Cheyenne. Wyo.. Aug. 23.-With the
opening OF the Frontier day celebration
today, the invasion of Cheyenne was
begun. From al points of the COM
pass and in every imaginable vehicle
crowds OF every sex, color and former
condition Of servitude poured into the
Wyoming capital. Range wagons plOwed
slowly in the wake of automobiles.
HOrssmen on brOnchOs that had never
seen a town swerved wildly from the
rapid-fire explosions OF motorcycles,
while herds of wild cattle and horses
surged straight across country, defying
the roads.
The railroads are bringing in thou
sands in and under cars, and many of
the less fortunate are walking. on the

ing shoulders with magazine writers,
while the timorous tourist hesitates on
the curb between the hundreds of In
dian bucks and squaws stalking stolidly
along the sidewalk and range horsemen
giving imprOmptu exhibitions of horse
manship IN the roadway.
One lie unites them all. The dearest
wish OF every heart is a bed and some
thing 10 eat, and they must battle 10
secure either. Hundreds viii not go 10
bed, some because they fear 10 miss
something. but most of them because

Der of Committee on Duty

sumption today of the hearing under
Senator Stone of the select committee
of the Senate TO inquire into the con-
duct of criminal law by federal Off
cials, former Federal Land Agent
George c. Hunt was on the stand. In
response to questions by Senator Stone
he related the story of the inVestiga-
ton of land frauds made by him before
Perrin and Benson were indicted for
conspiracy to defraud the government
He was crOss-eXamined by l.. s. VIII
liams, attorney for Perrin, and by DR..
Perrin himself
BY consent of Senator Stone. the wit
ness was also questioned by l.. p.
BOardman. attorney for q. ID. Smell, now
under Indictment for perjury in con-
nectiOn with his testimony during the
the witness to point out that part OF
his report in which he had based his
expressed opinion OF DR.. Perrin's in
nOcence Attorney BOardman rose with
the objection that Hunt had made 10
such statement. This led to a wTangle
between BOardman and the attorneys
for Perrin, which was followed by the
announcement of Senator Stone that he
would not permit any further blckar-
by the attorneys. United States Attor
ney Deviin asked and was granted
permission to question d. Perrin, Bar
clay Henley and q. r. Hather before
the conclusion of the hearing.
At the afternoon session of the SEN
ate committee, Witness Hunt explained
his action in asking for warrant for
the arrest of Former Secret Service
Operative William J. Burns for subor-
nation of perjury.
Hunt said that he was led 10 make
the charges against Burns through
purely personal motives He admitted
that the expulsion of his friend, w. A.
Richards. from his position as land
commissioner and his own temporary
suspension as land agent was RESPONSE
BILE in measure for his action.
Under cross examination by United
States Attorney Devlin, Hunt said that

NO BLACKMAILING PLOT
White Declares He "OnIy Wanted IL
Get Something ON senator Lori
mer7-NOt After the Money.

Chicago, Aug. 23.-'T wanted 10 get
something on Senator Lorimer; il was
not an effort 10 blackmail him that 1
offered my manuscript for sale to him.
1 simply wanted TO get a letter from
him about it."
This testimony was given today by
Representative White in the second
trial of Lee ONeil Browne. who p
charged with bribing White TO vote Tor
LOrimer for senator White wrote the
senator that he had prepared a 80, 900
word expose of graft in the Illinois
legislature and that he was 10 be paid
81 a word for il by magazine.
Replying TO further questions on
Crosse examination, White said he had
written Browne asking FOR a loan. not
that he needed the money, but he said
he hoped 10 get something on
Browne"
The defense bounced upon this testi-
mony, declaring that White had sworn
in the first trial that he was without
funds when he wrote 10 Browne.
The witness aVOWal that he had
hoped 10 trap Senator LOrimer into
making admissions was declared by
Brownies counsel TO show that the
plot" was less against Browne than
against Lorimer.

New York Leader Glad Roose-
welt Will Attend State Con-
ventiOn and Give Expression
as to His Political Views.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-MnIiam
N Barnes, jr., Republican leader of
Albany and one of the "Old
Guard" who selected Vice President
sherman for temporary chairman Of
the state convention over the head of
Theodore Roosevelt, came to New York
today and gave out a statement in
part as follows;
"All citizens will rejoice at the state
ment of Mr.. Roosevelt that he will go
10 the Saratoga convention if Nassau
viii send him, and that here will be
no compromise ON his part, because
the people are entitled TO know where
the Republican party stands on all
public matters.
When Mr.. Griscom interjected Mr..
Roosevelt's name as a candidate for
the temporary Craftsmanship without
the members of the state committee
knowing where Mr.. Roosevelt stood on
the issues now before the people in this
state and after the vice president had
been placed in nomination before that
committee, thereby forcing the issue
which it was not the intention of the
committee TO create, his simply threw
firebrand into the Republican situa-
ton entirely unwarranted and for what
purpose il is not for me to say.
1t is, therefore, highly sensible on
the part of Mr.. Roosevelt If he hopes
TO control the policies of the Republic
can party in this state, that he should
so TO the state convention as a dele
gate and there thresh out what he
thinks ought to be the policy OF the
party with those who have different
opinions from him. 1t is assumed. of
course, that he Will abide by the de-
clslOn of that cOnVentiOn-as will those
who VIII oppose him there, If he is
Il am not informed what attack upon
the representative from of government
he win make, except that he has al
ready committed himself to the de-
structiOn of the convention system of
making nominations Upon that ques-
tiOn he will be opposed with all the in
telligence and power of those who rec
ognize in this populistic departure the
beginning of the fail OF representative
government.
There can be no compromise on this
subject. That he desires to commit the
party TO the extreme folly of the direct
is unfortunate. This great
nation wants peace and il is looking 30

"Today's pail hangs over the business

cause of political agitation. From one
end Of the country to the other. the
political agitatOr is still at work try
ing to arouse the people TO a sense of

What the business man and the
