Chicago. June 1S.-Whether the
republican national convention viii
finish its work and reach final ad
journment this afternoon or even. or
whether it viii extend over into to-
morrow, as seems probable. or even
longer. was tine subject of much spec
ulation at the outset of the third
day.
Cut Down Speeches.
An agreement was reached yester-
day that the long array of nominat-
ing and seconding speeches should be
curtailed materially, so that only two
speeches would be made for each of
the nominees.
All Night They Labored.
The committee ou resolutions, by
continuing in session practically all
night. reached final agreement on
the platform. thus obviating any fur
ther adjournment on that score.
Something May Explode.
But the explosive features of the
matter are still to be acted upon by
the convention itself, and it is felt
that it is entirely possible that this
convention might be one of those
gatherings at which. if all is well it
is WELL but at which the slipping of
d II
moment may precipitate one of those
amazing eruptions that mark epochs
in political history.
Nominations Today.
There were major matters left to
be disposed of when the convention
began its morning session today
the nomination for the presidency,
the nomination for the vice pres-
dency and the adoption af platform.
Vice President Race.
The vice presidential situation is
still entirely unsettled, and, unless
the work of the convention today un-
eX. o.7iIy cvpedites. this matter will
go over until tomorrow.
Interest is Keen.
In point of general interest and
the possibility of lively developments
the last is first Nothing has so en-
crossed the sentiment of the dele
gates as the anti-injunction plank,
and opposition to it is looked for on
the floor of the convention.
No Stampede Expected.
When the convention yesterday
adopted the report of the committee
on credentials it confirmed the al
ready evident control by the Taft
forces.

Roosevelt Wired Them.
A telegram from President Roose-

telegram from Secretary Taft, each
urging action.
Ultimatum Given.
An ultimatum, in substance if not
in words, had been delivered shortly
before to the allies, which was in

tion of Roosevelt should the con-

Then followed protracted dis
cussion and the final adoption of the
contested plank by a vote of 50 to

There were a number of minor
contentious in the committee, but the
Roosevelt-Taft idea prevailed in the
final analysis.

1.-The republican party will uphold
at all times the authority and integ-
rity of the courts, state and federal,
and will ever insist that their powers
to enforce their process and protect
life. liberty and property shall be
preserved inviolate.
I'VE believe, however, that the rule
of procedure in the federal courts in
respect to the issuance of II writ of
Injunction should be more accurately
defined by statute, and that no in-
junction or temporary restraining or
der should he issued without notice.
except that irreparabie injury should
result from delay, in which case !;
speedy hearing thereafter should be
granted"
Eulosizes the President.
The platform as agreed upon con-
tains warm eulosy or President
Roosevelt at the outset, saying that
the republican party has reached its
highest service under the leadership
of Roosevelt; that his administra-
tion is an epoch in American history,
and that American manhood has been
lifted to nobler sense of its duty
and obligations.
Reviews Legislation.
The platform reviews the recent
legislation, and says that the late re-
vival in business shows the substan-
tial basis upon which our commercial,
industrial and agricultural interests
are founded.
Revision of Tariff.
The platform then declares un-
equivocally for a revision of the tar
iff by a special session of congress

tion of the next president, and ap-
proves the currency measure recently

ARTIST EARLE
BUILDING FORT
Stable on His New York Estate
Is to Resemble q
Stronghold.

Monroe, N. Y, Nov. 4.-Ferdinand
Pinney Earle, whose marital affairs
have brought so much prominence to
him. has begun work on new building
on his place in Blooming Grove that
strongly resembles fortress. the win
dows and doors being heavily barred,
while the entire structure is built
strongly.
Earle intends to use the place as a
stable and insists that 1t has to be
strongly built to keep his horses and
even his ferocious Great Dane dogs
safe from thieves.
4 AS q further protection against rob-
bers he has posted laiysn signs on his
land warning all that trespass thereon
that they do SO under risk of being
shot or torn by vicious dogs.
While Earle is taking these means to
protect the property his more conser-
vative neighbors are considering tho
formation of a law and order society
for the mutual protection of their pos
sessions. Last winter II of the homes
of summer residents were robbed, and
the horses and other stock OF others
were stolen. In only one case was q
prosecution had. that being one in
which Henry Wellington Wack. New
was threatened with the firing OF his
buildings II he persisted 80 he bought
ehotguns for his farm hands. Others
under like threats. withdrew their
charges rather than take chances with
possible hrebugs. This fall there have
been numerous petty robberies, with
the result that the law and order idea.
formulated last fall by Mr.. wack. is
Rgain under consideration.

But" says the colonel. "this baby
Is what call normal. He is the first
one in the family to have two sets Of
six. Now that he is balanced all around,
he makes rather a fit youngster.
II am expecting great things Of the
boy, especially if he has any musical
talent. Think what he would do on

Why, he would discover harmonies

am not much on music. but even If I
had been. with five fingers on one hand
and six on the other. I would get some

INDIANS DEMAND
BONUS TO LOCA7,E
Big OIL SPR NC
Rich Discovery Said to Have
Been Made by Red Men
on Reservation.

PukwaEa, S. D., Oct. 3l.-Rumors of
the existence OF oil in the bluffs of
Buffalo county have been heard several
times, but no evidence to substnatiate
the rumor has been produced until last
Saturday when All Indian from the res
ervation came to Pukwana with a
quart can of pure crude Oil. which he
declares oozes out of the ground at tho
foot of bluff on the reservation. The
oil from the spring. he declares. has
accumulated there and formed pool
which contains probably so barrels, and
the sample which he had with him was
dipped from this pool.
The Indian says the oil will burn
readily. He has often dipped fire wood
into it. and when the wood is fired it
burns furiously.
Another Indian, Wallace Ashley, who
is we'll known and reliable, confirms
the report, and SAWS that he has seen
the oil spring and describes it SUBJ
stantially as stated. They both refuse
to divulgc the location of the spring
without guarantee of a cash bonus
for the information which they insist
should be $4,000.
An investigation will be made to OBJ
tain further evidence of the presence
| of oil in that region.

SuLLY'S DAUGHTER
ENTITLED ONLY TO

If Mother Was Indian She Can
Take Allotment or Share

Wakpala, 8. D., Oct. 30.-There ie not
q shadow Of a foundation for the claim
made in Chicago dispatch that q
daughter of Jack Sully has a legal
right to the Rosebud reservation. Even
provided that Mrs. Sing is halfbreed

would be entitled to an allotment OF
one-half section of the land only, under

said was valid. but impossible OF col

that they neved ceded the Black Hills

TWINE SAVING
INVENTION FOR
GOVERNMENT USE

Sioux Falls, S. D.. Oct. 3o.-south
Dakota's delegation in congress this
winter will ask that body to adopt an
invention Of Charles p. Curlew, q ci-
garmaker of Sioux Falls, designed to
save the postoffle department $4,000, 900
year. For some years the depart
ment has sought device that would
do away with the large amount of
twine used for bundles of mail. Thus
far nothing has been devised that has
proved satisfactory.
Curlew's father is janitor at the post
Office here and through him the young
man heard Of the opportunity. He has
perfected a very simple device and has
had 1t patented. It combines a wire
coil with a string that may be drawn
taut. The wire coil holds the string
in place, and, being adjustable, dis
tributes wear on the twine. Curlew
says he has used one model 400 times
and he Is sure one piece of string
could be utilized thousands OF times

ADMIT STANDARD
GOT LOWER RATE

New York, Nov. 2-The admission
that the Standard Oil company bene-
f1ted from a preferential freight rate
lower than that quoted to any other
shipper was drawn from a witness at
the hearing in the government suit to
dissolve the company.
George B. Ferguson, clerk in the
freight department of the Central Ver-
mont railroad, gave the testimony re-
ferred to. After enumerating various
tariffs in force on the Central Vermont
one Of which, he declared. had ever
been secret, the witness was taken in
hand by the governments attorney.
who ELECTED information that a special
rate had been issued to the Standard
Oil company. Pressed as to what other
shippers had been benefited from this
special tariff, the witness said that as
far as he knew the rate applied only
to the Standard. The extent Of the
preference accorded to the Standard by
the Central Vermont was shown in
two letters quoting freight rates per
carload. In one instance the rate was
given as $33, a carload, while in the
other case the rate quoted was $23.
The witness admitted that the s23 was
the one under which the Central YER
mont carried the Standards shipments.
