TAFT GETS CALIFORNIA AND ALSO Wins in Contest Over District Giving Roosevelt 69,000 Majority in Primary MASS MEETING CALLED Pennsylvania and West Virginia Republicans Will Accept Taft As Nominee Under no Circumstances, Declare Leaders of the Progressives. Chicago, Illinois, June 12 The national committee today seated two Taft delegates from the fourth district of California. Francis J. He ney was bitter In his denunciation of the committeemen for their action. Heney said: "I am before the national commit tee to tell President Taft, through his committee, that If he accepts the two delegates from the fourth California district, he Is the receiver of stolen goods." This statement resulted In a bitter debate In which the California attor ney bitterly assailed the motives of Senator Crane of Massachusetts, and Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania. Other Roosevelt men made open charges that Taft committeemen had robbed Roosevelt of two fairly elected delegates. .... The national committee's vote on the contest of the fourth California district was 37 for seating Taft men to 16 against. The two Roosevelt del egates were elected by a majority of more than 69,000 In the state wide primary, and the two Taft men who were seated in their stead had a local majority of 150 votes. F. C. Bryan, a law partner of Gen eral Charles Dick, Taft's contest man ager, argued for TaU. Heney spoke for the Roosevelt delegates. After Bryan was through with his argu ment, Senator Penrose of Pensvlva nia. asked if he knew the California legislature had "flagrantly and delib erately violated the law by forcing through the California primary' law under the lash of Governor Johnson." Heney was on his feet Instantly. "I object," he said, "to my state being insulted by Senator Penrose or any one else. I won't silently permit any one to libel Governor Johnson." Frances J. Heney, the graft prose cutor, today attacked members of the national committee. He said: "The committee's handling of the contest is disgraceful. It is the most scandalous farce I ever saw enacted and I have watched the methods of the toughest politicians In the world those of San Francisco. I sent Ruef to the penitentiary for doing the same things, but there are no laws to take care of the situation in the national committee's case." Roosevelt men declare the action o the national committee in seating the two Taft delegates from the fourth district of California, is part of a plan to lay a foundation for an attack on the whole delegation rrom California and other states where delegates were elected from the stat at larg. This attack thy say will ne made on cre dentials. In connection with the California contest, Heney read a letter from Governor Johnson. It said: "I decline to appear before a com mittee and will not submit to a trial for title of property by a thief who steals again. It would be an insult to the people of California for me to appear before a committee which ob sequiously receives Patrick Calhoun's man, Hogue, or even listens to a con test by Calhoun, designed to override a majority of 77,000 California repub licans which prejudiced the contest." The national committee today seat ed the Taft delegates at large from Arizona. This is the most serious blow Roosevelt has yet received at the hands of the national committee. Ormsby McIIarg, Roosevelt repre sentative in the contests, contended tho election of tho Taft delegates BAND CONCERT TO 8E GIVEN ON STREETS TONIGHT BY ROUNDUP COWBOY MUSICIANS Weather permitting the Round-Up Cowboy band will discourse music on the streets tonight, the presence of the 101 Ranch In the city Friday mak ing it impracticable to have the con cert on tho usual date. Tho band, under the leadership of Chauncey Haines, has been practicing faithfully several times a week and its weekly concerts are real musical treats. The following is the program as arranged for tonight: DELEGATIONS TO . DENOUNCE PRESIDENT from Maricopa county to the Arizona state convention wag Illegal and Ir regular. He said the entire state re sult hinged on this county. The first denunciation of Taft'a candidacy will come at a mass meet ing of Roosevelt followers to be held here tonight. The candidacy anil ad ministration of Taft will be attacked by Governor Johnson of California, Francis J. Heney, Governor Stubbs of Kansas and Judge Lindsey of Denver. William Flynn, leader of the pro gressives of Pennsylvania, and Gov ernor Glasscock of West Virginia, de clared those states would not recog nize Taft as the re-ular republican nominee should the Taft men control the convention. Speaking for West Virginia and Pennsylvania, Glasscock and Flynn declared the Taft nomination would not be accepted under any circum stances. Flynn and Glasscock declared tha electors and delegators of Pennsyl vania and West Virginia will support Roosevelt in the electoral college even is Taft is nominated. Flynn said: "If they steal the roll call of this convention, we will protect ourselves. The Pennsylvania state delegation haa not adjourned. We have thirty of the thirty-eight delegates and noth ing can prevent our electors voting; for Roosevelt Even If Taft's name Is on the ballot our electors are not bound to vote for him. This wuld mean the defeat of the national re publican ticket but would save us Peuncylvania." Many Taft and Roosevelt leaders today dropped all other work and de voted their efforts to getting delegates and candidates' support for their temporary convention organization plans. They realize the control of the temporary organization of the con vention may mean the control of the permanent organization. 1200 YARDS OF DIRT LIFTED WITH A SHOT Twelve hundred yards of earth and rock were displaced at 1:30 this af ternoon at the cut which Is being made on the Wild Horse road east of this city. So well had the explosives been placed and so great the precau tions taken that absolutely no dam age was done and the blast is consid ered by Engineer C. H. Martin as highly successful.

Sixteen kegs of powder had been im bedded and shortly after 1:30 It was exploded, the noise being deadened so that it was not heard In the city.
