VERY SHORT YESTERDAY

Chicago, H.. June 20-The repub-
lican national convention was in
session only five minutes today and
adjourned till tomorrow at Ill a. m.
awaiting the report OF the commit
tee on credentials, which planned to
remain in session all tonight.
The convention convened twice to-
day. The noon session lasted four
minutes, the second session at four
o'clock this afternoon lasted only
one minute
A feature of the noon session was
the prayer of the Rev Walter I.
Summers, dean of the Protestant
Episcopal Cathedral in Chicago,
who prayed that there be granted
TO the members Of the convention.
"self-restrain, sool judgment, and
all wisdom, that their deliberations
may insure to the nation civic right
eousness. industrial peace and social
justice. A general handclapping
followed the prayer.
This afternoon cheering broke out
the moment the gavel fell and lasted
almost as long as yesterday. The
immediate cause was the effort OF
one man in the gallery to swing the
gathering into unison with the cry,
I'VE want Teddy"
Almost Immediately the Taft,
Hadley, Cummins and La Toilette
adherents started an opposition tur-
moil and quickly there was simply
one meaningless chaos of noise.
A rainstorm held the crowd in
the building an hour and it yelled
itself tired.
Although the convention adjourn
ed as quickly as it convened, the Of
ficers remained in their positions
and a detail Of police was brough to
the stage This was because Of re-
ports that Roosevelt intended 10 ap-
pear and make a speech and that
the much discussed battle OF the fac
tions would be started.

spot.
Such plan might work out some
what like this:
II would be single tax community
the snow and ice to bear all the tax
and no assessment on the igloos.
Prohibition would prevail without
doubt, as Amundsen testihes that the
climate is singularly adapted To the
use OF tea, and he found intoXicants
useless, If not dangerous.
Equal suffrage TO be graciously adj
mitted. with heavy fines for ladies' who
attempt to smash ieloos.
The recall for all explorers who at
tempt To discover the pole.
Direct primaries, direct elections, di-
rect marriages, divorces and electrocu-
lions. Everything. In short, to he
done direct.
The Initiative mornings and the re-
ferendum afternoons
Finally, the whole to be an up to date
socialistic settlement, with comrades
on an equal footing on the ice and
elsewhere so far as possible.
Once a year the community would
send delegates TO the sordid outside
world, collect supplies and return to
enjoy the ideal life.

cold facts.-I3oston Globe.

Gently been enriched by the record Of
another daring robbery in which tax
icab figured prominently as a means
Of escape. Two men engaged n taxi

10 a certain building on West Twenty
sixth street, Although the driver con-
sidered IL rather unusual that two men
should wish 10 be taken To- that To-
cality In the middle of the night. he
did not suspect that crime was
planned. He was ordered To stop in
front of a big business house, the men
got out. entered the building and soon
returned with two big leather bags
apparently well filled The two men
took the bags with them in the taxicab
and ordered the chauffeur TO take them
to Williamsburg. threatening him with
Il pistol and urging him to the utmost
speed. Somewhere on Eastern Park
way the men ordered the chauffeur of
the taxi, who was clamoring for his
fare, To go about his business, they
drove away into the night with great
speed. The frightened taxi driver did
not even have n chance to note the
number of the other machine. Later
IL was found that the men had brok
en- into a furriers establishment on
West Twenty Street and had
robbed IT of furs valued at many thou
sand dollars. The taxi driver report
ed the case to the police, but so far
no trace of the robbers or of their
has been found.
