CHICAGO, June 17

Mr Roosevelt's arrival was excellently timed, when popular indignation at tne committee's modus operancii was at its height. The committee allotted President Taft 234 congested seats, and iUr Roosevelt 20.

Mr Roosevelt, addressing the crowd, said that it was a naked nght against ■theft, bat the thieves were not going to win.

He demanded that tne Credentials Committee should reject the findings of the National Committee. Failing this, lie would appeal to the Convention.
