NATIONAL PROGRESSIVE ORGANU
, ZATION IS CALLED TO ORDER
BY SENATOR DIXON.
BEVERIDGE DELIVERS SPEECH
'Temporary Chairman of Bull Moose
Convention Says "We Battle fop
the Actual Rights of Man,
Knowing Well the Cost."
' Chicago. The National Progressive
party took Its placo In tho arena of
(American politics hero August 5, when
lits first national convention assem
bled in the Coliseum, whero tho Re
publican national convention was
Ihold. Colonel Roosovclt did not at
jend the first session of the conven
tion. Former Senntor Albert J. Beveridgo
of Indiana waB elected temporary
'chairman of the convention after Sen
ator Dixon had called tho assemblage
jto order and prayer had been offered.
Senator Deverldge, greeted with pro
longed cheers, delivered his "keynote"
speech, bristling with tho most ad
vanced ideas of progrcssivism.
) Tho big convention hall was crowd
ed. Tho delegates wero most enthu
siastic, frequently interrupting tho
pro'ceedlngs with cheers and applause.
Hall Gayly Decorated.
Tho sceno In tho hall, except for tho
ilack of a jam In tho gallerlos, was al
most identicals with that of tho Re
publican convention. Tho seating ar
rangements for tho delegates and al
ternates had been changed but little.
Many of tho standards had been
raised on tho identical spots where
they stood during tho tumultous con
vention which renominated President
Taft.
I The hall was gayly decorated with
flags and bunting. Largo canvas por
traits were a featuro of the decora
tions. Back of tho stage were those
of Washington, Jefferson and. Lincoln.
Tho Washington, Jefferson and Lin
coln portraits have been linked on all
the convention ticktcs and badges.
Suspended from tho band gallery at
the far end of tho hall, whoro all could
see, was an oil painting of Colonel
Roosevelt. Tho artist did not at all
flatter the Progressive leader.
Over tho main entrance was a
stuffed head of a splendid specimen
of a bull moose. Shortly after noon
tho delegates began to pour Into the
hall In increasing numbers.
Bcverldge Delivers Speech.
"Tho first words of tho constitution
are, 'We are tho people,' and they de
clare that the constitution's purpose is
'to form a perfect union and to pro
mote the general welfare.' To do just
that is the very heart of tho Progres
sive cause," declared Albert J. Bever
idge, temporary chairman of tho Pro
gressive national convention, In his
keynote speech calling that body to
order. Mr. Bevorldgo told in detail
the purpose and program of the Pro
gressive party. "Abuse," said he "will
only strengthen it, rldteulo only hast
en its growth, falsehood only speed
its victory.
"Knowing tho price we must pay,
the secrlfice we must make, the bur
dens wo must carry, the assaults we
-must endure knowing full well the
cost yet we enlist and we enlist for
the war. For wo know the justice of
our cause and wo know, too, its cer
tain triumph."
Stand for Nobler America.
Mr. Beveridge spoke In part as fol
lows: "Wo stand for a nobler America.
We stand for an undivided nation. Wo
stand for a broader liberty, a fuller
Justice. We stand for social brother
hood as against savage individualism.
Wo stand for an Intelligent co-operation
instead of a reckless competition.
Wo stand for mutual helpfulness In
stead of mutual hatred. We stand for
equal rights as a fact of life instead
of catchword of politics. We stand for
tho rule of tho people as a practical
truth instead of a meaningless pre
tense. We Btand for a representative
government that represents the peo
'Ple. We battle for tho actual rights
of man. That wo may do this wo
found a party through which all who
believe with us can work with us, or,
rather, wo declare our allegiance to
the party which the peoplo themselves
have founded."
Tho speaker discussed the Repub
lican and Democratic parties, the
"boss system" and "special interests,"
saying, nmong other things: "At tho
present moment notorious bosses are
in tho saddle of both old parties in
various Important states which must
bo carried to elect a president. Neith
er of tho old parties' nominees for
president can escape obligation to
these old party bosses, nor shako
their practical hold on many powerful
mombers of tho national legislature.
'Under this boss system, no matter
which party wins, tho peoplo soldom
win, but tho bosses almost always
win."

San FranclBco, Cal. By an over

his ribs wero shattered, many of them
so badly that they had to be replaced
with artificial bones.
His elbows havo gold and metal
joints and while ho can only turn
them In certain directions, ho has lit
tle difficulty in using them. His neck

NOTABLE EVENT ill DENMARK
Danish-American National Park at
Reblld Hills, Gift of American
Danes, Is Formally Dedicated.
Copenhagen, Denmark. An event
of peculiar Interest to America took
place at Reblld Hills August 5 when
tho new Danish-American National
park was formally dedicated to tho
Danish nation. Tho park derives Its
hyphenated name from the mode of
Its Inception. Some years ago a co
terie of American Danes conceived the
idea of perpotuating a tract of Danish
heatherland to posterity through tho
medium of their American wealth.
To this end a fund was started in
tho United States which resulted in
tho purchase of 300 acres of land.
The deed to tho park was formally
presented to the Danish people In the
afternoon. This document formally
conveys the land to Denmark for the
use of tho peoplo of this and suc
ceeding generations as a national
park, stipulating only that on each
Fourth of July tho Stars and Stripes
are to bo hoisted over the tract and
the park officially turned over to
Americans for the day.
TO CHEAPEN COST OF LIVING
Recommendations Are Made by Com
mittee Which Investigated Con
ditions in New York State.
Now York City. The committee
on markets of tho New York state
food Investigating commission made
public its recommendations as to
cheapening tho cost of living in this
and other cities of the state.
New Yorkers, It is estimated by the
committee, spends $644,083,000 a year
on food, of which 45 per cent Is mere
cost of distribution. A saving of 10
or 20 per cent of that distribution,
which the committee believes Its
plans will cause, means from $00,000,
000 to $120,000,000 to the public. The
committee concludes that the large re
tail food department store, buying di
rect, receiving direct and selling di
rect to 25,000 to 50,000 persons, is tho
best economic type in point of efficien
cy, minimum of waste, satisfactory
distribution and duo rewards for man
agement and capital.

Warns Against Bad Eggs.
Washington, D. C Tho deportment

to beware of "tho fried frozen egg"
'and tho "boiled dried eggs."
These dread species of hen fruit,
according to tho department, flourish

that there is no particular harm In
freezing a frying egg or drying a boil
ing egg If tho same is done under tho

STANLEY PROBERS
FLAY STEEL TRUST
MAJORITY REPORT DENOUNCES
THE COMBINE AS AN ENEMY
OF UNION LABOR.
CONDEMNS MORGAN PROFITS
Charges Roosevelt Wtih Growth of
Monopoly and Holds Gary Din
ners Responsible for the
Control of Prices.
Washington, D. C Flaying tho
steel trust as an enemy of organized
labor, accusing it of lowering sociolog
ical conditions of Its employes and
contributing to American industry,
workmen and work methods un-American
and foreign to tho best Interests
of labor, the report of tho majority of
tho Stanley steel probe committee of
tho house of representatives has Just
been submitted to the house.
Condemns Morgan Profits.
The report also hits J. P. Morgan
and associates hard for being .benefi
ciaries of enormous profits due to
overcapitalization of subsidiary com
panies of the steel corporation, and
Judge E. H. Gary, and his dinners aro
credited with a scheme by which
prices and territory were controlled
by the steel corporation after pooling
agreements were discarded.
Former President Roosevelt Is In
dicted for making control of the steel
trust absolute and Is charged with be
ing responsible for the gigantic stat
uro which tho trust has attained.
Tho report was presented by tho
chairman of the committee, Represen
tative Stanley of Kentucky. It was
more than a year ago that tho inquiry
began.
The report of the majority deals
with the steel trust from Its inception
and describes the various steps by
which J. P. Morgan and his associates
built up the corporation. In addition
to recommendations for legislation
suggested as remedial, tho Democratic
members of the committee make gen
eral accusations against the men re
sponsible for the organization.
Principal stockholders of the steel
corporation aro accifsed of exerting a
powerful and injurious influence on
the business of the United States by
means of control exercised through
lnte. ocking directorates of railway
and Industrial organizations.
Tho activity of tho corporation In
politics is laid bare and its Influence
described, and the steel trust as a
tariff beneficiary and Its part in the
making of the Payne-Aldrlch tariff act
are touched by tho Democrats.
The committee recommends legisla
tion to cure trust evils and to meet
existing conditions. It condemns tho
steel corporation, but does not invado
the jurisdiction of the United States
court, In which there is now pending
a government suit for Its dissolution.
Sums Up Conclusions.
In summing up its conclusions, tho
majority report says:
Tho control of corporations by tho fed
eral government la not approved. What
ever may bo tho -evil results of tho elim
ination of competition from tho steel
business; It does not Justify such a remedy
and could not bo cured by It, Such a
control, semi-socialistic In Its nnturo, Is
boyond tho power vested by tho consti
tution In Uio federal consxess.
Tho abuses can In a great measure bo
remedied by giving to the operations of
tho United States Steel Corporation and
other like corporations tho widest pub
licity, and by the strict enforcement of
llaws specifically Inhibiting tho employ
ment of cunning devices by which an un
fair advantage over competitors Is so
cured. Tho bureau' of corporations possesses
the authority to thoroughly Investigate
the Internal affairs of Industrial concerns
doing an Interstate business. Had the
character of tho steel corporation and tho
natuio and the extent nf Its operations

. GRACE IS FREED
FOUND N6T GUILTY OF SHOOT
ING HER HUSBAND.
Wounded Man Still Declares Wife
Fired Bullet Which Has Caused
Paralysis.
Atlanta, Ga. "God bless you,"
gentlemen," cried Mrs. Daisy Ulrlch
Ople Grace at 4540 Jn tho afternoon
whon the jury found her not guilty
pf the charge of shooting her hus
band. .
There was a note of hysteria In
Mrs. Grace's voice and she seemed on
tho verge of a collapse, but her law
yers patted her on tho shoulder and
urged her to restrain herself and she
soon became calm.
Then the crowd In court cheered tho
verdict and surged about Mrs. Grace,
many of the women .weeping.
At last the deadly whiteness of Mrs.
Grace's face was relieved by a flush
and she began to smile.
Then she approached each of the 12
jurors and gave them thanks.
"I feel like kissing and hugging you
all," she said. "I trusted you all the
time. I knew you would not believe
what they said about me."
The verdict was generally expected.
It was conceded that tho state failed
to sustain the charge that Mrs. Grace
had drugged and shot her husband
and locked him in to dio in order to
get ?25,000 insurance on his life.
Mrs. Grace's statement had a tre
mendous effect on the jury and its
main statements were generally cred
ited. The case was given to the Jury at
2:30 p. m. by Judge Roan, whose
charge favored Mrs. Grace. The jur
ors ato dinner and about 3:30 began
consideration of the case. After a
little discussion It was found that all
agreed Mrs. Grace was not guilty and
the verdict of acquittal was ordered.
Grace was not In court. He was
taken back to his hotel and there
heard of the verdict.
"I don't" care what tho jury said,"
he declared. "She's as guilty as hell
and she knows It."
Grace announced that he would
make a statement about the case and
at once sue for divorce.
Ident of the United States a't the time
of the absorption of tho Tennessee Coal &
Iron Co. it is highly Improbable that tho
chief executive would In 20 minutes have
given his consent to a merger Jraught
with infinite Injury' to the steel industry
arid to the public alike. '
The enormous earnings of tho steel
corporations aro duo not to a degree of
integration of efficiency not possessed by
Its competitors, but to the ownership of
ore reserves out of all proportion to Its
output or requirements and to the control
and operation of common carriers, divi
sions of rates, tjnd the liberal allowances
obtained from other concerns through In
equitable and inordinate terminal allow
ances. The business of production and
transportation should be absolutely sep
arate and distinct, and no industrial con
cern should bo permitted to own or op
crate an Interstate carrier.
Legislation Recommended.
The legislation recommended by the
I majority consists of three bills, Ono
of them, the Brandcis bill, Is designed
to give an injured party tho right to
institute suit to prevent tho organiza
tion of n combination In restraint of
trade.
Another bill would provide that "no
person who Is engaged as an Indi
vidual or as a member of a partner
ship or as a director or other officer
or an employe of a corporation In the
business, in whole or in part, of man
ufacturing or selling railroad cars or
locomotives or railroad rails or struc
tural steel, or mining and selling coal
shall act as a director or other ofllcoi
or employe of any railroad company
which conducts an Interstato com
merce business." ,
Tho third bill Is intended to hit at
tho system of interlocking director
ates and would separate Industrial
from railroad business.
