DELAY ON PLATFORM.

CHICAGO, Aug. THE working
plans of the national Progressive con-
vention were given an unexpected up
set today when an eleventh hour hitch
occurred over the platform. IL had
been completed and turned over to
Col. Roosevelt for his approval. but
the Colonel suggested the further re-
vision of certain sections in order TO
mako ii more satisfactory.
The resolutions committee then
asked the convention officers for more
time and notified them that 1t proba-
bly, would require until $50 O'Clock TO
complete the report At 1880 O'Clock
Chairman Beveridge called the con-
vention to order to go ahead with what
might be accomplished. Although the
attendance was somewhat curtailed
because OF drizzling rain throughout
the forenoon, the spirit of enthusiasm
appeared to be as strong as ever.
Just before the chairman stepped to
the front OF the platform a trombone
quartette played Onward Christian
Soldiers" and the delegates sang IL

Rabbi Levi pronounced the invoca-
tion. After the prayer the trombones
were brought into requisition again
and struck up The Battle Hymn OF

overhead reverberated with the i'm

Rules Report Heard.
After the singing ceased the report
of the committee on permanent organ-

omitted yesterday on account OF the
great confusion and IL recommended
that the temporary officers be made
permanent. IL was unanimously
adopted.
Medill Mccormick was greeted with

,PROGRESSIVES TO
PUT OUT TICKETS
(National News Association,

CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-Straight inde-
pendent tickets will be placed in the
field in Pennsylvania and Colorado by
the national Progressive party. Col.
Roosevelt made this announcement
after a conference with delegates from
both states. The fight in Pennsylvania
will be carried on through the Wash
1ngton party" and in Colorado through
the National Progressive party.
The adoption of different name in
Pennsylvania was necessitated by the
fact that opponents of Col. Roosevelt
in that state stole a march on his sup
porters and pre-empted under the law
the name National Progressive as well
as similar titles.
VIM. Finn OF Pittsburgh was at the
head Of committee from the Penna
delegation which conferred with Col

United States he comes very close to

of him ever becoming a pauper.
Adams, one of the most prominent
financial writer's in Wall Street, places
Mr. Reid in a list of financiers whose
fortunes range from $50,OO0,000 to
$3.50, 100000.
Adams in his article on great Ameri-

Private fortunes in America show

National News ASSoclat1on)
NEW YORK, Aug. 7-With Detec.
tive William J. Burns and his corps
of sleuths working to substantiate the
charges in the 10000 word alleged ex-
pose of Lieut.. Charles A. Becker's COM
plicity in the murder of Herman Ros-
enthal and general graft alliance with
the underworld, preparations were
made today to arraign the accused
lieutenant for the third time on the
charge of procuring the murder of the
gambler.
Former Assistant District Attorney
John F. Mcintyre, perhaps the most
experienced criminal lawyer in New
York, today entered into the case as
counsel for Becker and after an early
conference with the latter in the
Tombs started his machinery in mo-
ton in an endeavor to riddle Roses
charges. -a,ze---srr- -.~->-.-s.--.--
Police officials and gamblers were
startled today by report that Detec-
tive William J. Burns had been in
vestigating graft conditions in New
York for three months. 1t was stated
that Burns opened a gambling house
here with the intention of trapping a
high politician who was suspected Of
sharing in the tribute levied upon the
underworld. Burns who arrived in this
city yesterday from Baltimore denied
the story as also did District Attorney
Whitman.
Mr.. Whitman said Burns had been
working in the Rosenthal case under
his guidance and that he had full
knowledge of Burns movements.
These positively did not include the
operation of a gambling house." the
district attorney declared.
Rose handed his confession to Mr.
Whitman last night just as the latter
was leaving the West Side court pris-
on where Rose is confined. 1t is writ
ten in ink and covers 3S pages of fools
cap paper. Parts of it are at variance
with the earlier statements made by
the gambler but Rose declares that
the statements made earlier by him
were inaccurate. Rose tells in detail
of the method he alleges Becker adopt
ed in getting evidence against gamb-
ling houses, the keepers Of which had
refused to pay protection money to
his agents. He tells how these recall
citrants were brought to terms speedi-
ly and of the amount of money he col
lected monthly.
More important than anything else
he furnished to District Attorney Whit
man the names and addresses of
twelve gambling house proprietors
from whom he alleges he collected
sums ranging from $500 to $4,000 a
month. all of which he says he turn
ed over to Becker.
These exchanges of money, Rose al
leges, were made in his home at West
10th street in the presence of his wife
and frequently in the presence of serv-
ants. The names of several of the
servants are included in Roses state
ment.
But Roses statement is not confin-
ed exclusively to his relations with
Becker as the latter's alleged collec-
tor. The final six pages of the con-
fession are devoted to a detailed &C
| count of his movements on the night
that Herman Rosenthal was shot to
f, 0f
He tells how he was in constant
communication with Becker while at
Harry Pollock's house. Most of these
communications he says, were over
the telephone. Others were through
Sam Scepps.

Protecting Foods From Dust.
New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
The movement begun by the women of
Washington, d. c., to obtain the de-
livery of bread properly wrapped SO as
to be protected from dirt and dust is
eminently in accordance with modern
sanitary principles. The danger of in
fictitious disease lies particularly in such
foods as are eaten in the household with
out further cooking. Dust constitutes
one Of the most frequent conveyers of
infection. The, movement should. how
ever, apply to many other fOodstuffs be-
sides bread. Fruit and vegetables are
constantly exposed to dust during the
process OF sale in large cities. Such fruits
as are necessarily peeled before being
eaten are, not dangerous under these cir
cumstances. The banana and orange, for
instance. are thoroughly protected by
their skin. Apples and pears and other
fruits that are commonly eaten without
removing the peel are always danger
Gus if they have been exposed to street
dust 1t would not be difficult matter to
enforce protection from dust for such
food materials. To some extent at least
health department regulations in large
cities already do SO. Now that the dusty
season is upon us is the time to call at
tention to the need for reform.

The development of these associations
and their increase in membership are
worthy of remark. They are defensible
on many grounds. Sentimentally, they
preserve the memory of ancestors, many
of whom made sacrifices for what they
believed was right and for causes which
have operated for the betterment of the
human race. They foster a good deal

thing. Without sentiment there would
be no patriotism and no chivalry. The
world would have had no poetry or

Views of Washington.

ChToniclers have written that when
president Washington. mounted. rode To
the site OF the Montrose Park tract and
looked out over the Potomac. the valley
of Rock Creek. the busy city Of George
town and the woods and fields later to be
covered by the city OF Washington, he ex-
claimed. What a prospect. This incl
dent suggests that Washington might
have suffered the same exclamation al IA
hundred other outlooks in what We're
destined to become the environs of the
capital This thought probably came TO
Wa 'ington as he rode over the hill ON
THE Carroll farm where the Capitol was
10 be built. and ii must have come to
many spectators when the corner stone
was laid. in 1898.
The hills that rise above Washington
present some of the most extensive views
in the east. How many pilgrims standing
in front of the mansion at Arlington have
felt the grandeur of the prospect. Yet
sthere points on the Virginia hills
whence broad and impressive an out
look may be had. A trifle over half a mile
south of the mansion, on a promontory
somewhat above the 20o-foot contour, a
part of Arlington fast filling with new
graves, is a point OF view from which the
