HOBOES WARNED
To LEAVE
CITY
Eight Suspects Pulled in Drag Net,
Worst Nuisance in Years
Citizens Up in Arms.-0ther
Socialistic Schemes Fail.

With the arrest this morning of
eight hoboes on suspicion of some
connection with the various crimes
that have been committed here dur
ing the last few days, a campaign
was started by the police to get rid
of this element that is becoming so
undesirable that the citizens are mp
in arms over the fact that nothing
has been done to get rid of the men
during the last few weeks. Some
200 unemployed men are in the city
and residents claim that they are
asked for assistance by these float
ers" many times a day.
Chief of Police Hutchinson ad-
mits that the men must be sent away
because there is nothing for them
here. The various schemes devised
by the police have not produced the
results. The men promised him that
no criminal acts would be started
but they evidently went back on
their word. The practice of feeding
a large multitude of men for an
hours work has brought many here
and the taxpayers have demanded
that something be done in the mat
ter.

Chicago, Aug 6.-The delegates to
the national progressive convention
were slow again today in reaching
their seats in the Coliseum. At 10
minutes to l2 there We're no more
than 200 delegates on the floor
At 2 the delegates began to pour
into the hall from all sides. Four or
more bands came with them, and the
air was rent by the conflicting tunes.
The women delegates again We're

sisters in the suffragist movement
gathered outside the Coliseum dis
tui5uting tracts and embIems of the
suffrage cause.
Chairman Beveridge reached tine
stage shortly after 10 O'Clock. Ten
minutes later the delegate sections
were completely filled.
The party representatives filled in
the period of waiting with songs and
party yells Occasionally there came
n long Moo of a bull moose.
The Colorado delegation appeared
with a banner inscribed Colorado is

The women delegates in the vari-
GUS state organizations stood up in
chairs with the men and joined in
the cheers and songs that kept things
in an uproar till the gavel fell.
Suddenly the Colorado folks sprung

nall. 1t read: mo more Guggen

At 1895 pm. Chairman Beveridge
interrupted the singing by rapping
for order.
Rev. Father Andrew spetz offered
prayer.
The galleries near the stage were
crowded, but at the further end of
the hall were many vacant seats.
Chairman Beveridge read a tele-
gram from Col. William X. Nelson of
the Kansas City Star, in which he
said: "Give Colonel Roosevelt my
love. | have never missed a chance
TO place bet on him. and have never
lost when there was a square deal. >"

There is a general disgust at the

nor of the intention of the coun-
ell to bring the matter to a pop
