LONG BEACH, May 12.-According
to the assessors who have just COM
pleted their valuations of the property
improvements made during the last
year, these will foot up at least half
million dollars more than they did a
wear ago and will bring the total assess
ment on the city's improvements above
the three million dollar mark. The in
crease is largely due to the completion
of large buildings which year ago
were only in a partly finished state.

Yells for Roosevelt.

Chicago, June 1s.-The second day
of the Republican national conven-
ton brought the long expected Roose-
welt yell, a whirlwind of enthusiasm,
which ragged within the vast amphi-
theater of the Coliseum for fully As
minutes, for a time presenting to the
timid the specter of 4 Roosevelt SIAM
Dede. This demonstration was de-
cidedly the feature of day otherwise
notable for a stirring speech from the
permanent chairman of the conven-
ton, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, 81
Massachusetts,; for much political
procedure in placing the convention
on a smooth running basis, and for
final defeat of the plan to reduce the
representation of Southern States at
future national conventions.
Probably the most important act OF
the day and the one having greatest
significance on the final result of the
convention was the adoption of the
report of the committee on creden-
tials. seating the Taft delegations
practically in toto. If there had been
any lingering doubt of the Taft
strength, it disappeared before this
decisive action, which in effect placed
more than 700 delegates in the TAFT
column Equally important and even
more remarkable was the hnal ac-
ceptance of this result by the allies
without the formality of dissentina
minority report and without carrying
the question to the floor of the con
vention for the open fight which ha:
been long threatened.

CONVENTION OPENS.
Republican National Assembly Meets
With Great Enthusiasm.

Chicago, June 17.-Amid scenes Of
stirring enthusiasm, the Republican
convention Of 1908 began its delibera-
lions at noon yesterday in the presence
Of an assemblage estimated at more
than $4,000 people, with the sounds Of
patriotic airs alternating with frenzied
shouts for Roosevelt, Taft and the other
popular heroes, the first tocsin Of the
coming struggle from the graceful ora
tor Of Michigan, Senator Julius Caesar
Burrows, and the initial formalities
which started this momentous gather
ing into motion. The opening session
lasted less than two hours, and was
less notable for the business accom-
plished than for the opportunity it af-
forded Of seeing again this stirring
picture Of the people assembled from
every corner of the country to select
candidate for president of the United
States. The actual work Of the day
was quickly accomplished and at night
the various important committees on
credentials, platform, organization, etc.
were preparing for the more important
business to come.

FIGHT ON lNJUNCTIoNs.
Labor Men Offer Radical Plank and
EMPLOYERS Resist.


Chicago, June 17.-After a session Of
subcommittee which continued until
1920 a. m. the subcommittee of 10
of the committee on resolutions of the
Republican national convention, to
which has been referred the task of
preparing the final draft of the plat
form, deferred until 10 O'Clock this
morning final action on the anti-injunc-
tion plank. The principal struggle cen
tiers upon this plank, Senator Long lead
ing the fight for retention of the dec
laration contained in Wade Ellis draft
platform.
The Taft forces claim to have the
advantage in the struggle. They assert
that the appointment Of a subcommit-
tee of IS to consider the various con-
troverted planks was a distinct success
and point with pride to the fact that
Chairman Hopkins had appointed on
this committee nine men who favor the
injunction plank and four who are
opposed to it. The Taft managers pre-
diet a favorable result in the full com.
mittee and in the convention. but adj
NIT that their fight will be desperate
The opposition, still under the leader
ship of Speaker Cannon, who directs
his forces from his quarters at the
Union League Club, is tonight claiming
80 votes to % on the full committed
and expressing confidence that wher
the platform goes to the convention
the Objectionable plank will be miss

FOR GOOD ROADS.
Plank Will be Urged Upon Both Ma
tional Conventions.


Chicago, June 17-"The gospel of
good roads" will be preached to both
the Republican and Democratic ma
tional conventions. Every influence
will be brought to bear to have a
"good roads" plank inserted in the
platform of each party. This program
was decided upon at the first meeting
of the national good roads congress
here yesterday. Secretary Taft was
heralded as the champion of the move
ment Timothy Woodruff, chairman of
the New York delegation, in the course
of an address before the gathering, said
he would use his influence in promoting
the "good roads" plank. He said he
was heartily in favor of good roads
throughout the United States. Similar
expressions were given by others who
attended.
A meeting of the congress win be
held in Denver July 6, prior to the
converting of the Democratic national
convention. Arthur G. Jackson, presi
dent of the congress, read a letter from
the president, which said in part;
"A few years ago it was a matter
of humiliation that there was so little
attention paid to the roads; that there
should be a willingness not merely tC
refrain from making good roads, but
to let the roads that were in axistene,
become worse.
81 cannot too heartily congratulate
our people upon the existence of body
such as this, ramifying into every sec
tion of the country, and bent upoI

the conditions of life easier and bette
