Chicago, June 12. The announce

ernor Glasscock this morning that
Pennsylvania and West Virginia
would not Btand for Taft, evidently
worried the Taft lenders, for they at
once conferred to consider plans to
offset the move of the two Roosevelt
men.
Congressman McKlnley, Tart's
manager, said it was all a bluff, add
ing: "It Is evident that the Roosevelt
l.eople are determined to rule or
ruin, and to win by fair means or
foul."
Flynn's statement Is generally con
sidered here as the ultimatum of the
Roosevelt people.
Flynn and Glasscock declared that
die electoral delegates In their states
will support Roosevelt In tho elec
toral college, even If President Taft
Is nominated. Flynn said:
"If they steal the roll call of this
convention and nominate Taft, we
will protect ourselves. The Penn
Hylvanla state convention has not ad
journed. We have 30 of the 38 dele
gates, and there Is nothing to pre
vent our electors voting for Roose
velt. Even if Taft's name is printed
on the ballot, no elector Is bound to
support him. This would mean the
defeat of the Republican national
ticket, but It would save us In Penn
sylvania. We have from 12 to 15
congressmen to think about. This Is
the position we will take, assuming
the Taft people steal the roll call.

Chicago, June 12. Grinding Its way
steadily along over the flattened forms
of Roosevelt contestants, the Taft
steam roller here today smashed flat
the two Roosevelt delegates elected
l'rom the fourth district of California,
who were elected by a majority of
more than (19,000 In the state-wide pri
mary, and seated in their Btead two
Taft delegates from the district, who
had a local majority of about 150
votes.
The vote by the national committee
followed almost exactly the lines of
usual division between the ' Taft and
Roosevelt adherents on the commit
tee, It being 37 to 16. The decision was
reached in the face of a furious
deniinnclation by Francis. Jj Heney, of
San Francisco, who shouted that he
was there to warn President Taft that
in accepting these delegates, be was
a receiver of Btolen goods.

K. H. Tryon and Morris Meyerfleld:
Jr., the two Snn Francisco delegates
seated by the natlonnl committee,
claimed they had carried their dis

that President Taft had carried the
district on the preferential vote. O.

Dick, President Tnft's contest manag

At the oulBet lleney denounced the
claim of the Taft people as ridiculous
and designed to roll the people of rep
resentation. In order that he might

surrendered his committeeman's proxy
to Thorson, of South Dakota.
In advancing the claim of the Taft
delegates Rrynn said:

ATTORNEY GENERAL CRAWFORD
WILL I'ROSECCTE APPEAL IX
ORDER TO SETTLE THE STA.
TCS OF THE 111(1 IIUMGATIOX
COMPANY.
Attorney General Crawford an
nounced this morning that he would
prosecute un appeal to the supreme
court from the decision of Judge Mc
Ginn, of Portland, In sustaining the
demurrer or the defense to the com
plaint of the state In Its case against
tho Deschutes Land company.
Tho state brought this action for
the purpose of restraining the com
pany from selling options on lands
contained in Its project, contending
that Its contract provides thnt no
I;: nd must be sold until water is on
It. and thnt It Is, therefore, violating
It. The board served notice upon the
company to cease selling the options,
und the reply of Kg president, J.'K.
Morson, was that If the board felt
that the company was violating Its
contract to Institute suit to restrain
It, The reply of the board was to
order the attorney genoral to com
mence tho suit.
A controversy with relation to the
company's rights along this line has
raged now for about a year, and It
Is believed by the attorney general
that tho only way to effectively set
tle It Is to have the supreme court
pnss on the case, The company I
