convention would be judged by its
initial act and expressed opposition
TO the plan of the committee.
DR. Haseall first mentioned the
steam roller, supporting Colonel
Reeves and Attorney Moore He said
he didn't want to go out and admit
that there was steam-rolling in the
convention"
Hascall said he had quit the Re-
publican party for her dishonest
steam-rolling propositions in Chi
cago.
The motion on the adoption of the
committees report was put by the
chairman. A viva yoee vote was taken
and the chair, said, THE ayes
have it,"
The report of the committee on
permanent organization and order of
business recommended that the tenn
porary organization be made per-
manent and went on to state who
should be the recipients of the vari-
Gus offices. naming P. L. Flanagan
for national committeeman, and
Sardis Summerfield for state chair
man.
Colonel Reeves moved to strike
out all reference to names for offices
in the gift of the convention. The
motion was carried, constituting the
only concession made to Colonel
Reeves in the day.
The temporary officers we're then
made permanent and the platform
was read by Senator Summerfield
who was chairman of hat COM
mittee.
The platform was received with
applause at the end of nearly every
paragraph. 1t was adopted after an
effort to demand specifically the re-
call of the judiciary in states, had
failed.
Bishop Robinson was asked to
speak and stated that he was not a
politician and never could be but was
willing to work in the ranks. He
was in favor of the progressive party
but his calling would prevent him
from actively entering into political
work.
On the electors Washoe county
voted in an unique way by stating
/ that they would cast 22 votes for
those who had the most votes.
Up to this time Washo had been
voting 22 votes in spite of having
only 10 men present. Several had
since left the hall and a call was de-
manded for an individual roll of the
| Washoe men. 1t resulted in cutting
down Washoe's vote to about 8.
The result of the vote on electors
was not announced further than that
E. v Hatch of Goldfield, J. G. Nc
Carthy of Carson, and J. B. Kaufman
of Lyon county were elected.
On the call for the election of a
state chairman DR.. Hascall of Fallon
named Colonel Reeves in the inter-
est of harmony.
Colonel Reeves made a speech.
He said he supported roosevelt when
few men did in Nevada but he could
not tolerate the discrimination
shown by the convention. He refus-
ed to vote because the convention
was packed and he refused to serve
as state chairman.
George Springmyer then named
H. B. Linde and Senator Summer
field said that he was of the opinion
that the ''intemperate withdraw of
Colonel Reeves will not constitute an
irreparable injury to the progressive
party"
Reeves said he did not complain
for himself but for Nina and against
the discrimination of giving large
representation to small counties.
Senator p. l.. Flanagan was nomi-
mated national committeeman with
out opposition.
The state central committee was
then named, Colonel Reeves refusing
to vote.

TRUTH AS THRILLING AS FICTION IN THE ESCAPE OF
"A FRENCH OFFICER FROM GERMAN PRISON

convicted as spy and sentenced
to a six-year term in the German
fortress of Glatz.
In Paris were staunch and true
friends of the imprisoned officer,
headed by DR.: GREELEY. They
wrote interesting, unsuspicious
letters to Lux. These were read
by the prison warden first and
then sent. to the. cell.
Words written with invisible
ink came to light as the captain
held the paper near the bars of
white tilted stove in his room.
Just a few words ii, each letter,
planning for his escape; Lux an
swered them by writing a word
or two on the gummed flap of the
envelope.
The citadel of Glatz overlooks
the little German town of that
name. The prison cells are high
up inside the fortress. A wall
surrounds the citadel; beyond
that is a deep moat; just one road
leads away, and that is guarded
night and day. Hitherto no pris-
oner has ever escaped from Glatz.
Two hours in the morning and
two in the afternoon saw Lux in
company of a guard pace the ram
parts for fresh air; the rest of the
time'he spent behind double locks.
Papers and books. strictly CEN
sored, were brought into his cell,
the gifts of Paris friends. Lux
noticed that the strings binding

PREPS BEAT BUSINESS.
Georgetown Boys Easily 0utclass and
Swamp Stenographers, II to O.

Georgetown College prep base ball team
defeated Business High School yesterday
afternoon on the hilltop. II to 0, in
game which was featured by the hitting
and base running of the Blue and Gray
embryo collegians. The game was a very
one-sided affair, as the stenographers
proved to be no match for the hilltop
Youngsters, as the latter pilet up seven
teen runs, while their opponents were I'M
able to cross the plate once. The props
outhit and outplayed their opponents
in every department of the game. Yester-
days game is the first contest that the
Georgetown youngsters have been in so
far this season, and judging from the
decisive victory that they obtained they
should be a very formidable obstacle In
the way of the local high schools that are
aspiring to the scholastic cha--plohshlp OF
the District.
1t would be a very difficult matter to
pick out stars from yesterday game, as
the teams were so uneVenly matched that
a good line could not be obtained on the
ability of the hilltop youngsters.

VIRGINIA AWARDS LETTERS.
Gives Insignia to But Five Basket
Ball Players.
Special Disnatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHARLOTTESVILLE Va, March so.
As a close to the basket ball season
the General Athletic Association an
nounced those who Won the insignia.
The "B. V B. was awarded to E
Rixey, w. w. Rixey, F. w. Kearns
(captain), c. J. Churchman and w. n.
Neff
The limited number granted is quite
an innovation i'm this sport, but is a
thoroughly practical move. Last year
ten were awarded to five for the past
season. 1t was likewise made known
that those in control are considering
the awarding "V." instead of a :.B. V.
B." This will be determined within
a few days.
The season past was not the most
successful by any means. George
town won two out of three and Wash
ington and Lee broke even. Big Rixey,
the star forward, and base ball pitcher
will be among the missing next year,
as will also eX-Capt. Kearns and Neff.
Though there has been no meeting. II is
reasonably certain that Churchman
will lead the team next year. An en-
tire team almost will have to be
formed but there was always good
scrub team the past season.
