IL was gotten under control Il had
created panic among the residents
of the vicinity and threatened to
do unlimited damage by the explo-

TO spread that powder explosions

fled In confusion. The braver ones
stood their ground and gradually
extinguished the flames. The sta
tion Is located on an island In the

most spectacular one. Many ex-

and the danger attached to fighting

ed from the mayor a verbal permit
for the Robert Johnson and Rand

ing picture show in front OF their

ing. on the opposite side OF the

witness the exhibition and the
streets were pretty well filled with
people. when Chief OF Police New
kirk came and ordered the show to
close on account of blocking the
street. The drummer replied that
he had permit to show, that the
street cars. wagons and pedestrians
had had no trouble passing and
that he would continue the show.
Mr.. Newkirk insisted that he was
blocking the street and threatened
his arrest IL he did not desist. This
brought retort from Mr.. High and
the chief arrested him and required
bond for his appearance. Mr.. High
put up a forfeit and was released
and on a hearing this morning was
discharged.

The president advocated an in

Was the president ahead OF the zee

alarm on this question or has the
party sounded a retreat?
In the presidents message to

conspiracies. The convention did not
see them; II there are many COM

II there are any dangers, they are

Under the caption ''In Full Re
treat" William ]. Bryan in the
next issue OF The Commoner" will
discuss the Republican convention
as follows:
"The Republicans who attended
the national convention as specta-
tors and joined I'm the demonstra-
tion i'm favor OF President Roose-
welt and Senator LaFollette, must
have felt indignant as they watched
the panic-stric&en delegates run
ming over each other In their eff
forts to get away from the LaFol-
lette reforms, some OF which had
been endorsed by the president
himself. Congressman Cooper, OF
Wisconsin, representing the LaFol-
lette men, brought in minority
report signed by himself alone.
Fifty-two members OF the commit
tee signed the majority report and
one signed the minority report. The
Republican party will find the ratio
OF ffty-two to one a very embar-
RAISING one to deal with In the COM
ing campaign. Mr.. Coopers re-
port contained a declaration In ia
vor Of publicity as to campaign
funds. IL was lost by a vote OF $50
to 81, more than Q to I, and yet
the president has been advocating
legislation in favor OF publicity as
to campaign contributions and Sec
retary Taft wrote a letter TO Mr..
Burrows advocating the passage OF
a publicity bill. How fortunate 1t
was that Secretary Taft's letter was
finally discovered and published,
Senator Burrows, the man to whom
the Taft letter was addressed, was
the temporary chairman Of the con
vention over which he presided
turned down the publicity plank by
vote OF to 1 who will deny
that on this subject, the Republi-
can party is retreating?
Another plank of the LaFollette
platform authorized the ascertaina
ing Of the value OF the railroads.
This plank was lost by vote OF 917
20 sc, nearly IS TO I. and yet Pres
idrnt Roosevelt has advocated this
very proposition. Here Is a retreat
on the railroad question.
"ln another column reference is
made TO the injunction plank. The
injunction plank by the Republican

sition taken By the president and
