Hayes then introduced hiyia tor Lodge as temporary chairman, swelling chorus of ayes uftlrnilng the selection. Anothor wuve of deaf ening cheers greeted the annntor as he stopped onto the ple'form. It was Just a minute before noon rhen Sen. Lodge began speaking and his address waa punctuated with cheers and applause, and especially was this a fact when he referred to the parly of 18U0 and declared that It must again come to the front for a like service to the country. Pro longed cheers and roars of approval again burst forth until the very foundations of the building appear ed to vibrate with the demonstration when Lodge declared everyone con nected with the "dynasty of Wood row Wilson must be driven from power, not because they are demo crats, but because Mr. Wilson's theory of government la not Ameri can." The defeat of the present ad ministration, Lodge alleged, trans cends evory other question. Wm Jennings Bryan, from his seit In the press stand, listened Intently to Lodge's hot and vehement denuncia tion of President Wilson and his as sociates. It took Senator Lodge exactly an hour and eighteen minutes to deliver his address, which be read from manuscript. The convention ap parently liked the keynote of Lodge's arraignment of the political Issues, and broke into wildest cheers, the applause lasting several minutes, lelesates standing on chairs, while flaes were waved. With the reading of Chalrmmi Lodge's speech, appointment of sev ernl committees, adjournment wan taken until 11 o'clock Wednesday. Negro Fleeted Commitfwnimi. CHICAGO, June 8.

SENATOR LODGE' Temporary Chairman of Re. publican Convention As sails League of Nations FLINGS DOWN GAUNTLET IVfeiuU Kenute'n OpiKisItion to the Treaty of IVme Mexican Pro. bleni IHiUt Willi Without Glovra In Talk. (By Associated Press.) . CHICAGO, June 8. The country mum drive President Wilson and his "dynasty" from power and de Teat the league of nations as he de sires It, declared Senator Henry Ca mt I.odge. temporary chairman of the republican National Convention, in his keynote address here today. Defending the senate's opposition to the treaty of peace as a high and patriotic duty, the senator flung down the gauntlet: "We make the issue; we ask approbation for what we have done. The people will now tell us what they think of Mr. Wil son's league and the sacrifice of America." Salient points made by Mr. Lodge were: 'Mr. Wilson and his dynasty, hl-i" heirs and assigns or anybody that is his, anybody who with bent knee has served his purpose must be driv en from all control, from all Influ ence upon the government .of the United States. "They must be driven Ifrom of fice and power, not because they are democrats, but because Mr. Wilson stands for a theory of administra tion and government which is not American. "The return of the democrats to power with Mr. Wilson or one of his disciples still the leader and master of agreed to party, which before his advent . possessed both traditions and principles, would be a long step In the direction of the autocracy for which Mr. Wilson vearns and a heavy blow to the con tinuance of the free representative government as we have always con ceived and venerated 'It. "Mr. Wilson and the autocracy he represents, and which those who believe In his doctrines and share his spirit represent, must be put asldo and conclusively excluded I'rotu any' future control. The defeat of tho present ad ministration and all It means, trans cends in Importance every other question and all immediate and dominant 'Issues are bound up with it. Without that defeat every chance of the right settlement of the mighty questions before us, so sorely needed now and not later, will depart. "To maintain law and order and a stable government where justice rules and the right of all men, high or low, rich and poor, shall be pro tected, we must have a government of the people, duly chosen by the people, ami never must there be permitted any government by a sin gle man or by a group of men, or by an organized minority. Alany vital economic measures and especially protective tariff leg islation to guard our Industries, are Impossible with a democratic free trader df socialistic proclivities in the White House. To accomplish such measures as these, we must have, as we intend to have, a repub lican president. In sympathy with a republican house and senate. "The ripe of prices, the nigh cost of living which reach daily into ev ery home, is the most pressing, as It Is the most difficult and most es sential problem which confronts us. Some of the sources of this trouble can be reached by legislation, al though not all, but everything that can be effected by law should be done at once. "Profiteering, charging of extor tionate and unjustified prices, which Is stupid as well as unlav.iful, are subject now to ample punitive laws. Those laws should be enforced, oth ers if necessary added, and tho of fenders both great and small should be pursued and punished. "The most essential remedy for high costs (or living) is to keep up and Increase production and par ticularly should .every effort bo made to advance the productivity of the farms. "Over 600 Americans have been murdered In Mexico. Carranza In sulted the American government In every possible way and still nothing was done. We fell so low thai when an American was seized, by one of the many bands rt! brigands land held for ransom, all that the government of the United Stales would do. was to offer to be the channel for conveying the ransom of their citizens to the highwaymen who had seized them. "We have watched and waiter; lone enough. We need a firm hand at the helm. The time hue come to put an end to this Mexican sit uation, which is a shame to the United States and a disgrace to civ ilization If we are to take part In pacifying and helping the world, let us begin hern at home in Mexico "Let the Mexicans choose as their president some strong and upright man who Is frlondly to the United States and determined to catahlUh onlur and then let the United States give him a real and cordial si.ppo'i and ho strengthen ami uphold him that he will be able to oxturnilnato the ban din and put an eud to the unceasing civil war. "We have stopped Mr. Wilspn's treaty and the question goes to the people. In 191tl, Mr. Wilson won on the cry that 'lie had kept ua out of war.'

Orders Jolui Hunter to lliiild it (uicreta Nldcwalk Ktwt of Pino Street Warehouse. Improvements to trie sidewalks, buildings and streets of the city, received a great deal of attention at last night's council meeting. On ac count of the absence of Mayor llam-j ilton, W. 8. Powell, chairman of thai council, presided. One of the first matters considered v as a petition presented by the A. Rupert company, requesting a fran chise granting permission for a rail road spur across Washington street. In order to reach the cannery which will be built it will be necessary to put In a spur track and the com pany asks permission to cross the street with this track. It was stated that an application has been made tt the public service commission and Cltv Recorder Whipple stated tha he had received notice from the com mission of the filing of such a re quest. City Engineer Summers stated that the railroad company engineer bad called on him and had requested the city not to pave up to the right of way but to give the company 4J teet instead of 39 from tho center of the right of way. It was stated that the company desires to put in two additional tracks and that more room will be needed. The contract for the paving of the street has al ready been granted, and the council waa undecided regarding the action to bo tuken. It was the concensus of opinion that everything possible to aid the cannery company should be done ami any reasonable request will bo carefully considered. The street committee was Instructed to make on investigation uud report at the next meeting in order thai proper action might bo taken. Considerable discussion occurred regarding tho condition at the Hun ter warehouse occupying the comer at Pine, Sheridan and Oak streets Along the east side of this structure there Is no sidewalk, the warehouse having old loading platforms extend ing out to the curb line. Mursbul Shambrook has made frequent com plaints regarding these plutfornf, claiming them to be in violation of the sidewalk ordinance and also stal ing that they are an eyesore. He re quested the council to force Mr. Hun ter to build walks on both the ua ,( and west sides of the building. Practically all of the members of the council opposed the forcing of walks along the west side, where there Is a spur railroad track from which cars are unlouded directly in to the buildings, but on the east side it was held that the walks should be constructed and after considerable discussion a resolution was passed instructing the marshal to notify Mr. Hunter to build the walks at once and In the event of his failure after proper notice to proceed to have the walks constructed and assess the cost as a lien against the property. Another Improvement discussed was the matter of requesting the railroad company to make repairs at the yarious crossings. It was shown that 'all of the crossings aro very rough and that some action should be taken to make repairs. The city (engineer advised proceeding witii I the work and assessing the cost to the company but the council voted to first request the company to make this Improvement and then in the event of failure to proceed to smooth up the crossings at the city's expense and then tax the company for tho cost. It was also voted to grant the pe tition of George Chandler, Charles Vrickson, E. SummerB and l. J. i Stewa Vroin art for the paving of the alley Douglas to Court street directly east of the courthouse property. The alley Is to be paved with concrete. The wooden sidewalks east of the courthouse on Douglas street were . . ,, lkl " While discussing sidewalks Coun cilman Creason brought up the con dition at the north end of the Deer ! creek bridge. On aeco-int of the bridge being narrower than the . street the sidewalks are not built on the same line as is followed In other places. On this account the city has feen endeavoring to reach an agree- 'ment with the property owner, to t these w. lu. So far these attempts have failed and the city recorder was Instructed to again take up the matter with the proper per sons and endeavor to reach an agree ment wheroby the walks can be built at once. It was also shown that the street department has been forced to buy lutitDor ior construction of cross walks and other such Improvements In small lots at local retail yards, it was shown that by purchasing In trurkload quantities direct from the mills that a reduction of from 1 10 to $12 per thousand feet could be secured and It was voted that the street department should purchase a large quantity of lumber of the sixes needed in order that this laving might be niado. Stroet lights were discussed and several matters In this regard re ferred to the committee on electric light to report at tho next meeting.

Firemen to Get More Apparatus A reuupst - for additional flnr f'Khtiug apparatus was granted by he city council lust night with only cue exception. The fire commis sioners reported thut the council should purchaso a 10-foot scaling ladder, a 40-foot extension ladder, a life net, a Siamese coupling, a re volvlng cellar- nozzle and another fire axe. These articela were al! deemed of importance and the ap proximate cost wus said to be $350. The council, however, could see nv necessity for a life net at this Mint and as it would cost in the neigh borhood of $10. it was voted t( eliminate this Item.

IN THEATRE FIRE Adrian Fisher Severely Burned When Films in Operating Room Antlers Explode MACHINES ARE RUINED Audloaice (JulteU by SUnnger and Paiiio la Averted, AU LeavUuc HulldiiiK Without Confusion or Injury to Anyone. Adrian Fisher was badly burned In a fire which last night caused con siderable damage at the Antler's treater. Fisher, who waa operating the machine, was responsible for tho saving of tho building of consider able damage as he stayed in the op erating room and closed all open ings and fought the flames until nearly all persons had succeeded In making their escape. - The fire start ed near the close of the second per formance and consequently the rowd was not as largo aa if the blaze had started previously. There was no panic and no one besides Kisber waa Injured. Tho machlnos In the theater are so placed that as soon as one stops the olhor starts, keeping the picture con tinuous. One reel was just ending and the operator had stepped over in the second machine when the end of the closing reel whipped out of the magazine and In some manner kinked sufficiently to become ig nited by the Intense heat from the arc light. Fisher Immediately 1 l('rke tnB feel from the magazine 5 had almost extinguished the blaze, when sparks dropped Into the film box and Immediately set fire to the seven reels of films there. Im mediately the whole (room was a mass of blaze. Ab the operating room !s completely lined with metal In side tho flames could only reach the outside through the apertures pro--vlded for picture projection. Each of these holes U provided with a metal cover aud with extreme pres ence of mind and pluck Fisher re mained in the room, In spite of the tlfllng heat aud gas, and closed the openings. As he made his escape rom the room a long streamer of flame 'followed him. proving tho danger to which he had put himself In an effort to save the building. Clarence Hill, manager of the theatre, was at the organ when the .how was halted. He looked into 'he balcony and seeing the flames inlckly sensed the danger. Several persons In tho audience had also ".een (ho puff of flame and smoke which occurred when the film Ig nited and a rush for the door waa itnrtcd. Mr. Hill called out for quiet and urged the iieople to take their time and Immediately the Imminent panic was averted, all walking out mi ick I y but without confusion. The lower floor contained over a nun- Ired people while ten or fifteen were sented In the balcony. It look only a short time to empty the bulld- ng and no one was Injured in any way. One woman lost her nat nui she can recover the same Dy caning at die box office for It. An alarm was Immediately sound ed and (he fire department re- ponded quickly. Only chemical was used and (he fire extinguished In a short time. The heat was Intense nd the fire spread into the wooden beams surrounding the tin-lined op erating room. Tho firemen were forced (o cut several holes througn the wall around and above the room to extinguish the blaze (here. fii the operating room, both pro jecting machines and the stereoptl- nn were badlv Injured. It IB pos sible that they ran be salvaged and n xntTt arrived this morning to- geihnr with C. F. Hill of Albany, president of the Globe Theater Co.. !o cither make repairs or send tho machines back to the factory, which ;ver is found necessary. Nine reels of film were destroyed. each film measuring 1000 feet In length. This loss will run to nearly S1.100. while the other loss will ue at least double that amount. Insur nnce Is carried to partially offset the damagn. Adrian Fisher, who so piucKiiy fought the flames, was badly burned about the head and hands. His face was burned nnd the hair singed from his head. His nek was also burned while In removing the film he re ceived a deep burn on his hand.
