All Leading Cities
of the United
States.
Over One Hundred Res
olutionS to Be Submit
ted to Meeting and

At noon today a. the New Willard.
The meeting today was given over to
getting ready for a rolling up or sleeves
on the morrow. when the real work
begins. The credentials of delegates
we're carefully vised by the com
mittee appointed for the purpose, and as
no one appeared who was suspected OF
not having a resolution concealed about
him, all were seated, and there is no
prospect OF a 'Tump' convention being
held on the Capital lawn.
The attendance IS not as large as on
former years. but the crop of resolu-
lions promises 70 be more extensive
than ever before
The topics 10 be discussed climb away
up into the hundreds.
The assembly was called 10 order hy
Frank ID. la lame, retired manufac-
facturer OF Philadelphia. He made an
annual address. in which he spoke OF
the growth OF the national organlza-
ton under his administration.
The delegates TO the convention are
representatives OF nearly every board
OF trade, business mems association,
and kindred organizations in the COun-
try.
At present there are in the resOIu-
tiOn box just 100 recommendations.
The Cleveland Chamber OF Commerce,
Tor instance, urges Congress TO reduce
the postage on nrSt-ClaSs matter TO !
cent an ounce. the Boston Chamber OF
Commerce Is convinced that the coun-
Try is lost unless Congress revises
the tariI, the Montgomery tAla-)
Chamber OF Commerce wants the na-
Jional board 10 make Congress pass
some sort Of legislation encOura ging
immigration 10 the South. while the
Philadelphia Trades League comes in
with some pure food resolutions.

Earbor improvements Tor their respec-
TIVe sections, a merchant marine, a
better commercial educational sys-
TEN. and scores OF other subjects.

clare investigation IS
Courted.

Drawn Into Contest Re-
plies at Once.

South DakOta's Senatorial situation is
developing an aspect very much like
that in Texas. There has been a de-
mand for investigation OF Senator
Gamble. and In the Republican caucus.
which nominated him for reelection the
other day. State Senator Dillon, as per
sOna1 representative OF Senator Gamble,
said that the friends OF Gamble were
perfectly willing 10 have an investiga-
uon; court II. in fact; but they couldn't
consent 20 their candidate being investi-
gated unless the other members OF the
States Congressional delegation were
likewise put under inquiry.
This suggestion. Of course. lid bear
ing on the fact that the charges nave been
made by the Kittredge faction against
Gamble. and by the Gamble people
against Kittredge These all have 20 do
with keeping relatives or favOrites on
the Government payrolls who performed
nominal services or none al all.
When the announcement reached
Washington that CANDLES friends had
suggested an investigation OF the whole
Congressional delegation there was no
delay about asserting 10 IL.

New York, Nov. 23.-Imagine
Caruso or "A Bonci cnaaeed in the
arduous task OF ropins refractory
; steers. galloping miles over the
prairie TO round up scattered cattle
or engaged in any Of the other daily
duties of the cow-puncuer OF the
western range. The idea appear sb-
surd, yet il was iust such employ
ments that for many years occupied
the attention of Vernon Stiles. the
young Loohinvar. who came out Of
the west TO capture the hearts and
enthrall the senses Of New York
opera-goers. The stalwart. hand

the enthusiastic ones attracted In
Now York and all over the country
by the excellent company OF singers
in English engaged by Henry ".
Savage.
\ westerner by birth. education
and feeling is Vernon stiles. who
sprang almost at a bound from tho
back of a cow-pony TO prominent
place in grand opera. Born in Iowa
he at an early age became a COWBOY
on ranch owned by an uncle in
Colorado. Here. with long-horned
steers and meek COWS for auditors
he developed the wonderful voice
thathas won for him fame and for.
tune on the operate stage.
An ardent patriot, the cowboy
singer is proud of the fact that he
has never studied In Europe or with
an European teacher, and has always
remained faithful TO his first and las,
teacher, S. c. Bennett. of this city
His first stage appearance was
with the Bostonlans, and later he
sang for three years with the Saw
age English Opera company at the
American theatre in this city. At
that time he appeared only in such
lieht tenor roles rs those of the
Gilbert and Sullivan operas Il WIS
after these three years that ne again
resumed his cowboy life.
The uncle died and left Mr.. Stiles
his ranch. AS the property was a
valuable one, it become advisable FOR
the heir TO leave Broadway and re-
sumo his association with the range
cattle and the cowboys. For four
years he made the ranch his home
and again became a typical COWBOY
Among his most cherished possess
sions are two medals received durine
