The,crop is young yet and only about 300 crat-.s come into the city each day, so Atlan tans are consuming al! that the ‘local markets can provide. It is well that Atlanta is using them »s fast as they come in. for the recent rains have so tilled the fruit with sap that after they are picked they will not keep but a night and day. Fifty per cent of the peaches now i nming into Atlanta are handled by Keil Brothers.

I CHICAGO, June 6.—The national I committee of the Republican party is | .scheduled to hold its first pre-conven-| tion meeting at 2 o’clock this after noon. With the .rap of the gavel that calls its members to order one of the bitterest fights that the Republican party has ever known will be'usher;d in. That this struggle is imminent is recognized by leaders of the three fac tions assembled here for the coming quadrennial gathering. Today their | leaders were at the various headquar- i ters early making final plans for their j maneuvers before the committeemen ■ appeared in their quarters at the Coll- | s.eum annex. The first fight will go to Taft. That) was conceded on all Sides today. There will'be no contest over the seat of Victor Rosewater, acting chairman of the national committee and commlt- I teoman from Nebraska. This was inti ) mated strongly from the Roosevelt • headquarters. It was announced boldly I from the Taft seat of war. R. B. How ell, who was elected committeeman from Nebraska at the recent state-wide primary, and who has asserted that he would claim Rosewater’s seat because of the election may. it is true, file his credentials w'lth the national commit tee when rhe roll is called shortly after 2 p. m It will be 'done’ to "save his face." Howell, who'arrived some days ago, loudly proclaimed that he would strive to unseat Rosewater. Since then National Committeeman W. L. sVard, : pf New York, has arrived. Ward is re garded as Roosevelt’s representative on the committee and its minority leader. He appeared surprised that there should be any talk of contests over the seating of committeemen The Howell talk about Roosevelt headquarters has died to a whisper. • : Howell to Abide By Committee Rule. But Howell may' be permitted to file his claim If he floes it will first be assured that he will agree to abide peacefully by the rules of the commit tee. The rules will permit him to as sume his office after the present con vention has adjourned. Thus will the steam roller get under way today. But before it proceeds with the regu lar business of flattening out delegates who appear before it in contest it is to Ibe thoroughly overhauled, tested and ■ put in repair. ' The committee calls this procedure adopting rules. That is th» important business today. The committee has heretofore oper -1 ated' only under temporary rules. It I has decided to frame permanent laws I for its own government, and today, a ! report of the permanent rules commit- I tee, headed by Committeeman Brooker, of Connecticut, will be con ddered. The rules will make two things explicit— the manner of hearing contests and the I limits of the term of a committeeman. While the final action of the commit tee will determine the methods to be used and while the report ff the com mittee is being guarded with a proper solemnity, the gist of rules is known. They will include a provision that the contests shall be heard by territories and states in alphabetical order; that each side shall be allowed not to exceed SO minutes for the presentation of each contest over delegates at large and fif teen minutes for district delegates: that where cases are similar district con tests may be bunched and heard all at I the same time: that the same evidence may be used in various cases from the same state; that no delegate whose election was not in accordance with the call and whose name was not filed at the time fixed bv the call shall be seat ed, except that where there is no con test the delegate may be seated on a| majmity vote of the committee Hearings Open to Newspaper Men. The one innovation will be a deci- ■ s.ion to hold open session of the com ) mittee while hearings are under way. : The hearings will not be "too open," however. A limited number of news paper men will be allowed to listen to the stories. Then they win be shooed out before the committee votes. The decision to hold open hearings < a.~, definitely reached last night It 1 was decided after William B McKinley. I manager of the Taft forces; Harry S. ‘New, chairman of the sub-committee ) on arrangements, and one or two others of the "conservative” faction held a I I long and a: (mated conference. Th whole situation was canvassed. Mc- Kinley thm formally asked in the name of President Taft that the public be al lowed —through the newspaper men to attend the hearings. Mr. New agreed to lay the matter before the commit tee. Old line members of the commit tee will be requested to vote for it. They will vote as requested. This does not m»et with the full ap prov’i of the Roosevelt men. Senator I Dixon today voiced the complaint of his faction. "We court full publicity." said Mr. I Dixon "This proposal is the height <>f I foolishness. It is when the roll is called I that the contests are decided. When ■ the vote is taken the public should be present. If the newspaper men are ex cluded during the voting it would be the height of underhand methods." Another move planned by the com mittee is disapproved by the Roosevelt men Victor Rosewater will be elected permanent chairman of the committee ■ —assuring that he will serve until the cont ention is over. Rosewater was ap pointed tctfng chairman afte former Gove-nor Hi’], f Maine, elected at the ■ De ember meeting of the committee, died He is a staunch Taftite. It was t - I Up and Down - Peachtree I Bill Blevins Sees Handshaking Match. . "I seen a tunny sight last night," said the Hon. Bill Blevins, who had recov ered his accustomed chair in the Kim ball house lobby today. "I've saw sev ereal queer specticcles in my time, in- I eluding pink elephunts and more kinds of snakes than Cyarter hed bats, but I this was diff'unt. I "This whole hotel was jea’ full and overflowin' with people, stewin' round and pushin' and shovin’, and yellin' fur eve-ybody else to git back and make room for Tom and Jack. I thinks may be somebody's do. e started a rastlin' match or a gougin' fracas, so I squeezes up to the middle to see what I kin see. "Hit s Tom Hudson and Jack Slaton j jes’ fixin’ to begtr. a handshakin' match. ' They’s cleared a open space down the I center like they’s ready for a quadril. 1 Hoke Smith is playin' empire, Little I Joe Brown is up on a high cheer hold | in' the watch and Tom Watson is slip • pin' aroun' in the crowd kickin' every body's shins arid raisin' more disturb ances than a bumbdlebee at a all-day singing’. “ ‘Go!’ yells the empire. An' off they starts. Tom gits a leetle lead on Jack, usin’ both hands to onct and weavin' f'um side to side. Jack’s right behind him, givln’ a. smile with eve'y shake and noddin' a howdy to fellers four rows back. Up the line they comes, forward and back, all hands roun'. and swing your partners.

"Hudson, he shakes a hundred an' sixty-two in the f'ust minute, and Sla ton. he ain't more’n two or three be hind. He ketches up in the second minute and f'um then on hit’s nip and tuck twixt Jack and Tom. Watson, who’s got crowded over in a corner, is yellin' 'Foul' and 1 ‘No fair,' as'fas’ as he kin ketch breath, but there ain't no body knows which side he's on. Hit's a five-minute match, an' the time's mos' up. Them two candidates' tongues is hangin' out, and their hands is as limp as b’iled cabbage, but they’s both game and cornin' strong.- "I was jes' try-tai' to make up my min' which way to bet about two-bits when Little Joe, the timekeeper, leaps so fur off'n his cheer thet he tumbles off. and that busts up the whole shakln’ match. I Hit do seem a shame to spile a good time like that." "But who really won, Bill?" asked Ed Brown. “We'll never know," returned Mr. Blev ins. "When the timekeeper falls off'n his cheer I feels a bump on my noggin and finds I've done fell out er bed. So I eats me a snack and comes on up to the Ixlmball to see what I kin see." admitted by various members of the committee that Rosewater would be elected after the roll call today. Defeat Roosevelt Single Object. In fact, the entire Taft program, hinted before the arrival of Congress man McKinley, has crystallized today. Rosewater wili be elected chairman. He will be official chauffeur of the steam roller. The committee will seat all the Tift delegates. At least, they will seat ihem until Taft is certain that he has enough delegates to nominate, and un til the "moral effect” on the supposed ly wavering Southern delegations is sufficiently impressed. Root will be made temporary chairman. Root will also be advanced for permanent chair man. The Taft program has one object only: Defeat Roosevelt. From the Taft headquarters, where these plans are given out. covered with the proper reserve on the part of those who stand for them comss the prophecy that Roosevelt and his followers will bolt. From some of the ardent Roose velt supporters who have not heeded the admonition of Senator Joseph M. Dixon to allow him to no all the talk ing comes the assertion that the Taft men are trying to force a bolt. The selection of Root as permanent chairman is the fact pointed to by these men to prove their assertion. The se lection was made after a long confer ence of the "conservative” leaders that lasted until after jjnidnlght. The con clusion was announced by Harry New. "I think there is no doubt." he said in response to a question, "but that the temporary officers of the convention will be permanent;." Root’Planned For Permanent Chairman. it is an open secret about headquar ters of the Taft faction that Senator Root's keynote address will be in a sad minor, so far as the Roosevelt faction is concerned. He has been selected for the permanent seat. Roosevelt support ers affirm, because Roosevelt has let it I be known that he will tight him. About the time that Root receives the second election at rhe hands of the convention —according to the prophecy the Taft men —Colonel Roosevelt, with hie followers, will file from the hail and the "rump convention' of the Dyster Bay candidate's followers will i begin. On the prophecj of a bolt, Senator Dixon and those closely associated with him are assiduously putting the soft pedal. The talk affects Senator Dixon deep ly. It is preposterous, as he view s the situation, to conceive that a candidate with enough votes to nominate him on the first ballot should bolt. Both McKinley and Dixon gave out statements of delegate strength. Dixon claims 527 for the colonel, gives Taft ' 171. figures 130 uninstructed and rhows that 204 have been contested. IF TIRED.

Perhaps she had treated them a little , too harshly when they dirtied their new suits. She wished them back now. dirt and all. Never again would she raise a hand to them. It required'the extreme efforts of Mrs. Slaton and the neighbors to quiet Mrs. T rowbridge The police were called and a party of searchers was formed. Before it had gone a block it numbered more than .300. Up and down Cooper and Form wait streets, Georgia avenue and out to Pryor street the searchers went. And still no Lucian, Julian or Herbert. Aid Near Them At One Time. Meanwhile the three were crying out and beating their, tiny hands against the cupboard door, but it refused to open. Darkness had come and. they wanted mamma. Nothing out the hqi low echoes responded. Intermittently they would fall asleep and it was while they were unconscious that a group of searchers entered the vacant nouse. Mrs. R XVatkins had occupied 230 Formwait only a week and the Trowbridge children had often visited . her. She suggested that the children might have gone to the empty house, and fallen asleep. Acocrdingly Mrs. Watkins, with several others, entered , the place and looked aLout.' Once Mrs. Watkins paused in front of the cupboard and placed her hand on the latch. But the Closet was so ri diculously small that she dismissed from her mind the possibility of their being inside. Five minutes later Ju lian awoke and began to cry tigam. but the searchers had gone. All the while the air became closer. The smallest child. Herbert, fell into a stupor. His two brothers thought he was dead and this made them hyster ical. With all the energy they could summon they began to shriek, and the sound, tiny though It was, reached the ears of John Harrison, who lived next door. "What was that?" he asked his wife. •She thought it was a rat tn the attic. "No," he said; "it came from the empty house next door. He then went outside and borrowed a lantern from several of the searchers who were stili ffi the vicinity. A second time they entered the house. Th,is time the children were awake and crying. For a w hile the cries could not ! be located, but Mr. Morrison finally | went to the cupboard and threw it open. There, curled up like three little kit tens. were the children, more dead , than alive. When they were taken to the mother, she rushed up to them, gave them a convulsive hug. and fell over in a faint. The children were found at 9:20 o'clock. - , Today the whole family is happy and ■w eU. "Who locked you up in that closet, Herbert?" a neighbor asked.
