When at 11:15 o'clock this morn ing the second day's session of the national republican convention be gan, Senator Root announced the un finished business of the day the mo tion of Watson that the convention ccu to uie aiipoiiumeiii or regu- jar committees and the substitute , :UIU" " i.overiior nauiey mar tne ; iiooseveu list ot delegates be sutistl-if uuea ror me temporary roll. He ninu aunuuuceu an agreement to ai- low three hours for debate of these i motions and asked if there was ob- i jection. There was not. It had been agreed in advance that there should be no preliminary poiins of order against the Roosevelt mo tion, the Taft forces agreeing to fight the matter out before the dele gates. Governor Hadley began, an ex planation of the situation confront ing the convention." He' reviewed the events of yesterday leading up to the ruling of National Committee Chair man Rosewater, which quashed the Hadley motion to purge the tempo rary roll. "We could have met immediately and forcibly this arbitrary and un parliamentary ruling," said Hadley, and he was roundly cheered. "We could have forcibly Insisted on call ing the roll on that mr.tion and we could have forcibly tak'en control. Instead we chose to wait patiently until today." Governor Hadley did not attempt to gii into details of the various con tested cases, saying he would leave that to other speakers, lie read the indictment of the national committee as uttered by Colonel Koosevelt in his Monday night speech and it called out a big cheer. He then read a statement from 14 members of the national committee protesting against the action of the majority in seating many ( f the dele gates, particularly in the California. Texas and Washington cases. Hadley was given th- closest at tention throughout. la closing, he declared tiit'.t when the vote on the stlbroll came he would contend thai on the question submitted only the votes of these delegates who.se seats were net contested be allowed to bal lot. A number of speakers appeared on both sides of the question, the de bate waxing hotter and hotter as tne lime allowed for argument proceed ed. James E. Watson concluded the argument against the Hadley motion. He was interrupted several times and there were renewed calls for Hadley. The governor appeared and then be- gan the greatest demonstration or,,",,m-- ' 'l"S macnniei y is ne the convention up to this time. A.

The delegates burst into wild cheering which presently brought the j delegates up standing. Then began j a series of impromptu parades. Call- i fornia began to shout, "We want j Teddy," and in a moment the whole ' auditorium was a moving mass of i men with banners, yelling at the tops of their voices, the galleries aiding in the noise. After three-quarters of an hour of demonstration Watson moved to re fer the Hadley resolution to the cre dentials committee. Governor Deneen of Illinois moved as an amendment to Iladley's resolu tion that no man whose seat was con tested should participate in the judg ment on his own case. Watson moved to table the Deneen motion. Chairman Root said he understood the Deneen motion to mean that none of the delegates named in the Hadley resolution could vote on any contest ed seat. 1 The roll call on the motion to tabie the Deneen amendment began at 4:15 and resulted in favor of the Taft men by a vote of 564 to 510, four not voting.

A large crowd of frienr' gathered at the family residence on Pine street at 10 o'clock this miming to pay their last sad respects to the memory of William Patterson, a public ser vant, whose departure from the ac- tiviries of life is a matter of uni versal sorrow. The services were conducted by the Christian Science 'church at the house, and by the A. O. V. W. and Knights of Pythias r.t the grave in Ashland cemetery. William Patterson waf born near j ' LaFayette, .-vshlnnd county. Ohio, .May in. M5. He was the fourth in a family of 14, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Patterson of Ashland' , county, Ohio. In 162 the family. ; consisting of the parents and tight children, moved to this valley and ! settled on a farm north of this city I and near to Talent. William live.! i ! on tlie farm with his father until: 1)66. when he began siwmilihig on; his own responsibility, erecting a1 .mill on Wagner creek, and later con-1 : ducting a similar enterprise on Big ; Butte creek. Subsequently he re-1 i liu ved to the North I'mpqua river i in Douglass county and ran a mill j I tor a couple of years, then sold out I and came to Ashland, where he fol j lowed the carpenter's and builder's trade for several years. He also be 'caine interested in mining in Siskiyou county, California, giving up these combined interests to become super I intendent of the Ashland waterworks Jin 1900. Mr. Patterson was married to Miss Annie E. Clift in Jacksonville March 11. 1874. He Is survived by a widow jand six children, one child having died in infancy. They are: Mrs. R. R. Robley of Portland. Mrs. Jessie Percival of Independence. Mrs. Elsie Churchman. Mrs. W. C. Mitchell. Harold and Margaret of this city. He also leaves two sisters and six brothers, three of whom reside in 'this vicinity, Mrs. James Thornton j and Sylvester Patterson of Ashland and Joshua Patterson. f( rinerly county commissioner, of Talent, i In the death of Mr. Patterson the i community loses a valuable servant. During the twelve years that he has i been superintendent of tl- Ashland I waterworks he Iras given eminent sat isfaction and to him is largely due ' the present excellent water system j that Ashland enjoys. I'nder his con jtrol the works have been enlarged, j new machinery placed, and additions i made that have, been invaluable for the equalization of water distribu tion. Kind, genial, always ready to (lend a helping hand for the hetter- nient of his fellow-man. Mr. Patter son commanded a host of friends. Devoted to his duty, careful and painstaking, he administered the af fairs of the city placed in his hands In a way that made him almost indis- pensable to the system. His position was a responsible one nnd he gave it the best possible service, lu an of ficial capacity, in his home and on the street he will be greatly missed, as a man devoted to duty and uni versally popular. He was a member ' of the Christian Science church, of j which organization he was treasurer. ;The Knights of Pythias and A. O.'l'. i W. named him among their member ship. In the former he was a past chancellor and in the; latter past no ble workman. Resolutions of Respect. Ashland, Ore.. June IS. 1912. At a regular meeting ot the city council, held Tuesday evening.

Following a recent decision of the attorney general In which he held that it was lawful to sell salmon caught with a hook, the first tish dealers peddling salmon of Rogue river appeared in Medford Tuesday.

The Roosevelt foices. acting, they said, under the personal; direction of the colonel liiuis.-lf, be- j gan to lay plans for independent ac-i tion in the national convention. As I a forerunner of the more drastic ac- I tlon expected tomorrow ( r Friday in the convention, the Roosevelt mem bers of the committee on credentials withdrew from that body and In ef fect withdrew all of the Roosevelt contests which had been scaled from !I2 to 7S. Colonel Roosevelt was in the midst of it series of conferences toniuht and busy figuring on loyaf delegates whom he could expect to carry with him out of the convention, or rather into the separate convention on the Coliseum floor in the . vein a ci isis is readied. Persons who talked with the colonel tonighl said there was no lon ger any doubt of his attitude.

The Missouri delegation in the conven tion had a caucus tonight for the purpose, it was declared, of formally launching a boom for Governor Hadley. A remarkable demonstra tion was given the Missouri execu tive in the convention today, which, together with the sudden turn in af fairs, was said to have strengthened their belief that the time was ripe for bringing forward a compromise candidate.

A nervous tension, due to a general expectation for tu mult nous scenes, "from the drop of the hat" at the opening of tlo' eon vi nt ion, w as apparent on all sides, the police as nervous as any one else. It was difficult even tor people with the proper tickets, including news Pi'iieriueii. to get into the hall. Out side a tremendous mob of people; gathered, making difficult the prog ress of ticket holders toward the. door. People began streaming iuU the Coliseum several hours befom the convention opened. The hand got to work and the first tune played was. "My Country. "I'is of Thee." Immediately after the invocation. Governor Hadley of Missouri, thej Roosevelt floor leader, rose to n question of information, taking th platform amid gnat cheering. Wat sou of Indiana followed to the plat-' '"i in. and Ba-nes of New York rosn ( a point of order. Hadley asked if the omi'orary nil had been pre pared.

He said that McGovern's candidacy was not representative of La Fol.'ette. Houser's announcement, as La Fol lette's manager, created great excite ment. McGovern's nomination was evi dently a plan of the Roosevelt forces to gel support from the Wisconsin man's following without first secur ing his endorsement. Chairman Rosewater, at this point, ordered the roll call amid great con fusion, and the secretary began to call the states alphabet ically, with the result that Root was elected with a substantial majority. Scenes of riot and confusion char acterized the session, hisses, groans and cheers being mingled almost In cessantly. Each attempt on the part of adherents of either sid to present the name of his candidate or to speak in support of him was greeted by a din I hiss of commingling shouts and s. Manv speeches were almost completely drowned in the din, so keen is the feeling that exists be tween the rival factions. A New Hat for the ( Vh brat ion.
