The official call for the convention was read by the secretary, Phil J. Haskins. W.'S. Wood nominated for temporary chairman of the convention Willilam H. Davis. Davie by acclamation. In taking the chair Mr. Davis thanked the delegates for the honor conferred. He remarked: “I desire to say to the delegates here assembled that your nominee to-night will be the Congressman. As election day approaches ybu can plainly see that the Republicans throughout the country will poll a largely increased | vote. California will surely do her duty. Above all, San Francisco should do her part, as the unprecedented pros- | perity of this city is mainly due to the Republican administration. It is your duty to select a Representative of ster- | ling character and eminent fitness to lead the party in the Fourth Con- gressional Distriet. L. A. Devpto was elected secretary by acclamation. Sepnator Hamilton A. Bauer moved |that a committee of ‘eleven on credentials be appointed by the |chair. T. C.

Sir Thomas Barlow, physician to his , Majesty's household, arrived at Wal- | mer Castle to-night. The physicians |whu were summoned from Paris also { arrived on a special train. I It is understood that the long auto- mobile ride Lady Curzon took on Tues- | day produced a severe internal hemor- rhage, necessitating the summoning of Dr. Championes from London. The pa- tient - became worse on Wednesday night, and to-day was in an extremely exhausted condition, and almost coma- tcse. 1t is reported that acute perito- nitis has supervened. | Lord Curzon, who is overwhelmed by | the sudden blow, remains constantly by | hig wife's bedside. the following, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we indorse and ratity the platform adopted by the National Republican Convention and the platform adopted by the i Republican State Convention, and we pledge ourselve; and our candidate for Congress trom this district to support Rocsevelt and Falr- ks When the chairman declared that the next order of businéss was the nom- ination of a Congressman, Norris Davis of .the Forty-first went to the platform and, in a brief speech, nom- inated Julius Kahn. Reference was ! made to Mr. Kahn's service in the State | Legislature and his career for two terms In the House of Representatives. A tribute was rendered to Mr. Kahn's sterling character and eminent fitness. Applause, prolonged and hearty, ! greeted the mention of Julius Kahn's name. The next speaker racog-ized was I. J. Truman Jr. of the Forty-second Dis- trict. He dwelt upon the prosperity of San Francisco, holding that it was due chiefly to the Republican party. He i | sald: “The good work was begun by Mec- Kinley and carried .out by Rooseevlt. The prosperity we enjoy is due to the policies and principles of the Republi- can party. As to the future we shall lose our grasp on the trade of the Phil- ippines or maintain it. What man to- day best understands the situation in | the Philippines? Julius Kahn made a | tour of the islands and studied the con- { ditions there, No man in the country | is better informed on this subject than | Mr Kahn, and I take great pleasure in | seccnding his nomination for Congress.” KAHN IS CHEERED. More cheering ensued as other epeeches of indorsement were made. A. C. Taylor of the Forty-fourth moved that the ballot of the convention be cast for Julius Kahn. The motion pre- vailed and the secretary cast sixty- eight vetes for Kahn. The chairman declared the result and in accordance with a motion appointed Henry C. Dibble and J.

LOUIS, Sept. 22.—Great interest has been aroused in the International Congress of Arts and Science by the theory advanced by Professor Hugo de Vries, professor of botany in the Uni- versity of Amsterdam, who, combat- ting in the open Darwin's theory of the origin of species, advanced a theory of | his own in diametrical opposition to all ideas of former and present biolo- gists and phylogenists. Professor de Vries asserts that no two of the same species of animal, from the lowest stages to man, are alike in any important particular. He claims that the distinguishing feature or element of an individual is' not transmitted to the offspring of that in- dividual. The theory of Darwin, on the other hand, is that by heredity the peculiaritieg of the primogenitor finally result in a new species. Professor de Vries offered proof be- fore the scientists that an entirely new species may be developed within one or two generations. Professor .George H. Howard of Le- land Stanford University spoke to-day on “Social Control and Function of the Home." ‘ Professor Howard said that at the present time marriage depended more upon the family than the family de- pended upon marriage. The home was used merely as a place in which to eat and sleep, he said, while the members, | through selfishness, were made wage- earners. Professor Howard asserted | that the marriage ties are at present too lightly . made and too easily broken, and that this.was the reason for the club life of to-day, which was a menace to society. Professor ‘Howard brought out the fact that patriarchal control in the home, so prevalent in former years, was rapidly vanishing and that hus- band and wife were becoming more in ‘power. Therefore, he said, harmony in the home was more im- portant than ever before. —_———————— SEEKING DATA AS TO PAY OF EXPERT MACHINISTS Secretary Morton Takes Up Request of Navy Yard Employes for Higher Wages. WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—Secre- tary Morton has addressed letters to varlous large industrial companies throughout the country, asking them for information about the pay their machinists receive, the classes into which thev are divided, the amount of piece work done, the premium paid for overtime work and other matters about the employment of the men in this trade. The machinists at the navy yard at ‘Washington have asked for increased pay and the investigation by the Sec- retary is in the interest of this re- quest. —_————— RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR AULTMAN COMPANY Manufacturers of Threshing and Har. vesting Machines in Finan- | the Hamburg-American line steam- ship Prinz Oskar, which sailed from New York September 6, became sud- denly insane upon the arrival of the steamship here to-day and made an attempt to kill Captain Dugge of the | Prinz Oskar and Frank R.

According to the report the invaders effected an entrance at the home and ran upstairs seeking a freshman who roomed in the house. They tried the young woman's room and started to pull her out of bed before her startled screams apprised them of the fact that they had made a grave mistake. Detectives from Chicago are making an investigation of the affair, and the father intends to prosecute the offend- ers if the sleuths are successful in find- ing the identity of the invaders. It is unofficially announced that at least flve sophomore hazers will be ex- pelled from the university, and there is much trembling and quaking on the part of those who have been playing the midnight pranks that frightened the freshmen. The ax may swing over many more, as the faculty is deter- mined to find out the hazers and make stern examples. Claude Swett, a student who is in the hospital as the result of hazing, is not dying, but will be able to be out in a week or ten days at the most. —_————— CHIEF JOSEPH DEAD. Heart Disease Ends Life of Noted Nez Perce Warrior. SPOKANE, Sept. 22.—Chief Joseph, | the famous Nez Perce warrior, is dead. He had been in poor health for some time. afternoon and was seen by Indians near by to fall from his seat to the ground. When -they lifted him he was dead. He died from heart dis- ease. Chief Joseph was considered by many army officers the greatest of In- dian warriors. He made his home in the Wallowa country, in Eastern Oregon, and when in 1875 an attempt was made to confine his tribe on a reservation he took to the warpath. General Howard and a big force pur- sued Josenh for t:-;- months. He ‘was finally headed and captured by General Miles.

WASHINGTON, Sept. —President Roosevelt and party arrived here over the Pennsylvania Railroad from Oyster Bay at 6:52 o’clock this afternoon. The President’'s train was delayed about thirty-six minutes by an aecci- dent to the rear drive wheel of the lo- comotive as it entered the tunnel at Baltimore. The engine was imme- diately detached and another procured to pull the train to Washington. Fortunately the train was not run- ning at high speed when the accident occurred, or it might have been more serious. It was making not more than thirty-five miles an hour, when in some | unaccountable manner the tire of the | rear drive wheel on the left, side of the | engine broke and curled off. One end | of it protruded upward and jammed | through the boiler of the engine, caus- |ing an almost immediate shutting off | of the steam. Engineer Weatherby put | on the airbrakes and the train came to | a stop. A request was sent to the yard | for another engine. After a half-hour’s | delay another engine was attached to | the train and it proceeded to Wash- | ington. The cause of the tire breaking, ac- cording to the railway officials, was inexplicable. The engine, just before leaving Philadelphia, had been thor- tested. oughly The President and his party took the matter very coolly. The accident is said to be the first which has happened to a train on which President Roosevelt has traveled | during his administration.’ The President was given a cordial welcome home by a large crowd of peo- | ple as he came through the trainshed | and walked out to the street where his carriage was waiting. The crowd lined both sides of Sixth street for a long time before the train arrived. and when he made his appearance and stepped into his carriage he was enthusiastic- ally cheered.
