CHICAGO, June 8.-Forty-eight was
tiie total number of delegates to the re
publican national convention turned Into
the Taft column today by the national
committee's decisions on contests from
Arkansas, Florida and Georgia.
The Roosevelt contestants lost every
case, as they did yesterday. Ten of the
Georgia districts-rtwenty delegates went
to Taft in one blanket decision, both
' sides agreeing to their being decided upon
the same arguments as had served In
the case of the four delegates-at-largo,
which had just been given to Taft The
two remaining Georgia districts soon
went the same way, ' :.
With the" twenty-four delegates, sixteen
from Alabama and eight from Arkansas,
placed'orl the temporary roll of the con
vention as the result of yesterday's
hearings, today's work runs up the total
to seventy-two added to the Taft, 1st
since the national committee convened
Uist Thursday afternoon.
The cases passed upon oday were these:
Arkansas-Third, Fourth, Fifth and
Seventh congressional districts, two del
egates each: eight in all. The Sixth dis
trict was not contested. The delegates
are listed as "uninstructed."
Klorida-The six delegates-at-large aafl
entire state representation; twelve i all.
Georgia Tho four delegates-at-large
and all of the twelve congressional dis
tricts each with its two delegates
twenty-eight in all.
This clears the docket for the taking
u i early next week of the cases upon
which Roosevelt people are laying far
more stress than upon those from the
south, such cases, for example, as those
from Indiana, which prabably will be
taken up when the committee convenes
Monday morning.
There still resiaiii, in alphabetical
oiilcr, the casts ot the six delegates-at-largc

may be taken up Monday, or may go

Those Heard by Republican National Committee Saturday Evi
dently Inspired by the Desire to Defeat Regularly
Elected Delegates to the Convention,
BY VICTOR
Editor of The Bee. and Chairman
CHICAGO, June 8. (Special Telegram.)
Another strenuous session of the na
tional committee, lasting against nearly
eight hours, disposed of contests involv
ing forty-six seats today, with little ex
citement, and eliciting little difference of
opinion among the committeemen. These
contests came from -the states of Arkan
sas, Florida arid Georgia, and uniformly
disclosed that they had been framed up
by outside inspiration, and through devi
ous ways to discredit the regular or
ganizations and dispute the titles of regu
larly elected delegations. There were roll
calls whenever demanded, but the demand
was not made in all instances, and taken
altogether the committee made fast work.
The noticeable feature of the contests
presented and decided today, so far as
places on the temporary roll are con
cerned, was the utter lack of valid claim
on the part of the rejected contestees, all
of whom Were championed by the contest
attorneys employed to represent the
Kooseveit ena 01 tne game. 11 is wen
known that there are more than a dozen
members ot the committee who strongly
favor the Roosevelt candidacy, who stand
ready to' go to. the front for everything
that will promote his Interests, but not
once did they make an earnest effort to
seat the Roosevelt claimants:
The best they asked was in one case,
where a notion was offered to seat two
delegations and divide the wie, while in
another, where two Roosevelt delega
tions were competing against one Taft
delegation to represent . Florida, it was
proposed to exclude them all. Needless
to say the committee did not see its way
clear to disfranchise the republicans of
a whole state, or district, merely be
cause some technical objections had been
raised after the fact. ,
The committee is learning a great deal
about politics as it is run down south,

LINCOLN, Neb., June S.-(SpeciaJ Tel
egramsThe Commonwealth Tower com
pany filed articles of incorporation with
the secretary of state this afternoon with
a capital stock of $7,500,000 fully paid up.
It took a fee of J3.751.25 to get its articles
filed.
The stock Is divided into 12,500.000 of
preferred stock and $3,000,000 of common
stock. The articles of Incorporation show
that the corporation expects to do a gen
eral business in acquiring and developing
waterpower for heating and lighting pur
poses and water for Irrigation. Head
quarters ofthe company will be in Lin
coln, but the power will be secured fror.i
the Lcjp river abavc Columbus. This
is the power site which is in controversy
before the supreme court and is known
as the Koenlg company. The new in
corporators are: W. E. Sharp, 'A. E.
Koenig, E. J. Hainer, J. M. Bramlctte.
C. T. Boggs. Allen W. Field and San
ford W. Ladd. W. E. 8harp is president;
Sanford W. Ladd, vice president; S. H.
Burnham, treasurer, and E. J. Hainer,
secretary.
The law requires a public service cor
poration to get the consent of the rail
way commission before it can file its
articles of incorporation. There is no
record of any such permission being given
by the commission, although It is claimed
that a corporation organized for Irriga
tion business comes under the head of a
public service corporation.

Republican National Committee.
where republicans are comparatively
scarce, and federal patronage is the
chief Inspiration to activ ity, where party
organizations are kept up largely, for
quadrennial demonstrations, and where
contests are. so farsightedly anticipated
that stenographic reports and records
are kept of anything said and dole at
every committee meeting, and at every
convention, and then written out and
sworn to.
If the industry of the committee does
not lag and its proceedings are not In
terrupted, it will get through the ac
cumulated mass of contest cases in due
time, notwithstanding all apprehensions
that the day of the convention will ar
rive before completion. I notice that the
Roosevelt attorneys who are making ap
pearances and noting requests refused to
go into the record, for the purpose evi
dently of being prepared to try again
before the credentials committer J am
surely within the lines of safety In say
ing that if all the cases are to be re
opened and re-argued after the conven
tion Is called to order, and gone through
again with any degree of care, the con
vention will be slow In getting started
and may be unusually protracted. Out
side of the committee much skirmishing
is going on between the political gen
erals. For what It is worth, 1 give an esti
mate ,that comes from one of the highest
Roosevelt sources, conceding Taft 521
delegates, and counting only 611 for
Roosevelt, thus placing the balance of
power, and determining factor, in the
forty-six votes held by La Follette and
Cummins. The Taft people, of course, do
not concede anything of the kind, but
regard this as a retreat by the colonel's
people from their former high and lofty
claims.

traffic as a result of the strike of sev

tions on all surface, elevated and tunnel

trols nearly all the electric lines within
a radius of five miles, said that 90 pe- j
win oi me average numner ot Cars were

the cars were being operated practically
on uehedule time,

tho Amalgamated Association of Street
Railway Employes and the leader of ths
strike, said that more than 4,000 employee j
were on strike and that only a sma'l i
fraction cf the usual number of cars
were in operation.
