i
Chicago, June 14.?Apparently !r- '
reconcilability of difference* between '
Taft and Roosevelt leaders in tbe '
Republican * party borne on a rising ,
tide of charges of bribery, theft and
other accusations bare threatened to
percipltate decisive developments before
the opening of the national convention
next Tuesday.
The charges Of corruption were
made in a statement Issued by DiI
rector McKinley of the Taft bureau
which directly accuses the Roosevelt
managers of sn effort to capture the
convention by force.
Prominent men on both sides admitted
the situation had become so I
liappen within the next few days.
Among possibilities^dtlaussed in conference,
rooms, hotel corridors and
party headquarters were two that
continued to come up again and
V again.?
The first of these sraa the poeatblls
lty of a bolt by the Roosevelt forces
and the organisation of a "progressive
party If President Toft is to be
renominated. The bolt talk was ever
present and once in a meeting of
Roosevelt leaders rose to a point
where William Flynn, of Pittsburg.
'' who waa presiding, refused to let It
go forth.
The second possibility and this
seemed to hold the eenter of the
stage was that of a compromise on
a third candidate A number of the
3r?ladders declared that now 4t was pos'
itlrh^jTT>sytmd ~%betKm fw expect
4 either the Taft or Roosevelt people
to abide by the aomlnatlon of the
others candidate
The situation was crystalized to
great degree by the actions of the national
committee in the contest hearings,
particularly the California case,

Anxious to bolt the Conick"
Apostle California
s The Situation _
rhe Roosevelt men insisted that they
could expect nothing for their candidate
at the hands of the ruling Taft
majority in the national commltte
add criticised the work of that body
with bitterness.
The question of whether or not
Colonel Roosevelt would come to.Chicago
and what effect his coming
would upon the tense situation came
up at almost every turn of the endlesa
disucssion and arguments in
nearly all agreed that the arrival of
Colonel Roosevelt would bring the
situation to an immediate focus but
the final outcome of such an votft
was disputed.
After repeated conferences, the
RoosevCIt leaders announced that the
mass meeting announced for this afternoon
bad been postponed to Monday
night. No reason was given for
this change in the date of holding
the Roosevelt demonstration. There
was considerable speculation as to
just why the date had been changed
to the night before the formal opening
of the convention.
The States that loomed largely in
the calculations of the Roosevelt
leaders in case of a bolt were California,
Oregon, Kansas, Nebraska,
Pennsylvania, New Jeraey, West
Virginia. Sooth Dakota. Minnesota.
Wisconsin and North Dakota. Several
other States were named also
hut the former President's campaign
chiefs seemed to get greatest satisfaction
out of thplr survey of those
listed. '
TKe fhlrd candidate talk Included
Cummlna and LaFollette and then
went on to the much debated "dark
horse" possibility. A dozen names
were mentioned In the latter connection.
but there was no unanimity of
opiEion among the leaders in this regard.

Ten O'clock
After a lingering illneea of many
months and for the past three weeks
confined to her bed. Mrs. Napcy Elizabeth
Ecklin Jell peacefully on sleep
at her residence on West Third St.,
this morning at five oclock.
Mrs. Ecklln has been a great sufferer
since October last, but with all
her suffering she never murmured
nor complained and was resigned to
the very last. The deceased first beheld
the beauties of God's handiwork
on October 7, 1869 and at the time

year. She was the eldest daughter
of Mr. Isaac Buck, of this city, and
the beloved and affectionate wife of
>Ir. E. B. Ecklin.
For years she has been a consistent
member of the Methodist Church
and one of its Indefatigable workers.
The-Lord's work was her pleasure
and when doing His work she
was never happier. Not onljf was
she constantly in His sanctuary but
always among those present at the
different church societies of which
she took an actlvo part.
Her deeds of charity and neighborly
kindness was worthy of emulation
and her death is deplored and mourned
by a large number.
Mrs. Ecklin did what she could for
the betterment of others. Her home
was her castle and around the home
fireside she was best known and
more greatly beloved; h^re it is
where the vacant chair will now sit
but the fragrance of her presence
will long linger. " --?
BefiTdes a heartbroken husband

Special to the Daily Newo, |
WASHINGTON. D. C., JM( 14.?
Why is the Republican party beset j
by its present difficulties?
This question tan. be answered .
with ouo word?Tariff. ?. t
The tariff was originally employed
to meet the demands of the Civil
War. To raise war expenses the government
found it necessary to tax
every article manufactured in this
country. The manufacturer justly '
complained a' They said these
taxes were bo heavy it would ruin *
j them, because they could not pay the Ic
heavy internal taxes on their pro- I *
ducts ana lueet foreign competition.;'
Foreign manufacturers were driving , I
Americans out of their own markets [ I
by underselling them. jc
So a plan was devised to protect i1
American manufacturers. |'
"We will place a tariff on all lm- '
ported articles.'' said the government *
"which will put you on an even or 1
better footing with your foreign '
competitors." '
Everyone understood this protective
system was to be but temporary, t
to meet an unusual condition. When <
the war was over, the taxes on the 1
.products of the American mauufac-><
iturers were dispensed with. and. ob- '
viously, the protection to the Atnerl-'-i
can manufacturers should also bavejc
been removed, as the special reason J j
for protection had ceased.
. But in the meantime the privil-'i
eged few had discovered that in the i

Dhese fortunes were pointed as an
svldeace that the tariff was a good

Manager Scherer of the New York
Clearing House testified to many
things before the Money Trust investigating
committee that will cause
the (ountry banks to si' up and take
notice.
The clearing hoiise was shown to
be comp? sed of fifty New York banks.
No bai.l: with a capital stock amounting
to less than $1.000,too :s eligible
to membership.
Mr. Scherer's testimony revealed a
system by which the New York . -V2
banks gouge the country banks and
their clients out of millions.
He said that it cost 7 cents per
?1.000 to collect the checks of country
banks. The Clearing House, he
said, collects 7u rents per 81.000. or
ten tint*.? the real cost.
The average charge per day for
collections is about $80,000. It
amounts to about $.10,000,000 a year.
