Situation At Chicago Shows That One Man Power Is
 Still Supreme
PLATFORM IS WRITTEN
 AND FULLY APPROVED
When the Platform Is Finally Read in Convention Big Noise From the White House May Suggest
 Some Changes.

Chicago, June 15.-(Specal.)-T rs-
 publican national convention which con
 venes tomorrow is dominated by TheJ-
 dore Roosevelt as completely as that
 which nominated him for the presidency
 in 1904 You hear nothing of Taft here.
 The three hundreds pounds of avoirdI-
 pois of the secretary of war becomes a
 mere shadow. It is nothing but What
 does Roosevelt want?" The delegates to the convention are so many sheep. They
 are talking of fight over the platform end over the vice presidency It is ridiculous The whole affair is being 1 managed from Washington. There is | rothing for the delegates to do except
 to follow instructions. The platform has been written, including it's milk anI
 water anti-injunction plank to appease
 inc labor vote. There is a promise of a
 revision of the tariff immediately follow irg the Inauguration of Mir Taft At Taft's request there will be embodied a clause lowering duties of Philippine prol- ucts imported into the United States. This of itself is good illustration of the entire proceedings.
 For five years the president and Sec
 retary Taft have been urging upon con- gress the necessity of giving the Philip
 Linos a square deal. A score of times has the secretary of war visited the capitol personally beseeching the repun- lican members of senate and house to l agree to the passage of bill lowering GUS | toms duties in the interest of the Fili- | ipinos. Each time he has been met with
 the most emphatic refusal. A bill passed 1 by the house would go to the senate finance committee. and nothing would be heard of it.
 Now the republican party has embrac- co in its platform a declaration for d sweeping reduction of the tariff when IL
 stands before the country admittedly inl 1 potent to even reduce tariff schedules
 for the Filipinos, much less the foreiga l countries. It's a fine proceeding. Tho l same old erowd-Cannon, Payne aud Dalzell-will be in the saddle If the next | house is unfortunate enough to be re- 1 publican. There is not the ghost of a 1 chance that republican platform prom | ises can be carried out
 | No one doubts the sincerity of the sec retary of war, but the secretary himsaf
 knows that the platform promises of 1 lis party impossible of realization l If Roosevelt could not drive his party l into line, what could Taft hope to dc- l complish? The truth is the republican l platform will contain, or rather contains 1 --for it is written-just about everything an.' one would want.
 | The last proofs of the platform have rot been taken because there is a possi- l biltys that some one will want to add l something to it. If 1t makes a noise like
 rates 1t will be incorporated; if it does not sound good it will be rejected Tho l resident is the judge and even the rames of the convention pages are wired l him for his advice. w. S.

PUZZLE IS uNsoLvED.
Vice Presidential Nominee Is Still a
 Dark Horse.

Chicago, June 15.-The vice presi dential situation has continued toda : to maintain its puzzling position. It has presented new aspect for almost every hour of the day but at no time has 1t shown a disposition to become less complicated.
 Senator Deliver has today, as for some time past. been the center of the complication. and it Is generally ad mitted that there will be no solution until he Is either nominated or entirely eliminated from the race. Early in the morning 1t looked as If the Iowa sena- tor was out of the running, but when. soon afterward. the news came from Washington that there had been a de- claration from the White House t.iat tlre candidate for the second place must come from Iowa, the boom was given a renewal of life, and the senators friends were willing to say that his nomination was assured.
 The Washington news was apparent ly without effect on the Iowa friends of Senator Deliver who do not want him to accept a place on the ticket, and they refused to attach much signiti canoe to the Washington pronounce ment. The Deliver boomers gave just as little heed to a letter of their favor ite in which he authorized the delega-

 Man He Can Get.
WHO WILL ACCEPT PLACE

l Chicago June 15.-(Special. )-Hughes or Fairbanks. that's what the administra- : ton Is trying to put through regardless for it's aversion to the governor of New York and it's dislike to the Indianian. The one or the other is being tipped by Frank Hitchcock, the Taft manager. for
 the second place on the ticket. Hughes las declined in a most positive manner and SO has Fairbanks. The field is open. Hughes and Fairbanks in the order nam
 ed is what the president wants to tail the ticket After this his personal choice Is Deliver of Iowa. Deliver is being fought by every one from Iowa, his na- tive state. His nomination will turn the
 state over to Cummns the Iowa dele
 rates say. The result may be two demo- cratic senators or at least a good chance for them.
 The New York delegates met this morr- irg and agreed to disagree. Sherman of New York is one of the few who Is ac- lively seeking the vice presidency. He is the best parliamentarian in either branch of congress. Beyond that lie assesses no qualifications for the place unless he be judged as an adept in col lecting campaign funds. His services as chairman of the congressional com- ttee has given him some experience in
 that line
 The delegates. taking the tip from Washington, are all booming Fairbanks tonight On the outside there are dozens Of vice presidential booms. Ed Young,
 delegate from Louisiana, who also go- n tonight, is positive that senator-elact
 Bradley of Kentucky would be the man
 to nominate.
 "The South,' says Young, ''has been
 Gisfranchised long enough and we are en-
 titled to consideration. Gov Bradley has
 made the fight here for the allies as
 they call us and we should receive some
 recognition at the hands of the Taft
 men. Bradley would make the strongest
 vice presidential nominee yet mentioned.
 rIe occupies, believe, position which
 must appeal to the delegates from ev-
 cry state in the union.'' w. S.

Kansas City, Mo, June 15.-The Mis- souri river has begun to fall and the crest of the great flood is in sight. The Raw is also falling and its upper course is rapidly reaching normal stage. The crest in the Missouri was reached this morning at So.3 feet. The river contin- ued stationary until p. m., and between , and o'clock has fallen over an inch.
 The river is falling at St. Joe, and the slight rise reported at Omaha will be lost long before the water reaches here.

 ton in Conventions.
PRESENT PLANS NOT LIKED

Chicago, June 15.-(Special.)-At the caucus of the Pennsylvania delegation held this afternoon resolution WAS adopted on the motion of Representative Burke of Pittsburg, urging the national convention to adopt a new platform ap- pointing delegates to national conven- tions. Mr. Burke will present resolu- tion to the convention offering the basis rf representation at one delegate to each 10000 republican votes cast at the pre- ceding presidential election. This prop ositon was endorsed by the Pennsylvania delegation today without single dis s, nting vote. In support of his propos- ton MT Burke said:
 ~ During the last few years great strides have been made in the admin,s- tration of justice in this country. In pr- vate and public life, in the political and commercial world there has been a wig crous enforcement of the eternal prin- c:ples of right and as a consequence the nation Is more rugged and the world more advanced.
 ''In all the great strides that have been
  candidate for the presidency, P. c. Knox, has done more in actual accomplishment than any other living American, and as Ee has stood for the square deal and stands for 1t today, it is fitting that his friends in this convention while pre- sentng his claims upon the nation shoui l also do their utmost to place the grsat party to which he has rendered such splendid service, and upon which party the welfare of this nation is so depend- ent upon a basis that will guarantee to the republicans of all the states, east, west north and south, fair and square representation in her national conveh- ton every four years.
 Prom right thinking republicans in all sections of the country during the past few days have come protests and cri.i- cisrns against the plan of representa- tion which Is now in vogue and which practically nullifes the influence of shs great republican states that must ele 9t our presidents in their nomination and adoption of party principles.
 'orhe spectacle of South Carolina cast ing one vote in the national convention tomorrow for every l36 republican votes she casts at the polls in November, while Pennsylvania casts one for every 13,OOO is too absurd to need further argument Ohio, Colorado, New York. Indiana, Wis consin and other great states suffer n like manner, while states that never cast republican electoral vote practical iy assume control of the great nationol convention.
 Let Pennsylvania, the greatest repub- lican state in the union, speak for jus tice in our national conventions as our great and distinguished son has spoken for and enforced justice during the ad- minstraton of the most brilliant attorney general the American nation has ever had. W. s.

NEW LIQUOR LAW
 FOR LOUISIANA State Prohibition Is Dodged But
 Rigid Law Passed HIGH LICENSE IS ADOPTED Stringent Regulations Are to Be En- forced Upon All Saloons and State Will Profit Greatly From
 the Saloons.
HIGH LICENSE IS ADOPTED

Baton Rouge, La., June 15.-Louisi- ana will not become a prohibition state during the term of the present assem bly,. This was decided tonight by the house or representatives when that body, by a vote of 5S to 47, indefinitely postponed consideration of the Doussan bill providing for referendum on state wide prohibition. The action of the house means com plete defeat for the Doussan bill In both branches of the assembly. The Shattuck high license bill, mali- ing the minimum local license $500 and the minimum state license s200 was passed by the house tonight, S2 to 25. The effect of this bill will be to in crease the state revenues between S250 900 and $500, 900 annually. The Shattuck bill is now practically certain to be passed by the senate wita few, if any. notifications. Among it most stringent provisions are the fol- lowing:
 No license shall be issued to a woman.
 No women, girls, or minors shall be permitted to drink in saloons, not even in special rooms set apart for them. Women are not permitted to serve as barmaids.
 Liquor shall not be sold to whit as and blacks in the same building.
 No brewer or distiller enCa ~ed in the wholesale distribution of liquor sn.- be interested financially in any saloon for retailing liquor.
 Pianos and musical instruments f all kinds, and all gambling games are barred
 City councils are given power to re . yoke any license in their discretion, and a license cannot be obtained for a sa- schools or barring the presence of such institutions, a license cannot be ob- tained without the consent of ma iority of the property owners withi | 900 feet of the saloon.
 Penalties are provided for break in,, hese laws. ranging from permanent loss of license to heavy fines and inn prisonment.
 The prohibition fight in Louisiana has been devoid of the popular crusade features participated in by women and children, which have occurred recently in other states. The vote which de- feated the Doussan bill tonight was measure of the strength of the prohi. bitionists Many of the latter vote for the Shattuck bill as being the next Fest alternative.

 Water has been found trickling through the levee on the city's water front near the Northeastern railroad docks and precautions were taken to prevent any weakening of the embankment.

consolidated material arises from the
fact that the melting point of metals
rises under pressure. For example,
iron when subjected to very great
pressure will remain solid long after
reaching the temperature at which it
ordinarily melts, so it is supposed that
the pressure toward the center of the
earth is so great that no amount of
heat, or. at any rate, the intense
heat in the interior of the earth, can
male it assume liquid form. This
also agrees with the calculations of
physicists, who affirm that the earth
behaves like solid. and therefore
cannot have liquid interior. as was
formerly supposed.
But the many other positive indica-
tons of the existence of molten mat
ter in the interior Of the earth have
led to a conclusion which satisfies all
parties. namely, that after descending
40 or SO miles from the surface the
heat is so great and the pressure SO
limited that all substances are melted.
so that there is a segment, probably
mauy hundred miles in thickness, con-
sist,ng of molten matter, while the in
terror nucleus remains, both intensely
hot and at the same time solid.
One of the most striking positive
indications that there is such molten
mass at no great distance below the
surface of the earth is to be found in
the volcanoes of the world, which are
best explained as vent holes through
which this molten matter escapes to
the surface in response to the varying
degrees of pressure from the crust of
the earth over different areas. When,
for example, through long-continued
deposition of earthly material about
the mouths Of the great rivers, one
portion of the earth's crust becomes
overloaded. so that 1t presses with ,ln-
due weight over limited area, 1t
would squeeze a portion of the molten
material to the surface, just as II you
preas with your thumb upon the rind
of sn orange in one place 1t will
crsrk the rind in another place and
foece the juice out through 1t. The
slow contraction of the diameter Of
the earth, also. through its loss Of
heat by radiation. may result in the
wrinkling up Of the crust in such a
mas aer that the molten matter will
bs r,rced out along the lines Of great
vt weakness.

1t is perfectly proper to speak of
the 'crust" of the earth. The exist
ence of volcanoes and the fact that the
temperature regularly increases as
you penetrate the rocks by borings
or mining shafts prove that the in
terror of the earth is hot enough to
melt all known mineral substances.
In boring for gas or oil or water and
in descending along the line of min
eral veins or to reach deep-seated
coal deposits it is found that the tenn
perature increases about one degree
for every fifty or rs feet, so that it is
serious question with miners how
far they can follow a vein into the
earth before reaching a point where
the heat will be so great that 1t would
be impossible for workmen to en-
dure it.
Taking the average increase of heat
to be one degree in so feet, We should
reach point where water would boil
at a distance of about 5000 feet or
little over mile and half. 1t.
therefore. would be feasible plan to
bore hole to that depth. and by let
ting cold water into it by one pipe
| bring it up hot in another. thus max
ing use of the heat of the interior of
the earth to warm our hohses. Very
likely before the coal and oil are ex
hausted this may be the source
through which to dispel in our homes
the rigors of winter even in arctic
climates.
AT the same rate of increase we
should have to descend only 30 or 40
miles to find a degree of heat which
would melt any known substance and
produce molten interior. The only
escape from the conclusion that the
earth consists of this thin crust of
