port defeated, Chairman Lodge an
nounced that the time had arrived for
the nomination of presidential can
didates. The roll of states was called and
when Illinois was reached, Represen
tative Henry Boutell was recognized.
He made a speech nominating Can
non. At reference to Lincoln there
was tremendous applause, which was
Increased when he referred to Roose
velt and lasted several minutes.
At the mention of Cannon's name
the galleries let lose the wildest
cheering of the day. The Illinois del
egation leaped to their chairs, yell
ing: "Uncle Joe."

onded the nomination of Cannon.

Governor Haniey was next recog
nlxed. He nominated Fairbanks, at
length he turned to the gallery, shak
ing his fists, be exclaimed: "'My
friends, It will depend on you how
long I talk, I can stay here all night
If necessary."
The crowd yelled louder, drowning
the sound of the gavel. Every allu
sion to Fairbanks was greeted with
Jeers and catcalls. When Haniey
likened Fairbanks to a pure marble
shaft, the crowd went Into a con
vulsion of mirth.
Taft delegates, who hud prepared
early for a demonstration, were loud
In their hooting.,
Senators Beveridge and Hemenway
of Indiana, overcome by the display
against Fairbanks, Jumped on their
chairs' and shouted to . Haniey:

and Knox by Lieutenant Governor
Robert Murphy of Pennsylvania.
When Congressman Burton arose to
nominate Taft there was an ovation
of four minutes' duration before he
could speak.
Demonstration for Taft.
As Lodge designed, the Burton
crowd knew the latter was to present
the name of Taft. The Ohloans who
had been waiting arose and started
cheering. Flags waved in all parts
of tho big hall, and the resounding
cheers were deafonlng.
It was a well prepared ovation and
well carried out. The talL congress
man stood over his minutes unable to
utter the first word, so great waa the
noise. .There was a tenseness about
the crowd that was not noticeable be
fore. Lodge dolivered a lecture to the gal
leries. "I shall order the sergeant at
arms to clear the galleries If there Is
not less disturbance. The business of
this convention must be transacted.
The guests of the convention cannot
be permitted to prevent procedure."
Haniey Makes Tlireat,
Governor Haniey took advantage or
a minute of quit to shout: "This con
vention may not want to hear me to
day, but the delegates will hear me
before November, before election day
they will know how Indiana Is go

Labor Leader Dtsaiqiolntod.
Labor leaders are apparently dis
appointed with the antl-lnjunetlon
plank adopted. When asked for a
statement Compers said: "I have
nothing to say and 5.n't know that
I will ever have anything to say about
it."
John Mitchell said: "I regard the
plank as being equivalent to no anti
injunction plank. It sounds as though
It promised something later on, but
In the present shape it has no value."
Hcfonn Measures Kejeeted,
Forced by the Wisconsin delegation
Into demanding more radical action,
a minority report embodying the Wis
consin demands was made by the res
olutions committee.
Plunks referring to the election of
United States senators by the people,
ascertainment of the physical valua
tion of railroads and the publication
of campaign expenses were taken out
for separate action. The remainder
of the minority platform was put to a
vote and lost by 952 to 28 for.
Then the plank for the publication
of campaign expenses was defeated,
880 to H. The section regarding
senators was defeated, 886 to 114.
The provision for a physical valuation
of railroads was defeated, 917 to 63.
IliySlriuu Wlio Formerly Practiced in
Till City Without a IJeense Charg
ed With Ingratitude.
The following is, a special dispatch
to the Oregonlan from St. Louis:
Dr. J. N. O. Luttenberger, evange
list and physician, now of Pendleton,
Ore., was divorced today by Mrs,
Henrietta Luttenberger, who claims to
have paid for his education.
"We were evangelists together,
when we first met." Mrs. Luttenberg-
er testified. "I spent $2500 of my own
money to educate him as a physician
and when he got his diploma he said
I was not as good as he was and that
I was fit only for work In the kitchen,
In the 10 years we were married he
gave me only $75. He said I was not
his social equal and was his wife only
in name. He had Just returned from
a three months' trip to Europe at my
expense when he left me for good."
The couple were married July 8
1896. From December, 1906, until
September 9, 1907, they lived practl
call yestranged In the same house.
Tho testimony of' Miss Louise Wolff,
of Dorsey. III., helped the plaintiff.
Miss Wolff told of Dr. Luttcnberger's
attempting to embrace her when she
entered his office.
"I pushed him away and told him
to behave himself," said the witness.
Luttenberger had filed an answer,
but did not appear. His attorney.
W. G. Cofleld, cross-examined the
witnesses. For a year before Dr.
Luttenberger left St. Louis he was
pastor of the Carondelet Christian
church several weeks. After he and
Mrs. Luttenberger began living in
separate apartments, he preached on
"Is Marriage a Failure?" His conclu
sions were: "If the wife refuses to
keep up reading and thinking she will
soon, discover Inharmonious conditions.
When the husband loves art, sci
ence, literature and Christianity and
the wife Is given to admire the oppo
site, incompatibility soon weakens the
tender chords of genuine affection.
"When the home Is blessed with
chldren, love and affection grow more
perfect. Whenever the woman re
fuses to be fruitful and multiply, love
suffers Irreparable loss."
Their Would-be Victims Turn Tables
on Them In New Orleans.
New Orleans, June 18. Followln
a series of crimes attributed to so
called "Black Hand societies In the
Italian quarter of New Orleans, one
of the .worst tragedies yet connect
ed with that section took place
today, when three Italians were shot
to death.
According to the police, these men
were killed as a result of an attempt
to extort money from Pletro Glacona,
a wealthy Italian wine merchant. GI
acona and his son told the police
that these men had frequently bought
wine from them by the barrel, and
had Invariably refused to pay for
According to their story, the three
forced them to ship a barrel of wine
to a point In the state yesterday and
returning early today, ordered them
to prepare a meal. The elder Gla
cona suspected that trouble would
ensue and hid a repeating rifle near
the table. When one of the visiting
Italians drew a revolver and ordered
them to produce money and vatu,
ables, the elder Glacona answered by
a shot from the rifle. The man he
fired at fell dead and the other two
attempted to escape. One was killed
before he got 10 feet from the table,
The other reached thestalrcase, only
to get a bullet In his brain as he
started down the step.?, his body fall

of the Italians killed was Identified

IT'S li TU H tU DEI
Manager E. K. Lorlmer has tender
ed his resignation as manager of the
Pendleton baseball club, press of
private business making It Impossible
for him to give the club the time It
requires. Dean Tatum has been se
lected as his successor. Lorlmer has
worked hard and uncomplainingly
since the opening of the season and
has devoted his 'entire time and at
tention to baseball, greatly to the det
riment of his own business. He will
now give the latter some attention.
The new manager has announced
the appointment of Dean as captain.
Tatom has already taken much In
terest In the progress of the team and
manager took up the work with re
newed energy where It had been left
off. That the team will lose nothing
by this exchange of horses in mid
stream Is asserted by the fans who
have faith In the new manager.
Two new men are now on hand and
are trying out for second base to fill
the vacancy caused by Van Houten's
absence, while Tatom is keeping the
wires hot this afternoon In an effort
to land Emerlck or Otto Moore or
some other catcher with equal repu
tation. With the acquisition of a good

Chicago, June 18. "We can fight
well If we fight right. It is Impera
tive such a plank should go Into the
platform." (Signed) Wm. Taft.
This message fromTaft was read
before the resolutions committee today
and followed by this one: "I stand
for a square deal, not according to
extremists, neither for the manufac
turers' assertions, nor those of the
trade unions. (Signed) Theodore
Roosevelt."
The committee thereupon, after a
long, tedious session, and much strug
gling for and against, settled the ques
tion of an anti-Injunction plank and
voted that It go Into the platform, the
ballot showing 35 ayes and 16 nays.
Platform Reported.
The resolution committee reported
the platform to the convention short
ly after It convened. The platform
follows:
"Once more the republican party in
convention assembled, submits the
cause of the people. This great his
toric organization that destroyed
slavery, preserved the Union, restored
credit, expanded the national domain,
established a sound financial system,
developed our Industries and resour
ces, and gave to the American nation
seat of honor in the councils of the
.world, now meets the new problems
of government with the same courage,
and capacity with which it solved the
old.
"In this greatest era of American
dvancement the republican party has
reached its highest service under the
leadership of President Roosevelt. In
no other period since national sov-
reluty was won under Washington,
or preserved under Lincoln, has such
mighty progress been made by the
American nation and the highest as
pirations of the American public has
found voice In the republican party.
Conscience and courage in public
station has reached the highest stan
dards and to right the wrongs of pri
vate life became the cardinal princi
ples o fits political faith.
'Capital and labor have been
brought Into closer relations, while
the abuse of wealth and all the evils
of privilege and favoritism have been
put to scorn by the virtues of. Justice
find fair play.
Praise for President.
"These are great accomplishments
of Roosevelt, who has been first,
foremost and brave in the Impartial
enforcement of laws. His prosecu
tions of Illegal trusts, monopolies and
exposure and punishment of evil do
ers In public service has resulted Ini
more effective regulation of rates for
for the service of the 'great transpor
tation lines and complete overthrow
of preferences for arbitration of la
bor disputes and the amelioration of
the condition o fthe workers of the
country. He has also arranged for
the conservation of our national re
sources and taken a forward step in
the Improvement of our inland water
ways. "We declare unfaltering adherence
to the policies Inaugurated and pledge
the party to their continuance under
a republican administration of gov
ernment. '
America nas Prospered.
"Under the guidance of republican
principles the American people have
become the richest nation in the
world. The United States now owns
one-fourth the world's wealth, makes
one-third the mod'ern manufactured
produce and yet the great natural
wealth of the country Is scarcely
touched.
"With gratitude for God's bounty,
with pride In the splendid produc
tiveness of the past and confidence
that there will be plenty and prosper
ity In the future, the republican party
declares for the principle that In de
velopment the enjoyment of wealth
will be so great and blessings so be
nign that there be equal opportunity
for all.
"Nothing so clearly demonstrates
the sound basis upon which the com
mercial, lndustrla 1 and agricultural
Interests are founded and the necessity
of promoting their continued welfare
through the operations of republican
the nation through the financial dis
turbance, which, if it had happened
In the midst of democratic rule, might
have equalled the familiar democrat
ic panics. In the past.
'We congratulate the people upon
the renewed evidence of American
supremacy and hail with confidence
the manifest Bigns of complete res
toration of business prosperity in all
lines of trade, commerce and manu
facturing, notwithstanding the Inde
fensive filibustering of the demo-
cratlc minority In the house of rep
resentatives, during the last session
of congress. Many wholesome and .
progressive laws were enacted.
"We 'especially commend the pas-
sage of the emergency currency bill,
the appointment of a national mone
tary commission, the employers' gov
ernment liability laws, the measures
looking to the greater efficiency or
the American army, the navy and
widows' pension bill, the child labor
law for the District of Columbia, new -statutes
providing for the safety of
railroad engineers and firemen, and
many other acts concerning the pub- -He
welfare.
For Tariff Revision.
"The republican party declares un-"--equivocally
for revision of tariff
schedules. We favor the establish-.,
ment of maximum and minimum rates
to be administered by the president
under the limitations of a fixed law. .
the maximum rates to be available
to meet discrimination by foreign i
countries against American goods en tering
their markets, the minimum i
rates to represent the normal meas
ure of protection for home Industries.
"The aim and purpose of the re
publican party will be, not only to
preserve without excessive duties that
security against foreign competition ,
to which American manufacturers, .
farmers and producers are entitled,
but also to malntalna high standard
of living for the wage earnr here and.
in the Philippines. To that end we
believe in a free Interchange of pro
ducts with such limitations as to su
gar and tobacco as will afford ade
quate protection to domestic Inter
ests.
Emergency Measures Approved.
"We approve the emergency meas
ures adopted by congress during th.
recent financial disturbance, and es
pecially commend the passage of a
law designed to protect the country
from a repetition of the money strin
gency. The republican party is com-
mitted to the development of a per
manent currency system, responding. -to
our greater needs. The apportion
ment of. a national monetary com mis- -slon
by the present congress after Im
partially Investigating all the propos- -ed
methods. Insures an early realiza
tion' " For this purpose the , present
currency laws are fully Justified by
their adoption, but the expanding of
commerce, the marvelous growth of
wealth and population, the multipli
cation of centers of distribution, the
Increasing demand for movement of
crops in the west and south, entailing
periodical changes In monetary con
ditions, discloses the need of a more -elastic
and adaptable system of cur
rency. Automatic System. .
Such a system must be automatic
in its operation, minimizing the fluc
tuations In interests- and rates and
above all, must be in harmony with
the republican doctrine, which Insists
that every dollar be based upon a
value as good as gold:
"We favor the establishment of
postal savings banks as a system for
the convenience of the people and
the encouragement of thrift.
"The republican party passed the
Sherman anti-trust law ovr dmo
cratic opposition and enforced It af- -ter
democratic dereliction. It has .
been a wholesome instrument for .
good in the hands of a wise and fear- -less
administration, but experlenr.tr
has shown Its effectiveness can be
strengthened,. Its real objects better
attained by such amendments as
will give rne federal government
greater supervision and control ovet
and greater publicity in- the- man- .
