CHICAOO. June f. (BpeolaL) The
food ship Roosevelt struck two big
rocks In National Committee Harbor,
the principal port of Convention Ocean,
today. "
Rock No. 1 was the defeat by a viva
voce vote by the committee of a mo
tion by Senator Borah, of Idaho, a
Roosevelt flaw-bearer, that eight votes
could demand a roll call. The Taft fol
lower "compromised" on 10.
Rock No. S was bit when the course
was steered on the motion for full pub
licity of the proceedings of the com
mittee. The Taft faction offered an
amendment to admit representatives of
only five accredited press associations.
The vote showed It committeemen vot
ing with Taft and 11 with the Roose
velt banner.
Prwoeedlaga Be Pwbllaked.
After this show of strength, which
sent the mechanics of the Roosevelt
machine scurrying with the distress
signal, the Taft committeemen grew
magnanimous. They agreed to permit
the press association reprasentatlvea to
be present at all times when arguments
on contests are being heard and when
votes are taken, and also to furnish
a stenographic record of all proceed
ings for public use.
The Roosevelt committeemen and
managers shied at the real teat of
strength which bad been planned for
ted ay. R. B. Howell, newly elected
committeeman of Nebraska, whom the
Roosevelt men once had declared they
would seat at once as eucceaeor to
Victor Rosewater, withdrew, averting
hostilities. Rosewater was elected
chairman of the National committee to
succeed the late John F. Hill, of Maine.
Howell Advise e Qwlf.
Mr. Howell, who had arrived from
Cmaha with fire In bis eye. was not so
warlike after reviewing the situation
He' found Rosewater fortified behind
the Taft majority. Then he conferred
with Senator Dixon, the Roosevelt
manager, who further Increased his
anxiety by telling him to quit.
Opinions differed tonight as to the
significance of the It to 11 vote of to
day. Taft followers construed It as a
test of strength which will cut a big
figure tomorrow when the contests In

are taken up.
On the other vote of significant Im
portanceon the motion of Senator
Borah, providing that eight members
could order a rollcall the old rule pro

enacted. Repreeestalloa Is l Messaged.
The Southern representation question,
which, has caused no end of furor quad

Taft and Roosevelt managers of the

JURORS MUST CALL LATER
Juno Session Cannot Be Held Be
cause Uncle Sam Hasn't Price.
Because there Is not sufficient money
available properly to conduct the pro
ceedings of the Federal grand Jury,
that was summoned to appear June 17,
a motion will be made In the United
Statee District Court this, morning to
have the call for It cancelled. Pre
vious to the opening of the present
fiscal quarter United States Marshal
Scott filed an estimate of expenses In
the sum of $1000 and later It was
necessary to draw 12000 additional to
cover several unexpected large witness
fees. To cover the expenses of this
special grand Jury at least $6000 ad
dltlonal will be needed and It Is
questionable If the department has this
much available, as the Government
fiscal year ends June 20. Marshal
Scott wired the department at Wash
ington yesterday the full status of the
flnanoea In his office and upon the
reply will depend .what will be done
with the grand Jury.

Supreme Court Rale Commission
ers Have No Right to Condemn.
OLTMPIA. Wash.. June ..(Special.)
The Supreme Court today decided
that there Is no law authorizing
county to acquire a wharf or dock site
by eminent domain, and as result of
the derision the County Commission
ers of Ktng County are unable to con
demn the proposed wharf sit near
the mouth of the Duwmlsh River,

The action was brought up on the
petition of the Wauconda Investment
Company for a writ of review of the
King County Superior Court decision
It was held that the right to con
dmn cannot be granted by Implica
tion, as was contended by respondent.
Although It appears that It was the in
tention of the Legislature to enact such
a law, this was not dorre, and there
Is no authorisation for the procedure.
The respondent relied upon the act
of 1195, but the Supreme Court held
that this wss not a general act.

In open court, however objectionable
to some readers, are legitimate and

asked by the Mayor to tell, under oath,
where they obtained the Information
that led to the dispatch of a grilling

Taking refuge behind the law, which
makes of grand jurors privileged char
acters for the preservation of the
body' secrecy, the member refused,
upon advice from Deputy District At
torney Collier, to make any statement,
except to say that, personally, they
know nothing of alleged laxity of mor.
Pal a relating to the police depart
ment.
Mayor Rushlight, In opening the
meeting, said that he wished to obtain
the Information from the member of
the grand Jury for the be no lit of
cleansing the city.
Foreman Refuse to Tell.
When H. F. Campion, who was fore
man of the Jury, was called to the
stand and waa sworn by Deputy City

Police Commissioner Seton In regard to
where the Information a to moral con
dition lit the city came from that re
sulted In the compilation of the letter
to Chief Slover. Mr. Campion hesitated.
and Deputy District Attorney Collier
quickly Interposed an objection, saying
the Mayor had no authority to ask such
question. Deputy City Attorney
Tomllnson, by request of the Mayor,
outlined the authority granted In th
charter to the Mayor, virtually agree
ing with Mr. Collier. This settled the
subject and the Mayor mudo no fur

Taking another tack, the Mayor and
Commissioners proceeded to place po
