How They Were Captured

The final clew came as the result of piecing together a number of converse tions overheard by detectives and re- ported to the commissioner at different times The first conversation was that they are not lonesome. because thy can see moving picture show from their back windows"
 Another conversation gave the informa- ton that there was q laundry in the house where the missing men lived. which was named either the New Brighten. the Bright or the Brighten Hand Laundry"
 A third conversation supplied the fact that the neiehhorhood was full of Swedes and Germans"
 1t then became Commissioner Dough- erty's task to discover somewhere hand laundry ii proximity to a moving picture show in a vicinity inhabited by foreigners of the natonalties named. The possible name of the laundry was obtained less than two days ago, and the con,missiorer CT discovered that there were half dozen laundries of similar names in New York city and many more in other cities, for the commissioner did not assume that the gunmen were necessarily located ir New York.
 When we found the laundry with a moving picture show close by. there were no Swedes and Germans in the neghbor- hood" said Mir. Dougherty tonight When we found laundry with tho foreigners in the neighborhood there was no moving picture show. One of oul laundry clows took us to New Haver and we were just about to investigate another in Pittsburg."

Finally Discover Laundry

They set themselves to watch tho apartments situated above the laundry and late in the afternoon were rewarded by see 1 ing "Gyp the Blood's" wife leave the building and do an errand at a store. Both wives had been missing since Tuesday. They cleverly eveded detec-
 tives by jumping into a waiting auto
 mobile after leaving an 'I" train on
 which they were riding in the direc- ton of Harlem. The detectives there fore felt certain that they were with
 their husbands. The women had sev- eral other times eluded surveillance by l the use of an automobile, but pre- viously had always returned to their 1 homes in one. The arrest followed as
 soon az the detectives could collect re- 1 Inducements.

There we're many scattering vote on
the roll call that ensued.
The revolt of many Roosevelt dele
gates in the convention was apparent
from the moment the permanent roll
containing the names of contested del.
egates was approved. A "valedi tory
statement was read IN behalf of Colo.
mel Roosevelt, asking that his name
be not presen. ed, and that his dele
gates sit in mute protest against all
further proceedings. At no time was
there an indication of a walkout Of
Roosevelt delegates. They expressed
their revolt by silence.
The friends of Mr.. Taft we're in con
troll of the convention from the open
ing until the close. The fight for con
tested delegates was carried to the
credentials committee and to the fooI
of the convention. The battle began
as soon as Senator E.ihu Root, of New
York, was elected temporary chairman
and at times the police in attendance
were called upon to restore order. The
Taft and Roosevelt delegations vieo
with each o;her cheering and paradins
the aisles Of the hall
During the second days session Col
onel Roosevelt issued a statement tc
his delega es urging them to bolt in
a body If his contested delegates were
not seated. But Governor Hadley, oil
Missouri ahd Senator B3rah, OF Idaho
Roosevelt E0or leaders in the conven.
tion, refsse to bolt and form a new
party and a split among the Roosevelt
delegates Was threatened.
Colonel Roosevelt then issued al
statement after comforting with his ]
leaders that they should take no part
whatever in the convention proceed !
ings unless the fraudulent" and
Stolen" del agates. ninety-two in mum !
Der for Mr.. faft. were unseated. From |
that time on 344 delegates refrained
from voting.
In the closing moments Of the con.
vention a resolution was passed under
the gaven giving the national commit
tee the power to fill all vacancies and /
empowering the committee to declare
vacant the seat of any member who
refuses to support the nominees ol
his convention. Former Representa-
i've Hemenway, Of Indiana, introduced

ROOSEVELT TO
HEAD new PARTY
Progressive Convention HOmi-
mates Him For President.

Former President Theodore Roose-
welt was nominated for president as an
independent in the dying hours of the
Republican national convention in Chi
cagO in which he had met defeat.
The followers of Colonel Roosevelt
gathered in Orchestra hall, less than
a mile from the Coliseum, and pledged
their support to the former president.
In accepting the nomination Colonel
Roosevelt appealed to the people OF
all sections, regardless OF party afil-
iations, to stand with the founders Of
the new party, one of whose cardinal
principles, he said, would be Thou
shalt not steal"
The informal nomination Of Colonel
Roosevelt was said to be chiefly to
effect a temporary organization. A call
is to be issued for a state convention
in Illinois, the work of organization
will be pushed forward rapidly, state
by state. At a later time, probably
early in August, it is intended that a
national convention shall be held.
Colonel Roosevelt, in accepting the
nomination said he did so on the un-
derstanding that he would willingly |
step aside if it should be the desire
Of the new party, when organized, to |
select another standard bearer.
The Progressive Party" was the /
name chosen, and it was the announc
ed purpose of the leaders to take over
the machinery of the Republican party
in states where the organization is in
control of the Roosevelt men. In such
cases the Republican candidates for
state offices may be indorsed, if they
do not wish to go through the form Of
boiling.
The plan suggested by William
Finn, Of Pittsburgh, of turning over
the electoral votes of such states to
whoever the Republican
candidate for president may be, will
be followed if it can be accomplished.
