Cruelty TO Parents.

That whimsical philosopher James
Douglas, in London Opinion, writes of
the crying need of a new society, urg-
ing that 1t is high time to do away
with the society for the prevention of
cruelty to children and substitute
therefor one for the prevention
of cruelty to parents. He remarks
that donations and subscriptions for
such a benefcent organization would
pour in from those who know by sad
experience how sorrowful is the lot of
the father who finds himself abandon
ed to the ferocity of his children. TOO
long" he writes, has the cry of the
parents fallen upon deaf ears. Do you
hear the parents crying, o my broth
ers? The young lambs are playing in
the meadows, but the old people are
weeping bitterly. Many q fat city
merchant conceals behind his waist
coat heart that is lacerated by the
savagery of his children. Many an
alderman dilutes his turtle soup with
tears of anguish as he thinks of the
torments his children are preparing
for him in the dark precincts of his
suburban home"

ROGERS IS FINED
$50 FOR CONTEMPT
barrow Trial Again Halted by
Action of Counsel.
GETS HABEAS CORPUS WRIT
Attorney Declares He Will Not Pay
and Judge Fixes Jail Sentence
as Observation-Disclosures
Closes Its Case.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. S.-The
bribery trial of Clarence S. DarroW
came to an abrupt and sensational
halt an hour before the usual adjourn
ment time on Tuesday when Judge
Fulton committed Darrow's chief
counsel, Earl Rogers, to Jail until this
morning at 9 o'clock for contempt OF
court in lieu of paying fine of $50
Rogers Immediately applied to Pre-
siding Judge Willis of the superior
court for his release on a writ OF
habeas corpus, which was granted,
Rogers being required to give $500
bail.
Rogers offense was in designating
q state rebuttaI witness as perjurer,
and upon his refusal to withdraw the
| appelIation a fine of $50 was imposed
on him. Rogers, still defiant and re-
iterating his rights, declared that he
would go tc jail rather than pay the
| fine, and the court appended on the
previous judgment an alternative SEN
tence OF five days in jail. Upon show
! ing by the defense that the defendant
could not be deprived of counsel dur
, ing the course of his trial the sentence
was modified.
o. H. F. Mayer, produced by the
prosecution as the mysterious stran-
ger" who accompanied Bert H. Frank
| lin to the office of the McNamaras' de-
| tense on the morning of Franklin S
arrest, was being crossexamined by
Rogers when the outbreak occurred.
| Rogers subjected the witness to a
bitter cross-examination that was full
of scorn and raillery, laughing in the
face of the witness and staring at
him through his lorgnette.
District Attorney Fredericks object
ed to question as a waste of time.
mo, we are showing up this per-
jurer," declared Rogers.
Judge Hutton halted proceedings
ard tried to get Rogers to withdraw
the remark, but Rogers insisted that
he believed the witness was a per-
jurer and that he was justified in call
ing him that to his face.
''In argument" said the court, ''but
not while the witness is on the stand.
The court cannot permit that"
After speaking of the seriousness of
counsels offense, Judge Hutton an
nounced that Rogers was adjudged
guilty of contempt and was fined $50.
What is the alternative?" demand
ed Rogers. 81 will not pay the fine"
The court said the alternative would
be five days in the county jail. That
order was later modified and Rogers
remained in the custody of a deputy
sheriff only until the writ of habeas
corpus was secured.
The defense closed its case, but has
reserved the right to call an additional
witness or two. The prosecution
opened up it's rebuttal, reserving the
right of further cross-examination of
Lincoln Steffens, who was a witness
for the defense

CoIIapsibIe Army Cart.

A collapsible military cart has been
invented by an officer of the army
service corps in London. The cart
will be tested during the grand
manoeuvres of the army next Septem.
Der. The cart is built entirely of tn.
buIar steel and canvas, and is extreme
ly light to haul, though it will carry
UP to a ton dead-weght. Several OF
these can be carried in motor lorry
Of the type now in use in the army,
and would be instantly available for
use in any desired direction. 1t is
claimed by the inventor that no coun'
try is too rough for the cart. and that
# is practically indestructible.
1t costs very little to build these
carts. since all the parts are inter
changeable; a temporary breakdown
would not be a very serious matter
since spare parts could easily be car
Tied on the motor wagons.

President:
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Vice-President:
HIRAM w. JOHNSON.

Chicago, Aug. 8.-After one of the
widest demonstrations ever given to
a candidate for the highest political
honor in the gift of the people, Theo-
dore Roosevelt was chosen by accla-
nation as the standard bearer of the
new Progressive party. Gov. Hiram
w. Johnson of California was unan1-
mously accorded second place on the
ticket, with an enthusiasm second
only to that given to the head of the
ticket
The scenes attending the nomina-
ton of the first candidates to repre-
sent the new party in its battle for
the votes of the people we're unpre-
cedented in the political history of the
country. The fact that there was no
contest, that it was as near fore
gone conclusion what the result Of the
convention would be as anything rea-
sonably can be, served in no way to
dim the ardor of the delegates. Their
enthusiasm was unbounded and their
capacity for noisemaking was only
limited by their phwiscal endurance.
Both Candidates Accept.
AS soon as the nominations were
made Chairman Beveridge dispatched
committees to notify the candidates
and escort them to the hall. Their
appearance was the signal for another
outburst of noise.
Accept" said Colonel Roosevelt,
"of course, I accept the nomination of
the Progressive party.
The colonel made very brief speech
thanking the delegates for their con-
fidence and promising to make the
best fight he knew how
Governor Johnson followed in brief
speech of acceptance
When the convention met at noon
yesterday the committee on resolu-
tions was not ready to report. 1t was
decided to go on with the nominating
speeches and take up the platform be-
fore the nomination was made.
The platform was adopted unani-
mously and without discussion.
The Progressive party" was the
party.
PrcndeTqaSt starts It.
The demonstration started after Viii
liam A Prendergast of New York had
concluded his speech nominating
Roosevelt. A wild cheer greeted it's
conclusion and was taken up all over
the big hall. The noise was deafening
for As minutes, and when it was
quelled by Chairman Beverage, Judge
Ben B. Lindsey began the first of the
seconding speeches.
His speech, too evoked a demon
stration, as did the others all the way
down the line.
Jane Adams of Hull house, fol-
lowed him. and she was given an ova-
ton such as never before has been
given to a woman.
Other seconding speeches were
made by A T. Hamilton, Georgia: Ho-
ratio King. New York; Col. r. P.
Lloyd of Florida, a Confederate vet
eran, who lost an arm in the Civil
war; John NJ. Mcdowell and Lucius
F. c. Garvin.
After the nomination by acclama-
ton, the vice-presidency was taken up
and Governor Johnson was unanimous
ly placed in nomination by John NJ.

speeches were made by several dele
gates.
