REPUBLICAN
NATIONAL
CONVENTION
CcontInusa from FIRST Pagsl

Chicago. June 22.-The second days
session Of the thirteenth national con-
vention OF the Republican party was
called to order pursuant to adjourn
ment by Chairman Root. who an
nounced the Rev. Thomas E. Cox TO
oner the opening prayer.
Following the prayer the reports OF
The committees on credentials and per-
manent organization were read and
adopted. The latter recommended for
permanent chairman Of the convention
Hon. Joseph G. Cannon Of Illinois, who
Vas ESCORTED to the platform and intro
Guced by Temporary Chairman Root.
Mr. Cannon, after thanking the dele
gates for the great honor conferred
upon him. devoted his remarks princi-
pally to the subject Of a protective tar
IN. He said that the Republican policy
Of protection had fostered American
manufactures until now more than n
third Of ali the manufactured products
OF the globe were produced by Ameri-
can labor. which works shorter hours
and has more steady employment than
any people on earth and receives better
compensation.
After giving actual figures TO prove
this statement Mr.. Cannon said;
For more than sixty years the Dem.
ocratic party has denounced protection
as robbery. and their cry has been
sometimes "A tariff for revenue only,
sometimes for progressive free trade
throughout the world but whatever
the expression may be they have al
ways been ready when clothed with
power to run the dagger into the pro
tective policy. And such is still the po-
sition Of that party.
"In other words. n they are given
power the American manufacturer and
laborer win be gradually starved ia
death instead OF being destroyed at one
stroke. II reminds me of one Of Aesop &
fables, where the wolves proposed Ia
the sheep that they should discharge
the dogs. their natural protectors, and
place themselves under the protection
Of the wolves Does capital on the one
hand and labor on tho other desire
Sucn proteCUon
Mr.. Cannon briefly referred to the
trust question. He said that the Re.
publican party was fully alive TO the
Importance Of this evil, which had
come 70 the front with the great indus
trial progress Of the country. and had
enacted legislation within the consti
tuition prohibiting harmful combina.
tions Of capital. He continued;
President Roosevelt. our president
and our president to be, has kept his
oath to see 10 It that the laws are exc
cuted. And by the decisions Of tho
highest courts the Republican legisla
ton has been sustained and the laws
are being enforced. All are equal be
fore the law-the high and the mighty
Nthe meek and tho lowly. the oapitalis
and the laborer whose capital is hi.
muscle intelligently directed; the rici
and the poor-all. all have equality OF
opportunity before the law. and an. al
must abide and obey the law"
Mr.. Cannon reviewed at some length
the acts OF the present administration
and said:
I'VE enter the coming campaign witt

rss. and marked progress, along the

Wheeling. w. Va, March IA

in the ST. Clairsville jail. Scott Neal,
a prisoner shot and killed James Sut,
ton, another prisoner Immediately
the jailer drew gun and shot Neal.
The cause Of the shooting is not yet
known.
Sutton was in Jail awaiting trial for
killing Bert Fleming superintendent
of the Carnegie Steel works at Bell
aire and for the murder of Walter
Lopeman in the same town Ave years
ago.
Tonight's killing Is mystery. How
Neal secured his weapon is not known.
He shot Sutton In the jail enclosure,
blowing out his brains. The jailor
evidently feared he w,uld turn his
weapon on the guards and without
orders drew his own weapon and shot
Neal down in the Jail corridor.
A panic among the prisoners ell
sued and all was confusion for time.
The authorities are investigating to
determine the cause of the double

A DECISION MADE IN
MORSE DIVORCE
CASE
Proceedings May be Re-
opened.
ANNULMENT SET ASIDE

New York. March Judge TrauX
in the supreme court this afternoon
handed down decision in which he
grants the application of Charles w.
Morse to reopen the proceedings in
which the divorce granted to Clemence
Dodge from Charles F. Dodge, her first
husband, was annulled. Mr.. Morse,
who was formerly president OF the Am
crican Ice company, applied to the
court yesterday through his counsel,
Samuel Untermeyer, for permission to
intervene In the findings which annulled
the divorce. The decree annulling the
divorce, which was granted in 1898, was
LANDED down by Judge Clarke.
In his decision Judge Traux names
William G. Davies, a lawyer at No. 32
Nassau street, as referee and directs
him to take testimony to learn whether
or not the Dodge divorce was properly
iobtained and whether Or not Mr.. Dodge
was represented by counsel at the pro-
IceedinGs.
Judge TrauX's decision is tentative
victory for Mr.. Morse, for it gives All
opportunity to him to prove, if he can
that the divorce was legal. If he sue
Iceeds in doing this, Mrs. Morse will
be reinstated in her former position as
his wife. and annulment of their mar
.r.age will be naturally set aside.

MARX WAS A WITNESS

Chicago, H., March 1.-The begin
ming of the end in the car barn case
is at hand. The defense rested its
case today early in the afternoon ses-
sion. All that can be done in the mat
ter of direct evidence on behalf OF
Van Dine, Marx and Neidermeier, has
been accomplished
The interest of the day centered in
the appearance of Mrs, Marx on the
witness stand and the appeal of At
torney Popham, who, on behalf Of
Marx, sought the introduction of tes-
timony relating to the evil influence OF
his father on the character of the
young bandit before and after his
birth z
Mrs. Marx, who was the first witness
for her son, was hampered by the fact
that she cannot speak English well
Owing to Judge Kerstens decision
regarding the admission OF evidence
regarding her husband, her testimony
was cut short.
Neidermeier, whose plan has been to
prove an alibi, has been unable, or had
when court closed tonight, to get his
brother Paul to testify in his behalf
This leaves the Neidermeier defense
without a witness tomorrow.

HE|RESS
LONG MISSING HAS BEEN
LOCATED
AN ESTATE OF 500, 900
Involved and Case IS a
Strong One

Helena, Mont, March Through
the efforts Of the Helena police there
has been located In California Mrs.
Edmond D'Estray, the missing heir
ess to a half interest in 100000
estate in New Orleans. The case is a
strong one. On February 5th Edmond
D'Estray called on Chief of Police
Travis and told his story to the et-
feet that his home was in New Or
leans where he and his wife had liv-
ed until she came to Montana last
April to visit an uncle, wealthy res
ident of northern Montana. In the
meantime an uncle had died in New
Orleans leaving an estate valued at
100000 which was to be equally d.
vided between himself and wife.
After an absence Of several months
D'Estray failed to hear from his wife
and he sent friend of the family to
search for her. A Montana relative
wrote to D'Estray that Mrs. D'Estray
and the friend had disappeared TWO
days apart. D'Estray then came tn
Montana. The couple were traced 10
Helena where the last record of them
is found in September last. There
was nothing to indicate an intimacy
Of the usual sort between the two as
they occupied separate apartments in
respectable quarters.
The couple were finally traced to
California by the Helena police and
having been located, DiIstray has
been notified and is expected here to
morrow. D'Estray fears his wife is de-
mented. The estate cannot be settled
until Mrs. D'Estray's signature is OBJ
tanned.
