CHICAGO, June 22.-The second day
of the republican national convention
opened bright and cool, these weather
conditions existing since the first hour
of the gathering. Considering the fact
that there is no great fight, no strife
over either candidate or platform and
no uncertainty over results, it is re-
markable that the delegates have been
able to develop as much enthusiasm as
that demonstrated yesterday and to-
day. While not hystericaI as had been
seen at other conventions. the optimis-
tic expressions are of genuine quality,
requiring no claptrap devices to de-
VelOp them.
The doors of the convention hall
were opened at II. Half an hour later
not more than so delegates were on
the floor. Many leaders We're engaged

A large oil painting of Roosevelt
smiled on the convention from the

Senator Allison was the first promi-
nent arrival to receive recognition but
generally there were few demonstra-
tions as the big men who control party
politics in the several states marched
in and sought seats.
DepeW and Platt walking arm in arm
in the center of the aisle received per-
haps the most marked greeting. When

COURTS AND LAWS.

The Oregon Supreme Court has de-
cided that direct legislation is in har-
mony with the United States constitu-
ton. This decision, and the decision
of the Kansas Supreme Court that the
eight-hour law is constitutional, are
the two most important events in the
line Of social progress that have hap
pened for many months.
Judge Kindake of the common pleas
court at Toledo, Ohio, rendered a de-
cision refusing an injunction asked for
by the Ricard Boiler and Engine works
to restrain their former employees from

firm should resort to arrests for pro-
lection and that injunctions should
only be invoked for protection where
the law fails.
No employer or employee is allowed

conference held at Ashland last
week ended very unsatisfactory.
The longshoremen asked for an in
crease Of 5 cents an hour, while the
shippers wanted a reduction of S cents
an hour. Every other condition Of la
Dor was adjusted, but when it came to
wage settlement both sides fell down.
The union offered to meet the ship
pers half way, but this could not be
agreed upon.
After wrestling over the matter for
two days is was agreed to adjourn the
conference for thirty days. In the
meantime the shippers are to take the
differences up with President Keefe
of the International union.
The Duluth union, local No. IL, held
a special meeting last Sunday after
noon. The report of the conference
committee was listened to with much
interest, and their action was endorsed.
Secret instructions were given to the
delegates, with full power to act.
Further information on the proposed
conference is expected from the inter-
national headquarters of the union very
soon. The outcome Of the matter is
indeed doubtful.
Those present at the Ashland confer
ence were, Messrs, Gauthier, Ultican,
Cluegh, Duluth; O'Keefe, Superior;

the longshoremen. The lumber ship

Moses Cook Acknowledges That Funds

and Hotel Business. Committee
Will Report Monday Evening.

The Council investigation of the Cook
Hotel is not going to result in a fizzle.
The hearing held last Monday after
noon brought out some mighty inter-
esting testimony.
Moses Cook on the stand claimed that
he had nothing to do with the hotel
part. He placed all Of the responsibility
for the character of the house upon B.
J. Cook.
In the testimony City Attorney
Mitchell brought out the. fact that all
of the money received from the saloon
and the hotel was deposited in the bank
in the name of Cook Bros. No sep
arate fund was kept, except that when
checks were drawn, a memorandum
was made in the stub.
Mr. Mitchell said after the investfga-
ton that he thought sufficient evidence
was secured to file formal charges
relation existed between the saloon and
the hotel, and that Mr.. Moses Cook
could be held responsible for the char
acter of the hotel.
Captain Resche stated before the
committee that he made an arrest
in the hotel recently. He described
the condition Of the women arrested
which satisfied the members of the
council that the hotel was used fol
other than moral purposes.
If the council committee files specific
charges against the Cook Hotel it will
then require a general public investi-
cation. The character of the place will
be gone into at length. Evidence will
be secured from people who profess to
know something about the place.
1t is imagined that the investigation
will be most interesting throughout.
Whether Mr.. Cooks license will be
revoked or not, it is safe to predict
that during the next two years, al
least, the hotel will be run much bet
ter than it was in the past.
The people of Duluth will not long
permit an immoral resort to be oper-
ated on the main business street
Others who have tried to do it in the
past have failed. They may go on TO,

The people Of Duluth may have {

but they will go no further. Gamb.

supporters in this city. The saloon

are opposed to the conducting of i'm

ATHLETIC UNION

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.--All the min
utes, records, rules and other data
gathered since the beginning of the
American athletic union in 1883 have
been destroyed in the fire which has
Quilted Holbert's restaurant building at
1918 Park Place. The records were on
file in the office Of Secretary Sullivan
Of the A. A. u, who also is director
of sports for the St. Louis exposition.
Besides this matter, which probably
cannot be replaced, Sullivan lost valu-
able lot of curios, photographs and
books collected during forty years by
the late VIM. Curtis, father OF Amerl-
can athletics, who was frozen to death
while attempting to scale Mt. Wash1ng-

ABLE AS ANY in THE CITY.
Take Exception to. Article in the Labor
World. Attribute Present: Difficulty
to Malice Of Competitors. Was
Once Run Very Loose but Young
Clerk Was Responsible. Was Inn
mediately Discharged When Found
Out.

TO the Editor of the Labor World:
In your issue of last week you pub
l1shed' a lengthy article, against the
Cook Hotel, and after reading it,
thought that probably you were wrong
ly informed. No one will suffer more
than I, because of the present difficult
ty, but 1t is all malice pure and simple.
The Cook Hotel is just as moral as
any hotel on Superior street, and
great deal better than some. The
whole trouble started because of the
jealousy of some Of our competitors
in business.
Every effort has been made to run
the hotel in a. respectable manner.
There was a. time when we had a. young
clerk in charge during the evenings
who permitted things to run rather
loose, but as soon as it was brought to
our attention we Immediately dis
charged him. During the day time,
and until about 1890 every evening
we gave the hotel our personal atten-
ton. After that hour it was intrusted
to the clerk. We know that he abused
his privilege, but when we had found
1t out, we Immediately discharged him.
Since that time we have been I'M
usually particular about the character
OF the people who we took as guests.
l will give any man the hotel who will
prove that within the last four months
he has seen anything wrong about the
place. We have done our utmost to
keep disreputable people out, and while
we are not given credit for it, think
we have succeeded.
If we were running such hell
hole, as you say, why were we not ar
rested? The police know as we'll as
we do that the place has been con-
Quoted properly.
We have a good deal Of money in
vested in our building, and we would
be very foolish indeed, should we per-
init 1T to get a bad name. We have
sufficient, business experience to know
that Duluth, people will not permit a
disreputable institution to exist on
Superior street. We built the hotel to
cater to the transient trade. I think
that we can safely say that we have
relieved the hotel congestion here con-
siderably. 1t is we'll known that at the
time We built there was a strong de-
mand for more hotels. We saw the OPP
ening as a. business proposition, and
we took advantage. :qf it. Since open
Ing we have met with more or less sue
cess. This created considerable en-
nifty among some of our competitors,
and they have lost mo opportunity to
knock the place'on every occasion.
It is our intention to run respect

nit to the most rigid. Investigation as
to the character Of our hotel. Trust
