The cause of the bolt, was the refu

Taft Delegates Solidified.
The fact is the Tal't delegates have heen

debates and two ballots have had the
magical "--ffect of transforming a house
of cards into a monster of reinforced con
crete. Up to the meeting of the convention it
was felt that those Taft delegates,

Taft lender from Massachusetts, and
Senator Kenvon of Iowa, broke up a con
ference that had lasted between them
selves for nearly three hours. .Senator
Crane said that he and Mr. Kenyon had
met to discuss replaclnc Taft before the
convention with Cummins Hnd that there
was goOd reason to believe that this out
come would settle the controversy now
before the convention.
A conference of other Taft leaders, that
was held in the Congress hotel were
planning to make Hudlev the vice presi

The Tnft-Oummlns conference followed

early last night bv Inspector C. A. Carl
son after a three-days Investigation of
clews that pointed to .facob.son ss the
linder of the lost money. To tbe sur
prise of the police, Jaeohson readily ad
mitted finding the money, but stoutly
refused to turn it over to the officers
except on condition that he should re
ceive $700 as reward John Gulian, who
lost the money, offered Jacobson $100.
hut the offer was spurned. Jacobson
did not have the money on him and r
fused to tell lis hiding place, though
Chief Grant read the law to him relat
ing to such cases and pointed out that
be would be sent to the penitentiary un

" Yon have my terms," replied Tacob
son. ''I will make no others. TCither I
aet $700 of that money or I gt all of
it, even though I have to spend the next
twenty years m the state prison."
"Very well, lock him up," ordered the
chief. yLSfi
Then followed the most Ingenious bit
Of prisoner baiting on record in locil
police annals. Detective Herbert T.eich
tcr was stripped of his gun and badge,
dressed In ragged clntb and thrown
with mock violence Into the cell occu
pied by Johnson. After the detective
bad finished au artistic piece of pro
fanity directed against tho police de

"What they sot you In for?" said
Lelchter.

JacObson told hie story. When he had
