Claims President's Renomlnatlon Was
Unjust and Illegal,
Washington, D. C. Senator Works,
of California, progressive Republican,
presenting in the senate a resolution
to investigate recent campaign con
tributions and expenditures, declared
that rresident Taft's renomination had
been procured unjustly and illegally.
California needed no new party, he
said, and the Republican party might
better go down to defeat for the sins
of its leaders and come up four years
hence than to form a new party.
Senator Works said his resolution
was based on charges publicly made
by President Taft and ex-President
Roosevelt. The resolution declares it
is common knowledge that public offi
cials from the president, cabinet o Ul
cers and senators down, have engaged
in the pre-convention campaign.
It directs the investigation of the
financial transactions of the Democra
tic and Republican candidates for the
presidential nomination, calls for
names of officials engaged in the cam
paign and their salaries, the percent
age of voters in the primaries and
payments to newspapers and news
paper writers and the amount of ex
penses of delegates paid by others.
The resolution stirred the senate,
but was not acted upon. Mr. Works
charged that men sent to Washington
to discharge public duties had been
giving their time to carrying on polit
ical campaigns.
"Doesn t that apply to certain mem
bers of this body," asked Senator
Nelson, of Minnesota.
"I think it does," replied Senator
Works.
Mr. Works asserted that a new
party in California would mean turn
ing the "purified Republican party,
there, back to special interests.

forty-third ballot bis progress was
slow. His managers had confidently
expected his nominalon on the forty

to nominate. Clark's total at that
time had dwindled to 306.
Baltimore, July 2. The deadlock in

U. S. Treasury Ends Fiscal Yea'
With $23,000,000.
Washington, D. C. The Federal
government closed the fiscal year with
a surplus of f 2.000,000, according to
estimates based on incomplete returns
from the various sources of revenue
th ponntrv over. This amount far
exceeded the expectations of Secretary
MacVeagh, who months ago estimated
that the surplus would be 110.250.000.
The surplus at the close of the fiscal
year lail was $4t,bJz,uuu. ,
The failure of congress to pass gen
eral deficiency 8nd other appropriation
bills which would have called for large
disbursements during the closing day
of the fiscal year helped the govern
ment to pile up its surplus.
Another big element in the figures
was the corporation tax, which, it is
calculated, brought in $27,000,000,
against $33,000,000 last year.
Custom receipts yielaed about $310,-
000,000 this fiscal year, against $314,-
000,000 last year, while internal reve
nue taxes amounted to $292,000,000,
as against $289,000,000.
The taxation on beer indicates that
American people consumed 63,000,000
barrels during the year. The govern
ment realized $149,000,000 on distilled
spirits, $63,000,000 on beer and $70,-
000,000 on tobacco.
Germans Welcome Taft.
Philadelphia A grand festival con
cert participated in by the thousands
of members of societies constituting
the Northeastern Saengerbund, with
President and Mrs. Taft as the guests
of honor, was the crowning event of
the program of the 23d Ssengerfest.
When the President and Mrs. Taft
reached Broad street station they
were greeted by a German song of
welcome sung by a 'large chorus. As
the President and his wife entered the
auditorium the chorus of 6000 trained
male voices sang the "Star Spangled
Banner," while the immense audience
remained standing.
Tap Line Cases Dropped.
Washington, D. C. The Commerce
court has decided to dismiss, for want
of jurisdiction, the so-called tap-line
cases filed recently. The petition
presented by the tap lines required
injunctions against the Interstate
Commerce commission's order deter
mining the status of tap lines with re
lation to the various trunk lines. The
tap lines contended they were common
carriers under the law and that the
commission had no authority to ex
clude them from the . divisions of
through rates with trunk lines.
Famous Engineer Dead.
Toronto Cecil Brunswick Smith,
one of the best-known railway and
hydro-electric engineers in the world,
died at his home here of cancer. He
was 48 years old. Nearly every hydro
electric plant in America was either
designed or built by Smith. He was
a graduate of McGill university and a
former president of the Canadian So
ciety of Civil Engineers. He was the
author of several well-known text
books on engineering.
Congress Thanks Saviors.
Washington, D. C. The thanks of
congress are conveyed to Captain
Arthur H. Rostron and the officers and
crew of the liner Carpathia for their
rescue of 704 survivors of the Titanic,
in the senate bill passed by the hiuse.
The measure now goes to President
Taft for signature. The bill provides
for a $1000 gold medal for Captain
Kostron.

gima, Wisconsin ana Hawaii.
Wilson s vote of 602 on the ballot
was a majority of the convention. It
was the highest vote he had received,
and the vote of 329 cast for Clark was
the lowest received by him during the
prolonged balloting.
When the result was announced the
demonstration for Wilson was as en
thusiastic and protracted as the weary
delegates could make it.
Wilson lacked only 124 votes of the
necessary two-thirds to nominate.

"Progressives" Confer.
Washington, June 25. A confer
ence or "progressive ' Uepublican
senators to consider the situation de
veloping from the third party move
ment launched at Chicago will be
called immediately after the Demo
cratic convention. Senators Clapp,
Bourne and Cummins met and dis
cussed the movement. Senators Bris
tow, Kenyon and Poindexter are away
from Washington and when they re
turn, if alignment of the Democratic
party has been shaped, a conference
of "progressives" will be held.

German Dirigible Burned.
Dusseldorf, Germany The Zeppelin
dirigible balloon Schwaben I, station
ed here, was completely destroyed by
fire following an explosion of escaping
hydrogen gas caused when a strong
gust of wind broke it from its moor
ings and made it collapse in the mid
dle. Several workmen and soldiers
were burned or otherwise injured,
some of them seriously, but not fa
tally. The arisbip had just arrived
today. Woodrow Wilson had made
steady gains during Monday's ballot
ing until he reached a high-water
mark of 50J votes on the 39th ballot.
He remained stationary on the 40th
ballot and then began to lose ground.
The last ballot was the 42d, when
Governor Wilson polled 494 votes.
Speaker Champ Clark reached the
lowest ebb of his candidacy on the
ballot where Wilson reached his crest.
He went down to 22 votes at that
time but immediately began to pick
up and had gone to 430 when adjourn
ment was taken.
The speaker came over to Baltimore
during the evening and was the gust
at the home of Mayor Preston, near
Convention hall. He returned to
Washington shortly before midnight.
The convention went through another
monotonous round of balloting last
night. Roll calls, in which Governor
Woodrow Wilson gained steadily and
Speaker Clark as steadily lost, were
taken without decisive result.
The evening started auspiciously for
Wilson with the 35th ballot and on the
39th he had paesed the 600 mark with
one and one-half votes to spare. On
the 40th call of the roll Wilson's 601J
remained the same and Clark gained a
Bingle vote, leaving him 423.
