National Committeemen Make Selec
tion at Close of Conference in
Colorado Springs Chairman
Hitchcock's Busy Day.
- COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., July 21.
The Inter-Mountain Republican confer
ence came to a close tonight with a din
ner given by Frank H. Hitchcock, chair
jnah of the Republican National commit
tee, to the mmbers of the National com
mittee and state chairmen who have been
here for the past three days. Most of the
Westerners left for their homes on late
trains tonight, or will start early tomor
row. Mr. Hitchcock and his immediate
party will leave for Chicago tomorrow.
Just before final adjournment the mem
bers of the National committee in con
ference with Mr. Hitchcock voted unani
mously to establish main headquarters in
Chicago Instead of New York. Quarters
will be taken in a downtown office build
ing which Hitchcock's force will estab
lish there as soon as he can get them
together after his return to Chicago. All
the work of Taft forces will be, directed
from Chicago even to the collection of
campaign funds. The conference also
adopted the following resolution intro
duced by A. M. Stevenson, former Na
tional committeeman from Colorado:
Tender Hitchcock Tuhnks.
. Resolved, That the thanks of Republicans
of the States of Kansas. Nebraska, North.
Dakota. Kouth Dakota, Wyoming. Colorado,
t'tah, Idaho. Nevada, Montana, California,
Oregon, Washington Oklahoma and Texas
nd the Territories of Now Mexico and
Arizona and whose representatives nt this
conference are due and are hereby specially
tendered to Mr. Frank Hitchcock, chairman
of the Republican National Committee, for
the great interest he has taken in his party
In the West and for the assembling- of this
conference.
We pledge to our National Chairman our
tamest and unanimous support In this cam
paign and beg to assure him of the personal
esteem and friendship of all those present
The time today was fully occupied by
the Republican politicians. During the
forenoon they ascended Pike's Peak, on
a special train. On the trips up and
down Mr. Hitchcock conferred with every
politician individually. At the summit
iohotographs of the party were taken
and telegrams were sent to Taft and
Sherman. The telegram to the Repub
lican standard-bearer was sent by Mr.
Hitchcock and read as follows :
"Republican leaders fro mevery state
west of the Missouri River join with me
in sending you greeting from the top of
Pike's Peak. We are on top now and
expect to be when the returns come In
iiext November."
Telephone to Sir. Sherman.
' The dispatch to the Republican Vice
Presidential candidate was signed by
Representative George W. Cook and W.
A. Haggott, of this state, and Bird Mc
Gulre, of Oklahoma, and was as follows:
"Chairman Hitchcock and party send
congratulations from Pike's Peak sum
mit. Your banner hoisted over the
highest telegraph station in the world
amid tumultuous cheers."
A severe storm, with hail and thunder
and lightning, added to the grandeur of
the return journey down the mountain.
When the party arried at the Antlers,
after the excursion, luncheon was sered
and the Western leaders resumed their
eonfverence at 3 P. M. At the session
yesterday stock was taken, but today
pluna for the campaign to be made in
the various Western states were discussed
In detail.
Hitchcock Is Reticent.
Mr. Hitchcock Insisted that he could
rot discuss the plans. He declared that
the conferences had been very successful
in every way. but particularly through
the good-fellowship established among
the men who are depended upon to do the
real work in the West and the spirit of
enthusiasm that has been aroused.
AU men who attend the conference re
mained here tonight for Mr. Hitchcock's
dinner. This was not a banquey, but
merely a contlnance of the business ses
sions as the discussion of campaign wnet
on without interruption.
It is asserted by practically all of the
men who have attended the meetings here
that the question of contributions for
election expenses had not been raised at
ny tlm. The Westerners said that they
have no doubt that money will be found
to carry on the campaign that the sub
ject would be considered later.
Plans a Busy Week.
Mr. Hitchcock has a busy programme
mapped out for the next week or ten
days. He will reach Chicago on Thurs
day night and will meet several leaders
of the Central states with whom he has
already had engagements. He may decide
to have a general conference there to
be attended by as many of the National
Committeemen and state chairman from
the Middle West states as can be reached
before leaving on the morning of July 27
for Cincinnati to attend the ceremonies
of notifying Judge Taft of his nomina
tion for President on the Republican
ticket. While in Chicago Mr. Hitchcock
expects to announce the appointment of a
vice-chairman and the executive com
mittee of the National Committee.
After the notification ceremonies at
Cincinnati Mr. Hitchcock will go to New
York to open the headquarters there on
August 1.

COREAN POLICY STANDS
Premier Ratsura Will Make Xo
Change In System.
TOKIO. July Si. Prince Ito. resident-general
of Corea, lias arrived at
his country residence In Oiso, and has
been received in audience by the Em
peror. He says that he will return to
Corea in October. The Associated
Press understands that the govern
ment under Premier Katsura has de
cided not to change the present Corean
policy. Four thousand Coreans who
enlisted in the gendarmerie and are
now drilling under Japanese officers
will shortly be distributed throughout
the disturbed. districts of the Coreans.
The Associated Press dispatches from
outlying provinces Indicate that their
condition lias been decidedly improved.
The Japanese officials are severely
punishing Japanese coolies who are
convicted of maltreating Coreans. The
new Corean courts will open on
August 1.
Police Plan Popnlar in Corea.
SEOUL, July 21. Four thousand -Co
reans are now being enlisted as auxiliary
gendarmes. These men are selected
chiefly from the disbanded army. They
will be commanded by Japanese officers
and are expected to assist materially In
putting down the disturbances. One of
the main difficulties confronting the Jap
anese military In the campaign against
the so-called Insurgents Is the lack of
knowledge of the people and language.
The new Corean gendarmes will be able
to distinguish the peaceful villagers from
the insurgents. It Is said that the meas
ure Is very popular and that the num
ber of applicants for admission to the
corps is largely in excess of the number
required.
