CHICAGO. June 12 Differences be
tween Tsft and Roosevelt leader born
on a tide of charges of bribery, theft
and ether accusations, threatened to
night to precipitate decisive develop
ments before the opening; of the Re
publican National convention next
Tuesday.
Charges of corruption were made In a
statement to the press given out to
- night by Director McKinley, of the Taft
bureau, which ace u Be a Roosevelt msn
sgers of an effort to capture the con
vention by force.
Bolt Talk tirowtag.
Two sensational possibilities were
discussed In conference ronnu, hotel
corridors and party headquarters. The
flret was a bolt by Roosevelt forces
and tha organisation of "progressive"
party If Taft is renominated. The bolt
talk was ever present during tha day
and one In a meeting; of llooeevelt
leadera rose to a point where William
ininn. of rittsburg, who was presiding,
refused to let It go further.
The second was a compromise candi
date. A numoer of leaders declared
that now c win beyond question to
expect the Taft or Roosevelt people
to abide by the nomination of the other
candidate.
allforala Deelaloa Excites.
The situation was crystallized to a
Brest degree by the action of the Na
tional committee In the contest hear
ings, particularly the California case.
The Roosevelt men Insisted they could
expect nothing for their candidate at
the hands of the ruling Taft majority
In the committee and condemned with
Increasing bitterness the work of that
body.
Whether Colonel Roosevelt would
rome to Chicago and what effect his
coming would have upon the situation
came up at almost every turn of the
endless discussions and arguments.
Nearly all agreed that the arrival of
Colonel Roosevelt would bring tha sit
uation to a climax, but the final out
coma of such an event waa disputed.
Elevea States Favor Bolt.
The states that loomed large In 'the
rah illations of the Roosevelt leaders
In case of bolt were: California. Ore
gon, Kansas, Nebraska. Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, West Virginia, South Da
kota. Minnesota, Wisconsin and North
Dakota. Several other states were
named, but the Roosevelt manngera got
greater satisfaction out of their sur
vey of those listed.
The third candidate talk included
Cummins and LaFolIette and a "dark
horse" possibility. A dozen names were
mentioned, but there was no unanimity
of opinion among leaders.
Early In tha evening Director Mc
Kinley issued a statement which, after
asserting that Mr. Taft would be nom
inated on the first ballot, charged that
the Roosevelt forces were planning
"more desperate measures to prevent
tha Inevitable."
Charge ef Bribery Made.
"The effort to' corrupt Taft dele
gates to the Chicago convention." said
the statement, "haa been under way
several weeks. Tt la common knowl
edge that seven weeks ago money was
sent to two Taft Instructed delegates
in a certain Southern state by a well
known Roosevelt leader now In Chi
cago. "Within the last week two men sent
from New Tork to a Southern state
have hraaenly approached Taft dele
Kates with offera of money In return
for votes for Roosevelt. Other agents
on a similar mission have made their
appearance recently In aeveral states.
"That a well-defined effort Is on foot
to buy the Presidential nomination for
Theodore Roosevelt Is beyond question."
I'laa to rack. Hall Sees.
Tha statement charges that a plan
Is on foot to influence the local po
lice force with a view to packing the
convention hall with non-ttcket hold
ers and "perpetrate In the hall a sys
tem of Intimidation and terrorlxatlon
which might easily culminate In a full
fledged riot."
"A plain campaign lie," waa Mr.
Dlxon'a retort to the McKinley state
ment. Tha Rooaevelt' committee empha
sised tonight Its opinion of the Na
tional committee's action in today's
contests. In a long statement the
Michigan case was characterised as
"one of the most nutrageou attempts
at strong-srm turtles perpetrated by
the Tsft forcea In a campnlgn marked
by ruthless disregard of Justice and fair
dealing on their part'
PITCHER WINS AS
THUNDER CRASHES
BMMiKI) BY FLASHES, BATTERS
SAVING AT AVIDE BALLS.
Plumas Connty. California, Has Ac
count of AVrird Game AVith Two
Bolts Deciding Issue.
SACRAMENTO. Cal.. June 1!. (Ppe
rial. Jim Wlggs. of the Cabbage
Patch, one-time pitcher for the Oakland
Coast Leaguers, tells a tale of how an
earthquake ones moved the plate for
him and gave him a strikeout in a up
country game. But there Is a tala that
comes out of Plumas County that rele
gates Jim Wlggs and his earthquake
story to the back porch for a few
weeks.
The story comes frem Qulnry, the
Tlumaa County seat, and relatea to a
game played there last Sunday, when
two bolts of thunder struck near tha
ball field and gave the Greenville pitch
er two strikeouts which ha would-have
probably missed under normal condl
tlons.
It .was In the fifth Inning, with Jack
Wardlow In the box for Greenville.
Hart, of Quincy, was at bat with two
strikes and three balls called on him
As Wardlow delivered the ball' which
waa to tell the tale, a crash of thunder
came with a blinding flash and a huge
pine less than a quarter of a mile away
was seared and splintered. The ball
was thrown low and passed well out
side the plate, but the batter was blind
ed by the flash and swung wide at It
for his third strike.
Wilson was the next man up for
Quincy and with two strikes called on
him he repeated Hart's performance as
a second thunderbolt smote a tree a
few hundred yards from the first. This
gave Wardlow two successive strike
outs against two of Quincy' best bat
ters, and even Wardlow himself admit
ted that without the aid of tha thun
derbolt coming with the third strike he
would probably not have disposed of
his men so easily.

SAX FRANCISt 'O. June 12. Spe.
rial. Captain William A. Carlton, of
the Presidio, gave the sentimental doc
trine of mercy for convicts and prison
ers and the parole system a rap In tha
head today when he appeared In United
fetates Commissioner Krull's court to
give testimony against James McKay
a former soldier, who was recently dis
honorably discharged from the Army
and who la now under areest for having
In his possession a Government coat.
Captain Carlton waa delegated to
present McKay's record in the hearing
before Commissioner Krull. He for
merly was superintendent of a state re
formatory In Minnesota.
"I have come to the conclusion, after
years spent In the Army and as a su
perlnt indent of a reformatory, that It
is a mistake to extend leniency to
criminals, and that the parole system
has keen an absolute failure," Captain
Carlton told Commissioner Krull. "If
you expert to correct crlminls you must
punish them, and punish them severely,
The tendency today Is to punish them
too lightly, only to have them back to
deal with again In a short time.
"It Is altogether wrong to parole a
prisoner, in my opinion. A paroled man
Is marked, snd, try as he will, he rsn
not virh away the brand. A prisoner
should serve his full sentence and then
be released to look the world squarely
in the fare and stsrt anew. If ha wants
to."
Army officers say McKay waa a fins
soldier l.i his day, but that he la now a
hopeless drunkard.
