ROOT DELIVERS THE ADDRESS
Says Title to Nomination is Clear
and Unimpeachable.

ONE REFERENCE TO ROOSEVELT
Former President ia Referred to as
Leader of Those Who Have
Left the Republican
Party.
WASHINGTON, Aug. L-President Taft
wat formally notified today of his nom
ination by the national republican con
vention at Chicago.
Surrounded by his family and friends
in the historic east room of the White
House the president received from Sen
ator Elihu Root, chairman of the com
mittee of notification, his first official
information of the convention's action.
"Your title to the nomination is as
: clear and unimpeachable as the title of
I any candidate since political conventions
began," said Senator Root at the con
clusion. "I accept the nomination which you
! tender," replied President Taft, beginning
his speech of acceptance. "I accept it as
an expression of confidence that in a
; second administration 1 will serve the
.publio well."
Memories of a weather forecast which
promised clear skies and brought about
a blizzard on the day Mr. Taft was In
augurated changed the plans of having
the ceremonies on the rear portico. which
overlooks the gardens, the Washington
monument and a green slope toward the
Potomac, so the president and his guests
assembled In the east room.
Mrs. Taft radiant and happy, stood by
her husband's elde. Charles, their
younger son, wat there, too. They came
from their summer cottage at Beverly
yesterday. Miss Helen Taft and Robert,
the elder son, were not present.
President's Speech ts Lone;.
genator Root's speech, delivered in the
tones so well known in the senate cham
ber, was heard by all, and when he fin
ished the president began reading his
speech of acceptance, a printed document
of some 10,000 words.
A raised dale had been provided in the
-center of the east room, surmounted by
two coto'ntaT'ehairs Senator Root occu
pied one and President Taft had the
other.
As the president entered the room atone
the Marine band played "The Star-Spangled
Banner" find the guests applauded
heartily. Mrs. Taft, when she entered a
moment later, was also applauded.
Charles t. Hllles, the president's former
secretary and now chairman of the re.
publican national committee, came in
just before Senator Root began to speak,
and he, too, received a round of ap
plause. Moving picture machine operators
perched upon points of vantage in the
corners of the room clicked off thousands
of feet of film, while Senator Root and
the president were speaking. It was the
first time a moving picture had been
taken in the White House. The State de
partment will preserve one of the reels in
its archives.
Emphasizes Strong Passages.
When the president came to the portion
of his speech wherein be referred to "the
maintenance of the nation's institutions
and the preservation of the constitution"
many of his hearers thought he spoke
with feeling. Then when he launched Into
a denunciation of those who he said were
responsible "for the popular unrest" the
president spoke with spirit, raising his
voice and emphasizing his words by ges
tures. While the president was being notified
of his nomination the democrats in the
house of representatives . were firing a
fusillade of campaign oratory and eulo
gizing Woodrow Wilson.
Applause interrupted the president's de
livery of his speech. One outburst, last
ing a little longer than the others, greeted
his references to Colonel RooseVelt and
Governor . Wilson, though he mentioned
neither by name. He referred to the colo
nel as the "leader of those who had
left the republican party" and to Gov
ernor Wilson as the democratic nominee.
At the conclusion of the speeches a
luncheon was . served and the White
House took on the appearance of one of
the mid-winter social functions, though
the formalities of dress were lacking.
Senator Root's Address.
"The title to the nomination is as clear
and unimpeachable as the title of any
candidate since political conventions be
can." That was the keynote of Senator Elihu
Roots' s address to President Taft.
"The committee of notification," said
Senator Root, "here present, has the
honor to advise you formally that on the
22d day of June, last, you were regularly
and duly nominated by the national
convention of the republican party, to be

Cirofici Identified
as One of the Men
in the Murder Car
NEW YORK, Aug. l.-"Dago Frank"
Cirofici, one ot the four men wanted for
the killing of Gambler Rosenthal, was
identified today as being In the gray
murder car at the time of the shooting.
The identification was made by three
men, one of whom was a man the prose
cutor's officers refer to as the "un
known." Cirofici appeared to be greatly
shaken by the appearance of the "un'
known and a confession seemed iminent,
officials of the district attorney's office
said as Cirofici was about to enter the
grand'lury room.
Attorney Hart, counsel for "Jack" Rose
was before the grand jury for more than
an hour. When he came out he admitted
he had procured from Rose an affidavit
after the Rosenthal murder and before
Rose's arrest. At the time he procured
the affidavit, lie said, he had no idea
that Rose had any connection with the
murder. . The document, he added, did
not concern the murder, but repudiated
Rosenthal's charge that he and Lieuten
ant Becker were partners in a gambling
house venture.
Holt Makes Plea for
Endowed Paper
MADISON, Wis., Aug. l.-Hamllton
Holt of the - Independent, New York,
made a plea for an endowed newspaper
in his address at the National News
paper conference today on the topic,
"Can Commercial Journalism Make Good,
or , Must We Look for the Endowed
Newspaper?"
The endowed paper would exert a great
influence for good upon public opinion
and upon the standards of other papers,
declared Mr. Holt, who said he saw no
danger of its becoming reactionary if
manned by the right kind of men. "There
are many college presidents who could
edit such a paper better than can many
of the $15,000 editors of commercial
papers," he said.
Mr. Holt's endowed paper must be a
weekly, which can circulate ail over the
land and exert the maximum influence
over current events. It would have no
politics of its own. Its motto would be
comprehensiveness and accuracy.
"An endowment of $5,000,000 would be
sufficient to carry out this plan," said
the speaker.
"I hasten to say," added Mr. Holt,
"that commercial journalism not only
can, but often does 'make good,' never
theless I am here today to make a plea
for the establishment of an endowed
paper.
"Journalism of the highest order is
really a part of pubilo education, an ex
tension of university extension. It has
the same triple function aa the university
the discovery of truth, ,the dissemina
tion of -knowledge and the championship
of worthy causes.
"If Journal is to have an eminent,
enterprising and trustworthy staff, cap
able of finding out the farts about cur
rent events, with accuracy and dispatch,
it cannot be expected to be self-supporting
any more than a university en
gaged , in fostering all the arts and
sciences and .maintaining a faculty of
nation-wide repute."
Asks Impeachment
of Daniel T, Wright
WASHINGTON, Aug. l.-Speaker Clark
received in his mall today from Francis
T. Tobin, a lawyer of Philadelphia, a
petition for the impeachment of Justice

John Mitchell for contempt of court in
connection with an injunction in the
noted Bucks Stove and Range case.
Speaker Clark referred the petition to
the house judiciary committee without
comment.
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. l.-Nebraska
delegates iu congress have already been
called upon to investigate the record of
Justice Wright's action with a view to
Impeachment. A paragraph in the state
democratic platform, adopted at Grand
Island Tuesday night, Is as follows:
"We denounce the usurpation of power
on the part of the federal judiciary as
show In the decision of Judge Daniel
Thew Wright of the District of Columbia,
wherein he sentenced to imprisonment
such champions of the wage earners of
the nation as Samuel Gompers and John
Mitchell for daring to exercise the pre
rogative of free speech. And we call
upon Nebraska's representatives in con
gress to investigate the record of this
procedure with a view to the judge's im
peachment" Professor of Magic
Faces Difficult Job
CHICAGO, Aug. L Felix Marklewicz, a
"wizard of magic," who Is declared to
have offered to inform any one how to
make a thief return stolen property, how
to make a cow give pure milk abundantly
and how to make yourself Invisible, today
faced the personal problem of "how to
make the government cease to prosecute."
The wizard, also known as "Prof. S.
Lanord," is charged with having used the
malls to defraud persons who trusted
statements of his pwer circulated in a
pamphlet giving twenty "wonders" which
he could perform for sums ranging from
$2 to 16.
The $6 wonder declared to have been
advertised by the professor was a for
mula which would enable the recipient to
see an angel in the looking glass that
would tell what the gazer's beloved was
doing at that moment.
Marklewicz was held In bonds of $2,000
by a United States commissioner.

OYSTER BAY. N. Y., Aug. l.-The at
titude of the national progressive party
toward the negro, one of the knottiest
problems to be solved In tne forma
tion of the party, is taken up at length
in a careful statement which Colonel
Roosevelt completed today and which
he will make public In a few days. The
colonel said today that the question
would be met fairly and squarely.
Neither of the old parties, Colonel
Roosevelt asserted, had met the negro
question fairly and honestly. The demo
cratic party, he said, was openly against
the negro and the republican party had
placed the black man In the south on an
artificial basis, so far as his relations
with the party were concerned.
Call It Washington Party.
HARRISBURG, Pa., Aug. l.-The
Roosevelt campaign in Pennsylvania this
fall will be fought under the name of the

RAILROADS READY FOR GRAIN
All Local Roads Have Prepared for
the Enormous Wheat Crop.
CARS VRE ALL OVERHAULED
:. ., $mmm i '-." r
Official Admit That Business to
Inland Towns la Sloch Better
Than Last Y en r Stock
Shipments Fall Off.
Beginning about August 10, local rail
road men are looking for a heavy move
ment of wheat and as a result, the roll
ing stock has been put Into good condlr
tlon to handle the business. Box cars
are being assembled at convenient points
so that when the heavy demand comes,
they can be hurried on to the points
needed. Engines have been overhauled
and everything has been put in the best
of condition for taking care of the
grain.
Officers of the roads operating In and
out of Omaha all look for plenty of
business, but none of them anticipate
anything of a car shortage. Realizing
that the wheat crop of Nebraska and
Kansas is enormous, they have taken
time by the forelock and have prepared
for it. In fact, they are better prepared
than during former years.
Even right now the railroad men admit
that business is very good, although
there is a falling off in cattle ship
ments, as compared with former years,
due to the fact that the cattle are not
in the west. There are perhaps as many
cattle, on the farms as formerly, but
they are not on the range. There the
losses by reason of storms last winter
were very heavy and the herds have
not been recuperated to the normal. This
applies to sheep, as well as cattle.
In the country towns of Nebraska,
South Dakota and Wyoming, railroad
men are of the opinion that business Is
better than last year at this time. This
opinion is formed by reason that the
shipments to the country are larger and
more frequent. Groceries, dry goods and
hardware supplies are going forward In
large quantities and the demand for
lumber is becoming heavier than for
several years past.
Uncle Sam is Again

pected that the bills will have become
law by that time.

PROTEST FURTHER INCREASE
County Board Objects to Additional

BIO INCREASE IS ALREADY MADE
And Now Slate Board ; Asks That
Donglaa County Show Cause
Why Ten Per Cent More
Should Not Be Added.
Protect agalnFt a 10 per cent Increase
in valuation of Douglas county property
for tax assessment purposes when the
valuation already has ben increased 11.81
per cent will be made to the State Board
of Equalization by the Douglas County
Board of County Commlsloners on August
13 at Lincoln. Resolution ordering this
protest . and urging the Omaha Com
mercial club, the Omaha Real Estate
exchange, the Omaha city council and
the Omaha labor . organizations to co
opera to with the county board in resist
ing what is believed to be an unjust In
crease was adopted by the Board of
County Commissioners by unanimous vote
today.
The county equalization board's return
to the state board Increased Douglas
county's valuation In round numbers,
$13,000,000 over 1911. The county board
thinks this is enough.
Citation to appear before the state
board August 13, 1 snd show came why
the valuation on Douglas county lands
as returned by the county board should
not be Increased 10 per cent and why
the valuation on hogs as returned should
not be Increased 100 per cent was re
ceived by the county board this morning.
John C. Lynch, chairman of the board,
immediately Introduced the resolution
calling for a protest.
The resolution notes the fact that the
Douglas county actual valuation as re
turned to the state board shows an In
crease over 1911 of $24,887,230. and a valu
ation for assessment purposes of $4,797,
444, which Is 11.91 per cent Increase. It
urged the Commercial club, Real Estate
exchange, city council and labor organi
zations to name two representatives each
to accompany the county board and the
county attorney to Lincoln on the day
fixed by the state board and make vigor
ous resistance to any increase "above the
liberal valuation already made."
