' BATTLETDWREST
CONTFIDL FROM
TAFT BEGUN.
I
Howell, in Chicago. Demands
National Committee Seat of
Victor Rosewater.
CHICAGO. June 3.—An effort to put
Into execution Colonel Roosevelt’s plan
to throw a monkey wrench into the i
workings of President Taft’s steam
roller was made today. Roosevelt de- ;
sires to break the hold of the presl-;
dent on the national committee. Taft,
forces claim a majority of five of the
men who have the say in seating con
tested delegates. The Colonel has five
newly elected members who would, if
they were seated, give him the upper
hand. The first of these, R. B. Howell, ;
of Nebraska, armed with a gold sealed i
certificate of election from the secre- ■
tary of state of Nebraska, is on hand
today and has started the contest. How
ell demanded the seat of Victor Rose
water. acting chairman of the commit
tee.
The fight to get control of the na
tional committee will take precedence
over all the fights. It will start as soon
as the committee gathers for its first
meeting, and the preliminary skirmish
ing already is under way.
Howell, the first of the contestants
on the ground, asserts that he Is and
has been, the national committeeman
from Nebraska, and that Rosewater is
only a holdover. Howell says he be
came committeeman on May 17. the
day that he qualified under the Ne
braska law.
Claims Seat Under Nebraska Law.
Heretofore the national committee
men have held office until after the na
tional convention. Chairman Harry S.
New. of the sub-committee on arrange
ments. says that the rule will be ap
plied this year. Howell asserts that,
the committee already has adopted a
rule recognizing the statutes of the va
rious states as authoritative, and that
under these statutes he is entitled tn
,his seat.
"There Is no question but that I am. i
under the laws of the state, the only
man entitled to act as a national com- I
mitteeman from Nebraska," he said.
"I am not making an application fori
permission to sit at this time for per- |
I eonal reasons. As lam the first and j
only national committeeman from No- ■
hraska recognized by the laws of the:
state and elected by a majority of the'
voters of the Republican party. I be- ;
Ileve I would not be doing my full duty
unless I filed my credentials at this j
time.”

Bolt at Chicago
CHICAGO. June 3.—On the eve of j
the Republican national convention a I
story that a bolt may occur has beer. 1
revived by activities of electricians at
the First regiment armory, situated .
near the Coliseum. ■in which the big.
convention will be staged. Which fac
tion plans to occupy the armory has I
not been stated in the gossip concern
ing the alleged bolt but the Taft men
intimate that the Roosevelt delegates:
may hold a "rump" convention there.
For three days electricians have been
putting telegraph wires in the armory,;
and special lighting‘arrange -nr nts have
been made. Colonel Jos. B. Sanborn,
commandant of the regiment, said that,
so far as he knew, no Roosevelt men
had engaged the armory.
NEW HOOP LIKE CYCLE
BUILT FOR SPEED OF
720 MILES PER HOUR
ST. LOUIS, June 3. —The aeriunicy
cle. the invention "f two St. Louis men,
William McDonald and Clinton L.
Coates, is the newest freak in locomo
tion. The contrivance, a great hoop,
with a rider inside, blown about by an
aeroplane propeller, has an estimated
speed of 720 miles an hour. Its sim
plicity of construction and minimum
of traction friction combine to give it
the speed, and it is asserted by its in
ventors to be the fastest mechanism
ever devised by man.
ENGLISH IS USED AS

guage has superseded French at the
American embassy ,-nd for the first
time in 35 years the diplomatic busi
ness of the United States in France is

he wants to be, and when he presented
his credentials to President Fallieres
he spoke in English.

KICKERS’

If you are unhappy,
have a grouch or a i
grievance, here’s the j
place to tell about it.
Transfer Time Limit
Too Short.
To the Editor: Please allow me
space to make the following complaint
against the Georgia Railway and Elec
tric Company:
I want to call attention to the time
I allowed on transfers, which is very
j meager. Now, for instance, we will
Aboard a car at Copenhill at 6:15 a. m.
: Fare is paid and transfer given on re-
I quest as per rules of the company: the
time punched on the transfer will be
found to be 6:20 a. m. or 6:25 a. rm.
and the patron transfers at Mitchell
and Broad streets, car arriving there
at about 6:25 or 6:30 a. m. As is '
; generally the ease, we miss the con-
Inection and must wait on the next ear. .
1 which may be running on a ten or I
twenty-minute sehiglule. Then the i
transfer is no good, as you will be po- i
litely informed, ami it is a case of dig |
down for another nickel.
The trouble is due to not allowing i
enough time on transfers. It is true I
that.there are people who form a hab- I
it of attempting to use overdue trans- i
fers while shopping, etc., but this is not
liable to occur to our working men and
women during the earlv morning hours,
and at least twenty minutes should be
allowed on all transfers during the day. '
It is only a fair and just demand. As a
matter of fact, the people of Atlanta
should be enjoying the six tickets for
25 cents. Yours trulv,
STRAPHANGER.

himself whih trying to exterminate

Miss Nina Gentry to Try to
Duplicate Her Second
Scores Abroad.
It has remained for an Atlanta girl
to invade the native home of golf, with
the idea of demonstrating once and for
all time that the brand of the bonnie
game we play down in this neighbor
hood is about as classy and well exe
cuted as the article they put up on the
heather where they’ve been playing I
since goodness only knows when.
Miss Nina Gentry, who is well known
throughout the South as a golf ex
pert. is in London with her father. W.
T. Gentry, head of the Southern Bell
Telephone Company, and a party of At
lanta relatives and friends
They’re going to do France and Vien
na. the Rhine country and nearly every
storied spot in Europe before their re
turn in July.
Miss Gentry has taken with her her
entire golfing outfit, and so have some
of the rest. But it Is on Scotland that
the Atlanta girl has particular designs,
and even before she begins her sight* j
seeing she's going to invade all the his
toric links of the heather country tn;
see if the playing which has won her
fam° an d records throughout the South
land can't' be duplicated abroad
She will play over the green at St
Andrew which is the premier golf links
in the world, and she will even tread
the grass of Skibo, w here .Andrew Car
negie holds forth when he’s abroad.
As a matter of fact, if Miss Gentry
accepts all the invitations received to
golf with those who have admired her
prowess in America, she won't do very
much else in Europe.
Miss Gentry says frankly she doesn’t
need the trip for recreation at all. She’s
of the opinion that a good golfer has a
better chance than most other women
to live to be a hundred years old.

ND ARBITRATION
IN HOTEL STRIKE
New York Proprietors Defy :
Waiters, Declaring They Will
Never Recognize Union.
NEW YORK, June 3.-—Efforts of the
state board of arbitration to effect a
settlement of the waiters strike which
has now affected 51 hotels and restau
rants were rejected today by the hotel
managers.
’’We are able to serve our customers
and only unconditional surrender of the
strikers of their demand for union rec
ognition will bring peace negotiations,
was the ultimatum from the hotel men
when approached in the interest of a
settlement.
Revised figures on the numbers of
waiters and cooks who had struck
showed that 4,500 employees were out.
The strike leaders declared that they
would never surrender on t+ieir demand
for union recognition.
That the struggle has only begun was
the declaration of Financial Secretary
Bloehllnger, of the International Hotel
Workers union
“When our campaign is in full swing,
he said, "we will not only be able to
get 100,000 hotel and restaurant work
ers out in this city, but 200.001 through
out the country.
Strikers Have Resources.
"There is plenty of time. We can
hold out for six months and have plenty
of money.”
"We have no objection." said Presi
dent Reid, of the Hotel Men’s associa
tion, "to meeting the two representa
tives of the stat ' board at any time, hut
it might as well bo understood in ad
vance that any effort to have us recog
nize the union and treat with the union
leaders will not be considered. That is
something we will not do. We will
close every hotel in New York first.”
The hotel managers planned to make
today the crucial point of the effort to
break the strike. With 300 members of
the Queen society here from Montreal
and Quebec and a large importation of
negro waiters, they had four of the
largest strike-breaking firms In the
country at work getting waiters and
cooks for the inside work and "strong
arm" men for the outside protection.
Not since the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
strike have so many strike-breaking
agencies been employed in this city at
one time.
