Moose Convention in Pandemo
nium for Fifty-five Minutes
When Chief Arrives.
COLONEL SOUNDS HIS
“KEYNOTE” IN DETAIL
Tells Just What New Party
Stands for and What It
Hopes to Do.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.—A1l busi
ness was halted at the National
Progressive convention today
•while 10.000 delegates and spec
tators cheered Roosevelt. The
demonstration was the longest
and most remarkable ever seen at
a convention in the United States.
It was remarkable not only for the
enthusiasm displayed but for the
prominent part taken by women.
It was a demonstration for wom
an’s suffrage as well as for the
Progressive leader.
Mrs. Ferdinand White, of Chicago,
was carried by the speakers stand be T
fore the ex-president crying “We want
Teddy,” and various women’s suffrage
leaders, including Miss Jane Addatns,
of Chilcago, and Mrs. Beatrice Saun
derland. of Los Angeles, were lifted to
the platform and there welcomed by the
colonel. Other women delegates fol
lowed these and received the same
hearty greeting.
The demonstration for Colonel Roose
velt broke all records for duration, last
ing 55 minutes, or ten minutes longer
than that for W. J. Bryan at Denver,
When the demonstration ended, the
former president at once delivered his
speech, christening the new organiza
tion the “National Progressive party.”
It was the first time the name of the
organization was spoken,, and it was
greeted with cheers.
Beveridge Gets a
Big Ovation.
Thirty-nine minutes after the Na
tional Progressive convention was
scheduled to meet today ex-Senator
Beveridge called the gathering to or
der.
A demonstration greeted the Hoosier
chairman as he took the gavel. For
several minutes he stood bowing and
smiling, while the cheering continued.
Rev. Mr. Spetz, of St. Stanislaus
church, Chicago, was introduced by the
chairman to deliver the invocation. Im
ploring divine guidance for the con
vention very briefly, Mr. Spetz led the
convention in the Lord's prayer In clos
ing the invocation.
Mrs. Roosevelt and her daughter
Ethel were interested observers of the
convention proceedings.
In spite of the enthusiasm that
marked the convention’s opening, it
was evident that the delegates were
waiting for another attraction. It was
Roosevelt day.
The vast audience, 10,000 people,
joined in singing "America.” The song
rolled out in a vast volume of sound
that seemed to give vent to the pent
up enthusiasm of the people in the hall.
After the singing, a shrill shout,
“Hurrah for Teddy!” went up. While
the convention still waited for Roose
velt the crowd sang “Dixie” and as the
great volume of sound went up Colo
nel Roosevelt arrived at the door of
the hall.
“Gentlemen of the convention." said

JUDGEGOBEB
■DWS
TO OOM
TOE HUE
—W. D. ELLIS, JR.
Assistant City Attorney De
clares City Has No Com
plaint Against Him.
JEWEL CASE WILL
BE HEARD NEXT WEEK
Safe From Which Stolen Gems
Were Recovered Was in R.
R. Jackson’s Office.
Judge George F. Gober, of the law
firm of Gober & Jackson, was declared
by N. A. Lanford, chief of detectives,
and by W. D. Ellis, Jr., attorney for
the detective department, to be abso
lutely clear of any charges in connec
tion with the case brought by detec
tives against Robert R. Jackson, in
connection with the retention and con
cealing of certain jewels said to have
been stolen from Solomon Gilsey and
recovered from one of the thieves by
Jackson.
The case came up this afternoon for
hearing before Justice Ridley, but at
the request of the detectives was con
tinued, until Wednesday, August 14.
in order that a witness might be
brought from Philadelphia.
John Tye, counsel for Judge Gober,
declared that it was his client’s desire
that the case be taken up at once, that
he might be exonerated of the charges,
in view of sensational publications,
and particularly an unfounded reflec
tion on a member of his family. He
maintained that Judge Gober had no
connection with the case.
John D. Kilpatrick, attorney for Mr.
Jackson, said that Judge Gober had no
connection with the case. W. D. Ellis.
Jr., acting for the city, insisted on con
tinuing the ease, but announced in open
court that no charge lay against Judge
Gober. Chief Lanford stated also that
it was not at his instance that the
name of Judge Gober had appeared in
the public prints.
The jewels were not taken from
Judge Gober's office. They were in a
safe in the office of Mr. Jackson.
Judge Gober’s
Friends Indignant.
The statement published this morn
ing and credited to Chief Lanford of
the detective department, that two jew
eled earrings from the loot taken from
the thieves had been presented to Judge
Gober’s daughter, is absolutely untrue.
Friends of Judge Gober cite his long
record on the bench and at the bar in
Georgia and attach little importance to
the charges made against him. They
are extremely bitter against the At
lanta detectives and the Pinkerton men
who have brought the charges against
his law partner and incidentally
against him.
George F. Gober had for many years
been solicitor general and then supe
rior court judge of the Blue Ridge cir
cuit. A few months ago lie opened a
law office in Atlanta, and was asso
ciated with Robert R. Jackson, a former
Justice of the peace.

AITCHISON FLAGGED;
JOHNS TO THE RESCUE
By \V. S. Farnsworth.
PONCE DE LEON BALL PARK, Aug.
6.—The Crackers won from the Billikens
here today.
The Crackers tallied the first run of
the game. In the second Inning, with
two down. Callahan and Lyons doubled
in succession, which is a good way to
score.
The Bills came back in the next in
ning with a pair. On a walk, a sacrifice,
an error, a single and some sleepy work
on Agler’s part, McAlister and Elberfeld
were shoved over the plate.
In the fourth the visitors got another.
A blow labeled “too hot to handle" was
sent thirdward, the runner going to sec
ond on the hit-and-run, and scoring on
a screeching single
In their hair of the fifth the Crackers
tied it up. Callahan singled and went to
1 second on Stingle’s error of the blow.
Lyons was passed, and on Becker’s sacri
fice both runners advanced. Callahan was
caught at the plate on Agler’s grounder,
but Lyons went to third and Agler on
• first. Bailey smashed out a hit for two
bases on which the runners ahead of him
tallied, tying up the game.
THE GAME.
FIRST INNING.
Hallman, first man to face Becker,
dropped a lucky short single down the
third base line and easily beat McEl
veen's throw. Reynolds pegged to Alper
man, turning Hallman back on. his pil
fer trip. Elberfeld raised a long fly to
Lyons. Agler played a lone hand with
Johnson's roller down first base line.
. NO RUNS.
Aitchlson could not locate the plate, and
Agler drew transportation, a thing not
I unusual with the Cracker lead-off man.
. Bailey did the proper stunt by sacrific
ing Agler to the midway. It was a pret
ty bunt that Elwert tossed to Danzig
Alperman hoist to Stingle in short center.
Danzig ran nearly down to second and
smothered Harbison's pop-up. NO RUNS.
SECOND INNING.
Bailey made a sweet running catch of
Elwert's line drive to deep left. Stingle
was patient and drew a walking ticket.
Callahan was under Wares ballooner to
‘ center. Danzig took three mighty swings
: and did the Casey. NO RUNS.
McAlister pulled down Reynolds’ puz
zling foul ...use to the stands. Elberfeld
threw out McElveen on a fast and snappy
play. Callahan poked a double down
the right field foul line. Lyons jammed
' the ball nearly to the scoreboard for a
two-bagger that sent Callahan home with
the first run of the game. Becker died
on strikes. ONE RUN.
THIRD INNING.
Becker failed to put a single ball over
the base for McAlister, who took the easy
route to first. Aitchlson dropped a sacri
fice, and Becker tossed it to Alperman,
who covered first. Alperman backed out
into right field and grabbed Hallman's
lift. Elberfeld laced a single over second,
and McAlister cashed a run. Elberfeld
started to steal second, but Becker saw
him going down. Agler, however, was
asleep, and didn’t see Becker's peg. and
when the rolled to the right field
bleachers the kid tore all around the bases
and across the plate. It was fine "dopy”
work on Agler s part. Johnson went to
first over the four-ball route. Callahan
did not have to move a step for Elwert's
drive to center. TWO RUNS.
Aitchison made a pretty one-hand stab
of Agler’s hot shot and threw to Dan
zig. Elberfeld speared Bailey’s liner with
. one hand. Alperman was winged on the
shoulder by a fast inshoot and tottered
to first. Alperman and Aitchlson got
into a talking duel that finally ended by
Alpegman being caught off first, Aitchison
to Danzig to Wares. NO RUNS.
FOURTH INNING.
Alperman made a lightning fast play
of Stingle’s grass cutter and Agler fin
ished the Job. Wares’ hard lick down
third base line was too hot for McElveen
to handle,' although knocked It down and
held it to a single. On the hit-and-run,
1 Wares moved up to second, while Agler
took care of the batter's drive down first
base line. McAlister singled through the
box, scoring Wares. It would have been I
an easy assist for Becker had he made |
an attempt to play the ball. Aitchison i
took the full count on strikes. ONE
RUN.
■ Harbison walked. Reynolds fiied to
' Hallman. McElveen raised to Johnson,
and Harbison must have been dreaming,
for he tore around the bases, and was
■ easily doubled at first, when Johnson
I tossed to Danzig. NO RUNS.
FIFTH INNING.
Callahan made a nice running stab of
I Hallman’s hard drive to center Agler
pulled in Elberfeld's roller and beat "the
: i kid” to the bag. Johnson hit high and
far, but Callahan was on the job. NO
RUNS.
Callahan flushed a single to center and
; kept right on to second when Stingle let
I the ball get away from him. Lyons was
walked. Aitchison failing to get a single
ball over the plate. Becker dropped a
nice sacrifice pop in front of the plate
that shoved the runners up a notch each
i and died himself. Aitchison to Wares,
; who covered first. Aitchison fielded Ag
ler’s grounder in pretty fashion and threw
to McAlister, nailing Callahan at the
plate. Lyons moved up to third on the
play. Bailey was on the job with a two
base smash to right that scored Lyons and
Agler. Bailey could have easily made
1 third, but pulled up at the midway. El-

I ALDERMAN CANDLER
CALLS MEMBERS OF
COUNCIL “SHIRKERS”
Aiderman John S. Candler declared
: on the floor of council yesterday that
the trouble with Atlanta’s city govern
-1 ment was that councilmen shirked their
duties, intrusting them to boards and
commissions.
The declaration followed some sharp
repartee between Aiderman Candler
and Aiderman F. J. Spratling. Aider
man Spratling, who is chairman of the
council committee on hospitals, wanted
to take $3,000 and begin the construc
tion of a $25,000 nurses dormitory for
the city tuberculosis sanitarium. When
he was ready to let the contract he
found that the $3,000 item in the budget
could not be spent until February, 1913,
when the entire amount would be pro
vided. As Aiderman Candler is chair
man of the finance committee, Aider
man Spratling wanted to know from
him why “such strings were tied to the
apportionment."
The whole matter was referred to the
finance committee.
