PLATFORM Is
NEARLY READY

Chicago. June 21.-The resolutions
committee having virtually completed
the platform draft. adjourned at II
o'clock to attend the convention. It
will resume it's session later in the
day to put the finishing touches on
the platform.
NO provision was passed upon fin
ally. but among those to which no re-
turn Is liable to be made are those
dealing. with the trusts. with the
courts, with arbitration and with cam
paign contributions.
Legislation supplementary to the
Sherman antitrust law for the pre-
Vention of monopoly is recommended,
and the recommendation goes to the
extent Of suggesting the punishment
Of violations of the law as a crime.
Publicity for all campaign contribu-
tions and the prohibition of such con-
tributions from corporations are sug-
gested as in the interest of impartial
government.
The maintenance of the inviolability
Of courts Of justice is pressed and
there is an explicit declaration against
the recall of judges and of judicial de-
ctsions as contrary alike to the consti-
reference to arbitration Of all justi-
ciable controversies is recommended,
but the provision is not dwelt upon,
other recommendations are the re-
tentton by the government of the
ownership Of the natural resources of
the country. the enactment Of a
workmen's compensation law. the pro-
lection Of children against oppression
by antt-child labor legislation and the
safeguarding of the public health by
proper legislation. state and national.

MANY DELEGATES
ALREADY BROKE

Chicago. June 21.-The high cost
OF living. in Chicago during the con-
vention week today made itself felt
with the delegates to the republican
national convention. Collections and
subscriptions were started by the
members Of the national committee
and individuals to defray the expenses
of those delegates on whose purses the
extended session was telling. 1t is the
first time in many years, members Of
the committee said. that this situation
had introduced on a national conven-
tion.
Some Of the delegates. it was learn
ed today. had planned to leave for
home tomorrow, their funds having
become so far depleted they are un-
able to remain longer. Not less than
q dozen already have surrendered
their seats in the convention to their
depopulation Of the voting delegates

Chicago. June 21.-Colonel Roose-

hour before the timet set for today's
session of the republican convention
and went over the plans for the day
With his lieutenants. Senator Borah
and others of the Idaho delegation
were closeted for some time with the
former president. Governor Stuhhs OF
Kansas: Governor johnson of Califor-
MIA: James X. Garfield of Ohio and
score of others saw Col. Roosevelt be-
fore leaving for the convention hall.
1t Was said no change had been
made in the program of the Roosevelt
delegates adopted yesterday. The
plans which We're made at the caucus
of the two representatives of each
state having Roosevelt delegates were
discussed at a series of caucuses of the
state delegations last night and this
morning. The leaders asserted that
virtually every Roosevelt delegate in
Chicago had approved the program.

The Roosevelt delegates from Mas

brought New jersey. West Virginia
and California back to their feet and
there was another attempt to start a
demonstration. Again it suhsided
and the crowd settled back to await
the fall of the gavel.

Chicago. June 21.-The republican
national convention was called to Or
der at 1926 p. m. today by Chairman
Root.
With the knowledge that the COM
mittee on credentials had not nearly
completed its work the delegates We're
slow to move toward the coliseum this
morning for the session which was
scheduled to begin at II a. M. Up
to 10:45 o'clock only a handful of
delegates were in their seats but from
this time on they poured in from every
| aisleWay. i.
Conflicting reports had gone abroad
as to the intention of the leaders. 1t
was variously rumored that there
| would be recess until 8 p. M, an ad-
journment until tomorrow. or that the
convention would proceed to the con-
sideration Of such contested cases as
the committee had decided at the con-
Vening hour.
The general impression was that an
adjournment would be taken but some
considered at once.
| 1t was further reported that it
might he Tuesday or Wednesday be-
fore nomination was reached.
| At II a. M. word came that the
convention was to proceed on a par
tial report from the committee on
| credentials. This statement brought
the delegates rapidly to their seats to
prepare for the struggle.
1t was expected the Roosevelt forces
would make their last big fight in the
convention today. They had expected
to make their stand on the credentials
committee report as whole. but were
prepared to meet the change of plans
and fight all the way through on the
| individual cases.
The galleries filled up slowly and
ten minutes after the scheduled time
for calling the convention to order
hundreds of chairs were vacant.
High above the noice from the
shuffling feet and shifting chairs
throughout the big auditorium rang
out a clear soprano in a coon song. A

Immense Gas Bills of Last Winter ARK
Explained

Erie, Kan, Aug. IA seemine
leak in the gas mains of the lo@al
Presbyterian church, it is said, has led
to the discovery that the basement
of the church has been used for al
most eighteen months by a gang of
poker players
The church basement is entered
from the outside and the door never
was locked. During the past Writer
the gas bills were enormous. 1t was
supposed that the gas main leaked,
but all efforts to locate a leak failed.
Recently one of the church trustees
in prying about in the basement dis
covered a deck of cards and a lot of
poker chips. Detective work followe d
and it was found that during the cold
months the basement of the church
had been used by a number of youths
as a gam bling room.
