r PRESENCE OF T. R. i ADDS TO TENSENESS s CLASH BETWEEA FACTIONS MAY ! COME AM MOM EM. Police Prepared for Trouble?Present Situation in Chicago Unprecedented. Chicago, June 15.?Distinct and un -A -1 n _ 1 nV?or? (T/i in thfiX mis uiitioie was LUC ^ ? ( mosphere which followed the arrival of Col. Roosevelt. If feeling had been intense before, it became explosive in every quarter of the convention crowd. > From the densely packed throng * ' * -in frrvnt r\f the i wmcn gre^ceu VJ. ?^ Congress hotel to the utmost corner of th? most distant hotel, where delegates gathered, it was plain that it would take very little to precipitate an outbreak. Something of the piercing quality oi the famous "rebel yell" characterized the snapping cheers which interrupted Col. Roosevelt's speech from the hotel j balcony shortly after his arrival. v* California's Defiance. In the midst of that crowd the note of truculent defiance stood forth on California's banner, which waved with the cheering "California refuses to try title to property before the thief wh.o stole it" And Mr. Kooseveit caugm up luc note and made it the key note of his speech. f The feeling that matters had to come to some kind of crisis permeated both factions. Humors of hot-headed plans were given somewhat serious attention by the officers in charge of flrMrnramontc finmp uie cuiiv ciinvii. ?ii?ju&v*"vuvw. I of these rumors, untraceable to their sources, went so far as to suggest the possibility that the anti-Taft people might attempt to take possession of the convention hall on Monday night; | that there might be efforts to prevent the convention from effecting perma^ nent organization at all. Keady for "Rough House.'5 i Early in the day the Democratic administration of th-3 city of Chicago was taken intp counsel. Mayor Harrison assured the officers in charge of the convention arrangements that the ( city police were amply able to preserve order. Chief of Police McWeeney, it is said, would make his headquarters on Monday in the Coliseum building, which would at that time be turned over to ~ /\f nn lir>o Phiaf Ult: CUSIUUJ U1 WC vuvk j Weeney declared that if any "rough | ^ house" tactics were attempted he! would he prepared to throw 150 po-1 licemen in front of the stage within j one minute. Situation Unprecedented. "He would be a brave man who undertook to say tonight what a day, an hour, a minute might bring forth. The . fact is that there is a situation in Chi-1 cago now unprecedented in American j politics and no human being can tell * . what will be its outcome. The hottest % ^ battles in former conventions of any party seem almost insignificant compared with that which is culminating ' > ? Here. * It is impossible to question the accession of confidence on the part of the anii-Taft forces, which dated from the arrival of Mr. Roosevelt. Whether it had substantial foundation no one can say. Mr. Roosevelt himself came on the scene smiling, waving his now famous hat to the cheering crowds, and if his confidence was feigned it f . bore all the appearance of reality. DECLARE ROOSEVELT SHALL BE NOMINATED Colonel's Managers Flan Hot Time in Convention?Deny They'll Bolt, However. ! Chicago, June 16.?The Roosevelt | plans for the fight to be made in the *v Republican National convention Tues- I day were finally adopted at a conference of the Roosevelt leaders tonight T ^ under the direction of the colonel himself. They have determined that the convention snail i^ot be organized with the contested delegates seated by the national committee, and to this end they have determined to demand a roll call on the first proposition that comes up. This undoubtedly will come on the right of Governor Johnson, of California, to cast the twenty-six votes of that State on the question of the temporary chairmanship. This right will be questioned by the two Taft delegates from the 4th district Then the Roosevelt leaders will move at once that the temporary roll, I as made up by the national committee. be rejected and that a substitute * roll, prepared by the Roosevelt leaders, be adopted. This roll will include the 70 to 80 delegates which Col. r?-^^Roosevelt claims were stolen from Aim and which would be sufficient to J give the Roosevelt forces control of the convention. Under this plan of procedure?sub- i mining the contests to the committee en bioc. none of the delegates affected by the contests could vote. Under customary rules, passing upon the contests, State by State, one contested State might pass upon, the right of an- j other. | v The Roosevelt plan is a revolution-; ary one. It will be bitterly opposed by the Taft leaders, but it will serve j the purpose of bringing the fight quickly to the front and this is what j the Roosevelt leaders desire. Prvo^wotor chairman of the i ? 1VIV1 livovnunvi) national committee, will call the convention to order. It is not believed he will entertain the motion to consider a J second list of delegates, but will insist upon waiting for the report of the committee on credentials, which ordinarily would not come up for consid- I * eration until Wednesday. If he does | this the Roosevelt leaders will move | at once "to proceed to ttie nomination j of Theodore Roosevelt." j I In. other words, the Roosevelt dele- | gates in such a case would attempt to ! hold a convention of their own with- j in the convention hall. Col. Roosevelt tonight conferred for more than an hour with Chairman Rosewater, who sought the interview through E. Montreily, of Kansas City, a mutual friend. Mr. Rosewater ex- j plained to the colonel that in making | rulings on the.*cational committee in j contest cases he had followed the parliamentary rule that had always gov- j erned the deliberations of that body. : Col. Roosevelt directed severe criticisim against individual members of ' * !aa-- "KIT**. L) /\ ?n f A y* t C tne committee, uul ^vix . xw?cwa,LCi ? said to have escaped these strictures.' Finally the colonel demanded to know j what Mr. Rosewater's attitude would j J be when the Roosevelt forces proposed j to substitute a new temporary roll for j that prepared by the committee. "The rules of the committee will j apply," answered Mr. Rosewater. When asked if he would not consent f to submit the question to the conven- j tion, Mr.- Rosewater is said to have i asked for time in which to consider ; the question. It is expected that he will confer with his associates tomor-j row. ^ j ? j ALL THE REPUBLICAN CONTESTS ARE DECIDED Bitter Feeling at Conclusion of Committee's Session?Taft Gets 235; Roosevelt 19.

TAFT ME> CHARGE ATTEMPT TO BRIBE I Delegate Offered $1,0C0 to Desert President??McKlnley Gives Out i Affidavit, j j Chicago, June 16.?An affidavit ; charging an attempt to bribe F. H. I Cook, a negro delegate to the Republi can National convention from Louisi- | ana, for $1,000, to desert the Taft:! i forces and vote for Roosevelt, execut- I ed by Cook himself, was made public | tonight by Director McKinley, of the j Taft headquaters.

"Don't Need It," Xebraskan Posing as Reporter, Tells McKinley. Chicago, June 16.?William J. Bryan was a centre of attraction in the preconvention scenes today, and though appearing at the headquarters of leaders of a rival nartv as p newsnanpr re porter, was given a demonstration by j the throng of visitors and delegates. Mr. Bryan had a personal chat with ! Theodore Roosevelt late in the day af- j ter he had interviewed Senator Dixon, the Roosevelt campaign director, and Managing Director McKinley, of the Taft bureau. Ac Tirf* ontorod t Vi o _ i iuuuj, Elbowing his way through the crowd, some one shouted: "Hurrah for William J. Bryan." He was cheered for several minutes i and continuous cries of "speech, speech," came from all parts of the lobby. Mr. Bryan waved his hands to the crowd and remarked to those near him that he had come "merely as a newspaper reporter" and not seeking presidential nomination from a Republican convention. "I came to see your steam roller,"! said Mr. Bryan as he shook hands with Congress?nan McKinley. "Is it anywhere in sight?" "So, we have laid it aside," said Mr. ? McKinley, "but would be glad to lend j it to you if you would like to have it j at Baltimore." "Oh, no; we Democrats do not need it," Mr. Bryan laughingly responded, "we are going to hold a model convention." TfPfcPnt Wlll^llrAn IncnU n?uvuivp AU0U1U The following is from the Yorkville Enquirer, under the heading: "Just a Canard": So far as the Enquirer has infornia- j tion there has been no confirmation of i 'that story sent out of Rock Hill to the Charlotte Chronicle, alleging disrespectful treatment of Governor I Blease by Winthrop graduates 011 the j occasion of the presentation of the j diplomas. A Yorkvllle man who was in Rock Hill Saturday told the Enquirer that the Rock Hill people generally seemed more or less indignant that such a ?tory should be sent out, more especially when there was no foundation for it other than in the imagination of the correspondent The fact is, said the Enquirer's in- i formant, Governor Blease's conduct at i Rock Hill was so faultlessly dignified ! and proper that it occasioned favora- ! ble comment even from people who might naturally be expected to be most critical. He took occasion to say at the beginning of his very few I remarks that he was there solely in an official capacity rather than for the purpose of making a speech; but at the same time he wanted it understood j that he had alway| been friendly to Wlnthrop, to prove which he cited his legislative record and especially the | fact that the Winthrop appropriations were untouched in the long list of items he sought to cut out of the last appropriation bill. in view 01 tne governors conauci, and what he said, it was particularly regrettable that such a story should hive been sent out to the world, and the Rock Hill people did not relish the incident at all. _ ifow is the time to snbsciib to The Herald and News, $1.50 a year.
