LEAKED GI T LITTLE TOO SOOX. Petition Flan Against Taft Only ~Flasli in Pan"?One Man Openly Admits Part in Conspiracy.* Washington, July 9.?The scheme of Republican progressives in house of representatives, to launch a fresh campaign against asking him to withdraw as the Republican nominee, proved to be a "flash in the pan" today. When pinned down to it, the* memn'hn har? r?p rtirinated in the-con k/Vi O " uv uuu v-^-r ? ference which developed the idea hastily joined the "don't mention my name club." Those who started the movement abandoned their efforts to show the participation of the regular Republicans in it, and it was clearly apparent that there was little support forthcoming from that direction. Only one of the participants m tne informal conferences, Representative Rolin Rees, of Kansas, publicly admitted his share in the proceedings. He admitted that he bad a petition aimed at Mr. Taft and he made it public, coupled with the following statement: Mr. Kees's Sclieme. "My scheme was to.appeal to President Taft's patriotism and well known love for party solidarity. To be successful, my petition would necessarily have to be presented to him by those who were his political adherents at the time he sought the nomination. I had no thought that my own views or those of other progressive members would make much impression on him, but it seemed to me that if those who really have his welfare at heart would urge the views upon him that I tried to set out in the petition, he would take the step suggested or devise some other plan that would relieve the party from its present embarrassment. I did +V>o+ fViQ rir&oc sihrmlr? t U<Jl UJllCUU mai< jLTJ. o~~ hold of this scheme until I had a fair opportunity to try it out, but since it has become known I prefer that a correct version be given. I had not proceeded far enough to solicit any signa # tures, but had submitted the plan to several colleagues for their suggestions." TVio hoarfimr nf Mr. Rees's netition recited the charges of fraudulent nomiiiation against President Taft freely made by the supporters of Col. Roosevelt * Progressives See Defeat. It proceeded on a new tack, howver, by asserting that whether the charges were false' or true they, nevertheless, would have an effect in the ejection, and in the minds of progressive Republicans; they would result in the defeat of the Republican ticket. The petition of Mr. Rees has not been adopted by the insurgents. While some of them were of the opinion today that prematura publicity had kilted the scheme, others thought differently and all concluded that it would be best to hold another conference when more insurgent leaders are in Washington. Not one of the parties tD the conference had any dire.ct word from Senator Dixon, Mr. Rooseevlt's campaign manager, as to his attitude. In the o o- ~VV? M-nvrl T r*0 .> ? i ?-? fVlO IVlCnT?

All decided to await deevelopments. HILLES TO LEAD j TIFT'S CAMPAIGN Is Chairman of Committee With J. B.! Reynolds Secretary?Will Start ^ Fight At Once.

The subcommittee of the national committee announced the selection of: Mr. Hilfes and Mr. Reynolds today, after a half hour session with Presi-' dent Taft at the White House and j ^afew minutes in conference in a downtown hotel.

It is feared that a further search | of the mine will increase the death roll to 80. Of the killed 30 were mine workers; the others were men who went into the pits to rescue the entombed.

Thirty of these were killed outright and one, the Manager of the pit; was brought up alive but died lati 1 er.
