A FIFTY-TWO FOOT SITE
Library Committee Will Try For
Koenigstein Lot as Library Site.
The HI.r . try committee of the Wo-
. .an's club will start nutnt once to
elicit SHOO with which to puvchasi
rom John Koenigstein the twenty
e\en fe"t of propelty at the corner of
Eighth street and Not folk avenue , ad-
o'nlng ' tin5 twenty-live feet vhich he
ins agreed to donate , for a Carnegie
Ibrary site.
Pile library site as at present con-
emplated will be llfty-two feet wide
mil 12S feet In depth , instead of
, eventy-seven feet wide , as was nn-
lounced at the city council meeting
list week.
The discrepancy in the figures is
hie to an unfortunate misunderstand-
ng between the library committee of
he Woman's club and N. A. Rain-
> olt as to the offer which was made
> y Mr. Rainbolt regarding the giving
) f the twenty-live feet Just west of
he Koenigstein corner upon which it
s now planned to place the library.
The committee from the Woman's club
stated to the city council that Mr.
Coenlgstein would give twenty-five
feet and Mr. Rainbolt would give
twenty-live feet , and that the corner
wenty-seven feet could be purchased
from Mr. Koenigstein for $000. Ac
cording to Mr. Rninbolt , however , this
presentation of the matter before the
city council did not coincide with the
intent of his offer. He agreed to give
the twenty-live feet upon certain con
ditions , lie says , which were not met.
Conditions to his offer not having
been met to the satisfaction of Mr.
Rainbolt , the twenty-ilve feet in ques
tion will not be donated , but for the
figure of $ inO ! this twenty-five feet may
be had. The offer to sell this strip at
that price Is made by Mr. Rainbolt , It
is said , unconditionally. Or his en
tire lot of fifty-two feet may be had
for $500.
The library committee of the Wo
man's club will solicit $ IMO ; with
which to purchase the Koenigstein
corner twenty-seven feet , and this
with the added twenty-five feet which
Mr. Koenigstein will donate , will make
Jiffy-two feet which will be turned
over for a library site to the new li
brary board which It is expected Mayor
Sturgeon will appoint nt the next
meeting of the city council , n week
from tonight. If the new board de
sires the additional twenty-live feet ,
they will then take up the matter of
adding $ : i < > 0 to their fund , with which
to make the additional purchase.
Chicago ought to take time enough
off the convention to go upstairs and
wake up the weather man. Ho turned
on the water works four weeks ago
and then went to sleep nt his post.
Perhaps he's died there in Ills tower
all alone. Anyway , it's n serious mat
ter and needs attention.

nooscveit Disclaims nesponftiblllty for
HflorU to Have Covertior Nominated
for Vice President Fairbanks still
Balks on Second Place.
Chicago , ,1une 1s.--The vice presi
dential nomination wan stili unsettled
th morning and It now seems prob-
abb that the matted will be threshed
out tonight In a caucus and the noinln
ntl ( n made Friday.
Chicago , June is. Tbo promulga
tion of n letter irom Vlco President
Fairbanks reiterating his "irrevocable
determination" not to again be n can-
dli. ate for the olllce he now holds , wus
tli. ' most Important development of the
day In coniRu lion with the vice presi
dential nominal ion. The vice presi-
d'Ms letter Is not ditK-i.'iit from va
rious expressions made In n less for
mal manner by him In the past few
days , an. I while It was accepted seri
ously nnd he was ghtn lull credit for
sincerity , H did not have much ef
fect In changing the determination of
his admirers to press his nomination
in the event of naming Secretary Tnft
for the llrst plnco.
Laiuyette Young , delegate at largo
fiom Iowa , received n telegram Irom
t""rctary ! . " b which stated that
PiiMuent lli.osovelt had not expressed
a desne to * eo ( lovenmr Cummins'
h.iiiiion the ticket or that oi any oth-
ei p.irlUular person. Secntaiy IxJeb's
te.cgiam was a response to a telegram
liom Mr.oung , In which the latter
H. . .ed for an explanation of the presi-
i. . at's utlUuuo on the \ku pu-suk'iilial
Humiliation.
Mr. Young , who has heretofore bet n
classed among the opponents of ( ! o\
trnor Cummins , said he would do noth
ing to prevent the hitler's nomination.
The developments of the da > ill. I not
materially alter the vice presidential
situation and the opinion still is thnt
it will go either to Vice President
Fairbanks or Governor Cummins.
New York Eliminated.
Failure of Now York to caucus on
the vice presidential situation Is re
garded as practically eliminating that
state from the contest. New York
was in a , position where , If her delega
tion could get together on the propo
sition , they might have named the
candidate , but they could not got to
gether. Friends of Representative
Sherman seem in a majority in the
delegation , but they seem unable to
make it unanimous. There are some
of the delegates still for Secretary
Cortelyou , others talked of State
Chairman Woodruff , and there was
mentioned in the strictly Hughes portion
tion of the delegation the name of
General Stewart U Woodford , who Is
expected to place the name of Gov-
LUIO.- Hughes betore the convention.
The only possibility of New York's
; ettlng the SCCOLI ! place on the tlcuet
ay in an unanimous muv'umuit for
some man. The last possibility ol
sue Ii unanimity Iris apparently van
ished and Chair. . : ; : . . V.'ooJiuff . .i.
nounced that the delegation would not ,
caucus at all.
The steady tendency was plainly to
ward the selection of a western man
and the names in the forefront are
those of Fairbanks of Indiana and
Cummins of Iowa , with Fairbanks ap
parently in the lead.
The California delegation in execu
tive session decided by unanimous
vote to cast its vote for George A.
Knight of San Francisco for vice
president. Other western states arc
expected to get in line for Mr. Knight.
The Californinns also count upon the
support of a number of s-outh"rn dele
gates for Mr. Knight In return for the
vote of that state in opposition to the
Burke resolution.
CANNON'S VISIT.
Rather An Unusual Incident But It
Braced the Allies.
Chicago , .lime 11. Speaker Cannon
came to town , consulted with his In
timate friends and political managers ,
looked over the speech Harry Ilontell
tis to make putting him in nomina
tion , and went away 'main. The visit
of a presidential candidate to a nom
inating convention Is not usual , but
the call of the speaker did n great
deal of good to the cause of the
"alles , " inasmuch as it put an end to
the talk thnt he was contemplating n
surrender.
Cannon's name will be presented to
the convention In due form nnd his
friends will vote for him on the first
ballot. The same thing will be true
of Fairbanks and Knox. About Hughes
there is some slight doubt , but the
delegates instructed for him will fol
low the directions given to them un
less the governor himself positively
withdraws.
ALICE'S HAT.
Mrs , Longworth Bnlks at Suggestion
That She Take Off Merry Widow.
Chicago , .June IS The old , vexa
tions question of whether or not they
should remove their hats presented
itself again yesterday to the women
who attended the opening session of
the republican national convention.
Most of the women fortunate enough
to obtain tickets of admission to ttie
Coliseum held that it was not neces
sary to bare their heads. Hut that
was before a number of statesmen
had Intimated in whispers which car
ried well that the hats of the women
constituents interfered with their view
of the proceedings.

AVhen yon gel nnested , don't give
the fictitious name of "Jones" at police
court In an effort to conceal your
Identity. II doesn't pay. There is npt
to be n leal Jones around the corner
to bob and conten
up disprove- your
tion. Tills Is what has happened
In Hie case of Iheouiiic man who was
iirrcMed in this c'iy ' last week , dur
ing the carnival , charged with In
suiting a young woman on Norfolk
avenue. The young man gave the
name in police court of "W. Jones. "
He gave this name because It was
not his name. He paid n line of $2
and costs , assessed by Police Judge
Klseley. Then1 Is a real Jones living
in Norfolk. His initials are "W. R. "
He Is n well known commercial
traveler , one of the substantial com
mercial travelers of the community ,
owning his own home on Norfolk
avenue. Mr. Jones has just returned
from a trip. When he came to town
he was confronted by his friends with
the report of the police court episode.
Then he became Interested ? He
loiind that the man who assumed the
Jones name was in reality A. A. After ,
who travels for an adding machine
company. All of which goes to show-
that when you get arrested , and want
to lie about your name , you ought to
choose some uncommon cognomen
which Insn't apt to strike home to
anybody else in the vicinity.
