and they give tone to the affair.
The brotherhood convention will as
semble at $50 this morning in Market
hall. 1t is believed that little will be
doue today further than to name some
committees and to review the creden-
tials for the 524 divisions to be repre-
sented. The sessions of the convention
will continue from day 10 day at Market
hall.

tainment of The delegates to both bodies
and the visitors has not been COM
pleted. On Tuesday afternoon the
guests will 20 out to Fort Smelling,
where they will witness a dress parade
OF the federal troops. and be further en-
tertained by band concert. Ap-
plication was made to the 'Alilwaukee"
road yesterday fur special train
to take the party to Fort Smelling.
will be Invited to put in an afternoon at
White Bear. Minneapolis will also
extend an invitation to visit that city.
The convention will act on the various
invitations when received, and its pleas
ure trips will be arranged so as not to
interfere with the business sessions of
the convention.
The local committees as we'll as the
resident engineers and their families
are eXerting their best endeavors to
make the stay of the visitors pleasant.
The citizens showed their good will in
many ways and many OF them by dec.
Grating tue buildings. Judge Cory was
one of the men to call at headquarters
and assure the men that law and justice
were with them. Many other citizens
were around looking up acquaintances
and making new ones.
Among the many matters to be con-
sidered by the convention, one is the
settlement of differences between men
and the roads. Chief Arthur is known
to favor the plan of arbitration boards
appointed by the federal government,
with branches in the states. He be-
lieyes that congress should provide for
board of arbitration similar to the in.
terstate commerce commission. with
permanent officers. This matter is al
ready under discussion and agitatlon.
The election of officers of both bodies
is canvassing also. Chief Arthur holds
over for two years more, but the post
tion of assistant chief engineer, now
held by A. B. Youngson, will be retilled,
as well as others: the vacancy as sec
ond grand engineer, made vacant by
the election of Ii. G. Hays as presi-
dent of the insurance department.
George W. Vroman, of North
Platte, Neb., is candidate for
this position. The auxiliary will elect
an entirely new set of officers. The
present officers of the auxiliary are:
Grand president, Mrs. w. A. Murdock,
of Chicago; grand vice president. Mrs.
Mary E. Cassell, of Columbus, o. :grand
secretary, Mrs. Harry st. Clair. of
Logansport, Ind: grand treasurer, Mrs.

out and lis face scratched and his body
bruised. Mrs. Rausch and daughter

One of the fruitful topics for discus
sion is the relation of the A. r. u. to
the brotherhood, and it is probable the
convention will make provision for
some course to be pursued in emergen-
cies similar to that arising during the
recent Great Northern strike.

This Morning.
The examination of Henry Dickman,
the young man who several weeks ago
shot his father, will come up in the
police court this morning. The shoot.
ing, it will be remembered. was
the result of charges of the most
revolving character being made
by the laos sister against her

that the elder Dickman would die from
the bullet wound, but, although the
chances at the time were against his
recovery, he pulled through ana will be

CHICAGO, May S.-Louis Schumann
is Il poet from st. Paul. His ad ddress
when he is at home is ia East Isabel
street. At present he has apartments
at the Harrison street police station,
where he was taken tonight, together
with his collection of poems. which he
claims is worth S10O. 900. Schumann
came to Chicago week or two ago and
secured accommodations at ahotel on
elhe North side. He had his bundle Of
poems with him, and these he offered as
security, The landlord declined to ac-
cept the ''geps Of thought" and the st.
Paul man was rudely thrown out of the
place. The poet then moved to the
Auditorium hotel. He took possession
of the reading and writing room. and
had his mail addressed to the hotel
desk. Clerk Kennedy was kept busy
listening to what the reading room
lodger called real St. Paul poe Try
Here is one of sixteen stanzas valued at
$1,000. entitled 1.-The Coxey Army"
which Mr. Kennedy was asked to listen
to:
You've herd sum fulish talk around the
country oversprad, -:
That now man Is making up an army;
you would bet
Some hundred thousand they intend to make
appearance soon
By Cleveland in Washington some April in
the noon.

poems. Here is one of the twelve
verses of 1t: =
My very heart and sole alone p rs !.
Are you and no one here;
may be very far away, u
but get there when I'm near.
This grated rather harshly on Mr..
Kennedy's poetic nature, but he
made no vigorous objections to
the presence of the st. Paul
man until the last poem he read to
him was Offered as payment for the use
OF suite of rooms Oh the parior floor.

TO PROTECT PLAYwRIGHrs.

Bills Before Congress of Interest
to the Drama.

Dranatists' club; Charles Bernard, j. +.
Clarke. David Belasco and Harrison
Grey Fiske and other persons interested
i'll the drama are actively at work in the
Interest of bills now pending in co ~
gress for the protection of playwrights
and theatrical managers. The object
sought is the extension of the Jurisdc-
ton of the United States circuit courts
so that when an injunction is granted
restraining the production of any dra-
matte or operate work by travelling
theatrical organizations the injunc-
tion shall operate in all other circuits
of the United States, unless set aside
after proper notice and hearing. rhe
bills are before the senate and house
committees on patents.
In statement made to the senate
committee today MIR. Howard declared
that the evil of pirating plays has grown
TO such an extent that writers and man-
ayers who pay large prices for the writ,
ing of plays for the past ten years have
given up copyrighting them. The busi-
ness of piraiing, he said, had come about
as a result of the changes in the
theatrical business from local stock
companies to travelling companies. 1t
was business that defied the laws. and
it had grown so as TO demand the at
tention of congress.
MIR. Howard pointed out that injunc-
tions to restrain the production of plays
by piratical companies accomplished
nothing, for as soon as an injunction
was issued the party on whom it was
obtained would move out OF the juristic-
ton Of the court. The business inter-
ests involved in this plrating, he de-
clared, were enormous.
Mr. Howard read numerous letters
from theater managers saying that it
was impossible to secure any protection
under existing laws.
Mr.. Howard received assurances that
the bill ne advocated would bs reported
to the senate favorably without amend
ment.

THE OUTLOOK FOR NATIONAL AID.
Public Opinion Setting Toward the Ideas
Of Clay and Calhoun.


Public Opinion Setting Toward the Ideas
Of Clay and Calhoun.
General Roy Stone writes Is follows
to the New York Tribune:
The outlook for national action In
favor of road improvement is steadily
Frightening. The bill for q national
highway commission-strenuously advo-
Gated by The Tribune-was passed by
the senate and favorably reported In the
house, where 1t will doubtless pass In
December. Many members Of congress
are prepared to go much further in the
same direction. More than score Of
newspapers in all parts Of the country
have pronounced in favor Of national
aid, and it was the leading topic in one
Of the state road conventions held last
week.
The boards Of trade throughout the
country, numbering 1900, with men,
bership Of 100000 business men and
firms, are moving in the matter with q
leaning toward national action. The
League of American Wheelmen, with
nearly an equal number of supporters,
are untiring in their devotion to the good
work, and it was to their efforts almost
entirely that the rapid progress Of the
commission bill was due.
Our people have learned through the
consular reports on foreign roads, which
have been eagerly sought for and wide
ly distributed, that all over the world
roads are prime concern of ma
tional governments, and the current Of
public opinion is setting strongly toward
return to the ideas of Clay and Cal
houn and the legislation of that era,
when it was declared the duty of the
government "to bind the republic to-
gether with roads," and many national
roads were begun.
Much study is being given to the pos
sible methods of national aid, and the
idea of cooperation by local, state and
national authorities in general system
VT road construction is we'll received. A
leading member of congress, who has
had large experience in state and ma
tional finance, pronounces this plan,
with its use of the joint credit to tighten
the burden, "a great discovery" an
other says he shall make it leading
feature in his campaign for reelection;
still another says that when its advan-
tages are known it will "sweep the
country"
1t is proposed now to have something
like a continual congress on the subject
at the Worlds fair in connection with d
road annex, containing every kind Of
road exhibit and object lesson attain
able, and it Is believed that by its close
some definite scheme of improvement
will be developed that will command
the attention and action of the national
authorities.
