CHICAGO, June 4. Theodore Roose
velt's determination to renew the fight
on Senator Root for temporary chair
man and to bend every effort to his
defeat when the republican national con
vention is opened June 18, caused gen
eral unrest today among the republican
leaders and national committeemen who
j-jve already reached Chicago for the
pre-eonventlon work.
It was apparent that the Roosevelt
leaders in the west had expected no
fight against Senator Root's appoint
ment, but Alexander H. Revell and Ed
ward W. Sims declared themselves today
in a hearty accord with Colonel Roose
velt. Victor Rosewater of Omaha, acting
chairman of the national committee, who
arrived today, said the action of the sub
committee on arrangements in picking
Senator Root for the temporary chair
manship was final, unless some member
of the national committee demanded that
it be reviewed by the full committee.
Will Uo to Convention.
It is said that an active Roosevelt man
on the national committee may bring
up for review In the full committee meet
ing the appointment of Root; but the
committee, it is thought, will sustain
Chairman New and his subcommittee,
throwing the fight on the floor of the
convention.
Open hearings of the contest cases,
which are to be taken up by the national
Committee FrfdaV, la apparently assured,
Acting Chairman Roaewater la himself
favorable to such action, atnoa President
Taft and Colonel Roosevelt have both
asked for It. '
Mr. Rosewater, commenting On the at
tempt of R. B. Howell ot Omaha, to
take an immediate seat on the national
republican committee, said:
"1 regard It as an attempt by Mr.
Howell to divert the attention of the
committee from the real subjects which
should occupy it. I do not consider it
of any consequence."
The inability of S. A. Perkins, repub
lican national committeeman from the
state of Washington, to be present be
cause of an accident has raised the pro
bability today that William Barnes, jr..
New York, my hold a proxy in the com
mittee ami marshal the Taft forces to
the fight in that body before the na
tional convention. William L. Ward, com
mitteeman from New York, will lead the
Roosevelt forces.

Chicago Newspaper Reporters, Photographers and Others Busy
with Gossip Roosevelt Men Not Bothering About
Howell Demand for Seats.
BY VICTOR
Editor of The Bee and Acting Chairman Republican National Committee.
CHICAGO, June 4. (Special Telegram.)
I arrived here this morning and received
a warm welcome from a small army of
newspaper correspondents, reporters and
photographers who seeed to be acting v.
concert to make victims of every unwary
visitor suspected of having anything to
do with the presidential content or 'hi;
coming national convention. They seemed
to think that I might be bringing along
with me from Nebraska some informa
tion they had not been able to wor out
of others, but I think I got more news
out of them than they did out of me
The advance guard of the national com
mittee already here is still small, but by
tomorrow it is expected more of the
members will be In ana all on hand for
the meeting Thursday. The political
sentinels for the opposing candidates are
standing firm by their arms, the Taft
men having their confidence strengthened
by the addition of the six delegates-at-large
from Ohio to the Taft column and
the Roosevelt folks taking Inspiration
fro the rtported conversion of two dele-gates-at-large.
I have talked with ajl of the commit
teemen here, those favoring Roosevelt
as well as those favoring Taft, but I
fall to find any one who takes stock In
the fantastic theory that I had ceased to
be a member of the committee. Even
my old friend, Ormsby McHarg, who Is
regarded as the Roosevelt chlef-of-staff,
hailed me as 'Mr. Chairman," right in
front of a lot of other people Just as if
oblivious that he was thereby failing to
recognize the claims of the pretender
from Nebraska.
Public interest is focused Just now
on the contest cases, and it is quite
possible, I may even say probable, that
the public will be admitted to the hear
ings through the press correspondents as
their representatives. Some plan to this
end is apparently acceptable to all con-
Ruling is Made on
Rates on Live Stock
from the Southwest
WASHINGTON. June 4.-Rallrqads
operating in the southwest today were
ordered by the Interstate ' Commerce
commission to establish for the trans
portation of the packing house products
and fresh meats In carload rates, which
shall not exceed the following per 100
pounds:
From, Oklahoma to Kansas City, 17
cents on packing house products and 2t
eenta on fresh meats; from Fort Worth,
Tex., to Kansas City, 21 cents on paoking
house products, and 82H cents on fresh
meats. '' ' ;
The commission declined to ratify the
mileage scale of rates it prescribed for
the transportation of live stock from
various southwestern points to packing
houses. It fecund:
That rates on stock cattle should not
exceeed 75 per cent of the rates on beef
cattle; that the rates on live stock into
Oklahoma City and from that point to
Kansas City should be higher than the
rates to Kansas City direct.
That the commission cannot compel
the roads to make the same rates from
Texas points to Oklahoma City as they
have in effect from Texas points to
Fort Worth.
That the rates on packing house
products and fresh meat from , Kansas
City and Wichita should not exceed by
more than 2Vt cents per 100 pounds the
rates from Oklahoma City to destinations
in Georgia, Alabama, Florida and other
points in th esoutheastern territory.
That the railroads should establish a
peddler car service for the distribution
of packing house products and fresh
meats in the southern territory, the rates
for which should not exceed 130 per cent
o fthe carload rates on packing house
products and 150 per cent of the carload
rates on fresh meats.
Battleship Arkansas
Badly Dented by Reef u
WASHINGTON. June 4. Information j Harmon for president and give him a
that the new dreadnaught Arkansas 1ms i complimentary vote at Baltimore, hut do
met with an accident on its trial trip!11"1 want to be tied up with Instruc
off the Maine coa.Rt haa reaehprl tho Varir i
department.
A report to the Navy de
partment says the "skin" of the ship was
not say how the accident occurred.
Later advices to the navy department
seem to indicate that tlie Arkansas had
two mishaps, the first one Sunday. It j
is reported to have gone aground in tlie i
Two Bush channel then, but apparently 1
got oir ana was proceeding early to-
day when it ran on the ledge of rock.
The fact that the Arkansas began its
official trial today as scheduled tended
to discredit reports of serious Injury.

cerned, but, 6f course, there will have to
be restrictions because the committee
room is not very large, and the work of
the committee must not be impeded. The
fact is, the contest hearings have never
savored of star-chamber proceeding for
the contestants have always been ad
mitted during the procedure, the repre
sentatives retiring at the conclusion to
permit thes. committee to reach a deci
sion, and in the executive sessions, too.
with no injunction of secrecy, and mem
bers present favoring all the different
presidential candidates nothing could -be
said or done that the reporters could
not get hold of.
When the committee met in Washing
ton last December, It for the first time
transacted all Its business with open
doors, the suggestion being thflt the re
porters could not then drawl so much
upon their imaginations, and the tame
reason will apply now if the committee
decides to open the doors wider than it
has been.
From my colleagues I learn that the
scramble for convention tickets is Just as
strong, if not stronger, in other states
than it is in Nebraska, where I thought
the limit had been reached. I want to
say again that anyone who succeeds In
getting a look at one session of the con
vention wants to consider himself spe
cially favored and get out of his head
at once any notion that season ticket to
all sessions are to be available.
Incident to the ticket question. I have
been advised by my fellow Nebraskan.
William J. Bryan, that he is to occupy
one of the six seats in the press section
reserved for the New York World. That
he Is struck by the humor of the situa
tion Is evidenced by this question, which
he adds as a postscript:
"By the way, suppose you have two
republican conventions, to whom shall -i
apply for admission to the second?"
