MANY DESIRE SEATS

Chicago July 25.-Announcement of the
selection of Albert j. Beveridge of In
diana as temporary chairman of the ma
tional progressive convention was the
chief development In political circles hers
today The announcement was made BY
Senator Dixon. director of Colonel Roose
velt's campaign for the progressive pres
identiaI nomination.
At the same time a letter from Mr.
Beveridge to William H. Dye of Indian
apolis was made public. This letter
marks his withdrawal from the repub
lican party, in which he has taken d
prominent part. The letter has beer
utilized by leaders in the third party
movement as bill of progressive prir,-
ciples
In his letter Mr. Beveridge finds fault
with both old parties and urges all pro-
gressives, irrespective of party, to rally
to the Roosevelt movement.
In this connection the letter states
THE present crisis requires that all
progressives of all parties shall act to-
gether through an organization of their
own with a plainly stated progressive
programme and at open war with the
evil partisan boss system Ultimately
and soon this will force all genuine re-
actionaries to act In the same way
through a separate organization or thelf
own with plainly stated reactionary
programme Thus all of us who as d
matter of conviction believe in progressive
principles. can act together and the boss
system will be unnecessary to either"
Discusses Sectionalism
Taking up the question of sectionalisni
In politics the letter says:
only a truly national non-sectional
party, which will permit Americans of
all sections who believe In the same
things to act and votc together will dis
solve this wicked and dangerous sec
tiona1ism and thus unite the nation IN
very truth. This great end alone Is worth
the utmost effort of every patriotic man
and woman in the whole republic"
Senator Dixon tonight said the COM
mittee IN charge of the convention ar
rangements had received more than 1000
applioaticrT from states other than IL
Iinois for seats. He said many OF the
delegations would be accompanied by
large numbers of progressives, who de-
sire to be present at the first convention
of the new party.
"Telegrams have been received from
progressive leaders in California, Idaho,
Colorado, Alabama, Tennessee, New York,
Minnesota. Virginia and Washington ask
ing that headquarters be established for
delegates and guests" said Senator Dixon.
According to tentative plans the pro-
yisional committee in charge of the con-
vention will make up the temporary roll
and hear contests.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, July 25.-Colonel
Roosevelt was told today of reports that
William j. Bryan would follow his trail
through the campaign.
"Bryan?" he asked. The coloners jaw
shot forward aggressivey, and his teeth
clicked. II don't see that there Is any,
thing for me to say at this time" he ex-
claimed.
1t was pointed out that Colonel Roose-
vet and Colonel Bryan have crossed
swords In two national campaigns, and
that the ex-President is thoroughly fa-
miliar with the characteristics of the Ne
braskan. while thus far he has had no OPP
portunity to become acquainted with the
fighting qualities of the democratic nomi-
nee of 1872 Colonel Roosevelt intends to
attack the democratic and republican or
ganizations with equal vigor in the hope
of placing his opponents on the defensive
at the outset.

UNDER WOOD SAYS
MEMBERS MUST WORK

Washington. July 25.-Leader
Underwood was emphatic In his
statement In the House TODAY
that he would block further
attempts of members to be ex-
cused because of private
business. Keeping quorum
in the House has become
difficult task. Notice has
been sent to all members
in their home districts looking
after private or political busi-
ness to come TO Washington and
TO work. Sickness Is the only ex-
cuse Mr.. Underwood will ac-
cept, he says.

Captures Six States

oyster Bay, July 25.--Six republican
states have adopted n plank, Colonel
Roosevelt said tonight for the bodily
capture of the republican organization
by the national progressive party. The
states he named are: Kansas, Mime
sofa, South Dakota. Idaho. California
and Washington.
In each of these states. according to
Roosevelt leaders who have talked with
the ex-President, the republican or
ganization is in control of the sup
porters of the new party to an extent
sufficient to enable them TO transfer
the organization virtually to Colonel
Roosevelt.
In each case it is the intention 10

candidates for Congress and state Of

In states in which the law requires
that the names OF Taft and SherAan n
be placed on the ballot as the repub-
lican nominees. the Roosevelt candt-
dates for electors Will go In sep
arate column. Where the law does not
exact this the Roosevelt candidates
probably will be placed under the reg
ular republican emblem on the theory
that Colonel Roosevelt is the legitimate
nominee of the party. This claim goes
back to the meeting in Chicago the
night the republican national conyen-
tion adjourned.
It was Colonel Roosevelt's expecta-
tion that no decision would be reported
as to the procedure in these states un-
til the general situation was discussed
at the Chicago convention OF the new
party 1t has been reported to him.

vanced more rapidly than was expected

Sheldon Tells of Fund

Washington, July 25.--Circumstances
of the Hartman contribution to the
Roosevelt campaign of 1904 were re-
lated to the Senate investigating COM
mittee today by George Il. Sheldon, who
was treasurer of the republican COM
mittee OF 1903 and unofficially asso-
ciated with Treasurer Bliss of the 1904
committee.

MARYLAND Men Meet

Baltimore. July 25.-The Maryland pro-
gressive republicans assembled here in
mass convention today and selected IL
delegates with half vote each and a
like number of alternates to the national
progressive convention al Chicago August
& Resolutions were adopted empower
ing committee of seven to select eight
presidential electors independent of those
name,i on the regular Taft ticket, and de-
claring that no elector now on the Taft
ticket shall be placed on the progressive
ticket unless he first resigns.
This latter clause is significant because
six electors on the republican ticket are
Roosevelt men.
Opposition 10 the proposal for independ-
ent electors came principally from western
Maryland delegates, the republican
stronghold of the state, who contended
that to cut loose entirely from the re-
publican party would weaken chances for
success OF local candidates. They were
outvoted, however.

Dinner for the Eminent German
Count Was Successful Until

The Jones girl had been abroad and
had come home cultivated. The Jones
family bore 1t with q resigned pride
until they learned that the eminent
Baron Hofsuneigener. recently ar.

and q nervous expression, Mr.. Jones

met Carl schurz and the boys solemn

As for the baron, he was all plump

oysters he made one remark. "Gut!"
said he. During the soup he made
one remark: "Gut!" said he. Dur.

Zach, Gut!" During the roast he
repeated himself: Zach. Gut!" But

4 great ape which makes its home
In Borneo is the gibbon. which Is
small animal compared with the orang,
weighing only about forty or City
pounds. II is very fraiI in its bodily
makeup. The head Is set squarely on
the shoulders. and it looks upward.
When walking on the ground it bal
ances itself along like a walker on a
tight rope. Its remarkable power OF
grasp and dexterity in using its hands
are equally with the shape Of its
Uranium indexes OF its superior intelli-
gence. perhaps because it is able to
take hold of a greater number OF
things and examine them. The glib
bons go in droves. whereas orangs live
by families. and one of the most inter-
esting spectacles imaginable is TO see
a troop of them crossing a great gap
in the forest by throwing themselves
in succession through the air, each one
taking a swing or two to gather mo-
mentum before launching himself. SO
great is their agility that IN executing
feats Of this sort they seem like birds.
