Former Trial Proved Failure.

Several years ago when Leslie NJ.
Shaw was Secretary of the Treasury an
attempt was made to pay the employees
Of the Treasury and the Department Of
Commerce and Labor by check. But
the method of payment proved so cup-
bersome ii was abandoned after about
six weeks trial.
At the Department of the Interior 1t
was said that in addition to making a
great deal of labor for the department.
10 paw in check would work a great in
convenience to many of the clerks. who
would be forced TO take time to go to the
Treasury Department or to the banks TO
have their checks cashed. incidentally,
il was said that such a plan would not
make a hit with the banks In Washing
ton. which probably would be called upon
to cash thousands OF these checks every
two weeks.
In defense of the pan to pay by check.
lit was said at the Department or Justice
that the interstate commerce commission.
with some GOO employees. had adopted
the check payment and had found the
plan successful. Employees of the Dis
tric, government also are paid by cheek.
The economy and efficiency commission
of the government declared that payment
by check of the government employees
had not been suggested by 1t.

CHECKS INSTEAD OF CASH
FOR JUSTICE EMPLOYEES
None of the Other Depart
ments Plans Change in Pay
ing Employees, However.

The employees of the Department of JUS
tice will receive their pay by check
against Uncle Sans treasury instead OF
in cash after December 81. An order to
this effect has been issued by the Attor-
ney General.
None of the other executive depart
ments contemplate making any sucn
change in the method of paying employees
at this time.
AT the Department of Justice it was
said today that the change had been made
for administrative purposes only; that
it was believed the scheme of paying by
check would work better for the depart
ment. No money loss whatever has Oc-
CURED in the department. however,
through the cash payments, it was said.
AS the department has to pay off only
about 90 to 300 employees in this city,
the work of making out checks for them
could be done expeditiously. it was said.
Inquiry at all of the other departments
today ELECTED the information that no
plan was on foot to make payment by
check general throughout the executive
departments in this city. 1t was pointed
out that in departments like the Treas
ury and Interior where there are be-
tween three and four thousand employees
to be paid, it would require ire
mendous amount of labor to prepare the
checks. and that the preparation of
checks would cause one or two days
delay in payment of the clerks.

 Roosevelt will go to the convention again tomorrow after the nominations have been made, and in a brief speech accept the honor This simple cere- mOny probably will do away with the necessity of a formal notification cer- emony
 There seemed to be no change to- night in the plan to nominate Governor Johnson Of California as the coloneTs running mate. The vice presidential boom of Judge Ben Lindsey, of Colo rado. gained some headway during the day but 1t was practically abandoned tonight No southern democrat aligned with the new party seemed to stan'l out sufficiently in the minds of the leaders to offset the insistent demand among the leaders for Johnson.
 T am glad" said Roosevelt tonight that I nad an opportunity in the con Vention t. express my views on the negro question. I was delighted with the Interruption for it gave me the chance wanted. 1 think the question is dispOse1 of I am deeply impressed with my reception by the delegates. By George, it was fine

THE PLATFORM.
Entire Resolutions Committee at Work
 on 1t Last Night.

CHICAGO, Aug 6-The committee on resolutions of the national pro- gressive rarty went into session late tonight 10 complete the draft of the platform to be adopted by the cOnven- tion tomorrow. subcommittee had worked nil day. hewing out the various blanks to meet the wishes of Roosevelt. The committee it is said, has worked hard to make the declaration of prin- ciples a model of brevity. There are so manY subjects to be dealt with. covered that the task was found mOsT difficult
 When the full committee met it seemed likely that the negro question would uob up again. Hugh T. Hal bert of Minnesota carried with him to the meeting a plank on the subject which read "the national progressive party recognizes that the distinctions of class. race and sex in political life, have no place in a democracy spec tally does the party realize that a group of ten million people who have in a generation changed from slavery to free labor system, reestablished family life. accumulated a billion dol lars of real property and reduced their ilIiteracy from eighty to thirty per cent, deserve and must have justice government"
 This plank is said to be largely the views of Miss Jane Addams

 MAKES TABLE
Long Written Statement in Which He Gives in Detail Story of His Employment as Collector of Graft for Becker

NEW YORK. Aug. 6.-"Bald Jack" Rose, the gambler upon whose testi- mony was chiefly based the indict- ment of Police Lieutenant Becker on the charge of instigating the murder of Herman ROsenthal, furnished the district attorney today with writ ten statement disclosing in detail the history of his relations with Becker as one of the police officers alleged graft collectors.

 These collections according to the ''confession" averaged from $12,OO0 to S15.OOO a month and came from a dozen or more gambling houses. The names of ten Rose gave the district attorney.
 Roses statement contains several thousand words. The gambler has been working on it in his cell ever since the promise of leniency by the district attorney got him week ago to make his first confession. Rose said he always turned his collections over to Becker in cash, frequently at Roses home, and that his wife and servants had seen the money pass and could testify to the truth of his statement.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The trouble some southern negro question which for a time threatened dissension in the first session of the convention of the progressive party, was finally disposed of today when the conven- tiOn without dissenting voice and without discussion, adopted the re- port of the credentials committee un- seating both the white and the negro delegates of Florida. and throwing out the negro delegates of Mis- sissippi.
