Senstor Rurkett, Con gressman ilnahaw, Judge Holm, Judge Frost, Bud Llndsey and L'lmer Stephenson teemed to be hopelessly mixed up in tho melee. . .. Half . dozen wanted to explain their vote and two or tliree succeeded In doing so. Judge Holmes 'declared that he feit hound to rote uader the direction of Judge Ame and that Amen had said he wanted him t vote for Duffle lawyer Frank Wood contradicted this by shouting "That Ames had released all of his supporters and given them permis sion to vote a they pleased." Postmaster filler .'sirs drowned put when he started to explain his Intentlpn to vote for Duffle because Judge Ames told him to do so But-lent Make Threat. Senator Burkett rushed at him shaking his fist In hla face, crying: "You vote the way I eay. You vote for Duffle and you can go to Judge Ames for federal putrinr aga In the future." In his excitement he made similar treat against Bud Llndsey, who Is custodian of the federal building, and Elmer Stephenson, (who Is lntern.il revenue collector,- and almost frightened the life out of Chairman Burgess, who ex pects to get official preferment and doesn't know which way to turn between two fires. When it was all over the chairman of the delegation lert out the absentees and Sena tor Burkett demanded that tha votes of the absentees be recorded for Judge Let ton along with the votes of the majority of those prevent. Chairman McQllton ruled against this demand and pandemonium was again set loose. Burkett and Ilinshaw and several others Joined in an appeal from the decision of the chair and Ralph Breckenrldge, In his shirt sleeves, mounting a chair, undertook to In struct Mr. McQllton what to do, while John C. Wharton, who had climbed upon the platform, volunteered to- act as assistant chairman. Mr. AIe(tllton, with a carpenter's hammer In his hand, tried to reduce the convention to order, but with little success. As the easiest way of quelling a riot he re versed his ruling while the appeals from , his decision were withdrawn and the ab sentees In Lancaster county were recorded for Letton. t Ia the meanwhile other counties had been changing their votes, some before and some after the Lancaster breakup. Judge Letton had the requisite majority to nominate Irrespective of the absentee vote In Lan caster. Several attempts were made to declare tha ballot annulled because of the succes sion of changes between tha Letton men, but Hinshaw and Burkett persisted that tha ballot should stand. A way out was found by calling tha bal lot again to verify It and make aure that all tha changes war correctly recorded. Invidentally, it should be noted, Senator Sheldon threw the entire vole of Caa county, except three; Into the Leiton col umn In retaliation (or tha shabby treat ment hs had received at the hands of the Douglas delegation.

Judge Letton responded to calls amidst deafening cheering. He made a brief but Impressive speech, saying In substance: I thaplt you, gentlemen, for the honor conferred upon me In thla nomination un.l promise ta do everything I can to show myself worthy of It. As a Judge on tha bench after I am elected and I am aure I will be elected I shall know neither rich nor poor; I shall know neither corporation por individual.

I believe In bringing the selection of our candidates as close aa possible to the people and that the direct Primary system is a great step In that direction. I am In a position to go out and make a fight on the platform and with your help 1 am aure of suoress. The speech of judge Letton foreshadowed the platform, which was next read, It be ing understood whir the content were and that It responded to the demand for declaration upholding President Roose velt's trust and railroad legislation and opposing tha free pass evil.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. 14. (Special.) Chairman Burgess of the state committee palled the convention to order at 2: q'clock, at which time nearly every seat on the lower floor was filled with delegates and the gallery was. well sprinkled with spectators. After the call had been read by Secretary Allen, Chairman Burgess introduced Lieutenant Governor McQllton,. the temporary chair man, who spoke as follows: Temporary Chairman Speaks. Gentlemen t I desire to thank you and through you the executive committee for this manifestation of your good will, not only In behalf of myself, but likewise in behalf of the people of Omaha and Douglas county, for it is a further recognition of the fact that Douglas county is still on the map and Omaha a part of our glorious atate. 1 consider It a great compliment to be asked by you to preside as your temporary chairman. Jt Is always a mark of dis tinction to participate In a republican con vention as a delegate, but doubly so as a presiding officer. And this because there la something about the name "republican" that has grown to be sacred. Republicanism occupies a hallowed place In our country's history by reason of its noble birth and subsequent achievements. The republican party Is a party of law and order. It has been such from Its birth and still continues so to be. The divine principles of truth and right and Justice are Immutable and eternal. It is the duty of all human legislation to struggle to conform to them. It la because the repub lican party since Its birth, now a little mora than fifty years ago, has constantly en deavored to adhere to these principles that It has become the conscience of the nation and the greatest slngl predominating fac tor In the world .today tending toward the advancement of all our people and the good of all the nations of the earth. Aa a party It does not claim to be a com munion of saints. It only claims to be a noble organisation of fallible men In a fallible society. It concedes that all men sometimes blunder, that many sometimes sin against duty, that some are Incompe tent and some ven .vicious; but It has al ways asserted Its own dignity and Integrity by a most severe reprobation of Its knaves. Party Leada the Van. , Its noble aim, its character and place In soeiefy. Its hUih and- htriy office, are unaf fected by auch accidental blemishes. Ad ministering Justice, preserving order, it has pot only defended and consolidated our in stitutions, but has pointed the way and led the van In the course of all safe and solid Srogress, the constituted and faithful guar lun, under the law, . of all true human liberty. Our late lamented secretary of state, the Honorable John Hay, in his speech at the nfttaatn. .anniversary- o-4he birth of th party said: "It Is now in th full maturity of Its power and Its capacity for good. We look back upon a past of unparalleled useful ness and glory with emotions of thankful ness and pride: we confront th future and Its exacting problems with a confidence born of th experience, of difficulties sur mounted and' triumphs achieved in paths more thorny and ways more arduous than any that are likely to challenge th cour age and conscience of the generation which ia to follow." It la unnecessary to go back In Its his tory further than the first administration of MrKtnley to enable us to point with pride' to achievements that would entitle Us to th respect and confidence of man kind, even if the welfare of the party did not rest on' a firmer foundation. During McKlnley'a first administration our national currency was established Girls' and Misses' Tourist Coata In nary blue and fancy mixtures ages 13 to 14 years, $8.00 ta Girls' and Misses' fur $22 trimmed Cloaks, In red, brown, blue and green-10.00, I12 75 and $15 Glrla' Russian Dresses, Bailor Butts, Buster Brown Dresses and Oreteh en styles.

Since then our populist and "slxteen-to-nne" friends have been able to King the chorus: 'How dear to our heart Is the old silver dollar, when some kind republican presents It to view, the liberty head without neck tie or collar, and all the strange things that to tis sejn so new; the wide-spreading eagle, the arrows below It. the stars and the words with the strange things they tell, th coin of our fathers; we're glad that w know It. for some time or other 'twill com In quite well; the spread eagle dollar the silver-tipped dollar, the star spangled dollar we all love so welt." Democrats Flonrlsh on Famine. During the same four vears the war with Spain was fought and won. the Insurrection In the Philippines put down, the leratlons at Peking rescued, Porto Rico brought Into our commercial system and. from an Indus trial standpoint the most Important of all. a protective tariff enacted that In no small degree has contributed to our present tin bounded prosperity, a prosperity so grent that today there Is no excuse for the exist ence of our friends, the democratic party. As a party It flourishes In adversity and grows fat on famine, but when the mills are all busy, when every stream Is hurry ing Itself to carry the busy wheels of manu facturing institutions, when the streets of the cities are rushing with business, when th sunshine of contentment glows o-er the faces of all our laboring men and pom fort Is In their homes, when power and prosperity Is In the land, of what use Is the democratic partvT Frank 8. Black of New Tork In hi nomi nating speech of President Roosevelt a the Chicago convention lasf year said: "There Is one fundamental plank on which the two great parties are In full accord. Doth believe In the equality of man. The difference la that the democratic party would make every man as low as the poor est, while the republican partv would make every man aa high as the best." During the present administration, tinder the leadership of that peerless statesman, Theodore Roosevelt, enough has been ac complished to give our party Imperishable renown. Taxation and the public debt have been reduced, business fostered, agriculture fromoted, a new policy for the Irrigation of he arid lands of the west Instituted, the army and navy reorganised and built up, civil government given to the Philippines and the .republic of Tuba established, be sides wonderful progress In the regulation of trust. Leaders In Peace. , We are at peace with all the world and the mediator In the peace of the orient. Questions of political economy and orderly administration under law. the rights of cap ital and labor, the regulation and control of railroads, trusts and large corporate inter ests are pressing for solution. These ques tions are now being considered by all with an Intensity never before dreamed of. Put republicans are equal to the occasion. The republican party will grapple with them and solve them right, aa It has all other Important questions for more than half a century. Our democratic brother will predict fail ure and abuse us. no matter what we do or what we accomplish. We must expeot that, for It Is his nature. Abuse will only streng then us, as It has for, lo, these many years, for no fragment of an army ever received half so many bullets as our party, no cita del sustained so many' sieges, no rock was ever swept by a many storms, and yet it stands, tne conscience of the patlon and the surpremest agency In the world for good. It has seen the rise and fall of many parties. All of them have been weighed In the balance and found wanting. Yet our party stands revered by the Judgment of mankind. It Is more devotedly oved and more vehemently assailed than any party the world has ever seen. It survives all changes,. Itself unchanged. . It has seen myriads of others engulfed by tha stream of time. Yet It Is borne along triumphantly on the wave and will be borne along under the leadership of our distinguished presi dent, Theodore Roosevelt, and men of his force and integrity until all these questions are rightly solved to the honor or the re publican partv and tha welfare, of the American people. McGllton Keeps the Chair. C. A. Potter was nominated as temporary secretary, declined, and these were selected: J. F. C. McKesson, Luther P. Ludden, C. L. Richards, M. J. Greevy.

Dutcher, a director and a member of the finance committee, was called to the atand.

He wss asked the salaries of the company's offieers, but could not remember them. He Will present the list of the officers' salariea to the committee tomorrow. Mr. Dutcher was still on tha stand when the committee adjourned. . Mataal'e Blsr Prodts. Earlier In the day Treasurer Cromwell had lake the etand to complete his ex planations of the Mutual Life's syndicate operations. In explaining the relations of the Mutual with the trust companies Mr. Cromwell stated ths Interesting fact that on the purchase of f 1,120,000 worthof shares ef ths Guarantee Title and Trust company ths Mutual had received In dividends 11,220,600, making these shares cost nothing and realising a profit. Mr. Cromwell stated these shares were now selling at over 600. On the advantage of dealing through syndicates In preference to buying railroad bonds direct Mr. Cromwell said he had actually tried to buy bonds directly from a railroad company. He went to bis friend Stuyvesant Fish, president of the Illinois Central, and Mr. Fish told him he could not afford to sell the bonds to the Mutual. In bis testimony after the recess explain ing a matter of a purchase. of Bank of California stock Mr. Cromwell said the Issue pplce of the stock was 3&o. Mr. Crom well hoped to get the shares at this figure but In the end the share holders to whom, tinder the California Jaw the rights to the new Issue belonged, held out and the Mutual obtained Its 6,000 shares at an av erage price of 8S0 8-10. The' sale was en tirely by individuals and there was no syndicate. The transaction waa left en tirely to William Babcqck with Nabsolute confidence that be was dealing fairly with the Mutual. " Mr. Cromwell waa asked whether he In creased or decreased his holdings In the de bentures of the United States Mortgage and Trust company to assist the trust com pany. He replied: "Not entirely, so. t Is partly to help our whole western cllentells to know that through one of our companies they can get money on bond and mort gage."

"You have an account with the American Exchange bank?" ''We have had It for nearly a generation." "You do not receive any interest 1" "None whatever. Its president Is one' of our trustees and he tells us frankly If we want Interest we must go elsewhere, hut we have not thought It gracious to close our aocount." lareatmenta of Metropolitan.

The list of stock and Securities held by the Metropolitan en January 1, 1906, was marked for Identification, also the lists of purchases and salea of securities and syn dicate participations In the last ten years were produced and In evidence. Of 176,000,000 Of the securities held ty the Metropolitan about $ti6,000,ooo were pur chased from Vermllya ft Co. and W. A. Held ft Co. Mr. Dutcher said the president usually did the purchasing of securities for ths Metropolitan. It appeared from the questioning that tha president of the Metropolitan had sole dis cretion In which banks and trust companies deposits should be kept. When the Ipsuranca Investigation was opened today the first witness waa Fred erick Cromwell, treasurer of the Mutual Life Insurance company, who continued his explanations of syndicate operations n which the Mutual Life partlcipatee. Balances of from 87,000.000 to $10,00fl,OM maintained in tne National Bank of Com meroe ef New York in 1904 were explained by Mr. Cromwell, who aald the reason for keeping such large sums at that bank wag that ths bsnk paid the company t per cent Interest, while the Insurance company could not have loaned the money on call at that rate. The Mutual Life, being a large stock holder In the bank, he said, was naturally favorably disposed toward maintaining a large balance there, especially when th money was not nded. Mr. Cromwell, questioned further on the subject, said that later, when tha market rate for money on call waa i per cent, the Mutual Life In surance company's deposit was still kept in the National Bank of Commerce at t per cent. The relations Of ths Mutual Life Insur ance company with trust companies were tauohed on again today, and while on this matter Mr. Cromwell detailed the connect tlon of hla company with the Title Ouar. anty Trust eonpa,ny. "Wa thought thla company a paying Investment at the time," said he. "SO we took 81,10,000 of Its shares. On this ws have drawn tuao.aqe. These sharea, therefore, cost ua (ess than nothing They are new celling at over 600 (par valus 8100). We now hold 800,000 of this stock at par. We keep 8eoO,0u9 on deposit there." IoTstats"He Paid. Mr. Cromwell said that as the company only Invested In first-class securities it could net get the highest r of Interest. It had only 6,00i), ta foreclosed property, whereas It had gequlred property now worth 838.606,000 at caat Of llt,Qwi,000. The large profit thus earned through rise in values more than made up far any appart ant loss through low Interest. Mr. Hughes elicited from the witness that ths Mutual Life received IS per cent In. tereet on debentures taken from the United Stares Mortgage and Trust company, though the latter loaned money on mort gagee M 4 per cent. The difference went to the trust company- Mr. Cromwell was excused with a re quest te prepare a statement showing how much more the Mutual ure wouia nave obtained if if bed loaned directly on real estate Instead of through the truet com panies.

Muth White Pally, maid Louise Brackelt Flora Jane Fihby. authoress Frankle Warner "The Tenderfoot" Is the same old com blnatlun of wit, satire and nonsense set to music. Neither age nor custom ' has aa yet made an appreciable difference In this, although Mr. Klgman has Introduced two or three noticeable novelties In th matter of "business." The company that began an engagement of four performances at the Boyd last night has Us bright spots and It also has several that are not so bright In the main, it Is well qualified for the presentation of the piece, and makes It go with a snap from start to finish. Mr. Flgman Is rapidly nearing his way to the higher class of low comedians, If such an expression conveys the Idea Intended. He Is a much cleverer performer than many who are rated far higher, but his ability has not yet come to be recognised. )t will not be a long time, though, until he is asked to create parts Instead of fol lowing less capable perforiners In them. His work as I'rof. Pettlbone Is broadly outlined, after the Carle model, but the finishing touches are of Flgman. and In moat regards are delicious. At present he is suffering from a hoarseness that pre cludes his singing, but no cold could pos sibly affect his eloquent feet, and he dancea as few other comedians can. He la hu morous without being grotesque, and can amuse an audience without descending to buffoonery. Mlas Ruth White, who Is singing the Marlon Worthington role, Is splendidly equipped for such a part. She has youth and beauty on her side to begin with, has had sufficient stage experience to be able to act with effect and Is the pilstress of a voice of remarkable sweetness snd purity, though somewhat limited In volume. Her sopgs In the first .and second act were roundly encored last night. Mr. Warner's voice Is very clear and melodious, but lacks a great deal of the volume one would expect from a man of his physique. The three captains and Bill Barker are very jell done and the dancing of Patsy and Hop Lee Is a distinct bit. The chorus Is numerous, with more than the average of good looks, and sings very welt together. "The Tenderfoot" will be at the Boyd the rest of the week, with a matlne on Saturday. "Big- Ilenrlrd Jim" nt tho Krogr. In "Big Hearted Jim". William Roberts haa again Invaded ths wt for a back ground against which to set the customary mannlklns over whose Jointed figures the fabric of the modern melodrama is spread. This time it fits in placea and droops In un artlstlc folds In others. No such western characters as are drawn ever really existed outside the "penny dreadfuls.'1 but the hero is Just as heroic as can be, the villain t un speakable and the other elementa are all well supplied. Oeorge KILmpt assumes the role of the sheriff of Medicine Lodge and plays him with many vlgos and a drawling speech,- to tha Intense satisfaction of his friends "upstairs" at any rate. He Is not bumptious, hat Just certain pf everything save when he ie making love. Then he la a chump; probably due to lack of experience. Miss Mable Moore contributes a charming bit of work as the heroine, and Miss Jessie Stevens does an effective stunt In the char acter ot a ''mountain diamond." Bhe Is nearer true to life than any of the rest. The company la an unusually well balanced one and the play la very well staged and directed, so that the performance runs through Its series of climaxes with a steady flow of action. A small audience greeted the opening last night, but thla will doubtless be remedied when the quality of the piece la better understood. The com pany stays at the Krug until after Satur day night, with a matinee on Saturday. OFFERS TO AID THE CITY Fromlaov' eoaa from Tern Bnalnea 'Meat " to " CoAtrlhnte Toward Paring; pyU' Salaries.

The chief feels encouraged by these" offers snd hopes It will be possible to forego the reduction of the police force at this critical time, the eve of the busy fall trading season and festival period, when criminals of all sorts are more likely to come to Omaha than at any other time.
