MILITARY CONTROL BY TAFT MEN IS ADMIRED BY ELBERT HUBBARD By ELBERT HUBBARD. CHICAGO. .lune 21.—The arrangements were perfect. I.ike the zealous salesman, who was* kicked downstairs, you could not but ad mire the system, no matter what your po litical preferences. There was no jam at the doors, and none in the streets. Half a square before you reached the hall you were gently detained by men In blue, who evidently had received orders to he courteous and keep their tempers above ail things. These men asked: “Can we be of service to you?” 1 ou might have supposed bad been trading Sheldon on salesmanship. I'hey apologized and examined your tickets. They directed you where to enter. There were enough policemen, so they kept the crowd back, so there was no jostle. At the doors you were again care fully looked over. Persons with a smell of liquor on them or a suspicion of firearms never reached the doors at all. If they had tickets the pasteboards were politely declared irregu lar or counterfeit. Bibulous Visitors Turned Back. I saw two men from “the provinces’’ who were needlessly conversational, walk ing arm in arm. These men were gently, hui firmly turned back after the police man iiad called the captain. The men had tickets ail right, but the holders were in a comi it ion where they might make a needless amount of noise. The policemen had no clubs in sight. ’l’hey wore white gloves. Their shoes were shined. They were clean shaven, brushed and groomed. They were picked men, not 100 old. nor absurdly young. “Lady Policemen’’ Also. I'hcn there wTre “lady policemen.” wiio a. ; ed Hie ladies to remove their hats and be careful about hatpins. Ii was a throng of which the Republican party might well be proud. There was not a poor man in sight -certainly not a poor devil. Everybody was well dressed, well fed. shined, manicured. Ti.c proletariat, the sans coulette, the plclfan. the agrarian were not in evidence. Tickets y worth S4O api ?ce. It was a grand opera crowd.

The council, at its special meet ing. passed the resolution calling for an amendment io the city charter giv ing citizens the right of appeal to the tax committee.

Aiderman Chambers said h" believed the enha icement in values in lii" Lakewood section would the city realize a handsome profit on the i xpen-e incurred. The charter amendment enabling the council to place 20-year employees on Um pemion ron whether they desire it oi not was promptly defeated. There mu- no debate, but Alderman Hatcher’s motion to table the ii soiulion. was car lied. Lear of political moves in bring ing chiii’g' - against old officials is said t" have been the reason for its de ’ Lal. The resolution from the vt<-<- com mission. giving the city right to regu late looming houses and refuse them licenses under eci tain circumstances, was adopted without debate. CHINESE SOLDIERS.

SLAY NATIVES PEKIN. .lune 21.—The Chinese troops stationed in Mukden mutinied and many natives were victims of tbeii ferocity and hundreds of bouses were destroyed Jewelers' stores were loot ed and burned, Foreigners and their pioperty were scrupulously respected by the troops. The women and children found refuge al the British consulate. The city is quiet again. DREADING TO TESTIFY. P. 0. CLERK SLAYS SELF LOUISVILLE, KY„ June 21.—Philip Eigelbach.

A line of helmeted policemen stand solid between the platform and the audience. At the intersection of every aisle stand police in tows. Interspersed with these are others in plain clothes, hut with the badges in sight. The police have evidently been thor oughly instructed Everything in the line of action is to be suppressed instantly, and quickly, too If three—delegates or visitors happened to move in a certain direction together a policeman pushes in between them and ac cidentally stops their progress. No riot could possibly be started and all that talk about some one rushing up and seizing the gavel, or two conventions being held at the same time is an impos sibility. Plea Made Amid Quiet. This vast assemblage is in no mood for rough talk or rough action. If any rough riders are here, they wear white waist coats and have their trousers freshly creased. If this fight were to be won on noise, threat, bombast and caloric it would have been all over last Saturday when Bom bastes Eurioso arrived ami made his speech to the waiting multitude at the Lake front. The noise \Vas tried, all right, but it didn't work. But that does not mean the extinction of T. K.. not the slightest. But neither Elihu Root nor Governor McGovern would allow that gavel to be snatched out of the hands of him to whom it bad been entrusted by orderly parlia mentary procedure of the convention. Theodore Roosevelt is a very wise man. He will go just as far as he can. but he, above al) men, will not go further than the people will hack him up in going. And this time he receded and saved his political life alive. His strength is still in doubt. It was a Taft audience ami the people who had seats in the Coliseum realized to whom they ar«e debtors for the favors con ferred. If any stealing has been going mi. It is all according to the code laid down, fully understood and backed up by legal prece dent. NAME Df T. B.

The body had been hanging tor more than a year, and was nearly mummied. The body was dis covered by cowboys. The man evidently had beer sitting astride a limb, above an old Indian hunting platform.

NEVIN. The entrance -'f Judge Horace Holden into the race for congress in the Tenth district is being generally accepted by political observers in Georgia as the last sure sign that the gubernatorial race is to be between Joe Hill Hall and John M. Slaton absolutely. .Mr. Hardwick, so his friends think, un questionably will announce for re-elec tion to the house. Judge Holden's announcement is con strued by most Georgians to be a direct challenge to Hardwick-and especially so since Thomas E. Watson has enthusias tically espoused ihe cause of the judge, and states that his triumphant and easy election over Hardwick is a foregone con clusion. -Mr. Hardwick's attitude toward Mr. Watson is unique. Hardwick was Wat son's candidate for congress the first time Hardwick was elected. The "red' head ed" one brought Hardwick out against the then representative from the Tenth, William H. Fleming, a scholarly and able man. but possessed of the at that time insurmountable objection in Watson’s eyes of residing in the city of Augttsta. Watson "put Hardwick over," and for a long time they were sworn allies. The history of their falling out need not be narrated, as ft is reasonably fa miliar to Georgians generally. It culmi nated in a desperate and entirely unsuc cessful effort upon the part of Watson to oust Hardwick from congress. Watson has said that he will drive Hardwick from congress; Hardwick has said that Watson can not do it. The Holden candidacy offers an oppor tunity for another "show down. and Hardwick is so situated that he can not. if he would which is doubtful ignore it. The Hardwick-Holden-Watson row is on—and it is going to be a hot one, too. Some of those Chicago delegates who feel the need of that sori of thing might go to Baltimore next week and take the rest cure John T. Boifeuillet has just returned from a tour of twelve counties in north Georgia, where he has been looking over the situation senatorial!}'. “I found practically no opposition to Senator Bacon in ail of the counties I fisited. As a matter of fact, few people seemed to know that the senator is sup posed to have opposition.” said Mr. Boifeuillet. "The people generally seem to recog nize Senator Bacon’s long and distin guished public service, and they believe it would be a mistake to remove him now for anybody. His ability is unquestioned; his standing and influence in the senate speak for themselves. He is one of the veterans in point of service and surely no senator lias a larger or fuller measure of bis colleague's respect. "I feel safe in predicting Senator Ba con’s easy and overwhelming re-election Mr. Boifeuillet leaves for a tour of northcast Georgia today. .Mr. I Randolph Anderson, of Sa vannah. should be careful in second ing the nomination of Underwood. not to misquote his distinguished and honorable ancestor. Thomas Jefferson. Everybody else docs. Clark Howell, former speaker of the house and president of the seriate, and now national Democratic committeeman for Georgia, is in Baltimore, where the national committee holds a session Sat urday. Mr. Howell is already at work boosting Underwood's game in the Monumental City, and urging his eminent fitness for the Democratic nomination. “If Underwood were from a state north of the Ohio river—any state—he would be nominated unanimously. The floor leadership of Underwood has done more than anything else to bring the Demo crats in congress together, and he is the logical man to nominate. And the time has come when the logical man should win the nomination, regardless of the section from which lie sails,” Mr. Howell is quoted as having said yesterday. •Incidentally, Mr. Howell is busying him self in Baltimore getting things shaped up for the pleasure and accommodation of the Georgia delegation and visitors, ex pected to arrive In Baltimore Monday morning. While the big row is on in Chi ■ ago. the president goes out and watches the Washington ba chall team do stunts. And where the pres- ident goes, the crowds are almost as crazy as they are in Chicago, too. Congressman Tom Bell recently wired an acquaintance in Georgia that the re port of his retirement from the congres sional race in the Ninth was premature. I Mr. Bell says he has by no means made up his mind not to run. On the contrary, he intimated rather strongly that he likely will get into the mix-up and ask bis con stituents to send him back again, "if for no other reason than to stop the merry war between John Holder and William A. Charters.” Mr. Charters has been very busy of late campaigning, and has mapped out a line of work sure to keep him mighty busy from now until election day. He is a fine speaker, and Is thoroughly well informed as to what is going on in this country politically. John Holder has been every bit as busy on that campaigning job as Charters, too. With Bell In the race again, the out come is extremely problematical. They do not seem to realize, some how. that they’ve gotta quit kicking the colonel's dawg aroun'. It seems generally understood that the commercial travelers of Georgia will back Levi Reeves, of Bartow, for one of the vacancies on the Georgia railroad com mission. Mr. Reeves has not announced his can didacy. but is expected to do so at an early date. BANDITS ROUTED IN ARKANSAS TOWN; 1 KILLED, 2 CAPTURED MAMMOTH SPRING. ARK., June 21. One man was killed and two were cap tured by a sheriff's posse when the three, masked, attempted' to rob the Citizens bank of Mammoth Spring yes terday. All of the men resided near this city. Later in the afternoon Lee Burrow, a relative of Otto Burrow, one of the men arrested, was brought to town with a serious wound in his abdomen. He said that Dr. Jones, father of Ben Jones, tile dead robber, and Howard Sears, a neighbor, shot him because they thought lie had informed the of ficers of the proposed robbery. Dr. Jones and Sears were arrested. Bur row probably will die. Judge J. W. Meek and John Cun ningham were slightly wounded by stray bullets. Sheriff M. C. Caruthers had been forewarned that the robbery was to be attempted and with three deputies was concealed in a back tootn when the men entered.

WOULD HEAD THIRD PARTY TICKET , Colonel Says He Would Accept Such a Nomination if He Is Wanted. / CHICAGO, June 21.—Supplementing Ills early statement, in which he de clared he was in the fight to stay. Theo dore Roosevelt last evening issued a lengthy statement outlining hls posi tion, and stating that if the purged convention desires to nominate him he will accept, or if it is unpurged and part of his friends choose to with draw and nominate him as an inde pendent candidate for president he will accept and fight to the last, win or lose, before the people of all parties in all sections of the United States, After outlining the “fraud” in the seating of delegates, etc., the. colonel concludes: "Unfortunately tn our political life the unscrupulous man who commits wrongs such as these can usually count on having some respectable men sup porting him and other respectable men opposing him, but who cease their op position at the point when it would be come really effective. “In this convention, the unscrupu lous men who are the leaders have al ready received support, from the for mer class of respectable men; and they count on seeing representatives of the latter class, who have hitherto voted against them for fear to take the decisive step of sundering connection with the fraudulent convention itself T decline any longer to be bound by # any action it may take. I decline to regard as binding any nomination it may make. I do not regard success ful fraud and deliberate theft as con stituting a title to party regularity or claim to the support of any honest man of any party. “J hope that the honestly elected ma jority will at once insist upon imme diate purging of the roll in its entire ty and not piece meal, by the conven tion. Would Run Independently, "If this purge is not accomplished 1 hope the honestly elected delegates will decline all further connection with a convention whose action Is now de termined and has hitherto been de termined, by a majority which is made a majority only by the action of the fraudulent delegates whom the con vention has refused to strike from the rolls. If the leaders of the honestly elected majority disagree with tne ir this matter and wish for any cause ty defer for the moment this action, then I most earnestly hope that at least they will Insist upon voting on the cases of these fraudulent delegates en bloc and not separately. "We can not afford to pardon a thief on condition he surrenders half the stolen goods. "If the honestly elected majority of the convention choose to proceed to business and to nominate me as the candidate of the real Republican party 1 shall accept. If some among them fear to take such a stand, and the re mainder choose to inaugurate move ment to nominate me for the presi dency on a. progressive platform anc in such event the general feeling among progressives favors by being nominated. 1 shall accept. In eithet case I shall make my appeal to every honest citizen in the nation, and I '.shall fight the campaign through, win or lose, even if I do not get a single electoral vote. No Promises of Reward. “I do not wish a single man to sup port me from any personal feeling for me. I have nothing to offer any man; any man who supports me will do so without hope of gain and at the risk of personal loss and discomfort. But if, having this in view, those fervent in this great fight for the rule for the people and for soqial and industrial jus tice, which has now also become a clear-cut fight for honesty against dis honesty. fraud and theft, desire me to lead the fight, I will do so. “There can be no cause for which it is better worth while to fight, none in which it is of less consequence what happens to the individual himself, pro vided only that he valiantly does hi, ► duty in the forward movement. I shall make iny appeal to all hon est men. East and West. North and South, and will abide by the result whatever the result may be.
