CROWDS DISTURB
CHICAGO'S CALM
There Is Din of Drums and
Marching Men, But No Old
Time Fervor.
PROMINENT MEN ARRIVE
Judge Williams on Hand With Ore
gon's Quota M. II. De Young
Heads California Delegation.
Hunting Vice - Presidents.
CHICAGO, June 14. With flaps fly
ing, bands playing and crowds singing,
the usual Sunday calm of Chicago gave
way today to the many noisy demon
strations which usher In a National
Convention. State delegations and
marching clubs slow in arriving passed
Into the city throughout the day, and
there was incessant din of brass bands,
marching men and exploding fun. The
broad lake front, along which the
headquarters of candidates and state
delegations are located, was besieged
by the incoming throngs, which choked
the hotel lobbies, overflowed into the
streets and mingled with the groups
of curious onlookers on the broad plaza
fronting Lake Michigan.
Ideal Summer Day.
It was an ideal Summer day, with
bright skies and a cool breeze from the
lake, which gave better promise of
good convention weather than yester
day. But despite the Inrush of stran
gers, there was an undercurrent of
feeling that the multitude was not as
great and the enthusiasm was not as
feverish as in times past. It was ob
served that some of the arriving state
delegations were limited to a strict
business basis, without the usual quota
of strong-lunged shouters. This
brought the cancellation of hotel rooms
in goodly numbers, until some of the
large hotels threatened legal proceed
ings for this unexpected diminution of
revenues. But to the veterans of con
vention battles, the decrease of lung
power among the arrivals promised the
more orderly and business-like conven
tion that had often been wished during
the tumultuous proceedings of the
past.
Oregon's Grand Old Man.
Although many important confer
ences were held during the day on can
didates and platform, the chief interest
continued to center on the arriving del
egations with their distinguished per
sonnel, and the noisy demonstration
which greeted them.
The Californlans came at noon, headed
by M. H. DeYoung, chairman of the del
egation. With tltem were the delegates
from Oregon, Including the venerable
George H. Williams, Atorney-General in
the Grant Cabinet, now white-haired and
85, but still a lusty delegate-at-large.
ready to make a speech seconding the
nomination of Secretary Taft, and also
the men from Idaho. '
The Pennsylvanians were reinforced by
two more detachments, one with bands
and banners and 200 marchers, and
another with Congressman John Dalzell,
who hails from the heart of the steel re
gion and is counted upon to see that
tariff revision does not trench too strong
ly on the traditions of protection. The
Hawaiian delegates, six in all, brought
their wives, dainty creatures with brown
faces and shrinking manner.
Can't Locate John D. Long.
When the Massachusetts delegation ar
rived there was widespread regret that
the veteran figure of Massachusetts pub
lic life. ex-Governor John D. Long, was
not among the number, having surren
dered his place as delegate-at-large to an
alternate. The ex-Governor had taken
an independent part in having the Mas
sachusetts men come without instructions,
and this had held out a prospect of in
teresting developments when Massachu
setts made her choice for President and
Vice-President. The delegations from
Iowa, Montana, Virginia, Maine, Vermont.
New Hampshire and New Mexico, in
whole or in part, were among those to ar
rive during the day.
The coming of the California delegation
has usually been accompanied by the dis
play of some of her choicest vintage and
her fruits but this year the traditional
policy was not observed, to the regret of
many.
Sacred Concert by Cannon's Band.
Among other prominent arrivals were
Senator Carter, of Montana, and Gov
ernor Stewart, of Pennsylvania, Seth
Low, of New York, was expected, but
he will not arrive until tomorrow. Just
as the New York delegation holds its
lirst caucus, which may throw a new
light on the Presidential situation. '
The headquarters of the Presidential
candidates were full of activity through
out the day. From the verandah of the
Cannon headquarters a band performed
a sacred concert with occasional lapse
into the enlivening strains of "Hail Co
lumbia," and much rag-tme.
The Taft headquarters had the usual
throng of visitors, but the formal opening
was still deferred until the arrival of
the Ohio delegation tomorrow when the
real enthusiasm will be touched off. The
Fairbanks headquarters were radiant with
flowers and filled with ladies who ac
companied the Indiana party. Con
spicuous among the Fairbanks workers
was George Ade, the author-delegate,
who a few years ago was reporting the
sensatonal gatherings for the news
papers. The Knox headquarters had its
full share of excttement with two bands
and two marching clubs.
Sioux Indians From Pine Ridge.
Among the interesting groups to visit
the headquarters was a band of Sioux
Indians from the Pine Ridge Agency
who had come on under the care of an
agent to see the mysteries of the
choice of a "great father."
But while these scenes were going
on before the eyes of all, the more im
portant work of preparation on the
platform was being gone over at pri
vate conferences in the upper chambers
of the hotels, where few were admitted
and little was made known. One of
the chief conferences of the day was
on the platform, and while this was
rather informal it brought about the
clear understanding that the document
was already drafted in accordance with
the views of the President and Mr.
Taft and would go before the conven
tion in substantially its present form.
Stand Pntters Still Active.
A goodly representation of the ways
and means committee of the House of
Representatives is likely to be on the
platform committee, including Repre
sentative Payne, of New York, and Mr.
L'alzell, of Pennsylvania, and their
colleague, until he was removed to the
Senate, Senator Hopkins. This strong
tariff element In the platform commit
tee will probably bring about some
consideration of the details of when
the work of tariff revision will be
taken up by Congres3, but it is not
likely to vary the plans already ma
tured for conservative revision.
The financial plank is also considered
outside the bounds of serious contro
versy and the main provisions subject
to revision are those relating to the-"anti-lnjunction"
plank urged by Mr.
Gompers and that relating to railroad
regulation. It is now generally conceded
that Senator Hopkins will be chairman
of the platform committee, the only
doubt being as to whether the Illinois
delegation will select him as a mem
ber of that committee, but the senti
ment of the delegation tonight was that
the choice which will be made tomorrow
will fall upon Mr. Hopkins.
Dolliver's Boom Growing.
The Vice-Presidential contest continues
to be the most enlivening feature of the
preliminary work, and the delegates are
as much in doubt tonight as at any time
since the contest began. The Dolliver
element appears to be making the
greatest advance, and this gave rise to
the reports that the Dolliver movement
was now assured of success. The friends
of other candidates were far from ad
mitting this, and began maturing plans
for decisive action.
A call for a caucus for the New York
delegation was issued for 11 o'clock to
morrow. This Is expected to develop the
strength of the various New York names,
Sherman, Woodruff, Cortelyou and pos
sibly Low. Informal advices appear to
make Woodruff the favorite numerically
in his own delegation. But the outside
influence, including that of the Congres
sional element from many parts of the
country is strong upon the New Yorkers
to make Sherman their choice.
The availability of Seth Low appeals to
the New York delegates at large, owing
to his position as trustee of the Tuskegee
Negro Institute and his recent work at
the head of the Civic Federation In seek
ing to reconcile the issues between labor
and capital. But outside of the dele
gates at large, Mr. Low has not de
veloped any noticeable strength. The
various other Vice-Presidential candi
dates continue to fie urged with varying
degree of enthusiasm and the uncertainty
brings forth a list of new names, which
is constantly growing.
FtXTOX SLATED FOR PLACE
Favorably Considered as Chairman
of Credentials Committee.
CHICAGO. June 14. It was an
nounced at the Taft headquarters here
today that United States Senator Wll
iam Warner, of Missouri, will be
chosen chairman of the convention
committee to make notification of the
Presidential nominee of his election
by the convention; that. ex-Governor
John F. Hill, of Maine, would be pre
ferred to head the convention com
mittee on permanent organization and
that United States Senator Charles W.
Fulton, of Oregon, was being most
favorably considered for the chairman
of the credentials committee.
The selections depend, of course,
upon the success of the plans of the
Taft forces to organize the convention
and are regarded as indicating the
confidence felt in that quarter that
their strength predominates.
The selection of Senator Warner to
head the notification committee is re
garded as of more than passing: polit
ical importance. The Senator is past
commander-in-chief of the Grand Army
bf the Republic, a veteran who saw
service throughout the Civil War, and
represents a doubtful state. Senator
Warner Is a close and personal friend
and admirer of the Secretary of War
and should the convention fulfill the
ambition of that official the address
apprising him of that fact would un
doubtedly contain expressions intended
to clear the atmosphere of any sugges
tion of clouds which may have been in
the horizon since the Secretary's Me
morial day address at Grant's tomb in
New York. ,
The credentials committee chairman
chip is a matter requiring and receiv
ing most careful consideration. Senator
Fulton's availability Is recognized from
many points of view. He Is not only
entirely familiar with each of the con
tested cases, before the National com
mittee, but he also heads a delegation
which comes to the convention without
a single contest. Beside this, his ap
pointment would be extending to the
Northwest one of the delicate compli
ments of the convention.
TURN HUGHES' VOTES TO TAFT
After First Ballot Xew York Plans
to Help Secretary.
CHICAGO. June 14. General Stewart
L. Woodford, head of the New York State
delegation at large, is said to be prepared
to move that the nomination of Taft be
made unanimous in the event of his se
lection by the convention, and provided
the uninstructed men In the New York
State delegation, a'.l of them regarded as
Taft men. shall have voted for Hughes on
the first ballot. That being done, there
would apparently be no obstacle, they
claim, to the casting of New York's 78
votes for a New York man for Vice-President.
It is upon this man that the vari
ous Interests "are trying tonight to agree.
Hughes' name will be presented to the
convention. It will not be withdrawn, ac
cording to General Woodford, who said
today:
"The New York State Convention unan
imously instructed our delegates at large
to present the Governor's name to the
National Republican Convention as the
candidate of New York for the Presi
dency and directed us to use all honor
able means to secure his nomination. We
have accepted the trust and shall present
his name."
Strong efforts are being made to har
monize the New York State situation so
as to Secure a united vote of the state,
first, for Uovernor Hughes for President,
and after ; that for a 'candidate for the
Vice-Presidency from New York State.
Work continued until far Into the night
in the effort to get the New York dele
gation into harmony on the Vice-Presidential
question. Ex-Representative Lit
tauer. who is regarded as leader of the
Sherman advocates, confirmed the belief
that they would not present the matter
In any formal way until the Hughes can
didacy for the Presidency had been dis
posed of.
WILL SEAT SPEER FACTION
Colorado Democrats to Declare Pat
terson Contingent Irregular.
GLENWOOD SPRINGS. Colo., June
14. The real interest in the Demo
cratic State Convention, which con
venes here tomorrow to elect 10 dele
gates to the National Convention at
Denver, centers in the fight of the con
testing delegations from Denver. The
adoption of ironclad resolutions bind
ing Colorado's delegation to vote for
William J. Bryan for the Presidential
nomination, is a foregone conclusion,
as no other name Is being" mentioned
In this regard. The Denver contest
will be fought out in the credentials
committee, according to State Chair
man Milton Smith, who, together with
a majority of the committee, several
months ago decided that the delegation
supported by Mayor Speer was regular,
and that ex-United States Senator Pat
terson's contingent was irregular. He
says that 40 out of 58 members of the
State Committee favor placing the
Speer contingent on the temporary roll
call. The Star brewery's famous Hop Gold

FIGHT CERTAIN
OVER PLATFORM
Strong Pressure for Modifica
tion but Taft Forces Will
Stand Firm to Bitter End.
ROOSEVELT KEEPING TAB
Predictions Made That Party's
Declaration of Principles Will Go
Through, Word for Word, as
Approved by the President.
CHICAGO. June 14. Pressure for
platform modification increased today
to such an extent that the Taft forces
plainly see a contest in the resolu
tions in the convention which prom
ises to be both tenacious and prolonged.
This pressure has so far only increased
the determination of those directing
the Taft movement 'to assume a more
unyielding attitude.
"If we are to have Taft for the can
didate we are going to have a Taft
platform," Is the ultimatum.
This platform, as it is well known,
has been written. It is in the custody
of Wade Ellis, Attorney-General of
Ohio, who has taken up his headquar
ters for the convention at the Audi
torium Annex. Every plank of this
platform is declared to have received
the most detailed and weighty atten
tion and the prediction is made that
every plank will remain in the docu
ment and in the language in which it
is now expressed with some possible
changes in verbiage.
Roosevelt Watches E-very Move.
However stern may be the declara
tion against modification, there is not
the slightest disposition to refuse to
listen to those who want revision, and
this has been the task of Mr. Ellis
throughout the day. Incidentally, it
may be stated that both President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft have
been kept informed minutely as to
the developments.
The platform contains an expression of
the belief that a more liberal rule should
be adopted by the courts in applying tke
injunction process in labor disputes. This
plank is not liked by some members of
the party. The elimination of any ex
pression on the subject would meet with
their hearty approval.
President Van Cleave of the National
Manufacturers' Assqciation today urged
the rejection of the injunction plank
with great earnestness. His arguments
were listened to by Mr. Ellis, who called
Senator Long, of Kansas, into confer
ence. The plank was favored by Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, who was later given
an opportunity to be heard. It may be
stated on authority that this plank will
not be changed with the consent of Sec
retary Taft.
Gompers Gets Ellis' Ear.
Mr. Gompers, as a result of the con
ference of the officials of his organiza
tion Just concluded here, also presented
to Mr. Ellis definite proposals intended
to pledge the party to future action which
would free labor organizations from the
legal designation and responsibility of
trusts.
Another point of issue is on the plank
which sets forth the benefits that would
accrue to the country through Federal
supervision or inspection of the issuance
of stocks and bonds of the corporations
doing an interstate business. This plank
makes it possible for the declared rep
resentatives of tiie corporations t make
dire predictions as to the result of the
election if the plank Is allowed to remain,
but it will not be disturbed.
There is in the platform a declaration
in the Interest of the Philippines which
expresses the belief that good would come
from an arrangement which would per
mit of the free interchange of commodi
ties between the far eastern dependencies
and the United States with a restriction
that such interchange shall not be al
lowed to adversely affect any industry,
such for instance, as sugar and tobacco.
Favor Postal Savings Banks.
Senator Carter today conferred with the
framers of the platform on the advisabil
ity of incorporating a plank In advocacy
of postal savings banks, with the result
that he received practical assurance that
it would be inserted. Some of the bank
ing interests are opposing the declaration,
but it is believed to afford the best off
set for the Democratic suggestion for
guarantee of bank deposits. The Presi
dent and Secretary Taft have both in
dorsed the savings bank idea.
With these and other expressions of pol
icy which are for the first time becoming
known to the "opposition" Interest In the
document is increasing, but as the fram
ers of the document are determined in
their attitude there is prospect of a fight
on the floor of the convention.
POWERS WELCOMED HOME
Crowds Greet Him and Escort Car
riage to Courthouse.
BARBOURSVILLE. Ky June H. The
news that Caleb Powers had been par
doned by Governor Willson spread rapidly
through the country and large crowds col
lected at the stations of Pennington Gap,
Mlddlesboro. Pineville and other points
through which the train passed today.
Mr. Powers reached out of the window of
the Pullman car and shook hands with
thousands of friends.
At Artemus, where Powers used to live,
the train was met by a committee of 150
citizens. Friends hurried him to a car
riage where his mother and sister were
waiting to receive him, and the proces
sion started for the Court House headed
by a brass band that played a stirring
march.
A committee escorted Powers within
the Court House, and within a few min
utes the large room was packed. Here
Mr. Powers delivered an address, prin
cipally lauding hts old friends for their
loyalty and explaining the causes that led
to his arrest, conviction and pardon.
REFUSES. TO CUT SALARIES
Philippine Assembly Proposes to
Hold Fast to AH Sinecures.
MANILA. June 15 After many ex
tended and apparently hopejess con
ferences, the Insular Commission and
the Philippine Assembly have finally ar
rived at an agreement upon the general
appropriation bill, which, it is believed,
both the Commission and the assembly
will ratify. The compromise measure ap
propriates 16.800.000 pesos, the assembly
making a concession of nearly 1,500.600
pesos. The appropriations agreed upon
in the bill are practically the same as
the actual expenditures last year. The
Commission declined to assent to the
reduction In salaries and the consolida
tion of some of the bureaus as proposed
by the assembly. The personnel of the
various bureaus and departments remains
unchanged.

SPOILS FOR TAFT MEN
Desperate Efforts of Enemies to
Control National Committee, De
cide Taft Forces to Enjoy
Fruits of Their Labors.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 14. Senator Murray Crane,
of Massachusetts, general manager of
the "allies" at Chicago, will not be
chosen as permanent chairman of the
Republican National convention, nor as
chairman of the new Republican Na
tional Committee. Both offices Will go
to unquestioned Taft men. The Taft
forces gained control of the committee
by dint of hard work, and they propose
to enjoy the fruits of their labor. They
will also control the National convention
and will select as presiding officer a
man in harmony with their views and in
harmony with their candidate.
The anti-Taft crowd worked very hard
to gain control of the National commit
tee and it was their avowed purpose,
had they done so, to throw out the con
tested Taft delegates and to seat con
testees unfriendly to the Secretary of
War. They did not intend to settle the
contests' on their merits, but had planned
to ride rough-shod over the Taft men.
Could they have carried out their pro
gramme, they would have made it very
difficult for Taft to have secured the
nomination.
Roosevelt Had His Coat Off.
There was but one thing that might
have blocked their game had the "allies"
dominated the National committee. At
the first sign of dirty work on their part.
President Roosevelt would have gone to
Chicago and would have taken action
which would have routed tfie "allies"
and forced them to recognize merit in all
the contested cases. Two months ago,
when it was believed the anti-Taft men
had control of the committee, the Presi
dent thought seriously of going to Chi
cago, and it was not until Taffs
strength developed that he finally aban
doned the idea.

were outnumbered In the National com

mittee, they wanted to "compromise"."
They would not have compromised had
they been in the majority. Nevertheless
they set up the cry that there should be
party harmony, and in the name of har
mony they asked the Taft crowd to give
them recognition. The designation of
Crane as chairman of the new National
Committee was what they wanted as a
peace offering from the Taft crowd. It
evidently did not strike them as- absurd
to place the management of the Taft
campaign in the hands of a man who
has been fighting Taft, tooth and nail,
ever since the Secretary announced his
candidacy for the Republican nomina
tion. Spoils Go to Taft Men.
That Taft dominated the Republican
National Committee and will dominate
the convention was due in no degree to
the efforts of Murray Crane or his sym
pathizers. Taft's victory was gained in
spite of the opposition of Crane and the
allies. Having demonstrated his ability
to defeat them, Taft will not entertain
the suggestion from the ally camp. He
believes in helping those who helped him.
Taft does not want Crane for chairman
of the National Committee, and the fact
th3t the new committee will be favorable
to Taft is sufficient guarantee that Crane
will not be chosen. McKlnley wanted
Hanna for chairman and got him. Roose
velt wanted Cortelyou, and Cortelyou
was elected against the wish of a ma
jority of the committee. The chairman
of the new National Committee will be
a man favored by Taft; a man who has
been identified with the Taft movement
from the start, and not one who is an
active mover In the camp of the allies.
Taft Sure of Their Votes, Anyhow.
It is not necesasry. in the opinion of
Secretary Taft and hi? friends, to throw
a sop to the leaders of the allies in or
der to induce them to support the. Repub
lican ticket in the campaign this Fall.
They will all vote for Taft, whether he
recognizes them or not. Murray Crane,
a life-long Republican, will work for
Taft and the Republican ticket, no mat
ter who is chosen for campaign man
ager. So will Senator Aldrich, for what
ever else may be said of him, he always
lines up with his party when the ballots
are cast; he never yet bolted a-Republican
National ticket. The same is true
of Senator Hale. As for Speaker Can
non, he has no intention of voting for
Bryan, even though his bitterest erfmy
might be named for chairman of the Re
publican National Committee. Cannon
will not only vote for Taft; he will cam
paign for liim. So will Fairbanks; so
will Knox; so will Hughes. Not a man
among them but has a better right than
Crane to be chosen chairman of the Na
tional Committee, but none of them will
be chosen. They are not Taft men.
In political circles in Washington Taft's
course has been commended, and It is
the opinion of unbiased Republicans that
he has strengthened himself by his re
fusal to "compromise" with his enemies.

I In a National convention or a Presiden
tial election.
I Responsibility Is Hitchcock's.
Hitchcock Is responsible for the great
Cortelyou Presidential myth. He may
or may not have had anything to do
with the tenacious survival of the un
necessary opinion in Washington that
the first duty of Government employes
Is to give Cortelyou a leg up into a po
sition entirely beyond his deserts or
merits.' When It was realized here that
the nomination of Cortelyou for Vice
President would make Cortelyou and his
slush fund and his Wall-street affiliation
an issue, .probably the chief issue, of the
ocming campaign, he was dropped,
not to be revived unless New York, in a
moment of aberration shall see fit to
take him up. There Is little danger of
that, since New York has little desire
to help along Cortelyou.
The lobby talk for Dolliver Is very
strong, but It is hard to take it serious
ly. Its inspiration is. in part at least,
the exigencies of Iowa politics. Gov
ernor Cummins wants very badly to go
to the Senate. With Dolliver out of the
way hia ambition might easily be real
ized, unless Allison should die or retire
But the Cummins outlook through the
prospect of Dolliver's promotion appears
to be better. Dolliver doesn't want it.
His personal and political friends are
against it. Yet Dolliver is a popular
figure and he appeals somehow to the
general imagination and the boom is
making great headway.
Unlike Dolliver. Fairbanks does want
the Vice-Presidency. This is no mere
personal opinion, but it is the quiet
confession of some of the Indiana f le
gates. The Indiana statesman realizes
at last that he hasn't the ghost of a
show to be President. Fairbanks'
eleventh-hour repentance of his Presi
dential aspirations may be a little too
late, but all the same, there is a really
friendly feeling for him among many
delegates who want somebody else for
President, and a growing belief that H
would be wise to make this concession
to the "Conservatives" and thus guar
antee Indiana to the Republican ticket.
Indiana without Fairbanks on the ticket
would be . a doubtful state, while New
York is probably safe for Taft In any
event, or at least no other Vice-Presidential
candidate from New York except
Hughes would strengthen the ticket
there. Sherman is respectable, but with

numbers want him. antl the obviously WI30
thing to do is to nominate him. It ought
to be done, and in my Judgment it will be
done. If nominated, he will accept. I am
ready to stake my life on it. He must
accept. As a patriot and a lover of Ins
country, which needs and is demanding his
further services, he cannot decline.
Bourne and his little side-show are not
receiving the slightest attention from
anybody but the newspapers, which
print his "hot stuff" because it is more
or less novel in Chicago. It Is consid
ered here quite natural and logical that
Oregon, which has succeeded Kansas as
a freak state, should be represented at
Washington by a. freak Senator.

Tjfc cost of Interments has been greatly
re'Jfced by the Holman Undertaking
CcJTipany.
Heretofore It has been the custom of
funeral directors to make charges for all
Incidentals connected with a funeral. The
Edward Holman Undertaking Company,
the leading funeral directors of Portland,
have departed from that custom. When
casket is furnished by us we make no
extra charges for embalming, hearse to
cemetery, outside box or any services that
may be required of us, except clothing,
cemetery and carriages, thus effecting a,
laving of $25 to $75 on each funeral.
