his name, a veteran of the big break

escaped from the state, but later was
convicted of another crime In Colorado

Twenty lesser ringleaders have been

Riots Aimed at Board.
"The rioting yesterday," said Dennis

The whole secret of the motive be
neath the demonstration found utter

Cut out the food and feed us paroles.'
"The food had nothing to do with it.
The protest Is not against the food,
but against being here. The demand
of these men Is that they should sot be

CHICAGO, June 10. To.lay'a work ef
he Republican National Committee
added 13 more delegates to the cata
logue of the Taft strength on the tem
porary rollcall of the Republican Na
tional convention.
The Indiana contests came before the
committee and were decided, all In fa
vor of Taft.
With the 73 delegates comprised In
the Southern contests decided last
week, today's gains make a total of M
delegates added to the Taft forces by
the work of the National committee.
With the 201 instructed and uncontest
ed delegates credited to him. tliev
bring his total on the temporary roll
up to 215, not counting other contests
that may be decided for him.
Majority Are for Taft.
A large proportion of the contested

on by the committee represent dele
gates Instructed for Taft; the precUe
number Is the subject of much dispute,
nor can It ha aald how many of there
contests Taft will win.
Ths rases decided today were thoe
of the Indiana delegation at large, four
in number, headed by Colonel ll.rr; N.
New, chairman of the convention com
mittee of arrangements, and Indu-llm.-ex-Vice-Presldent
' Fairbanks and the
district delegations from the First,
Third and Thirteenth districts. The
contest in the Fourth district was with
drawn and the committee confirmed ths
two sitting (Taft) delegates.

The real fight of the day in the com.
tnlttet came, not on the contest over
the delegates-at-large, where the com
mittee waa unanimous in giving thern
to Tift, but over the sealing of two
Taft delegates from the Thirteenth,
Indiana District.
Attempts of the Roosevelt attorneys
to introduce certain affidavits saaerted
by them to bear the signature of a ms-
Jorlty ot the delegates to the district
convention at which the Taft delegates
were chosen, precipitated the only sen
sational interchange of the day and
occasioned a sudden reversal of the
committee's vote, which was not ex
plained to the satisfaction ot the Roose
velt men.
Their reversal of the vote was cou
pled with a specifto assertion that it
was not to be regarded as a prccetlrnu
Vote Is Factional.
ho the committee heard the affidavits
with verbal teatimony in contraven
tion of their allegations and then voted
to seat ths Taft delegates. The vote,
it to 14, represents what has hern the
lineup between the factions ever elu
the committee came together.
This was not the first battle of the
day, however. Before the Indiana
cases were taken up the committee,
came near to a turbulent scene ot (ac
tional bitterness. A motion by rVna
tor Crane, of Msssachusetts, tt post
pone until Wednesday the case ef the
Fourth District of California, In ac
cordance with the request of r.x-Hina-tor
Dick, the Taft contest leader, met
the opposition of the Roosevelt forces.
The case had been called and the at
torneys and contestants were In their
places when this question arose.
Ret nra ef Courtesy Asked.
Mr. Dick argued that a similar lrUy
had been granted last week In llie
California case, at the request of the
Roosevelt people and he thought l'.a
was entitled to tho courtesy.
In the rollcall on the California perl,
ponement, the lineup wss II to 13, li e

In connection with the putting over
of the contest in the Fourth California
district, the committee formally or
dered all uncontested delegates t b't
placed on the temporary roll of tho
convention. This action waa said to le
a matter of form, as the names would
go on the roll as a matter of courso
and any name entered on the roll csit
be stricken off by order of the commit
tee. Cecil Lyon, Nstlonal committeemsn
for Texas, moved, when the Califor

deiegatea be placed on the temporary
