Brilliant Decorations.
Convention hall presented a brill
liant scene this morning. Hanging as
a sort of canopy above the single
gallery long festooned strip of
red white and blue bunting was
stretched from end to end, and along
each side of the vast amphitheater
From each point where the bunting
was caught up was suspended a
large hanging basket of graceful
ferns. Above every second one
there was tastefully-ar
group of five American flags, in the
folds of which reposed the picture of
President Roosevelt Between these
stands of flags, boughs of trees were
placed, the green foliage affording
a pleasant relief to the eye.
Hanna's Picture i'm View.
The steel roof girders were en-
twined with green foliage and each
girder bore another portrait of the
president. At the south end of the
hall, on a temporary stand, the First
Regiment band held forth. At the
north end was strung a large pla-
card announcing, Under This Ban
ner Both Harrison and Mckinley
Were Twice Nominated "
An immense oil painting of the
late Senator Hanna lighted from
above by electricity and draped with
flags, was suspended directly over
the speakers platform, the furniture
of which is of dark Flemish oak,
with the exception of the chair and
desk of the presiding officer, which
is mahogany.

BUSINESS MEN ARE UP IN ARMS
AGAINST PROPOSED T.R& ?. GRAB

Aroused by the danger with which
the industrial growth of Tacoma
would be threatened If the uncondi-
tional electric power franchise asked
for by the T.. r. Il p. company is
granted, prominent business men Of
Tacoma have organized to protect the
city interests. That members of the
city council may know how strong
is the feeling against granting the
franchise in its present form, petit
tion signed by the most prominent
generally will be presented to the
council tomorrow. The text of the
petition follows:

the council of the city of Tacoma an
ordinance to grant franchise to the
Tacoma Railway a. Power company,
a similar ordinance in favor of the
Puget Sound Electric railway having

the franchise as provided in said or

Nav Rush Convention.

A tentative effort was made by the
new York delegates this morning to
rush the program of the convention
and thus complete all business by
tomorrow night. Many delegates be-
lieved that with the ticket settled in
advance it would be fruitless to drag
the convention over two days.
Everything Cut and Dried.
The question of an early adjourn
ment rests entirely within the discre-
tion of the convention. Chairman
Payne of the national committee said
that there is a strong undercurrent
favorable to an early adjournment.
Senator Foraker says he would not
be surprised if the business of the
convention should be concluded by
Wednesday night. Ex-Governor Black
of New York also is of the opinion
that the convention ought to be put
through with snap, as everything is
cut and dried.

Great Boom for Bethel.

This town is on the verge of the
greatest industrial development in its
history owing to the placing upon the
market of Bethel white granite, the
stone which is to be used in the con-
struction of the union railway station at
Washington ID. c., the gateway of a
nation
Bethel white granite is a stone of the
purest whiteness, fecked or notified
with just enough small gray spots to
produce warm tint and a beautiful
texture. As far as chemical components
are concerned, it is the purest granite
that has yet been discovered, being
practically 80 per cent. pure quartz. In
the early days of Vermont railroad
ing these quarries were know and
worked for the construction of railroad
bridges and culverts, but the demand for
white stone as building material is a
recent development, probably caused by
the introduction of marble as a building
stone and by the desire of architects to
make buildings, which are to be of a
monumental character, of pure white.
For this Bethel white granite proves an
ideal material
The stone was brought into the market
for building purposes by E. B. Ellis of
Northfield about two years ago when he
obtained possession of a large area of
land here containing the stone. In 1903
the f. B. Ellis Granite company was
formed and landed as the first big con-
tract the award for the union railway
station at Washington. The contract
was won in the face of the greatest
opposition from every quarter.
