The Progres iilve Republican majority- demands the nomination for President of a man who will uphold the policies of Theodore Roosevelt. This wan the keynote of Gilford Pin ehot's f.pei?h here today at the confer ence of Bull Mooser". The object of the conference is to effect a "reform with in the party " "While Mr. Pinchot did not sperifical I)' use the name (ieneral Wood m the man who he thought would be acceptable to the party, it was made plain throughout his speech that the general's name was uppermost iu bis mind. "We do not want a halfway Presi dent," Mr. Pinchot Mild. "The Tic publican candidate must be fully and .openly on the side of the people and 'against evcr. monopoly nnd Mpeciul in tcrest that picjs ngnimt them" Mr. Pinchot pointed out what he termed shortcomings of thu'-c in ponei nnd declared that the time nv ripe for the general betterment of the country. A. Nevin Dietrich read a letter from fformer Senator William Flinn, declar ing he was in sympathy with the moc ment and approved the plan of tending (progressive delegates to the next na tional convention. Mr. Pinchot' speech, In part, follows: lp to Progressives "The future of the Republican party is in the hands of the progressive He 'publicans, if they choose to use their power. They are the great majority What they determine and insist upon 'they will secure. What they go after and intend to get the Old (Suard can not deny, for the progressives make up the bulk of the party. They only need to organize to make their will dominant !n the party as their policies nlrcadj 'are accepted iu the nation at large. "Not only America but the world has ibeen catching up with its progressives. iOut of the agnn of nations a new (world has been born. What it will grow ito be we can not tell, but this one thing 'we know. The war has lifted the com mon human rights of the plain people to heights they never reached before. "The war maj , or it may not, have .destroyed autocracy and despotism it .may, or it may not, turn out to be the (last war in human history ; it may, or lit may not, have made the world safer for democracy. But this it has done it has lifted human welfare to the highest level, and has reduced property and privilege to the lowest level they lhave ever occupied in the minds of men. iThe war has brought the world far nearer to the progressive way of think -dngthan ever it was before. No Half-way President "If T can interpret your thought, the .progressive Republican majority de mands the nomination for President of a man of progressive mind, a follower 'of Theodore Roosevelt, the American, pledged to promote the development nnd application of the policies nnd ideals of Theodore Roosevelt for the benefit of the American people. Vi'A do not want n half-way Presi dent. The Republican candidate must be fully and openly on the side of the people and against eery monopoly and 'special interest that preys upon them, t "He must be for the consumer against the profiteer; for the furmer against the .packers, trusts, and combines which ex 'ploit him; for the industrial worker, including his right to organize, against .the unfair emplojer; for the busiuo-s jnan against the gamblers and monopo Jlets of credit and opportunity; for the small man against the magnate; for a better living for the manj rather ;than greater profits for the few ; for the (Common people against the political tosses who exploit and betray them. And there must be no doubt about it. "I believe this conference would be wise to invite the progressive Republi cans of all the other states to join with its in selecting representatives to attend a progressive Republican conference to pe held next fall for the purpose of reaching a common plan of action. .Meantime I believe we should be wise to ayoid committing ourselves to anj plan or any presidential candidate. Person ally, I am for whatever progressive Re publican shall in the end be fouud mo3t available to prevent the nomination of a reactionary and to defeat the Demo crats." , Others Arrive Among those attending the meeting ,are .Magistrate Robert Carson, Arthur Jjranam, P.

BELIEVE CLOTH THEFTS END WITH ARRESTS Two of Four Men Arrested in Baltimore Linked With Robbery Here Further information linking the four Philudelphians under arrest in Baltimore for stealing cloth with nu merous thefts here was uncovered to day. Abe Miller, a teamster, of Lawrence street north of Poplar, and William Hcssler, a chauffeur, are under $1000 bail each for alleged participation in a $21,000 cloth robbery in North Phila delphia. The two other rhiladelphians, Rubin Lazaroff and Max Levin, are not known to the police here. Lazaroff is said to have made a confession. Hcssler and Miller were nrrested after the warehouse of the Hinsdale Trans portation Company. Old York road and Glenwood avenue, was robbed of cloth valued at $21,000 last year. The truck which carted away the material was seen by a passing trolley car conductor and Inter proved to be Miller's. Another man, Louis Kelchin sky, a chauffeur, confessed at thnt time, but failed to appear to help thc prose cution when the case was called for trial last Dcwmbor. He did, however, help the authorities to locate n store of stolen cloth in New York. In his confession he implicated Hcss ler and Sillier in the robbery of the cloth shop of Mnur Levan, of Fifth and Walnut streets, of $10,000 worth of clpth, which resulted in Levan's sui cide.

Meskill Asks $500 and Interest From Beneficial Association CLAIMS PAYMENTS STOPPED Representing John J. Meskill, a .for mer battalion chief In the lire depart ment, Joseph M. Smith has brought I suit against the Firemen's Pension Fund of Philadelphia, a corporation, to recover $,'00 and Interest alleged to bo I due as benefits under Meskill's mem I bership In the association. On December 1. 1017, after twenty scars' active service in the fire depart ment of the city. Meskill went on the retired list. Under his certificate of membership Mr. Smith contends that the plaintiff was entitled to receive from the fund iu monthly payments one half of the yearly salary he was getting when he retired. For two years prior to the time of his retirement Meskill drew annual sal ary of $20(10 and was entitled to get from the pension fund monthly benefits of $S,1..Ti. The benefits were paid by the fund from December. 1017, up to nnd including the month of January of thi ye-ir. when, according to the lawyer, the corporation refused to con tinue them, although Meskill was in good standing and had done nothing to forfeit his rights in the pension fund. Claim is therefore made for the monthly benefits withheld, together with interest from the time each fell due and was payable.
