RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE.
Many Persons with Special Planks are
 Given Hearing.

Chicago, June 16.-The committee on resolutions appointed today by the re- publican convention met in one or the parlors of the Auditorium Annex hotel at o'clock and after listening for some time to the representations Of numerous persons who desire to secure the insertion of special blanks in the plat form, appointed a sub committee of 13 to consider all disputed questions in detail and add the finishing touches to the document.
 Senator A. J. Hopkins of Illinois was made chairman of the committee, and Mai John F. Lacey of Iowa secretary.
 Among those heard was a delegation of ladies' including Mrs. Henrotin of this city and Miss Jane Addams of Chi cago.
 e Miss Addams argued that as women are interested in legislation for the protection of humanity in its domestic relations they should be granted the franchise, otherwise they would be un- able under present conditions to go for ward with the work required of them as the mothers of the race. Mrs. Henro- tin expressed confidence that the dem- ocrats would declare for equal suffrage, said MT. Bryan had announced his ad- vocacy of that policy and advised the republicans to forestall them and make sure of the favorable influence of the women of the country by inserting liberal plank in favor of woman suf- frage.

 PLANK DEMANDED
Taft and Roosevelt Insist Upon
 This In Platform
PRIVATE WIRES KEPT HOT
White House and Taft's Office Are in Direct Connection With the Coli scum and Orders to the Lead
 CTS Must Be Obeyed.

Washington, June 16.-(Special.) )-Pres- ident Roosevelt and Secretary Taft are standing pat upon their decision that there shall be a strong anti-injunotion plank in the platform to be adopted at Chicago.
 Notification to this effect was carried 10 the leaders in the convention today in messages which went over private wires from Washington to tho agents of the sd- minstraton in Chicago.
 The opposition to the course of the President is known to be intense, but this has not altered him in his determination in favor of the anti-injunction plank.
 Both the President and Secretary Taft are keeping in constant touch with the trend of events associated with the big political gathering. They are in touch with the administration forces by long distance telephone, and may be said to be in absolute control and fully aware of their power over the assembled delegates. Not only is the White House connected up with its own special wire, but also the office of Secretary of War Taft, into which there has been installed double doored, noise proof telephone booth so that the leading candidate may talk with his leaders and managers at any hour of the day without interruption.
 Even the presence of q visitor in the secretary's office does not interfere with his touch upon the convention. As soon as there is q ring at the telephone booth Secretary Taft excuses himself for few moments from his visitor, hops into the interior of that structure, closes the door and talks over direct wire to his hearts content, and the chief order that went over the line today to Manager Frank Hitchcock, Senator Hopkins of the reso- lutons committee, Attorney General Wade Ellis of Ohio and others connected with the building of the platform was that the administration insists upon the incorporation of the anti-injunction plank without alteration.

SENATOR BURROWS MAKES ADDRESS ON PARTY'S RECORD
Demonstration for Taft Is Weak and Applause for Roosevelt Is Lively But There Are No Wild Out
 breaks of Enthusiasm.

Chicago. June 16-Amid scenes of stir. ring enthusiasm the republican national convention of 1908 began it's deliberations at noon today in the presence of an as- semblage estimated at upward of 14000 people, with the sounds of patriotic airs alternating with the frenzied shouts for Roosevelt, Taft and the other republican heroes, the first tocsin of the coming struggle from the graceful orator of Mich igan, Senator Julius Cesar Burrows, and the initial formalities which started this momentous gathering into meeting.
 The opening session lasted less than two hours and was less notable for the busi- Tess accomplished than for the opportu- nity 1t afforded of seeing again this stir ring picture of the people assembled from every corner of the country to select I candidate for president of the United States. The actual work of the day was quickly accomplished, and tonight the va rious important committees, on ereden- tials, platform, organization, etc.. are pre- pairing tor the more important business to come.
 Early in the day all roads in Chicago turned toward the huge pile known as the Coliseum, with its back toward Lake Michigan and it's gothic turrets fronting a rather shabby section of the city. Here centered the convention throngs-state del egations, single and in groups, some with marching clubs and bands and banners for their favorites, the Ohio delegation with huge blue silk standard bearing the portrait of Secretary Taft At front and rear the great building was beseged by steady streams of humanity until at noon almost every seat in the structure was occupied and great crowds stood out side to catch the echoes from within.

HUGHES GIVES UP. He Will Have His Name Withdrawn From the Convention.

Chicago, June 16.-(Special.) )-As soon as the first ballot is taken the name of the governor of New York will be withdrawn from the consideration of the convention. National Committeeman Ward of New York tonight received letter from Gov Hughes authorizing him to take this course Knowing that the convention is fixed for Taft Gov. Hughes has prepared in advance to gracefully withdraw, the Empire state delegates having instructed for him. Gov. Hughes considers it his duty to remain candidate for the pres- dency until a vote is taken. It simply means perfunctory getting into the band wagon, but the news of the receipt of the letter nevertheless created much en- thusiasm at Taft headquarters.

Impressive Scene.

The scene when the vast assemblage was called to order was one of impressive dig nlty, of animation, and Of color. In the central arena sat the delegations almost one thousand strong, and back of them their alternates, another thousand in num- Der. with the standards of the states ris-
 ing here and there above the turbulent sea of heads.
 The points of vantage. immediately in front, were held by Ohio New York, Penn sylvania. Indiana and Wisconsin. each having a candidate, while farther back rank after rank, were arranged other states and territories, Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Philippines and Alaska-appropriatel forming the outlying fringe of the official delegation.
 Around this central mass of delegates and alternates swept the long lines of spectators, in rising tiers and in solid masses, men and women, the latter in gay-hued summer gowns and with flutter- ing fans and waving handkerchiefs. High CT up another gallery made the entire cir cult of the vast inclosure. About thls eyer-movng. kaleidoscopic scene bent ths huge semi-circuar roof, it's steel glrders looped with bunting and ablaze with cleo tric devices, while on every side the na- tlonal colors were woven into sunbursts, shields and patriotic symbols. In front of the delegates stretched the mammoth platform, 200 feet square, and accommo- dating 1900 distinguished guests, including ambassadors and ministers from foreign states besides the officers of the conven- ton and members of the national commit tee.
