developments with real and important
bearing on values today compared
with the unsubstantiaI fabric OF tips
and rumors which have made up the
influences in the stock market for
some time past. The effect was TO
throw the market into a state of seem
ing unsettlemeut, reflected in constant
and feVerish fluctuations and Il final
sharp break i'm prices, Feeding out OF
stock which has been the %favorite
mediums of speculation during much
of the recent rise was clearly percep-
tible, as shown by the constant range
below last nights level of the Harri-
mans and trdnscontinental stocks and
Erie. Even the excited movement in
Reading was not able to detach Erie
from the prevailing tendency in the
Hartman group, although Baltimore
and Ohio got the benefit of this divi-
sion. Illinois also moved in sympathy
with the Southern group and apart
from the other Harrimans. The most
influential incidents of the day We're
the decision OF a United States circuit
court against the Constitutionality of
the commodities clause of the Hep
burn law, the passage of the Amer
lean Locomotive dividend and a rise
in call money rates to a higher figure
than had zen tnnched since early in
March. As a speculative factor the
Hepburn law decision has been assum-
ed for many weeks and has been the
active factor in the Reading specula-

questionable. The loss of the advan-

production in the railroad carriers

to large issues of capital secured III
common by mortgages on the railroad
and coal properties. The speculative
contingent drew large differences also
of the bearing of the decision on pos
siblc checks by the courts on the att
tempts to control and punish the cor
porations.
Whatever the bearing on values of
this decision, the indisposition to real
ize speculative profits today in the
stock market gave warning that much
has been discounted, The American
Locomotive dividend omission or pos
sible reduction was not unexpected.

Second Days Beginning

Chicago, June 1.-THE republi-
can national convention entered up
on It's second day with several im-
'portant factors unsettled and with
trouble enough in sight to make it
certain that at least two
days more will be consumed before
nominations can be made and the
work Of the convention completed.
There was a striking contrast last
night between the gaiety Of the
crowds In the hotel corridors and the
cafes and the struggle in which two
of the most important standing COM
mittees were engaged, that on cree
dentials continuing throughout the
night.
The hotels were scenes Of harm
less riot; singing and cheering
crowds passed back and forth. There
was cheers for everybody from
Roosevelt and favorite sons down to
tho infnistestimal leaders Of Some
republican forlorn hope.

BLIND ! TOM
s
Famous Negro Pianist
Passes Away
Man Who Electrified the World For
Many Years by His Playing
of Difficult Compositions.

New York, June t4.Z-"Blind Tom"
whose real name was Thomas Wig
gins and who for nearly 20 years
delighted countless thousands with
his performances> on the piano, is
dead. Year after year reports were
made that, the old, sightless man,
who was born a slave, had passed
away. The reports proved untrue.
But now the body Of "Blind Tom"
the wizard Of the musical world who
astounded the masters, lies in the
funeral chapel Of the Frank E. Camp
bell Company, in West Twenty-third
street. IL will be inferred tomor-
row.
Thirty years ago there was no
name 80 we'll known in the musical
world as hat of blind Tom" Mana
gers of theatres and music shalls
fignratiVely knelt in front 'of what
ever hotel or friends home at which
he was stopping and begged him to
play. His name spelled money"
Not a person who read the newspap-
er5 or took interest in theatrical per-
formances was unfamiliar with the
character OF the broad~shoudered +,
solemn-faced Negro who, despite his
lack Of sight, could run the gamut
of Beethoven, List, Chopin, Ruben
stein, Wagner and the other great
composers His technique was al
most tawless, and, despite the gIooth
one might imagine would be attached
to the temperament. OF man who
was devoid of sight, he threw his
heart and soul into even the rolliek-
ing music Of the old plantation aira
Of ante-bellum days. -.
Blind Tom died last Saturday,
but not until today was the news
made public, then only through the
issuing Of a death certificate and
the filing of the same. He expired
in the home Of Mrs. Eliza Bethune
Lerche, Of No. 60 Twelfth street,
Hoboken, where he had lived for
years, Mrs. Lerche's former ,hus1
band, now dead, was General Beth.
une, who was patron. OF old Tom.
Mrs. Lerche took care Of the gray.
haired, venerable musician tenderly,
plying his plight and, admiring the
grit and genius he displayed.
Tom was born in 1849. He was
the son Of Charity and, Mignon Wig
gins, slaves on a plantation in Geor-

The above is the manner in which

republican national convention at
Chicago distributed it's honors. A
meeting Of the delegation was held
Monday night and Senator N. B,
Scott, for the fifth time, was chosen
unanimously to represent the state
on the republican national commit
tee.
Although there had been talk
about the hotel corridor In the big
convention city that the revolt Of
Teter and Curtin In favor of Roose-
welt might cause some friction. in
the meeting of the delegation there
was harmonious meeting, about
the only contest being that between
Edwards, Of Charleston, and Laugh
lin, of Wheeling, for chairman OF the
delegation, the former winning by
vote Of 8 to G. A dispatch from Chi
cago says:
There was little friction at the
start when Grant, of Nor antown,
moved to go into executive session
This was q tip that the Curtin and
Teter faction wished to poll the del
egation on Roosevelt and the real
Taft men we're on their feet quickly
Laughlin, Of Wheeling, declared
there was no reason for secrecy,
while Huffman, also Of Wheeling,
declared that better feeling would
prevail If all was done openly. 49,,
- Finally Grant, for the /, sake of
peace, withdrew his motion. Teter
moved the election Of Seymour Ed
wards, Of Charleston, for chairman
or the delegation. Delegate Dillon
nominated George Laughlin, Of
Wheeling. This was an unexpected
contest, especially to the Teterites,
and the ballot resulted In the cleo

he arose to decline. and moved the
election for Hoffman, from Wheeling
This Curtin motion was declared out
OF order, and he was elected despite
hts protests. Then came mild sug-
gestion from Chairman Edwards that
1t might be we'll to defer choosing
members OF the committee on notifi-
ton Of nominees for president and
vice. president. This was not the
view of the delegates who urged I'M
mediate action. Laughlin, ever 10y
al to Senator Scott, arose and insist
ed that the next thing in order was
the election of a member of the
national committee. Dillon jumped
up quickly and named Senator Scott.
There was chorus Of seconds, and
Scott was chosen with cheers. Then
came diplomatic move on the part
OF Huston, who named Charles T..
Teter. as member of the committee
to notify the nominee for president
Dillon seconded. and Teter, who did
mot expect this honor, was ,unani-
| mously chosen. Grant, of Morgan
town, moved the election Of r. E.
Huston for member of the committed

ial candidate, and this also was ap-
proved without dissent.

day that efforts would be made to

and arguments by the !Teter-Curtin
element might sway half the dele,

| vice president, and once it was car,
ried demand would be made fol

This tip caused some swift tele'

against opposing Scott. The ever

hustling on these lines, and the push
