me that the success of the party, which has done so much for the negro, is of far greater importance than the identity of the nominee.'
 Prof. R. R. Wright of Savannah, Ga, president of the Georgia Industrial col lege, declared that while he wassin favor iof Foraker or Corteyon for the nomina- tion, as are the majority of his race, he is confident that the colored voters will rot desert the party even on account of the temporary bitterness stirred up oyer the Brownsville affair
 P. B. S. PInchback of Louisiana said: When my people get over the excite ment caused by anti-Taft agitators and give the matter sober thought they will come to the conclusion that there Is nothing else to do than vote for the party nominee, for the welfare of the negro is bound up with the welfare of the whole country. That's what the republic ar party stands for and the negro knows it too well to take any chances of helping to inaugurate democratic administra- ton

Negro WiH H0Her and
 Then Vote Same Old Way

Chicago, June H.-(Specal.)-In order to offset the anti-Taft meetings, administra- ton negroes are being put to work to ad- dress local negroes. Anderson and Tyler, federal officeholders, are among the ar rivals to assist in the propaganda among members of their own race. "When they have ample time to think things over,' declared Charles W. Anderson, the col cred collector of internal revenue at New York, they will come to the conclusion that sentimentalism should play no part iD inducing them to vote against the re- publican party. The welfare of the whole negro race is the one thing that should be taken itno consideration, and democratic administration would mean a backward step for the negro"
 Ralph W. Tyler of the navy department said: T have the profoundest respect for the negroes who are opposingthe nom- ination of MT. Taft, but I feel that the great majority of them will agree with

BIG DEMONSTRATION.
Pandemonium Reigns For While In
 the Auditorium.

Chicago, June 17.-The second day of the republican national convention has brought the long expected Roosevelt yell, a whirlwind of enthusiasm which ragged within the vast amphitheatre of the coliseum for full 45 minutes today, and for a time presenting to the timid the spectre of a Roosevelt stampede.
 This demonstration was decidedly the feature of a day otherwise notable for . stirring speech from the permanent chair man of the convention, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, for much practical procedure in placing the con- vention on a smooth running basis, and for the final defeat of a plan to reduce the representation of Southern states at fu- ture national conventions.
 Probably the most important act of the day and the one having greatest signifi- canoe on the final issue of the convention was the adoption of the report of the committee on credentials, seating the Taft delegations practically in toto
 If~there had been any lingering doubt of inc Taft strength it disappeared before this decisive action which in effect placed unwards of 700 delegates in the Taft col. umn Equally important and even more remarkable was the final acceptance of this result by the "allies' without the formality of a dissenting minority report and without carrying the question to the floor of the convention for the open fight which had long been threatened. Instead of this all further opposition seemed to crumble: those who promised trouble quietly accepted the inevitable and thus

Four BIackmai|ers Are Shot
 Dead By Victims
WORM WILL TURN AT LAST
Italian Wire Merchant and His Son Who Suffered From Imposition Manage To Kill Enemies
 Without Being Injured.

New Orleans, June 17.-A black hand trag- edy with the unusual sequel that all the blackmaiers, numbering four, were killed or wounded, while their victims escaped without a scratch, was enacted here to- day in the historic former home of Gen eral Beauregard in the French quarter This house, at 1113 Chartres street, is now the residence of Pietro Giacona, a wine merchant, and reputed to be one of the wealthiest Italians in the south Giacona is 61 years old and how he and his son, Carrada, managed to kill three armed and desperate men is not yet clear to the police. It is certain that the Gaconas invited the blackmailers into their house and wined and dined them for several hours before the shooting. The Gaconas claim that the unusual feast was practically forced on them, and that they did not shoot until after one of hteir guests had opened fire The identified dead are:
 7. Giovanni Barreca.
 Giro Cusimano.
 Unidentified, one Italian.
 Wounded. Francisco Vattali of St. Louis.
 Vattali claims to have been shot while
 
 sibility that the fourth guest may have escaped despite his wounds
 About o'clock last night four men whom Giacona knew. called at his house and were invited in by Giaconas son. Gacona claims that these men had at various times obtained several barrels of wine and about $400 from him. He says that long after midnight when his guests had refused to leave and had demanded ho off tIA,, them. One of them began shooting and Giacona replied with a rife and his son used a shotgun. The battling ground was a dimly lighted second floor gallery overlooging an inside court.
 Two of the guests fell dead on this gallery and third at the foot of the stairs. Added to Vattalis denial that he was among Giaconas guests is the lat ter's statement that Vattali was not the fourth member of the party

Ac- cordng to the reports tonight one Of the wires was cut into the White House early this afternoon and the President, in person, with the receiver to his ear, caught the words of Lodge as he electrified the vast assemblage and the echoing shouts which ebbed and flowed for fully 45 minutes. It is said, moreover, that the President, pleased with the demonstration, made his feelings known to some of the leaders here and then, contented with the outcome, went out to drive.

DESPERATE FIGHT MADE

Taft Supporters Get a Hint From White House That Ohio Man Must Have Platform Big

Chicago, June 17.-At midnight : the whole committee on resolu- tions had agreed to accept all . the blanks of the platform as recommended by the sub-commit tee with the exception of those : relating to injunctions, to civil rights of the negro race, the Pan ts anna canal and immigration. !. These were reserved because of g the desire on the part of the full committee to discuss at some legnth each of the reserved pro visions. The other blanks were { accepted after more or less brief and formal opposition.

Chicago, June 17.-It is said tonight that President Roosevelt himself was an actual listener to the wild demon- stration of enthusiasm which greeted his name in the convention this after noon. Remarkable as this may seem, it is accounted for by the following circumstances. Hanging 10 feet above the heads of the delegates and im- mediately in front of the platform, are foup black discs, looped by wires and joined by small central cable leading from the hall. Many have wondered at tn ese discs, believing them to be part of the system of electrical display. As

As the night waxed older there grew disposition to attach more near ly decisive importance to Vice Presi- dent Fairbanks. and feeling that his position might prove truly irrevocable that not even unanimous nomination could dislodge him.

ernor Murphy of New Jersey were most frequently mentioned. The steady tendency of the day, however, was plainly toward the selection of a west. ern man and the names in the forefront tonight are those of Fairbanks of h. diana and Cummins of Iowa. with Fair banks apparently in the lead.
 The California delegation in execu- tive session today decided by unani- nous vote to cast it's vote for George A. Knight of San Francisco for Vice President. Other western states are expected to line up for MT. Knight. The Californians also count upon the sup port of a number of southern delegates for Mir. Knight in return for the vo,e of that state today in opposition to the Burke resolution.
 There were rumors late tonight of a further effort to get the New York state delegation togetheri behind the candidacy of Sh erman. and 1t was re- ported that State Chairman Woodruff might, after all, present Sherma n $ name to tho convention.

Chicago, June Tiff the republican adopt that platform on which Secretary Taft feels he can make a winning race; the republican convention will have to nominate man who needs no platform to win"
 While this statement is not being put forward as an actual ultimatum, it is the principal weapon which the ad- yocates of an injunction plank in the platform are using to compel the com mittee on resolutions and the conven- tion itself to make such a declaration. It Is their last resort, and the moment ous import of the alternative implied presents more stritingly than could anything else the desperate straits to which the supporters of an injunc- ton declaration have been driven by the persistent fight that has been made against it.
 The statement quoted was made to- night by member of the sub-commit- tee which is preparing the platform, who is friendly to both President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft. It was the result of a careful analysis of the situation made after "A hours of al- most continuous service in the com mittee room, and undoubtedly repre- scented his view of the situation. Pro- ceeding, he said:

 lowing 45 minutes of continued cheering. The President received bulletins from the convention while dressing for his ride, and after Secretary Taft, who had come to him while the excitement in the Coliseum was at its height, had gone back to the war department. Mir Taft also went driving without waiting for the convention to adjourn. Mrs. Taft manl- fested her keen interest in the republican conventions proceedings at Chicago to- day by joining the secretary in his pri
 vate office and getting at first hand the reports from Chicago. She remained throughout the session of the convention.

situation and the opinion tonight is as it was this morning. that the nomina- ton will go either to Vice President Fairbanks or to Governor Cummins.
 The failure today by New York to. caucus on the vice presidential situa- tion Is regarded as practically elfmi- hating that state from the contest.
 New York was in position where if her delegates could get together on the proposition they might have named the candidate but they could not get together.
 It was said today that telegram to Edward Glines, who Is regarded as Guilds personal representative in tho Massachusetts delegation, expressed governors intention to stand by his vice presidential boom until the la 5t gun was fired. The lines having been drawn substantially between east and west in the situation and New York being practically out of 1t. 1t became an interesting question whether the east could unite upon any man who could rally also support from the west and south. In this connection the names of Governor Guild and ex-Gov-

Washington, June 17.-With every incl dent in the great gathering at Chicago flashed to them on direct wires, Presi- dent Roosevelt and Secretary Taft kept in constant touch today with the repub- lican convention, had a brief conference and each wound up the afternoon by driving into the suburbs, while the con- vention was still in session. All day long the wires brought news of what was transpiring in the convention. Confiden- tial telegraph and telephone operators were on duty at the Chicago end of the wires and not a move was made on the floor of the immense hall that was not al- most simultaneously reported to Wash ington.
 Apparently disinterested in the closing hours of the days proceedings, President and Mrs. Roosevelt drove from the White

Too Much To Ask.

Tt is preposterous to ask Secretary Taft to make the race for the presi- dency on a platform which is not to his liking, and especially in view oe the fact that it is generally known that he has been paying much atten- tion to the framing of the partys declaration of principles and policies. To do so would be to place him in the attitude in which Mr. Cleveland was placed when he was compelled in 1892 to repudiate his party's tariff plank and 1t Is doubtful whether he would want to make the race under such condi- tions. It sh ould also be borne in mind that the question of injunction touches the labor class. an element which he has been accused of antagonizing and 1t is the very opposite of fair dealing to un- dertake to compel him to go before the country on platform which affords no assurance to this class of his friendly feeling toward them."

Hard Work Done.


 Beginning at 10 o'clock today the sub committee resumed it's work in the hope of completing it by o'clock. the time set for the meeting of the full con- mittee, but when that time came the sub committee was compelled to report that it was unprepared to present its report and the full committee took an adjourn ment until 9 o'clock At that time the subcommittee was found to be still un- decided and another adjournment was taken. While the subcommittee was in session the greater part of the day there were two or three rather prolonged inter- missions. and before the day closed 1t became evident that the injunction clause advocates were sparrlng for time. Thers was no time during the day when vote could not have been taken in the sub committee and the injunction plank in- serted. but appreciatlng the fact that a favorable result was not so certain in the full committee the supporters of the provision sought for and easily obtained the delay which they seemed to consider necessary before bringing the matter to the attention of the complete organiza- ton.

 The time during the recesses as well as the time in which the committee was en- gagged. was devoted to strenuous efforts by both sides to increase their strength the full committee. For the first time since the fight began the friends of the administration apparently became fully awakened to the seriousness of the situd- tion, but being aroused. they were just as zealous as their opponents in presenting the situation to their fellow committee men. During the day they received tele- grams from Washington expressing the views of both the president and secretary of war as to the necessity for the injunc-
