their recognizing imperialism as the para mount question to get unanimous report, the unanimous adoption of which by the convention makes the fight for silver now backed by united instead of divided party as in 1896, In many speeches before the committee I advanced this. Had my hands been tied by the Alabama delega- ton by instructions which were offered but defeated, the vote in the committee would have been tie instead of two ma jority for the silver advocates and we would now have a different platform from the one adopted.
 'All agree now, however, that what was done was best. With a united party and just cause and with the enthusiasm that will go out to all parts of the nation from this great convention of a great party of the greatest nation on earth with leader whom history will record the greatest, the truest and bravest American, we can con- fidently look forward to a deserved vic- tory.

Judge SEodgrass 1 Sore

Chattanooga, Tenn, July 5.-Chief Jus tice David L. Snodgrass candidate for United States Senator and a prominent ex- pansionist, commenting upon the Philippine plank of the Kansas City platform, said:
 "The abandonment of the Philippine Islands while the world is horror-wrought at the brutal butchery of all Christian rep resentatives, supposedly of all Christian people in China, and while we were making these islands our base of operations to sustain our burden of the worlds duty to humanity there, it is matter of con- graduation to the party that the platform went no further-that it did not contain a resolution of sympathy with the Boxers or at least of pathetic petition that they would consent to be governed and Jet us enjoy the right to leave battleships there long enough any way to receive and ship the bodies of our murdered dead"

GREAT BOOM FOR
 DAVID B. HILL All That is Now Needed is His
 Consent. THE AlABAMIANS FOR HIM A Poll of the Delegation Shows Eigh- teen Out of Twenty Are in Fa-
 vor of Hill-Stevenson
 Strong Factor
BY E. W, BARRETT

Kansas City, July 5.-(Special)-1n the Vice Presidential contest tomorrow morn ing Alabama will yield her place to Florida nomination Danforth appeared before the Alabama delegation this afternoon and made this request.
 This evening Judge Augustus Van Wyck quested that Alabama yield her place to the New York delegation to put John W. Kel- Ter in nomination. The Alabama delega- ton had, however, yielded to DanfoTth's to so notify the Florida delegation. An ef- fort was made to reconsider, but 1t failed.
 Though Alabama's place in the roll e9ll will be used by Flordia to put Elliot F. that the Alabamians will vote for Dan- forth. Indeed poll of the delegation today showed eighteen of the twentytwo dele- gates for Hill tonight. Hill told the repre- sentatives of the delegation that he did not want the nomination, and that he hoped no one would present his name. He was for Danforth. Thus Hill is to push Dan- forth as against Keller, who is put for ward by Croker and Tammany. Hill can not win with Danforth, but he can win himself if he will allow his name to be used.
 While the contest is on tonight in the New York delegation Adlia Stevenson of Illinois is being pushed to the front and in- dications are that either he or David B. Hill will be the Vice Presidential nominee tomorrow.
 Hill can be nominated if he will say the word but. like Roosevelt, he seems to be strenuously opposed to accepting 1t to- night, He may change tomorrow.

Total nl1rnber of days 97. o31

Total number of days, 27 231.
 At 50 cents a day for each prisoner this equals $13,615.50.
 Total income from police department, $32, ,902. .96.
 Average pay roll per month, $3,130; total for year. $37, ,560.
 Excess of expenses, account of pay rolls, $4,657.04.
 I believe that if the force were increased to an adequate number of men to protect all portions of the city the receipts would more than equal the expenses. We need at least twenty-five more men on the force. As at present constituted the force is not sufficient to protect the business portion of the city, as each patrolman has four blocks to his beat, and the residence por- tion has no protection at all.
 In a trial before Judge Feagn of the In- ferior Court a few days ago a 4risoner stated that he watched the patrolman pass down First avenue and turn into Eigh- teenth street and he then crawled through the transom into a store, knowing that he would have time to get what he wanted and escape before the policeman could go around four blocks and return. claim that there should be at least one patrolman to each block in the business portion of the city, and that a sufficient number should be stationed in the residence por- tion to give protection to the citizens in their homes.
 We need a larger fire department, and think the Mayor and Aldermen should be urged to re-eStablish the stations at East End and at West End, and that a new sta- tion should be located on the North High lands. This addition to the present depart ment would give us a first class rating with the insurance companies and give us the protection we need. If we were to have two fires in different portions of the city at the same time the present department could not cope with them. So far as it goes the Birmingham fire department is one of the best in the country and is man. ned by brave and experienced firemen un- der the direction of thoroughly compe- lent chief but 1t is too small fer city of Birmingham size.
 was chairman of the committee this bodv appointed to cooperate with committees from the Commercial Club and the City Council in an investigation of the Metropol- 1tan hotel fire, and after a careful and exhaustive investigation, the only conclu- sion we could arrive at was that the fire department was too small to successfully fight a fire of the magnitude of that which destroyed the Metropolitan hotel and other buildings
 I respectfully submit these remarks for your careful consideration, and renew my motion for the appointment of committee of three to cooperate with similar commit tee from the Commercial Club in taking steps towards securing larger police force and larger fire department. Respectfully submitted, G. ROTHOLZ
 After brief discussion the paper was McGowan is chairman. A strong effort will be made to have the City Council take the needed action for an increase in the police and fire departments.
 The board adjourned subject to the call of the president.

A NEwsBoY's INJURY.


The carelessness exercised by newsboys
in jumping on street cars to sell their pa
pers came near resulting in the death of
Willie Stanton, young lad, yesterday
afternoon at the corner of Market and
Pennsylvania streets. The Stanton boy
jumped on a south-bound car near Ohio
street, and at Market street he started to
alight while the car was in motion. He
jumped off backwards and was thrown to
the ground with great force. his head strik-
ing the asphalt pavement. The car was
stopped and the lad was picked up in an
unconscious condition and carried into
Pomeroy's drug store. DR.. Charles Wright
attended him. and after working with the
boy a short time he regained consciousness.
II is feared he suffered a conclusion OF the
brain. DIR. Wright removed him to his
home. 612 Arch street.

BENJAMIN sHALLMAN ARRESTED AT
INSTANCE OF M'KEE q son.
He Claimed to Represent n Quincy,

A man giving the name OF Benjamin
shallman was arrested yesterday by Bicy-
Gle Policemen STREET. and Trimpe wednes-
day he went TO Mckee & Son, on South
Meridian street, and bought bill OF goods
amounting TO 1915. In payment he rendered
a check signed by Charles Kessell & Son,
OF Quincy, Ill. He claimed. TO be a member
OF the hrm, and said he was on purchas-
ing trip.
After his departure Mckee & Son wired
the Kicker National Bank of Quincy, upon
which the check was drawn, asking for
information relative to the man and the
firm Of Kessell & Son. The reply was that
the man was a fraud and was wanted in
ST. Louis and Chicago for forgery. The
telegram was followed with a letter OF
confirmation
Yesterday morning Shaliman called UP
Mckee & Son by telephone and asked II
they could cash check for him, as he was
out OF funds. He was told they could, and
when he called at the store he was con-
fronted by the bicycle police. He professed
innocence OF the meaning of the telegram
and letter from Quincy when they were

A TRAINLOAD OF MEN
BOUND FOR ST. LOUIS TO TAKE THE
PLACES OF STRIKERS.
A Considerable Number Deserted the
Train Here-They Ate Like
Starved Beings.

For a number of days the Eastern papers
ing columns announcements that street-car
men were wanted in st. Louis, and that
conductors and motcrmen would be paid
20 cents per hour and gripmen would be
given p cents. Offer was also made of
steady employment board and lodging
guaranteed.
Several weeks ago number of men left
this city for st. Louis, but nothing has been
heard of them since, and Ii is not known
whether they are employed there or not
Yesterday it was rumored that about
twenty-five men would leave here some
time during the day with a trainload of
men from the East.
About o'clock special train on the
Pennsylvania line passed through here en-
route to ST. Louis The passengers were
street-car men from Philadelphia, Balti-
more and other cities About two hundred
men came into indianapolis on the train,
but of these dozen or more deserted after
sampling the free lunch provided for them
at the Union Station. The men rushed for
the lunch as if they had been starved. and
one said the coffee, ham sandwiches and
pie furnished was much better diet than
the sandwiches and cold tea which had
been furnished on the trip.
The inducements held out to the men for
employment were such that men were
easily secured, but as they neared their
destination and heard more of the st. Louis
troubles 1t became evident that the jobs
were not the most desirable, and few men
deserted a each station. There was ex-
citing talk among the men when IT was said
that the strikers there were planning to
meet them at the station with Winchester
rifles.
Inquiry among street-car men here
showed no knowledge of Indianapolis men
| joining the party. and it is believed that no
one went from here.

THE RELIEF OF MAFEKING
WAS NOTHING COMPARED To A
SCENE on PARK AVENUE.
Much Excitement Caused by the Inn
prisonment of Youngster Who
Was After Cherries.

After the relief of Mafeking and the. re-
lease of Colonel Baden-Powell all England
went frantic for several days, but this
demonstration in honor of a hero was
dimmed into obscurity yesterday afternoon
when a small boy named Sullivan was re-
leased from an alright closet in a
woman's house on Park avenue. The boy
with a companion was on his way from
school and passing through an alley near
Twenty-frst street, spied some luscious
cherries hanging over a fence. When the
boys passed the front of the house the
place seemed vacant and they started in
TO fill their pockets with the red fruit.
All was serene for time and the two
youths were patting each other on the
hack because of their good fortune. at
the same time taking their share of the
cherries. Soon loud screams came from the
direction of the house and the two young
sters slid to the bottom of the tree to in
vestigate from whence the noise came.
They found Ii. The house which they had
thought was uniahabited now seemed full
of life and they attempted hasty exit.
One of the boys succeeded in escaping,
but the other WAS caught with his body
half over the fence. The object which had
uttered the scream a moment before now
appeared in the person of a woman about
forty years of age. large and strong. She
grabbed the wriggling form on the fence
and with many slaps and jerks dragged
him to the inner recesses of the house. On
the inside she placed the frightened
youngster in a closet, locked all the doors
about the house and ran to the nearest
telephone to call up the police station.
In the meantime the crying and wailine
OF the imprisoned boy attracted a crowd
of several hundred neighbors and also
many school children from the two schools
near by. The cause of the trouble was
soon made known to everyone present and
the young boys who had gathered did not
approve OF the womans action and hurled
sticks and other missiles against the
house, demanding the release of their com
rade. The woman was angry and strutteo
about the yard defying any one to attemp,
the rescue of the boy.
Ii soon became apparent to the throne
outside that the woman was obdurate, anC
one little girl who was in buggy rode
off to the boys home on Columbia avenue
and told the news of the boys imprison.
ment to his mother. Before the arrival OF
mis- parent, word had been sent from the
police station TO the district policeman
Lewis Montgomery, and he came and soor
effected the release of the boy.
The boy was brought from the darl
closet, seemingly more dead than alive. His
face was CHASTITY in its pallor and ht
could not speak for some moments. He wa:
taken from the grasp of his mother by his
jubilant schoolmates and a great hurraf
was sent up. After supper all lessons were
forgotten and the evening was given ovel
to riotous demonstrations among the youns
people of the neighborhood and youns
Sullivan was the hero of the hour.

1t Is Now known That Some Went to
ST. Louis.

1t is now known in union labor circles
that number of street-car men OF this
city have gone to ST. Louis to take the
places of strikers. Several went from the
West Washington-street barns, but the
exact number is not known. These are the
only men actually in the employ of the
Indianapolis company who quit their places
TO go TO ST. Louis. Other men who are out
of employment are said to have gone. but
the entire movement has been so quiet that
only within the last few days have the
labor leaders been on their guard to watch
the exodus.
The labor leaders say the men who left
are part of the crowd that was so detr-
mental TO the formation of a street-car
mems union in this city, and that they
" ere largely responsible for the recent fail
ure TO organize the men. So far as stopping
the expectation from indianapolis is con-
cerned the local unions are powerless.
There being no street-car mems union no
pressure whatever can be brought to bear
that will stop an overflow to the Mound
City. In the last few days no men have
gone to st. Louis. but Ii is understood fur
Their effort will be made TO solicit motormen
and conductors to take the strikers places.
The officials of the trades unions of this
city are now well aware of what is being
done and any assistance that will aid the
St. Louis union will be rendered, but the
only help Indianapolis can give, because of
the present situation. will be in a financial
way and TO keep the st. Louis union in
