Sixteen delca-ates from Alabama and
eight from Arkansas were' ' given to
Taft, In addition to the Oeorgla dele
gates. So far every Taft delegate who
has been up for hearing has been
placed on the convention temporary roll
and In almoat every case this has been
done with Roosevelt committeemen's
consent.
This clears the docket for the tak
ing up early next week of the cases
upon which the Roosevelt people are
laving far more stress thsn those from
the South, such cases, for example, as
those from Indiana, which probably
will bn taken up when the committee

They may be taken up Monday or may

WALL STREET MAY '
SUPPORT COLONEL
MO CT 1 1 PIECE OF 'POWERS HAS
ACCOUNT OF CONFERENCES.
Kuhn, Loeb Co. Spokesman
Quoted Roosevelt's Ideaa on
Railroads Swing Support.
NEW YORK. June . (Special.)-
Some of the powerful interesfs In Wall
street, according to a statement pub
lished In the Wall Street Journal this
afternoon, have decided to support the
candidacy of Colonel Roosevelt. The
article refers specifically to a certain
bank, and It Is an open secret In the
street that this means Kuhn. Loeb k
Company. The article embodies an in
tervlew which is attributed to Otto H.
Tiuhn. a member of Kuhn. Loeb Com
pany, who is recognised as the spokes
man of the firm, if not Its dominant
partner.
The Journal Is published by Dow.
Jones Company, who control one of
the Wall street ticker companies, and
It Is often used by the powers of Wall
street to place their views before the
public.
The article has caused a sensation
In the financial world and is as fol
lows. In part:
"Theodore Roosevelt's bitter and most
powerful enemies In Wall street have
capitulated. Within the last 10 days,
following a series of conferences at
Oyster Bay between midnight and
dawn, the whole complexion of the
Presidential campaign has changed.
Theodore Roosevelt Is the only man
who can convince the people of the
I'nlted States of the fairness of the
demand of the railroads that they be
allowed to earn sufficient to prevent a
diversion of capital from railroad se
curities. He sees the position the rail
roads are In."
MERCURY SINKS 13 POINTS
Weather Man Makes No Promises
for Week Rain In Places. (
Although Portland experienced none.
rain fell yesterday In many parts of
the state and quite neavtly In places.
The thermometer showed a drop to 72
degrees, a difference of II degrees. A
freshening breese from the northwest
blew.
The weather man would make no
forecast for the week. All he could
say was that In all probability the
weather would be fine" today, with
the wind unchanged. The barometer
s low, and conditions in the state gen
erally are unsettled. While this does
not seem to augur well for the week,
the atmospheric disturbance may be
short-lived, as Is often the caae. es
pecially when thunder Is In the air.
Roses were held back from opening
too rapidly and falling off by the cool
ness yesterday and when Monday comes
there should be a profusion of. blooms.
GRANTS PASS HAS PARADE
Rote Exhibit Snrpasees That of 'Any
Previous Year. .
Olt ANTS PASS. Or.. June (Spe
cial.) The. parade of the rose exhibit
today waa superior to that of any pre
vious year, and the roses were- more
beautiful owing to the cool weather
that has predominated for the past two
days.
The pavilion was a mass of Oregon
beauties and row upon row stood out
in their glory against the dark .back
ground, while hundreds of people
viewed the exhibit. Much more Inter
est has been manifested In the com
petition. The heavy thunder storm of
10 o'clock this morning passed away
before the time for the big parade, ao
that little damage waa done to the
floats. Tonight some way for the
lighting of the dance-hall will have to
be provided, other than by electricity.

today by the State Board of Prison Di

The Board based Its decision, not on
the fact that Ruef failed to win the
signed support of Judge Law'.ir.. who
sentenced him. but on general grounds
that this was not a fit time for the

CHICAGO. June (.(Special.) Colo
nel Roosevelt and his managing com
mittee will direct an attack on the Taft
forces when the convention opens at
the Coliseum. This was the substance
of the first authentic statement to the
effect that the ex-President Intended
to come to Chicago and direct his own
battle against the "steam roller" and
was given by George W. Perkins, finan
cier and reported manager of the
finances of the Roosevelt campaign, to
day. Rumor had been current for several
days that the ex-President Intended to
come to Chicago and conduct his battle
In the convention, but until the state
ment waa made by Mr. Perklna doubt
of the credibility of the rumor was
prevalent
Perklaa le Baa-age Raansa.
Not alone will the Colonel fight for
the delegates he claims as his. but he
will be assisted during the convention
by members of the managing commit
tee, and Mr. Perkins' visit to Chleago
Is for the purpose of arranging for
rooms for himself and others who will
attend the convention.
Colonel Roosevelt will arrive In Chi
cago the latter part of next week, and
arrangements for quarters for hlra and
his managing committee are being
made at the Blarkstone Hotel.

Mr. Perkins will call upon some of
the Roosevelt cohorts and will confer
with them on the status of tiie chances
of the ex-President In the convention,
after which he will leave for Ohio.
What the Import of his visit to Ohio is
cannot be learned. Following a short
sojourn In Ohio he will go to New York
and then hurry back to Chicago.
What are Colonel Roosevelt's plans
for the convention?" he was asked.
"I cannot say when he will arrive
here, but I understand he will get here
the end of next week."

"Can you give an Idea of what the
expense of the Roosevelt campaign has

Rodeo Is to Be Annual Event.
KLAMATH FALIA Or, June '.
(Special.) The Rodeo la assured as an
annual event In Klamath Falls, It waa
announced today, as a result of the
pleasant surprise of the member of
the local Elks lodge when they bal
anced their books on the event and
found .that the first Rodeo lost them
only $250. They had expected to pay
a loss of more than $1000. That the
lodge will not lose anything by The
first Rodeo Is anticipated because word
was received today from a moving-pic
ture concern that the order waa to be
allowed to be the first to aahlbit the
motion-picture films taken during the
show. The films will be loaned to
the lodge for two nights and the re
ceipts from their exhibition will prob
ably make up the deficit.

That all life on Kadlak Island and

The wave Indications In Shellkoff

For this reason, as well as because of
tha smoke and asbea, the Dora did not
dare to approach Kadlak.

extinct. The natlvea have no tradi
