Chicago, Aug. 6.—The second da gession of the national progressive convention was glven over almost en- tirely to Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who in ‘addition to delivering his long awaited ‘“confession of faith” an- ewered at some length and with a good deal of earnestness a question as to his attitude on the negro question. Dramatic in Arrival. The delegates cheered Colonel Roosevelt for more than an hour when he appeared suddenly and wflhe\rf d::- o e matically upon the platform Coliseum. The rafters fairly rang with the nolse of the demonstration. While awaiting the colonel's arrival most of the delegates had joined in an jmpromptu song that they would fol- Jow him wherever he should choose to Jead. This was the spirit of the re- ception accorded the former president when he reached the convention hall, angd it was the spirit with which his sdvanced ideas of progressiveness were received as fast as they were uttered. The session, however, was not with- out its thrills. Fire Threatens Decorations. A flashlight explosion set fire to one of the smoke-retaining bags hung emong the gecorations. above the crowded balcony and for a time there was nervousness which it was feared salght lead to a panic. Temporary Chairman Beveridge and Colonel Roosevelt called to everybody to re- main quiet and the band started to play as two firemen climbed up into the steel girders of the roof, snatched the burning bag back from its place efore the flames reached the inflam- t-n ble decorations running along the tire gallery, and extinguished . the fire. This act was followed by a dis- tinct sigh of relief and a round of cheers. Rush for Seats. The doors of the convention hall had been thrown open to the public after Colonel Roosevelt reached the Colise- um and the big auditorium. held one of its greatest crowds. The rush for places was so great that the fire mar- wshal soon ordered the doors closed egain. Que: s Interrupt Speaker. There were thrills, too, when Col- #nel Roosevelt was interrupted several times with questions. The same spec- tator in the galleriey who vesterday fired the query at former Senator Bev- eridge demanded to know of the col- onel “What about the liquor traffic?” The query came at the close of the Jengthy explanation of the speaker's attitude on the negro question and Mr. Roosevelt recelved it with distinct impatience. As the delexates were yelling “Shut up!” and “Put him out!” Colonel Roosevelt waved his hand toward the man, and sald: “Oh, go to a primary school, or something.” Then he added: “Let me get along with my speech.” There were cheers and cries of *“You're all right!” “And, please,” added the colonel, “lat this now be as much of a mono- iogue as possible.” Postponed Organization. When the colonel had concludeq the convention proceeded at once to adopt the report of the committee on cre- dentials and also a rule requiring that all resolutions submitted from the floor be sent to the resolutions com- mittee without debate, Permanent or- ganization was postponed untll to- morrow when the nominations will also take place. T ) “CONFESSION OF FAITH. Delegates Understand They Must Swallow It or Look Elsewhere for a Nominee. g. 6.—In making today what he called his ‘“confession ~of faith” to the national progressive con- vention, Theodore Roosevelt advocats ed measures which he said frankly would be denounced as either social- ism or anarchy. The delegates list- ened to his speech with the under- standing that they must either adopt a platform substantially in conson- ance with his views or look elsewhere for a nominee for the presiden Fol- lowing are conspicuous points in the Roosevelt programme: Recall of Docxsions.

Colonel R velt, during his “con- fession of faMh™ at the convention this afternoon, was heckled hy a spectator who interrupted with the “What about the negro question?” Instantly the convention was in an uproar, but Colonel Roosevelt silenced those of his friends who objected to the question with the statement that no one could ask him a question he was afraid of. The colonel then proceeded at some length to state hls vlews on the negro question. He declareq he hoped con- djtions would improve in the south, that at future progressive conventions those states might send as delegates negroes who would have the character and standing of the negro delegates from West Virginia, who, he asserted, were in those respects the equal of their white associates. In taking the stand he did to bar the negroes sent from the south as contesting delegates to the present convention, Colonel Roosevelt assert- ed he was stifiing in advance condl- tions which hag led to “the crushing disaster and death of the ‘great repuh- lican party 1tself.” The report of the credentials com- miftee, unanimously adopted, con- tained & resolution recognizing “the constitutional and Inherent right of | each and every state to determine (he qualifications and manner of election of its delegates to nationals conven- tions,” This resolution was regarded as glv. ing the southern states the right to choose delegdtes as they pleased.

New York, Aug. 6.—“Bald Jack” Rose, the gambler upon whese testi- mony was chiefly based the indictment of Police Lieutenant Charles Becker on the charge of instigating the mur- der of Herman Rosenthal, today fur- nished District. Attorney Whitman | with a written statement disclosing in | detail the history of his relaticns with Becker as one of the police officer's alleged graft collectors. Rose in his confession, as the dis- trict attorney terms it, reiterates his previous allegations that Becker was one of four high police officers who collected between $2,000,000 and $3,- 000,000 yearly from illegal resorts, and glves a complete table of his collec- tions from gamblers which he says he turned over to Becker. These came from a dozen or more gambling houses. Rose has been working on the state- ment in his cell since District Attor- ney Whitman, on the promise of lei iency, got him a week ago to wake his first confession of his part in the plot to assassinate Herman Rosenthal. i Payments Before Witnesses. | Rose declared he had always turned | his collections over to Becker in cash, | frequently at Rose’s home, and that his wife and servants had seen the money pass- and could testify to the truth of his statement. Becker's method of bringing the gamblers to terms was to raid them first, Rose said. This was the police officer's way, he explained, of “getting acquainted. After the raid he would offer to “fix” the case before the grand jury, Rose charged, provided the gambler would “come across.” If he did, then Becker's men, he said, would harmless evidence before the jury ot “forget” what they had told in the po- lice court. To further impress the gambler that his case was bhopele: Becker would procure extra warrants | for his arrest and threaten to raid again and again as long as the gam- bler refused to pay his blackmail. Describing his own relations with the police lieutenant, Rose sald his acquaintance began when Becker raid- ed his gambling house on the East | Side. The outcome was, Rose said, that he became a stool pigeon for Becker in his raiding activities and then his collector, with others whom | Becker employed for the same pur- | pose | Substantiates Rosenthal. Rose substantiated in his statement | all that Rosenthal had charged as to| Becker being his partner in the Rosen- | thal gambling house. He asserted that | Becker got 32 1-2 per cent. of the| “play”; 20 per cent. on his own ac-| = count and one half of Rose's share | which was 256 per cent. In addition | to Rose's statement the district at- torney, it was learned tonight, se- | cured telephone records substantiating Rose’s story that a few minutes after the murder of Rosenthal, Rose called Becker up and asked him to come downtown at once and that he com municated by telephone with Becker | several times that day Another Link In The Chain. The prosecution has also discover- | ed the whereabouts of Pollock, whose room Rose stayed at before he gave | | himself up and has subpoaned him and his wife. Their evidence, Whitman expects, will substantiate Rose's stery that he was in communi- cation with Becker while hiding there.
