Roll call of states for pre- sentation of committee selec- tions. Adjournment. Chicago, June 18. Bringing to a climax a week filled with events with out political precedent a week which has been marked by extreme bitter ness between the forces of President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt and which has see.n the entrance Into Chicago of the colonel himself after an already sensational campaign the 1,078 dele gates to the Republican national con vention were called to order shortly after noon today by Chairman Victor Rosewater of the national committee. The scenes inside the great audi torium of the Coliseum before the gavel fell on what promises to be the most tumultuous convention since the Republican party was formed were In spiring. The doors opened early and thousands of ticket holders, including hundreds of women, passed through, filling the seats in the galleries and crowding into every Inch of standing room. On the floor of the convention hall the delegates coming in by states made the steel rafters of the great hall ring with their shouts and cheers for their favorite candidates. The abilities of Sergeant-at-Arms Stone and his army of employes especially trained for the occasion wore severely strained bringing order out of the crush and Jam. In the streets outside the building where history Is to be made thousands of persons watched the big doings. Marching clubs with brass bands ad ded to the noiBe and confusion. The Taft chieftains had taken steps to preserve peace In the convention if possible. Twenty members of the na tional committee headed by Senator Crane had a long conference with Governor Deneen of Illinois and with the police authorities of Chicago. Be cause of this conference scores of po licemen were stationed inside the big building and it is arranged that every bluecoat in Chicago will be called if their services are necessary. As an extra precaution Governor Deneen visited Colonel Roosevelt and Mr. Klinn and Informed them that he would insist on lawful procedure during the convention. The Roosevelt men will begin their fight when Chairman Rosewater di rects the secretary of the convention to call the temporary rolls. The light Is to begin when the state of Cali fornia is called. Governor Johnson has Insisted that he would vote the delegation as a unit for Roosevelt, although there are two Taft men In the delegation. This action by Governor Johnson, it is ex pected, will be objected to by the twq Taft delegates from the Fourth Call; fornla district. This Juncture will be grasped by the Roosevelt, floor leader as the pne upon which to get the "expurgated" vote of delegates. The floor leudor will move at once that the temporary roll as made up by the national com mittee be rejected and that a substi tute roll. Including the seventy or eighty delegates claimed by Teddy. If the Roosevelt forces succeed Viey will be shifting the fight upon the ! aft followers' shoulders. Instead of ippearing as contestants before the credentials committee they would ap pear "absolved." The Taft forces then would have to again battle for all the seats awarded them by the national committee and at the same time they could attack the standing of but nine teen of the Roosevelt delegates. Eyeii in such an event the Taft fpl Ipwers will be in preponderance on the credentials committee. If they stand Ann the majority report will b In favor of seating the Taft delegates. With the majority report a minority report recommending the seating of the Roosevelt delegates will be of fered. The real test of strength will then come. It will be a straight out-and-out Issue as to which of the prin cipal candidates controls the delegates ami as to which report is ratilied. Con trol of the convention by either Ta!t or Roosevelt will be marked from that time on. VICE PRESIDENT "IFS." Chicago, June 18. In all the melee between the Taft and Roosevelt forces there is still time to talk of vice presidential possibilities. The situation to- day may be put as follows: If T.-.ft Wins: James Sherman of New York, C. M. Fairbanks of Indiana, John A. Mead of Vermont, John Wanamaker of Pennsylvania. If Roosevent Wins: II. S. Hadley of Missouri, James R. Garfield of Ohio, Ben Lindsey of Colorado, William E. Borah of Idaho, Albert J. Bev- erldge of Indiana, W. R. Stubbs of Kansas, Hiram W. Johnson of California, W. P. Glasscock of West Virginia. DENY DEFECTIONS IN TAFT'S RANKS Only Two Southern Delegates Lost, Say Leaders Chicago, June 18. This morning the Taft chieftains Issued a statement saying in substance that the efforts of the Roosevelt men to win delegates from Taft have resulted in the ac quisitlon of but two southern dele gates. J. C. Styles, S. S. Mlnsey and J. H. Boone of the Georgia delegation, whom the Roosevelt managers assert ed had Joined Delegate Grler in the revolt from the Taft column, repudi ated the assertions of Grier. Then, too, the Taft managers got after Mr. Klinn and Roosevelt for slamming the Hawaiian delegation for Roosevelt and issued a letter from the governor of Hawaii saying that the delegates from Hawaii were Instruct ed to vote for President Taft. Louisiana held a meeting and agreed to vote for Taft and Senator Root as temporary chairman of the convention. President Koenig of the New York county Republican committee declared that the New York state delegation was stronger today for Taft than at any time during the past month. It looks, he said, as though all but ten and perhaps eleven of the delegates would stick to Taft. Two members of the Pennsylvania delegation to the convention hitherto figured in the Taft column, announced that they will not support the presi dent but will vote for a third candi date. The delegates are Congressman W. W. Griest and W. H. Keller of Lancaster. The dark horses they favor In the order of their preference are Hughes, Root, Robert Lincoln and Cummins. An Intense fight has been going on by the Roosevelt people In an effort to defeat Senator Root for temporary chairman There Is no evidence or Indication, today, however, that Sen ator Root Is to be defeated. . The Illinois delegation at a meeting furnished a surprise to the Taft man agers. The latter believed that twenty two of the fifty-eight delegates would vote for Root. At the suggestion of Governor Deneen the question was put rp to the delegates as to whether they would support for temporary chair man any man whom Roosevelt might select. When the roll call was called fifty-one voted in the affirmative and seven In the negative. Senator Dixon issued an authorized interview In which he said among other things: "The last check we made showed that Colonel Roosevelt ought to have In the convention about forty-two ma jority." He expressed the belief that Colonel Roosevelt would have thirteen in South Carolina and said nine have signed a letter to Colonel Roosevelt to that effect. He thought there would be defections to Roosevelt in two or three states about which they would have statements later. "There Is not a southern state," he added, "that has, not been broken into by the Roosevelt forces." TWO MORE AFFIDAVITS Southern Delegates Allege Bribe For Votes Was Offered. Chicago, June 18 The Taft head quarters issued two additional affi davits from instructed Taft delegates telling that one delegate had been of fered $100 and the other $400 to sup port Colonel Roosevelt In the conven tion. These two delegates are from Mississippi. The delegates who say they were approached are Rev. Dr. J. W. Shump fort, presiding elder in the Meridan (Miss.) Methodist Episcopal church conference and A. Buckley of a local laper In Enterprise, Miss. GAMBLERS' ESTIMATE Betting Odds on Chicago Convention Posted in Wall Street. New York, June 17.

"FIRE 'EM OUT," GRIESMLONEL "Fraudulently Seated" Dele gates Should Be Ousted CONDEMNS "POLITICAL THEFT" Roosevelt In Fighting Speech In Chi cago Coliseum Before Immense Audience Denounces Taft's Candi dacy and Charges That Moneyed Interests Are Behind Him Cannot Accept National Committee's Work. Chicago, June 18. Speaking In the Coliseum last night Colonel Roosevelt denounced President Taft and the Re publican national committee and charged' that" "big business" was financing Mr. Taft's campaign. The auditorium was packed by an enthusiastic crowd which sang Roose velt songs. In part the colonel said: "As far as Mr. Taft and 1 are per sonally concerned it little matters what the fate of either may be. But with Mr. Taft's acquiescence or by his direction and In his Interest his followers have raised an Issue which is all important to this country. It Is not a partisan Issue; it Is more than a political Issue; it is a great moral issue. "If we condone politic al theft. If we do not resent the kinds of wrong aud injustice that injuriously affect the nation, not merely our democratic form of government but our civiliza tion Itself cannot endure. If the methods adopted by the national com mittee are approved by the convention which is about to assemble a great crime will have been committed. "The triumph of such proceedings at the moment would mean the wreck of the Republican party; and if such proceedings become habitual it would mean the wreck of popular govern ment. "We come together to protest against a crime which strikes straight at the heart of every principle of political decency and honesty a crime which represents treason to the peo ple and the usurpation of the sov ereignty of the people by irresponsi ble political bosses, inspired by the similar influence of moneyed priv ilege." Mr. Roosevelt reviewed the reasons which led him to enter the present contest, chief among' them being to prevent Mr. Taft's renomlnatlon be cause he had, Mr. Roosevelt asserted, abandoned the cause of the people and only represented the bosses. "The big bosses," he continued, "who control the national committee represent not merely the leading cap tains of mercenary politics, but the great crooked financiers who stand be hind these leading captains. These political bosses are obnoxious In them selves but they are even more ob noxious because they represent priv ilege in Its most sordid and dangerous form. "One thousand, seventy-eight men are to meet here in convention to de cide the future of the Republican party. At least seven out of eight of those among them who really repre sent the people are against the nomi nation of Mr. Taft. "It is the duty of all of them, their first duty, to throw out of the conven tion every man fraudulently seated there by the national committee. "I cannot with honesty or propriety stand in any shape or way for the action of the bosses by accepting ttie committee's nomination of the tem porary chairman nor by accepting Its disposition as to the seating and un seating of contested delegations. I hold that the convention itself Is of right the only Judge of the qualifica tions of Its own members. "The action of these men Is In no sense 'regular,' as they claim to be. They do not represent the people and dishonesty cannot gjve and never shall give a title to regularity," PLATFORMS NEGLECTED Too Much Excitement in Chicago For Framers to Work, Chicago, June 18. In the tense situ ation between the rival political forces nobody has much time to give to plat form discussion. Senator Root ami others who had expected to put in some work on the Taft platform were all engaged elsewhere. This was true, too, of the Roosevelt men. Colonel Roosevelt has told the framers who are at work on his plat form that ho does not want that docu ment to contain an extensive review of the record of the Republican party, nor does ho want any glorification of himself in It and that It need not mention his name." COMMITTEEMEN CHOSEN Brown In Ohio and Flinn In Penn sylvania, Chicago, June 18. Walter Brown of Ohio, state committeeman and Roose velt leader, was elected national com mitteeman from his state by the Ohio delegatlou. J. J. Sullivan of Cleveland is slated to be a member of tho com mittee on resolutions, lie is a Roose velt man. The Pennsylvania delegation con firmed the election of William Flinn, Roosevelt leader of Pennsylvania, as national committeeman from that state. Making Political History at G. 0.

The first direct news from Kodiak island, Alaska, which was almost de vastated by the eruption of Katmai volcano, was received when the tug Printer arrived in Seward, Alaska, bringing Lieutenant Searles of the revenue cutter Manning and J. E. Erskin, a merchant of Kodiak, who appealed for assistance for the strick en people of the Island. Lieutenant Searles said that the food supply In Kodiak was sufficient to last only fifteen days. All the crops on the island were destroyed and mil lions of fish were killed by the sand and ashes that fell In the water. The water supply is polluted by the decay ing fish rnd springs have been stopped up w'ith ashes. The Manning is distilling water for the use of the people. At a mass meeting of the citizens a committee was appointed to handle re lief funds for the stricken villagers. An appeal was sent to congress ask ing that money be placed at the dis posal of the revenue cutter service to buy food. Messages also were sent to Gover nor Clark urging him to send all the revenue cutters on duty in Alaskan waters to the Islands laid waste by the volcano. The Manning was la Kodiak when the eruption began and furnished refuge for all the Inhabitants of the town, 500 men, women and children, doubtless saving many lives. Tho Manning served distilled water and government rations. The property loss will be enormous. As soon as the hail of ashes, sand and hot puinicestone began the of ficers of the Manning ordered every one in Kodirk and nearby villages on board the ship. For more than fort' hours people were huddled together In the darkness of midnight. DEATH ON HONEYMOON Couple Married Two Weeks Ago Drown In Preeque Isle Bay.
