application to Inspect the Jury minutes,
held that the evidence produced was not
legal. In that it was testimony of ac

"Jack." Ryjse, "Bridgle" Webber and
. Harry Vallon.
, The fact that Becker was to appear for
arraignment attracted an immense crowd
to the criminal courts building. Among
them were many gamblers and characters
of the underworld. The crowd eventually
became so dense that the corridors were
cleared and only persons having business
were admitted to the court.

' while the police are searching the
Catskills for "Gyp The Blood" and
"Lefty Louie," two of the alleged mur
derers of Rosenthal, private detectives
employed by the district attorney are
looking for them in Boeton. The district
attortjey had a voluntary witness before
him today who accused two, policemen
of falling to arrest the missing men when
he pointed them out to the officers In

PES MOINES, la.. Aug. g.-Special
Telegram.) The lunch room will solve
the problem of high living for the patrons
of hotels, accordinK to the hotel men
in session here. All that Is needed is
for the hotel keepers to adopt clean
business methods and they can continue
to do business. '
Discussion during the day at the meet
ing largely centered around the cost of
food and the losses due to bad manage
ment, especially the cashing of personal
checks.
It Is probable that an effort will be
made td secure general agreement not
to Indulge In the check cashing habit
Rome Miller of Omaha led In discus
sion of this subject.
"If the members of this association
would agree to refuse all personal checks
and even firm checks It would afford
solution of the difficulties we have with
checks," said Mr. Miller.
As chairman of the legislative commit
tee of the association, Mr. Miller invited
suggestions in the shape of uniform leg
islation for hotel men. More than 109
hotel men attended the opening session.
E. J. Taggart of Omaha set the con
vention wheels going bg a tstrrlng ad
dress in which he related the work done
by the association in the last year and
pointed out the benefits its members
have derived from closer association
with their fellow hosts. He pointed out
that organisations of traveling men are
doing much to make work easier for
hotel keepers and urged further co-op
eration between hotel men and the men
they house.
Reports were made by vice presidents
of the various states, W. F. Miller point
Ing out what the association has done in
Iowa. C. A. Klaus showed what It has
done in North Dakota and others what
It had done In the several states Included
In the association.
SCENES IN THE COLISEUM
(Continued from page One.)
Kansas City. Star. , Jt was dated Mag-
nulla. Miss., and waa as follows:
Lord, how I wish I were with you.
What a great day, the launching of a
party of imagination, hope and pros
pects. We can. afford to grva the other
fellows their memories and disappoint
ments. The past has no interest for us.
The future is our fruit. Give Colonel
Roosevelt .my love, a have never missed
a chance to place a bet, on him and
have never lost when there was a square
Sal. The Lord Is surely with us. He
as given us the men as well as the op
portunity, i cannot help but feel what
narrow escape we naa in tne June
convention. Roosevelt might -have been
nominated there. My congratulations to
everybody and regret that I cannot be
with you.
Wild 'applause followed the reading and
the ' entire audience ; rose and sang
America under the leadership of a musi
cal director especially enraged.
Many of the leaders Joined lustily "In
the song, James R. Garfield of Ohio
being one of the most earnest in the
cheers., "; , "
"America" was followed by "Dixie"
but' the ' leader had difficulty In getting
the band and the singers together and
the song was not much of a success.
Colunrl Roosevelt Appears.
It was 12:47 when Chairman Beveridge
announced the arrival of Colonel Roose
velt at the Coliseum. This was enough
for the delegate and the galleries. They
Jumped to their feet and cheered. A
minute later the colonel appeared on the
stage almost as It by magic.
In the midst of the deafening din, he
stepped on to the Insulated speaking
platform under the big sounding board.
He smiled his appreciation of the dem
onstration and bpwed to the right and
Jeft. With a broad grin he waved greet
ings to friends on the stage and floor.
The delegates meantime stood on their
chairs and cheered until the rafters rang.
They waved flags and bandanas In a
perfect riot of colors.
The Grand Army of the Republic fife
and drum corps on the stage marched up
to where the colonel stood and ach vet
eran got a warm greeting and handshake
from the progressive leader. Surround
ing the. former president the flfers and
drummers played a number of patriotic
tunes.
, The band in Its far away loft at the
end of the great hall also was playing
awns', Judging from the antics of the
leader, but scarce a strain of music could
be heaVd. ' ''
"We want Teddy!" chanted many dele
gates.' Others gave, the call of the bull moose.
Still othera sang, but the great majority
Just yelled.
In the midst of the uproar an Okla
homa delegate tore the state's standard
from Its place and started up the center
aisle. In a minute the aisles were filled
with a confused, hysterical crowd of
shrieking men and women. Minnesota
swung In behind Oklahoma, and, n the
crowd dashed through the aisles, Wash
ington. Massachusetts, Ohio, West Vir
ginia. Kansas, Virginia and a doxen other
states poured Into the throng. Banner,
standards, flags, hats, . red bandanas
were flung tip over the heed of the dele
gates.
Over the Colorado delegation appeared
the "No more-Guggenheim" sjgn.
As this emblem appeared before the
platform Colonel Roosevelt turned and
wavea towara it wltha grin. Anot.iwr
uproar started. A banner bearing liie
catch note from the speech of Senator
Beveridge yesterday, "Pass the prosper-
ity around," was roundly cheered.
Some one threw the colonel a red ban
dana handkerchief and, standing on the
piatform, he led the mob In a series of
Cheers, waving the handkerchief.
Colonel Roosevelt wore an ever, broad
ening, characteristic smile he turned
first In one direction and then another.
acknowledging the greetlna-s ahow.r.
jipon him. One of his visitors on the
staee during the demonstration waa On-
eral John H. McDowell, head of the Ten
nesee division; pf the United Confederate
Veterans. The, colonel said he hoped to
bring the north and south together.
; While, the demonstration was at Its
height, Mrs. Roosevelt, clad In black, ap.
peered In a box to the left of the plat
form. She carried a red bandana hand
kerchief and waved it enthusiastically.
Mrs. Roosevelt was accompanied by
George Roosevelt, a nephew of the col
onel. A. th. Ohio de.eg.Uon passed the
form a delegate yelled, "Here's Taft'S
own state."
The colonel waved a friendly hand and
smiled.
The vacant spaces in the galleries
quickly filled up and standing room now
was at a premium. The hall held one of
Its largest crowds when the colonel began
to speak.
From the Illinois delegation Miss Jane
Addams was lifted over the press stand
to the platform. The colonel greeted her
with a handshake and the Roosevelt
grin. She took her place beside him. Way
up In the band gallery the musician
struck up "Onward, Christian Soldiers."
Ftom the delegates the words of the
hymn rose in a confused murmur. The
colonel etepped forward, raised both
hands and led the singing, chanting the
words himself. Mrs. Sunderland of Los
Angeles, an elderly woman, briskly scaled
the platform and was cordially greeted
by the colonel.
Two Alabama delegates, one a union
veteran, the other a confederate,
marched up to the platform arm in arm
and shook hands wtlh Colonel Roosevelt.
They were J. C. Holllngsworth, ex
eonfederate, and John M. Green, a union
veteran.
"Give us a southern democrat for vice
president and we'll break the solid
south." they told Colonel Roosevelt.
Good, the colonel responded. "I'll do
my very best to do It."
The excitement subsided a trifle, but
It broke out again as the band played
the "Battle Hymn of the Republic,"

CONVENTION GIVES
T, R. HIS OWN WAY
UPON EVERY POINT
(Continued from Page One.)
occurred at an all-night meeting of the
credentials committee, when the last of
the southern negro delegates was barred
from the (loor of the convention In a
close vote.
The vote stood 17 to IB against the
negroes, those from Mississippi, and im
mediately Julius T. Mitchell of Rhode
Island a-nd other eastern negroes joined
in crying that the deciding - ballot had
been cast by a questionable proxy on the
committee. Fairly sputtering indignation,
the negroes announced they would carry
the matter to Colonel Roosevelt for a
personal ruling on the point
The vote on the Mississippi case came
in a secret session of the committee at
8 o'clock this morning, a few hours
after both white and negro delegations
from Florida had been barred.
"This matter Is not settled yet," said
the Mississippi negroes when they learned
of the decision of the credentials com
mittee. "We will lay the matter before
Colonel Roosevelt himself today and ,if
necessary we will carry the fight to' the
floor of the convention." '
Contestanta Indignant,
The negroes were indignant, and excit
ably voluble throughout the sessions of
the committee, .which began at .S a'clocU
last night and continued until nearly
daybreak. The Mississippi contest was
the last to be taken up and it was be
gun shortly after midnight The national
committee had voted to unseat .the ne
groes, and they . appeared primed for
tfon headed by Provisional National Com
mitteeman B. F. Fridge was equivalent
to disfranchising the negro.
The Fridge delegation was elected at a
convention the call to which, was ad
dressed to "white" citizens of Mississippi.
The negroes were not allowed to take
part. Fridge told the committee that the
call was - written for him by J,ohn M.
Parker of Louisiana, who had urged him
to accept the. place as Roosevelt com
mitteeman for Mississippi.
Several of the negroes in the ousted dele
gation were among the delegates to the
republican national convention who stood
by Colonel Roosevelt and deserted the
republican convention In Chicago to at
tend the first progressive meeting, when
plans were made for the third party.
Hletory of Case.
They had issued a call for a progressive
convention in Mississippi before Fridge
was selected as national committeeman.
At the Instance of Senator Dixon, they
said, they withdrew this call,' to allow
Fridge to assume charge.' But when they
discovered that Fridge's call was ad
dressed only to "white" voters they called
another conventnon and elected ten white
men and ten negroes to cast Mississippi's
vote in the progressive convention.
The negroes bitterly complained that
the limiting of the Fridge convention to
"white", citizens invalidated , that gath
ering. , .' ... ... ... ; .
They declared that the seating of the
Fridge delegates would mean a . "lily
vhlte" progressive party in the south.
After a lengthy debate Committeeman
Richard W. Child of Massachusetts, pro
posed a motion seating the Fridge dele
gates, but disavowing the Fridge plan
of calling a "white" convention.
At the end of an hour many of the
committee had quit the room. A vote
was taken. It was so close that half a
dozen committeemen scurried out to
round up the absent members,. But t'hey
had departed for bed. The vote was dis
regarded and another vote was taken.
This time by a vote of 17 to Is, the fol
lowing resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That we regard the Fridge
delegates as entitled to seats in thin
convention, but disavow that part of the
call containing the word .t'white." We
approve the position taken In the letter
written to Julian Harris of Georgia by
Theodore Roosevelt.

Julus T. Mitchell of Rhode Island and

"We are willing to do almost anything
In the name of harmony,", said Dr. Can
non, "but not In the name of injustice."
Confronted with this decision the cre
dentials committee and the mass meeting
of Indignant negroes held here last
niglit to protest against Colonel Roose
velt's position in the matter, the negro
question today had the' delegates in an
uproar. The colonel was determined to
stand by his announced views and his
influence was seen in the action of the
credentials committee.
The situation threatened a bitter fight
on the floor of the convention should the
negroes adhere to their intention of carry
ing the contests to that point
The negroes have found a number of
wacm defenders among the white dele
gates and on the credentials committee
and while the great majority of the dele
gates desire to do exactly as Is wanted

SWELL ONES JEAR FOR FORS
Waiting for Yost, Who Has Promised
New Coats for Old.'
WILL THEY HAVE TO GO FTJRLESS
Seqael to Fire That Played Havoc
With Warerooms In Which
Garments Were Stored for
Wealthy Customers.
"Yes. but will he come back?"
A lot of Omaha society folks worrying
over that question are undergoing mental
shivers in midsummer in fear that they
will be without furs next winter.
The question worries them because
they had confided their garments to Yost,
the furrier, for safe-keeping,, and when
his storage warehouse suffered some
months ago from fire, the coats, Jackets
and muffs were left In a sorry Plight.
When the owners learned that Yost was
carrying fs.OGO insurance on the goods of
customers in his possession, and had
collected it without difficulty in cold,
hard cash, things began to look brighter.
At this moment he concieved a new idea
with the lure of making more money out
of their joint misfortune, by promising
to replace the damaged articles with new
ones on condition that he keep the rem
nants and make them ' over and sell
them for his own profit.
This looked so good that the proposi
tion was generally agreed to, and Yost
went east on a buying expedition to do
his part. That was several weeks ago,
and repeated Inquiries at his place of
business in the Baldrige-Wead building
have elicited decidedly unsatisfactory
answers. At any rate, tne landlord is
strongly tempted to. believe he has lost
a tenant although August 13 is the date
now set for the reappearance of the ab
sent fur man, for which the furless are
enxijusly waiting.
