Proceedings Almost Devoid of
Interest
MEMBERS TERMED EMPLOYES
Contests From Florida, Georgia and
Kentucky Will be Heard Today
Total Number of Seats Affected
Being Thirty-four.
CHICAGO, June S.-Without roll
calls, the Republican national com
mittee tonight decided on contests
from Alabama and Arkansas involv
ing 24 seats in the Republican nation
al convention in favor of delegates
instructed for Taft. Contests from
Florida, Georgai and Kentucky will
be heard tomorrow, the total number
of seats affected being 34. The pro
ceedings today would have been de
void of interest had it not been for
the effort to prevent Frank H. Hitch
cock, Taft's manager; Arthur F.
Stratter, former assistant secretary
and treasurer and Charles G. Phelps
of Washington, both assistants to
Hitchcock, from sitting in judgment
on the contests. These men held
proxies of the members of the na
tional committee from New Mexico,
Alaska and North Dakota, respec
tively. Their entrance into the executive
Session provoked Joseph B. Keating,
United States Attorney for the Dis
trict of Columbia, manager for Fair
banks and Representative James
Francis Burke of Pennsylvania who
acts for Knox to make vehement
protests. After a hurried conference
the anti-Taft forces protest was re
duced to writing. The recited fact
that Hitchcock is directly interested
in the management of one of the can
didates directly involved in the case
and "Therefor was disqualified to sit
in judgment" upon it. A similar pro
test was made in the cases of Stat
ter and Phelps who were termed "em
ployes" instead of "manager" for one
f the candidates. After considerable
debate, protests were laidjn the table
and the Alabama cases was taken up.

blocks.

was said that Mays might recover.

dragged along, a large number of
persons endeavored to stop the
frightened animal in its flight, in or-'
der to rescue him from his horrible
position, but this was not accomplish
ed until Crosby street and Holladay
avenue had been reached.
For the entire distance the victim
of the accident, his foot caught se
curely in the harness, was dragged
along with his face, head and shoul
ders pounding the pavement or side
lines of the bridge. His cries for help
were stlled before the horse had run
a great distance, owing to his being
knocked insensible. Unable to stop
the horse, men stood and groaned in
horror at being forced to witness any
thing so frightful without being able
to lend any assistance.

on His Life

The "Rappel" .Says That Gregory's
Revolver Did Much More Damage
to Nationalist Than to Dreyfus-
Newspapers Express Opinions.
PARIS. June S.-The press of all
shades of opinion deplore the attempt
yesterday on the life of Major Drey
fus, although the various newspapers
see widely different causes for the
shooting.
The Gaulois, a paper with which
Gregori was connected, blames par
liament for re-opening by yesterday's
ceremony, an era of discord which
was beginning to disappear. It also
disapproves of Dreyfus who calls
himself a soldier, gracing the triumph
of the author of the "Debacle."
Ernest Judet in the Nationalist
Eclair writes in a similar vein. He
regrets "the culpable diversion which
saved the official manifestation from
ridicule and odium in which it was
foundering," but adds: "Dreyfus is
a most uncouth Caesar but Gregori
is far from being a Brutus."
Government and Socialist organs
stigmrtize the attempt which they at
tribute to the violent campaign car
ried cn by the Nationalist and Royal
ist press.
The Rappel says that Gregori's re
volver did much more damage to
Nationalists than to Dreyfus.
The Aurore understands that Gen.
Picsuart, the minister of war, will
submit to President Fallieres for sig
nature a decree nominating Major
Dreyfus as an officer of the Legion of
Honor.
