COMMITTEE SEATING THE TAFT DELEGATES THE VOTES ADDED TO PRESIDENT'S STRENGTH. / Roosevelt Loses in All Contests Decided Friday l>y National Repnhli can Committee. ? i Chicago, June 7.?Twenty-four dele- i gates from Alabama and Arkansas j were added today to the Taft column j by the action of the Republican na- j tional committee on the so-called j Roosevelt contests from those States. All contests presented before the committee today were decided in Taft's fa vor and in all but two the decision of the committee was unanimous. One roll-call test, apparently, has shown fifteen anti-Taft votes. i The cases decided today were those of the six delegates at large and the two each in the 1st, 2d, 5th. 6th and 9th f^norrocLi.Midi Hisrriots in Alabama ' iv/iiut y and the four delegates at large and the two each in the 1st and 2d districts of Arkansas. There refnain to be heard of the Arkansas contest those in the 3d, 4th, 5th and 7th districts. The contest over the six delegates at large from Arizona was postponed until a later day on motion of Commit- j teeman Penrose, of Pennsylvania ^ Peaceful, So Far. In view of the bitter feeling between the Taft and Roosevelt adherents the meeting was surprisingly peaceful, although it opened with a contest which seemed to forecast a degree of friction. This, however, failed to materialize. Colonel Wants Only "Justice." Oyster Bay, N. J., June 7.?"Justice and no more tha^i justice" is all he wants from the Republican national i. - ^.-1 T> u committee vjoi. nuiksevcn a<xau wuism. i After hearing what happened in Chi- j cago today, when the contests from I Alabama were decided by the commit- I tee, Col. Roosevelt intimated that it was his purpose to give his managers a free hand in fighting for contested delegates.' "They know the details and I don't," he explained. "I told my managers Deiore iney went to Chicago," he added, "that I did not expect any of the delegate contests to be decided for me that I was cot entitled to. I said I wanted justice and no more than justice. ""In Alabama I thought one district as for me." ' , The colonel reached into'an inside : pocket and carefully unfolded a sheet : ?f paper, placing an envelope over it i /in such a way that only the first type- 1 "written line was" visible. From that ; Une it was apparent that the document j contained the colonel's own estimate i ??f the standing of delegates. 1 Thp linp r.^ad: | "Alabama: Taft 22; Roosevelt 2." "I don't think I care to show you the 1 rest of this," said the colonel, smilling, i "but you can see that I had not counted on more than two delegates 1 from Alabama." Whether Col. Roosevelt is to go to Chicago apparently was as far as eve? from being decided today. In response to all rumors, pro and con, he said that he did not know. Forty-Eight Added to Taft Banks Decisions of contested delegates osfore the Republican national committcc - to date are: For Taft: Sunday's decision?Arkansas?Del gates in Third, Fourth, Fifth and Seventh districts?8.

June 8.?Forty-eight was the total number of delegates to ..he j Republican national convention turn- j ed into the "Taft column" today by the national committee's decision upon contests from Arkansas, Florida and Georgia. The Roosevelt contestants lost every case as they did yesterday. Ten of the Georgia districts?20 delegates? went to Taft in one blanket decision, both sides agreeing to their being de- j eided upon the same arguments as j had served in the case of the four j delegates at large, which had just j been givn to Taft. The two remain- I I ing Georgia districts with two apiece went the same way. With the 24 delegates?16 from Ala- i bama and 8 from Arkansas?placed on the temporary roll of the convention j as the result of yesterday's hearings,: today s work runs up th total to 72 j rT",--ex fKn nofmnol ! added to me i ait u&l tuv uaiAvuMi committee convened Thursday after- j noon. The cases passed upon today j were: Aikansas?Third, Fourth, Fifth and Seventh congressional districts, 2 del- i egates each: S in all. The Sixth dis- j trict was not comesieu; <ue ueiesaies are listed as "uninstructed." Florida?The six delegates at large and all three districts, the entire State representation; 12 in all. Georgia?The four delegates at large and all of the| 12 congressional districts, each with its two delegates; 28 in all. This clears the docket for the taking up early next week of the cases unon which the Roosevelt people are laying far more stress than upon those I from the South, such cases, for example as tbose from Indiana, which probably will be taken up when the committee convenes Monday morning, j These still remain in alphabetical order the cases of the six delegates-atlarg from Arizona and of the Fourth congressional district of California TV* ait o Ka fol-nn in an Afr*nHoif a r* 1 U'CJ iuaj uc * c*.ivvyii vy 11 atiuuuu^* \j 1 may go over until later in the week. Colonel Serves Notice of Bolt Oyster Bay, N. J., June 8.?The Re- i publicans of the country were called I upon tonight by Col. Roosevelt to protest against the action of the Republican national committee in ruling upon the contest for seats in national convention from the Ninth Alabama district. The colonel served notice upon his opponents that, in his opinion, the party as a whole repudiate a nomination if it were obtained in "defiance of justice." He declared that every man who wishes to see the party continue to ex- j ist should protest at once "against those who are deliberately trying to wreck it." "The leaders," said the colonel, "speak as if they were the regular Republicans. I do not concede that theft is a test of regularity." Col. Roosevelt's statement was given out after an all-afternoon confer ence. He was in constant touch over his private wires during the day with Senator Dixon and his other lieutenants in Chicago. He also consulted with a number of his supporters who visited him. SEABOARD CHANGES HANDS Big? Deal Gives Control To Warfield Syndicate.?Transfer of 210,000 Shares of Stock. X" ~ ... T - n A i. -\ew ioih, June d.?Aiiuouiicemeiii was made here tonight of the purchase, by S* Davies Warfield, president 1 :>f the Continental Trust company, of Baltimore, of a large block of stock in the Seaboard Air Line railway, whereby control of the railway will pass to Mr. \Warfield and a group of financial interests associated with him. The transfer, it is stated, makes the prac- . tical retirement of Thomas F. Ryan from the Seaboard. The sale announced includes 90,000 shares of the preferred and 120,000 ?hares of common stock of the Sea- 1 board Air Line, rnd was made by the i Cumberland coloration. During the 'ast yuir Mr Warfield has acquired large holding of Seaboard stock which, with the latest purchase, passes control to the group with which he is associated. In all, practically ?37,000,000 of common and $24,000,000 of the referred stock are outstanding. CHAIR PROBABLY DELAYED. governor Refuses to Corn mute Hyde's Sentence?3Iay Appoint Commission to Report on Sanity. The request of Attorney L. L. Rice, )f Anderson, of Governor Blease, to commute the death sentence of Samuel X. Hyde to life imprisonment and he governor's refusal, followed by a request for a commission to examine into the sanitv of Hyde, which the j ^ I governor proimseu 10 apijuim, uu^gs i forward the fact that it is hardly possible that the electric chair at the penitentiary will be completed in ^ time for the first electrocutions, that of Isaiah Butler and .John Cole, the two Charleston negroes under sentence to die in the electric chair on June 21. Hyde, who killed his wife and her j father, is sentenced to die on July 5.1 A negro from Walhalla is sentenced to die on July 5, and one from Anderson on July 12. If the chair is not completed in time for the electrocution, and there is little doubt that it will be completed by June 21, the governor will likely be asked to grant the condemned men reprieves until such time as the chair can be installed, which may be early in July. The board of the penitentiary meets next Wednesday, at whicii time some definite statement may be securd as to when the electric chair and the' death chamber will be completed. >'ow is tlie time to subscrib to The Herald and >"ews, $1.50 a year. li.- .. ft ? ... - . .Now is the time to subscribe to The Herald and News, $1.">0 a year, 7?">c. six months, 50c. four months, ii ???? > NOMINATIONS. for tongress.
