2 rdosevelt gib TREMENDOUS RECEPTION Bull Moose Convention Was in Frenzy for 55 Minutes After His Arrival. Continued From Page One. Chairman Beveridge, the < oinmiitn- I you appointed yesterday afternoon i- i r»ady to report, and the guest of the j convention has arrived." Pandemonium followed. The whole | house sprang to its feet and began | shouting. It was only a moment unit! I the colonel came forward, then the din increased a thousand fold. Between John C. Shaffer and ex-Gov- | »rnor Fanklin Fort. Roosevelt stepped | to the front of the stage. Everj one I sprang up and the demonstration was! in full swing The veteran drum and fife corps took > up the noise. Roosevelt turned and I saw them. His teeth displaying n I -mile, showed and he waved his hand in a cordial invitation The drum corps members stepped to the front of the stage. Roosevelt shook their hands. Then, while he smiled and boned to the cheering, yelling crowd, the drummers played for him, but no one could tell what they were playing on account of the noise. General John V. McDowell, an <X- Confederate soldier, made his nay to the stand and before the enthusiastic multitude grasped the hand of tin ex president. T. R Asks Drum Corps to Play “Dixie.” Roosevelt turned to the drummer hoys. "Dixie," be yelled The drum corps played Dixie and the colonel himself led the cheering. As the crowd cheered, Roosevelt smiled and waved his arms in .strenuous and enthusiastic appreciation of the din. A march of the states began. Ohio, New York, Missouri and Pennsylvania. In the order named, started a march to the platform with their state ban ners and markers. Other states fell into line, ami it seemed a* if some thing must give way as they crowded and surged about the very front of the speaker’s stand, Arizona. Montana, lowa and Georgia were 1n the front ami Delaware. Virginia and Colorado were crowding them. While the demonstration was at its height a woman, borne on the shoulders of two stalwart delegates, was taken past the press stand anil In front of the speaker's stand. The woman was Mrs Ferdinand White, of Chicago. She wore a long yellow “votes for women" streamer pinned across the bosom of her white dress. She smiled and seemed happy, and as she was carried past the speak er's stand she looked into the face of the former president and screamed: ■Teddy! Toddy!" Teddy Waves a Red Bandanna. As the cheering eased up shortly aft er 1 o'clock the colonel drew a red ban danna from bis pocket and waved it. The crowd could make no more noise, but it could wave more handkerchiefs, and it did. When the demonstration had lasted fifteen minutes the crowd began sing ing "John Brown." For a little while the rolling clamor of the song nearly drowned out th. cheering. Rut not quite. The crowd had to give way to a gtored-up enthusiasm that was too great for musu , and in spite of the ryhthmteal swing of the music there was a staccato of handclapping and a booming accompaniment of cheers. Over it all some one started the old rebel yell, and it shrilled above the ginging, shouting and blaring brass. In a momentary lull the mooing of the moose could be heard as the un dertone of the noisy demonstration. At the front of the hall were grouped a half dozen state standards, a dozen banners and a number of flags. On the platform back of Colonel Roosevelt oth er flags were waved. “We Want Teddy” Yell Appears Again. As the singing died down the "We Want Toddy" yell, the keynote of the long demonstration for Roosevelt at the Republican convention, brok. forth and kept up in all parts of the building Miss Jane Addams, Illinois delegate at-large. wa« lifted to the speaker's stand. As she appeared there was a renewed burst of cheers and Roosevelt stepped ft <.m the "moose pen." in which he had been standing, and strode forth to meet her. Perhaps the two heard what they said to each other. Certainly no one two feet away could have distinguished I a word. Then the band got it- part in the demon-t ration. "Onward.

He evi dently thought tlie time bad come when It might be possible to hear Roosevelt’s speech. The crowd did not think so. The noise came back Chairman Beveridge hammered for older, but he smiled, and with every blow of tile gavel the cheering in creased. Ihe California gilded grizzly was taken to tlie stand. "He's a bear." played the band. After the yelling had gone on for 35 minuten. Chairmap Beveridge made a determined effort to restore order, it seemd as though the raps of his gavel were only signals to loose more noise. W hile tlie muse was just a little less in volume than it had been, delegates started a new song "Follow, follow, we will follow Roose velt," it went. When It had been sung through. Bev eridge tried again to quiet the noise. Bang! went the gavel. W hoop-w ee-rah went the crowd. 1 hey weie still ready for more noise. The mechanical whistle that hail sounded its "toot, toot” at the Republi can convention while Hie steam roller was running over the Roosevelt men injected itself into the proceedings at this point. It brought a little ripple of merriment that disturbed—but only barely—the volume of sound. Demonstration Breaks Long Distance Records. When the demonstration had lasted 45 minutes still the noise continued, breaking all records, even that for W. .1. Bryan at Denver. The woman who led tlie Roosevelt demonstration at the Republican con vention (Mrs. W A Davis) was in the gallery behind tlie speaker's stand. The California, bear was carried to her and she rose and waved a red bandanna. She was escorted to the stand to meet Roosevelt and lie gripped her hand en thusiastically. Beveridge hammered the table again —three big resounding whacks and again the cheering redoubled. He turned to the colonel, spreading his hands in an attitude of helplessness and resignation as one who would say: "What can I do with this mob The colonel smiled.

I 'inally—just five minutes less than an bom from the time the noise started, the sergeant at arms was ordered to clear 'he aisle.-. Then there was the usual pause for tin photographers. The colonel ami Beveridge, standing logethbr, faced the camera ami waited the flash. Chairman Beveridge again called for order, and he got it. “Gentlemen of the convention." lie said; "the hour and the man—Theo dore Roosevelt.” Then the colonel made his sei speech. Roosevelt Sounds Real Party Keynote. Mr. Roosevelt's speech struck a key note for his followers and supporters in the new party. It laid down the plan of battle to be waged by the National Progressive party. He discussed those principles under twelve subdivisions, namely, “The Helplessness of the old Parties;” “The Right of the People to Rule;” “The Courts and the People;*’ “Constructive Control of the Trusts:” “Rights of the Wage-Worker;” “’rhe Farmer. I’he Tariff:'' “The High Cost of Living;’’ “Currency;” “Conservation;” “Alaska ami International Affairs.” ‘’The two old parties,” he “are husks, with no real soul within either, divided on artificial lines, boss-ridden and privilege-controlled, each a jumble of in congruous elements, and neither daring to speak out wisely and fearlessly what should be said on the vital issues of the day ” As opposed to this Incongruity and in sincerity of action, he asserted that the National Progressive platform will bi» a “contract with the people." with definite and concrete provisions to be carried out if the people ratify the contract on elec tion day as exactly ami honestly “as if it were actually enforceable under the law.” Neithei the Republican nor the Dem ocratic platforms or managers show any adequate recognition of the mighty fact “that we are now in the midst of a great economic evolution. ‘'Democrats Lack Sense, Republicans Honesty. ’ ’ The Democratic party, as Is indicated by its present record in congress, lacks the common sense, and the Republican party, by its record of stolen delegates at the Chicago convention, lacks the eth ical standards. "The men who presided over the Chi cago and Baltimore conventions, and the great bosses who controlled the two eon-, ventions Mr. Root and Mr. Parker, Mr. Barnes and Mr. Murphy. Mr. Penrose and Mr. Taggart.

"The actions of the Chicago convention, an.l to an only less degree of the Balti more convention, have shown in striking fashion how little the people do rule under our present conditions In order to assure this popular rule Mr. Roosevelt urg.tl the adoption of presidential pri maries. popular election of senators, the short ballot, an efficient corrupt practices act. qualified use of the initiative, refer endum. and recall.

Referring to the opening sentence of his address, namely, “that we are now in the midst of a great economic evolu tion,” Mr. Roosevelt said: Justice For Wage Workers. “The first charge upon the industrial statesmanship of the day is to prevent human waste. The dead weight of* or phanage ami depleted craftsmanship, of erippled workers and workers suffering from trade diseases, of casual labor, of insecure old age. and of household deple tion due to industrial conditions are, like our depleted .soils, our gashed mountain sides and Hooded river bottoms, so many strains upon the national structure, drain ing the reserve strength of all indus tries. and showing beyond all peradven ture the public element and public con cern in industrial health." He propor <’d several specific methods for preserving and improving “our human resources, and therefore our labor power." Wage scales and other labor data should be made public; all deaths, injuries and diseases due to industrial operation should be reported to the authorities; wage com missions should be established in the na i tion and state to detennine the minimum ! wage scale in different industries; the | I Federal government should investigate all I I industries with a view to establishing I standards of sanitation and safety; there | should be mine and factory inspection ac- j ; cording to standards fixed by interstate agreement or by the Federal govern ment. Compensation for Industrial Accidents. National and state legislation should establish standards of compensation foj industrial accidents and’ deaths and for diseases clearly due to industrial condi tions: for the adoption by law of a fair standard of compensation for casualties resulting fatallv which shall clearly fix the minimum compensation in all cases; ; 1 the monetary equivalent of a living wage* I varies according to local conditions, bui i should be sufficiently high to make mor ' ality possible and to provide for educa tion, recreation, proper care of the chil dren. maintenance during sickness ami I reasonable saving for old age: excessive I ' hours of labor should l»e prohibited for all | ,! wag. -workers and night labor of women and children should be forbidden: one day of rest in s« von should be provided by law. continuous t went'- four-hour labor should be divided into three shifts < f eight hours by law ; tenement house man- J ufaciure should be entirely prohibited and I labor camps should be subject to gov- • rnmental sanitary regulation; all Indus- ( ! trit s employ ing women anal children ’ should be specially subject to govern- I I ment inspection and regulation; insurance j I funds against sickness, accident, invalid- I ism ami old age should he established by I a charge t-uher in whole or in part upon! the iiutuslrit* suffrage should be grained io women, if for no ether reason than to enable workingwomon to combine for their own protection by the use of I t h«> balloi.

Crowd Slow in Filling Coliseum. Although this was Roosevelt day at the National Progressive convention, when the doors of the Coliseum were thrown open at 11 o'clock, the crowd outside numbered hundreds instead of thousands. Outside a number of curious persons, evidently not holders of tickets, waited to see Theodore Roosevelt make his en try into the building. Before the convention was called to order, venders of popcorn and similar "delicacies” were allowed to circulate through the galleries. The veteran drum corps that took a prominent part in yesterday's proceedings was on hand early. They struck up before the band got busy. The Texas delegation prepared for to day’s session by bringing in a big I American flag that was fastened to their state standard at the very front of the convention hall. Delaware had a new sign fastened above its seats, it bore the legend: "Delaware Progressives—Watch Us Grow." Fifteen minutes before noon, the time when the session was scheduled to be gin not more than 50 delegates had come into the hall. Roosevelt Parade Starts Enthusiasm. It was just at noon when the blare of bands was heard outside the con- I vent ion hall and a Roosevelt parade ar- I rived. The band streamed through the door and circulated around the hall, playing lustily. When they reached the back of the hall under the Roosevelt picture, they began playing "Every body's Doin' It." Before they had completed, another band was heard outside, • The delegates then came in rapidly, and the hall, which had been empty a few minutes before, was crowded. The delegates caught the enthusiasm, and there were lusty yells and waving ban- I ners. As the matching musicians stopped playing, the tegular convention band at the back of the hall struck up. Women were even more numerous at [ today’s session than at the ushering in of the new party. Temporary Chairman Beveridge ar rive,' a little after noon. He took his nlace on the platform.

Continued From Page One partner. to go to Birmingham and re cover the hidden jewels, according to statements made by the Pinkertons to day. It was then that the contract, agreeing that Gober and Jackson should be paid for assisting in the prosecu tion, was drawn up and signed. It was especially stipulated that the firm should have the privilege of defending Wren, the firm thus occupying the pe culiar situation of prosecuting two par ties to a theft and defending the third. Kaul and Roddy pleaded guilty and re ceived sentences of one year. Wren forfeited his bond and is still at large. The Pinkerton National Detective agency stated today that its grievance was against Jackson and not against Gober. It did not know Gober in the matter of recovering or concealing the jewels. But the warrant sworn out by Detective J. H. Doyal bore the names of "Gober & Jackson, a firm composed of George F. Gober and R. R. Jackson. 708-10' Third National Bank building,” and commanded the detectives to “en ter these offices and find certain jewels believed to have been feloniously stolen and carried away.” Says He Found Kaul’s Address. It was stated that when Chief Lan ford and others went to the law of fices the jewels were at once produced from the safe and surrendered to them without trouble. That Gober was not only acting for Wren, but was familiar with the where abouts of Kaul, another of the trio, was stated by Chief Lanford. He said that in Birmingham he looked into a memo randum book owned by Gober ami found there the address of Kaul, who was then at large in New York state. Gober asked at that time whether he (Gober) would “get anything out of it.” says Chief Lanford. The chief says Gober promised to assist in the prose cution and did not do so. Gober Attacks Chief Lanford. Judge Gober was vigorous in his de nunciation of the Pinkertons and the local detectives. He said that Lanford came to him and wanted the evidence suppressed until an anticipated $4,000 reward should be forthcoming from the jewelers union. He asserted that the jewelry in Jackson's office was held as a retainer for his fee due him from the jewelers union, which had not been paid. He said the jewels were not worth more than S3OO or S4OO. As to the contract with the Pinker tons. Judge Gober says he did not sign it. The contract shown the reporter bears the name of R. R. Jackson only. Judge Gober says the contract stipu lated that he should turn over to the detectives what jewels he could “lay his hands on" and that this was chang ed without his knowledge to "all the jewels stolen by Wrenn.” and this was signed by Jackson in the absence o's Gober. The contract shown the reporter had this clause in different typewriter ink from the remainder of the contract, but the Pinkertons said this change was made to "save the face" of the law firm Horn appearing to “double-cross its clients." SMITH NOT IN GOBER FIRM. Attorney William M. Smith, who fot rnerly was connected with tlie firm of Gober & Jackson, desires to state that his connection wits severed with the firm some months ago. By inadver tence the name of the firm was given as Gober. Jackson & Smith. PITTSBURGER CANDIDATE TO HEAD EAGLES LODGE ' I.EX ELAND. Aug. 6.- William .1.

HOL MT CITED IN SENATE Jones Replies to Great Britain’s Protest Against Free Pas sage of American Ships. WASHINGTON. Aug. 6.—Senator Wesley L. Jones, of Washington, a Re publican, made a striking speech in the senate yesterday on the responsibili ties and duties of the United States in connection with the Panama canal. The speech was called forth by Great Brit ain s protest against the bid allowing American ships free passage through the canal. Senator Jones upheld the right oi the Lnited States to govern and con trol the Panama canal, chided other members of the senate for expressing a contrary view, and said if he felt as some of his colleagues do he would never admit it on the floor of the sen ate or in public, but only would give utterance to such beliefs during execu tive session within the secret walls of the chamber. Senator Jones' interpretation of the early British-American treaty is that the United States and Great Britain, neither knowing who was to construct the canal, simply bound themselves tc protect the builders of the canal from unjust confiseation. He referred to the Clayton-Buiwer pact and the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and said: Refers to Other Nations. “It is plain to me." referring to pro-' hibition against blockades and the pro hibition of war rights, "that this rule refers to nations other than the United States. “When the United States says the canal shall be free and open to all vessels of commerce and war observ ing the rules, it is the «atne As a ferry- ' man saying all persons paying 25 cehts would be transported across his stream There is nothing that makes it a dis crimination against any of these na tions to allow American ships to go thro.ugh the canal on different terms any more than it would be if the ferry man took himself across his own fern free of charge. ' “No one disputes our title and no one can dispute it. Over it flies the flag of the republic representing the sov ereignty and proprietorship of the na tion just as it represents that sover eignty and proprietorship over anv other territory belonging to the United ‘ states. "It Is Our Canal.” "Through and across the strip of territory and wholly within its limits " e are building with our people's money and will soon have eompletd a great canal through which will pass much of the world's commerce. This canal will be built by us and by our money. It will be operated by u= We will protect it. It is ours. Our nation owns it. It will be built through our territory. Can we say how we stiall use it? “This is the question which meets us at the threshold in this bill. I have no doubt as to what the American people think about it. There is no doubt as to their answer to the question; in fact, they are very likely to be surprised that such a question should arise. It has never entered their minds that this government could not use its own prop erty and deal with its own people as it san fit, \i ithout asking the consent of anv other government or people.” Gov. Johnson To Be T. R.’s Running Mate * CHICAGO, Aug. fi.—"Colonel Roose velt can have anything he wants from the Progressive party, and therefore Goternor Hiram \V. Johnson, of Cal ifornia. will be nominated tomorrow as the ex-president's running mate. Gov ernor Johnson is a fighting man, and with two fighting men at the head of the ticket the Progressive party will be able to wa.te the most aggressive campaign ever witnessed in American politics.” Tlie vice presidential situation was > thus outlined today by one of the most prominent leaders of the new party He added that at first Colonel Roose velt had favored tlie nomination of a Southern Democrat, but after a long conference with his advisers had decid ed that it would be good polities to name the vice president from the Far West this year. Colonel John M. Par ker. of Louisiana, and Luke E. Wright of Tennessee, both candidates, had been the men favored by the colonel. The decision that Governor Johnson was the best man for the job was reached early today after a long night conference. Governor Johnson was no. titled that he had been decided upon, r He stated that if he were needed he' would accept. A protest is expected from the California delegation, but the members will be told that it will not be necessary for the governor to re sign unless elected to the higher of fice. Friends of Judge Ben B. Lindsay were disappointed today when they learned that their candidate had been shelved but at the same time declared their in tention of supporting the ticket, how ever made up. .
