^ Phone to Oyster Bay. Prom the conference room of theee men there was a lonr*dlstanca telephone talk with Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay Without attempting to go Into detella with respect to the all-night series « conferences it may be s^d that when the sun oame up nothing had actually »of»*ni»H*hed As the conferees went to Uielr rooms for a few hours rest before the meeting of the oonvenUou it wee a foregone conclusion that unlees ^e unfore^n happened. Charles E Hugbee, of f^w Yore, would be the nom.Republican convenUon The difficulty of the so-called allies was to agiwe on a candidate Men who have heretofore been looked on as leaders admitted that they were unable to deliver the votee. The all-night canvass of the Bituation showed clearly that should any effort ^ made to turn the supporters of the silled candidates In the direction of any one man, a large number of the delegates would go to Justice Hughes The managers of the campaign of Ellhu Boot could not promise anything, although .they were anxious to do It It developed during the i^ht that the supporters of ("Theodore B Burton, of Ohio, were flirting with the vlee-preeldency and were unwilling to guarantee help on a oentrallxa- , tlon drive. Senator Sherman, of llllnole, found that he wae uhable-to make any promise bis delegates which he could carry out, and late In the night practically Si^e his oonsent thar those of bis sup- % bprtsri who desired to vote for Justice HughM oould do sa Such, UTbrief, was the story of the night eonfdrenoe Would Not Approve Hughes. At o’clock Roosevelt said over the telephene* te Hieholu Murray Butler, of ICew York, that he was still determined not to approve the nomination of Justice Charles JB Hughes if it should be made In the tame conversation he admitted that bis own nomination by the Republican convention was undoubtedly out of Uie queetlon. A little after » o clock to day. alter a talk with George W. Perkins over the telephone. Roosevelt sent the AMsfram in which be propowMl Henry Cabot Lodge, esnator from Massaehusem. as the Republican candidate and asked that this telegram be read to each of the conventions - g One Outcome, They 8«ld. The Progressive convention received their leader’s msssage with little enthusiasm It was plainly evident that the Prof resatvcs were not in sympathy with Loosevelt’s proposal Throughout the forenoon the Progressive leaders that Is to say, the men who made up the exeeutlvo committee continued their efforts to hold the Progressive delegates In restraint until the Republican convention had aoted Privately, the men who make up the Progressives’ inside oommlttee expressed the View that in the end there would be only one outcome and that would be the acceptance of the Republican nominee by Roosevelt eventually They admitted that their leader was at last In a tight place, that he had led his followers to believe he was prepared to go with them to the end of the road, when in fact, he had been maneuvering right along to get back into the Repuhllmui party Tod Much for Committee. The joint conference committee, which was In session until after the two conventions ware called to order, was not able to prove Itself capable of leading the two eonvetitlonu. Its efforts turned out Just at everybody believed they would from the hour,of appointing It had troubles of Us own It had Just agreed to report to the two eonventione a etatement mher than a recommendation that Justice Charles B Hughes seemed to be the choice of the Republican convention, and aetting forth some reasons why he should bo acceptable to the Progreasives, when the Roosevelt telegram recommending Lodge ae a oompromlee candidate arrived Nothing «Im to Do. Under the eircumstancea there was nothing for the joint conference committee to do but to aubmlt thl4 telwram to the two conventions along with tHe report It had prepaid before the arrival of the telegram The former President must have been disappointed when hie watchmen here notlflod him e little before noon that "this telegram had not made a dent on either convention In the I^gresalve ^ getherlng the report of the ocmflMrenoe ^coramUtee along with Itoewsvelt’e tele* vgram were laid on the ti^e wi^ut a^ tlon on th*m, and in toe i^siMasan con\ention both oommunioationa woia riMwl ai^ that waa all. There wse a conference behind the eoties In the Auditorium after toe comm%rloatlona had beer read to the Pro. S grvei»ve convontion, end It was decided that thers was nothing to do but have toe Profresatve convenUon nominate Roosevelt and put it up to him ^ Now Nogotiationa on Hughot. The joint conference committee created ' by the two convenUona day before yeeterdey waa in seeeion a good part of toe It, too, WM in communication with Oreter Bay a little after S o’clock this morning This eommitiee really contributed nothing of importance affecUnx the general situation The five Progr^ sive members, after they learned early thia ro<wnlng that the forcee in toe Republican convention that were opposed to toe nominaUon of Hughes, had failed to come together on any uendldate. began new negotlatione on the basis of what -aesmed to be the aMured nomlnaUon of Hughes. They let it be femown that the Progreeslves would at least like to have the vice-presidential nomination. In an tntonnal way the nerabere of the Joint committee diacusaed the poaaibiltty of drafting Qovemor Htrana W Johnson, of CeMfomle, to take eecond place on toe Ucket. and they elao save some little Uiought to toe evaUahtUty of James R. Qerfleid. of Ohio The RepubllceiMi^of this omnmittee. were, of oourse. unable to make any ise to tlM Progreeelve committeemen that toe Republican convention would be willing to nominate for toe vice-presi-dency a man who had affiliated with toe Progreselve party toe lest campetgn. although they gave the Progreeslves to understand that they thought toe adoption of such a program would be wl^ Forgaaw the Inevitable. Foreseeing that the nomineUon of Charlee E Hughes for Preeldent by toe Republicans was Inevitable, the Progressive leaders had under oonsideratlon during the e#irly p^t of toe day the probleiit of turning toe Progreeerie party into the ytapublican camp Even the radicals lunong the Progressives Anally realised that the orgnntxatlon. with George W Perkins at Its bead, would in all probnUUty sucoesd in carrying out the pro-

It was not until after the Republicans had token two ballots and Roosevelt had failed to make any impression on it that the Progressives realized that Ihev had entertained a vain Jiope A good many of the Progressive delegates, thoroughly disgusted left for home during the night A considerable number of them were still arguing this forenoon in favor of their convention nominating Rooeevelt and their party going ahead as a distinct political organization .. _ But while these delegates were standing about advocating this line of action, the executive committee of the organization wae meeting in the Blackstone hotel completing plans by which the action of the Republican convention would be approved either todav or on some later day Many of the Progressives who carae to the convention city openly asserted that they were brought here under false pretenses Men who talked in this strain were saying today that the executive committee of their party, the ugh it might be powerful enough to dominate the convention, could not deliver the rank and flle of the Progrcsalve party to the Republican party Many of the men who supported Roosevelt four years ago, these men asserted, would prefer Wilson to the nominee of the Republican convention Unfortunate for Fairbanks. Many of the supporters of Charles W. Fairbanks, Indiana’s candidate for the Republican nomination, were expressing the view today that it was unfortunate that his full swength was not developed on the second ballot last night That his vote on the first ballot should be held down to 74H was regairded as good strategy but In the light of overnight developments It became clear that he would have been In a much stronger position when the conference came on last night if his friends had pushed hie vote on the second ballot up toward his maximum strength In the convention There were In the neighborhood of 180 delegates who were ready to vote for him when asked to do so * Hts vote of 88% on the second ballot did not show a gain over the vote on the first ballot that impressed men in other states who did not understand that for strategical reasone, which seemed to be sound his vote was being withheld until the third ballot Waa Set for Today. The plan was to have the Indiana candidate come strong on the first baillot today or the third ballot In all, with the hope and expectation that In the meantime an agreement could be reached under which the convention would accept him as its caJididate In all the conferences that took place last night Fairbanks was the only man considered In connection with the plans to have the allies’ forces get together on some one There were times during the night when it seemed that a combination might be effected, a combination that would Insure enough votes to nominate the Indiana man, but too many of the delegates were looking for the Hughes band wagon, and all the efforts to bring concentration on the one candidate came to naught

the past
Party Will Work for Nominee. It can be said truthfully that it was a depressed convention crowd that made its way back to toe hotels after the two conventions had adjourned The leaders In neither of the two parties had seen an outcome of ten days of most strenuous activity that pleased them Of course, the Republican party will get In behind the nominee and msjte a strenuous eliort to elect him. but hie nomination upset all the ^ans that had been laid for the reuniting of the two parties on a harmonious oasis Approximately 800 delegates in toe Republican convention were of the opinion that Justice Hughes ought not to be nominated and yet. on the spur of the moment, having come to no agreement on any one else, they assisted in maJclng him toe nominee of the party The action of the Progressive convention on bestowing Its nomination on Roosevelt is not In keeping with Roosevelt’s oft repeated declaration of la*e that the retirement of the Democmtic party from power in the nation was the all Important thing—a question that oxershadowed the ambitions of any man It was generallv admitted this afternoon that if, peradventure, a reunion of the two parties shall yet take place, the moral effect of today’s work will be bad May Go Over to Democrats. It is ixell established that a great many of toe Progressives do n<ff agree with the opinions of Rooeevelt that the Progresshe party has served its usefulness as an organisation And BO, if toe final outcome shall be the withdrawal of Roosevelt in the interests of Justice Hughes, many men who have oast their lot with the Prt^ressive party will, In all probabilltv, prefer to act with the Democrats this year rather than support the nominee of the Republican convention against whom they have saW such bitter things since their arrival here. Each of-the parties has put out a platform, but it is conceded on au aides that there is no conflict in the deelarstions of toe two parties that would stand in toe way of the Progressives eventually acceptlag toe Hughes nomioatlon.

Fred Gause, of the Henry circuit court special judge in the Williams trial, said that the indictment was against Mayor Rollin H Bunch and Herbert S Maddy Dr Xene Y Smith and John S Coffman the board of police commissioners and Gene Milllams William A Mcllvaine and John W Sima but Williams having de manded a separate trial hls* was the only case before the Jury Judge Gause, in addition to the formal Instruction reviewed the statutes regard ing conspira y and bribery, and the stetute under which assistant prosecuting attorneys are appointed Nature of Conspiracy. Acts or declarations of none of the other defendants could be considered as evidence against Williams, Judge Gause said It Is not essential to a conspiracy that there should have been a formal agreement among the defendants the court said, concurrence of sentiment and CO operative conduct being the essential elements of a conspiracy, and all who take part in such a conspiracy after ir is formed become conspirators, he said The actual commission of the felony conspired at is not necessary to establish guilt Judge Gause Instructed the Jury The payment of federal wholesale liquor licenses did not give any person a right to sell intoxicating liquors in Muncie as a beverage, the court said The pres ence of liquors, except when kept by a physician, druggist or pharmacist or In a private residence. Is prima facie evidence that the liquor Is kept for sale, the instructions said as also is the pay ment of a federal wholesale license, ex cept when paid by a druggist or pharmacist Circumstantial Evidence. Circumstantial evidence alone might establish the conspiracy charged, the in stiuctions said, and it was not essential to the guilt of the defendant that he conspired with all the defendants in the Indictment He would be guilty if proved to have conspired with any one of them, the court said It Is no defense for a person guilty of some illegal act that hls prosecution was n spired by Improper motives, the court said The relations among M’^llliams, Robert W Crabba Fred Littlefield and RoUln H Bunch, by which the profits of an alleged gambling house and blind tiger* were to be divided equally among the four, should not be considered against the defendant unless proved beyond a reasonable doubt to have been under an unlawful conspiracy between Bunch and Williams Judge fiause said By the evidence of the witness Lloyd VV i ount, it is shown that In the conduct of the slot machine business he, Yount, waa equally guilty with the do fendanl Gene Mllllains. and with the said Itollin H Bunch, m whatever crime may have been committed by their said arrangement. JuJge Gause said, and the court also called attention to the promise of Immunity for Yount, to hls arre‘-t at Richmond and other events, saying these might be considered in de termlnlng the credibility of the witness The failure of M'llllams to testify hould not be coistdered as a circumstance against the defendant, the judge said Walter A Ball, former state senator made the opening argument for the state in the morning and scored the city administration for the existence of vice as shown In the testimony Incredible.

I By El I.ew1i. Steif Correspondent of The Indiaita9.4lt News] DITORIUM HALL, CHICAGO, June 10—A wild, earnest crowd of 6,000 people gathered from the whole country. Jamming the Auditorium convention hall today, insisted that Theodore Roosevelt recognize as hls awn a political party fast dying after four brief years of existence Well did they remember how, at the excited bolters’ convenUon, held at midnight of the day William Howard Taft was last nominated, the father of the pferty pledged the young life hls guidance ‘ forever.” The death rattle of the political child was heard last night Throngs sat up all through the night in conferences over the founding Daybreak, rosy across Lake Ailchlffan. and no word came from the acwuiitable fatheiv- First resentment and then anger came slowly but sursly. The rising resentment was fannsd by the chhrge, repeated from radical to radlcal, that George W Perkins s palatial suite In the Blackstone hotel had supplanted the national convention I Hurried Conferences. By ip o’clock the Moose Instinct was running wild A hurried 8 o’clock conference of leaders had been followed by a 9 o’clock conference of state chairmen and rational committeemen The mutiny becamd general Almost all of the one hundrejj who were In this conference declared biat the child is T R's, and that It was It© be pressed firmly Into hie arms Just the moment the national convention met The rumor became current that T R was trying to pass tho youngster oyer to the Republican arms of Senator Henry Cabot I.«dge and this added to the bitterness that was beglq|ilng to apJ. M. Parker, the hot-blooded former Democratic leader of Louisiana. wRo accepted the pledge of Roosevelt In 1818, went on the war jpath. Governor Hiram Johnson and Charf<(s J Bonaparte, membys of the Republloan-Progressive Joint cAiference committee, then flew oft, and cim the Joint conference session William Alien white, of Kansas. Henry Allen, also of Kansas, Chester Rowell, of California, Albert Bushnell Hart, of Massachusetts, and other leaders joined the revolt and demanded that the duty of parentage be assumed Left With No Place to Light, The 9 o’clock conference of state chairman managers and national committeemen bioke up in a row and there waa no formal decision, but the demand for Roosevelt to assume the "duty” was practically unanimous It developed that the chief Insurrectors in the conference were men who had taken Roosevelt at ^Is pledged word in 1912, that he would stay with hls followers smd a permanent party They had left their places in the two old parties and deserted now, would have no place to light The Idealists and radicals were strong and hysterical supporterg Parker bitfiie out of the conference with this statement • We burned aJl our bridges behind ua M’e feel that we have been betrayed. No man can deliver us’ The men and women who have been held here thiough the week "warmed over to the convention hall tntent on Just one thing—to give T R hls dying Infant It was recognized that only T R.*b fatherly rare could save it There they found Raymond Robins, their presiding officer, with them heart and soul Perkins and the pacificist" fought an hour to give the Republicans time to receive Roosevelt’s nomination of Lodge, but the chairman and the convention went riotous and at 12 30 TT R had hls child thrust In his arms to have or to reject Danger for Their Idol. What would happen if T R should spurn his own child was left for time to tell but It was certainly passed to him with an enthusiasm and emphasis that Indicated that If he should fall it In the critical hour, the Idol of those who put their abiding faith In him in 1913 would be thrown Into the mire Having acted the gathered last ditchers, adiourned until afternoon This was done In the hope that it would give Roosevelt time to Indicate what he would do The fact stood out aa stated yesterday, that the Republican" bv adopting a platform identical In spirit with that of the shell of the Progressive partv, left the child Of 1912 nothing for even T R to feed It back to 'robust life
