Colonel W. F. Stone, sergeant-at-arms of the Re publican National committee, appeal ed tonight to Mayor Harrison for po lice protection at tomorrow's sessions of the committee, which is conducting contest hearings, in the Coliseum. Chief McWeeney decided to detail po lice and plain clothes men, as request ed. Colonel Stone's action, he said, was promoted by reports that certain Roosevelt leaders had prepared to take steps to intimiuSte the membership of the committee in it? deliberations. Other members of tn? committee, including Colonel Harry S. ?few, ot Indiana; Senator Crane, of MassaclJU cetts ,and Senator Sander, of Tennes see, said they had heard the reports of a planned Roosevelt demonstration at the committee-room during - the hearings. "There will be no 'rough-house' in the committee," said Colonel Stone. "Neither will any demonstration be permitted on the outside of the Colis eum. Drastic measures will be adopt ed if anything of the kind is attempt ed. I have asked for police protection at the committee hearings." It was said that the reference to "rough-house" methods were aimsd at William Flinn, of Pittsbury, who is headed this way after a conference with Colonel Roosevelt at Oyster Bay and is said to be charged with an im portant and confidential mission. . "Such a report as this," said Colon el New, "seems incredible. Certainly no one is foolish enough to believe anything can be gained for a cause by the adoption of such methods. And surely no one who knows the mem-1 bers of the National Committee is go- i ing to be bluffed or terrorized by. any I mob or set of thugs that can be must-' ered. ! "Mind you I don't believe that any thing of that sort "will be attempted, as surely someone in the crowd has intellect enough to head off anything of the sort if any misguided individ ual should attempt it.' - 24 DELEGATES ARE ADDED TO TAFT LIST CHICAGO, June 7. Twenty-four delegates from Alabama and Arkan sas were added today to the Taft col umn by action of the Republican Na tional committee upon the so-called Roosevelt contests from those states. All the contests presented today be fore the committee were decided in Taft's lavor, and in all except two the decisions of the committee was unan imous, although one rollcall test ap parently had shown 15 anti-Taft votes. The cases decided were those of the six delegates at large and the two ach in the First, Second, Fifth, Sixth and Ninth Congressional Districts in Alabama and the four delegates at large and two each in the First and Second Districts of Arkansas. - iVe ail admire a live one, you can pick them from the Enterprise adver tisers.

CONGRESSMAN CALLS WASHINGTON, June 7. Charging that Judge Cornelius H. Hanford, of the United States district court of Washington state, is an "habitual drunkard and morally and tempera mentally unfit to hold a judicial posi tion," Congressman Victor L. Berger of Wisconsin introduced a resolution in the house today directing the com mittee on judiciary to investigate his charges and if substantiated to recom mend Hanfori's impeachment When the resolution was referred to the committee Berger arose on a question of highest privilege and entered into a scathing arraignment of the Seattle jurist. He said in part: "I accuse Judge Hanford of being an habitual drunkard. I charge that he annulled, on May 13, in violation of the constitution, the naturalization papers of Leonard Oleson, a citizen of Tacoma. I charge that he issued in a collusive suit of August Peabody against the Seattle, Denton & South ern railway, in August, 1911, an in junction in the interests of the com pany and against the interests of the citizens of Seattle, flagranly violating justice and law. I charge that he is morally and temperamently unfit to hold judicial position. I charge him with having been guilty of long ser ies of unlawful and corrupt decisions." Berger's resolution directs the com mittee, to report if Judge Hanford "has been repeatedly in a drunken condi tion while presiding in court; wheth er he has been guilty of corrupt con duct in office; whether his administra tion has resulted in injury and wrong to litigants and others and whether he is guilty of misbeliavior for w-hich he should be impeached."

A newspaper was found in the Wehrman cabin Thursday, September .7, when the premises were first ex amined.

Monell, of Fourteenth and Washington streets died Friday night following an opera tion for appendicitis. Miss Monell ap parently was in good health Thursday having called upon several of her friends in the business section of the city. ,The young woman was stricken shortly before noon Friday, and her condition became so serious it was de cided that the only chance of saving her life was an immediate operation. She was taken to the Oregon' City Hos pital and operated upon at 5 o'clock. She did not rally and died at 10:30 o'clock. Miss Monell was one of the most popular girls in the city. She was a member of the Freshman class of the High School the past year and had been promoted to the Sophomore class.

Somewhat, But Show Will Be One Of Best Ever Held That the rose show festivities today will surpass all previous ones is as sured. O. E. Freytag, Manager of the Promotion Department of the Com mercial Club, said Friday night that everything was in readiness for the great carnival, and that the program would be carried out to the letter. De lightful weather is promised today by the forecaster, although there may be a shower or two. There was a delight ful change in the temperature last ev ening when the city was cooled by a brisk wind from the South, which is usually a harbinger of showers, but not enough rain is expected to damp en the ardor of the management of the festival or the thousands of persons from all parts of Clackamas and Mult nomah counties who will be in attend- ance. Mrs. A. C. Warner, president of the Clackamas County Rose Society, an nounced that the extreme heat of Thursday and Friday has played hav oc with some of the choicest blossoms in the city, and that intending exhib itors who do not have as fine speci mens as others have usually exhibit ed need not be alarmed over the com petition. "The condition of the roses is such," said Mrs. Warner, "that every grower has an equal chance to win the hand some prizes that have been offered, and the officers of the Rose Society urge everyone to bring their exhibits to Busch's hall early Saturday morn ing. We have fears that the exhibits of the finest roses will not be large and we hope that every grower will make a display. Premium lists may be obtained from any of the officers of the Rose Society."
