AUDITORIUM HALL. CHICAGO. June
s.--The Progressive National Conven-
tion met in two tumultuous sessions
to-day, and adjourned Tonight until
10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Che principal business of the day
was the approval of II plan to confer
on peacc plans with the Republican
convention.
Throughout tho day the leaders
kept control over the delegates, more
by persuasion and by constant reitera-
,ion of Chairman Robins's promise
that the majority would decide any
questions that arose. than by any actual
hold they had upon the delegates
The same determination to nominate
Theodore Roosevelt was evident from
the time the first man trooped in.

went out. shortly before Q o'clock to-
night.
Leaders made no effort to conceal
their belief that failure OF the con-

some possible basis for an agreement
could result in but one thing-the i'm

Gil. in special session. last night re-
moved all obstacles for the early open

the agreement practically reached with
the Richmond. Fredercksbure and po-
tomac Railroad for the opening OF II
Street, from Broad Street to Park Ave-
nue.. there remains nothing To block
the long g-sought Improvement.
Councilman SeatoM. in moving that
the papers in the Forbes matter be
taken from the table, explained that
the agreement with Mr.. Forbes had
been reached by the Finance Commit
tee after two conferences. and that
he felt positive that the Council could
do no harm in taking up the project,
at this time. as all details had been
practically completed.
THE final detail In the general plan"
said Mr.. Seaton, will he completed in
the next few days and that is for the
opening OF S Street. from Broad Street
TO Monument Avenue. Representatives
of the Richmond. Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad Company held con-
ference this afternoon with City At
torncy Pollard in his office and il was
stated that President William H. White
would recommend 10 the roads board
of directors the dedication of the neces-
sary land that r Street might be open

should open this street. for which he
had agreed to give a strip through his
property. Il Street will extend parallel
with the Belt Line tracks, just east cf
the railroad and west OF the Roscneath
Road There Is In my mind no ques-
tion but what the board of directors OF
the railroad will act favorabfy on the
recommendations made to it by Presi-
dent White.
Under the agreement with Mr..
Forbes the city acquires 1,462 feet for
the opening of Monument Avenue at a
uniform width OF l40 feet. the same
width as the street 10 the east. about
900 feet on Franklin Street and Rose

He also gives the city the required
land for the opening of e Street, be-

between Monument and Grove. and b
Street, between Grace Street and the
north line of his property. C Street,
from Monument Avenue to Morris Road,
is also to be opened. as is an alley
west Of C. Street.
The property on the Roseneath Road
was valued AT $4,000, but Mr.. Forbes
agreed to sell 1t TO the city for SEQ, 900.
On Monument Avenue he has already
expended $4,000 in improvements, max
