Neither Taft Nor Roosevelt Sure of Enough Votes to Win
TWO VIRGINIANS
FOR ROOSEVELT
Delegates From Fifth District
Strenuous in Their Support
of Third-Termer.
ORGANIZATION EFFECTED
Only Binding Instructions Keep
ing Several in Line for
Taft.
[Spcc'al to The Tlmes-Dlspatrh.l
Chicago. 111., June 17.?tfho Virginia
delegates to the Republ'can National
Convention met In the headquarters in
the Auditorium at 10 o'clock this
morning and organized by electing thu
following: a. H. Martin, national
committee-man; Joseph L Crupper, of
Alexandria, member of the committee
on permanent organization; L. P.
Kummen, of Abln^don, member of the
committee on credentials; It. H. Angell,
of Roanoke, member of the committee
on rules; D. Lawrence Groner. of Nor?
folk, member of the committee on
resolutions.
The delegation Is of the standpat
type, and will vote solidly, with the
exceptio? of two delegates from the
Fifth District, for Senator Root for
temporary chairman and Taft for
President. The report that the two
delegates from the Fifth District will
leave the Taft movement and go over
to the ranks of the followers of "T.
R." was pronounced 'by several mem?
bers of the delegation as without any
foundation.
However. It Is generally believed
that only the binding instructions un?
der Which the delegates were elected
hold some of them In line. The two
members from the mountain district
are strong Roosevelt partisans, and
they are so strenuous In thclc sup?
port of the Colonel that they make
the welkin ring (whatever that Is)
when they appear to sound the praises
of "T. R."
The members of the delegation all
arrived last night or this morning,
und the meeting at headquarters Wala
fully represented by Virginia Repub?
licans. In the afternoon Dr. Hugh
' f'alvln Smith, who was pastor of a
Presbyterisn church In Petersburg
twenty-seven years, tailed at head?
quarters to renew his allegiance to
the Old Dominion. He Is now en?
gaged In university work. Several
members of the delegation attended
the ball game between the White Sox
and Boston Red Sox this afternoon.

foreman of the Virginia and South?
western tool car, was struck by a

Roosevelt delegates called .together I
after 11 o'clock, a 1.000-wexd protest]
was wired to President Taft against ,
the "announced Intention of Victor I
(Rosewater, chairman of the national
committee, to allow thi> -contested dele?
gates to vote on their own cases."
Mr. Taft Is asked to use tV weight
of his Influence In this crisis to -pre?
vent such action by Mr. RosewaU-r.
It Is clalmf-d the protest-ants that
?'tbW? nre la-bout scsv /rjty-flve dele?
gates whose seats are seriously In
question, and who are generally re?
garded as not honestly entitled to vote
In the convention. It Is urged as
contrary' to Justice and -to 'parliamen?
tary Taw that these contested delegates
should vote on rh?/ own cases. They
will, In effect, so vots If they vote on
the temporary organization of the
Convention.

TESTS STANDING
OF STATE MILITIA
Officers Want Show-Down of
Employers Who Discourage
Camp Duty.
PROSECUTIONS MAY RESUIT
New Law to Be Invoked to
Punish Interference With
Citizen Soldiery.
I For the purpose of settling, suffl
I clently far In advance, the question
I as to whether or not tfcerc will he
j trouble this year In iccurlng leave of
j u life nee of members of the militia
j to attend the encamprnent at .Ml.
j Uretno. Va., '.? yjt ? of inquiry are
I being sent out to various corporations.
! So far, the responses have been in
i tlrely friendly, and have proved grat
. ifylng to the military uu>.oraics.
The Richmond, Frc-d'--rickht?urg and
Potomac Railroad, the Norfolk and
Weatern Hallway and tho Richmond
: Cedar Works have sent replies to a
J letter of Adjutant-Ueneral W. W. niuie,
? unreservedly promising to give their
employes time to attend encrfmptnents
or any other military duty on which
! they may be ordered. Each of these
I three corporations acknowledges the
? necessity of a military establishment,
and expresses hearty co-operation
? with the State In the efforts tu build
I it up and make It efficient in times
: of need. To this end, the compan'-es
want their men to get all available
training.
Await Other Replies.
Letters et-nt to the Chesapeake an"
Ohio Railway, the Richmond Ucomo- '
I live Works, the Southern Railway and '
I other corporations have not yet been
unswered.
To further aid in the work of bring?
ing about a better understanding, the
cap tains of tho First Battalion, First
! Regiment, have been directed by Major 1
I U T. Price to confer with their ..ten re- '
Karding the method of approach for
t leaves of absence, based on the rc
bponses received from employers, jo
that there may be no friction and no
collusion. It is hoped in this way that
no man in tho battalion may be pre?
vented from doing duty at th?; Joint
manoeuvre camp of next month Ijc-cautc
of refusal on the part of his employer
to give- him leave.
Mnjr Try Prosecution.
Should, however, there be such re?
fusal. It is quite probable thit the mat
t? : will be tested In the courts. A sec?
tion of the new military law, r>s parsed
by the last Legislature, may or may not
apply to such n situation, and may be
invoked ao as to bring about a prose?
cution of an employer who deprives men
of their positions because of their mem?
bership In the Virginia Volunteers.
There Is some doubt of the direct
explication of this section, which went
into effect last Friday. It seems to bo
not quite plain. Some officers believe
that It bears on tho subject, wnlle oth?
ers say that while It might do 6o. it
was perhaps not so Intended. It reads
(Section 165-a of the act providing for
the public defenae) as follows:
"Interference With employment of
officers and enlisted men of the Virginia
Volunteers.?A person -who, cither by
himself or with another, wilfully de?
prives a member of the Virginia Vcl
unteers of his employmont or prevents,
by himself or another, such member be- .
ing employed, or obstructs or annoys ?
said member of the Virginia Volunteers \
or his employer In his trade, business !
or employment because sold member of <
said Virginia Volunteers is such mem?
ber, or dissuades any person from en?
listment in said Virginia Volunteers by
threat or injury to him- in his employ?
ment, trade <>r business. In case he shall
so enlist, shall be guilty <>f a misde?
meanor, and on conviction thereof shall
be fined in a sum not exceeding JHiQ or
Imprisonment In the county Jail not
more than thirty days, or shall suffer
both fine and Imprisonment."
The subject Of a conflict betweon mil?
itary duty and the immediate Interests
of employers Is an old one In this
State. Court-martials In recent years
have brought out statements on tiio
part of enlisted men that their employ?
ers refused to let them oft for camp
duty and that they were afraid to go
for fear of losing their positions. Trou?
ble in enforcing tho law" woiljld. of
course, be the difficulty of proving that
the discharge was because of military
engagements. An employer may easily
assign other rcaaons. But some offi?
cers are talking of forcing their men,
under arrest, to go to camp this year,
regardless of the wishes of thei?- em?
ployers, to make a test of the situa?
tion once and for all.
BRIBERY CHARGED
IN AFFIDAVITS
Three Negroes Swear That
Roosevelt People Have Tried
to Buy Them.
Chicago, June 17.?Three affidavits
charging bribery by the Roosevelt
forces, two of them accusing Charles
Banks, the negro delegate from Mis?
sissippi, who several days ago desert?
ed the Taft standard to join the
Roosevelt forces, with using money,
were made public at the Taft hca'd
quarters hero to-night. The affidavits
were executed by the Rev. James W.
Shumpert. A. Buckley, delegates, and
D. W, Sherrod, alternate, from Mis?
sissippi. All three aro negroes. The
affidavit of Shumpert charges that
Banks showed him a big roll of bills
and asked him how much he would
want to disregard his Instructions of
Taft and vote for Roosevelt. Shum?
pert satel he refused to be bought.
Buckley's affidavit set forth that
Banks had offered h'm $300 In instal?
ments of $100 to desert the Tnft
forces. Buckley also refused. The
affidavit of Sherrod charged that ho
had been approached on two separate
occasions by Dr. J. S. Rodman, of
Jackson, Miss., and by Ed. Bond, of
Canton, Miss., and offered money It
he would use his Influence to shift
B-^kley's vote from Tnft to Roosevelt.
Shumpert Is presiding ? elder In tho
Meridian. Miss., Methodist Episcopal
Church conference, and a delegate
.from the First D'Strlct, of Mississippi.
E *
Attorney-General So Notified,
and Suit Will Be Held
in Abeyance.
Washington. Juno 17.?Attorney
General Wlckersham was advised to?
day that the National racking Com
ipuny would ho voluntarily dissolved
by the beef packers by August 1. In
view of ti.iB action Mr. Wlckersham
announced that thia government would
hold in abeyance the civil suit which |
It proposed to bring against the com
puny 10 compel Its disintegration.
Mr. Wlckersham waa notified of the
beef tiut's Intention to dlssoivc by
James A. Fowler, assistant to the
Attorney-General, who returned to
Washington to-day from Chicago,
where lie conferred with United Stales
Attorney Wilkorson. This move fol?
lows several governmental attacks
upon the trust. The- House Judiciary
Committee a few days ago decided to
Investigate the Industry. As soon as
the peckers were acquitted. In their
recent trial at Chicago, of criminal
i violation of the Sherman law, the
Attorney-General turned his attention
l towards a civil suit for the dlssolu
I lion of the National Packing Company,
j through which it was charged the
i packets acted in concert. A previous
?similar suit was dismissed by the gov
j ernment during the pendency of the
j criminal proceedings.
I About a month ago Mr. Wlckersham
! was Informed that the packers pro?
pose-; voluntary steps In the nature
of disintegration.
To rive the meat interests time to
; m-?et the issue In a friendly way, the
j Attorney-General arrested the Illing
! of the contemplated petition In equity.
I The Department of Justice Informed
\ the parking company a week ago,
I however, that it was time dcllnitely to
display Its intentions.
The result was to-day's announce?
ment.
The National Packing Company Is a
S1S,000,000 corporation, owning some
of the largest packing companies In
the world. As it is owned by the big
Armour. Swift and Morris interest!-,
uccordlng to the government's con
tent'ons. the company is the agency
tor controlling the meat Industry.
COEDUCATION^NO MORE |
Wealeyan University Grnduates Lost
CIiisbj of Voung Women.
Middlctown. Conn.. June 17.?The
passing t>; coeducation at Wcslt-yan
University is made notable by the fact
that every young woman in the grad
uatlni- class this year, which la to be
the last class of women to receive
diplomas from the university, has been
awarded honorary membership in the
high scholarship society of Phi Belt
Kappa. Only a small proportion of
the men received this honor.
One of the arguments which the
male- students have advanced against
coeducation, which becomes extinct at
Wi sleyan this year, is that the youi.K
women have taken scholarship honors
which otherwise would have- gone to
men. ' ,

OFFICIALS THINK
BEVOLT IS ENDED
Capture of Lacoste and Death o|
Estenoz Reported to
Wasliington.
NO ATTACKS AT EL COBRE
Unless New Outbreaks Occurs
Warships May Be Ordered
Home.
Washington, Juno 17.?With th?
confirmation of tho report of the death
of General Estenoz and the capture o?
Ueheral Lacoste, both of which eventa
took place near Guantanamo, State
Department officials to-night consid?
ered that the Cuban revolt was prac-?
i tlcalty at an end.
L'nlcss new outbreaks are reported!
within the next four or five days the*
warships now at Havana and Guan?
tanamo will be ordered home and th?>
marines removed from the island.
No Attacks im Kl (obre.
Although tiie time limit allowed bj?
I the Cuban rebel leader, Julio Anto
I manch), for all foreignecs ta abandon
their homes in the neighborhood of.
El Cobre expired last night, tbej
?tato Department early to-day had
no report o.' any attleks. American
Consul Holliday has reported that
most of the territory In question has
been depopulated as a result of tho
proclamation, and thcro is little op?
portunity toj the negro leader to exe*
cuto his thveat.
The date set for the attack upon
foreigners coincides with other move?
ments of the same kind which have
come to the knowledge of the gov?
ernment here.
However, In view of the fact thaC
the Cuban general in command in
O-rlente has distributed p. force of'
about 500 guerrillas and soldiers In
i tae danger zone, t h..e nearly 200
American marines are entrenched at
: El Cobre and vicinity, it Is believed
I that the danger to ilfe at leant has
been greatly reduced. It is possible,'
of course, that a good deal of datn
ago might be Inllicted upon loreign
properties by the torch in Isolated
cano ftcPJ/i and plantations, but to?
day no report of destruction of such
property had been received here, and
ofllcials were Inclined to beltcvo tho
proclamation was bombast.
U. S. Attitude t "u'lmuucd.
Tho government remains Immovable)
! In Its decision to rofr-.n from tnter
I ventlun In Cuba so *ong cs there is
a (reasonable prospect of (the bup
! presslon of the Insurrection by the
: Gomez government. It Is felt that the?
I blow dealt to tho Insurrection by tna
j capture of one prominent general hast
' greatly increased the prospects of an
' early resumption of control over the?
I whole province of Or'ente by the gov-v
ernment forces.
Secretary Knox, '. earl" of being
I called upon every day, by the pub
! llcatlon of rumors to reltemte his de?
termination to refrain from Interven?
tion Under present conditions, will
make no further statements on the)
subject unless there Is a change, in
Cuba.

"In view of tho lust happenings It

render of Eugenlo Lacoste, tho leader
of the insurgents In the Guantanamo
district, lias had a most Important ef?
fect. He was considered here the real
chief of the rebels. Numerous sur?
renders continue dally.
'?It will be necessary to hold tho
greater part of the government troops
hero In small detachments under lieu?
tenants and sergeants to pacify tho.:
province of Oriente."

this morning tho government would
soon bo able to arrange for the re?
