Some wanted to eland or full by the Hadley motion to aulixtitijtc the Roosevelt delegates for tht Tii ft men seated In the contest hy the national committee, while other wunt'd that fight to mark only the beginning of hostilities. They con ferred In whispers and It waa plain from their attitude that the difference of opinion, waa serious. Sanaa end Yet to Soot. Barnes sent a note to Senator Root and the temporary chairman, after read ing It. nodded an affirmative to Jim wrdsworth. It was Just 1 1 : X G a. m when Senator Hoot's gavel fell heavily on the ma hogany table in front of hltn. "Gentlemen w ill please clear the aisles and take their seat," he shouted. Hoot's voice wus very hoarse, and fitone came to his rescue. "Sergeant, please clear those aisles for me," Root said to the police officer In command, and the latter did Bo. While this was going on, Frank n. Kellogg, the Minnesota lawyer, laid the law down to the progressive leaders. He told them point blank that Francis J. ' , Heney was a detriment to the progres sive fight. "He simply stirs up trouble," said Kellogg, "and acts as a firebrand on every ocaslon. We have a chance to w fh this fight, and ought not to throw It aside by letting him speak. " Kellogg1 had his way, and It was egreed Heney would be "gagged" so far as the Hadley motion was concerned. , The Pan Francisco graft prosecutor Is I the California member of the committee on credentials, and If tho fight goes there he nlll have plenty of opportunity . to apeak. I Root stood watching the delegates (taking their time finding seats for about 'five minutes. Then he sat down In his i chair and took up a paper, which he read I carefully. ' Hadley Arrange Program. I Hadley came on the platform from the conference with his lieutenants with his program completed. He had agreed to present the proposition of the Roose velt men on the committee and also spe cifically to deal with the Texas contests. Governor Johnson was to discuss the California contests; Ueorge Record of New Jersey, on Arizona and Indiana and 'Heney or Allen on the other contests. ! Governor DIneen was to sum up the I case for the Roosevelt men and also to ask that the Hadley motion be divided so that the vote on California could be taken first. At 1:29 the opening Invocation was delivered by Rabbi Joseph ' Stoltz of Chicago, the delegates arid "spectators standing reverently. The prayer was Jong drawn out and many of the dele gates seemed restless before it was concluded. Jtoot-at once announced that the un finished business was the ' Hadley amendment. He stated that an agree ment for division of th time on hour d a half to each (Id had btn rchd. XoMTlt at. Cheer.

"One wa to arbitrarily meet th unparliamentary ruling of thu chair, the other was lo bring th mattor before tl.ls convention. We cho th latter course, and so bring thla question tefore ycu again 7i Delegates la QsMtloa. "We hold that thrr are 71 delegate placed on the temporary roll by th na tional committee that do not belong there. We now aak that th name of the man voted for hy 14 members of th atlor.al committee be put on thla roll and tha name of the men now on tha roll eliminated. I want to present to you the country wide Indictment against rhe action of the national committee. This question affects not only tha next convention, but also tha very existence of tha Repub lican party Itself." Hadley then reviewed th Roosevelt meeting of last Monoay night and re peated the Rooscvolt charge that th ac tion of the national committee "was making theft, designed to thwsrt th- will of the people of the I'nlted States." Eolog-y for Boossrelt. This assertion was greeted with ap plause as was Hadley s statement that he did not know whether the majority would agree, with him that T. R. was thu logical candidate for president. "Rut you will agree," he continued, "that he Is th? greatest power for good In the western world." Hadley then rend the statement signed by 14 members of the national commit tee, which was ' prepared by Senator Borah for presentation as a minority report on the contests. He held that the delegates In question should be re- fusfd votes until after their right to seats had been passed upon by the un contested delegates to the convention.

"We do." shouted New York, and the reason developed wben It was found that William L.. Ward had not signed the protest. "Where Is Ward?" "Where Is Ward?" shouted a New York delegate. "Mr. Ward unites In th spirit of the protest," said Hadley, "but as he did not sit In all contests, he did not sign the formal document." A shout went up from the New York I delegation, and Hadley quickly retorted I by shouting: "Mr. Ward does not sign any paper merely to advance, tho Inter ests of a cnndldnte because that man belongs to his faction and. regardless of the merits or the case. "I guess that will hold you for a while!" shouted Fllnn, from his seat In the Pennsylvania delegation. Hadley then referred to the California contest, saying that It was shown con clusively that the delegates from the fourth district who were unseated by the national committee carried the state by 77,000 votes.

Cries of "Hadley for president!" brought forth ademonstratlnn this afternoon that kept the Republican national convention In an uproar for more than 40 minutes. For a time It looked as If a etnmpedn was Imminent. Cheers greeted the Missouri governor when he was led to the front of the stage during argument on his motion to purge the roll of contested delegates. Someone cried "Hadley for president!" and hundreds of voices took It up. Then the different delegations began march ing around the hall.

Governor McGovern, elected chairman of the delegation, today received the resignation of Henry K. Cochems as a delegate. Several other delegates threat ened fclmllar action. It was rumored that McGovern himself might withdraw. His friends refused verification of that rumor, however, and he would not talk prior to the assembling of the conven tion. Bitterly Attacks Senator. Cochems, who nominated I-a Follettn for president four years ago today, cams out with a second bitter attack upon tho Wisconsin progressive, ex plaining his action In nominating Mc Govern for temporary chairman, and hla resignation. "La Follette himself and his men sre out to lick Roosevelt; that's all." said Cochems. "They are utterly disregard ing the progressive principles, the fight for the people, which Itoosevelt, Just as much as I. a Follette, Is waging. For 10. days.

Chicago, June 19 Last night Colonel Roosevelt in the presence of a score of his friends went carefully -over his po sition before making his announcement to the, delegates, ills friends divided Into two camps thoso who holel that the fight against the crooked delegates should go to the committee on creden tials, and those who believed that the convention should be asked to let no state from the contested list namo a memher of the committee on credentials so that the Jury beforo which the case Is tiled may Vie a clean Jury. A careful poll of the credentials com mittee as It Is provisionally 'chosen, In cluding the fraudulent delegations, shows a Taft majority of five. Whether that majority would follow tho national committee subserviently, no one knows, but Roosevelt does not propose to pre sent his case to a packed Jury. Colonel Depends TTpom Ward. William I- Ward, natlonnl committee man from New Vork, thinks the ques tion will be left to go to the committee on credentials no matter how It Is made up. Because of tho grossly apparent frauds. Ward's word In political mat ters goes a long way with Colonel Roosevelt. It wag upon Ward's advice that th, colonel's plans were changed Tuesday morning Just before th con vention met and th? break was not made Tuesday. Ward was backed hy Oixon, who earnestly believes he can win. Dixon stands with Ward now for fighting it rltar to the end.

Th pardon of Mays causes no sur prise locally, as it Is considered a natu ral step, following the pardon granted to William N.

The same reasons aie assigned for the pardon of Mays as for the pardon of Jones.-being In effect that the Jury bo wss packed b v Francis J. Henev. tha government prdsecator, and William J.

Han- nan, secretary to the senator, and .Walter Rogers, Wisconsin national committeeman, united today In declar ing that Wisconsin, and also the. North Dakota delegations would vote solidly at all times for thei nomination of La Follette. They said isconsln s 2. votes will be cast with the Taft forces, "against .purging the temporary roll." "Proposition Utterly Absurd. "The proposition of Governor Hadley and the Roosevelt crowd is utterly ab surd too wild eyed for consideration," said 'Colonel Hannan, "Why should a personally conducted roll of delegates, as chosen' by Hadley. or any one else, be substituted for those chosen by the national comnilttee? Wa will vote to have the whole affair referred to the credentials- committee," Manager Houser also declared the Roosevelt plan Is "Indefensible." '"In all of the contests, probably J000 briefs and affidavits sirs prepared," sai1 (Continuad Fag Flva.) at a noisy mo! and obviously wondered what It would do next. The pallorles of the national Republican convention .were supposed to be packed by the na tional committee for Taft, but it was a loose and inferior Job of packing and many, perhaps a fair half of the gal leries, were of Roosevelt men slipped In so the cheering and hissing was equal ly distributed. While the preliminary motions were pending and before the first vote was taken the deep emotions of the crowd came into Its voice. It was an intense crowd, so the speakers who took strong sides, as Johnson and tort and Pavne did, found. Hadley and Watson avoided strong feeling and got only negative applause; that Is, they were not hissed and hooted, but hissing and hooting came easily. The unemotional qualities of the Taft . delegates contrasted w ith the manifestations of the Roosevelt dele gates, so that It seemed that Roosevelt's supporters were In the majority, but no vote Ies than a two to one vote could have brought forth the marked differ ence between th Roosevelt and Taft delegates. The difference In temperament between th forces -wss admirably indicated In the behavior of the delegates. The Taft Mrs. Rachel Louise Hawthorne, a pioneer of Oregon and one Whose name is Interwoven with the history of the east side, died last night at 10 o'clock at. her home at East Twelfth and Hal-" mon streets. For the. last month she had been In failing health, suffering a nervous breakdown which gradually wore out her strength. Her dangerous Illness was not generally known, and the news of her death came as a sur prise to the community today. Mrs. Hawthorne was 77 years of age. She went to California from her home In the east In 1819 and there met Ir. J. C. Hawthorne, to whom she was married In that state. She came with her husband to Oregon In 1865 and Pr. Hawthorne built up a large practice, establishing a hospital. H also be came largely Interested In real estate, making the foundation of the ample fortune of later years. Two daughters and two grandchildren survive Mrs. Hawthorne The daugh ters ate Mrs. Whitney L. Boise and Mrs. M. O. Collins. The grandchildren are Donald Hawthorne Heck and Catherine Beck. Dr. Hawthorne died In 1SS1. and the management of the est.ite afterward largely devolved on Mrs. Hawthorne, who devoted much of her time to busi ness affairs The est.ite was organized as a corporation and has been operated as a unit. The original Hawthorne park, one of the first -platted additions on the east sid. extended from Kast Second street to East Sixteenth and from) Helinotit to Hawthorne avenue. At the time IT. Hawthorne died this was for the most part an unimproved field. Mrs. Hawthorne was a member of St. David's Episcopal chureh and gave liberally In privat charities. Funeral services wWtAbe. held at tier late resi dence at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon. Mrs. Hawthorne will be burled beside her husband in Lone Fir cemetery.
