AN ADVANCE GUARD

ENTERING CHICAGO !I Progressive Hosts Begin to Arrive for the Progressive Convention. (National News Association) CHICAGO, July 30. The advance guard of the politicians and newspaper correspondents for the National Progressive convention have arrived in Chicago. At the Congress Hotel where the headquarters of the new party are located there is faint revival of the busy days that preceded the Republican National convention. Politicians stand in little groups in the hotel corridors or hurry to the party headquarters. In the headquarters the clerks are busy with the usual convention grind. More politicians are expected today and tomorrow and on Thursday most of the bigger men of the movement will arrive. Theo. Roosevelt himself, head of the new party, is now expected to get here on Thursday and from the minute of his arrival the days will be busy. Whether the former president will attend the state convention of the Progressives has not been fully decided. Many of the state leaders are anxious to have him do so, but there is a feeling on the part of others that his appearance should be reserved for the national convention itself. Plans to make his appearance at the Coliseum Impressive have been well mapped out. His speech, in order not to conflict with the keynote address of Albert J. Beveridge, the temporary chairman, will be delivered at a,' special session held on Monday night. This was ' decided by the arrangement committee after a careful canvass of the situation. , While the former president is speak- j ing the faces of other former presidents will be smiling down upon him. The arrangement committee had a long and earnest consultation over the decorations. It was decided since this "was to be a new party representing Progressive thinking that the big leaders of the older parties should be given place. It was decided also that President Taft's picture should not be hung. Those whose , .portraits will adorn the wall are George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson , and Alexander Hamilton. Roosevelt's . ' picture will also be given a conspicuous place. Distribution of tickets to the convention will begin Friday., ; It has been announced that the seat sale has been more than ample to cover the expenses of the committee. More vice-presidential booms were exhibited by the Progressives here today. One labeled with the name of Luke E. Wright of Tenn., attracted the most attention. It was gossiped about the hotel corridor that Wright would probably get the place if It went to a southern Democrat. Beveridge is also talked of for the second place on the ticket and Gov. Stubbs of Kansas and Gov. Johnson of California have been added to the list. , For soreness of the muscles, whether induced by violent exercises or inJury, there is nothing better than Chamberlain'3 Liniment.

Heat Endangers Lives f - of Elderly Folks? StCKness ana misery roiiow Inattention to the & t Minor Ills. Older people should be especially careful of their health during the hot months, as high temperature has a peculiarly enervating effect that tends to disarrange the entire digestive system. The slightest indiscretion in diet is almost sure to be followed by bowel trouble and indigestion, but if care is taken to keep the bowels open by using a gentle laxative stimulent at the first sign of any irregularity, a great deal of the misery and distress can be avoided. Strong, harsh and drastic physics should be avoided because of the shock to the system following their use. Ad excellent laxative, and one that is easy and natural in its effect on the stomach, bowels and liver, is found in Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, a compound of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is pleasant to the taste and positive in its action. By cleansing the bowel tract and removing the foreign matter that irritates and inflames the tissue, a dose of Syrup Pepsin will quickly check the summer diarrhoea that is so prevalent. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is sold in drug stores for fifty cents a bottle; large, family size, one dollar. A free trial bottle will be sent, postpaid, if you will write to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 406 Washington street, Monticello, Illinois. STARTS INVESTIGATION Committee to Investigate Phone Rates. The city council committee which was recently selected by the mayor, to make an investigation as to the justification of the Richmond Home Telephone company increasing the yearly rentals on phones, met for the first time last night. Plans were formulated and the investigation will start immediately. Councilman Matt. Von Pein is chairman of the committee. There is a clause in the franchise of the Telephone company which provides that the company may increase the rates any time after three thousand subscribers have been secured. Under the original resolution by the terms of which this committee was empowered to act, it was particularly charged that the investigation should include the number of subscribers, the number of paid subscribers and the reasons for the increase in rates. It is contended on the part of the Telephone officials that the more subscribers and phones in the city the greater the expense, while it is contended by council that the greater the number of phones, the cheaper the rates should be. JACK JOHNSON IS ON RETIRED LIST (National News Association) CHICAGO, July 30. Champion Jack Johnson has retired. The negro heavyweight ended his ring career at midnight last night. Asserting that he was disgusted with the game and that he had given every flghter entitled to it a chance, he voluntarily moved up the date of his retirement which had been announced to take place on Labor day. No more fights. Jack is adamant on that proposition. Even a hundred thousand big shiny dollars couldn't tempt him into a pair of gloves again for a real fight, he said. "They won't let me fight a white man in New York and there's too much red tape connected with the snorter bouts, I've got all I can get out of the game now. Let the others fight it out among themselves," he A GENERAL STRIKE IS THREATENED NOW (National News Association) DULUTH, Minn., July 30. A general strike of all dock employes threatens shippers here. The strike is urged by the stevedores who went out a week ago. The stevedores are members of the Industrial Workers of the World and this organization is said to be behind the movement for a general strike. The strike if called, would affect about 1,500 men and would tie up navigation at this end of the lake. A sympathetic strike of Superior freight handlers has been called. It is feared that, package-carrying boats will be tied here causing a congestion that will be felt at all lake ports. TELEPHONE PROBE MADE BY COUNCIL The councilmanic telephone Investigating committee held a meeting at the offices of the local telephone company last evening. Several minor points in regard to the extent of the company's franchise rights and privileges were discussed and noted. The committee decided that the telephone patrons have no authority to protest against the raise in telephone rates effective a few weeks ago, unless it can be proven that the telephone company has less than 3,000 subscribers, the requisite number to enable it, by its franchise rights, to make the raise. The committee will have another meeting soon at the call of chairman Von Pein. BEGINS WORK SOON President of the board of workselect B. A.

STORY TOLD BY TRIBUNE Chicago Paper Says that Land Was Given Railroad, Then Transferred to a Land Company. (National Newa Association) CHICAGO, July 30. The Tribune today printed the following -Washington dispatch, written by John Callen O'Laughlin, staff correspondent for the Tribune: On May 9, 1912, the commissioner of the land office issued a patent for 15,040 acres of government land near Prescott, Arizona, to the Sante Fe Railroad company, which in turn transferred the property to the Arizona Land and Irrigation company, of which former-congressman James E. Watson, of Indiana, is president. Mr. Watson worked energetically for Taft delegates from Indiana during the preliminary campaign some weeks prior to the favorable action of the land office. The Republican national committee assembled in Chicago on June 5, and Mr. Watson sat with a proxy on that body. His vote was always cast for the Taft contestants. From the platform also he defended the action of the national committee and the credentials committee in connection with the seating of the Taft delegates from California and other states throughout the proceedings. He made the motion to lay on the table and thus killed the minority report recommending the seating of the Roosevelt delegates. The Santa Fe made application on ADril 14. 1911. to exchange 52,610 acres on the Moqui Indian reservation in Arizona for 52,032 acres near Prescott, Arizona, under the so-called Indian exchange act of 1904. The law permits a government land grant railroad to trade lands given it by the government for other government land, provided it be of an equivalent value. To avoid the delay incident to the Homestead act, parties buy land from a road and induce the road to exchange it for the property desired. This was the proceedure followed by the Watson company. Government experts were sent to inspect the tracts offered in exchange for the railroad land. These tracts were scattered. The government experts recommended against the exchange of 6,135 acres on the grounds that this property was of greater value than the railroad land; 612 acres because they were not contiguous tracts, and 2,982 acres on account of mineral deposits. The rest of the land, amounting to 27,000 acres, had been examined, and the commissioner of the land office now is considering whether or not to grant the patent desired in the first instance by the Santa Fe railroad. The land matter is not the only one the Watson company had had before the land office. Under the act of March 3, 1891, granting irrigation rights involving the use of government lands John Duke filed application for a righ of way for a division canal from a point on Granite creek in the Fort Whipple Military reservation, Arizona, traversing public land to a reservoir, partly on public land, known as the Willow Creek storage company. Subsequently the Watson company filed application for the same right sought by Duke, as well as for certain distributing canals to convey water to the land to be irrigated, and another storage reservoir partly on public land. The district land office at Phoenix, Arizona, was directed to order a hearing in the matter to determine priority of claims and if the claim made are bona fide. Final action will not be taken according to officials of the land office until the records of the hearing have been received. It is asserted that in the Watson company's case the land office has followed nearly the procedure authorized by law which has been observed in hundreds of .Qther cases. It is admit ted there was a departure from the usual routine in that it is not customary when an application for exchange involves several separate tracts to grant patent on one before all have been examined. Only in a single other case has this been done. The fact that Mr. Watson was a partisan of the President, of course, was known to the land office but it is declared Mr. Taft did not display any interest in the matter.

POST OFFICE NOT HAVEN FOR LOVERS

Postmaster Haas, Following His Complaint, Receives Orders from U. S. Use of the local post office as a "lover's roost," and general spoonery, will not be permitted by Uncle Sam. Postmaster Haas recently wrote to the departmental heads at Washington, stating that the indiscriminate use of the general delivery by young men and women was being made the means of clandestine love affairs. Mr. Haas asked the course he should pursue in stopping these affairs. Today he received the following orders: Office of First Asst. P. M. Gen., Washington, July 23, 1912. The attention of postmasters at offices having city-carrter service is called to paragraph 2, Section 713, Postal Laws and Regulations, compliance with which should- prevent the improper use of the general delivery by residents. Postmasters at such offices may require all persons supposed to be residents to furnish in writing their names and addresses and statements of their reasons for preferring to be served at the general delivery. Minors calling at such offices may be requested to furnish the information indicated above, and also the names of their parents, in order that the parents may be notified and have an opportunity to control the delivery of the mall to the extent authorized by Section 643, Postal Laws and Regulations. Postmasters at offices not having city carrier service may notify the parents of minors in all instances where it appears that the minors are calling at the general delivery for mail under objectionable circumstances. Section 625, Postal Laws and Regulations, should be carefully observed in cases where fictitious names are used. General-delivery clerks should be instructed to use their best judgment and to submit to the postmaster any case concerning which they are in doubt. C. P. GRANFIELD. First Asst. P. M. Gen. LEAVES FDR CHICAGO Local Trio Secures a Two Years' Engagement. The friends of Mrs. Kolp. Miss Elizabeth Kolp and Mr. Peter Llchtenfels, who inaugurated their entrance into vaudeville with a dancing act at; the Murray this summer, will be interested in knowing that the three have been engaged by the well known vaudeville producer, Menlo Moore, of Chicago, for a two years' engagement. They will go to Chicago shortly, to rehearse and will later be in Chicago for five weeks and then go on to New York. The act is an elaborate one and includes ten children or very young people with several grownups and, in addition to the part Mrs. Kolp will take, the direction of the children's dancing will be put in her charge. Mrs. Kolp regrets leaving her dancing classes, which she has conducted for the past twenty years, and through which she has taught the terpsichorean art to the majority of the present generation in this city, but feels that the larger field offers her daughter ail herself an opportunity they cannot afford to refuse. That this long time engagement is highly complimentary to the dancing art of both Mrs. and Miss Kolp and Mr. Llchtenfels, goes without saying, and is a fulfillment of the predictions made when they appeared here for the first time.

A COUNCIL PROBE

EDWARDS CASE Councilman Evans to Ask for Investigation at Meeting Monday. Officer Leroy Edwards, who handed in his resignation yesterday, today refused to make any further statements explaining his action, or to name any of the men whom he said yesterday, he intended to "get." "What's done is done, and can't be undone." said Edwards today. But the implied charges against city officials who Edwards does not name, may be investigated. Councilman Evans today stated that he would ask council for an investigation. He stated that if there was anything wrong he thought council should know about it. Friday night the police department will take up the matter of Edward's resignation. It will probably be accepted. Joseph Betzold, police commissioner, this morning said that he had nothing to say In the matter, and other police officials are as non-communicative. Edwards states he will continue as a resident here, but has no plans made.
