MEXICO CITT. Aug. 30. Wearied by the exercise of their constitutional, but hitherto unused right to nominate candidates for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency, delegates to the first national convention of the Progressive party late last night adopted a platform that sags beneath Its burden of re forms. It Is expected that Domina tions will be made today. Tha first work done waa the adop tion of various planks of tha platform, which waa accepted after a noisy de bate. It nrovldes for the strict main tenance of the constitution of '57. Some delegatea proposed that there be added to this "and the lawa of the reform." the meaaure bv which Benito Juarex brought about tha separation of church and atate. For more than three-quarters of an hour the delegates vigorously ex pressed their opinions, but In the end the plank aa writtetn was adopted. The convention pledged Its candidates to carry out the principles of antl-re-election and to work for a revislpn of the election lawa. Another plank provides for a re vision of the system of taxation, fa vors the Department of National Re sources snd promises to combat mo nopolies and apeclal privileges. The party pledges Its representa tives to work for a reform or tne ju dicial and legal systems. Improve ment In the educational system of the country Is also promised. If elected on thia platform. F. I. Ma- dero, Jr., may be expected to exercise a friendly Interest In Central American affaire. One provision of the party's programme is for the extension of the nation s friendly relations with foreign countries, "especially those of Latin America." The provision ends with the promise to direct prudently the policy of the government toward bring ing about a unton of tne central Amer lean republics. Special attention la paid to the Inter ests of the laboring element In one plank, which promisee "to Improve the moral, intellectual and material condi tlona of the worklngman." Establishment of manual training schools Is promised. The Mexlcanlxa tlon of the personnel of the National Railways Is to be hastened and achools are to be established. Laws looking to proper Indemnification of those Injured while at work are promised. The delegates did not begin ' the adoption of their platform until after o'clock. Until then the time had been spent In listening to an address of welcome by Jesua Urnella. one of the prominent party leaders, and In the adoption of rule of order. Since this is the first convention of the party the delegatea were forced to take time to formulate rulea and pro cedure. Most Important of these rules waa that providing that candidates should be chosen by simple majorities and by an open vote, aa opposed to a aecret ballot. Francisco I. Madero. Jr., who will he the choice of the convention for Pres ident, waa In the theater yesterday for a few minutes, but It Is doubtful If more than ten delegatea were aware of his presence. He stood in the wings of the stage, listened to the pro ceedings and discreetly peeped around the fliea for a view of the house and then by meana of a aide entrance, made his way to an automobile. The greater part of the day he had been In his home, availing himself from time to time of a telephone to learn what waa going on In the convention. The only member of the Madwo family who Is taking an active part In the convention la Gustavo, brother of the candidate, who was hie representa tive In Waahington during the early daya of the revolution. As a member of the central committee, he sat upon the stage beside Chairman Juan San ches Ascona and from time to time his sctlons Indicated that he waajnanlpu- latlng an efficient, if new, political machine. It Is he who Is largely re sponsible for the candidacy of Jose 1'lno Suares for the Vice-Presidency, In opposition to Francisco Gomes. He and his friends say they have corralled 75 per cent of the votea for Suares. Fer nando Igleslaa Calderon and Alfredo Roblea Dominguei are the other can didates. Where the delegatea were assembled for the afternoon session men and boys distributed handbills among them of varioua alsea and hues, urging them to vote for Pomlngues and setting forth reaaona therefor. Outside the theater a rain of the posters from the gallery began and con tinued until the floor of the parquet waa carpeted with them. Thia method of fighting was used In opposing the candidacy of Vasques Gomex. Support era of Calderon lavlahly - distributed large halftone likenesses of the candi date with the caption. "Vote for Calderon." Althoagh holding the first real con vention In the history of the country. unless those of the Catholics csn be so styled, the delegatea are conduct ing their affairs In a manner that haa won the commendation of the public both native and foreign. Among those who witnessed the proceedings was James R. Garfield, ex-Secretary of the Interior of the United States. The convention doors are open to tne public, but since there are more than 1500 delegatea space reserved for spec tators Is limited to the galleries. Not withstanding this almost every seat waa occupied. The delegatea have no other choice for President than the man who led the masses to victory, but they are not representative of these people, or even the lower grsde of the middle class. It Is a gathering of the "better element." Now and then a silk hat and frock coats are seen; a dozen wearera of the ceaked aombrero indi cate that their ownera represent rural districts, but fully 0 per cent of the delegates wear the dress of the ordi nary business man.

Official Says Parent Company Has Never Collected This Stock, So Law Has No Hold on It. NEW YORK. Aug. SO. An official of the Standard Oil Company today said regarding the dtsssolution of the com pany under the mandate of the Su preme Court that only the stock of the 33 companlea affected by the court's decision will be distributed to the stockholders. He said that the large surplus that has stood to the credit of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey would not have to be divided among these com panies, because the surplus had never been collected by the parent company. Only that amount which has been paid out by Standard Oil In dividends haa been drawn from the subsidiary companies, according to this authority, and the profits above this amount were left with the companies, so each at present has its proper share of the surplus. TOBACCO TRUST GIVEN TIME Extension Granted for Distribution of Stocks and Bonds. NEW YORK. Aug. 30. The time for depositing stock and bonds of the American Tobacco Company prior to obeying the order to dissolve by the Supreme Court haa been extended to September 15 for the stock, and to September 37, for the bonds. Yester day was the final day originally set for such deposits, but a conference of the members of the committees ap pointed to protect the interests of the holders of Tobacco Company securi ties agreed on the postponement.

An attorney for the Tobacco Com pany Is authority for the statement that on Thursday an application prob ably will be .made to the United States Circuit Court for an order directing the American Tobacco Company to bear the reasonable expenses of the three stockholders' committees. TRIBESMAN IS PUZZLE FIRE DRIVES SURVIVOR OF EARLY DAYS INTO OPEN. California Jail Holds Indian Who Does Not Know Use of Fire arms or Knife and Fork. CHICO. Cal., Aug. 30. The last known survivor of the Mill Creek and Deer Creek Indians, whose atrocities made hideous pages In the annals of early California, was captured two miles from Oroville late today while attempting to steal meat from a slaughter-house. Driven from the river country by forest fires, he was taken to the Oroville Jail, starved beyond resistance, and followed by a crowd which collected at the sight of a man 60 yeara old, unshod and clad only in a aleeveiess canvas shirt, laced with deerskin thongs. Indians of surviving tribes were summoned but were unable to talk with him and several Deputy Sheriffs offered him food. By way of experi ment, a knife and fork and spoon were laid beside a tin plate loaded with potatoea and meat, taut the savage took no notice of them, clawing pieces of meat apart with his hands. Firearms were shown him, but he did not com prehend their use. but when the Dep uty lighted a cigarette, he seised tne match and by making circles around his head demonstrated that he kept bis hair short by singeing it. His only possessions were a tew deer sinews. No one knows what to do with him. no charge having been placed against him. The Deer Creek and Mill creek In dians were obliterated as a tribe in a series of battlea In the early '60s, and It has been believed that none of the tribesmen survived.
