CHICAGO June U.-The seating of a Roosevelt delegate in the Eleventh Kentucky district late today was the first gain to the Roosevelt Column awarded by the republican national committee since it began hearing con' testa last Friday.

Judge Ed C.

Though some of the members of the committee asked for more time to consider the evidence, a roll call de manded by the Taft leaders resulted in seating the regular delegates at large by a vote of 3S to 11.

L. A. WELSH, Local Forecaster. Time Limit Fixed for Contents Committee Realises That it Must Check Tendency Towards Long Debates Training School for Committeemen Under Headway Some Incidents. BY VICTOR Editor of The Bee and Chalrma CHICAGO. June 11 (Special Telegram.) The grind of the national committer on the great accumulation of contests for delegate seats keeps right on, al though It is making slower progress than It ought to be finished by the end of the week. The reason for the slowness has been the ready disposition of the committer to grant extension of time, and to count out time used in interruption or answer ing questions whenever the presentation of the cases overruns the limit fixed by the rules. The reason for this, whicn has been freely and openly admitted, is to forstall charges on the part of un seated contestants that they had not been fully heard, or that- any of the facts necessary to a fair decision have been arbitrarily excluded. Notice was given today, however, that from now on ths time limits would be more strictly en forced, and further notice that a motion would be offereu tomorrow for night ses sions of the committee in order to get along with the contests and make up for delays. Incidentally the tactics of the commit teemen 'who ar co-operating with the Roosevelt end of th econtests to assist In the presentation of the cases, was brought out more clearly. An exception to the rule fixing the time limits has been permitted by allowing the members of the committee to propound questions by unanimous consent, and the battery of cross-questioners has been brought into action whenever the point seemed to indicate their need, so that if the strength of the cases is not developed it is only because such great lawyers as Borah and Kellogg cannot develop it. The session today also disclosed the factt hat the reference of Senator Borah to me as "schoolmaster," had something more in it trjan mere pleasantry. The Roosevelt people, like the Taft people, have a number of committeemen classed Former Elgin Banker is Under Arrest in California CHICAGO, June 11. Louis N. Seaman, fosmer cashier of the Elgin National bank of Elgin, 111., was arrested today In Los Angeles on a warrant charging em bezzlement and misapplication of the bank's funds. The arrest was the result of alleged discrepancies in the accounts of the bank discovered more than a year ago by the national bank examiners. , The money unaccounted for by the ex aminers' report approximated $100,000. The losses were promptly made ood by the directors of the institution and govern ment agents were called in. Seaman left the employ of the bank more than a year ago and avfew months ago entered the real estate business In Los Angeles. The government agents say that Sea man Invested - and lost large sums oi money In a Chicago concern in which he was interested and that his efforts to make it a paying venture were costly to the bank. The specific allegations in the charge against him are that he procured money from the bank on worthless drafts. One of the alleged worthless drafts was drawn against the city treasorer of South Bend, Ind., for $9,000. Seaman is to be given a preliminary hearing before a United States commis sioner, June 18, in Los Angeles. Mississippi Floods Are Again Menacing Lives in Louisiana NEW ORLEANS, La., June ll.-Water from the great Hymella crevasse, the worst of the Misslsssippl river floods, again is menacing lives of Inhabitants of the Des Allemands section of Louisiana, in answer to appeals from army of ficers engaged in relief work, a special train was hurried to the Des Allemands section late yesterday, refugees taken out of the danger zone and food supply dis tributed. Water is four feet deep over the greatt.r part of the La Fourehe section and Is going higher. Supplies also are being sent there. Since government engineers gave up the attempt to close the Hymelia break the breach constantly his widened and flood water has daily extended Into country not before damaged. Although the river gauge is more than four feet below that at the crest of the flood the ! mile-wide breach furnishes plenty of op portunity for water to cover a large area. The only chance of the flood waltr getting back to the regular channel seems to be for the river to fall below the level of this low country. Congressman Wyckliff is Killed by Railroad Train WASHINGTON, June ll.-Representa-tive Robert C. Wyckliff of Louisiana was run down on the tracks of the Southern railway ln Potomac park today and in stantly killed. He had left the capltol yesterday to be away today on a fishing trip. News of his death traveled fast, but did not reach Mrs. Wyckliff before she had started for the 'capltol,-as was her dally custom, to watch the proceedings in the house. The house already was about to adjourn out of respect to the ; memory of Mr. Wyckliff when several members happened to see his wife In the gallery. There was a hurried conference. Representatives Estopinal of Louisiana and Cullop of Indiana made their way quietly to. where Mrs. Wyckliff was sitting and Invited her down stairs to Speaker Clark's office. There, as gentlv us they could, they broke the news to her. Mrs. Wyckliff fainted. ROSEWATEH. n Republican National Committee. as thick and thin, going so far as to per mit the use of their proxies whenever It is thought desirable. The Roosevelt peo ple are passing these proxies among ad herents who are interested in contest cases to come up later. Lawyer Heney of San P'ranelsei, for example, showed up this morning as the substitute for the member from South Dakota, breaking Into the proceedings without even first reading the rules. He persisted in explaining his vote soveia' times with a stump speech, and whs immediately, I believe, by all set down on as a first-class grandstander. Tae California case in which Mr. Heney is scheduled to appear as counsel is on call for tomorrow. A little later Gover nor Hadley of Missouri made his appear ance on a proxy crediting him to the District of Columbia. Governor Hadley heads one of the delegatlons-at-large in volved in the Missouri contests, which will be heaid in a day or two. I met the governor out in the libby when "e asked if there, would be any impropriety under the circumstances In him taking part on a proxy now in order to see how the commute conducted Its proceedings, and familJ irize himself with the methods' resorted to in other cases. I told him I saw no reason why he should not take lessons that way if he wanted to and I have no doubt that his explanation likewise fits the case of Mr. Heney. The committee today also established the precedent against doubling up dele gations by electing more delegates than provided by the call with a proportional splitting of the vote. Where states or districts in this manner have attempted to enlarge the membership of the con vention and get extra tickets, they will be required to reduct the number by say ing which ones should serve. When the point was explained by Secretary nay-1 ward, the committee immediately saw where this multiplication would lead to, and put down the bars at once. Steamer France Abandons Trip Because of Strike HAVRE, June ll.-The sailing of the French liner France has been definitely abandoned owing to the seamen's strike. Theophlle Delcasse, the minister of marine, after a conference with his col leagues in the ministry Informed the French line that the government was ready to supply seamen to man the ves sel. However, as the gathering- of these men from the various Prencl. ports wilj require several days, their arrival here will be too late to permit the France to carry out Its scheduled trtrt Many of the passengers who had booked on the France have decided to proceed to Cherbourg and take the Majestic or the. Kaiser Wlllielm II. PARIS, June U.-The management of the French trans-Atlantic line issued a statement today declaring: that the strikers left the France after demanding an immediate increase of wages despite the fact that their wages had been raised only a fortnight ago. The statement con tinues: "The men's demands are connected solely with wages. They have made no complaint In reference to lifeboats, life saving appliances or food." Alaska Villages - Covered With Foot of Ashes KODIAK, Alaska, June 9.-(Via Tug in Seward, June 11.) Kodiak and Woodv Island villages are burled under a foot of ashes as a result of the eruption of Katamai volcano beginning Thursday afternoon and lasting forty-eight hours. No lives have been lost here, but many other settlements near the volcano must have suffered Indescribably. The revenue cutter Manning was In port here when the eruption began and furnished refuge for all inhabitants of the town. 500 men, women and children, doubtless saving many lives. The Man ning is now serving distilled water and government rations to the destitute peo- I pie. the water supply having been pol- luted und springs filled with ashes. FAIRBANKS, Ala., June 11.
