i
CONVENTION HOLDS TWO BRIEF
SESSIONS FRIDAY
WAITING FOR REPORTS
Police and Convention Officials Keep
Tab on Situation, Fearing Attempt
of ltoosevelt Forces to Gain Possession
of Hull, Tumultuous Crowd
Finally Forced to Leave.
Five minutes was the entire duration
of the two sessions of the Republican
National Convention Friday,
with a recess of four hours between.
The first session convened at noon,
lasted four minutes; the second one
minute.
The afternoon session was remarkable
for the extraordinary con- '
ditions which ensued upon its ad- 1
journment. Almost with the fall of 1
Chairman Root's gavel there broke i
out a pandemonium of cheering,
which lasted almost as long as that 1
of Thursday. (
It. had scarcely a definite cause, [
though its immediate occasion was
the effort of a man in the west gallery
to swing the great gathering into J
unison with the cry "we want Teddy"
It started all right, but almost immediately
the LaFollette, Hadley and 1
Cummins enthusiasts began an oppo- :
sition turmoil, with the result that
within less than a minute there was
simply one meaningless choas of '
noise.
Presently a group of men in the 1
south gallery, back of the platform, 1
brought four or five megaphones into
play with "wo want Teddy!" A
smashing rain storm was in progress
outside; so the people simply stood
where they were and shouted, each
to his taste. '
Under cover of the racket and at 1
first unnoticed by the crowd, there
began to gather on the platform a
body of big policemen until finally
Home twenty were present. And they
were under personal command of Assistant
Chief Schuottler.
Then it began to be noticed that
Chairman Root, Secretary Gleason,
Sergeant-at-Arms Stone and his assistant,
Col. Thayer, had never left
the platform at all. And the crowd
began to understand the reason for
this conspicuous show of force.
The crowd which waited for the
storm to cease was good humored,
but it was a situation full of possibilities
and the Convention officials
were taking no chances. Assistant
Chief Schuettler was loath to turn
the people out into the storm.
So, for more than an hour the police
guard surrounded the platform
and tho Convention officers kept their
places on the stage, while the great
crowd yelled itself tired. At last the
rain began to slacken and the police

edging the people out. l*y tha.t time
they were ready to go.
The ostensible reason for the recess
was the fact that the credentials
committee, at work upon tho contests
affecting the personnel of the Convention,
had only fairly begun its
work.
The only welcoming applause Friday
morning was for William Jennings
Bryan, who is reporting the
Convention for a number of newspapers.
As Mr. Bryan moved to his seat in
?the press section of the platform several
persons in the gallery cried, '
"Speech!" "speech!" Mr. Bryan smil.
ed.
Scarcely any notice was taken of
the arrival of Chairman Root, who
stood for a moment the target of a
battery of photographers. ,
After the noon adjournment Mr.
Bryan held an informal reception in
the press section. People waited in
a long line to shake hands with Mr.
tB-ryan, who wrote his autograph for
;any on$ who requested it.
Col, Roosevelt an,d Senator Dixon
conferredJifter the morning adjournment
and "when they concluded their
discussipn Mr. Roosevelt was rushed
through the crowd at the hotel to his
luncheon room and Senator Dixon announced
the conclusion that had been
iuatuvui
''Wo will not recognize the legality
of this so-called Republican Convention
until it purges itself of stolen
delegates, enumerated in Clovernor
Hartley's motion of Thursday.
"The nomination for President already
has been made. The American
people have named Theodore Roosevelt
and elected a majority of more
than 100 delegates to this convention.
These delegates must bo recognized
or we will not recognize the Convention
as the regular Convention of the
Republican party."
"If the Convention does not unseat
the 7 8 delegates what will happen?"
"That will come later. We will
await developments on this before
taking any further action," replied
Dixon.
Col. Roosevelt arranged for a private
conference with his leaders iinanedlately
after luncheon. Not all the
delegates will be admitted.

I LYON GOES FOR EVANS
ICHARGES HIM WITH BEING GUIL- <
TY OF FORGERY.
?
An Incident of the Campaign Meeting
Held at Bishopville on East
Wednesday. *
At the I3isliopville campaign meeting
011 Wednesday 13. B. Evans was
the first speaker. His renewal of
graft charges mado two years ago and
at Sumter yesterday against the Murray
dispensary commission elicited
from the attorney general the promised
commentary upon Evan's career.
Mr. Evans repeated his charge that
dispensary records had seen judged
and a deiicit of approximately $40,000
covered up beneath the term
"capital account".
13y way of advance reply to Mr.
Lyon's threatened revelation, he
gave his own version of his career.
He ascribed to ill will against him on
the part of "that thief, B. F. Sample"
sheriff of Saluda county, the finding 1
of indictments against him in that <
county for forgery and declared the
forgery charge to be false.
He said that this prosecution was 1
qualified by Judge Shipp when the ]
case came on for trial and his lawyer
an that occasion was J. William 1
Thurmond now campaign manager 1
for Ira B. Jones. Evans also recall- 1
cd the fact that in Columbia be had
been tried for murder and acquitted, <
because he said his friend worried by <
domestic troubles, came to his room
and with his pistol committed suicide. '
"My life," said Evans, "has always i
been an open book, there is no man
or woman I can not face. If any
man or woman has knowledge of
anything tending to show a dishonorable
act in my record, let him or her 1
rise and point it out, and I will brand 1
her as a defamer, him as a liar, or die
in the attempt.
J. Eraser I.yon after reviewing his
work in showing up dispensary grafters
and after saying he deplored the i
necessity of exposing Evans, proceeded
to read a certified copy of one of
the two indictments for forgery found
against Evans in Saluda county and
to mention other charges made
against Evans.
He said that Evans some years
ago hypothecated at the Carolina National
bank in Columbia two notes
purporting to have been made by
Edgefield county citizens, who when
these obligations matured made answer
to court that they had not signed
any such instruments "and the bank
lost the money".
The attorney general said also that
Frank and sons, money lenders of
Augusta, sent to Evans on one occasion
a check to be delivered to one
of his clients, but Evans appropriated
the mnnev tr> bis own use anrl his
brother, John Gary Evans of Spartanburg
former governor had to make
the cheek good in order to prevent
"Barney" from being prosecuted.
The attorney general said he had
refrained as long as possible from
presenting this evidence to the public,
out of respect to Evans' mother,
and his brother, and the people of the
State, but the revelations had to be
made when Evans persisted in going
about the State making false and
scandalous charges against men the
latchets of whose shoes Evans was
unworthy to tie.
In reply Evans said the attorney
general had presented what purported
to be records of cases that he for
one had never heard of. As to the
Salter check, Evans said: "If John
Gary Evans has paid any such check
for mo I don't know it." He concluded:
"If I am guilty of any crime,
why haven't 1 been arrested?"

Tries to Poison Hospital Inmate.
Fourteen-year-old Bessie Metz, an
orphan, Monday confessed to the
sheriff at Griffin, Ga., that she attempted
to poison officers and patients
at the Griffin hospital Sunday
by putting strychnine in the milk at
the hospital. Nearly a pint of the poison
was used and the milk solution
was so strong that it was detected
before any one drank of it. The little
girl's act was prompted, she said,
by a desire for revenge because the

BEATEN TO A FRAZZLE
TEDDY WILL RUN IP THE PEOPLE
WANT RIM TO DO SO.
"If People Want a Progressive Party,
I'll Be in It/' Says He, and Be
Its Candidate Too.
Thursday night Roosevelt Indicated
that, under certain conditions, ho
might withdraw from the Republican
party to tako the lead in the formation
of a new party. "If the people
want a progressive party, I'll be In
it," he said.
Some of the Colonel's supporters
urged their associates to precipitate
the crisis in the Republican National
Convention at the earliest opportunity.
More conservative counsels finally
prevailed and it was decided
there should be no "bolt" from the
regular Convention.
It was the plan of the Roosevelt
delegates Thursday night to make
their last stand on the report of the
credentials committee. If the seventy-eight
delegates claimed by them
to be fraudulent are seated, the
Roosevelt forces will remain in the
Convention until the end, but will
not vote.
It is their plan then to proceed to
the nomination of the Colonel in the
Coliseum and claim regularity for
liim.
Col. Roosevelt has not definitely
Hi- . 1.1 1 f i ~ Intlnn nnK?
L/C) III III 1L lt!Q IllliJbUU ID L11V5 lituci jmi i
Df this plan. Ho is considering the
advisability of delaying action for
several weeks and then to summon
an entirely nevf convention. This
would not be held until after the
Democrats have acted in Baltimore.
Col. Roosevelt said emphatically
Thursday night that he would make
the independent fight for the Presidency
if he was convinced there was
a popular demand for him. "I shall
have to see if there is popular demand
for me to run," he said.
He added that the situation was
such a kaleidoscopic one that it
would bo impossible for him to outline
what he would do. It might
take some time, he said, to ascertain
the sentiment of the people, and
learn whether there was a reasonable
basis for the formation of what he
termed a "progressive party."
One of Col. Roosevelt's associates,
who talked with him Thursday, said
that he had declared his willingness
to run for President if any considerable
number of the delegates wished
him to, even if he did not carry a
single electoral district in the country.
The Colonel himself said he believed
he would be able to count upon
the support of the bulk of Republicans
in the Western States and that
he would expect to derive considerable
strength from the Democrats.
He would not express any opinion
how soon after the adjournment of
the present Convention the new party
would be formed, should such a
decision be reached. The opinion
was expressed by some of his supporters
that the outcome at Baltimore
would have a considerable bearing
upon the situation.
Col. Roosevelt said there had been
some difference of opinion among hig
supporters as to tho advisability of
bolting. The Ohio delegates, he said,
felt that under their instructions
they should remain in the Convention
until after the nomination was
made. Other delegates, including
some of those from California, were
in favor of withdrawing at once.

JOKES COMES BACK
the offer that if Judge Jones carries
Newberry County and is elected, he
will present him with the finest
Prince Albert to be had on the day of
his inauguration.
First mention of special Judges
was made Thursday, when the Governor
said: "He (Judge Jones) would
not ba running for Governor to-day if
I hud bowed to his whims in the appointment
of special judges/
Defending his character against attacks
upon his honesty, Governor
Blease declared that if the aflldavit of
any one reputable maji could bo obtained
showing that he had received,
as a man and a lawyer, a single dollar
except that earned honestly, he
would get out of the race and leave
the State.
"Those Guttersnipes in Charleston/'
"And those guttersnipes in Charleston,"
said the Governor, "I call
them guttersnipes, because to say
what I would wish would be an unwarranted
offence against their mothers;
these guttersnipes are digging in
tlie filth and mud trying to find out
something against me. They have
hounded me. I have proofs that they
have had Pinkerton detectives following
me, and you taxpayers are
bearing the cost."

McKinley and Barnes Comment on
Roosevelt's Invasion.
In a statement inspired by Col.
Roosevelt's stai t fur Chicago, Direc
tor McKinley declared that his coming
is "an undeniable admission of
defeat which the coming of Mr.
Roosevelt will only make more certain."
William J. Barnes, of New York,
also issued a statement concerning
Mr. Roosevelt's coming.
"Undignified as it is, and impotent
as it will prove to be," ho declared,
"its chief interest lies in its disclosure
of that mania for power, over
which Roosevelt has no control." Mr.
Barnes says that Col. Roosevelt will go
into the Convention hall itself, "and
there attempt to control that Convention,
demand to bo heard in his own
behalf, and if he is not permitted to
do so, he will, nevertheless, continue
his demonstrations under the influence
of the delusion of the people,
whose voice he fancies he hears, are
calling him to overturn all order. It
is a sad and humiliating spectacle to
the American people."
