Kansas City, July 7. Heavy rains
fell again in various sections of Kan

The flood situation at many points la
critical. No loss of life Is reported.
The Kaw river here has flooded
Armourdnle and Argentine and the
big packing plants are being closed.
One-half of North Topeka Is under
water and 500 people are seeking
refuge in tho city proper. Train
service is seriously demoralized.
Jones' presence was not noticed.
Even the arrival of Senator Dubois of
Idaho, and ex-Senator Pettlgrew of
South Dakota, who walked down the
center of the hall together, failed to
attract any attention, but when the
Texas delegates marched double file
down bearing the lone star flag, the

were sporadic bursts of applause as
distinguished men or delegations arrived.
Convention Called to Order.
I Ex-Senator Towne offered a peti

dealing with irrigation, separate state

senators by direct vote.

M, Llchtenthal, Highly Respected Cit
Izen of Heppner, Ends His Life.
M. Llchtenthal, ex-county treasurer
of Morrow county, committed suicide
yesterday at the expiration of his
term of office.
The telephone line to Heppner is
not In order today and it has been
impossible to get any details of the
suicide, further than that he was
found dead at home, leaving no ex
cuso for the deed.
As far as is reported there Is noth
ing wrong with the accounts, and his
friends here arc at a loss to know
.why ho should take this course.
He leaves one marneu uuuguier
and one single daughter by a first
wife and one single daughter by his
last wife, who survive him. He was
a highly respected man, having held
the office of county treasurer for
three terms, having been defeated for
the office at the recent election.
He was formerly engaged ln the
boot and shoe business at Heppner
and is spoken of by Theodore Danner
and T. W. Ayres of this city, as a
model citizen and one wh6 would be
considered free from any thoughts of
suicide.
Monthly Medal Shoot.

The announcement that the com-. priations shall cease; that all depart
mlttee on credentials had given the meiits shall be thoroughly Invesilgat
delegates from Porto Itlco votes ln i ed from top to bottom by congresslon-
the convention, was received with
cheers.
Mr. Grady said the courts had de
cided that Porto Itico is a part of the
United States. "Once a part of the
United States," he said, "It will never
be a part of any other country."
(Loud applause).
"The supreme court," ho continued,
"had declared the Philippines not a
part of the United States. It is for
those reasons tbe committee had ta
ken the action it did.
"South of Arkansas, declared mat
tho opinion of the courts had never
been approved by the democratic
masses of the country. (Applause).
South declared Porto Itlco, the Phil
ippines and Hawaii are all entitled to
receive recognition, and proposed an
amendment giving tho same rights to
the Philippines. His statement that
the PhlllDDlnes are as much entitled
to votes as Porto Itlco, was loudly ap
plauded.
Objections to Amendment,
Congressman Handy of Delaware,
objected to the amendment on the
grounds tbat tho Philippines are not
a part of the United States, and made
a point of order against It
Delegate South protested, declaring
the convention could only reject the
report of tho committee seating tho
Porto Itlco 'members, and declined to
withdraw his own amendment.
Grady of New York, chairman of
Uie rules committee, denied the com-
mltteo had exceeded Its authority.
Handy took the stand to argue tho
point, when he said tho democratic
party hoped the Philippines would ln
time elect their own presldont. The
convention cheered lustily.
The question of adopting tho re
port of tho committee as made was
put to the convention and carried by
a viva voce vote.
Arkansas demanded a recall, which
was voted down, and the head of the
delegation from Porto Rico, Senor
Mollnad, proceeded to the platform
and addressed the convention,
The coramlttoo on credentials an
nounced ll would not be ready to ro
al committees, that ovll-dJers be
driven from public service and prop
erly punished; that trusts shall bo
proceeded against by Indictment, as
are common and smaller criminals.
"The doctrine that wherever tbe
American flag floats It should con
tinue to float, right or wrong; and
that the only patriotism is to support
Iloosuvelt's Philippine policy, if he
has any, right or wrong, Is the veriest
rot, as silly as a tale told by an Idiot.
President Roosevelt Is not the coun
try. The time has not arrived when
the people will accept tho arrogant
dictum of Louis XIV, repeated by an
American president, 'I am the state.' "
Democratic Crlngers.
Clark denounced the cringing dem
ocrats on tho other hand who said the
president should bo supported in his
Philippine policy oven if it is wrong.
Has Roosevelt a policy7 Ho denied
It, classing him as an opportunist,
waiting for something to turn up. In
the meantime our soldiers are being
killed and are dying of disease in
shoals, a president cannot be better
than his party, and he, Roosevelt,
could not find wdrso Swlitical compa
ny this year,
Clark denied emphatically tho
charge that tho democratic party
was in favor of freo trade. "Individ
ual democrats there are who are free
traders. Just as there are individual
republicans who are atheists."
Tariff Bolster for Trusts,
Where tariff rates aro so high they
enable American manufacturers to
sell their wares abroad cheaper than
they do to Americans hero at home,
they ought to be reduced. "If this be
anarchy or treason, make the most
of it."
Will some stand-patter explain why
Americans should bo mado to pay
one-third more for American steel
rails than do the citizens of other na
tions? He claimed tbat tho panic of 1893
was clearly a republican made panic
Turning to American shipping, he
said that "When tho American goes
abroad ho must sail under a foreign
flag on a foreign ship and under for
eign offlcers. Why? llocauso our
exorbitant tariff mado it lmposslblo
tor Americans to build ships In com
petition with tho British. Yet tho
republican gang has the inflnlto gall
to prnto about its patriotism."
Whacking away at trusts, Clark
enld that under republican inlsrulo
trusts have sprung up Mo mush
rooms. A Btraw that Indicated tho
trusts have nothing to fear from re
publican trust busters, was the ap
pointment of Knox to succeed Quay.
Another straw Is tho recent report
that Wnll street opinion has under
gone a change of opinion toward
Roosevelt. Has tho president chang
ed hta views or have tho trust mag
nates changed theirs?
Platform Will Be Conservative.
St. Louis, July 7. The platform
makers are proceeding with tho ut
most deliberation. At 10 this morn
lnc the subcommittco on resolutions
went to work again. It Is their ex
pectation to bo nblo to present tho
platform to the full committee this
afternoon nnd to procure Its speedy
Indorsement and glvo It to tho con
vention today, even though it bo
necessary to have a night session for
that purpose.
The platform will bo strictly "con
servative." without any reaffirmation
of an:- of ltR predecessors.
All Night Session In Sight.
The sub-committee, on platfjrni re
cessed from 1:30 until 2. It Is under
stood It wll report to tho full com
mittee at 5. This probably means an
all nlulit session, mid tho tip Is out
strong that the Parker people may
refuse to permit an adjournment to
night until nominations aro made.
Would Impeach Roosevelt.
James Fullerton, of Montana, ap
peared beforo the commltteo nnd de
