CONVENTION SPURS
THIRD PARTY MOVE
Definite Steps Toward Call
Taken at Farmer.L Labor
Conference.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, May 30.-Definite steps
toward the call of a national third
party convention developed tonight
at q conference Of minority political
and labor representatives called by the
Minnesota Farmer-Labor organization.
A difference of opinion over whether
the movement should support Presi-
dent Roosevelt or stay out Of the
presidential fight ended with de-
cision to follow the conference call,
which forbade discussion Of a presi-
Dental candidate.
An organization committee Of IS
to decide whether to propose ma
tional convention was named and will
report tomorrow. If it suggests a call,
1t also would propose time and place
and a method of determining repre-
sentation.
Sees Roosevelt as Issue.
The presidential ticket discussion
was raised by David LASER, secretary
of the Workers Alliance of America,
who called it "a logical inconsistency
to say we are strong enough to or
ganize a national third party, but not
to put up candidate"
"The big issue" he said, "is Are We
for ROOSEVELT"
Earlier the conference heard a plea
from Gov. Floyd B. Olson, Minnesota
Farmer -Laborite, that no third party
candidate be entered in the November
election because 'it may defeat our
President"
Although urging formation Of a ma
tional third party for the Fall cam
paign, Olson asserted the movement
should devote its efforts to election
Of liberals to Congress"
Capitalization of q third party
movement now, however. he pre-
dicted, would make the movement "a
potent factor in the 1910 presidential
campaign" because 'the Democratic
party will move towards the right
once this Roosevelt influence
is removed"
Rautio Named Chairman.
A committee on committees late
today appointed Rudolph Rautio, Clo-
quet, Mimi, permanent chairman OF
the conference.
Mrs. Marian lie Sueur, Minneapolis
was named permanent secretary, and
the following vice chairmen selected
Ed McLarty, Los Angeles; w. C. Irby,
Jacksonville, Ala, and William Kueh.
mel, Hartford, Conn.
Among the speakers at the after
noon session was John Davis, secre-
tary of the American Negro Congress,
who declared the Negro had a special
interest in a third party because he
had been betrayed" by both major
parties.

to take the spotlight away from the
Republicans.
At recent press conference, the
President was asked If this were true.
Mr.. Roosevelt obviously disliked the
nature of the question. He did not
give direct answer, but, in speak
ing in a humorous vein, said the
speeches he would deliver would be
historical" in nature.
Followed by Letter.
This was interpreted as satire. until
the following letter was sent to Harry
Butcher. vice president Of the Co.
lumbia Broadcasting System in Wash
ington, and Frank Russell. vice presi-
dent of the N. B. C, in Washington {:
Present plans provide for the
Presidents arrival in Little Rock,
Ark, on June 10. The hour of his
address there, at the Centennial Sta
dium, will be approximately Z pm,
Little Rock time.
From Little Rock the President will
go to Dallas, Tex, arriving there on
the morning of June IL and speaking
about 1890 am, Dallas time.
THE third of the Presidents ad-
dresses on his trip will be made in
Vincennes on Sunday, June IA. The
hour will be about 10 am, local time.
Therefore, it may be that the ad-
dresses of the President in Little Rock
and Dallas will come at time when
you are broadcaSting the proceedings
of the Republican National Conven-
tion, meeting in Cleveland, Ohio. This
is to advise you that, under no cir
cumstances, do we wish through the
broadcaSting of these addresses by the
President, to be put in the position of
competing or conflicting with the
broadcasting Of the convention pro-
ceedings in Cleveland.
"In all probability. the Cleveland
convention will have adjourned before
June ID and there is no possibility of
conflict between the broadcasting of
the convention proceedings and the
Presidents address in Vincennes.
"(Signed) STEPHEN EARLY"
Besides Mr.. Roosevelt's scheduled
speeches in Little Rock, Dallas and
Vincennes, it is probable he will make
brief impromptu speeches at Hot
Springs, Ark, Houston. San Antonio
and Fort Worth, Tex, and possibly at
Hodginville, KY, June IA, when he
visits the Lincoln shrine at the birth
place of Abraham Lincoln.

M|DD|ES RE-ENACT
FR|GATE BURNING
President Views Spectacle
Launching June Week
Festivities.
By the Associated Press.

Es the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, May 30.-A gal
liant episode in the sea annals of the
Nation-the burning of the frigate
Philadelphia in the harbor of Tripoli
was re-enacted tonight as the Naval
ACADEMY launched its annual June
week festivities with color and pag-
eantry.
President Roosevelt watched the re-
enactment from the deck of the Po-
tomac, moored off the academy. The
President boarded the yacht earlier in
the day and took turn out in Chesa-
peake Bay.
Fifteen thousand spectators saw
how young Stephen Decatur, on Feb
ruary Is, 1904. entered the harbor
OF Tripoli, overcame the Corsair crew
Of the captured frigate and burned
and sank it at its anchorage.
Escape Under Gunfire.
The crowd saw the youthful cap
tain and his crew of 81 men and 4
officers escape from the harbor amid
the thunder of guns from the Tripo-
Titan forts and pursuing vessels.
The reproduction of the historical
episode was followed by visit Of
King Neptune, who boarded the de-
stroyer Babbitt and exchanged greet
jngs with Rear Admiral David Foote
Sellers, superintendent of the acad-
emy. Neptune, with mermaids (all
midshipmen) reviewed a parade of
illuminated sub-chasers, patrol boats
and ketches.
The city Of Tripoli was repro
duced on the tennis courts. The three
upper classes of midshipmen with
their parents and friends ate supper
in the streets of the canvas city while
costumed Corsairs strolled about, some
playing musical instruments.
The original Philadelphia, block
aiding Tripoli during the war with the
Barbary Corsairs, ran aground and
was captured by Corsairs. Commodore
Preble, commanding the American
squadron, determined to destroy the
frigate and selected Decatur for the
task.
When the supper, which represented
the joy of the Tripolitans at the cap
ture, was finished, all the lights about
the basin were extinguished.
Americans Discovered.
From the darkness the Intrepid
manned by Decatur" and his crew,
crept into the harbor. As it did 1873
years ago, the small boat ran along
side the Philadelphia and sought per-
mission to tie up to her hawser This
was granted but. as the bow of the
Intrepid got under the anchor chain,
a cry of "the Americans" arose.
The spectators watched the battle
for the frigate and its recapture. Sud-
denly they saw red fire shoot up from
the vessel and spread through its rig
ging. Decatur" and his crew began
pulling rapidly away, from the sinking
ship.
A thunder of cannon fire broke out
as two imitation forts opened up and
Tripolitan gunboats took up the pur-
suit. Red, white and green flares, sent
up from the forts gave a weird touch
to the scene
Relatives and sweethearts of grad
uating midshipmen, naval officers and
sports lovers made up the holiday
crowd which thronged to Annapolis
J hours before the sports events against
Army formally opened the week. June
week ends Thursday when approxi-
mately 263 midshipmen receive di-
plomas.
