[ g0, Aug. 5—The first session of the first convention of the new nation- Bl progressive party, of which Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is sponsor, was held in the Coliseum today and while “hi the setting was attended by all of the usual ceremony and parapherna- Jia of a national political gathering, the actual proceedings were suggestive of a love feast. State Delegations Happy. Not a dissenting voice was raised Buring the session. The question of egro representation from the south ad caused friction earlier in the day n the nationa]l committee but there vas no echo of thie fight on the floor ®f the convention. The delegates were t times explosive in their enthusiasm. &.n of the state delegations came in- go the hall singing and shouting and three hours later left the building In ghe same happy frame of mind. Although green hands were suppos- ®d to be at the helm, the machinery of the convention worked smoothly and efficiently. There was no roll call of Pelegates, but the delegate section of ghe floor, arranged in the same man- er as at the republican national con- ¥entlon a few weeks ago ahd accom- iodating nea 1,100 people, was en- tirely filled. The alternate eection al- B0 had its full quota Delayed in Beginning. Work of the national committee on ontested delegate cases caused a de- {n‘ of nearly three quarters of an hour n the assembling of the comvention. Juring the wait the delegates amused themselves with songs and yells com- posed. for the occasion while a band up near the flag draped steel rafters &nd a Grand Army fife and drum corps oo the stage, vied with each other in playing patriotic airs. Benator Beveridge Temporary Chair- man. There was a great cheer as Sena- for Joseph M. Dixon, national chair- man of the party, rapped for order. This was repeated later when the call for the convention was read and there was even greater enthusiasm when formere Senator Albert J. Beveridge of Indiana was presented as the choice of the national committee fo rtempo- pary chairman. The formality of elect- ing Senator Beveridge was not nec- essary and afid renewed acclaim he was escorted to a place on the stage, decorated with a gold badge and Manded the convention gaval. Advanced Ideas of Government. Senator Beveridge then delivered his keynote speech. He spoke for more than an hour and a half, expressing some of the advanced ideas of gov- ernment adopted by the new party and paving the way for the even more progressive proposals to be made to the convention by Colonel Roosevelt tomorrow. The tempofary chafrman was given the clogest attention throughout.. Once he mentioned President Taft in con- nection with his approval of the Pavne tariff lanw and instantly there came a storm of jeers and groans from the crowd. Frequently Senator Bev- eridge was intcrupted by applaus and cheering. X Water Wagon Advocate. | Throughout Senator Beveridge's | #peech a persistent spectator in the | #gallery interrupted several times with the shout “How about the liquir ques- tion ' Beveridge ignored him and there were shouts of ut him out The former senator from Indiana made a most courteous presiding of- ficer and once when a premature mo- tion to adjourn was made, e begged pardon of the delegate for mot recog- Bizing him at time, promising at- tention a Ii later in the se Committes to Invite the Candidate. The usual standing committees were appointed in the usual way and then before the first day’s proceedings were brought to a close, James R. GArfeld, of Ohio, moved the appointment of a commitfee of fitteen to invite Colonel Roosevelt to appear before the conven- tion at noon tomorrow. The motion was carried with & whoop and tonight, with due ceremony, he formally ac- cepted. Colonel Roosevelt not being a dele- gate did not attend the opening ses- sion. He spent much of the afternoon motoring. Votes For Women Banner. A decided feature of the convention was the large number of women dele- gates. This called forth great cheer- ing when the temporary chairman reached that part of his speech advo- cating suffrage. A big yellow banner inscribed “Votes for Women” was hung from one of the balcony rails. Massachusetts gave one of her women delegates a place on the resolutions committee which will draft the party platform. “Confession of Faith.” . Tomorrow's session of the conven- tion promises to be largely one of speech-making, with Colonel Roose- velt’s “confession of faith” as the cel ter of interest. The adoption of a platfotm and the nomination of presi- dental and vice presidential candi- dates will come Wednesday, followed by adjournment that evening. Tonight the various committees of the convention held sessions at the Coliseum and st the headquarters ho- tel. Bull Moose and Bandanna. One form of demonstrative approval adopted by the .delegates today was in imitation of the call of the bull moose, & long “moo.” The head of a bull moose was one of the prominent decorations in the hall and many of the delegates’ songs were in praise of the moose. The red bandanna had its prominent place in the day's proceed- ings too. Almost all of the delegates were equipped with them and when they were waved, the floor was & sea of red. CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR FOR VICE PRESIDENT NOMINEE Place Virtually Assured—Judge Ben Lindsey Unable to Serv. Pe manent Chairman. Chicago, Aug. 5.—Gov. Hiram W. Johnson of California seemed agreed upon tonight as the vice presidential nomtnee of the national progressive party to make the first fight of the new political organization with Col- onel Roosevelt, Harly in the evening Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Denver, a former democrat, had been agreed upon as permanent chajrman of the convention. Colonel Roosevelt had endorsed the recommen- dation of Judge Lindsey and the plan had been enthusiastically approved by the delegates. Late tonight, however, Judge Lindsey called on the colonel and had a long talk with him, He sald he had been suffering from asth- ma and did not feel physically capable of taking up the work, Under the eir- cumstances Colonel Roosevelt agreed to release him and while it had net | becn finally decided it was ssid to be likety that former Senator Albert J, Beveridge of Indiana, the temporar: chairman, would be continued as per- manent presiding officer. Colonel Roosevelt gald before he |left Oyster Bay that he, favored the | selection of a southern democrat as | vice presidential candidate. The field was canvassed carefully by leaders of the new party, and it is understood that the Colonel's suggestion was abandoned only when it became evi- | dent that it was impossible to decide upon the avallable man. It was said tonight that sentiment among the {lel- egates in favor of Governor Johrson was so strong that his choice as Col- onel Roosevelts running mate was virtually assured.

After full discussion in the general committee, the plan of the leaders to- night was'to appoint a sub-committee of seven to confer with Colonel Roose- velt and to work out the platform with him. . Soon after the committee met to- night the draft of a tentative plat- form was presented by a group of leaders in the new movement. The draft was said to express the com- bined ideas of Dean Leads of the law sc¢hool of the University of Pennsyl- vania; Dean Kirciyvay of the law school of Columbia University; Gif- ford Pinchot, Chester Rowell of Cali- fornia, Charles McCarthy of the leg- islative reference bureau at the Uni- versity of Wisconsin, Medill McCor- { mick of Chicago, James R.

TOOK THE HELM IN NEGRO DELEGATES' CASES. Neither Mississippi Nor Florida Will Have' Any—Taft Influence Charged. Chicagd, Aug. ‘When Colonel Roosevelt reached Chicago this morn- ing he put in a stormy two hours be- fore he succeeded in straightening out the tangle over the contesting negro delegates from the south. After he had been welcomed by a crowd of sev- eral thousand persons and had made a speech on the street in front of his hotel, he went to his headquarters and jook the helm. The Florida and Mississippi cases. whieh had not been ruled upon by the provisional national committee, were placed before him in detail and it developed there was a sharp differ- ence of opinion in the Roosevelt camp. Colonel Roosevelt stood his ground. In answer to every objection he said he would cling unequivocally to the position ha had taken and that al- though it might cost him votes in the northern states he belleved It was to the best interests of the party to pro- ceed under white leadership in the south, It is understood Colonel Roosevelt suggested the action in the Florida and Mississippl cases subsequently taken by the national committee. Mississippi Out Completely. The Mississippi negroes were thrown out completely on the ground that the white delegates were regularly elect- ed. Colonel Roosevelt is said to have protested against the use of the word “white delegates” in the call for the Mississippl case convention, Also Barring White Delegates from Florida. In the-Fiorida cases the contesting negro delegation was thrown out. The negroes protested loudly against this. They were invited to attend the con- vention as “supplemental delegates,” without votes, but declined to do_this, eventually going as spectators. Then the national committte decided to bar also the white delegates from” Florida, there having been some question of irregularity in calling a white and & negro convention separately. The cases were taken befors the convention committes on credentials tonight, but it was generally believed that commlttes would follow the ac- tion of the national committes in adopting the colonel’s view that there should be no negro deleqntes from the south. Charges of Taft Influence. In this connectlon sbme progressive leaders tonight openly charged that some Taft leaders in the republican party were behind the contests brought by the squthern negro delegates, and had defrayed the expenses of the ne- groes in coming to Chicago. This the negroes stoutly denied.

The policemen entered a general denial of the charges, but the commissioners, after a. brief con- ference, discharged all three from' the force. The police were sent to Thompsonville to help preserve order at the textlle sirike there. SALAZAR HURRYING NORTH, Is Headed for Mexican Border Line— Destroying Railroads.

' TO DEFEND BECKER . Prisoner Had Three Lawyers at Hear- ing—Withdrew Plea of Not Guilty— Case Was. Set Over Tiil Wednesday New York, Aug. 5—A police fund of $60,000 18 being raised for the de- fense of Charles Becker, the police leutenant charged with instigating the murder of Herman Rosenthal, ac- cording to the information in the bands of District Attorney Whitman tonight. The money is being col- lected, it is sald, by the go-called sys- tem, which aside from the murder cases, is to be the subject of a sep- arate investigation by the district af torney, who believes there is a cor- rupt alliance between the “system’ and the gambling fraternity, founded on graft and blackmail. The infor- mation came to the prosecutor today in connection with the arraignment of Becker to answer the indictment against him. Defense Fund Engages Lawyer. During five hours of legal procedure, which included the withdrawal by Becker of his plea of “not guilty,” for the purpose of offering motion to in- validate the indietment, the prisoner was represented by three lawyers, one of whom entered the case and myste- riously withdrew, while the status of the other two seemed doubtful in their own minds when the proceedings were over. It was said that the law- yers engaged hy Becker were not sat- isfactory to the collectors of the de- fense fund, who, the district attorney heard, have practically engaged a prominent criminal lawyer to defend the lieutenant, superseding the prison- er's own personal choice. Substitute Motion for Former Plea. John W. Hart, who has thus far represented Becker, was the lawyer who conducted the public part of to- day's legal proceedings. After with- drawing his cllent’s plea of “not gullty,” he made one motion to dis- miss the'indictment on the ground that it was irregular, and another to re- view the grand jury minutes and take evidence to ghow whether the ground for the indictment was sufficient Judge Mulqueen refoused to hear ar- guments on the motion today and set the case over fintll Wednesday. Hart, in his application to inspert the jury minutes} held that the evidence pro- duced was not legal In that it was tes- timony of accomplices in the alleged gle” Webber, Harry Valion. “I further ‘surmise and believe™ the lawyer stated, “that the testimony of each of the three witnesses was con- fession on their part of the commis- sion of the crime or connection with the same.” Officers Watch the Crowd. The fact that Becker was to appear for arraignment attracted an immense crowd to the criminal courts building fn the hope of getting a slimpse of the man who is the central figure in New York's greatest police scandal. Among them “were recognized - many gamblors and characters of the un- derworld and plain clothes men and policemen clreulated through the buflding and guarded the entramce of the courtroom, ready to forestall pos- sible violence, The crowd eventually became 8o denmse that corridors were cleared and only persons having busi- ness were admitted to tho court, Becker, looking somewhat pale from his week of prison life, walked from the Tombs across the Bridge of Sighs to the courtroom with a firm step and maintained a self-possessed but grave demeanor during the preceedings, Will Press Murder Charge. Although the district attorney says thet he has evidence that he could use in pressing a charge of extortion against the lleutenant in_connection with his relations with gamblers as head of the “strong arm’ 'squad, the Drosecutor said tonight that he pro- posed to press only the murder charge at present and that he would not hasten the trial until his evidence to support the latter was in shape. If the argument of Attorney Hart should prevall to quash the present indfct- mont, it would be easy to supersede it With another indlctment, Mr. Whit- man sald, on the additional evidence he has collected, Private Detectives in Boston. ‘While the police are searching the Catskills for “Gyp the Blood” and “Lefty Loule/Ntwo of the alleged real murderers of Rosenthal, private detec- tives employed by the district attor- ney are looking for them in Boston. Mr. Whitman on his visit there Sun- day was told by his men that “Lefty Louls” had been seen thers recently and that they hoped to capture him s00n. Another Charge Against .Policemen The district attgrney had a volun- tary witness beforo him today who accused two policemen of failing to arrest the two missing men when he pointed them out to the officers on West Forty-sccond street two days ago. The man sald he knew them both, but that the policemen refused to leavo their fixed posts to arrest them. Both policemen, McMahon. and Philbin, admitted that the witness had pointed two men out to them as “Gyp_the Blood” and “Lefty Louie,” but declared that they did mnot dare to leave their fixed posts for fear of being fined. = o Aldermen Vote Investigation. The vote of the board of aldermen to undertake an investigation of the police department today was unani- mous, although there had been talk that Tammany leaders might try to block the idea. Alderman Dowling, the Tammany leader, sald that he could promise faithful co-operation from all democrats placed on the com- mittee. He sald he was heartlly in favor of appropriating “a million if necessary to uncover and put an end to any alllance between the police and ertminals” but the proposal to jappropriate $25,000, which was unan- dmously adopted, was deemed sufi- cient, /The committes appointed for the investigation s headed by Alderman Surran, & republican, who sterted the moverent, Tt includes slx republicans or fuslonists, and threes democrats.

Constantinople, Aug. 5.—An imperiel decree was issued today gissolving the Turkish parliament. r sed a vote of want of confidence in cabinet. The president of the chamber cailed at the palace to re- port the action of the chamber, but the sultan declined to receive him. It is reported that the cabinet has ordered the arrest of Talaat Bey, ex- minister of the interior, Djavid Bey, ex-minister of finance, and other lead- ing members of the committee of un- ion and progress. Order prevails, but the troops are held in-readiness at importent points and detachments are patrolling the ntreets. A gugboat is anchored off the quay near the par- lament puildings. The ifiperial decree set forth that the duration of the deputies’ mandate as determined by the senate is con- fined to giving an arbitral decision re- garding the constitutional questions at issue which necessitated the disso- lution of the preceding chamber, deputies having completed this task, it became nesessary in accordance with the finding of the senate to ter- minate the existence of the chamber. “I consequently ordain,” concludes the sultan, “the closing of the chamber and fresh elections in conformity with the constitution.” The cabinet decided to prociaim a state of siege in Constantinople for a period of forty days. An imperial re- script was read in the chamber this afternoon to the effect that the cabi- net enjoyed the full confidence of the sultan, who regretted the attitude of the late deputies, especially the pres- ident, who failed to inform the cham- ber of the decree of dissolution. The elections will begin at an early date in order that the new chamber may meet in the first fortnight of November in accordance with the law. DEMOCRATIC LEADERS WILL EXCHANGE GREETING.
