NEWMAN FACTION
WINS IN CONTESTS
Continued from Page One.

bia, where three factions warred, Edwin
Newman was seated; in the South Da-
kota contests ten delegates, Wilson men
and contestees, were seated, and in the
Philippine contest, the Texas contest,
and the Vermont. contest, the result was
the same.
In the Porto Rican quarrel a compro-
mise was reached by seating the six con-
testing delegates and giving half vote to
each.
Many Of the hearings before the SUBJ
committees were lively, to say the least.
Those Of the Alaska, the Rhode Island,
and the District Of Columbia were
threatened several times with personali-
ties. The Rhode Island contest, in which
former Representative F. c. OShau-
messy protested the seat Of George
Greene, was, perhaps, the most lively
in the whole list, which included the
vania, Illinois, South Dakota, Texas,
and the Territory of Alaska, the Philip
pine Islands, the District Of Columbia,
and Porto Rico.
Strip on Coats.
At one time during the Rhode Island
contest friends stepped between Fitzger-
aid. who presented Greene's side. and
]. B. Fitzsimmons, the O'Shaunessy
champion, who had removed their coats
and stepped into the aisle
The Illinois contest was one Of the most
bitterly fought, and IT held up the final
action Of the committee on the contests.
Long before It was over it was freely
predicted that which ever way II went,
whether against the Carter Harrison
faction or against Roger Sullivan, It
will be made the crux Of a convention
floor fight little less bitter than the
greater contest involving the temporary
chairmanship.
At a late hour tonight among the
many politicians who remained about
convention hall the idea was prevalent
that the National Committee would not
be able to put the finish to the Ohio
unit rule" fight which is being directed
by Newton Baker, Mayor of Cleveland
1t is freely prophesied that this fight will
also be taken to the convention floor and
made the pivot CT the quadrennial unit
rule" convention disagreement
The committee adjourned at u:H until
8 q. m. tomorrow

upon as yet, not even Outposts who are
three miles from the camp.
Estenoz and Ivonet, the rebel leaders,
are said to have stated that they are con-
vinced the government will not repeal
the Morua law and they are therefore
remaining in arms until the United States
intervenes. They declare they will never
surrender to the Cuban government.

Baltimore, Nd, June 24.-Baltimore be-

vention to-day. From the dawn Of a
day that has remained bright enough
to be called fair, there were outward
and visible signs OF the great gathering
Of Democrats. The night season was en-
ployed for a washing down Of decks, ae-
tusl and hgurative, and the rising sun
found. as usual, a coming line OF the
owl and the lark, the nlght-jar and the
early bird, the late glow, and the early
edible worm.
By O'Clock Mr.. Bryan was issuing a
statement; by he was demanding the
elimination Of Parker from political pro-
ceed!ngs. In the intervening hour, half
a dozen delegations had emerged in their
holiday fighting clothes, and Baltimore
ans were casting back for memories Of
the Elks. just after the big fire, and

mates for the mighty thronE Baltimore

Zero Temperature,
Long Sustained, Too
Cold for the Iceman

Even the ice men are kicking on the
cold weather. They prayed all fall for
cold weather early i'm the winter, that
they might have the opportunity to har-
vest a full crop and now they would like
to see the mercury go up about twenty
or twenty-five degrees.
The secret of their desire Is that ice
twelve 10 fourteen inches is more profit
able to handle than any other thickness
and the ice has now reached a depth of
fourteen inches and is getting thicker
every hour Another reason Is that II is
very difficult to keep full force of men
at work, due to the suffering of the men
from the extreme cold. Many men start
work inadequately clothed, work few
hours and quit.
Swift and Company, the Omaha Ice and
Cold Storage company and some smaller
concerns have between 400 AMI 800 men
at work on the harvest at Carter lake
The Cudahy Packing company has large
force at work on Seymour lake at Ralston
and Armour d CO. are harvesting at
Memphis,
The Carter lake companies fear that
two crops Of ice will be necessary to fiji
their houses, owing to the low water and
the consequent limited cutting area.

Party's
Attitude to Trusts
Scored by Perkins

NEW YORK, Jan. AN attack on the
republican party for its alleged failure
to carry out the first plank of its own
trust platform and FOR carrying out in
stead, he claimed, the democratic trust
plank (which the American people re-
pudiated," was a feature Of an address
by George w. Perkins director of the
United states Steel corporation and other
big interests, at "A luncheon OF the Re
publican club yesterday.
Referring to the sherman law and the
attitude of the two parties toward the
trust question as expressed in their 1908
platforms, Mr.. Perkins said:
What did the legislative branch do to
carry out its belief on the trust lques-
party platform? 1t left the question just
where it has beer fifteen or, twenty
years. Left the supreme court with no
choice but to interpret the law as II
stood, and left the business of the country
in an embarrassing situation. In the
place of providing the suitable publicity
and supervision for which the republican
party pronounced and which the people
of this country endorsed by a plurality
of over l2jO,OO0 votes, nothing, absolutely
nothing at all was done. We are now
witnessing the spectacle of the republican
party not only failing. to carry out the
first plank OF its own platform, but II
actually is vigorously carrying out the
trust plank of the democratic platform
which it so strenuously attacked and
which the American people repudated
Mr.. Perkins said the party which stood
for constructive Legislation would have
the support of the people next fall. He
branded 1t as n crime TO use az a pawn
in the next presidential election business
problems affecting the very life of the
nation, which were held back for at Least
twelve months for the profit and ad
vantage of politicians"
