[By Associated Press j

Convention Hall, June 1S.-Hot,
humid weather descended upon Chi
cago today. and coats and vests were
generally discarded by the delegat es
to the national convention when
Chairman Lodge raped for order
shortly after 10 o'clock. After the
prayer by Rev. DR.. Hill of New York.
Chairman Hopkins of the committee
on resolutions was recognized and
presented a report that the commit
tee on reading the platform has COM
menced Immediately.
Little Cheering Today.
Some cheering when Senator Hop
kins read the first passage praising
President Roosevelt, but no attempt
at demonstrations were made.
All Don't Like 1t.
Some cries of NO, no" came when
the anti-injunction plank was read.
The Minority Report.
The minority report on the plat
form. presented by Representative
Cooper of Wisconsin. insisted on the
physical valuation of railroads as a
basis for proper adjustment of rates,
publicity of campaign contributions,
election of United States senators by
direct vote, and no railroad rate TO
be advanced until after the interstate
commerce commission had passed on
is justice. These planks were reject

Paid Little Attention

Paid Little Attention.
The reading of the platform was
almost drowned in a roar of CONVEX
sation in the hall and it is doubtful
If third of the delegates heard it.
Not a single hand clap was heard
when Senator Hopkins concluded.
Couldn't Control Them.
Frequent calls for order by Chair
man Lodge only resulted in tempor-
AIRY quiet.
Only Interest in One.
The delegates and spectators alike
were lost in the discussion of the an
ti-injunction plank, and seemed to
have very little concern in the other
features of the platform.
Wisconsin Cheered Him.
Representative Cooper was cheered
by the Wisconsin delegation as he
advanced to read the minority report
Demand II Commission.
The minority report made de-
mand for permanent tariff commits
sion to be appointed by the presi-
dent, also for law fixing a penalty
of Imprisonment for the violation of
the law prohibiting combination for
the purpose of sitting competition.
HnnIy Wanted Vote.
Cooper was again cheered as he
concluded.
Governor Hanly of Indiana asked
for separate vote on the minority
plank in favor of publicity of cam
paign contributions; and another del
egate asked for separate votes on
the physical valuation of railroads
and the election of United States SEN
ators by direct vote.
Overwhelming Defeat.
On the roll call the minority re-
port. with the exception of the above
mentioned three planl<s, was defeat

The vote was taken amid the most
remarkable demonstration of the
convention. 1t started after the sec
Onding speech of NIcGee for Robert
NJ. LaFollette, and il was difficult to
tell at first whether il was LaFol-
Iette demonstration or one caused by
the exhibition of picture of Roose-
welt from the speakers stand.
Still Yell for Roosevelt.
The demonstration was confined
for the most part to the galleries,
who again started the chant of
-Four, four, four years more" to the
accompaniment of waving flags and
banners.
A Memorable Scene.
The scene was absolutely unique
in American political history-a vote
being taken during a terrific uproar
that was made on behalf of man
whose name was not before the con-
vention.
Kisses Were Heard.
Cheers, misses and cat calls cOntin-
ued to come from the galleries as
Alabama, California, Colorado and
Connecticut cast their solid votes for
Taft.

MRS. GOULD'S FATHER
LEAVES HER ST
Broken Over Daughter S
ESCapadeS.

PITTSBURG, ILL, May 16-(Spe-
cial-Mrs. Howard Gould, wife of the
multi-millonaire New Yorker, and her
sister, Mrs Sam Yue, wife of a San
Francisco Chineman and devoted to
slum work on the coast, were be-
queathed 81 each by the will of their
father, Solomon Perry Clemmons, fill
ed here today. His estate, which is
valued at $4,000, is left to his widow
during her lifetime, with the excep-
ton of the two dollars mentioned.
Mr. Clemmons, broken in body and
mind by worry over the escapades of
his daughters, 20 years of age and
practically neglected by his children,
was adjudged insane by a commission
in the Pike County Court March 6
last and sent to the asylum at jack
sonville, III. The commitment was
for the remainder of his life, and he
died there May s. He was totally
blind and in a most wretched physical
and mental condition.
So far as known, no word ever
came to the desolate man from either
of his daughters, although they were
apprised of his commitment to the
asylum. In the event either had eX-
pressed desire to care for him, the
state authorities might have permit
ted them to take him away, so that he
would not have died in an asylum, at

GIRLS CALLED SCHOOL A
JAIL IN POEM; DISMISSED

MADISON, WIS, May 15.-(SpeciaD
Schoolgirls in Wisconsin, the
home of Ella Wheeler Wilcox and
other poets, have no right to com
pose and publish their poetry
gently satirizing the rules and res
trictions imposed on pupils in high
schools. This is the solemn edict
of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin
as announced today in the case of
Dresser against the school board of
ST. Criox Falls.
Hazel and Mabel Dresser, aged
Is and II years respectively, daugh-
ters of former Assemblyman L. B.
Dresser, now a member of the state
board of control which manages the
state charitable and penal institu-
tions, were pupils in the high school
at ST. Criox Falls and became re-
sentful of the strict discipline en-
forced by Professor J. G. Baker,
principal of the school.
AS mild protest, they composed
funny poem, entitled Rules
of st. Criox JAIL" which was consid-
cred so fine by the editor of the local
newspaper that he printed it.
AS soon as the offending poem met
the eye of Professor Baker he called
q council of teachers, and it was de-
cided to penalize the culprits by
requiring them to apologize before
the other pupils and to pay fine of
40 cents, or to suffer the humiliation
of expulsion.
The guilty girls refused to apollo
gize and pay the fine, and conse-
quently were expelled. The school
directors sustained Professor Baker
and Mr.. Dresser appealed to the
courts The chief point of the de-
fense of the little poets was that
their act in composing and publish
ing the poem was done outside OF
school hours The Supreme Court
says that school directors have power
to punish acts tending to destroy
discipline and bring the teachers into
ridicule and contempt, whether sucl
acts are done inside or outside o.
school hours.

WILL REPLY TO
SMITHS SPEECH
Orators Will Discuss HOke' S
Record.

Gov. Smiths speech will not be per-
mitted to go by without reply. On
Thursday, two days after Gov Smith S
speech, Col. Albert H. Cox of Atlanta,
will speak in Americus. Whatever
points the Governor makes in behalf
of himself and his claims to re-elec-
ton, will be answered by Col. Cox.
The reason why Gov Smith should
not be reelected will also be pre-
sented.
One of the grayest charges against
the Governor will be his action in
changing the priwary plan, by which
the smaller counties have lost their
individuality The new plan gives a
few of the larger counties the power
to control the state, whereas under
the old system which had been in
force almost from the organization of
the state, even the largest counties
had not more than three times the
power of the smallest.
Another juicy theme will be the
record of Gov. Smith as a prohibition
ist While the voters generally are
familiar with the "fops" of the Gov
ernor, Americus people have not
heard the record dissected by an able
speaker as will be the case when
Col. Cox gets busy.
Next Saturday afternoon Judge
Ross, of Macon, will speak in behalf
of the candidacy of Hon. Joseph M.
Brown. The Smith administration
and its effects on Georgia will be
handled without gloves. Judge Ross
will also pay his respects to the Gov
ernor's record on important issues.
1t had been originally planned to
have Judge Ross speak on yesterday,
answering Gov. Smiths usual argu-
ments before they were delivered in
Americus. Other engagements inter
ferred, and it was decided to defer
his coming for a week
