which resulted In not on
ly deposing Boyd as national com
mitteeman but also as chairman of
the delegation which place he has
filled until today. Boyd, Swift, Coe
and Ackerson refused to vote at the
Williams caucus of the delegation.
Bitter feeling prevails among the
Oregon' ten. .
.. Harett words were spoken and for a
line It .v.'ted as"though something
-'. t-i happen. Friendsships are
vi.--.. lpen accusation of dls
; r, ' pledges on the part of
;..'-"- !,asey, Smith, Bynon and
-.. ,s freely made. : ;
Taft will be nominated today un
less Barnes, Penrose and Crane can
find a way to nominate a dark horse.
They do not want Taft but are afraid
to desert blm tor fear the convention
will go to pieces and nominate Colo
nel Roosevelt. ..
" Roosevelt men will not bolt, but at
present It is believed they will not
cast a vote for any presidential can
didate,, thereby, relieving them of the
odium of being pi"rtMslto"t'e work
of the national eorajp'tte and; legal
ly elected delegates'. " ' "

When Caught by Train en Tressle, He
i Leaps to Bottom ef Ravine. "'
A wild leap ot 40 feet from atree
sle to tho rocky ravine below yester
day morning saved the life of a Bul
garian, Mike Gerole, when he escaped
death by being struck by - a train
through a mad leap' into apace. He
was crossing a tressle near Kamela
when a train suddenly glided near
and without time to run back or save
hiuiBelf In Any - other way, he leaped
to the bottom of the cut. The fall
to the rocky bottom injured him some
but be will live. He was ruBhed to
La Grande for treatment and It was
found that aside from a few internal
Injuries, a sprained and bruised wrist
and ankle, he Is all sound. ; The Jump
stands as amlraculous escape for
the premeditated leap would have
killed nine out of ten men, say the
trainmen who saw him jump;'

Baltimore, June 22. Fear that W.

the conservative camtoday.
Many scoffed at tbje fear. They de
