CnlSAIO, June S.-- w ltIl d iSSN ord attendance of spectators on hand to watch the proceedings, the Sev- enteenth Republican national con vention began it's deliberations in this city yesterday morning. Chair man Will Hays of the Republican national committee called the con vention to order at :32, and at the conclusion of long opening prayer by Bishop Charles Woodcock of Louisville, the audience broke Into "The Star-Spangled Banner"
 Then followed the election of Sen ator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa chusetts as temporary chairman of the convention, and upon taking his place on the rostrum, the senator delivered the keynote address of the convention preliminaries. "The coun- try must drive Wilson and his dy nasty from power, and defeat the League of Nations," he said, and followed with a defense of the sen ate's opposition to the peace treaty. "We make the issue" he continued, land we ask appreciation of what we have done. The people will now tell us what they think of Wilson's league and the sacrifice of America"
 The senator stated further that the time had come to take firm hand in Mexico and end the dis graceful record of the last seven years. The primary duty, he said, is for the United States to deal with Mexico under the Monroe Doc Urine, "yet we are asked to take a mandate over Armenia" The speak CT denounced the administration for its failure to deal with profiteers, and he condemned Government own ership of railroads.
 Women Aye There.
 When the convention opened yes terday, the front rows of seats in the Coliseum were occupied by dele gates from California, North Da- kota, Arkansas, Connecticut, Color ado, and Virginia. The delegations included a few of the oldtimers, among them being Chauncey Depew.
 The women delegates were among the first to reach the convention hall, while thousands of people crowded about the building before the session opened. Scalpers were there in force and demanded fabulous prices for tickets, but found comparative ly few takers.
 The confusion, fuss and muddle of the opening hour were aggravat- ed by blistering heat, and through out the brief session, which lasted only two hours, there continued to be an absence of leadership, which added not a little to the discomfort and bewilderment. The situation presents the opportunity for some shrewd leader to step forward at the psychological moment and invite a stampede.
 No one has any idea of the strength the various candidates will show on the first ballot, and sugges- tions are still heard relative to the wisdom of putting up someone whose name was not linked with the sen- ate campaign investigation. The name of Governor Coolidge is per sistently mentioned.

TO LIMIT SPEECHES.

CHICAGO, June 9. - Following the acceptance of the report of the credentials committee, making the temporary organization permanent, Chairman Lodge announced that he would enforce the rule limiting speakers to five minutes and to one speech on one subject on any one day.
 Responding to insistent calls, Chauncey Depew made a brief ad- dress, and was followed by Mrs. Margaret Hill McArthur of Kansas, who has the distinction of being the first woman to address a national convention.
 The only new material in the re- port of the rules committee, which was submitted today and accepted, IS an increase in the number of members of the executive committee of the Republican national commit tee from ten to fifteen, to make room for women members. @
 The resolutions committee report ed progress, but announced that it was not ready to present the plat form for consideration. George C. Hazelet of Alaska is a member of the resolutions committee
 The Lodge Speech.
 Chairman Lodges address to the convention was delivered from manu- script and was enthusiastically re- ceived. Roars of applause greeted his reference to the "Wilson dynas- ty." The defeat of the present ad- ministration, he said, transcends ev- cry other question, and "the ground thus cleared, it becomes our duty to reinstate several fundamental principles which have been both choked and invaded"
 Another wave of applause greeted Lodges reference to Wilson as Democratic free trader with social istic proclivities. They must be driven out, he concluded, mot be- cause they are Democrats, but be- cause Wilson's theory of government lis not American"
 William Jennings Bryan, who is attending the convention as spec tator for the purpose of discourag- ing the nomination of "wet" can didate, is occupying a seat in the press stand, blandly interested in all that is taking place, but with face that discloses little of what is pass ing through his mind. The report CTS say he is wearing his poker face" for the occasion.

NEWCHAMPION
HELPING POLICE
Rep. James Introduces Bill
Raising Pensions Of Re
tired Force.

Another bill to place retired Npo-
lice and firemen Of the District OF
Columbia on : the same financial
status as those pensioned under a
higher basic rate of pay was in
troduced in the House yesterday by
Representative w. Frank James, Of
Michigan.
The bill provides that all police
men in the District. pensioned under
laws enacted prior to December g.
1919. shall be entitled to the same
rating and pensions, and shall re-
.ceive a pension equal to that now
being granted, or that may here
after be granted, retired or PEN
stoned policemen.
1t makes the same provisions for
all fremen pensioned under iegisla-
tion enacted prior to January "a.
1920. Both this bill and a former
one introduced by James were
caused by Increased living costs
rendering present pensions made
quate, while those now being PEN
stoned received a higher rate, owing
to increased salaries.
The bill further provides that such
police and firemen shall be entitled
to all pension benefits resulting
from any and all increases in pay
that may hereafter be granted by
Congress to the police and firemen
Of the District.

A bonus Of s2io for government
employees in the District for the en-
suing fiscal year was approved yes
terday by the Senate. The vote came
after long debate on an amendment
by Senator Calder. of New York.
making police and fremen Of WASH
ington eligible to the bonus. The
Calder amendment was rejected.
An amendment by Senator Harri-
son, of Mississippi. to give police
and firemen a bonus OF $50 also was
rejected.
Senators Warren. OF Wyoming,
and Smoot. of Utah. were bitter in
their opposition to the bonus for
members of the police and fire de-
partments, declaring that, since they
already had received raises under
ether legislation. to give them the
bonus would couse dissatisfaction
and loss of morale on the part OF
other government employees. Speech
ca were made in favor Of the CAL
der amendment by Senators Harri-
SON, Henderson, of Nevada; Pom
creme, of Ohio. and Calder.
What can we say to govern
ment employees" asked Senator War
reh, who have been serving the
nation for thirty-five years without
a raise of salary. II we make men
eligible to a bonus whose salaries
have in many cases been raised 5000
or more within the past few months?
The proposal is class legislation of
the worst kind"
Senator Smoot said: There Is not
an employe Of the police or fire de-
partment who has not received
raise of 5000 or more. Under the
terms of the bonus provision their
chiefs would be violating the law
to recommend them for the bonus in
any case. II we attempt to dis
criminate in favor Of the police and
firemen there is nothing to do but
to make all other classes of Federal
employees eligible who have been ex-
cluded from the bonus because their
salaries have been raised"
However, Senator Calder declared:
-Since last December six men have
been appointed to the police force
and six have resigned. 1t not only
Is impossible to keep up the morale
of the force on which we depend
for public safety, but 1t will be i'm
possible to keep up it's personnel
unless the men are better paid. 1t
is not a question of discrimination"
Senator Pomerene pointed out that

Yuppy, an ordinary little

little boy and girl provided her
with bones and biscuits and oc-
casional chocolate drops on
which Yuppy sustained her
young life.
Yuppy had no pedigree to wor-

with a certain charm that won
many friends for her. And this
morning. when Yuppy was run
over by an automobile and mer-
cifully dispatched to rest by a
policeman's bullet, a.: the kids
