THIRD PARTY IN CDNVENTION NATIONAL PROGRESSIVES ASREM OLE IN CHICAGO TO START CAMPAIGN. EEVERIDGE SOUNDS KEYNOTE Cheer* at Chicago former dent Arrive* —Revision of Anti- Trust Law, an American Bu»lneM Tariff in Plfctform. Chicago, AUK Two thousand men and women, tares allghj. with enthusi asm, saw a political party come into being here amid the roar of whole aouted cheering und the triumphant blare Of bands. The floor of the vast Coliseum waa a ewavitiß mass of color a» the tnrong t,i delegates again and again sprang to it* feet under the stimulus of some new Inspiring song or the mention of a name that has stood high in the ranks of the National Progressive party. The triumphant entry of Col. Theo dore Roosevelt Into Chicago, when -0,- . hi persons cheered him from the La S.tlit 1 street station to the Congress Hotel, had kindled a great flame of en thusiasm. It grew every moment up to the opening, of the convention. The convention v.as called to order nt 12.43 by Senator Dixon. The Coli seum floor was crowded and the gal leries were well filled. Many of the delegations came in singing. Ihe Pentisylvanians had a parody on '•John Brown's Body," in which the) announced they would take considi able delight in suspending Senator Boies Penrose to a sour apple iree. The Jersey men sang a ditty to the tune of the "Battle Hymn of the Re public," announcing that the Bull Moose is Coming," and that the (■. O. p elephant and Democratic donkey wore scared out of their boots. The baiulanna kerchief was in evidence everywhere. Senator Dixon declared that the convention was a new milestone in American politics and that a new part*, knowing no North and no South and 'founded on the live issues of to day, will take its place with those parties which live on the dead issues of the past. As Dixon finished the call of a delegate for,"Three cheers for Teddy," brought the convention to its feet, cheering for a full minute. Then ex-Senator Albert J. Beverldge of Indiana, took the gavel as tempo rary chairman of the convention. He launched into a declaration of the new party's principles, the faith of the Pro gressives, and their hopes for the fu ture that was punctuated with great bursts of applause from the audience. In his address Chairman Ueveridge said in reference tc the new party: "To carry out our principles we have a program of constructive re form. We mean present. We mean to make laws fit conditions out of date, and where we tear down we mean to build what is right and fitted to the times. We hearken to the call of the present. We mean to make laws fit conditions as they are and meet the needs of the people who are 011 earth today. That we may do this we found a party through which all who believe with us can work with us, or. rather, we declare our allegiance to the party which the people themselves have founded. For this party comes from the grass roots. It has grown from the soil of the people's hard necessi ties. It has the vitality of the peo ple's strong convictions. The people have work to be done and our party is here to do that work. ' The speaker discussed the Republi can and Democratic parties, the "boss systein," and "special interests." He declared the Progressive party will accomplish reforms vital to American business. He said: "We mean to put new business laws on our statute books which will tell American business men what they can da and what they cannot do. The next great business reform we must have to steadily increase American prosper ity is to change the method of build ing our tariffs. The tariff must be taken out of politics and treated as a business question instead of a political question. The greatest need of busi ness is certainty, but the only thing certain about our tariff is uncertainty. Next to our need to make the Sher man law modern, understandable, and just, our greatest fiscal need is a genu ine, permanent, non-partisan tariff commission. There has not been and will not be any sincere und honest ef fort by the old parties to get a tariff commission, nor to take the tariff out of polities. "A tariff high enough tc give Amer ican producers the American market when they make honest goods and sell them at honest prices, but low enough that when they sell dishonest goods at dishonest prices, foreign competi tion car correct both evils; a tariff high enough to enable American pro ducers to pay our workingmen Amer ican wages and so arranged that the workingmen will got such wage, a business tariff where changes w ill be so made as to reassure business in stead of disturbing it —this is the tar iff and the method of its making in which the Progressive party believes." Abolition of child labor in factories, mills, mines and sweat shops, and a plan for old-age pensions were Includ ed in the Progressive platform by the speaker, who, incidentally, fuvared woman suffrage.

DISASTER S CAUSE MYSTERY Family in Oange'. sut All Are Rescued Before Building is Destroyed by Fire—General Tancrede Auguste, Former Senator, Heads Republic. Port au Prince. Haiti, Aug. 9.— j Gen. Clncinnatus L»econte, President of the Republic ol' Haiti, was killed in an ex plosion anil lire which destroyed the palace. Munitions of war were stored under the palace in large quantities. There was an explosion of these which partially wrecked the palace and shook nearby parts of the city. The palace, which was of wood, took tire. A series of lesser explosions fol lowed and prevented the firemen from working. It is estimated that 41>0 per sons were either killed or injured by the explosion. All the members of President Lecon te's family except the President him self were rescued. Those who did the rescue work were unable to find the President in the building and finally themselves were driven out by the rapidly burning lire and the succession of explosions of powder in the base ment. , The pxplosion was of sufficient force to awaken the entire city. The great er part of the population turned out into the streets and followed others running to the palace. The firemen had plenty of volunteers to assist them, but the explosions were so fre quent as not to permit effective work. The palace was in ruins In less than an hour. At a joint meeting of the houses of Congress Gen. Tancrede Auguste, Sen ator and ex-.Minister of Public Works, was named as President. .lean Jacques Dessalines Michel Cln cinnatus Leconte would have been President of Haiti exactly one year if he had lived until the 16th of this month. On August 16 last ha was sworn in as President of the "black re public," ten days after he entered Port-au-Prince, the capital, at the head of his successful revolutionary forces. He overthrew the Government of former President Simon, who fl.nl to Jamaica upon the success of Leconte. ACCIDENT ON CURVE Five Die, 40 Hurt, as Train Leaps from Track to Marsh, in Dorchester.

ROOSEVELT TELLS POLITICAL FAITH CHICAGO PROGRESSIVE CONVEN TION GREETS LEADER WITH 57-MINUTE DEMONSTRATION. HE DELIVERS LONG ADDRESS Cheers of 15.000 In Coliseum Drown the Music of Bands— Delegates Parade with Banners Women Lifted to the Platform. Chicago, Aug. 7. The second day"* session tif the Nit ton a I Progressive com cut Inn was given over almost en tlroly to Col. Theodore H.iuaevelt. who, isi addition to delivering his long awaited "confession of faith," answer ed at some length and with a good deal of earnestness a question as to his attitude on the negro question. The 2,000 delegate* and 15,000 spec tators cheered Colonel Roosevelt for almost an hour when he appeared sud denly and rather dramatically on the platform of the Coliseum. The rafters fairly rang with the noise of ti-.e de monstration. While awaiting the ( ol •Mtt Intnl. m»ct el the datagatM had joined In an impromptu song that they would follow him wherever he should choose to lead. This was the spirit of the reception accorded to the former President when he reached the convention hall, and it was the spirit with which his id"as of progressivc ness were received as fast as they were uttered. One of the 'eattires of the conven tion was the singing. All joined in the songs with old fashioned camp meet ing fervor. The great band ill 'he loft was well supplied with trombones, clarinets, cymbals, cellos and drums and besides there was a sort of minute gun arrangement which was shot off during the singing of the national an them or "The Star Spangled Banner" or the "llattle Hymn of the Republic." The effect was not ou'.y tremendously dramatic but tliere was also a tingling the nerves seldom felt on occasions oi this kind. Temporary Chairman neverldge called the convsntion to order shortly after 12 o'clock and requested the Rev. Father Andrew Spetz of Stanis laus parish to say the prayer. Tl-e reverend gentleman closed his prayer by reciting the Uord's Prayer, in which thousands of the great audience Joined. Moreover they repeated the prayer correctly. It was an evidence that the audience and the delegates and alternates were familiar with 't. Secretary Oscar King Davis then read the following telegram from Col. William R. Nelson, owner of the Kan sas City Star, who is recuperating at his summer home, Oceanside, Mag nolia, Mass. Lord, how I wish I were with you! What a great day, the launching of a party of imagination, hope and proa peels! We can afford to give the oth er fellows their memories and disap pointments. The past has no Interests for us. The future is our fruit. When the applause that followed the reading of the telegram died away the audience stood and sang "Amer ica," under the leadership of a musical director especially engaged. "Amer ica"was followed by "Dixie." It was nearly 1 o'clock when Tempo rary Chairman Beveridge announced that the guest of the convention was at hand and Colonel Roosevelt appear ed quickly from the rear of the plat form and stood beneath the great sounding board of the convention. Instantly a sea of bandanna hand kerchiefs and American flags flutter ed. Several of the veterans threw their arms around his neck. A march of the standards was begun. Okla homa, Minnesota, Ohio, Washington, New York, Pennsylvania, Missouri. Kansas, lowa, Montana, California, all in turn marched before the platform waving, yelling, howling, chanting: "We want Teddy, we want Teddy," "He's coming back." "Who's coming back?" "Teddy's coming back." By this time the demonstration had lasted 50 minutes. Chairman Beve ridge banged hi 3 gavel for order. The audience took that as a signal for fur ther commotion. The singing, shout ing and racket lasted for another sev en minutes. Temporary Chairman Beveridge standing by Colonel Roose velt then presented the ex-President with these words: "The hour and the man—Theodore Roosevelt." The band played "Onward, Christian Soldiers," and a flashlight picture of the convention was taken, with Col. Roosevelt standing at attention at the front of the stage, ready to proceed with his speech. Then three of the flashlight bags caught lire und were rescued by three firemen amid ap plause from the floor and the galler ies. At 1.45 P. M. t Colonel Roosevelt be gan his speech. He rend it from his printed copy, but did not read all of it. The reading of all the speech would have taken nearly three hours, so the Colonel "skipped" and edited as he went along to save time. In his speech he advocated: Presidential primaries, popular elec tion of Senators, a short ballot, publi cation of campaign funds before elec tion, recall of court decisions, Federal as well as State, by the people; regu lation of labor, with minimum wage commissions and old age pensions, Col. Roosevelt's advocacy of wumau suffrage was loudly applauded. ROOSEVELT AND JOHNSON NAMED NATIONAL TICKET OP THE PRO GRESSIVE PARTY NOMINATED ■ Y ACCLAMATION. STIRRING CONVENTION SCENE Platform Adopted Based on the Con fession of Faith at Contained in the Opening Address of the Head of the Ticket. Chicago. Aug. H Singing "Onward. Christian Soldiers," and tlie "Itattle Hymn." the delegates to the firs; National convention of the new Pro gresslve party acclaimed Colonel Theo dore Koosevelt of New York us their candidal! lor President, un<! Governor I ilium W. Johnson of California as their choice for Vice President. Mark ing a new departure in i lie proceedings of national conventions, the two candi dates immediately were notitied in formally of their nomination, and in the mid: i of deafening ch.<ers appear ed before the delegates to voice their acceptance and to pledge their best eiloits to the coining campaign. Doth nominations had been made by acclamation amid stormy scenes of en thusiasm. The convention had been in session since in o'clock in the morn ing '1 lie delay in making the nomina tions was caused by exhaustive discus sions over tlie platform in the commit tee on resolutions. Col. Koosevelt was putin nomina tion by Comptroller William A. I'ren dergast of New York, and the nomina tion had been seconded by Judge John 11. Parker of New Orleans, Miss Jane Addatns of Hull House, Chicago; Alex ander T. Hamilton of Georgia, Gen. Horatio C. King of New York, Col. T. P. Floyd of Florida, Gen. John 11. Mc- Dowell of Tennessee, Henry J. Allen < 112 Kansas, ex-Gov. Garvin of Rhode Is land. John J. Sullivan of Ohio and Ilo bert S. Fisher of Arizona. Gov.

Frederick 1-andis of Indiana, Raymond Robbing of Illinois, Gilford Pinchot of Pennsylvania, (iov. Vesey of South Dakota, William Flinn of Pennsylvania and John H. Clede, negro, of New York. The nomination speech by Comp troller William A. Prendergast of the New York delegation was the first event of the day's session to arouse the convention. Short as it was, it was interrupted scores of times by cheers and applause. Prendergast did not make the mistake of assuming that his was to be a "keynote" speech, and he knew he was talking of a man whoso achievementswerefamiliar tothe dele gates as to the public at large. He hardly had begun when his words brought the convention to its feet with the waving of thousands of bandannas. whose red flare made the hall seem to be aflame. "We have arrived at the crowning act of the convention," Prendergast began. The crowd did not let him get any further for several minutes. When he was permitted to resume he said: "This great gathering owes its being to a mighty protest by the American people against those who have poison ed the wells of democracy. It repre sents the martial spirit of mankind, that from an immemorial time has charged back upon those who would place obstacles in the way of the march of human progress." There was another great shout when Prendergast, near the end of his ad dress, spoke of Roosevelt, saying: "My candidate is the man courageous of American politics. Where the in terests of the people are menaced he has known no fear and asked 110 quar ter." in the wild hurly-burly that followed the nominating speech by Prender gast. New York led a march around the hall, which eventually included delegates from all the States. Timothy L. Woodruff and William H. Hotch kiss. the Progressive State chairman, led the procession. After a little while the drum and life corps of the civil war veterans, which had been station ed on the speaker's platform, fell into line, playing like mad, and this tumult was kept up until, from sheer exhaus tion. the men and women were com pelled to cease yelling and waving. Col. Roosevelt, arm in arm with Gov. Johnson, appeared before the convention, and they were greeted with the wildest plaudits—a very bed lam of n demonstration —and formally accepted the nomination. When'the cheers that greeted the close of Roosevelt's speech subsided Chairman Beveridge introduced Gov ernor Johnson, who pledged himself to aid Colonel Roosevelt in the "fight for the common good" and concluded: "I had rather go down to defeat with Theodore Roosevelt than to vic tory with any other Presidential can didate." When Johnson finished Beveridge announced <hat the convention would end its session by singing the Doxol ogy and by listening to lie benedic tion by the Rev. James Goodman. The delegates, standing in their places, joined in the chanting of the old Puritan hyinn. As it died away the Rev. Mr. Goodman stepped for ward and invoked the Divine blessing. Then Chairman Beveridge, stepping to the front of the platform, announc ed the adjournment cf the convention "without day." EUGENE E. SCHMITZ Former Mayor Kugene K.

Philadelphia, Aug. 7.—Crushed and horrified by the tragic suicide of his son, Colonel Gibbons Gray Cornwell, who s-iiot oil the lop of his head while a passenger on a Pennsylvania train drawing into the West Philadelphia station to escape facing a charge oi embezzling trust funds, Captain K T. Cornwell, his aged father, is in a criti cal condition following a collapse and may die of shock. Accountants, going over the books of the estates the sui cide managed, believe there will be a shortage of at least ,$125,000. It may total $-00,000. When news of the suicide was brok en to the father, a Civil War veteran and one of the best known and best liked citizens of Philadelphia, he had just completed, arrangt ments for hav ' ing his son released on bail as soon as lie arrived from New York, where he had been arrested. Mr Cornwell, whose nerves had been shaken by the I confession of his son to him some ; days before, that he was short in his accounts, toppled over when he heard I the report. He is under the care of a physician. He is the senior member of ! the law firm of which his son was a partner, and is more than eighty years l old. Before Colonel Cornwell, who was attached to the Sixth Regiment of the National Guard of Pennsylvania, shot himself, he scribbled a brief farewell note to his wife and inclosed $-00 in an envelope with it. He handed it to William Mullen, the constable accom panying him from New York. A few seconds later he suddenly thrust a pearl handle revolver given to him by officers of his regiment into his mouth, the shot carrying away the .roof of his head. Death was instantaneous. That Colonel Cornwell had been short in his accounts was alleged a week ago, after an examination of the estate of Mrs. Alice Parschall Rariing ton Derrick. An investigation made of other accounts under his care also, it is stated, showed shortages. Colonel Cornwell, after going away to camp with his regiment, mysteriously disap peared from it. last Wednesday and was arrested in Manhattan. At Broad way and Twenty-second street Genera! George R. Dyer, one time head of the Twelfth Regiment, accused him as a man who had sold him bonds he did not own and caused his arrest. He agreed togo to Philadelphia without the formality of extradition.
