SEATS FOR 84
TAFT DELEGATES
T. R. Loses Alabama, Arkansas,
Georgia and Florida Contests
G.O. P. COMMITTEE IN SESSION
Twtlve Delegates From Indiana, First
Contests From Northern State, Alao
Given to Taft Pre-Conventlon Talk,
Seventy-two delegates from the
states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida
and Georgia were added to the Taft
column by action of the Republican
national committee upon the Roose
velt contests from those states.
Twelve contested seats of delegates
from the state of Indiana were also
added to the Taft column, giving the
president eighty-four more seats in
the convention.
In all but two contests brought from
the southern states the committee was
unanimous in seating Taft delegates
It was expected that there would be
a mighty struggle for the contested
delegates from Indiana. The commit
tee by unanimous vote seated the four
delegates at large and In only one
district contest was there any strug
gle. The Taft delegates were seated
by a vote of 36 to II!.
The Taft managers Insisted more
Btrongly than ever that the president
will be nominated In this convention
and that he will have thirty-six more
votes than necessary. Most of these
Tuft managers also declared that
Vie President Sherman Is to bo re
nominated. Tiis first real talk of a "dark horse"
to he nominated was started when
Stnr Kenyon, speaking for Senatoi
Cuanmlus and the Republicans of Iowa
said:
"Iowa stands ready to present a
candidate who at least has behind
him a harmonious and enthusiastic
party In his own state. If Republi
cans pause long enough to forget their
present animosities Albert E. Cum
mins will be the next president."
The Taft campaigners were dis
turbed by Senator Kenyon's talk. The
forty-six delegates of La Follette and
Cummins may prove Interesting
factors before the sessions of the con
vention end.
Taft campaigners believe that
Roosevelt is to name a candidate for
temporary chairman of the convention
from among La Follette's delegation
In the state of Wisconsin, thereby
hoping to compel La Follette to sup
port the Wisconsin man for temporary
chairman.
Senator Borah, the colonel's chief
spokesman In the meetings of the na
tional committee, declared that he was
opposed to any bolt on the part of the
Roosevelt men In this convention in
the event of Roosevelt's defeat.
Senator Borah discussed a report
that Roosevelt men in presidential
primary states who had been nominat
ed for electors may refuse to vote for
Taft In the event of the president's re
nomination and re-election by a ma
jority of the popular vote. Mr. Borah
pointed out that presidential electors
may vote for any man In the country.
This talk, however, of a bolt among
the Roosevelt men who are to run for
presidential electors In case Taft U
nominated was not regarded seriously.
It Is said that the RooBevelt man
agers are preparing themselves if the
to them unexpected happens to
give to Roosevelt a nomination, the
form and nature of which they think
will appeal to the Republicans of the
country as being regular in all that
makes regularity.
If when the national committee has
decided the last contest and a poll of
the unlnstructed delegates shall show
that a majority Is lacking, and lacking
because of what the colonel's cam
paigners will hold are the unjust
tactics of the committeemen, an or
ganization will spring into activity ou
the floor and on the platform of th.
Coliseum. The delegates from the
states which Roosevelt and his follow
ers say are theirs beyond challenge
will take position with the delegates
rejected by the national committee
and will vote with the rest to put the
ticket through. In other words, there
will be two conventions at the same
time.
COMMERCE COURT HIT
6upreme Court Reverses Many of It
Decisions.
Blow after blow was given the new
commerce court by the supremo court
)" the United States, which upheld the
exclusive Jurisdiction of the Interstate
commerce commission over the admin-
strative machinery of the federal rate
laws.
The principal decision was an
nounced by Chief Justice White in the
so-called "Proctor and Gamble case."
He was sustained by the entire eourt.
In Biibstance, he held that the com
merce court was not to substitute its
udgment for the interstate commerce
commission in the administration of
the rate laws.
The specific point ruled upon was
that parties who failed to get relief
before the interstate commerce com
mission have no right to go into tho
commerce court and have that court
pass upon the facts to ascertain if
they should have been granted relief.
Price Raise to Be Probed.
Recent advance in the price of hard
coal is to be probed by congress.

FOP. AID HEEDED
Two U. S. Battleships Sent to
Protect Cuba's Capital
FOREIGNERS FEAR RACE WAR
Washington Officials Mean to Show
Cuban Government That Threat to
Intervene in Troubles la No Bluff.
The Cuban situation took a decided
turn for the worse when two United
States battleships were ordered from
Key West to Havana upon receipt of
Information in Washington that the
Cuban capital is on the verge of a
race war.
.Minister Beaupre cabled the statu
department that since Friday evening
riots have occurred in every part of
Havana and vicinity. The negroes are
being goaded Into violence by irre
sponsible elements among the white
people.
Retaliation upon the part of the
desperate blacks In and about . the
city is expected at any moment. It Is
expected that it will have the most
serious consequences.
Anti-negro demonstrations have
taken place all over the city In the
last twenty-four hours, the American
minister reports. The negroes are
being hounded about the city and are
In fear of their lives. Dread of the
consequences should they make an ef
fort to defend themselves has alarmed
all Americans and other foreigners in
Havana.
Within a few minutes after Min
Ister Beaupre's cable had been re
ceived orders were being sent to Rear
Admiral Osterhaus, commanding the
first squadron at Key West, to send
two ships to Havana at once.
The war department at Washing
ton h.is taken the final steps pre
paratory to making good the threat of
the state department to President
Gomez to Intervene in Cuba In case
of continued failure of his government
adequately to protect life and prop
erty. Major General Wood, chief of staff
of the army, ordered four army trans
ports put In commission at Newport
News with adequate crews, supplies

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Pig Iron Production Near Maximum
in May.
Dun's Review of Trade says this
week:
"The quickened movement of trade
is clearly revealed by the statistics
of bank clearings, railroad earnings
and pig Iron production. On the other
hand, in number of defaults and
amount of liabilities, the .May record
of commercial failures, while better
as compared with previous months of
this year, was unfavorable as com
pared with corresponding months In
most of the preceding years.
'There was a remarkable produc
tion of pig iron during May and with
the prospect of adequate crops the
reasonable outlook Is for a high water
mark activity this year In this great
basic Industry with an advance in
prices not unlikely."

ference with model teachers and an
hour of discussion of elementary
school problems, participated In by
teachers coming from every part of
the country and representing every
grade of position and every type of
school.
In addition. Professor Yocum and
Mr. Suhrle offer courses which apply
the most recent results of educational
research to methods of teaching the
common school branches. A more
complete course of study from which
principals and superintendents can se
lect what they most need has rarely
been offered by any institution In
America.
Tho Courses In Psychology, for
which the University is famous, are
attracting even more general atten
tion than usual this year. Dr. Wilmer
personally conducts his clinic for de
fectives and supervises classes for
backward children in charge of teach
ers who regularly assist Miss Fnrrell,
of New York. The fact that New Jer
soy requires tho formation of Bpec'n:
classes for defective children will
cause Increased attendance from that
state, hut experts in the teaching and
supervision of backward children are
registering from all over the country.
There are courses In kindergarten
Ins, drawing, manual training, (lie
teaching nnd supervision of public
school music, school playground teach
ing an I supervision, medical Inspection
Htid moral hygiene, to say nothing of
work In every specialty needed by
high school nnd normal school teach
ers nnd courses for architects and np
pllrants for admission to medical
schools.
Growing Interest In school lil'rai ie.-i
makes the course in Library Economy
especially helpful. It will be under the
dlredioii of Mis Donnelly, head of
tho Library School of Drexel Insti
tute, and includes courses in Cata
loguing, Classification, Itelerence nnd
Bibliography, Library Economy, Chil
dren's Literature nnd How to Use n
Llbiary. Tho work In Physical Edu
cation is more many-sided than ever,
and embraces school playground su
pervision, besides n two year cours
in Physical Education for teachers of
gymnastics and physical education and
supervisors of ulhletics.
In short, at every point, the Sum
mer School-hears evidence of the Uni
versity's wisli to help public school
teachers. Many thousands of genet al
Rnd special circulars are being issued
by Dr. A. Duncan Yocum, the Direc
tor. Last yenr the attendance waai
