2 ODLT DUE TODAY: TAFT WILL QUIT President’s Forces Planning to Unite With Progressives on Nomination of Cummins. Continued From Page One. Ington, Texas and Arizona —should not be permitted to vote on the question of the right of their delegates to sit and that the last three states—Wash ington, Texas and Arizona—should not put members upon the credentials com mittee. “Don’t Lie Down If They Beat You by Fraud." •That was the substance of Governor Oeneen's resolution. It was voted down bv substantially the same vote as that by which Mr. Root was elected chair man over Mr. McGovern. In each case the majority was a majority only be cause stolen delegates voted. Root was elected by virtue of 70 or 80 fraudulent votes. Deneen's resolution today was beaten by fraudulent votes, those of Texas, Arizona and Washington and the two from California that were fraudulent. If this had been changed the resolution would have been carried. Then the credentials committee by a regular 'national committee vote’ chose Devine as chairman —Devine the man who dickered for votes. •’Now. as far as I am concerned 1 am through—” A gray-halred man In the audience, tears streaming down his face, jumped up and cried: "Oh, don t say that. Then Colonel. Roosevelt continued. "I hope that tomorrow when you go back to the convention hall you will ask at once that not one of the fraudu lently elected votes shall count —and don't lie down again if they heat you by fraudulent votes. "There's no sense In voting to cut out fraudulent votes and then being beaten by fraudulent votes, and then saying we are sorry. I hope you will take the position that you decline to recognize longer and longer to asso ciate with those mon who are allowed fraudulently to sit on their own cases or on the committee on credentials. •q hope you will refuse longer to recognize that which has no right either In law or in morals, to be called the Republican national committee. We have elected our delegates by appeal to the people. T. R. Challenges His Men to Bolt. “I hope you will not allow yourselves to be swindled out of your rights and out of the victory that you have won. If you are voted down I hope that you— the lawful majority of the convention — will organize as such and you will do so if you have the courage and the loy alty to your convictions. "Let us find out if the. Republican party is the party of the people—ls It is the party of the people or the party of the bosses and the professional politi cians. •'1 have been asked to come hero and give you my advice. My advice is this: Don't waste any further time, don't have any further association —I say, don't have any further association with those men as long as they keep control. I hope that you will make this the issue the first thing tomorrow morning.” Governor Johnson followed Colonel Roosevelt. "After the facts in the contests have been presented to the convention." he said, "and action has been taken by the body, it makes every man sitting in that convention a party to any frauds, and for one I will not be a party to frauds in this convention. "I wired to California this afternoon that although 1 am a Republican gov ernor. 1 will not sacrifice my manhood and J will not support any nominee who is nominated by fraudulent votes. That is the position of California. "If turned down in the ronventioi; tomorrow morning we can march out and nominate Roosevelt. We can con quer the country and put man above dollars, if the Republican party is as sassinated out of its ruins can be built a still greater party." Congress May Probe Convention Bribery WASHINGTON.

Hundreds of Atlanta friends heard with regret of the death of "Dad" Ardery last Saturday, but only a few knew of the romance which brought about his second marriage and which was so soon ended by his death. The second courtship of "Dad" Ar dery began on April 17, last, when Mrs. Virginia Duke, a pretty young widow from Winder, (la., began a visit to the home of C. W. Underdonk. of 186 Cen tral avenue.

From the first Mr. Ardery showed an unmistakable interest in Mrs. Duke, and when the engagement was an nounced to Mrs. Underdonk she says she was not surprised at all. though Ardery was 46 and Mrs. Duke only 22. Their honeymoon was little longer than their engagement, and several days after leaving Atlanta they re turned. They went directly to the Underdonk home and arranged to live with them. Nearly two months elapsed then Mr. Ardery was taken with the illness from which he died.

June 20. —Theodore Roose velt’s political activities temporarily were suspended for a time yesterday when he expressed his appreciation for a woman’s effort to stampede the con vention In his favor. Right in the midst of a conference with Senator Dixon and several other of his ad visers. who came to his headquarters to report the day’s developments, Mr. Roosevelt thanked Mrs. W. A. Davis for attempting to get his name in nom ination. "It was a ‘bully’ piece of work," Col onel Roosevelt said to Mrs. Davis. Mrs. Davis was accompanied by A. E. Perry, chairman of the Oklahoma delegation, when she went to the col onel's headquarters. Mrs. Davis is a Kentucky girl, for merly Miss Tillie Tipple, and still known as the most beautiful girl ever "born in Paducah. Every one knows what the gov ernor of North Carolina said to the governor of South Carolina—at least there is a well-known legend as to what passed between these famous gen- T. R. Disturbed by Aids’ Near-Revolt CHICAGO, June 20.—Colonel Roose velt plunged into his plan of cam paign as soon as he arose today. He had only a few hours' sleep, but was the first man in his camp to get out of bed. Before 8 o'clock his personal bodyguard. Frank Tyree, a United States marshal from West Virginia, was summoned to the colonel's quar ters. E. T. Sprinkle, sheriff of McDowell county, West Virginia, who guards the front door to the presidential suite In which Colonel Roosevelt holds most of his war conferences, took hts station at 7: 45 o'clock. Colonel Roosevelt ordered a heavy breakfast. He ate heartily, excitedly. The colonel's ultimatum to his dele gates in the Republican national con vention, issued before he went to bed this morning, that they must bolt the convention if the 78 "tainted" dele gates are retained In their seats, still stood today, according to word given out by a dose friend of the Oyster Bay man. "1 never act until I mean real ac tion.” is a personal motto of Colonel Roosevelt's In which he takes great pride. Shift of Leaders Threatened. The colonel was unusually careful in the selection of the men whom he sum moned to hts first war council today. He knew there was revolt threatened In his camp. He parted in anger with Governor Hadley, of Missouri, early this morning. Senator_a|*xon. of Montana, is said also to have incurred the colonel's dis pleasure by objecting seriously to be coming "Irregular." The defection from absolute loyalty by Dixon Is said to have been a' severe blow to Colonel Roosxvelt. There were reports of an absolute change of Colonel Roosevelt’s field generals before noon, at which time Roosevelt's final plans of battle were to be announced at a caucus of his leaders and delegates. William Flynn, of Pennsylvania; Governor Johnson, of California, and George W. Perkins are still considered absolutely dependable and were called Into conference early.

Yesterday the gov ernor of Illinois and the governor of California tried a variation of the old story. , It was during the short recess from the flow of oratory and Governor De neen had just started toward the lunch counter when he met Governor John son, of California, triumphantly emerg ing from the crowd with two pieces of pie clutched in his hand. "Have a piece of pie. governor,” said Johnson. “Thanks, I will," said Deneen. And the two governors went off into a corner and nibbled on the pie until it was time to go into the convention. Three men believed to be delegates to the Republican national conven tion, but who disguised their identity under supposedly fictitious names, cre ated a panic in "Peacock alley" and the Pompeljan room of the Congress hotel early today and were arrested. The-men zigzagged into the Pompeiian room shouting for. “Teddy.” One wore a waste basket over his silk hat. Chairs and tables were overturned and women ran from the room frightened at the commotion. The men said they were from Michigan. FAMOUS GARDEN is reproduced 198 Varieties of Roses Bloom Where Empress Josephine Had Wonderful Park. * PARIS, June 20.—An interesting ex periment has been made at the Chateau of Malmaison, where the famous Gar den of Roses of the Empress Joseph ine has ben reconstructed. The garden will be open to visitors from now on. and 198 varieties of roses will be seen In full bloom, just as they are sup posed originally to have been in the Empress Josephine's famous garden. It Is known that she had a particular fan cy for roses, and went to lavish expense to have the finest rose garden of her day. They were catalogued by M. de Mirbel in the year twelve of the Rev olution, as the accounts state, but the catalogue which contained the names of more than 200 varieties has been lost. M. Jean Ajalbert, curator of the cha teau and museum, assisted by M. Jules Gravereaux, and helped by the funds contributed by a generous American, has succeeded in reconstructing most of the varieties. M. Gravereaux, in searching through the records, found 198 varieties of roses still extant which could be identified as those that had been cultivated under the direction of the Empress Josephine. Specimens have been brought from all over France for the last two years and planted in the beds exactly where they were sup posed to be flourishing 100 years ago. M. Eugene Touchet helped to plan the garden in the valley of the ancient park. Most of the roses are trimmed as trees with a single stem, aid are now in full bloom. They are labelled with the same names that the Empress Joseph ine gave them, and some of these names may be translated as follows: "The Loving Sweetheart, The Tender Beauty." “The Pretty Sultana."

K’fflDE'Jffl SLATDNRUNFOR GOVERNOR “She Said I HAD to Enter the Race, and I Did,” He Explains. HER MOTHER ALSO PICKS HIM AS ‘MAN FOR OFFICE’ “We Know He’ll Make a Good State Executive,” Declare Women “Bosses.” If “Jack” Slaton is the next gov ernor of Georgia —and it looks as if he will be —his wife will be responsible. It became known today that it was only at her plea that he consented to enter the race. When Mr. Slaton was asked just how he came to be a. candidate he bowed deeply with an inimitable gesture in the direction of his wife. When the re porter asked Mrs. Slaton if it were really true that her husband would not have entered the race for the state’s highest office but for her appeals, she smilingly said she guessed she'd have to admit that It was. So it came to be known that Mr. Slaton is giving up a $20,000 law prac tice not. nearly so much because he wants to be the commonwealth's chief executive as because he couldn't say no to his wife. “Tell you exactly how it came about," said Mr. Slaton In the beautiful study of hts country heme on Peachtree road. "We had talked over office holding many times. Mrs. Slaton, Mrs. Grant, her mother and myself. You see they had to have a man to he a candidate, and their ambitions were naturally for me, and I expect that's why I was per mitted to attend the conferences. Most ly they'd begin to talk of office holding as a sort of adjunct to housekeeping and I'd find myself injected into the situation through a maze of friezes and hangings, chinaware and linens, some fountains, a sundial and u row of palms. "What Are You Going to Do?” "I told them." said Mr. Slaton, se riously now. "that I was perfectly sat isfied with the honors that the people of Georgia have already vouchsafed me; that my law practice was a thing I was taking a great deal of pride in. and that I'd like to keep at it, particu larly as It helps out considerably in paying bills. But Mrs. Slaton would turn to Mrs. Grant at the end of my remarks and she would say that of course they wouldn't need those Illa" curtains for the guest rooms or the din ner set they'd been looking at if I wasn't going to he a candidate. And Mrs. Grant would look at me with a look that wondered how I’d dare to set up my will against plans for a Louis XVI chiffonier, and finally Mrs. Sla ton said that I'd got to run tor gov ernor because she wanted me to —so I'm running. "Here's the point.” continued Mr. Slaton. "What are you going to do when > ou're prisoner both to a wife and her mother?" One of the candidate's inimitable ges tures. this time indicating utter help lessness and sublime resignation, add ed quite as much to the explanation as his words. “He'll Make a Good Governor." Mrs. Slaton smiled confidently. "I'm afraid it's a shame to admit that that, is true," she said. "Really. Mr. Slaton is giving up a law practice that he cares sot very much and I'm vain enough of his success In the law to tell that it does mean a financial sac rifice of three or four times the salary of Georgia's governor. But I'm vain enough, too. you see. to feel sure that he'll make a pretty good executive and of course, if he's governor, why I'll b< the governor's wife, and I'll have my chance to put into execution some of my ideas concerning the operation of an executive mansion. McHarg Leads Fight in Credentials Committee CHICAGO, June 20.—Colonel Roose velt's followers appealed today to the credentials committee from the deci sion of the Republican national com mittee. The battle over the seating of 78 delegates given to Taft was fought over again. Ormsby McHarg. former foe of Roosevelt, but now one of his active leaders, appeared before the committee to present evidence of alleged fraud in those eases. His appearance there caused surprise in view of the early morning declara tion of Colonel Roosevelt that the ex isting convention must not be further recognized. “Does this mean a backdow n on colo nel's declaration that the present Re publican convention must not be recog nized further?” McHarg was asked. “Colonel Roosevelt’s speeches only applied to the gag rules which they had introduced in the credentials commit tee,” McHarg replied. “Are the amendments which were made to the rules sufficient to satisfy the Roosevelt faction'.'" “1 don't know,” said McHarg. "We will, at least, get a chance to speak on cases for a few minute.%," Most Draytic Ever Adopted. The rules adopted by the credentials committee of the Republican national convention were declared today to be the most drastic ever adopted by any similar body. They showed that the Taft men intended to ride rough shod over the Roosevelt faction who bolted the committee when the regulations were presented. The rules, as finally adopted after the Roosevelt members of the committee had left, follow : 1. The roll of the states shall first be called to ascertain what contests are to be submitted and they shall be heard in the alphabetical order of states and territories and the District of Colum bia. 2. Cases consolidated by the national committee shall be consolidated for hearing by the committee on creden tials. 3. Contestants not seated by the na tional committee shall open their case." 4. Thirty minutes to each side will be allowed in contests over delegates at large and twenty minutes in district contests. The contestant may reserve five minutes of this time to close the argument. Parties to contests shall be given all time- that may he reasonably necessary to present before the com mittee all their evidence. 5. Immediately after each case is heard the committee will, after discus sion, pass upon it. 6. No member of this committee shall be permitted to vote in any case where in such member holds his seat on the facts involved in the contests and such member shall from the room while the committee is discussing and acting upon his case. 7. No one shall be'admitted to th? hearings before the committee except the officers and employees of the com mittee and the parties to the case being heard and their attorneys, except the five press associations admitted by the national committee. First Draft “Toned Down.” The rules as adopted differed slightly from the first draft offered by former Senator James A. Heinenway, of In diana. The second draft was a little less drastic than the-orlginal rules, the principal change being a lengthening of the time allowance for contests. Four members of the Roosevelt forces who remained after the amendments were offered, however, refused to vote for the rules. Provisions in the original rules al tered or not included in the second draft follow : .so contest will be heard unless no tice appeal from the decision of the national committee shall have been given to the committee on credentials. (This provision omitted.) No contests will be heard which were decided by unanimous vote in the na tional committee. (Omitted.) Ten minutes to each side will be al lowed in contests over delegates at large and five minutes in district con tests. (Substitute rule adopted.) No evidence will be heard from con testants which was not presented be fore the national committee. (Omit led.) Why They Bolted. Edward ('. Carrington, of Maryland, a member of the credentials committee, described the proceedings preceding the walkout from the committee by the Roosevelt m< n last night. "The Taft majority of the committee sought at the outset to apply the gag rule," he said, "and I refused to dis grace the state of Maryland by sitting longer with the committee.” The proposed adoption at a rule Urn. iting argument of contested electior cases before the credentials committee to five minutes for district cases and ten minutes for state eases precipitated the bolt. After adjournment. Chairman Devint declared the committee would take us the contests this morning and finish them as rapidly as possible in theii regular order. ' The first bolt came at 10:30 o'cloch last night, after the Roosevelt men tried to beat open the doors and bring all newspaper men into the rortn. The doors of the committee room were suddenly thrown o<pen by J. J Sullivan, of Ohio, who rushed out with the cry, "All Roosevelt men walk out.” He was followed by Hugh T. Hal bert, of Minnesota; Francis J. Heney. of California; George L. Record, of New Jersey, and oilier Roosevelt men. As they pushed open the swinging doors after Sullivan, they cried out tc the newspaper men: I “Following Roosovelt's Orders.” I "All newspaper men come inside and ‘J see what they are trying to do to us.” I Colonel Thayer, assistant sergeant- • at-arms, shouted to the doorkeeper to admit no one. The Roosevelt forces shouted again for every one to come in. Mr. Thayer called for policemen, who pushed their way through and kept the crowd from getting in. The Roosevelt men poured out of the room, declaring they were acting under the direction of Colonel Roosevelt. "Everybody go to the Florentine room at the Congress," shouted one man. They rushed outside, followed by the crowd, and in the street they were overtaken by Secretary William Hay ward. “Why did you act that way?” he de manded of Heney. "Why didn't you wait until some rules had "been passed ?” “We arc acting under the direct or ders of Colonel Roosevelt," retorted Heney. "We are obeying a better general than you." shouted George L. Record, of New Jersey. "He told us to leave that room and we did it.” Hugh T. Halbert declared the break came as the result of the refusal of the majority in the committee to open up all evidence in the cases. Mr. Halbert presented resolutions asking that the temporary roll of the convention be considered only as prima facie evidence of the right of delegates to sit, and that all evidence, testimony and the like be gone into. He declared the committee refused tc do this and attempted to "gag". the minority by making rules that would have left the action of the national committee as practically decisive in all the contests.
