THE RICHMOND PAIXAUIUM AND SUXrELUl&Aai, FRIDAY JUNE 7, 191?.

CONTESTED ALABAMA DELEGATION IS GIVEN TO THEPRESIDEHT Six Delegates at Large from Alabama Awarded Executive by the National Republican Committee.

(Continued from Page One.) abama was held August 13, 1911, more than 30 days before the national committee's call. The call .stated that no convention held thirty days before the call was legal. Then he charged a second convention was held and the delegates were re-elected. "This is their sole claim to regularity, and it roust not be forgotten that every delegate to that convention was elected prior to Col. Roosevelt's announcement of his candidacy." Letter by President. The letter of President Taft was addressed to P. D. Barker, J. O. Thompson, W. T. Hutchens and O. D. Street. It reads as follows: "The White House, Washington, July 7, 1911. "Gentlemen, "I am in receipt of a series of recommendations to the Republican party of Alabama as to the course to be taken with respect to the state executive committee meeting and the calling of the state, district and county conventions, which, from your agreement, I assume to be in the interest of the party of the state, and therefore express my pleasure at your agreement in the same. In the course of the administration of those departments of government which have local appointmentsto make in Alabama it has been found necessary to seek recommendations as to the fitness of 'the candidates from two of your members, one of whom is the state chairman and the other the national committeeman. Some differences having arisen between the two gentlemen, who have been heretofore consulted, it is essential that in: some proper way an expression of the : Republican party of Alabama be secured as to the. person or persons who ; might in a representative capacity assist these departments with recommendations in the future. Until such time as the party shall have acted in accordance with your recommendations in this Vaper submitted to me the departments will continue to act as heretofore where the Joint recommendations of the gentlemen can be had and where a difference of opinion " arises, if the public Interest .swill permit, the decision will be postponed until the convention shall have met and shall have made its

recommendation as a body representing the party. - Sincerely Yours, WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT." 0f "The conclusion is inevitable," said Mr. Huntley, "that these four office holders in conjunction with the presi-

uem. uesirea mis convention neia at this inopportune and illegal time for the purpose of accomplishing , two

things: First, to determine by whom and in what manner the spoils of office should be distributed in Alabama; second, to preempt the territory in selecting delegates at large from the state of Alabama who would cast their votes for Taft for president. It is not within the province of this committee nor is it within the purpose of this brief to discuss the propriety of such actions on the part of these office hold ers and President Taft, for we have to deal with the legal status as brought about by their remarkable action." The Taft delegates-at-large were seated by a vive voce vote after the Roosevelt arguments had been heard. Then the Taft delegates from the llrst Alabama district were seateby a unanimous vote, the Roosevelt members of the national committee siding with the Taft men in this contest. The Taft delegates from the second and fifth Alabama districts were also seated. Roosevelt Coming? According to the report which was widely circulated here, Roosevelt will leave Oyster Bay Tuesday and arrive

; in Chicago to take personal charge of I his campaign Wednesday. At Roosej velt headquarters it was Ssaid that no I intimation that the colonel would ar- ! rive here had been received.

With a test vote showing the Republican national committee lined up 39 to 13 against Roosevelt, that body today was ready to take up the hearing of delegate contests at 10 o'clock. The first contests heard were those from Alabama. By a mutual agreement between representatives of the Taft and Roosevelt camps the Arizona contest will be postponed and Arkansas taken up next. After that the contest from California. Arizona ,will be dropped to the bottom of the list. The Arizona postponement was asked to give the investigators of the two factions opportunity to Investigate and prepare evidence. The delegates from the new state were elected only a few days ago and the necessary affidavits have not yet been prepared for presentation before the committee. Talk pf the withdrawal of the Roosevelt delegates increases as the convention draws nearer. Congressman McKinley in almost every statement he has given out has alluded to the possibility of a bolt and predicted frequently that it would occur. The hurried trip, of William Flynn of Pittsburg to Chicago to act as Roosevelt's personal representative is believed by the Taft people to herald such a move. Flynn Now Enroute. Flynn who was dispatcher to Chicago after Col. Roosevelt held a long conference with him after talking with his Chicago managers by long distance telephone, was expected to arrive some time today. The message that he bore for the Roosevelt managers here was eagerly awaited. That Flynn's conference might decide whether Roosevelt would visit Chicago in person and when he would come, was generally believed. Rooseve)t himself has tentatively fixed the time as the latter part of next week. Flynn is expected to make a report to the Colonel on conditions as soon as he has talked matters over with Senator Dixon and the Roosevelt men. Then, it is expected definite plans for

Roosevelt's coming, if he decides to come, will be made. A test of La Follette's balance of power may come when the question of electing a permanent chairman of the convention is taken up. If the Roosevelt and Taft strength is nearly enough balanced to prevent a first ballot victory, the Ia Follette men are planning to name a "dark horse" candidate for the championship. The first deadlock of the convention will occur then. The La Follette men are certain they will be able to get Cummins men to- join them in this test, the combination controlling forty-six delegates. The stand that may be taken by Committeeman Alfred T. Rogers of Wisconsin, who is handling La Fol lete's boom, when he enters the contest hearings, has caused some speculation. Rogers is none too friendly with Roosevs, believing that if the Colonel had remained out of the race, the Wisconsin senator would have been able to give Taft a hard tussle. It is believed that so far as he is able he will use his power in the committee to keep the Taft and Roosevelt strength evenly divided In order to keep the La Follette strength in the delegation in the most advantageous position.

Didn't Have to Wait. . A very wealthy retired business man has a big country place up in the New Hampshire bills upon which he enjoys spending a large part of his wealth. Recently he decided to bnild a stone wall around his place. There was no particular point to having the wall, which was a fine affair of cut stone, except the fun which it gave Mr. Smith (as we will call him) to build it The contractor who built the wall was an Irishman. One day when the wall was nearly done Mr. Smith and the contractor were Inspecting it "1 suppose. "Pat" said Mr. Smith, "that fifty years from now people will come along here and look at this wall and say. There was a man that bad more money than brains.'" "Well, sorr." said Pat shifting his quid into the other cheek, "there do be thlm as is sayin' tbot now." Boston Traveler.

Told Him the News. , Lord DufTerin when be was a young man in Dublin always used a certain Jaunting car driven by an old Irishman, who. however, did not know the name of his patron. "Well. Pat." said Dufferin one fine morning, "what is the news today?" "I don't think of anything, sir," was Pat's reply. Then as an afterthought "Yes. they do say that that one eyed Dufferin is going to marry Kate Hamilton."

Stuck to the Rule. A platform lecturer who was green on the job was remonstrated with by the manager of his bureau as follows: "Why.,they tell me that down at Jo tinson burg you lectured two hours. That's too long. The committee says that more than half your audience left before you were nearly through." . , "Well, Jet me tell you," protested the new lecturer; "you told me when yoa started me out that 1 should make It a rule to dtiit while the audience wanted more. And I'll be banged if 1 saw any signs of their wanting more at any time, so 1 just kept on." Chicago Record-Herald.

GOJJDEN EAGLES TO HAVE NEW QUARTERS The Knights of the Golden Eagles have closed a ten year lease for the entire third floor of the building at 532 to 538 Main street. The Interior of the building is to be remodeled, and it is the plan of the members to make the new rooms a model lodge suite.

A Lucky Number. One day there was an amusing incident in the gambling rooms at Monte Carlo. An Englishman arrived early and. sitting down, crossed his logs and stuck one foot out in an attitude of ease. Suddenly there was a wild rush of everybody to the tables, and Italian barons. Spanish countesses and Russian princesses fought with each other to get their gold and silver pieces bo to 17 The croupiers stared, the Inspectors looked nervous, and when 17 came op the entire staff seemed petrified. What bad happened? Had the wheel been got at? Had some clever trick ieen played? Why had everybody rushed to back 17? The croupiers looked about and saw every eye directed at the Englishman, who. finding himself the object of so much attention, blushed violently and burst into a profuse perspiration. Then a roar of laughter went round the room, and the croupiers and the inspectors and even the solemn attendants In livery joined in it Thr mystery was explained. ' On the sole of the Englishman's boot was the number 17 in chalk. "Dagonet Abroad." Ready For Her Ladyahip. Lady Constance Mackenzie, the English traveler and beauty, once made a lonj,- trip through Texas. At one place a wealthy ranch owner Invited her to visit him. and she accepted the invitation. The owner of the ranch was determined to give his guest a fitting reception, so he telegraphed his manager. "Lady Mackenzie coming tomorrow, make every preparation to treat her royally." The manager had never heard of Lady Mackenzie, but as the business of the ranch was raising blooded horses as well as cattle he decidvd this must be some fancy race horse. The famous guest arrived the next day with her party and fount! all ready. A clean box stall, with abundance of fresh bay, awaited her.

His ideas of theology and human nature were often Tery original, as the following anecdote may prove. A gentleman thus accosted the old preacher one Sunday: "Walling. I understood you believe every woman has seven devils. Now. bow can you prove that. I'd like to know?" "Well. sah. did yoa ebber read In de Bible bow de seven debbles were cast out 'er Mary Magdalene?" "Oh. yes. I've heard of that but what does that prove?" "Did you eber hear of 'em bein cast out of any odder woman, sah?" And the old man assumed a wise look. "No. I never did." "Well. den. sab. de odders has sure
