The flame, which leaped high inta

wooden flooring of t fir viaduct and
' the pitrii-soaked timhert burning like
tinner.
Firrmcn were handicapped in fight
ing the - flame because of the stiff
wind from the nirthwesf. the huae
tank of the Standard Oil company,
located at the, extreme cant of the
structure being for a time endangered.
Timber Burn.
Th-? timberi and false work of the
viaduct for nearly 00 feet were to
tally burned away, and the strel woik
no badly warocd by the intttiae heat
that it will have to be replaced. Tele
phone tabic running parallel to the
structure were melted,
The heat of the flamca twisted the
street tar rails into grotesque shapes.
While other property in the neigh
borhood of t lie viaduct wa in danger
for more than an hour, the fire de
partment succeeded in gaining control
of the blaze alter a atubboru fight. -
The viaduct waa rapidly nearing
completion and street can were to

part of the structure will probably

ment, but despite the coincidence,
maintains there it nothing in dreams.

The city commissioner wrapped
themselves up in large overcoat and

Snyder Looks Up the Home Folks
Who Are at Chicago Convention
BY EDGAR C, SNYDER.
Chicago, June 8. (Special Tele-
g;ram.)--"Straight shead" was Sena
tor Harding'a ciiivisnd to the na
tional republican convention, and
"straight ahead," but "watch your
step" will probably be the party's
slogan in conformity to the keynoter's
pronouncement made under excep
tional circumstances, to nearly 15,000
people crowded into Chicago's big
Coliseum to watch the development
of as fine a game of politic as had
been played for lo, these many years.
Senator Harding was in fine fettle
and the keynote address wai received
with ringing cheers as he epigram-
matically told of the mishaps and bad
performance of tru democrat. While
the speech waa brilliantly delivered
it will read better than it sounded, for
it breathes simple honesty and con
ciliation in every line. It waa a "get
together" speech, fin ly phrased and
with sufficient punch to tickle the
ears and the senses of the most blase
"old guardsmen" sitting with the
delegates or looking on from the be
decked galleries upon the most in
spiring of scenes.
National Committeeman ft. IS.
Howell said of Harding's keynote
address: "It was a very able effort
and such as to command the earnest
attention of the entire country."
Chairman Curney of the Nebraska
delegation said the speech of the tem
porary chairman for the convention
was most admirable. He thought that
while it possibly lacked the enthusi
asm ot other keynote speeches, it
would more than make up for this
loss in its clearness of definition of
what the republican party stands for.
Ex-Congressman Pollard thouKht
that while Senator Harding's ellort
lacked rhetorical finish, the message
embodied in it wss most convincing.
full of epigram and alliterations at
once startmgly striking,
"It wss a splendid speech," said
Gould Diets, "full of homely truths,
and will sllord no end of deputation
when the presidential delegation gets
under way."
In this connection may I wander

NATIONAL CONVENTION OPENED General view of the Coliaeum at Chicago upon the
Republican convention Wednesday noon, showing the delegatea and large sections of the
is Vermont, at the head of whose
delegation sits a distinguished citizen,
Theodore N. Vail, president of the
western Union 'and the American
Telephone and Telegraph company.
As for the Coliseum itself, it is
immensely improved since that very
memorable convention of four years
ago which was called to order by
the then chairman of the national re
publican committee, Victor Rosewater,
editor of The lice. It is a much more
sightly interior than formerly, the
decoration arc more harmonious and
less garish, while over the stage, oc
cupied by the national committee and
the officers of the convention, hangi
a splendid life-sized painting of Abra
ham Lincoln, framed in electric light.
Now a word about the personnel of
the convention. As a matter of fact
it is a much more substantial looking
body of men than that of four year
ago. It is a cleaner looking conven
tion, and better groomed than its pre
decessor of 1012. and this is said
nevertheless and notwithstanding
what Nell Brinkley thinks about the
"ugly men" who contribute to the
assembly. Dut Nell Brinkley is not
the lone newspaper woman in the
press gallery, "not by a jug full."

and Sam Blythe and Kin Hubbard
and William Jennings Bryan and Ar
thur Brisbane and ever so many niore
brilliant writers, making altogether
the most impressive "Fourth Estate"
I have seen in a national convention
in twenty years.
One of those wise "ginks" who are
always on the lookout for the out-of-the-way
stuff, has said there are 400
lawyers in the convention, and a hun
dred or so bankers and real estaters
and stork raisers and other bone and

does look like a business convention
which will be thoroughly and com-
fdetely deomnstrated in my humble

convention from Nebraska are pres

A national republics!, convention
would not be complete nor anywhere
as interesting if Luther Drake of
Omaha failed to show up at the prop
er moment. Mr. Drake arrived yes
terday and is keenly enjoying the
matching of political minds in their
efforts to nominate a presidential can
didate who will be acceptable to all
factions.
Gerrit Fort, passenger traffic man
ager of the Union 1'acific, now a resi
dent of Chicago, but who still has a
very warm spot in his heart for
Omaha, looked in on the Nebraska
headquarters today, meeting manv old
friends. Mr. Fort thinks the selection
of Mr, Calvin to be president of the
Union 1'acific, vice Mr. Mohler, re
signed, was wholly logical and that
Mr. Calvin will prove to be the right
man for the place.
John T. Bressler of Wayne, one of

SOUTH'S STRENGTH
IN CONVENTION CUT
Ecpublican Committee on Rules and
Order of Business Reduces It
to 89 Delegates.
EOWELL SUGGESTS A CHANGE
Chicago, June 8. By a vote of 28
to 6 the republican convention's com
mittee on rules and order of buMiness
today approved the present basis of
apportionment of delegates to the na
tional convention, made by the na
tional committee in December, 191.1,
and later endorsed by every state con
vention, which reduced the represen
tation of southern states to eighty
nine delegates. Under this rule each
slate is given four delegates-at-largc
and one delegate for each congres
sional district; with an additional del
egate in each district casting 7,500
or more republican votes.
National Committeeman R. H.
Howell of Nebraska attempted to
have the rule on representation in the
national convention reduced by fix
ing the number of dclo?ales to four
at large for each state and one for
every 10,000 republican votes cast at
the previous presidential or congres
sional election. T he change suggested
in a modification of the Burke plan,
defeated in the party's convention
of I'M.
Irvin B. Tucker of North Carolina
was the only representative of a
southern state to support the sugges
tion that the south' representation be
cut down. He wanted congressional
districts which cast less than 2,000 re
publican votes deprived of delegate
representation.
hook or crook and as a result was
able to make a number of Ncbras
kans happy by giving them tickets to
the opening session ot the conven
tion. W. F, Gurley of Omaha is here
shouting loudly fur Hughe. While
a bit disappointed that he could not
come to Chicago as a delegate, he is
happy in being able to send up his
voice for the justice.
