Ninth District
tho Klnth district the district
ml t too was called by Mr. Speaker,
chairman. The chairman refoscd

nod that all tbo delegates from

Colonel Lyon, his superior, had thus
Ilrcctcd him. Tho district committee
(vas called. Seven members attended
Iho meeting The district convention
ivas called on May UV Eleven counties
ut of tho fifteen responded to tho call
ind took part In the convention. Three
Muntles wore not represented, and In
I ne of these there was no election.
1 If tor this convention hnd been called
the chairman of the district committee
cnanged Ills mind and called a meet
ing of the committee for April 17.
This committee called a congressional
convention to bo held on May 18. But
there was no publication of tho cart,
Which had to bo thirty days before the
convention, until April 21. The Taft
convention seenvj therefore to have
been duly and regularly convened,
while the Roosevelt convention was
not The Taft delegates were seated.
Tenth DtHct,
In the Tenth district tbo decision
tamed Inrgely upon tho bod faith with
which two members of tho district
committee voted In too Beating of dele
gates and ukii the bad faith with
which one of them uswl tho proxy In
trusted to him. Tho Taft delegates In
this cnao bolted and left tho hall and
Immediately In the samo building or
ganised another coovontloii which con
sisted of delegate from six counties.
Prooecdtngfl were regularly hold; a per
manent organisation effected, the re
port of tho ootnmlttoo on resolutions
adopted and delegate pledged to Taft
were elected. The undisputed evidence
Indicated that a (Vagrant attempt had
been mode to deprive Taft ot this dis
trict to which bo was Justly entitled.
5 ho national committee sustained the
tie of the Taft delegates and alter
nates by a practically unanimous vote.
Fourteenth District
In the Fourteenth dietrict there were
fifteen counties in tho district When
the executive committee met at Ban
Antonio to mako up tho temporary roll
there were ten mozubers of tho com
mlttco present whose right to act was
undisputed, of whom six were for Taft
and four for Roosevelt There wero
four other Itoosevelt men present
whose right to vote was disputed and
who were clearly not entitled to repre
sent their county at that meeting. Qno
of them held tho procy of the commit
teeman from Kendall county, who waa
dead, and the proxies from throe other
counties wero held, two by poatmue
ters and one by an assistant postmas
ter, while under the election law of
Texas no one who holds an office of
pro lit or trust onder tho United States
shall act as a member of an executive
committee either for tho state or for
any district or county. Tho temporary
roll was made up by Taft members,
having a clear majority without per
mitting these meu to act under their
proxies. There was a contest over the
delegation from Bexar county, which
contains tho city of San Antonio. Full
consideration was given to this contest,
but the testimony was overwhelming
that Taft carried tho county by a vote
of four or Ore to one. On the proper
basis the total vote in the district con
vention was elxtyecven, of which the
number instructed or voting for Taft
waa thirty -eeven and ono-half, the
number voting or instructed for Itooso
velt twenty-eight and ono-half, not vot
ing one. The Taft delegation was
theseforo seated at Chicago.
CONCLUSION.
The purpose of tills resume of tho
contests In which there was any shad
ow of substance has been to Inform
those who hare not tlino or Inclination
to read tho longer and more detailed
account 0 them cootalnod In the larger
pamphlet It is not oseontilal to make

men agree on every ono of tho issues
raised. They wore Oeddod by tho tri

made the proper tribunals to docldo

In good faith mistaken Judgment would
not invalidate tlieir decisions. As a
DaOer of fact an examination of the

the ellghtaet evidence that they wero
moved by other than a moro desire to
reach a right conduslon. On tho other
band, the action of. tho Boooovett men
In bringing ICO contents that they
promptly abandoned Btrongly tended
to show tho lack of good faith in tho
prosecution of all of them. Those who
support President Taft can well afford
to-stand on tho record in this cos and
to asseverate without foar of succees
tn contradiction that tho delegates
whose Beats wero contested wero as
(airly Boated In this convention as In

By TOMMY CLARK.
To have n losing ball team in Now
York is proving a serious loss to the
American league. The largest city In
the circuit should under ordinary con
ditions produce tho greatest revenues,
but New York has never and will never
support n loser.
Hnd the owner of the New York club

would probably have hod a pennant

Not a little of the credit of the pres

Judgment in handling tho team on tho
field. Since tho rirutes have been win

Manager Fred Clarke to re-enter tho
gamo, nnd It Is dawning on tho fans
that with Wagner nt the helm tho club
Is well directed.
Most of tlve Pittsburgh fans have
their eyes on flrst base. Right there
they will win or lose tho pennant, as

THE
RUNAWAY
Dy SAMUEL E. BRANT
A handsomely dressed woman carry
lug n suit case emerged from n Inrge
country plnce. and Just na she reached
the gate a uinn enmc hurrying nlong
the road. The suit case was heavy,
and she evidently had trouble to get
along with It.
"May I carry your bnggnge?" naked
the gentleman.
"I am sorry to trouble you, but If 1
don't permit you I fear I shall miss my
train."
"I, too, am going to the stntlon."
With a suit case In each hand, he
walked along with tho lady. "I should
suppose," he said, "that your butler
would bo doing this work."
Tho lady did not reply for some mo
ments; then she said: "I am going to
give you my confidence. My father Is
trying to force me Into a marriage 1
detest I am running away to get rid
of It"
"Do you not fear that ho will stop
you on the way by telegraph?"
"Will he? Oh. heavens! What shall
I do?"
Tho gentleman stood still. Ho wns
thinking. "I hnvo It," he said at last
"Come up to my house and disguise
yourself."
Slio suffered herself to bo persuaded,
and when they arrived at the house ho
suggested that sho put on man's cloth
ing. Phe demurred at first but finally
consented. He gave her a man's suit,
which she put on, nnd when she reap
peared ho was dressed as a woman.
"Why have you dono that?" sho ask
ed, surprised.
"Because we passed several iersoiis
on the road just now who saw us, and
you may bo tracked as having been
seen with me. They will speak of us
as a blond lady with a brunetto man.
We are now the reverse."
"You are very clever," sho said. "I
don't see any ono about. Is the house
unoccupied?"
"I live in the city at this season. My
family are there."
They were obliged to wait an hour
for another train, nnd by tho time they
started for It dusk had come on, and
they had no fear of being recognized.
The gentleman, as before, carried the
baggage. They waited near the sta
tion till they heard the puffing of tho
engine and did not go on to the plat
form until the train was ready to pro
ceed. Fortunately, they got Into a car
where there were few other persons.
"Now, If your father telegraphs,"
said the man, "to the different termi
nals to havo you stopped there will be
detectives at this one. When you leave
tho cars do not look conscious. I as
sure you thnt you mako a very good
man, though you might affect to have
a weak throat and cover the lower part
of your face with your handkerchief.
I will give you my glasses."
"How kind you are!" replied the lady
gratefully.
They chatted gayly during the ride
that they might not appear 111 at ease
and that they might be prepared to
carry out their parts well when Un
reached the station. Furthermore, each
was practicing U10 part of tho opposite
ses.
When they left the train at tho ter
minal the man told her that he would
put his arm through hers and when
he saw any ono whom he thought was
looking for her ho would squeeze It.
They each carried n suit case. They
passed through tho gate without being
stopped, and tho lady gave a sigh of
relief.
"Did you notico two men standing
on U10 left who eyed us suspiciously?"
he asked.
"Yes. Who wero they?"
"DetecUves."
"But you did not glvo me the sig
nal." "No; I told you I would do so that
you might not appear conscious unUl
I gave It I hod no IntcnUon of giving
it If I had you would havo given ui?
uway."
"You certainly net as If you had
been through something like this be
fore." "I have."
"What do you mean?"
"I will tell you later."
He asked licr to call a cab and hand
him Into It Sho did so and gave the
address of a hotel, to which they were
driven. The lady went to the office
and, with her hat down over her eyes
and her fnco partly covered with her
handkerchief, registered as brother and
sister. Beforo parting to go to Uielr
respective rooms U10 man said:
"You are Mrs. NVs lady's maid. I
havo seen you in her grounds quite
often. You havo her Jewels in this suit
case."
"Are you going to glvo mo away?"
sho asked, paling.
"Certainly not. And I will tell you
why. I am Mr. R.'a valet Tlio family
left certain valuables at their country
placo last fall, and L knowing where
Uiey were, havo been there, captured
them and havo tlicm with ma I was
as anxious not to bo recognized as you
wero. The telegraph would bo used
to stop you. No ono yet knows of my
theft"
"I havo said all nlong that you were
very clover."
"No more than you."
"You ok a pnlr of (1013100," Bald a
man, wlw stepped out from behind a
curtain.
"How did you get on to us?" aBked
tho crestfallen valet
"Suspected nnd followed you from
tbo staUon."
