members of the Georgia delegation in

In the Fifth district William Schley
Howard, a young attorney, won a de-
cisive victory over IAvingston. in the
Eighth district the returns show a con-
vention majority of four votes for H. J.

precincts in Elbert county, which gave
Tribble a majority of four votes. The
other nine members of Qeorgia’s dele-

The fight against Livingston and
Howard wan in each case based on the
representatives’ alleged decertlon of
the democratic party when It was
sought last December to change the so-
called "Cannon rules” of the house.

Pawhuska, Okla., Aug. 24.—An at-
tempt in which it was alleged land
grabbers sought to gain possession of
the 11,000,003 government Indian school
at Chillicothe, in northern Oklahoma,
near the Kansas state line, today was
laid before the congreesional commit-
tee which is investigating Indian land
contracts.
The school comprises numerous
stone buildings and 8000 acres of land.
The land is valued by the officials at
3400,000 and the buildings at 3600,000.
Representatives had been at Washing-
ton and stated that the buildings were
dilapidated and of little value and that
the Indians refused to send their chil-
dren to the school.
, The committee, headed by Repre-
sentative Charles H. Burk, chairman of
the house committee on Indian affairs,
made a thorough inspection of the
place. The equipment was said to be
in excellent condition and the farm
lands among the best productive in the
state. For the government to close
the institution and sell out the lands
would be to rob the Indians of one of
their chief sources of education, wild
an official. The land grabbers have
had agents working at Washington in
an effort to get the government to sell
the property for praclfally nothing.
The committee arrived fct later to-
day. after a seventy-mile automobile
ride from Arkansas City, Kan., through
the country owned largely by Osage
Indians. Investigation of contracts
made with these Indians will be begun
here tomorrow.

Dallas, Aug. 24.—Four deaths from
the intense heat in Fort Worth and
two In Dallas occurred last night and
today. The dead are in Fort Worth,
into the fight, as he says, aguin his
will, he has determined to pursue to
the end, win or lose,
Mr. Roosevelt's attitude was indi-
cated more clearly than at any time
before by a statement which he lssued
today. The statement follows.
"They will have all the fight they
want. I am only going to th© «on ven
tion because I feel that the public in-
terest. the interests of the people of
New York, demand that the republican
parly be given a chance to aland
equarely and uncompromisingly for
clean, decent, honest politics.
"I go to that convention to make the
speech exactly as it had been planned
originally, and, while I hope there will
be enough good sense to prevent any
one opposing the principle* few whh h
I shall stand, yet If they do oppose
them, then it is their own affair, and
BO far as I am concerned the issue
shall be absolutely ©leap cut."
The colonel sald he was going into
the fight with his eyes open and with
full realisation of the fact that he
might not be succesaful.
He said he felt that n account of
the attitude of members of the organ-
ization he was at perfect liberty to
carry on uncompromising warfare.
Some of Colonel Roosevelt's closest
friende in the state have told him they
were doubtful as to the outcome, and
he has replied that he himif felt that
even though he should be successful
in the state convention at Saratoga,
and such a platform as he desired
should be adopted the result of the
elections would be in grave doubt The
colonel has told his friends that he did
not feel sure that the Roosevelt- Hugh* o
forces would receive unqualifed sup-
port from the organiztion at the polls
Colonel Roosevelt’s endorsement of
Slate Senator Frederick M. Davenport
yesterday waa the first step in the fght
which he expects to carry on from now
until election time. He decided today
to go to the state fair in Syracuse on
September 17 to speak, and at that
time may talk politics.
He probably will make a number of
other speeches, both before and after
the etate convention.
