Chicago, June 7.—Twenty-four dele- | gates from Alabama 8and Arkansas were ad today to the Taft column y the action of the republican na- tional ymmittee on the so-called Rocsevelt comtests from tnose states All of the contesis presented before th committee today were decided 1n Taft and in all but two the deci of the committee was unanimpus, al- though one roflcall test apparently had ghown 15 anti-Taft votes. Arizona Contests Postpon=d. favor, The cases decided today were those of the six delegates at large and the two each in the first, second, fifth, sixth and ninth congressional districts in Alibama and ths four delegates at Jarge and the two each in the lirst and second districts of Arkansas. There remain to contests those in the third, fourth, fifth and seventh districts. The contest over the six dolegates at large from Arizona was postponed until a later day on motion of Committeeman Pen- rose Pennsylvania. Meeting Surprisingly Peaceful. In view of the bitter feeling between the Taft and Roosevalt adherents the meeting was surprisingly peacefui, s though It opened with a contest which seemed to forecast a degree of fri tion which, however, fafled to mater! alize. This contest arose over a renewal by Benator Borah of Idaho of his motion of yesterday which would permit only eight members of the committee to de- mand a rolicall instead of 20, as pro- vided by the existing rules. Borah Talks of “a Gag” Dennis T. Fiynn of Oklahoma, hoid- ing at the time the proxy of Commit- teeman Flanigan of Nevada, moved to 18y the Borah motion on the table. Mr. Borah wanted to debate the motion, but Chairman Rosewater declared it undebatable as a proposition of par~< liamentary law. “I don’t intend to be choked off by a gag thus early in the campaign,” said Eenator Borah, with some show of heat, “and 1 will either have my say here of 1 will occupy such a position that thi= convention will make ro Pprogress, Borah's Motion Tabled, “This committee will conduct ite proceedings under the usual pariia- mentary roles,” said Mr. Rosewater, with marked dignity. But you shall not adopt any ruie or gag by ‘aving motions on the table thus early in the campaign,” retorted the Idaho senator. The committee proceeded to table the Borah motion by a viva voce vote and then Mr, Borah was permitted to continue, which lLe did as follows: Willing Steam Roller Shall Operate. Mr. Chairman: We will not make progress here, now I know that ve a steum rolier I den't even to cushion the steam roller. I perfestly willing that the steam am roiler shall operate, but I want to say here and now that it will be known to the country that it does operate, how it operates and who is operating it.

Colonel Stone Plans t o Prevent “Rough House” by Roosevelt Men. Chicago, . June ‘olonel William F. Stone, sergeant-at-arms of the re- publican national convention, tonight appealed to Mayor Harrison for police protection at tomorrow's national committee W ing contest hearings at the Colseum. Colonel Stone's action, he said, was prompted by reports that certain Roosevelt leaders had prepared to take steps to intimidate the membership of the committee in its deliberations on the contests. Other members of the committee, including Colonel Harry 8. New of In- | diana, Hon. Murray Crane of Ma chusetts, Se r Newell S. Anderson and others s had heard the reports of a planned Roosevelt demonstration at the committee room during the hearings. “There be no ‘rough. house’” d Colonel Stone, “in the committee, ither will there be any demonstra- tion permitted on the outside of the Coliseun Drastic measure will be asked the Chicago city authori r police protection at the coming hearings. Colonel New said he had b e ports of possible pending trouble, but wos loath to believe them. “Such a report as this,” said Colonel New, “seems to be incredible. Cer- tainly no one Is foolish enough to he- lieve that anything can be gained for a cause by the adoption of such meth- ods. And surely no one who know: the members of the national commit- tee is going to believe that they can be bluffed or terrorized by any mob or set of thugs that can be mustered. “Mind you, I do not believe that any- | thing of the sort will be attempted, as | tempted.

Dixon of Montana, Colonel Roosevelt's campalgn manager, declined to dis- cuss these reports when the matter was called to his attention. Senator Dixon said, however, that he might have some comment to malke later. Congressman Willam B. McKinley, | director of the national Taft bureau, specified William Flinn of Pittsburg as the Roosevelt leader who he had been informed was expected to start the trouble. | Mr, McKinley also stated that he| had received reliable information to| the effect that George W.

Three minutes before the roll was called on this contest Senator Murray Crane of Massachusetts, walk- | ed over to Mr. Stephenson of Colora- | do, who holds the proxy of Senator | Scott of West Virginia, and said to | him ‘We simply cannot afford to go on record in this case against seating the !

Four Mile Course Covered in 21.22— Stroke 28, With Finish at 36. Gales Werry, June 7.— The Harvard varsity eight had an- other time row over the four mile course on the Thames Friday after- noon, covering the distance in 21. The course was.downstream, with slight favoring wind and tide. The men rowed a 28 stroke all the way down until the last half mile, when it was sent up to 36. Over the first two miles under the low stroke the boat did not seem to go very well, but in the last two it went much more smoothly, especially with the high The freshman eight had a half mile spin while the fours paddled down the river to the two mile mark in one stretch and then paddled back to quar- ters. The varsity eight has already estab- lished itself as one of Harvard's b crews, and its time of 20 minutes 25 seconds for the four miles reported made Wednesday evening is just 15 seconds from the historic record for the river. Conditions were fast, but Oy no wmeans significant of record- breaking. and the time indicates that the Harvard eight is some 30 seconds faster than its Yale rival at the pres- ent time.

The strikers are en- ‘tirely of Italian nationality, the great- er number women, and few speak Eng- lish understandingly.

New Haven Division Only One Hold- ing Out Againsh Company’s Offer. New Haven, June 7.—There will be no strike of trolleymen of the Con- necticut company. An official state- ment issued tonight says that at a conference between representatives of the motormen and conductors of all divisions and officials, all divisions ex- cept New Haven formally accepted the wake scale and working conditions of- fered by the company. The wage scale is a8 follows: First year, 22 cents per hour; second year, 28 cents per hour; third year, 231-2 cents per hour; fourth year, 243-4 cents per hour; fifth vear, 26 1-4 cents per hour; sixth vear and thereafter, 271-2 cents per hour.

In the case of the New Haven di- vision, the statement says that the company has offered to submit the meatter of wages to arbitration. The arbitration, however, will deal only with the question of wages,and not with any other matter. It is expected that this will be the solution of the problem on the local division.
