The committee adhered to the con
vention call of 190$ and the plrmary
question waa left aa It waa four years
go. The championa of Presidential
preference prlraarlrs and state-wide
primaries for the selection of delegates
in states where primary lawa are not
operative were defeated. They were
led by Fenator Borah, of Idaho, who
contented himself with a minority re
port from the subcommittee on call, of
which he waa chairman, and with a
brief apeech to the committee.
Calaael Jew Met Obbwm4.
Early in the day It became apparent
that Secretary Hilles and Arthur Very a.
National committeemen from Ohio,
were In control. The disinclination of
Postmaster-General Hitchcock to In
dorse Colonel Harry a New, of Indiana,
as chairman of the subcommittee on ar
rangements waa overcome and Mr.
Hitchcock took no part In the proceed
ings of the day. The Southern commit
teemen, said to be opposed to Mr. New.
for fear he favored a reduction of
southern representation, voted for the
Indtanan.
The Oliloana and New Yorkers who
had given publicity to the Roosevelt
propaganda contented themselves with
the progresa they had made. The other

PHsaary I'laa la Defeated.
The long heralded row over the pri
mary plan proved to be a flash In tha
pan. The following members of the
committee were appointed to draft the
plan: Messrs Borah of Idaho. Lowden
of Illinois, Ward of New York. Kose
water of Nebraska and Capera of
South Carolina. Ward. Kellogg and
Capera signed the majority report
which empowered statea with primary
lawa to select delegates by primary, if
their committees so decided, and Mr.
Rosewater signed It with the reserva
tion that be favored the primary Idea.
Sir. Borah submitted his minority re
port, which added a provision that
v.-ould permit Presidential primaries
In all states.
When the committee met for Ita
afternoon session, Mr. Borah presented
the reports acd explained the differ
ence between the two. He consented
to an amendment by Senator Penrose,
if Pennsylvania, which overcome the
conflict between the call and South
Dakota lams. The call law requires
that the delegates must be chosen 30
days before the convention and the
uth Dakota law fixes June t aa the
date of the primary. The Penrose
amendment walvea the rule in the
rase of South Dakota.

Senator Borah took the floor In sup
port of his primary proposition. He
declared thai he mould make It com

When Justice Crelghton learned the
character of the case, he declined to

Me with.
Upon this statement Attorney Harron,

While their verdict under the law
can be nothing more than adviaory. It

the state to buy a favorite corset. The
contrivance waa taken home but waa

Is whether the corset did fit the form
of Mrs. Penn and waa returned for
some other reaaon. This, Judge Crelgh

VAST IDAHO TRACT
OPENED TO ENTRY
NEARLY 1,000,000 ACRES OF
WITHDRAWN LA.VD RELEASED.
Only Power Sites and Military Re
serves In Territory on Snake
River Are Withheld.
BOISE, Idaho, Dec 13. (Special.)
The conservation policy, which has
withheld hundreds of thousands of
acres of land from actual entry In the
southern portion of this state, particu
larly on the north and south sides of
the Snake River, was lifted today when
bys far the most Important order In
the history of the Idaho Land Office
was received by Receiver William
Balderstone from President Taft The
message refers to the entry of nearly
1,000,000 acres of withdrawn coal lands.
The order Is sweeping and places at
the disposal of entryman all unen
tered land, with the exception of power
site and military reserves and a few
hundred acres In two odd sections, in
the entire district, which extends from
Hailey on the east, to Welser on
the west.
The revoking order is under date of
December 1, 1911, 'and the restoration
is made possible by the classification of
the withdrawn lands by the director
of the Geological Survey as non-coaL
These lands have been held within the
coal classification for many years. The
releasing, order goes into effect im
mediately and the lands will be entered
by many homeseekers. '
DENSE FOG DELAYS CARS
River Navigation Also Hampered
Somewhat but No Damage Done.
Heavy fog lying along the river yes
terday made eternal vigilance the price
of safe navlgatidn for the various
river craft and compelled the cars on
all lines in the city to run with the
utmost caution to avoid possible col
lision. The steamer Lurllne suffered
slightly, colliding with the Oregon
Wood Distributing Company's dock In
the fog near St, Helens, but no serious
damage resulted. No' other accidents
were reported from the waterfront.
In the city the fog lay heaviest
along the river In the business section,
making it difficult for the cars to keep
their distance. ' During the morning
and after sundown, when the fog was
heaviest, the cars ran a trifle slower
than schedule, although the loss of
time was so Immaterial as to cause
little delay on any of the lines.

GEORGE V HAILED
AS INDIA'S RULER
Gorgeous Durbar'Sur

DELHI WILL BE THE CAPITAL
Emperor and Empress Are
Charmed by Festival City.
THOUSANDS ATTEND FETE
White, Brown and Black People
Proclaim Sovereign in Two Am
phitheaters Scenes Are
Dazzling in Brilliance.
DELHI. India, Dec 12. (Special.)
Before thousands of their subjects,
white, brown and black. King George
V and Queen Mary were today pro
claimed Emperor and Empress of India.
The ceremonial was the crowning glory
of the Durbar, and, it is asserted, sur
passed all spectacles of modern . times.
In two amphitheaters erected on the
beautiful plain of Delhi the ceremon
ies by which citizens of British India
hailed their rulers were enacted in
one before high white and Indian offi
cials. Princes and prominent persons
and in the larger one before a multi
tude ot the people.
A holiday had been declared through
out the land and thousands upon thou
sands had flocked to the city to witness
the coronation.
Day Perfect One.
The day was perfect for the magnifi
cent pageantry and not an untoward
Incident ' marred India's greatest fete.
Royal robes and . gems splashed and
glittered In the sunlight as the nobility
and Boldiery of the royal procession
made their way from the Durbar camp
to the great temporary auditoriums,
where the actual acclamation of the
Emperor and his consort took place.
Following the ceremonies the King
Emperor made It known that he would
give a large sum of money for popular
education, with, other gifts to follow.
The Viceroy announced that His Majesty
was so charmed with Delhi that he
had determined to move the
Indian capital here from Calcutta. Cal
cutta has been the capital of India
since 1773. It is estimated that the
removal of the capital will cost
$25,000,000.
The native Princes and army are
pleased at the revival of the ancient
glories of Delhi. It Is feared, however,
that It will be resented In Calcutta and
by the Mohammedans in Eastern Ben
gal. The government has acquired the
Durbar territory on easy terms and it
is proposed to utilize the site for a
new city, which will take two or three
years to build.
Crowds Early to Arrive.
The amphitheaters were crowded at
an early hour.
The great feudatory Princes and
rulers of India, with the leading Brit
ish officials, occupied seats of honor
near the pavilion located in the cen
ter. Screened from the gaze of the
curious by a lattice framework, a
number of Maharanees and other In
dian women of high rank occupied two
sections of the front gallery;
Cheers heralded the arrival of a little
band of veterans, survivors of the ar
mies which made the present Durbar
possible. The old fighters. In weather
beaten uniforms, strove to keep up a
show of military formation as they
marched to the privileged place al
lotted them, but many of them limped
to their seats.
Almost immediately the vice regal
procession came Into view. Escorted
by a brilliantly uniformed native body
guard, the Viceroy and Lady Hardinge
sat in their state carriage drawn by;
blooded horses with outriders uni
formed in scarlet and gold.
Salute la Thundered.
The thunder of the imperial salute
announced the approach of the Em
peror and Empress. Drawn by four
magnificent horses, the royal carriage,
was almost hidden from view by Its;
gaily caparisoned escort.
The Emperor wore a robe of Imperial
purple, a surcoat of purple, with whlta
satin breeches and silk stockings. Ha
wore the collars of the orders of the
Garter and the Star of India, and also
the star of the latter order.
The Imperial crown consists of a band
of diamonds studded with large emer
alds and sapphires, with rubies in tha
center and a cap of purple velvet,
turned up with ermine.
The Queen-Empress' dress was of
white satin embroidered with a design
of roses, thistles and shamrocks, with
a border of lotus flowers. The star of
India was embroidered on the front of
her dress. Her Majesty's Imperial robe
was of pure velvet, trimmed with er
mine and a border of gold braid. She
wore the Orders of the Garter and the
Star of India. Her ornaments were a
diamond and emerald necklace and
brooches.
Royal Anthem Played.
Carriage after carriage, with mem
bers of the suite, followed the Imperial
pair. The guard presented arms and
the band played the royal anthem.
The combined procession proceeded
slowly to the greater central tent where
their majesties stooo to receive tna
