Chicago. Aug. 6.-Theodore Roose-
velt made his confession of faith" to-
day to the national progressive con-
vention. The former president struck
out boldly into new ground. advocat-
ing measures which he said frankly
would be denounced as either social
ism or anarchy. The delegates lis
tened to his speech with the under
standing that they must either adept
a platform substantially in conso-
nance with his views or look else
where for a nominee for the presi-
dency. These are the conspicuous
points in the Roosevelt program
Recall of Judicial decisions, as first
advocated by Colonel Roosevelt in
the spring campaign, and for which
he was subjected to wide criticism.
Colonel Roosevelt now advocates its
extension to apply to federal as well
as state courts. He faVors the es-
tablishment Of machinery to make
easier Of amendment both the nation
al and state constitutions and espe,
cialIy with the view Of prompt action
on certain judicial decisions.
Use Of the government to assist
workmen to become part owners Of
the business in which they are EN-
ployed.
The government system should be
shaped so that the public servant
when he cannot conscientiously carry
out the wishes Of the people, shall at
their desire leave his office and not
misrepresent them in office.
Control Of the trusts through reten-
tion Of the Sherman antitrust law
and establishment Of an Interstate
Industrial commission to regulate in
dustrial corporations as the inter
state commerce commission regulates
railroads. Conditions determining
monopoly prices to be controlled

necessaries Of life
Adoption Of number Of measures

Chicago, Aug. 6.-The second day Of
the progressive national convention
opened with the well defined fight
over the negro question vieing fol
first interest with Colonel Theodore
RooseveIt's delivery of his 'confes
sion of faith" to his followers in the
progressive cause. Some Of the dele
gates declared that the elimination
of the southern negro from partici
patton in the formation of the new
party had become the paramount is
sue Of the convention. Eastern ne
groes joined with their brothers from
the south in denhnciation Of certain
things that occurred at an all night
meeting of the credentials committee
when the last Of the southern negro
delegates was barred from the floor
of the convention in q close vote The
vote stood II to 16 against the ne.
groes, those from Mississippi, and Inn
mediately jules 7. Mitchell oil
Rhode Island and other eastern ne
groes joined in crying that the decid
ing ballot had been cast by a anes-
tionable proxy on the committee.
Fairly sputtering indignation, the ne.
groes announced they would carry the
matter to Colonel Roosevelt for per-
sonal ruling of the point.
The vote on the Mississippi case
came in a secret session of the COM
mittee at o'clock this morning a
few hours after both white and negro
delegates from Florida had been bar
red.
The negroes we're Indignant
throughout the session Of the com
mitee, which began at o'clock last
night and continued till nearly day
break. The Mississippi contest was
the last to be taken up and it was
begun shortly after midnight. Half a
dozen OF the negroes told the com
mittee that to seat the white dele
gates headed by Provisional National
Committeeman B. F. Fridge, was
equivalent to disfranchising the ne
gro.
The Fridge delegation was elected
at a convention, the call to which was
addressed to white" citizens Of Mis-
sissippi The negroes were not all
lowed to take part. Several Of the
negroes with the ousted delegates were
among the delegates to the republi-
can national convention who stood by
Colonel Roosevelt and deserted the
republican convention in Chicago to
attend the first progressive conven-
lion when plans we're made for the
third party.

ALLEN AND EDWARDS
 HAVE BEEN SEPARATED
Last of the Clan Have to Part Com pany to Eyade Officers Of
 the Law

Hillsville, Va., April "A story of the first fight of Sidna Allen and Wes- ley Edwards was brought in from the mountains this evening.
 Alexander Diyins, who has a farm between Fancy Gap and Warden Gap, was aroused at 1 O 'clcck yesterday morning by hearing a man moving about near his corn crib. In a few minute there wa3 a sound of another man apFroaching. The two men talk ed for a brief time in all undertone.
 Tom Strickland another farmer whose place is between the itwo gaps and who knows Sidney Allen by sight, the edge of the woods. He was carry ino a rifle Strickland watched him until he passed out of sight, but did not hail him. A detective scout ar rived there only a sholt time after wards.
 lt is believed that Allen and Ed wards had been separated possibly from the time when they were driven out of Buzzard's Roost and that Allen when seen was on his way to join Wesley Edwards.
 Lafayette Ayres, known to be a moorshiner was the one who eneoun- tered the desperado. Ayres said to- day:
 q was crossing the mountain along a dark path when l saw man coming towards me-" He throWed his lille on me and said, Put up your hands, I did and then he said, I am going to kill you get ready to die I said I amt done no harm to you. He sad you know who l am don't ycu. i told him, I think you are SidEey AL len but I never said a word agin you, Allen and I aint going to begin now Don't kill me.
 He had his rifle raised to h.s shoulder all this time and his finger cn the trigger. I thought any minute that he would pull the trigger but af- ter a long time he let his gun drop by his side and said All right, give ne what weapors you got and so on about your business. I didn't have any weapons so he let me go OF

SCRUBS" WARMED
 UP FIRST TEAM
Picked Team of High School Almost Beaten By The Cast-0ff
 Candidates.

An interesting game was played at Ninth avenue and Oak street yesEer- day afternoon between two teams or the High School baseball squad. The same was undecided as the score was not kept as it was not thought tha' it would be so close. The Scrubs" claim the victory over Coach Bassett's Pets, as the first team $ termed by the other players. The Pets claim the game was tie bv the score of 6 70 6. The ee- suit of the score was of little signif~ icance, but it is pleasing on the oNc hand to note that there are over IS boys who are fairly good baseball nlavers in the H gh School, while on ;he other hand it is disconcerting to note that Coach Bassetts picked .y.am which he has been coaching q ligently for the past three weeks could not easily beat team or scrubs. It could not be, however that the coaching is at fault fer all the men showed their training t3 good advantage. The result is m doubt in the selection of the men for the first team.
 The Pets lined up yesterday at- ternoon as follows: Hamln, c; Sor rells and Mcintyre, D; Coach BasseH' 1b. Matthews, 2b; M. Few, ss; R. Few. 3b; M.
