CONVENTION GOES TO WORK.
Thomas ID. Riordan Calls the Repub-
Iican Delegates to Order.

Thomas D. Riordan, chairman of the
Republican County Committee. called
the convention to order at S:45 o'clock.
Fer some minutes noise and confusion
prevailed, but Riordan's insistence that
the business of the convention would
not be taken up until quiet prevailed
had the desired effect, and the dele
gates settled down.
The call of the roll developed full
attendance and Chairman Riordan i'm
mediately called for nominations for
temporary chairman of the convention.
John S. Partridge of the Thirty-fifth
Assembly District took the platform
and placed in nomination George A
MCGOWAN of the Forty second District.
Mr.. Partridge pointed to the fact that
the work before the convention was not
great. but it was important and that
such convention needed a strong hand
to direct its deliberations. He then
presented the name of MCGOWAN, who
was, elected by reclamation.
Mr.. Partridge and George r. Wells
were called upon to escort Mr. Nc
Gowan to the platform. Upon reaching
the platform Mr.. Wells took advan-
tage of the opportunity to introduce

Rulings That Make

Destruction Of Competition
Not Regarded as VIC
lStiOn Of Law.
Trend of Opinions Handed Down by
the New York JuriSt and
His Associates.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Sept 26.-George B.
Cortelyou and his associates on the Re
publican National Committee to-day
attacked Judge Parker's record on
trust decisions. In an interview given
for publication William Dudley Foulke
of Indiana, formerly Civil Service Com
missioner under President Roosevelt,
said in part:
Judge Parker declares the common
law principles can be applied by the
United States courts to trusts in cases
involving interstate commerce. 1t is,
therefore, interesting TO inquire what
are these common law principles, as in
terpreted by Judge Parker himself and
by his associates on the bench of the
Court Of Appeals.
The Court of Appeals has some
times been extremely liberal in allow
ing individuals and corporations TO
combine in such a manner as to control
trade In Wood VS.. Whitehead Bros.
Company the opinion of the court, in
which Judge Parker concurred, says:
Contracts between parties which have
for their object the removal of rivals
and competitors in business are not TO
be regarded as contracts in restraint
Of trade. They do not close the field
OF competition, except TO the particular
present day that such contract as was
made IN this case was affected by pub
lie interest and was a matter of pub
lie concern would be unreasonable
Under such a view Of the law it
would not be a difficult matter for any
trust to eliminate competition, even
without buying the plants and property
Of its competing rivals. II could make
agreements with such competitors and
thus acquire an ultimate monopoly.
In another case, where the terms
of a contract were particularly fla
grant, Judge Parker decided against
an agreement creating a monopoly.
Reconciling these authorities, it may be
said that, under the law as established
by the Court of Appeals, trusts are re-
quired to observe certain skill as to the
forms Of their consultations; but, if
they understand how to do il, combina-
lions TO control trade can be made with
impunity. 1t is easy to see why the
nomination of Judge Parker has been
satisfactory to many of the trusts"

Special Dispatch to The Call

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-Believing
that in the arrest Of Alonzo J. White
man IL has captured the leader Of a
band Of forgers that has caused enor-
nous losses in the past year, the Amer
ican Banking Association was to-day
sending the good news TO all Of its
members.
Whiteman was living at the Hotel
jefferson in St. Louis under the name
Of George II. Prentice In his pockets.
when searched, was an undated check
for $1,000 on the New Amsterdam Bank
al this city, drawn in his favor. Sew
eral other checks, check perforators,
dates. rubber stamps and other para
phernalia. were found in his room.
Whiteman was charged with having
raised drafts on the Fidelity Trust
Company Of Buffalo. the drafts having
been purchased from country banks in
this state and originally being for
small amounts.
Graduated from the Columbia Law
School 10 which he had come from
Hamilton College, Whiteman is well
known 10 many persons in this city
After his graduation he went to Du-
luth, Mimi. where he began TO practice
law. He was elected Mayor of that
city and was sent 10 the Legislature.
T1e became an active politician and was
al one time chairman of the Demo-
cratic state Central Committee sue
cessful in business ventures, he some
wears ago was reputed 10 be worth
nearly million dollars. but he lost his
fortune in speculation and became the
associate Of reputed professional
fOrgers and sWindlers.
Arrested and sentenced to imprison-
rnent many times. Whiteman has in
several instances escaped Incarceration.
His record. furnished by the Pinkerton
Detective Agency, whose men assisted
in his capture BY the police Of St.
Louis. shows that he was arrested in
1895 in san Francisco for forgery. He
was convicted and sentenced to nine
wears Imprisonment. but secured a new
trial and was released on a techni-
Cslity.
IN 1898 he was arrested in st. Louis
and transferred 10 Chicago, where he
was sentenced 10 one years imprison-
ment and a fine Of $1,000. He appealed
and was released on bail The decision
Of the lower court was affirmed and
Whitemsn failed TO appear.

Mr.. MCGOWAN, and Chairman Riordan,
who was prepared to fill this inn
portant Office, had to stand aside and
look astonished during the ceremony.
A smile spread over the faces Of the
delegates. as Wells, his task completed,
left the platform. MCGOWAN, address
ing the convention, said:
thank you sincerely for the honor you have
Of my gratitude Enough a young man 1 am
and always have been a Republican not be-
cause my parents were Republicans, but be-
cause my own research and observation have
led me to believe that the measure OF prosperity
of the nation is always gagged by the as
tendency of Republican principles.
ACHIEVEMENTS OF PARTY.
Mr.. MCGOWAN then directed his re-
marks to the achievements of the Re-
publican party and az recital of the
career of President Roosevelt and the
influence his policy has had in histor-
ical events. of recent years At the
conclusion of his address nominations
for secretary were called for. j. b.
sykes was named for the office. but
opposition to his candidacy developed
in the Thirty fifth ana Thirty-sixth
districts. which favored Harry Hall for
the Office. A rollcall resulted in the
election of Sykes, but upon motion of
A. Reuf Hall was named assistant sec
rotary.
Motions that committees of nineteen,
one from each assembly district and
one at large, be appointed on creden-
tiaIs. permanent organization and or
der of business and platform and res
olutions prevailed, and the chair ap-
pointed the following:

animated judicial and legislative tick

nominated judicial and legislative tick
cts.
The only jar Of the session grew out
of the failure or refusal of the CHAIR
man. George A. MCGOWAN, to recog-
nize the leaders of the Thirty fifth As
sembly District, who desired to enter
a protest against the nomination of ID.
w. Burchard for Superior Judge. John
d. Daily and John S. Partridge of the
Thirty-fifth demanded a call of the roll
by districts. but no attention was paid
to the demand by the chairman, who
promptly entertained motion that,
the ballot of the convention be cast for
Trout, Kerrigan, Gallagher and Bur-
chard.
Just before the work of the conven-
ton was finished John d. DAILY from
position on the floor but a few feet dis
tant from the platform addressed a
few words of personal nature to the
chairman. advising the later to reflect
on the incident that he had by his rul-
ing deprived one delegation of Repub-
licans of the right 10 be heard.
The paragraph in the platform in
dorsing the constitutional amendment
creating an intermediate court was
added in pencil to the original draft OF
the platform. Nominations for the SUI
perior bench and the Legislature, as
forecasted in The Call. were made.
There was some agitation in the Forty
fourth Assembly District in favor of
naming Jacob Steppacher for the As
sembly, but Jacob Shaen could not
muster force enough to smash the slate
on which the name of Mel Vogel was
inscribed. In the Thirty-second As
sembly District there was some hest
fancy in the nomination of Patrick j.
Boyle of the Potrero, but at the finish
he was acclaimed the nominee.
Union Labor party nominees Of the
Seventeenth Senatorial and Twenty
eighth and Twenty ninth Assembly dis
tricts were Endorsed. Richard J. WEIGH,
Nineteenth Senatorial District; George
B. Keane, Twenty-third, and John II.
Nelson, Twenty-fifth Senatorial Dis
trict, have the regular Republican
nomination as well as the Union Labor
Endorsement.

IRISH REFORM SCHEME
is STRONGLY OPPOSED
Unionist Alliance Condemns the Dub
lin Proposition as Being.
Dangerous.

LONDON, Sept. 26..-The executive
committee of the Irish Unionist Alli-
ance tonight issued a statement re-
garding the plan formulated by the
committee on organization of the
Irish Reform Association, which was
adopted at a meeting of the associa-
ton at Dublin on Friday. The state
ment says:
THE Irish Reform Association is in
no sense representative and the pro-
gramnle adopted by it is altogether
contrary to the principles which have
always animated the great body of
Irish Unionists.
The committee condemns all the
propositions of the Irish Reform As
ISOLATION as dangerous and holds that
safety for the Unionists lies only in
equal treatment for every part of the
United Kingdom"
The programme of the Irish Reform
Association contemplates the .consti-
tuition of an Irish Financial Council to
administer the $3O,0OO,O 900 expended
annually on Irish service.
