CONVENTION
uniiui
Of Republicans Met In Chicago
Coliseum.
Senator Julius C. Burrows of Michigan
Outlines Issues of Campaign In His
Speech as Temporary Chairman.
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,

Administration Said to Regard Him as
Too Conservative.
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

toward the close of the exercises. Tho
btatuo of Lee is of bronzo and sur
