East St. Louis, Ills., Sept. 23.—Short ly after noon today the democratic state convention was called (to order by Chair man Charles Boescheiistein of the state committee in the little Avenue theater, which was badly crutded. In a brief j speech Mr. Boeschenstein introduced I Congressman Henry T. Rainey as the | permanent chairman. Up to the very hour of the opening of the convention a battle was waged with reference to the platform of the ; convention, the opposing factions were J still battling over the local option plank in the state committee headquarters. On the other planks there was agreement, j The platform declares strong against graft and declares for an elimination of I labor unions from the workings of the i law. There were rumors of an attempt to I secure presidential endorsements in the interest of certain ambitious politicians, but when the convention met the indi cations were that no presidential reso lutions would be introduced. Champ Clark’s friends were active in lobbying for presidential mention and there was talk of a boom for an Illinois man, but the leaders discouraged any attempt to put the convention on record. Lee O’Neill Browne was a conspic uous figure among the delegates to the state convention. He was outspoken in his opposition to his old enemy, Roger Sullivan, whom he blames for some of his troubles. He sounded out some of i the state representatives with regard j to the minority leadership of the state I house. ing, Mr. Veitz; “Calm as the Night” (Bohn); “When Love Is Kind,” old English melody, Miss Thode, Miss Tom linson, accompanist.

Mr. New ton raced to the back yard just in time to see a figure flit around the corner of the house and jump the fence. The man was in shirt sleeves and went so fast that Mr. Newton did not have time to get any action with his pistol. In the last few days several chicken roosts have been raided in the neigh borhood of Mr. Newton’s home on North Flores street, and residents are ready with a warm reception for the next roost robber that shows up.

M. Chambers, Who Declines to Be Inter viewed Further. C. M. Chambers, assistant district at torney, has seen the governor and been seen. He is back in San Antonio living up to that ancient Spanish maxim which says: “En boca cerrado no en tran moscas, ” (in a closed mouth no flies will enter). He does say, how ever, that Governor’ Campbell praised the Light and Gazette, “Just say I saw the governor. That’ll be enough,” said he this morn ing, Then the assistant district attor ney leaned back in his ehair, wobbled his cigar from side to side and “de clined to be interviewed.” But he smiled and smiled and continued to smile. Evidently the interview be tween himself and Mr. T. Campbell had been satisfactory. Mr. Chambers, supposedly, had been summoned to Austin to confer with the governor regarding the so-called clubs which are said to have a remunerative side line of gambling and Sunday booze seiliug. He is supposed to have laid some facts, and pertinent facts at that, before the executive. C. A. Leddy, the assistant attorney general, who was here some time ago looking into the clubs, was not at Austin, but the chief of the department, Jewell P. Lightfoot, was there. He, also, was seen by Mr. Cham bers. “I am not being interviewed,” said Mr. Chambers this morning. “I don’t mind telling, however, and you can pub lish it, that Governor Campbell said the Light and Gazette was a corking good paper. That's all the interview I’m go ing to give.” With that. Mr. Chambers turned the conversation on the practicability of commencing a crop in January, 1911, at which time Mr. O. B. Colquitt lugs his blankets into the governor's mansion. TRELOAR, THE LONDON ‘BEGGAR,’ IN NEW YORK New York, Sept. 23. —“The biggest begger in London” is iu town. That is i hat Londoners affectionately term Dr. William Treloar, former Lord Mayor of London, who has been able to secure for his city a hospital for crippled children, one of the bdst equipped in the world, and to add greatly to the improvements of tubercular conditions in s ihe London slums. /The former Lord Mayor, who served his term of office in 1906-07, still is in early middle life and hale and hearty. He is in America to rest and acquaint himself with American fortune building. Not that Sfr William needs many point ers, for his name in Ludgate as the head of the famous carpet house at that name places him among the most suc cessful of British merchants. Or Prose Girl.

What does he think of the census returns'? These are questions that kept a re porter for the Light and Gazette on the run the greater part of today —and a fruitless chase at that. During the hunt for the city’s chief executive to get an expression from him concerning San Antonio since the census report, the pencil pusher met with a disap pointment at every turn. At no place could the mayor be found, despite strenuous effort. To more complicate matters, the news wires shortly before 12 o’clock brought the following dispatch: “Austin, Tex., Sept. 23.—Mayor Cal laghan returning to San Antonio on the morning train.” That the mayor had slipped away to Austin was not kn<zwn here. The mes sage came as a surprise. It was known, however, that he contemplated going over today for the stated reason that he intended to place his son in the law school of the university. Inquiries whether the mayor had been seen to reach the city on the 10 o'clock I. & G. N. train from Austin, indicated that the mayor had not stepped from the train when it stopped at the depot, at leas':. AMUSEMENTS Another big crowd saw the excellent vaudeville bill at Electric Park last night. This week’s bill, especially fram ed for the last week of the season, has been pronounced by fun lovers as tho best yet. The Two Deloys in the sketch “Snorky”; Myrtle Deloy, charming baritone, in ballads and topical songs; Williams and Culver in a refined sketch and the Rice Brothers, a rough and tumble German comedy riot, keep things hopping every minute. The park will not close until Sunday night, the management being busy now framing a bill for the Sunday night crowd. Working at night and a double force of mechanics during the day is work ing wonders in completing the Royal and getting things ship shape for the । opening Sunday. Leo Mandry. the contractor, expects to withdraw his forces tonight and leave the house in the hands of the decorator for a few finishing touches. Tickets are selling fast for the Sun day performance and the opening bill is guaranteed to be great from start to finish. It is perhaps not necessary tn state that the patrons at the Star last night overflowed the capacity. This, however, lis quite the usual thing and indeed would be remarked upon were it other [wise. This week, however, a remarkab ly good bill has increased attendance (beyond the limit possessed and the Star has been unable to take care of the first show crowds. For the benefit of many it can be stated that the second show SAVE YOUB HAIB CS Get rid of the dandruff, nourish th- HEM hair-roots and promote the growth of A|bd| soft, glossy, vigorous hair, by using <T| Beshore's for Dandruff. 50c and $l.

The may or’s stenographer said she expected him at the hall, but his honor did not put in an appearance up to 11:15 a. m. A trip to the mayor’s home on East Crockett did not find him. It was re ported that he was in the eity some where and had not yet gone to Austin. “We are going over the I. & G. N. train at 1:15 o’clock this afternoon for Austin,” Alfred Callaghan, the mayor’s son, told the reporter. When the train pulled out at 1:55 o’clock this afternoon, neither the mayor nor his son were on it. “No, the mayor and Alfred are not going to Austin today. My father changed his mind,” Bryan Callaghan, son of the mayor and station master at the I. & G. N, depot, told the scribe when asked about it. Then the chase was renewed. The onlv person at the city hall who caught a glimpse of the mayor as far as could be learned, was a janitor. “I didn’t see him come in, but I saw him go out of the eity hall,” the jani tor said. And yet, the question remains— where is the mayor? Ibegins at 9:15 and is exactly the same las the first —nothing cut out —and you [can pick your favorite seat. Three [splendid acts and 2000 feet of moving pictures constitute the bill. ANNOUNCEMENTS MINSTRELS AT THE GRAND. Barton & Wiswell’s “Down in Dixie Minstrels,” open a two days’ stay at [ the Grand with a matinee on Sunday. 1 Headed by John Rucker, the Ala-1 bama Blossom, who fits his unique sobriquet in every way, the Barton & Wiswell entertainment becomes a whirl: of fun and frolic from the rise until the final fall of the curtain. The songs are all new, the jokes fresh and original and the vaudeville features are mod ernity itself. The instrumental music is of the highest class. It includes the Gold Seal concert band of twenty solo ists, which will be conspicuous in the street parade that will start from thCj Grand opera house at noon on Sunday. I TIM MURPHY. Tim Murphy’s creations have all been racy with Americanism just as Mark Twain's books and frequently Mr. Murphy has been called the Mark Twain of the stage. For this engage ment at the Grand on Tuesday night and Wednesday matinee and night, Tim Murphy will produce for the first time: a splendid comedy entitled “Mr. Opp,”| by Alice Began Rice, author of “Mrs. > Wiggs of the Cabbage I'atch.” The book “Mr. Opp” w «s dramatized by Douglas Z.

Springfield, 111., Sept. 23. —Governor Deneen sat in the seat of honor as tem porary chairman when the republican state convention —the greatest convex tion ever held in the state —opened here today. His appointment to the place is a ..blow to Joseph G. Cannon and his followers, who were determineo that the honor of presiding at the con vention would fall to the speaker. That Deneen will be ehosen perma nent chairman seems certain. As a re sult of this Cannoiwwill play a mighty small part in the arrangements and. according to his own announcement, will not even speak. The powers that be are inimical to Cannon and Lorimer and the platform promises to be distinctly progressive, if not altogether insurgent. Among the planks which have been included in the draft of the platform are: Condemnation of grafting legis lature which elected Lorimer and a demand for investigation of it by the next legislature, reading out of the party republicans who joined with the democrats in the bi-partisan legislation, a tariff plank favoring the revision of the tariff schedule by schedule instead of a general revision. So far those who are drafting the platform have made no mention of a plan to endorse either Taft or Roose velt. Uncle Joe “Cussing.” Uncle Joe Cannon, swearing at the newspapers, has been in evidence all day. He will be permitted to speak from the floor sonic time today, but his will be the unofficial utterance of a one-time leader. Barely 1000 delegates are present, and the session is tame. The platform will go through without a hitch after it goes through the formality of sub mission to the committee on resolu tions. Governor Deneen. in his opening speech to the convention, failed to come up to the expectations of his friends, many of whom had been led to believe that the governor's address would be a “scorcher” and aimed ro read out of the party all those 24 re publicans who with sixty democrat, perfected the organization of the last general assembly.

The very schedules which it criticises received a strong support from the democratic party in con gress. ’ ’ WOMAN’S CONDITION SAID TO BE SERIOUS 1 The condition of Mrs. Edwin Rout ledge, injured in a street car accident at Garden and Nueva streets about 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, was re ported to be serious this afternoon and it would be a day or two before the extent of the injuries are determined.
