A lone corn field in the park's limits was watched for the rain’s effect, but as the field is in the river bottom where there is still good moisture, the corn did not even bat an eye when the rain fell.

FOR SOCIALISTIC UNION
DELEGATE CONVENTION MEETS AT MASONIC HALL,
THREE ELEMENTS PRESENT
Hope for Socialist Nationalism and Great Progress In the Next National Campaign—Prof. Herron Temporary Chairman.
The Socialist unity convention; that Is expected to lay the foundation for socialist nationalism, met this morning In Masonic Hall. About ISO men and half a dosen women were present. Many of the delegates were those who attended the Social Democratic convention that met at Reichweln’s Hall here In March. 1900, and nominated Debs for the presi lency. The convention made little progress In the morning session, which, however, afforded the delegates an opportunity to get acquainted. The most conspicuous ones were much sought and acquaintance with them broadened to full comradeship, as all members of socialistic societies are "comrades.” Comrade George D. Herron, formerly a Congregational minister, and a professor in an Iowa College, attracted the most attention. He Is a dark visaged man. with a beard like John Philip Sousa’s, and a voice of sonorous fullness. Comrade C. G. Clemens, of Topeka, Kas., a big man, with hair much Ilk* his distinguished brother Samuel, known sn literature as Mark Twain, was an object of search among the delegates, who almost stumbled over the diminutive Comrade Walter Thomas Mills, of Chicago, Democrat, who Is remember* the speech he made at Tomlinson Hall In 1897, when here with Carter Harrison and the Cook County Democracy. Comrade Mills Is ilad In linen, i and preceded several Inches by gray burpsldes of considerable length. Delegates looked everywhere for comrade H. Gaylor Wtlshire, of Los Angeles, Cal., known among the sections as “the millionaire socialist," whq publishes a socialist paper, and Is a financial aid to the propaganda, but he had not come. Neither had Comrade Eugene V. Debs, the idol of th* Social Democrats, who telegraphed his good wishes. Comrade Job Harriman, a native of Indiana, candidate with Debs last year, and a recognised leader of the “kangaroo" faction of the Socialist Labor party, was always surrounded by a group. Comrades Victor Berger, of Milwaukee; J. F- Carey, or Haverhill, Mass., and others* were objects of interest.
Chairman Herron’a Speech.
The convention was called to order by J. W. Kelley, of Marion. Ind. Mr. Kelley’s duties were purely perfunctory. He spoke briefly In favor of unification, and said socialism reflected the only ray of hope for the workingman. He asked for a nominee for temporary chairman, and comrade Herron was chosen by acclamation. In taking the chair he said he found nowhere nobler and less selfish men than In the socialistic movement. He said it did not need leaders to take care of the movement, but men whom the movement will take care of. He saiu the delegates had come to nationalize the socialist movement. So far as he was concerned, he declared, no matter what his personal views as to organisation or method were, the decision of the convention was final with him, and he proposed to give all that he could of his life to it for the emancipation of the workingman. This speech was cheered, and Philip Brown, of Chicago, was chosen by sc?!„T a 2S , ( »*Vl c SS3'. spk

elded to adjourn until 3 p. m., to let the following committees complete their
work:
Rules—Springfield party, Harriman and Ryan, California; Chicago party, Stedman, of Chicago, and Seidl, of Milwaukee; independent, Dobbs, of Louisville. Credentials—Springfield party, Richter, of Milwaukee; Hllqulth, of New York; Hays, of Cleveland, and Greenbaum, of St. Louis. Chicago party, Westphal, of Chicago; Wlnchefskl, of New York; Elisabeth Thomas, of Milwaukee, and Bennesl, of Kalamasoo, Mich. Independent, Robinson, of Louisville, and Ja-
cobs, of Iowa.
The designations "Springfield,” "Chicago" and "Independent describe, according to the convention’s distinctions, the three elements. The Chicago party Is that which malhtalned the national executive committee at Chicago during the last campaign, and the Springfield party is the one that separated and managed the Eastern campaign in its own way. Representative Carey says the Springfield headquarters were opened because, while all agreed as to candidates and principles, they differed as to organisation, and not wrlsnlng to waste time quarreling, established their own center of agitation. The Independents are those not affiliating with either of the other factions. The purpose of these elements Is to form a close organization, with one set of principles. With that formed, they hope to accomplish union with the Socialist Labor party of New York, otherwise known as the De Leonlsts. All the Socialists except tbe De Leonlsts indorse trades unions, and on this point of difference the solution of entire unification hinges. The two Immediate questions which this convention must deal with are organisation and platform, and neither will admit of a mistake. Both are subject to
referendary vote.
The Next Big Campaign.
Job Harriman says the socialist party Is well prepared for the next campaign If Its unification takes place. He says 190,000 votes were cast for socialist candidates for President last year. He also says the socialists will receive large accessions from elements of the Democratic and Republican parties, but particularly from those of the Democrats who were more “advanced’ than the party. The party has no expedient, he says, except

this afternoon. It will continue. If expectations are correct, four or five days. Among the delegates are two colored men and one man, Santiago Iglesale. from Porto Rico. Iglesais says the socialist movement Is new in his Island, but has made considerable progress. He thinks It Is a good place to practice so-
cialism.
Many delegates to the convention attach great Importance to the fact that th* representation Is composed of men of American stock in the proportion of at least three to one. “Socialism In America,” said one delegate, “is stigmatized as an exotic and Its advocates as European emigres, but the representation here refutes this idea. Socialism Is the inevitable accompaniment of the highly developed capitalistic society and its advocates are those who are devoted to the ideal of democracy. We hold that the full liberty of the citizen. essenOal to a democracy, la Impossible in a society where the means of production are controlled by a minority class and the presence In the socialist movement of vigorous young men of good old American stock Is evidence that they believe that only through socialism can the democratic Ideal be
realized.’’ ; .. v . v .
THE D. A. JENNINGS CASE. A trended Complaint Filed in Suit
Against Salem Citizens.

urt to-day. The case comes from
./ashlngton county, and owing to unusual allegations of Jennings It attracted wide attention whan it was filed last winter. In Its amended form the com-
plaint covers j^of Ttartllng^'d
sensational allegations. Jennings charges that by termarriages at Salem the SSLfSfJ ■ I
reason of inplace has be-
and that the defendants suit control tbe social, mu-
nicipal, religious and fraternal Institutions and organizations. From the complaint, H seems that hta trouble grew out of the fact that ha owned a paper—the Salem Democrat and that he refused to run It In the Interest of the defendants whom he accuses of persecuting him thereafter atrociously. He was mobbed, he says, and libeled through an opposition paper In charge of tbe defendants and the end of It all. he aaya, Is that his property and health are gone. He also chargee that an eftort was made to alienate his wife’s affections and that she was induced to leave him and remain away for some time. The amended complaint contains a correspondence that one of the defendant* la said to have carried on anonymously with his wife for the purpose of keeping her from him. When the case came up for preliminary hearing before Judge Baker, he ruled that the plaintiff should file his complaint In paragraphs. The plaintiffs' attorneys, W. V. Hooker, C. T. Hanna and T. A.

DISPENSARY EMPLOYES THEIR TESTIMONY.
GIVE
ACTED UNDER INSTRUCTIONS
Th* Dispensary Physicians Yet to b* Heard—Justice of th* Peace Lockman's Part in tha Insanity Inquests. *
Thomas Delaney, ambulance driver, and Elisabeth Cronnon, dispensary matron, to-day told Dr. Frank A. Morrison, president of the health board, under oath, that they acted under Instructions from Justice of the Peace Lockman and physicians connected with the City Dispensary when they promiscuously made affidavits charging dispensary patients with Insanity. Dr. Morrison, after receiving the recommendations of Attorney-General Taylor and the report of his deputy, C. C. Hadley, thoroughly examined the records pertaining to the cases mentioned. Then he called the ambulance driver and the matron before him and asked them about their connection with the Insanity Inquest "trust." He asked Delaney how he happened to make the affidavits. "When a person comes to the dispensary and acts peculiar," said Delaney, “the justice Is called. He directs some one of us to make the affidavits, saying It Is onr duty, that the physicians are not allowed to make affidavits We asked him, and he told Mrs. Cronnon and me it made no difference how many we made. He raid it waj| perfectly legal and right, in response to*the same question. Justices Stout and Smock gave similar answers." Then Matron Cronnon was asked how she happened to appear as affiant In the John Ross case, in which tbe agitation against the "trust" originated. She raid Dr. J. B. Young and Justice Lockman lequested her to come to Lockman a office and there directed her to make the affidavit. She also said dispensary physicians often Instruct her and Delaney to go to homes of patients thought to be demented; to examine them and make the affidavit. The doctors said they were not allowed. Directed by W. 8. Lockman. In regard to the numerous stationhouse cases In which she made affidavits, she said it was Invariably under direction of Justice Lockman and Police Surgeon W. F. Christian. They told her to go In and examine female prisoners suspected of Insanity and make the affidavit. She considered it her duty, she said. She declared she had never been In any "pool" of Insanity fees. Superintendent Benham, of the dispensary, was present during the Interview. He said that once In hls hearing, when Justice Lockman was asked If these proceedings were regular, Lockman answered In the affirmative, and added: "I am It, and what I say goes." President Morrison’s inquiry Into the matron’s and driver’s cases covered the entire period named In Deputy Hadley’s report, but it was only In one or two specific cases where they remembered definitely who asked them to make the affidavit; that Is. whether It was the justice or one of the doctors. Their testimony referred generally to all the cases. Dr. Morrison's Investigation of the records showed that since the new Internes have taken office they have served in nine cases. All of these were prior to the John Ross case. They have not been responsible for any since that date—June 36. In the nine cases, seven of the patients were held to be sane by examining physicians also connected with the dispensary. The City Hospital internes have served in few cases, and all of them were regular, Dr. Morrison aay*> Dr. Morrison had not .sufficient dime this morning to examine the dispensary physicians, but he will do so without delay, he says. The affidavits will be presented to the Board of Health. Tha Board of State Charities. Governor Durbin expected, late this afternoon, to lay before the Board of State Charities, in regular session, the report of Attorney-General Taylor on the “Insanity trust," In which the board, of which the Governor Is ex-officio president, Is asked to make an investigation of the four Insane hospitals with a view to ascertaining whether any of tbe patients therein are sane. T. E. Ellison, of Ft. Wayne, a member, said if the board made the investigation suggested by the Attorney-General, It would have to take the word of the superintendents of the hospitals. It could not make a personal investigation Of the Individual patients. Demarchus C. Brown, of Irvington, expressed a similar view. From what the members said it was regarded as probable that the board would act favorably on the Attorney-General’s suggestion. COUNciL MUST DECIDE. Whether North Weet Street Shall Have Asphalt or Block. Charges that the Board of Works Is unduly partial to asphalt pavements are again being made by property owners. The question has been revived by the board's action in the proposed Improvement of North West street. A resolution for asphalt was adopted some time ago, but when a petition for block, bearing names of a majority of the property owners, was filed, all action on It was rescinded. Later another resolution for asphalt was adopted. It is on this one that the present controversy has
arisen.
A petition signed by -forty property owners and asking for a wooden block pavement was filed to oppose it Onl twenty-eight of the fifty-eight owners fected by the improvement are said to
favor asphalt.
Representatives of the forty "blockltes" have appeared before the board several times recently and demanded block.

A Young Woman's Strange Actions. A well-dressed and pretty woman, twenty-three years old, was taken to the police station early this morning from the Spencer House, by patrolmen Spearing. She came to the city on one of the midnight trains, from a small town In West Virginia, and stopped for the night In the hotel. She acted so strangely that the police were notified, and when Spearing reached her room on the third floor she imagined four men were in the room. While talking. she seised a pitcher of water and dashed It against the wall. The patrolman concluded that she was Insane, and an Investigation will be made.

PENTECOST BANDS* WORK. Ready to Pray for Anyone — $6,000 Raised for Missionaries. The Pentecost bands are worxing hard, day and night, at their camp-meeting at Pennsylvania and Thirty-fourth streets. Their work is singing and praying and they apparently never tire. If a man wishes to be prayed with or for they will pray for him .and If there is any chance of its doing him any good they will stick to It until he receives that good. They will also pray for a man when he does not wish It If they think he needs It. Sunday in their hardest day, for in addition to the regular attendants of the services there are many hundred sinners to try to wean from thetr ways. Not that there are no sinners among the Pentecosters, although one of their women said in her address that It is possible to get eo good that the slips that one makes ere rather mistakes than sins. However, when the public Is poorly represented the Pentecoaters pray for themselves as hard os If they were the only sinners In the world. The most eventful occurrence yesterday was the raising of $8,000 at the morning meeting. This is not to build a church. It is to pay the expenses of a dozen young missionaries, who will leave for foreign lands as soon as they can get ready. They were ordained at the afternoon meeting, yesterday, by a simple ceremony. Letter from Governor-General Taft. Merrill Moores, Assistant AttorneyGeneral, to-day received a letter from W. H. Taft. Governor-General of the Philippine Islands, In which Mr. Taft says Insurrection now exists in only four provinces of the Islands, and that he does not think It unreasonable for him to expect that In these provinces the Insurrection will soon die out. Mr. Moores and Mr. Taft were college chums at Yale.

SALT LAKE. Utah. July 29-Capt. Thomas F. Schley, eldest son of Admiral Winfield 8. Schley, who Is stationed at Fort Douglas, has outlined some points that will be brought out In the court of Inquiry as to his father’s conduct at the battle of Santiago. He declares startling facts will be brought to light. *‘i have just written to my father,” said Captain Schley^ “that I thought he ought to tpare nobody, and that he should withhold none of the facts in hls possession about Admiral Sampson or anybody else. “When the court of inquiry meets," said Captain Schley. "I would like to have tne privilege of asking Admiral Sampson just one question: ’If the battle of Santiago had resulted in defeat, to whom would the blame be attached?’ This, I think, tells the situation in a nutshell. If Admiral Schley had lost the battle he would have been blamed. He won it, and he should have credit. "My father has several strong cards up hls aleeve, and I trust he will make use of them all." Young Schley says his father has a letter from Sampson, ordering him to take exactly the course he did.

BAPTISTS GO HOME. Chicago Convention Closed with Big
Meeting Sunday.
(Special Correspondence of Indianapolis New*.] CHICAGO. July 39.—The eleventh International Baptist Young People's convention closed at Chicago yesterday, with great enthusiasm. This organisation was effected in Chicago ten years ago, and began with twenty-nine hundred delegates. During the intervening years It has had an attendance varying from three thousand to thirteen thousand, but this year the attendance was not more than four thousand, not counting the Chicago attendance. Although the meeting was not as large as in recent years. It was one of the best ever held. The direct, responsible head is the general secretary and the editor of the Young People’s paper. the Baptist Union. For the first time in the history of the organization these positions are only temporarily filled, or have an acting secretary and editor. Dr.-J. W. Conley filling the first place and the Rev. W. H. Gelstwelt the second. The money to conduct this work is obtained from the profits of the Young Peole’s paper, and the contributions of the oung People's societies. From the paper this year 933.SHu.7D waa received, from sup-

had a debt of -920.000 one year ago, and this was reduced to about 917,000. A large part of this debt was made by the pu chase of a paper from the American Ba

tist Publication Society of Philadelphia. There are some unpaid pledges that will reduce this debt to about 914,000. The invoice of the publishing plant shows assets of something more than 930,000. Cue of the greatest things accomplished by this organization is the fact that It has united the elements of the denomination as no other agency has done since the war of rebellion. Sunday was a great day, and the leading Chicago pulpits were filled by tho most popular Baptist preachers of the country. The closing meeting was tn the Colloeura Sunday night, when not less than 10,000 people were present. U. M. CHAILLIE.
NEELY CASE WITNESSES. Their Examination in This City by Commissioner Moores. Charles W. Moores was asked to-day how he Intends to conduct the examination of witnesses here In the case of C. F. W. Neely, the Cuban exploiter. "The commission comes to me," was the answer, “because I am United States commissioner. My duty Is to take preliminary examinations In United States cases. I am not at liberty to say who the witnesses will be, or whether the examination"'will bo public. I was notified on Saturday of my nnpnlntment to take testimony. It will be an inquiry similar in character to the Investigation which a grand Jury gives, and the character of the evidence may be such that a public hearing would be undesirable. The subpenas sent out to witnesses are for them to appear to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock at my office tn the Lemcke Building."
