Chicago, June 16.--Nearly all 0: the
900 seats in the big Coliseum were
occupied at noon today, when the Re
publican national convention was
called to order by Chairman Harry s
New. A wave of enthusiasm. swspt

man New pounded his desk with a
gavel made of wood from Fort Dear.
born, and formally announced that the
momentous convention was open. The
excited buzzing lapsed into profound
silence when Bishop H. ]. Muldoon be.
gan a fervent prayer, in which he. in
voked Divine guidance for the deliber-
ations of the delegates.
Following the reading of the call of
the national convention by Secretary
Elmer Dover, United States Senator
julius C. Burrows, of Michigan, was in
troduced as temporary chairman. His
address was received with applause,
espe cialy from the sections where sat
the delegates who are still faithful to
the allies, since Senator Burrows is
looked upon as an OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
man.
The most important action of the af
ternoon will be the selection of the
various committees, including those on
temporary organization, rules and or
der of business, credentials and reso-
/ lutions. The latter is most important
since it will draft the national party
| platform. The Craftsmanship will prob
ably go to Senator Albert j. Hopkins,
of Illinois.
1t is definitely announced that the
platform will take radical and ad-
vanced ground on the tariff, on con-
troll of the trusts, on the amending of
the Sherman law, in-the currency and
on the question of limiting the power
of injunction. 1t will stand squarely
in other regards on the policies which
have been features of the Roosevelt adj
ministration. -
There are predictions in some quar-
tiers that there will be difficulty in
framing the tariff plank of the plat
form, but that view is not enter
tanned by the men in control of the
party They assert that the tariff
plank will follow closely that adopted
by the Ohio state convention, and that

ception of few extreme "standpat-

caution has been taken to prevent fire,
and as there are twelve big exits, the
building could be emptied within
three minutes
Nearly $500 employees are scattered
throughout the hall. OF these there
are 1900 assistant sergeants-at-arms,
300 ushers, 300 pages and 200 door
keepers. These men work under the
supervision of William H. Stone, Balti-
more, sergeant-at-arms of the Repub-
lican national committee, and Postmas-
ter David G. Owen, Milwaukee, first
assistant sergeant-at-arms. The office
of these officials is situated in the an
mex in the rear of the speakers desk,
which also is occupied by quarters as
signed to the Postal Telegraph Com
pany, the Western Union Telegraph
Company and the press organizations.
The building is arranged so that ev-
cry delegate commands full view of
the speaker. BY an ingenious arrange
ment every one of the $500 employees
is hidden as effectually as though they
had left the building while the meet.
ings are in progress. In case Of dis
order, which Is not anticipated, these
men will reappear as If by magic.
Every one of the employees has been as
signed to position which he will keep
during the convention. They are pro-
vided with seats made of mating. At
the first word Of the speaker they
drop these upon the floor in the aisles
and sit upon them, leaving them even
lower than the delegates.
The newspaper correspondents are
cared for by an arrangement as in
genious. They sit upon a platform
surrounding the speakers desk, ex-
tending across the building, and fitted
with a tunnel exit much the same as
the exit used by theater orchestra.
Through this tunnel, which passes di-
rectly under the speaker, the reporters
will pass, to be relieved by others
waiting in the annex In the rear.

SENATOR GRAVATT OF CAROLINE

That the receipt OF federal pension,
by Way oi retired officers pay, Is not a
dsqualifce ton for "a seat in the Senate
OF Virginia. is Il fact now definitely ascer-
tained. The Senate itself determined the
matter when IL passed upon the quail
hcatiOn of DR.. {. L. Gravatt. OF Caroline
county, and administered to him the oath
of office as senator from the Thirty-sec.
ond district. The Senate is the court of
last resort as e the qualification OF its
members. The alleged disqualification to
be Senator by reason of being at the
time retired naval officer. on pension.
"a proposition urged against Dr. Gravatt
with great force during the campaign for
nomination by the friends of senator
Henry I. Wickham, seems to have lost
purpose entirely after ballots were cast.
