 Just as the opening hour arrived the Ohio delegation swung down the middle aisle bearing aloft a blue silken banner with the portrait of OhiO's candidate. It was greeted with cheers.

 UNIQUE ATTRACTIVE
Phoenix Lodge No. 335 Has Secured the
 Most Appropriate One Yet Seen.

One of the prettiest and most unique any occasion is that of Phoenix lodge, No. 335, B. P. O. Elks. with about $50 of which Frank ConneIley will be sup piled when he leaves here as a dele gate to the grand lodge which meets in Dallas, Texas, July 13. It has come to be custom with many lodges, and particularly with the Elks, to supply their delegates with a sufficient number of souvenirs at each session for ex- change with all the other delegates who are supplied, and when the dele gate returns to his own lodge he has a handsome collection to show the brethren.
 These badges not only show that the lodge from which the member halls is a live one but they do a great deal to- ward advertising the country he comes from, not only among the members of the order but among the public gener- ally in the convention town and else where when the badges are displayed The Phoenix lodge thinks it has about the acme of perfection in this line this year and the badges are so attractive that many of the members have sub scribed for an individual supply to give to their Elk friends elsewhere. There will probably be thousand of them distributed this year advertising Phoenix
 This badge is a sort of a shield on which appears an Ell<'s head with the emblematic clock, set at II o'clock. Be heath it is a double scroll, the upper one bearing the words Dallas. 1908" and the lower one the words Phoenix, No. 335." Pendant from this hangs a loving cup on which are the words, Arizona leads the world in copper" The entire badge is made of oxidized Arizona copper and is handsome and durable and will attract attention any where. Those interested in seeing it can find one at the board of trade by asking the secretary.

The Conclusion.

The formal proceedings of the con- vention gave the spectators an op- portunity to see three conspicuous actors on the scene-Sereno E. Payne, who moved that the rules of the last convention prevail until the new rules shall be presented; Senator Long of Kansas, who presented the customary resolution for the appointment of committees on resolutions, creden- tials, permanent organization and rules and order business; Senator Lodge, who cut short the monoton- ous droning of the names of mem bers of the committees by having the lists turned into the secretary with out reading.
 There was but one hitch, and that was momentary, when MT. Burrows announced that Louisiana had com pleted two distinct sets of officers for its state delegation. He speedily explained that this difficulty had been adjusted by agreement whereby no member from Louisiana would. be represented on any committee of the convention.
 MT. Burke of Pittsburg took early occasion to get before the committee his resolution, plan to reduce the representation in future national con- ventions.
 At o'clock, when the last formal ity was accomplished, the strains of the national anthem broke forth, when the convention adjourned and the multitudes dispersed.
 Tonight the work of the commit tees is progressing while the hotel corridors continue to be the scene of heated discussion over the vice-pres- idency and the platform. The perm anent organization of the convention has been fully outlined by the com mittee in charge of the work. MT. Lodge will be permanent chairman.
 The work of the committees on credentials and resolutions has been marked by great difficulty and re- ports which came from their delibera- tions indicate a sharp contention be- fore the final credentials and plat form reports are effected

BARNET LIED TO HIM
 ABOUT THE SPIRITS
J. Dalzell Brown Tells Why He Sold
 The Cotton Securities.

San Francisco, June 16.-J. Dalzell Brown, the principal witness for the prosecution in the trial of Walter J. Bartnett for the embezzlement of the Cotton securities, testified today that he was a believer in spiritualism, and when Bartnett told him that the spirit of the late Mrs. Ellen Cotton directed him to use the securities as he saw fit for the good of the bank he be- lieved it was his duty to obey the spirit.
 Brown was on the stand all day un- der cross examination, the evident purpose of the defense being to prove that Brown was responsible for wreck ing the institution. and that the sale of the Cotton securities was an effort to save the bank
 Browns testimony will be concluded tomorrow and the end of the present week, the third Of the trial. may see the end of the case.

Chicago, June 16.-Amid scenes of stirring enthusiasm, the republican national convention of 1908 began it's deliberations at noon today in the presence of an assemblage estimated at more than 14,000 people, with sounds of patriotic airs alternating with frenzied shouts for Roosevelt, Taft and other popular heroes The first tocsin of the struggle was sound ed by the graceful orator of Michi- gan, Senator Julius Caesar Burrows, in the initial formalities which start ed the momentous gathering into mo- ton.
 The opening session lasted less than two hours. The actual work of the day was quickly accomplished, and tonight various important com mittees are preparing for the more important business to come.
 Early today all roads into Chicago turned toward the huge Coliseum. Here centered the convention throngs, the state delegations, some with marching clubs and bands, banners for favorites, and the Ohio delega- ton with a huge blue silk standard bearing the portrait of Secretary Taft
 At front and rear the great build ing was besieged by steady streams of humanity until noon, and almost every seat in the structure was occu- pied and great crowds stood outside to catch the echoes from within.
 The Opening Scene.
 The scene when the vast assem- blaze was called to order was one of impressive dignity, animation and color. In the central arena sat the delegates, and back of them the all ternates. with the standard of the states rising here and there above the turbulent sea of heads.
 The points of vantage immediately in front were held by Ohio. New York, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Wis consin, each having a candidate; while farther back ranged the other states, the territories, Hawaii, Porto Rico. the Philippine islands, Alaska, appropriately forming an outlying fringe of official delegations. Around this central mass of delegates and al- ternates swept long lines of specta- tors. High up above the vast assem- blaze bent the huge semi circular roof, its steel girders looped with

brief tormalities, and introduced the 1 temporary presiding officer of the convention, Senator Burrows of Mich igan. The venerable senator stepped forward with a ponderous roll of manuscript in his hand.
 The Name of Roosevelt.
 Slowly the buzz of confusion died away and he began to speak His first words were barely audible five feet away. Gradually he warmed to the subject as he told of the glories of the party he had served so long, and his well rounded sentences were carried to the farthest corners and were hammered in here and there by expressive gestures, but it was not a speech calculated to set the blood tingling It dealt with the party's record of achievements. Not until the senator had made the first men ton of Roosevelt" did his words seem to start the assemblage as by a magic thrill.
 Instantly the speech was drowned in a great shout which went up from every side as the delegates sprang to their feet and waved their hats, echoing back the tumult from the galleries, where fluttering handker- chiefs. fans and parasols broke into moving color, and the whole assem- blaze joined in a vociferous demon- stration.
 The first outburst spent itself with in a minute, and gradually subsided. Calm came again and soon the ora tor proceeded with the record sOf the party's achievements Every sue ceeding mention of the presidents name brought another wave of en- thusiastic tribute.
 The names of Taft and Root sent cheers ringing from gallery to gal lery. But those whirlwinds of noisy demonstrations which have fairly car ried some conventions off their feet did not occur.
 The American Judiciary.
 Aside from the names of popular idols, the speakers words awakened stir of enthusiasm for the navy, the man behind the gun, and continued in his allusion to the occupation of the Philippines, and tariff revision which will give just and adequate protection to American industry" These policies appeared to appeal strongly to the assemblage, but the greatest enthusiasm over a question of policy came when he delivered a fervid apotheosis to the American ju- dietary as the great conservative bull wark of the country.

THE SPEECH OF CHAIRMAN
 BURROWS.

Another chapter in our national his tory under republican administration is soon to be concluded, and conforming to party usage long established this convention of 9SO delegates and their lalternates. chosen by the republican electorate from every state anu terri tory within the confines of the repub- lie, meets in this high council to sub init the record of it's achievements to the critical review of the American people and make fresh avowal of its faith in the principles and policies of the republican party.
 ''The framers of the federal constitu- ton wisely provided that all govern mental power should be lodged with and retained by the people and that their chosen representatives selected to administer the affairs of government should be vested with only a limited tenure of official life and at regular and stated periods render an account of their stewardship to their rightful sovereign, to the end that the admins tration of public affairs, through the instrumentality of individuals and par ties, should at all times conform to and reflect the dominant judgment of the American people.
 "To this end the constitutional term of the executive office is limited to four years, the senatorial to six, with third of its membership subject to change every two years, while the serv- ice of members of the national house of representatives, the immediate and direct sponsors of the people, is re- stricted to the brief period of two years. Thus in this free representa- tive government all power oyer off cials. parties, and policies rests at all times with the supreme electorate, con- firming the declaration of Abraham Lincoln that this is in fact a govern ment of the people, by the people, and for the people,
