Traders Holding AIoof Until After the National Conventio on.

New York, June 15.-With the dele gates assembling at Chicago for the convention. attention today was cen tered largely in political matters. The chief effect was to make operators dis inclined to enter commitments at this time. Much of the discussion turned on the prospective form the platform. particularly such blanks as have to do with questions directly affecting capi- tai and labor.
 Traffic officials generally while speaking confidently of the crop prom ise. had no improvement to report as to the tonnage movement and gave no prediction of an immediate change in. this respect.
 The movement of stock prices was almost q repetition of that of SatuY- day. The days changes were trivial.

GRAFT rs CHARGED
IN CASE.

the entire day was unfinished at
o'clock last night and was continued
until o'clock today Throughout the
afternoon session, when the sensation
had spread about the city. the court
room was filled with interested specta-
tors, mostly lawyers. Nothing of this
character has ever stirred up a greater
feeling than the present regrettable
incident. The people of Gary seemed
anxious to have the charges sifted to
the bottom and their wish was fully
gratified. Many and varied are the
opinions of the innocence or guilt of
the accused officer, but all are demand
ing justice, whichever party has been
wronged
In a statement yesterday afternoon.
, Attorney y. A. Beck stated that he Will
ask for a grand jury investigation Of
the charges against Juric no matter
what may be the decision of the court
today in the matter of the provocation
charge. 1t seems therefore that the
end of the trouble is a long way off.
JURIC DENIES CHARGES.
| AS to Juric, he sweepingly denies
having ever accepted or demanded an
extortion from Soloman. He says that
he was only in the grocery twice since
| he has been an officer, and that is when
| he arrested Adolph Markowitch, the
| brother-in-law of the groceryman, for
| horse stealing, and yesterday after
noon. Juric is confident that he will
| be vindicated and Chief Martin backs
him up. The accused policeman is a
| Hungarian and has always been con-
| sldered a competent man and especially
valuable because of the fact that he is
linguist of considerable ability.

The end of the old Roby race track
has come at last. The place where
the once famous race course, where

now employed in tearing down the
grand stand and after the debric is
cleared away the land on which the

Vast Audience Present at Cere-
mOny of Notification in
Cincinnati

CINCINNATI, July 2s.-Ofh-
cially notified today of his nomi-
nation for the presidency by the
republican party, William H.
Taft. standing on the portico of
his brothers home in this city,
the city of his nativity, formally
accepted the honor, pledged anew
his allegiance to the policies of
President Roosevelt and declared
that the chief function of the next
republican administration would
be to clinch what already has
been accomplished by the present
occupant of the White House.
In doing this. however. Mr.. Taft pointed
out IN what Is regarded as a con-
servative note in his address, that
there will be a serious and diflcula
work to do. principally "to devise ways
and means in which the high level OF
business integrity and obedience to law
which he president ROOsevelt) has
established may be maintained and de-
partures from 1t restrained withouE
undue interference with legitimata
business"
Taft attacked the democratic pIat-
form. asserting that most OF it's
declarations either are inconsistent on
disingenuOus. Bryan's policies wera
held up as destructive.
The vast audience that heard tbs
candidate filed porches. the lawns and
streets surrounding the Taft residences
and, seeming not to mind the intense
heat which the direct rays Of the MIDI
summer sun sent down upon il. was
responsive to Mr.. Taft's every mood.
Mr.. Taft spoke for one hour and
seven minutes. Because of the intense
heat, which he appeared TO feel more
keenly beneath the canopy OF the
speakers stand than did those in the
open lawn, he cut his enunciatiOn OF
principles in many places. passing over
entire sheets OF his manuscript at a
time. explaining his course and the
reason therefor. IN order-that his hear
ers might read the entire speech as Il
comes out for publication.
CONTRASTS INJUNCTION PLANKs
Mr.. Taft denounced the democratic
anti-injunctiOn plank as vague and ann
biguous in contrast to the republican
declaration. which. he said. was "oleal
and unequivocal"
Labor and the rights OF labor came

the acceptance was made a holiday By
