ROOSEVELT AND JOHNSON NAMED Progressive Party Nqminates Colonel for Third Term at Chicago, with Califomia Governor as Running Mate. EACH ACCEPTS IMMEDIATELY Platform, Less Radical Than Candidate's "Confession of Faith," Drawn After All Night Struggle?Vital ity of Movement Not Yet DeTernvned by Observers at Convention. ?> s.'4~ rei .... Chicago. Aug. 7.?Thcodore Roosevelt, ex-Prcsident of the! United States. was named for a third term as President by the Pro-1 msaive party this afternoon. Hiram Tohnson. Governor of California. was named for Vice President. Both nominations were made by acciamation, there being no other candidates in the field. All was harmony in the convention to-day?except as to thr umrr.portant question of taking a recess. Colonel Roosevelt's "con-1 I -n of faith"' so completely foreshadowed the platform and the nominating speeches as to leave little of novel or vital interest in the convention. It was an anti-climax, looking at the convention from a theatrical standpoint. Both Colonel Roosevelt and Governor Johnson made brief speeches of acceptance as soon as their nominations were effected. so that the customary ceremonies of notification and acceptance will not be performed. The platform delayed the convention so that many of the dele gates were compelled to leave even before the nominations were e, but they left with no doubt in their minds as to the party I crtoce. WORKED ALL NIGHT ON PLATFORM Tiie resolutions committee, charged with the duty of draftmg a j'.atform. labored throughout the night. and then had its work all d by Mr. Roosevelt himself to-day. As submitted to the com mittee on resolutions by what one third termer described as "a group of long-haired doctrinaires and coliege professors." the party pro- ; nouncement contained some fiheen thousand words. As pruned. first by the committee and then by the candidate. it was reduced to sorr.ewhere in the neighborhood of five thousand words. ? arly Hour thla nvrniriK I . ..... rajg ri-.-ar --volution Two provlalona for whlc.h tha praettcal potttlctane wouiri not atand had been tncluded ln th" plat :orrn One provided tor th*- re a ludajea of the Bupraane Court ? ri Btatea r f"' eetflc, Blmple raeana of am-: Btil lerrattva or practlcal gentlmai i at both. and thay arera fv ?i-h. tblnjTi ank, whlcb had Irafted by tarftil sa to tv-Risrar deaciipUoi tiiank aa draftad v./,tiid. hc~ordlr.g- to thepra ?irai polltlctana Imva loat tho thirri | pt "' th* Mi!"" aeajrt fctver. a? flnallj adopted, ?

CIVILIAN LIKELY TO BE THIRD Extortion the Charge?"Bridgie" Will Say He Waf Collector Like Rose?"Billiard Ball Jack" Declares "Sam" Schepps Was at Becker's House a Few Hours After Murder. From evidence that reached the District Attorney's ofnee yes? terday. together with indications that more would follow from the same and other sources, the indictment of two police inspectors and a civilian for extortion was predicted as a development of the grand jury investigation of the Rosenthal charges and murder. ?'Bridgie" Weber sent word to the District Attorney yesterday that he was prepared to corroborate the story of graft told by "Jack" Rose. that he would tell the whole truth. including a detailed story of his relations with one of the police inspectors involved. Weber s relations with that inspector were the same that Rose says he bore to Becker?that is. according to Weber's own story. v-hich is corrobcrated by others. he was the inspector's collector. Weber is determined to stand with Rose in making a clean breast of his police-gamb'ing connections, in spite of the midnight attempt to intimidate him in the West Side Court prison early Monday morning. ?Sam" Schepps. the man who handed the getaway money from Weber to two of the gunmen. and who was with Rose when John W. Hart called upon him in Harry Pollok's house, was with Becker in Becker's house the Tuesday morning of the murder. wlthin a few hours after the time Rosenthal was killed, according to Rose's state ment yesterday. Evidence collected by the Burns detectives before the Rosenthi'i murder. as reported exclusively in The Tribune ten days ago, will support the story told by Rose of Becker's relations with gamblers. md a\<o the story that will be told by Weber involving one police inspector. In addition. the evid#nce of the Burns men will implicate another police inspector and a civilian. WHITMAN PROTECTS WITNESSE8. Other and new witnesscs who have told their stories to District? Attorney Whitman have been safeguarded by that official by keep :ng their names sccret, because they fear police intimidation. Some of these are citizens who witnessed the actual murder of Rosenthal. and others are men who will corroborate different portions of the graft accusations against Becker and the three others involved. Two servants of "Jack" Rose. who witnessed the actual passing over of graft coilection money from Rose to Becker, and who heard the conversation which accompanied the transfer. will tell then stories t<j the grand jury to-day. Every telephone communication between Rose and Becker, in? cluding the calls exchanged between them directly after the murder. from the Lafayette baths. and from. or to. Pollok's house. as related by Rose. has been corrobcrated and clinched by evidence turned over to Mr. Whitman yesterday by the Burns people. It 1* expected that the grand jury will indict to-day the four gunmen whose names have been most prominently mentioned. Two of them are still at large. Four new witnesses. whose names Mr. Whitman will not reveal. have identitied "Jack" Sullivan, who is now under arrest charged with the murder. as one of those who rode away from the Metropoie in the gtay automobile. Rose sent a letter to Mr. Whitman yesterday by the hand of his brother, Moe, in which he gave addittonal names and addressc of places from which he said he had collected for Becker. "DIABOLICAL PLOT." SAVS LAWYER. John F. Mclntyre, now Becker's chief counsel. declared that his ' client was the victim of "a diabolical plot," and that the testimor.y against him was "perjury of the blackest kind." He predicted the acquittal of Becker. Alderman Henry H. Curran said no one would be allowed *o dictate the appomtment of counsel to the aldermanic committee. He spoke with reference to a report that certain infiuences would attempt to force the selection of a lawyer who would be put ia %m protect men higher up than Becker. Rabbi Schulman said that the proposed Cooper Union maag meeting was absolutely necessavy to voice the indignation of thfj civic conscience. "Sam" Paul. who was arrested and then discharged in the Ro? senthal case. was subpoenaed as a grand jury witness yesterday, and wiil probably be called on to testify to-day. Harry Poliok ar.d his wife will be among other witnesses to-day. . . g TOLD OF GRAFT SUCH i AS STAGGERS BELIEF The two polli* lnepe-rtnra and one clvlllan whoae namea have been llnked with Lieutenant fharlea Beokurs in the gntl "tory told by "Jack" Rose are pra-tlrally certaln to he indlr-ted oa evidenre and proml-e.a of addltlonal ?rklenca that na.-hcd the Dlatrlct At toriH-y yeaterday, ?
