BORAH HON G0MES6AGKSMILING fSCIN in more SECRET CLOSELY GUARDED TSepnblican Apprehension, However, Is Iessened--Accord Between Two Parties, With Hughes as , Kominec, Is Indicated. COJTVEXTIOX HALL, Chicago, June (Special.) Senator Borah, of Idaho, who. has been, working all day for Hughes and harmony, had a long-distance conversation tonight with Colonel Hoosevelt, and at its conclusion let it be known he is greatly pleased at what took place over the wire. The details of the conversation were not made known; in fact. Senator Borah would not discuss the conversation, further than to admit his gratification. Just what this means can only be surmised. Senator Borah is of the opinion and flatly declared tonight that in his judg ment Justice Hughes will be nominated by the Republicans. He is hopeful, however, that the nomination will be brought about In such a way as to re sult in accord between Republicans and Progressives. His efforts today have teen in that direction and he suddenly has assumed the role of leader of the harmony movement. Senator's Mood H Quieting Effect. It is learned from men who are in close touch with Colonel Roosevelt that Iiis uppermost desire is to accomplish the defeat of President Wilson In No vember. Whether that means that the Colonel will sway or attempt to sway the Progressive convention to Hughes; whether it means that he will take some steps later on to check the im pulsive Progressives who, under the leadership of Murdock and Johnson, have run wild today, or whether he will let these wild men have their way and decline the nomination at their hands, 10 one seems able to say with authov Ity. At least if anyone is authorized to say, he Is not saying it. The fact remains that since Senator Borah's conversation with the Colonel over the telephone wif-e, there is less apprehension in Republican circles than prevailed earlier. Senator Borah's mood has had a quieting effect and has conduced to the hope and the belief that Colonel Roosevelt will not be found playing the game of Murdock or Johnson. Revolt May Come to Naught. If it be true, as reported, that the Colonel's first and foremost desire is to defeat Wilson, then the revolt will come to naught. How the Colonel will frustrate them, nobody is so bold as to say. But it may be that he is in ac cord with the view expressed tonight by Senator Borah, that the paTty is greater than any man. As an evidence of his interest in Hughes and harmony, Senator Borah to day called on Frank Hitchcock and told him the Idaho delegation would support Hughes.

The house on the old Judge Brodie homestead, situated on the bank of the Willamette near Canby and known as the Cliff Farm," was burned to- the ground this afternoon.

Mr. Brodie was in Portland at the time of the fire. CHILDREN WE WORRY ABOUT Close confinement in school durinir .it- . . , , iae pasi winter, oversiuay pernaps, an attack of the grip or tonsilitia, some one of these thmes is doubtless respon sible for the condition of the child who Bhows a decline in health now. "What are the symptoms? Pallor and languor, a fickle appetite, dark rings under the eyes, bronchial colds. Very often the best efforts of the family physician ail in such cases and the condition of the child causes the most intense anxiety. Cod-liver oil, so often prescribed, generally fails because the weak stomach is unable to digest lata. Try this treatment. Before break fast each morning give the child the j uice of half an orange. After the noon meal give one of Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills. Keep this up for a few davs and then give one of the pills after the evening meal .Usd. Weigh the child before beginning the treatment and again after two weeks. An increase in weight of from two to five pounds will chow you that you are on the right track at last. Care is necessary in the diet of the patient and it will be well to send to the Dr. "Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., for a diet book and the pamphlet, "Building Up the Blood."

A final pre-con- vention conference of Progressive Na tional Committeemen, state ' chairmen and delegation chairmen was held to night. Chairman Murdock, of the Na tional Committee, and many of the leaders made speeches urging that no nominations be made by the conven tion until Friday. Enthusiastic ap plause was given Chairman Murdock, and the conferees left confident that precipitate action in the convention could be prevented. Chairman Murdock said after the conference that after tomorrow's pre liminaries he was sure the platform would be considered most of Thursday and nominations not reached until Friday. Perkins Counts on Conference. George W. Perkins tonight reiterated his opinion that the Progressive con- vention would not nominate a candi date until there had been time for full conference, in accordance with the dec laration of the Progressive National Committee last January. "We said last January," Mr. Perkins declared, speaking for the Progressive National Committee, that we would have a proper exchange of views with Republican leaders before we attempted to nominate a candidate. Simple cour tesy requires us to give opportunity for an exchange of views before a nom ination is attempted." At the meeting the conferees, Almost to a man, leaped to their feet and enthusiastically applauded Murdock's speech advocating deliberate conduct of the convention. Discordant Note Struck. A discordant note came later, how ever, when Professor Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard, urged the nomina tion of Colonel Roosevelt on the open ing day, if the delegates were so dis posed, and entirely in disregard of the Republican convention's action. Adherence to the National Commit tee's puiblic programme of bringing up nominations Friday was counseled by -National committeemen Austin E. Grif fiths, of Washington, and J. M. Inger soll. of Idaho. Judge Nortoni and Irwin Kirkwood. of Missouri, spoke in a similar vein. The delegation chairmen were di rected to have ready for presentation at tomorrow's session of the convention their lists of nominees for all conven tion committees. - , . fences. The different charges included assault, fighting, gambling, forgery, threatening bodily harm and census frauds. Only one conviction appeared in the list and. a fine of $25 was as sessed. . Mr. Coffey charged that the animus of Day and Amidon toward him was i due to his refusal to let them dictate appointments in his office. He at tacked Day in connection with the fail ure of the Oregon Trust & Savings Bank and charged that Day, who was secretary of the depositors' committee, received his own deposit in full, while others got about 30 cents on the dol lar. Mr. Coffey said that A. A. Bailey had posed as a friend of labor but had be trayed labor when he was elected to the Legislature. "As to Herman Schneider," said Mr. Cbffey, "he fought me because I would not keep him in office after he" had embezzled 1500 to $600 from the fish and game fund, for which offense he was indicted."

"The only traveling men's associa tions legally empowered to do this class of business," said Commissioner Wells, "are the Travelers' Protective Associa tion, of St. Louis, Mo.; the United Commercial Travelers, of Columbus, Ohio, and the Order of Railway Em ployes."

In deference to the wishes of Senator Borah, the Idaho delegation will not rormally present his name to the Re publican National Convention when nominations for the Presidency are be ing made. The Idahoans were not only desirous of giving the Senator a complimentary vote, but they desired to continue vot ing ior mm as long as there was a chance for a dark horse, but they will follow out his desires and cast their vote solidly for Hughes. The Roosevelt sentiment nas disappeared. The Idaho delegation todav organ ized, re-elected J. W. Hart as National committeeman and made Senator Borah cnairman of their delegation.
