Taft men won 11 districts and Roosevelt men 10 of the 21 district meetings held here preliminary to the state convention this afternoou. UNITED r-RKSS MUSED WIKH. Columbus, 0., June 3. Unstinted praise for the Taft administration and the charge that the people themselves are responsible for present political evils, because they have not taken an interest In the affairs of government, were two of the ostandlng features of the address of United States Sena tor Theodore Burton, temporary chair man of the gathering In opening the Republican state convention here this afternoon. Not once during his speech did Senator Burton refer to Colonel Roosevelt, who swept the state In the Tecent primary electlpn. After asserting that the Payne tar iff law Is not responsible for the high -cost of living, Chairman Burton urged revision of the. tariff and ended his address by coming out In favor of a ADVANCES A NEW IDEA WOILD MAKE EVEKY OCCUPA TION OH HUSINESS RESPON SI11LE IN THE WAV OF COMFEN SATING THOSE INJURED IIV IT. Carrying out the theory advocated liy those desiring a compensation act, and one Is now In process of forma tion by a commission, Governor West lias gone on record as favoring a law providing that the saloons of the state should look after the wrecks produced by their business, and will advocate the enactment of such a measure. The Idea of the compensation act, Is to make every industry liable for those sustaining injuries through Its operation. The saloons, the governor contends, wrecks men each year by making them victims to drink, so that they are a burden upon Its asylums and other Institutions, and he be lieves that this business should be taxed to care for them, and that the burden of caring for them by a tax should not bo Imposed upon the peo ple, who have In no way contributed to their condition. The governor has not yet worked out the detail of his plan, but will In time ask the legislature to pass a law on the subject. He believes that this measure should also be made to In clude drug fiends, and If this is not feasible that another measure should lie enacted to make provision foi them. Abe lliicf Disbarred. Snn Francisco, June 3.-Formal ac tion disbarring Abe Ruef, serving a 14-year term In San Qiuntln, was taken by the state supreme court to rtny. Motion was made by a commit tee named by the bar association on the grounds of Ruef's Imprisonment. The present style of ladles' skirts, Br, as the advertisements would say Rreatly reduced. GOVERNOR modified referendum and Initiative law, and approving direct primaries. When the convention assembled both Taft and Roosevelt forces still claimed to hold the upper hand. Wal ter Brown, Roosevelt's Ohio manag er, declared that the former president had gained five additional delegates since morning. ThiB, It Brown's as sertion Is borne out, would give Roosevelt 425 delegates, or 47 dele gates necessary to control. I C. Ly lln, leader of the Taft forces, also claims gainB, asserting that the presi dent would have at least 410 dele gates. First blood was won for Taft Just before the convention met, when the state committee, by a vote of 19 to 2, seated 11 Taft delegates from Law rence and Crawford counties. The Roosevelt men plan to carry this con test before the committee on creden tials. Resolutions pledging six delegates at large for President Taft and also endorsing the Taft administration were prepared by Warren Harding. No resolutions have yet been prepared by the Roosevelt leaders, but If they se cure control Roosevelt will he en dorsed, Charles D. Hllles, secretary to Pres ident Taft, is here and Is acting In an advisory capacity to the Taft leaders.

Provided the state board of dental " examiners can supply enough stu dents, and it Is likely that It can, over 100 convicts at tne state peni tentiary this week will have their teeth extracted or repaired, for the governor has turned the convicts over to the board for the students to practice on, and the convicts have made applications which exceed the 100 mark, For some time the board has ex- perlenced trouble In securing sub- Jects to practice on, and It hit upon (he Idea of finding them at the penl-j tentlary. Governor West found con victs there who were In need of den tal work and who were game enough to be practiced upon and a bargain between he and the board was struck. Ten chairs have been Installed for the students. They began taking their written examination this af ternoon at the state house. As soon as these are concluded, the students will be taken to the penitentiary and then they will be given a chance to demonstrate the practical side of the v.ork by pulling and repairing the teeth of the convicts.

That the 90,000 Japanese In the United States save and send to Japan a large rart of $22,- 500,000 a year was the statement riiade here today by Otohlko MaJIma, a prominent Japanese merchant and capitalist, who has Just returned from a two months' tour of the United States, where he went to study condi tions. "The average wages of Japanese Immigrants Is $2 a day," said Mljama, "so that the monthly earnings, Includ ing holidays, will be about $50. The total earnings of the 90,000 Jap anese must be $45,000,000 a year, and if half of It be spent on living, the oth er half can he saved every year. ''White labor cannot compete with the Japanese In skill or cheapness. They are, therefore, trying to get the best of Urn Japanene In other ways. American capitalists, however, gen erally welcome Japa-iete labor. "The number of Japanese Immi grants In the United States has In creased little since the Japanese gov ernment, acqulescnlg to the wishes of the Washington government, began to restrict emigration to America. A re cent noticeable fact Is the sudden Increase of female Immigrants, for whom marriages have been arranged after the despatch of photographs. "Formerly the Japanese used to move from place to place.but they are now establishing homes and settling permantly. It fs an undeniable fact that some Americana still entertain anti-Japanese feeling, but the facts have been freiuently exagerateif by the Jaiianese In America, who are too sensitive over the attitude of the Am ericans toward them.
