P. Chicago, June 2. Consideration of claims of contesting: delegations to the national convention was resumed to day by the Republican National Com mittee which opened its deliberations here yesterday with a continuous ses sion lasting more than nine hours. The result of yesterday's work was a decision in the cases of sixteen dele gates, nine from Georgia and seven from Alabama. The Henry S. Jack son delegation from Georgia were awarded seats and the seven protests lr> Alabama were settled by the seating af six regular delegates-at-large and a protesting delegate from the ninth Congressional district. The committee also voted to place the delegates from Porto Rico, Hawaii »nd the Philippines on the temporary roil with the recommendation that they be given votes. The Louisiana contest involving twelve delegates was the first taken up to-day. It will be followed by the contests in Mississippi, Missouri and North Carolina in the order named. The fight in the Lousiana delegation i to-day is between the so-called "lily I whites" and the "black and tans" as 1 lias been the case at many former, committee meetings preceding na- i t'onal conventions. The contesting; delegations were chosen at separate meetings in Louisiana, the "lily whites" held their meeting at a hotel In New Orleans where colored people were not allowed entrance. The dele gation was consequently composed ex clusively of whites, the colored popu lation being given no representation. The other delegation is composed of an equal number of whites and col ored people. Neither side Is commit ted to any candidate. Tariff Necessary to Prevent Ruin After War—Roosevelt Newark, N. J., June 2.—The pro tective tariff is the barrier behind which American Industries can be de veloped in safety, and unless such a tariff is created the United States will face the greatest economic disaster after the close of the European war. Theodore Roosevelt declared in an address here last night at the Indus trial Exposition held to commemorate the two hundred and fiftieth anniver sary of the founding of Newark. "After this war." the former Presi dent said, "we shall face a Europe which has cast ofT the shackles of the past and which Industrially will be as iggresslve as any military power has ever been In a military sense. "It Is time for tills country of ours to be unified in Its Americanism. One phase of that Americanism must be the Americanism of our- industries. With this end In view It is an absolute necessity that there shall be protec tion: that we shall have a protective tariff administered as I have on other occasions described "The protective tariff Is the harrier behind which «©ur industries can be developed In safety. But It remains for UB to see that they are thus devel oped with the highest efficiency and In nationalized fashion for the good of us all." FRIDAY "EVENING, SOCIAL I Other Personals Pa#© 10.

SEEK ALLIANCE WITH FAIRBANKS [Continued From First Paffc.] in the every of the Republicans ac cepting Roosevelt, it is proposed that the other Cabinet positions, or the Sec retary of the Interior, at least, be re served for some prominent Bull Moose leader who would carry out the "so cial justice" covenant proposed in 1»12. Coincident with this "inside gossip, which was not credited to Colonel Roosevelt directly, but held to be pos sible of fulfilment, George W. Perkins, speaking for the Progressives, an nounced that the Progressive conven tion would hold off the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt until after It had ascertained to a "reasonable certainty" what the Republicans intended to do. Captains of Industry Gather At the same hour there gathered in the Roosevelt Nonpartisan I,eague headquarters at the Congress Hotel some of the "captains of Industry," among whom were several of the big gest bankers and manufacturers of the country. George M. Reynolds, presi dent of the Continental and Commer cial National Bank, and John S. Mil ler. Standard Oil attorney, took promi nent parts. They whooped it up for Roosevelt and passed formal reso lutions indorsing him and his policies. The delegates arc to be given an other ocular demonstration of the plan to swing into line the big business leaders of the country next Tuesday at the Garrick Theater. The tentative plans carry the name of J. Ogden Ar mour for chairman. The putting of "pep" into the Roose velt campaign on "convention row" followed the arrival in Chicago of 1 John W. McGrath, Roosevelt's secre- I tary. He bad left the Colonel in I St. Louis after receiving final instruc tions as to what he should say to any of the friend sin Chicago who might | speak with authority. What, if any, message McGrath de livered to the Republican chiefs al ready on the ground could not be as certained. That be brought important tidings, however, was the gossip in the hotel corridors. He held a long conference with Per kins. who also moved into the conven tion city at about the same hour, and it was following this conference that Perkins decided the Progressives would abandon their plan to nominate Roosevelt right at the start and use the nomination as a club suspended over the Republican convention. The whole program, as mapped on the part of the Roosevelt men, is now one of conciliation and get together with the Republican leaders who four | years ago flattened out the Colonel un- ! der the national committee's steam j roller. Glynn and Stone Are Being Considered For Chairmanship St. Louis, Mo., June 2. The sub committee 011 arrangements of the Democratic National Committee met lie-rc to elect a temporary chairman for the convention and to consider the apportionment of tickets and the as signment of seats to the various dele gatlons. Martin Glynn, former gov- I ernor of New York and William J. Stone, United States Senator from Missouri, were among those being con i side-red for temporary chairman, it ; was said. JOHNSTOWITMAN MADE SECRETARY [Continued From Hist Page] retary, therefore, comes in the nature of a recognition of his work. , Growth of Tdea The William Penn Highway propo sition first came to the attention of the State, following the unsuccessful efforts of Cambria county people to se cure from the Lincoln Highway au thorities an alternate route beginning at Lancaster and passing through Har risburg, Hollidaysburg and Ebensburg to Greensburg, where it would merge again with the main Lincoln road. The Lincoln Highway folks told the Cambrians that the Lincoln route was definitely decided upon; and thereupon the local people decided that if they could not have an alternate Lincoln route they would have &. road of their own. It was first proposed to favor the Lancaster-Harrisburg-Greensburg road, but with the growth of the idea the William Penn was made entirely distinct from the Lincoln. Starting at William Penn Square, Philadelphia, and passing through the populous cen tral tier of Pennsylvania counties, the William Penn Highway does not ap proach the Lincoln Way until It nears Pittsburgh; and the routes into Pitts burgh arc entirely distinct. Boosting tlic Highway When Governor Martin G. Brum baugh went to Johnstown'last October on his '"Seeing: Pennsylvania" tour he was a guest of the Chamber of Com merce at a noonday luncheon, Fort Stanwix Hotel. Toward the close of the luncheon cards made their ap pearance calling attention to the Wil liam Penn Highway. These cards at tracted the attention of E. M. C. Af rica, of Huntingdon, nnd E. J. Stack pole, ex-postmaster o:' Harrtsburg and president of the Teh graph Printing Company. Upon thei- return home Messrs. Africa and Staekpole took up the road proposition with their respec tive Chambers of Commerce; and be fore very long a concerted movement in behalf of the foad had been launch ed all the way across Pennsylvania. The advance publicity and first efforts of the road promoters culminated In a meeting at Harrlsburg late in March, attended by 700 road enthusiasts, when a governor was chosen for each }{Men'sGenuiMsft.2s ffilifl""" 1 " ''^WBl This Sdl \ Panama Hats [{= MM .KAUFMAN'S JUNE {SKG fewest Smnit I'■ i ?y s .Ks U aa ECONOMY EVENT fflgfsl strawHatsforiniea I ■ Starts To-morrow, Saturday Morning, at 8 O'clock CThis Great Economy Event Brings the Most Sensational | Sacrifice of Men's & Boys' Summer Clothing .

J I 3 of the 14 counties along the William Penn. William Jennings, of Harris burg, was elected president of the as sociation by the governors; E. M. C. Africa, first vice-president;; Frank M.

Part of Pike's Peak Koacl The William Penn Highway Is the Pennsylvania link in the Pike's Peak Ocean-to'Ocean road, a transcontinen tal thoroughfare which promises to HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH surpass the Lincoln Way in cross country travel within a very short time. As a scenic route the William Penn Highway is unsurpassed in Pennsylvania, as the Pike's Peak Way is unsurpassed in the United States. For lYmiaiiontization Within a week or ten days a meet ing of the William Penn governors will likely be held in Harrisburg or Pitts burgh, at which time the main road will be routed and several alternate routes accepted. Here In Cambria county there is much interest in the road which connects Johnstown with the west. The Cramer pike was tenta tively accepted some time ago, but thore are now enthusiasts who say the old Haws pike will be a better way west. This matter will be decided by the governors, when they learn what will be done on the two roads in the matter of permanent improvement. Hnrrisburg Headquarters Harrisburg, as told, will be head quarters for the association. The of fices there will contain data of Interest to all road users. From this office will be directed the campaign which be fore long Is expected to result in the permanentlzation of the entire 300 miles of thoroughfare from Philadel phia to Harrlsburg; and that other campaign which before the Fall of 1917 will, it Is prophtcied, send 1,500 vehicles dally east and west along the William Penn. Mr. Africa Had the Idea. Perhaps the first man who talked of the feasibility of a trans-Pennsylvania thoroughfare through the central tier of counties was Vice-president Africa 1916. of the William Penn. Several years ago Mr. Africa Interested himself in the proposition and took it up with the Slate authorities. Shortly after the present Governor was inaugurated Mr. Africa again took up the proposition and It is due for the most part to his effort that Governor Brumbaugh has taken a great interest in the highway. Mr. Africa, It will be recalled, lias frequently been mentioned in papers of the State as a probable and capable successor to the late H. J. Cunningham State Highway Commissioner.
