'"'Heney Gets Into Game.
Francis J. Heney of San Francisco
today and strenuously endeavored to In
ject pepper into the Roosevelt figfit." lie
characterized the condition In Kentucky
as similar to tho former chaotic polit
ical conditions in California and when
he referred to some of the Kentucky po
litical acts as comparable to acts of Abe
Reuf of San Francisco, Mr. Heney drew
a sharp protest from Senator Penrose.
Judge Ed C. O'Rear of Frankfort, who
had charge of the arguments for the
Roosevelt forces frequently admitted that
some of the points advanced were not
very strong, and Senator Borah of the
Roosevelt wing declared he thought the
contestants were not entitled to their
seats. 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. The decision ,,in the
First district however was unanimous.

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.

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.

abandoned owing to the seamen's strike.

French line that the government was
ready to supply seamen to man the ves

Many of the passengers who had
booked on the France have decided to

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."

No lives have been lost here, but many
