Chairman on Credentials.
CHICAGO. June 13. (Start Corre
epondence.) Senator Bourne Is here
with the wreck of his great second
elective term boom; but his arrival to
day created no visible consternation
among: the Taft managers and no grcot
excitement among the hngers-on
around the hotel lobbies, who are al
ways quick to scent the latest sensa
tion. Indeed, the utter absence of any
thing; like a stir over the appearance
of the long-advertised "second elective
term" bandwagon tends to make one
suspect that the popular and eloquent
Oregon Senator may not, after all, be
In Chicago, for I find it necessary to
confess that -I have not eeen him nor,
so far as I have been able to learn, has
anyone else seen him who ever saw
him before.
Disappointment as Spellbinder.
My only authority for saying he is here
Is an evening local paper, which an
nounced In an obscure place that Bourne
had reached Chicago and aiso informed
a disappointed public that he was not
now going to hold and address a mass
meeting in behalf of his friend, the Presi
dent. From ainTiWir'WnTTSennferred
thtt the deserved local reputation of the
Senator as a spellbinder has been spread
abroad and opportunity is anxiously
awaited here as well as in Congress to
hear his clarion voice raised in behalf of
seme worthy cause.
Taft on First Ballot.
The truth is there is no Roosevelt talk
here from any quarter, not excepting
Bourne himself, who has so far been ap
parently dumb on his latest hobby. Ev
erything Is "Taft, Taft. Taft."
There is not the slightest question
about the nomination of the War Sec
retary for President. He has the nec
essary votes and has the party machin
ery. Nothing is lacking, it would seem,
to make his victory absolutely certain
when the day and the hour arrive. The
presentation of the names of other can
didates will be made as a matter of
form, that is all. If there was ever a
doubt about Taft's success, it was re
moved when the National committee
completed its work In the numerous
Southern contests. In the great majority
of cases Taft delegates were seated,
giving him, so his managers estimate,
more than 700 delegates, over 200 in
excess of the necessary majorit. This
Taft estimate 13 doubtless approxi
mately correct and will be Justified
by the events.
Contests Were Fictitious.
The allies say that the National com
mittee, dominated by Taft men, seated
Taft 'delegates' only because they were
instructed or had otherwise promised
to vote for Taft. They talk about the
Taft "steam-roller" crushing everybody
that got in its way on the political turn-
lke. The facts eeem to be, however.
that these so-called contests were in
most cases fictitious and without merit.
Senator Fulton, of Oregon, who was
present throughout the sessions of the
ommlttee, holding the proxy from Cali
fornia, and who took a ery active part
n the proceedings, says unqualifiedly
hat the committee was Inspired through-
lout by a desire to do Justice and that

Novelists to Barmaids.
LONDON, June 13. Marshaled in
eight columns on the Victoria Em
bankment, a great army of from 12,000
to 15,000 women suffragists paraded
the metropolis this afternoon and
wound up with a meeting at Albert
Hall, at which such well-known wo
men as Dr. Anna Shaw, Lady Henry
Somerset and Lady Frances Balfour
voiced the demand of women for an
immediate extension of the franchise
Fifteen bands of music enlivened the
parade and nearly a thousand banners
were borne by the different contingents.
The great procession was swelled in
Trafalgar Square by several thousand
barmaids, who had been demonstrating
against the licensing bill. This, the
barmaids aver, threatens to deprive
them of their livelihood.
All sorts of women whose conditions
In life are as wide asunder as the
poles, took part In the march. There
were university women in caps and
gowns, writers, dramatists, artists, doc
tors, clerks, nurses, factory hands and
domestic workers.
Sarah Grand, Beatrice Harraden,
Elizabeth Bobbins, Lady Onslow, Mrs.
Alfred Lyttleton and Getrude Kings
ton were among the more notable
women that marched at the head of the
different sections. Dr. Anna Shaw and
Miss Lucy J. Anthony, delegates from
the United States, led the procession
in carriages. The second landau con
tained Mrs. Catherine McCulloch, of
Evanston, 111.; Mrs. Stewart, piesident
of the Illinois Suffrage Association,
and Mrs. Medley, of New York.

CHICAGO, June 13. Thp tramp of con
vention hosts is now fully under way and
tonight Chicago is beginning to throb
with the confusion and announcement of
arriving throngs, some with'banners and
flags and gaily uniformed marchers, oth
ers made up of state delegations with
their conspicuous leaders and their co
horts of strong-lunged followers and
shouters. Others with the friends and
admirers of the star political candidates
and still others and again others of thd
curious onlookers, drawn from every sec
tion of the country, including many of
the representatives of foreign govern
ments, who have come to witness this
National spectacle.
. All day special and regular trains have
emptied thousands of strangers Into this
political Mecca. The effect of the influx
is seen tonight in the throngs that crowd
the streets, the crowded hotels, the strains
of music and the oratory heard from some
of the halls and the boundless hospitality
which these halls are beginning to dis
pense. Calmer Than Other Conventions.
Yet this tore-gathering of the conven
tloil T)f lnayanTrray established a re
cord for unusual calm and tranquillity,
for, measured by the din and turmoil, the
scenes of delirious excitement and the
spirit of die-in-the-last-ditch which has
marked some historic gatherings of the
past, this invading army of delegates and
spertators is a most staid ana unemotional
body. But it is none the less an army,
with new committees coming to the front
hourly and with the prospect of plenty of
hurrah and fireworks ahead to animate
the loaders and stir the blood of the on
lookers. A drizzling rain tonight, after
a hot, muggy day, tended to restrain the
outbursts of enthusiasm, but there is a
promise of good weather.
Notable Men Abound.
Centers of interest today have been
the arriving delegations, with many of
the leaders of conspicuous National prom
inence and followers of the various politi
cal candidates. Among the notable con
vention followers to arrive were Don
Cameron, ex-United States. Senator from
Pennsylvania, who has not attended a
National convention since the convention
of 18S0, when he stood with Roscoe
Conkling and John A. Logan as the lead
ers of the third-term movement in the
interest of General Grant, and Henry
Taft, brother of the Secretary of War;
Chauncey Depew, who eight years ago.
attended the Philadelphia convention,
with his speech seconding the nomination
of Theodore Roosevelt for Vice-President;
Representative Sereno E. Payne, of New
York, chairman of the ways and means
committee of the House' of Representa
tives, who bears on his ample shoulders a
good deal of the burden of future tariff
revision; United States Senator Long, of
Kansas, who is reputed to have the Dol
liver Vice-Presidential boom in cold stor
age; James F. Sherman and Timothy L.
Woodruff, of New York, both receptive
Vice-Presidential possibilities; ex-Governor
Yates, of Illinois, with his clean
shaven, actor-like "face and a willingness
to consider his return to the Governor's
chair, and a host of others notable in the
political world.

OHEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 13. Instructions were to
day sent to Assistant Attorney-General
Cooley at Boise to call on United
States Marshal Ruel Rounds and de-.
mand his resignation and if he refused
to resign today Mr. Cooley was in
structed to dismiss him, as he had pre
viously dismissed District Attorney
Ruick. Up to a late hour this evening
the White House had not been advised
what action had been taken in regard
to Mr. Rounds, but it is learned un
officially that he refused to resign. If
that is true, he was undoubtedly dis
missed by Mr. Cooley.
Mr. Rounds will be succeeded by R.
L. Hodgson, who has been recom
mended by Senator Borah. It is ex
pected that his appointment will be
announced on Monday.
Pernicious Aid to Ruick.
Mr. Rounds was very active in assisting
District Attorney Ruick in working up
the case against Senator Borah and used
his influence to secure a grand jury that
would be hostile to the Senator. It was
demonstrated beyond doubt that Mr.
Rounds and Mr. Rukk were in a conspir
acy to defame Mr. Borah, and the Presi
dent determined to make a clean sweep,
taking out of office ail who were party
to what he regards as a dastardly scheme
to blacken the Innocent.
While Mr. Ruick was regarded as the
principal offender and prime mover in
bringing about the Borah indictment,
Mr. Rounds Is blamed for becoming an
accessory, and his offense is regarded as
hardly less serious than that of the Dis
trict Attorney. In the eyes of the Ad
ministration, the unjustifiable indictment
of Mr. Borah, returned Just prior to the
Haywood trial, was the mor rocious.
as it was evidently arranged tc wrn'rm
Mr. Borah in his prosecution of the men
charged with the murder of Steunenberg.
What Angered Roosevelt.
The President was Intensely desir
ous that the prosecution of that case
should have all possible force, he hav
ing publicly denounced the defendants
in that case as "undesirable citizens,"
and he was personally highly incensed
at the manner in which Mr. Ruick
manipulated the chatges against Mr.
Borah.
Before - leaving Idaho, Mr. Cooley
will investigate various candidates for
District Attorney and will report upon
his return to Washington. It is prob
able that Senator Borah will return
after the Chicago convention to con
fer with the President about this ap
pointment. Pending a decision, one of
the assistant attorneys will be desig
nated by Mr. Cooley to run the office of
District Attorney.

SEATTLE, Wash., June 13. (Spe

men were called out this afternoon to
assist in the hunt for the 3-year-old
son of Second Lieutenant G. W. Ewell,

For three hours the soldiers, officers,
women and children searched the build

back, without finding any trace of the
little child. The Seattle police were
notified to look out for the boy.
About 5 o'clock word was received
at the Fort that the boy had been
located about a mile from the Mili

WASHINGTON, June 13. Henry E.
Reed, of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Ex
position, today filed with the Secre
tary of the Treasury a plea for the im
mediate use of the appropriation of
$600,000 for the Government buildings
and exhibits at Seattle. The law mak
ing the appropriation stipulates that
this appropriation shall not become
available until the exposition' manage
ment has put up $1,000,000. Mr. Reed
submitted statements of amounts con
tributed and available, and asked that
a liberal construction be placed upon
the law so that work can begin Imme
diately on the Government buildings.
If this is not done, lie says, several
months will be consumed in raising
additional funds, and suc.i delay would
necessitate a postponement of the ex
position until 1910. He expects a de

armed with "forty-flves" and sawed-oft
shotguns on a man-hunt. The stage
from Schurz, carrying the Wells-Fargo
express box, came lumbering In here
two hours late this afternoon, and Tony
Cano, . the driver, from the top of his
stage, shouted the news that he had
been held up and the box taken. The
hold-up occurred six miles outside the
camp, where the desert is broken with
hillocks and masses of rocks.
Hidden Behind Rocks.
Two men Jumped out Into the road
from behind a clump of rocks and or
dered Tony to halt and throw down
the box and "be quick about It." Not
withstanding the fact that the mercury
was trying to climb over the thermom
eter, Tony was as quick as any high
wayman could wsih. The two men
were dressed In undershirts and khaki
trousers. One was very stout and iiad
his face half concealed by a handker-.
chief tied across it, and the other had"
his hidden by a gunny-sack.
Rawhide was all excitement in a min
ute and deputy sheriffs and the state
police wanted to hear no more except
that the robbers carried "forty-five" Colt
revolvers. It was to horse for the Sher
iffs and to the autos for the state police.
Five minutes after the arrival of the
stage the officers, were off on the man
hunt. Empty Box Found.
None of the horsemen has returned
up to tills writing, but one auto has
come back, with the empty box smashed
to smithereecris. The contents of tin
box are estimated at various amounts,
ranging from a few thousand to $20.0jO
or $0,000. It la said on what seems to
be pretty good information that the
Coalition Mines Company, the biggest
operating company in the camp, had
$10,000 in the box.
One of the automobiles has returned,
having punctured a tire in the hot pur
suit, and the officers in it were trans
ferred to another machine. The chau
ffeur reported that the officers were
then half an hour behind two men In
