Revised Outline of Platform Planks on Tariff, Trusts and Injunction. Chicago, Juno 1C National Chair man Harry S. New of Indiana called the Republican national convention to order In the Coliseum at 12:10 p. m. He then Introduced Bishop Muldoon of Chicago, who made the opening prayer, during which the entire convention rose to their feet. Senator Hopkins, on behalf of the Chicago citizens committee, which co operated with the jiationul committee on arrangements for the convention, then presented to National Chairman New a handsome gavel. It was large and made for business. A heavy gold band was inscribed "Mr. Harry C. New, chairman Republican national convention, 1.108." Mr. New expressed his appreciation of the gift, and at once announced that Secretary Elmer Dover of the national committee would read the call of the convention. .Mr. Dover delegat ed Sir. Slailoy of Columbus, O., one of the reading clerks, to do the read ing. As he read the bands played on the outside, to some extent drowning the voice of the clerk. After the applause had subsided rhalrninn New in a few words ex pressed thanks for the gavel. He then said : "Gentlemen of the convention, the national committee has seloitsd for your temporary chairman Senator Ju lius C. Burrows of Michigan." There was another shout frini the convention, which was prol m?ed when Representative Henry C. Payne of New York rose to move that the i c tlon of the national committee ba ap proved. The motion was at op.ch adopted. Asks Judgment For Party's Record. Mr. Burrows was greeted wil'i in newed cheers as he advanced to the speaker's stand. Simultaneously w;lh Mr. Burrows' appearance at the speak ers' table an immense oil painting of President Roosevelt was unveiled at his right. The tableau brought forth a burst of enthusiasm. As Sir. Bur rows began to speak the picture was removed and the sole attention of the Immense gathering was devoted to the Sllchlgan statesman. The more strik ing sentences of his speech were lib erally applauded. When he reviewed In figures the Increased business of the country during the past four years and announced the enormous sum of gold accumulated in the national treas ury the convention became enthus iastic. He turned his attention to the ad ministration's regulation of trusts, and when he said: "But no hwest Indus try has been hampered," there was a round of approving applause. The dec laration that those corporations that had encroached on the rights of the public had been curbed to an extent never before known also pleased the convention. Sir. Burrows' challenge of "judg ment upon the record of the Republi can administrations" was the signal for a shout and applause. The following additional temporary officers were then elected: General secretary, John R. Slailoy, Columbus. O. Chief assistant secretary, Lafayette B. Glenson, New York. Sergeant-at-arnis, William F. Stone, Baltimore. Chief assistant sergeant-at-arms, Ed. P. Thayer, Greenfield, Ind. Parliamentarian, Asher C. Hinds, Washington, D. C. Official reporter, SI. W.

Washington, Juno It!. The shift of tho administration to the candidacy of either Senator Dolliver of Iowa or Governor Cummins of that state for the nomination for the vice-presidency, Is regarded as the outcome of devel opments during the last couple of days which Indicated that Representative James a. snerman ot New York wouia probably get the support of that state for second place on the ticket. It Is believed that If the Cortelyou boom had developed strength In New York state sufficient to get the dele gation the announcement made in fa vor of Dolliver and Cummings would not have been forthcoming. Sherman is regarded by the admin istration as rather too much of a con servative to take second place on the ticket and also is looked upon as lack ing ability to carry on a whirlwind campaign which the vice presidential nominee will probably be expected to do. There are many advisers In fa vor of Sir. Taft remaining at his home In Ohio to receive delegations and to perhaps make short speeches of wel cor e to them. There are many dangers awaiting the presidential nominee as a result of a momentary mistake of judgment In mal-lng long political speeches which would be a part of a general stumping campaign. For that reason many of those who are interested in Sir. Taft's candidacy will not wish to see him make a tour of the country. But In the case of the vice presi dential nominee Just the opposite view prevails. Either Senator Dolliver or Governor Cummins is looked upon as an Ideal campaigner. They are both advanced in political views and would readily, it is declared, meet the ap proval of the great West and Pacific coast state3. They are both ready talkers and are familiar with what are known as the Roosevelt policies, both of them having been particularly ener getic in co-operation In carrying them out. It Is believed that en the stump eith er of them will be able to fully satisfy the campaign managers by calling forth enthusiasm for the Republican ticket. At least such may authorita tively be stated to be the administra tion view. PLANK RELATINGTO RAILWAYS Some Corrections; Text of Planks on Tariff and Injunctions. Chicago, June 16. The exact text of the plank of the Republican plat form prepared by Wade Ellis and ap proved by President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft, relating to railroads, is as follows: "We approve tho enactment of a railroad rate law and a vigorous en forcement of the present administra tion of the statutes against rebates and discrimination, as a result of which the advantages formerly possessed by the large over the Binall shipper have substantially disappeared. In this connection we commend the appro priation of $350,000 by the present con gress In order to enable the interstate commerce commission to thoroughly Investigate and give publicity to the accounts of interstate railroads. "We believe, however, that the in terstate commerce law should be fur ther amended so as to give railroads the right to make and publish traffic agreements subject to the approval of the commission, but maintaining al ways the principle of competition be tween naturally competing lines and avoiding the common control of such lines by any means whatsoever, and we specially favor the enactment of such legislation as will provide for federal restriction against the over Issue of stocks and bonds by Interstate carriers." Slore or less serious Inaccuracy has characterized the reputed textual pub lications of the plank relating to the tariff. The exact text of that plank, as well as of the plank concerning anti-Injunction legislation, follows: "The Republican party declares un equivocally for a revision of the tariff by a special session of congress imme diately following the Inauguration of the next president, and commends the steps already taken to this end in the work assigned to the appropriate com mittees of the two houses which are now Investigating the operation and effect of existing schedules. "In all tariff legislation the true principle of protection Is best main tained by the Imposition of such duties as will equal the difference between the cost and production at home nnd abroad, together with a reasonable profit to American Industries, and the benefits that follow are best secured by the American establishment of maximum and minimum rates which shall be applied automatically to the end of treating the trade of other countries In accordance with their treatment of our trade. "The minimum should represent the normal measure of protection required for the benefit of our own industries. The aim and purpose of the Republl an policy Is not only to preserve, without excessive duties, that security against foreign competition to which American manufacturers, farmers and producers are entitled, but also to maintain the high standard of llvln-j of the wage earners of this country who are the most direct beneficiaries of the protective system. "Between the United States and the Philippines we believe In a free Inter change of products, with such limita tions as to sugar and tobacco as will avoid injury to domestic Interests. "We declare for such amendments of the statute of procedure In the fed eral courts with respect to the use of the writ of injunction as will on the one hand prevent the summary Issue of such orders without proper consid eration, and on the other will preserve undiminished the power of the courts to enforce their process, to the end that Justice may be done at all times and to all parties." Chicago antl-Bryanltes deny leader's 2lalm that he has 697 votes and assert that his strength in delegates at Don ver will not exceed 546. ANTI-GAMBLING BILL Signed by the Governor Shortly After It Passed the Senate. Bookmakers Arrested Millers War on Health Foods Acquitted In Capitol Craft Trial Gould Deserts Pitts burg Vanderbilt't Colt Won the Grand Prix de Paris. After a bitter struggle the precise like of which no man In or about the legislature has ever seen, or expects to see again, the famous Agnew-Hart anti-racetrack gambling bills are now laws of the state of New York. Governor Hughes by his sig nature affixed to each of the bills crowned a legislative victory, the bril liancy of which, equaled only by its unexpectedness, Is conceded even by those who fought him In this matter to the last ditch and beyond. A few minutes before 2. p. m. Thurs day the truly extraordinary session of the legislature of 1908 adjourned with out day. The decisive votes which passed the bills were cast by Senator Otto G. Foelker of the Fourth district of Brooklyn, who crawled from a sick bed and made a sixty mile railroad Journey to do it, so weak and distress ed in mind and body that he seemed on the verge of utter collapse, and by a new senator, William C. Wallace of Niagara Falls, who was elected at a special election, In the campaign pre ceding which the governor himself toured the district speaking In behalf of his election. The bills which now constitute chapters 506 and 507 of the laws of 1908 In no way nffeet, so far as their face provisions go, the state racing commission in particular or horse rac ing in general. They relate solely to the penalties for gambling, pool sell ing and book making, which as before are declared by the law to be "i public nuisance." Chapter 606 amends the racing law by repealing that provision under which an exclusive penalty of simply recovering at civil suit the amount wagered, which has applied to gambling within a racetrack enclos ure, thus exempting such gambling from the penalties operative elsewhere In the state, and It also provides that this general penalty shall bo "impris onment In the county jail or peniten tiary for a period of not more than one year," without alternative of fine. Chapter 507 amends the penal code in like manner and In addition changes the grade of the crime from that of felony, which any gambling was until now. to that of a misdemeanor, thus bringing the offenso within the Juris diction of the minor criminal courts. Nine Bookmakers Arrested. Between 15,000 and 20,000 persona, a bumper throng for a Friday, went down to the Gravesend racetrack from New York to see the horses run and, if possible, to make wagers on their favorites. Hundreds of gaily dressed women were in the crowds in the grandstand and the fieldstand. Six races were run according to the schedule and six favorites won. There was betting, too, on every race, not withstanding the new Agnew-Hart anti-gambling law was in force and notwithstanding John Cavanaugh, the master of the betting ring, announced that no speculation should be Indulged in. Nine persons were taken into cus tody by the police authorities, who In uniform and plain clothes circulated In large numbers among the crowds in the betting pavilion. The prisoners were charged with violating the new anti-gambling law and each man was held in $200 ball for a hearing. Orlando Jones, one of the leading members of the .Metropolitan Turf as sociation the big bookmakers' club was the most prominent of the book makers arrested. A rumor to tho ef fect that Jones would Invite arrest to tost the constitutionality of the new law was current, and when he was led from the betting ring and taken to the Coney Island police station no denial of prearranged plan was forthcoming. Millers War on Health Food. The millers of the country are tip. In arms against the makers of breakfast foods and a lively war, back ed by a $100,000 advertising fund, Is likely to be launched by the Millers' National federation. The point at is sue Is the statement commonly made by the health food men that white flour Is harmful. Secretary Goetz niann recommended immediate meas ures to counteract the claims of the op position. Tho day was devoted to consideration of tho "troubles of the milling industry and a remedy." It was agreed that there is a large over production in the Industry. Threats Made Against Thomas Car. The United States embassy at St. Petersburg recently brought to the attention of the foreign office sev eral threatening letters received by the Thomas company, an American concern, saying that an attempt would be made to damage Its automobile which Is now crossing Siberia In the New York to Purls race. In reply the foreign office informed the embassy that orders to protect tho car have been sent to tho Siberian administra tion. Bryan Claims 25 More Than Needed. William J. Bryan returned from York, Neb., to his home In Lincoln. At Ms office it was announced C97 dele gates to the Democratic convention at Denver are pledged to vote for Bryan for president, this being 23 more than the necessary two-thirds majority. Uouia Deserts Pittsburg. The Wabash road will abandon Pitts burg, and at the end of the present month there will be little left of the road here excepting the $1,000,000 tun nel through the hills opposite the city, the expensive bridge across the SIo nongahela and the magnificent depot, which cost $1,000,000. The executive offices of both the Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal and the Wheeling and Lake Erie, which recent ly went Into the hands of a receiver, will be transferred to Toledo and Cleveland. B. A. Worthington, vice president and general manager of both roads, will remove his official family to Toledo the first of the month, because of his appointment as receiver of the Wheeling and Lake Erie rail road. The depot building In Pittsburg will be practically deserted and will be rented out for offices. The contract with the Carnegie Steel company, by which the Wabash was to receive 23 per cent of its freight tonnage per year, will also be abrogated. This was estimated to be worth at least $5,000,000 per year and was guaranteed by the steel trust. Gould spent at least $30,000,000 In ind around Pittsburg and still holds the Belt Line railroad, connecting with all the Industrial establishments. This cost $12,000,000, and was sold to Gould by ex-Scnator William Flinn and others. Vanderbilt't Colt Won the Grand Prix. Thousands of Americans Sunday saw William K. Vanderbilt's bay colt Northeast, with J. Chllds up, capture the Grand Prix de Paris, the blue ribbon event of the French turf, which this year was worth about $72, 000. Beautiful weather favored the run ning of this classic and fully 150,000 persons gathered at Longchamps to witness the race, which marked the close of the Paris season, among them President Fallleres and the members of his cabinet. Sir. Vanderbllt was given an ovation and was escorted to the presidential lodge, where he was warmly congratulated by SI. Fallleres. The race was a stirring one from start to finish, Northeast winning by only a scant head from his half-sister Sauge Pourpres, owned by Count Lemarois. The Americans made a killing on Vanderbilt's victory, as the odds were 10 to 1, the public losing faith In Sir. Vanderbilt's chances when Seasick II was withdrawn after his bad showing In the English Derby. The favorites, Sladeah, Grill Room and Quintette, finished in the ruck. Acquitted In Capitol Trial. After being out twenty-four hours, the Jury nt Harrisburg, Pa., in the case of the five men charged with con spiracy to defraud the state by render ing a false bill for metallic furniture for the new Capitol, brought In a ver dict of not guilty. Three of the defendants, W. L. Slathues, former state treasurer; W. P. Snyder, former auditor general, and James SI. Shuniaker, former superin tendent of public grounds and build ings, were acquitted on binding in structions from Judge Kunklo, leaving to be determined the Innocence or guilt of Representative H. Burd Cassel and Joseph SI. Huston, the other two accused men. Cassel Is the head of the Pennsyl vania Construction company, which supplied the Capitol with about $2, 000,000 worth of metallic furniture, and Huston is the architect of the Cap itol and also the designer of the fur nishings of the building. None of the defendants was In court when the Jury rendered Its verdict and there was no demonstration. Standard Oil Found Guilty. Guilty as charged In the Indictment was the verdict brought In by the fed eral court jury at Rochester In the Standard Oil company case at 6:30 o'clock Friday evening. The jury had been out since the noon recess. Daniel J. Keneflck of Buffalo, who conducted the defense, moved for a new trial, and it was arranged to havo Judge Hazel hear argument on tho motion at 11 o'clock on July 7. Spec ial Assistant Attorney General S. Wal lace Dempsey, the prosecuting attor ney, gave notice that he would move for Judgment and sentence on the ad journed date. The oil company was placed on trial June 1 for an alleged violation of tho Interstate commerce law, In accepting a concession from tho filed tariff on shipments of oil from Olean, N. Y., to Rutland and Bellows Falls, Vt. Thero were forty counts In the Indictment, each representing action on a car of oil. Tho maximum fine on each count Is $20,000, or a total for the whole ot the shipment of $800,000. Accident at Lee Statue Unveiling. A dozen persons wore hurt, none of them fatally, at Capitol Heights, a suburb of .Montgomery, when the platform used to accommodate partici pants in the unveiling of a statue of Robert E. L'.-e collapsed. The most seiio'usly Injured Includo S. L. Slay, private secretary to Judge Thomas Jones of the United States court, who was tho speaker of the oc casion, and Sirs. Harvey E. Jones, wife of tho adjutant general of Ala bama division I'nited Confederate Vet erans. Many Confedei'ite veterans return lug from tho reunion at Birmingham stopped hero to attend the unveiling exercises and the temporary platform was tuxed to tho utmost. Ex-Governor William C.
