The move for peace Is said to have been responsible for the postponement of the progressive conference which originally was set for today. FOR ROOSEVELT, BUT I NOT THIRD PARTY Seattle, July 15. At a conference of Roosevelt Republicans of the state of Washington, held In Seattle today, resolutions were adopted denouncing the nomination of President Taft, absolving all Republicans from loyalty to the Chicago nominees and declaring in favor of nominating and working for Roosevelt presidential electors, but not a third party state ticket. The vote against a separate state HotAt was overwhelming. The reso lutions Instruct the state campaign committee appointed at the Aberdeen Roosevelt convention to proceed to the nomination of Roosevelt electors.

First honors go to the Americans. The total points will not be complete until tonight, but the American margin, especially so far as the real athletic events, the track and field contests, are concerned, is so great that everyone connected with the team is being showered with congratulations.

America scored in only one of the big running events today, the team race where the American runners made a show of their field. The visitors from over seas failed to show at all in the cross-country race where they hoped to have a man inside "the money." As was expected H.

Under such conditions, any electors on the Republican ticket who wished to vote for Roosevelt would be free to do so. To make any agreement of the kind proposed, in his opinion, would give the entire movement a tinge of Republicanism and alienate Democratic support. He took the ground that, having declared the nomination of President Taft fraudulent and having taken the commandment, "Thou shalt not steal" as his precept, he could not consent to a bargain with his opponents in the Republican party. His declaration was regarded as a final answer to those of his followers who have wished to lay less emphasis upon the new party idea and support Colonel Roosevelt on the ground that he was the rightful nominee of the Republican party.

B. iB TAFTISAGCREDITED Senator Makes Claims Republicans Free to Vote for Whom They Choose. Washington. July 15. Senator Works.

a progressive Republican, in a statement issued today, declared the promoters of the "new party" would be guilty of dishonorable dealings If they should attempt to retain control of the Republican machinery in states where the progressive faction controls the Republican party. Senator "Works declared neither Taft nor Roosevelt had been legally nominated; that the Republican party had no legal nominee and that voters were free to vote for whom they choose. He said that this was no time to form a new party. "That," he said, "must come later." Senator Works reviewed the Chicago convention, and said in part: "So it became a fight to a finish just as malicious and just as disgraceful as the campaign that preceded It. The Roosevelt forces practically bolted.

Taft received the vote of those who remained. The delegates who voted for the resolution nominating Roosevelt were wholly without authority to act In any such way, being duly elected and accredited delegates to the national Republican convention. "So the Republican party has no candidate for president. Its members may vote for the Democratic nominee or any independent candidate without leaving or breaking faith with their own party, because it has no candidate. "But the Roosevelt followers are so indignant and wild with passion that they are not content with this independent course.

Nothing but a brand new party will satisfy their wrath. "If, in the progressive states, a new party Is formed, it must of necessity be made up in whole or in part of the men now composing the Republican party in those states. They can not remain on committees in state or county of the Republican party and at the same time act with the new party. This would be treachery of the worst kind. It would dishonor their new party at the very beginning.

"If they attempt by direct or Indirect means to hold on to the machinery or offices of the old party while working with or for a new one, or its establishment, they can no longer cry 'thief to the men they charge with stealing delegates at Chicago and no man of right political principles can consistently support their new party." Senator Work said the alternative for Republicans was to "rebuke corrupt poll-tics" if they did not believe Taft was honestly elected, by refraining from voting for him, by voting for the Democratic candidate or by voting for Roosevelt or someone else as an independent candidate. PROPOSE COMPROMISE AT ILLINOIS MEETING Chicago, July 15. When representatives of the progressive or third party from all parts of the state meet in Chicago tomorrow to consider the issuance of a call for a state convention and the advisability of putting a state and county ticket into the field, a suggestion for peace In the Republican party will, it is said, be submitted to the leaders.

When that fact was established the scientists were ready to proceed a step further and see If life could not be artificially created in animals. Guinea pigs were selected first-Several female guinea pigs were isolated for several weeks. Each was kept in a separate cage and was fed carefully. A lock was put on each cage and a seal attached to it to prevent the possibility of anybody, expect the scientists themselves from opening the cage. At a time that was believed to be favorable the saline solution was injected.

The theory Is that the solution causes reproduction. The animals at first seemed to give promise that the experiment would prove successful, but they soon grew ill and died. Examinations indicated that the solution had been successful, but evidently had caused the death of the guinea pigs. The experiments were repeated many times. The aim was to ascertain just how much of the solution was necessary to create life, yet would not kill the animal.

Finally the solution was injected into three pigs and success was assured. Three guinea pigs were born of three mothers. They seemed to be perfect specimens though they were smaller than guinea pigs born In the natural way. Two of the pigs thus artificially produced died. Autopsies of the bodies showed that the spinal cord in both had not developed properly.

The scientists say that such a thing frequently happens with human babies. The pig that remained alive is growing slowly, but in a healthy manner. It is being studied with the greatest attention and satisfaction by the scientists. The scientists are making careful notes of their work, and it is said that an article telling of the results soon will be prepared for the profession. Biologists in this city said they believed artificial creation of life is possible.

"If the pigs were actually born by artificial means of reproduction," said a biological chemist, "it shows what many scientists already have believed. It is the first time that artificial reproduction has been accomplished In mammals." OF MSOimp MAKING Seagirt, July 15. Governor Wilson's idea of running a presidential campaign, as indicated by the action of the Democratic national committee, is a plan of his own, conceived since his nomination and moulded into concrete form with the advice of his closest political friends. "It is simply something that I thought out myself since I was nominated," he said tonight. "It was worked out after consultations with as many advisers as 1 could reach." Chief among these counsellors are William F.

McCombs, the new national chairman; Senator Gore, Representative Burleson, William G. McAdoo and Robert S. Hudspeth and Josephus Daniels, national committeemen from New Jersey and North Carolina, respectively. The governor spent a quiet day. He rose late, had few callers, played golf In the afternoon and made appointments to meet Lieutenant Governor Conway, of New York, and Representative Oscar Underwood, Democratic leader of the house, at Trenton tomorrow.

Governor Wilson will lunch with Mr. Underwood. "It is entirely satisfactory to me that they have met with my suggestions in the matter," the governor said tonight in discussing the action of the national committee at Chicago today. As to the sub-committee, which, with Mr. McCombs, will direct the campaign, the governor said: "It will be a real managing, business committee.

It will be a central committee and will provide for the expansion and elaboration of the campaign management. This elaboration wilt be done, of course, in consultation with myself. "The appointment of the committee will not be made until Mr. McCombs shall have consulted with me." The governor declined to discuss the personnel of the committee until he has conferred with Mr. McCombs, "and some other gentlemen" who have been invited to visit him here Wednesday.

He declined also to give the names of the "other gentlemen." Governor Wilson Indicated tonight that every important detail of the campaign would receive his attention. His close friends say that he will be the real campaign manager. "Just as far as 24 hours a day will permit," he said, "I will keep In touch with the situation." A telegram apprised Governor Wilson this afternoon that most of the Democratic members of the congress would visit him, if convenient, at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon, coming up on a special train from Washington. The governor replied by wire that he would be very glad to have them come. SMOLAN WILL HAVE PLENTY OF POLITICS There will be more politics to the square inch in the little town of Smolan today than there ever has been before.

Two candidates for the United States senate and one candidate for governor will speak there today. Governor Stubbs will be one of the speakers. T. Bond, of Salina, one of the Democratic candidates for the United States senate, will be another. Senator George H.

Hodges, Democratic candidate for governor, will be another. T. L. Bond wTill open his campaign there and it looks like Governor Stubbs might be opening his campaign also, but he disclaims it. Smolan is a little town in Saline county.

LIVE STOCK MARKET LETTER. Special to the Capital. Kansas City Stock Yards, July 13. Slim cattle supplies boosted prices 25 to 40 cents last week and the advance was pretty well held except on wintered grass cattle which lost a good part of the advance by the close. The crack Greenwood county cattle lacked finish last week and showed up bad on the killing sheets, hence the coldness of buyers toward them at the end of the week.

Stockers and feeders also lost about all the bloom acquired the first days of the week. The run today is 11,000 head, and the market is uneven, stronger on prime cattle, with a new high top at butcher grades and cows also firm, likewise stockers and feeders, but plain killers, including quarantine cattle, are steady to 15c lower. Missouri again set the new high figure, the cattle coming from a good sized school of that class located in Clinton county. Butler county, Kansas, topped the wintered variety of grass steers at $8.45, with some 1,250 Greenwood county steers at and others with less class, at $7.75 Buyers were riding hard for butcher grades of steers, paying $7.75 to therefor. Quarantines to tile number of 160 carloads arrived, the good ones steady, medium and common kinds shaded somewhat from the advance scored last week, but still bringing highest prices ever known at this season.

Quarantine steers range from $4.50 to $6.65 today; top last week, cows, $3.00 to $5.65. A car of panhandle calves, 175-lbs, brought $8.00 today; 16 head out at $6.00. Top stock steers bring $6.40, but plenty of plain steers sell under feeders at $6.25 to $6. SO. Hogs are steady today, top bulk of sales, $7.30 to $7.50.

Runs continue light, 4,500 here today. Middle and light weights now lead the heavies by a 5 to 10 cent margin. Average weight here last week 204 pounds; same week last year, 192 pounds. Floods of spring lambs at Louisville, Jersey City, et al, have put a 25 to 50 cent crimp in the lamb market today, following moderate declines last week. Runs here are moderate, 5,500 today.

Top lambs here today brought bulk of the lambs, $7.20 and upwards. Sheep are holding steady, range wethers up to native ewes, around $4.10. BUTTER. EGGS AND POULTRY. Elgin, 111., July 15.
