Sc PES COPY DRYS" SCORCH BOTH PARTIES SURVEY OF STATE IHEBELS ANGERED WEIGHT PUTTING STRONG SPEECH FOR LORIMER AT FALLEN CHIEF FINALS DECIDED THI ASSOCIATED PRIM DISPATCHEI Sensational Attack Made on Both Democratic and Re publican Organizations by Prohibitionists. , "ROOSEVELT LEAST DESIRABLE OF ALL' And Taft Is "Wet Nurse for Saloons" According to Chairman of Con vention. Atlantic City, July 10. A sensa tional attack on President Taft and Roosevelt and the republican and democratic parties marked the begin ning of the prohibition national con vention today. Clinton N. Howard of Rochester, N. Y., temporary chair man, spoke of the "boss-ridden, liquor -controlled old parties," and de clared no real reform was to be gained from either or from Roosevelt's third party. "No president," he said, "has sur rendered more abjectly to the liquor Interests than has Taft. His record is too recent, familiar and odoriferous to require review." RyH Howard said it would be a crim inal waste of time to argue that the liquor traffic could be stamped out through the republican party, with its silent platform, its present unworthy leadership, Its long, consistent liquor record, its present monopoly-nurtured candidate, who, more than any of his predecessors, has become the wet nurse for saloons. "What better results can be expect ed from the democratic party?" he asked. "Not only as little but leas than nothing at all." Howard said that While Woodrow WHson was known as a "good man." prohibition ists were "not here to elect a good man but to kill the I'tuor traffic." Speaking of Rooievek, Howard said Roosevelt "from the standplont of the prohibitionist, by his record, public utterances and confessed personal habits, Is the least desirable of them all." Some Nomination Booms, A presidential nomination boom bail on a new Issue that would sub stitute practical politics for "church politics" In the prohibition movement who started here last night on the eve of the prohibition national convention FVnley C. Hendrickson of Cumberland, Md., was launched as a candidate for the prohibition presidential nomina tion by the Maryland delegation which will appeal for his selection as the parly standard bearer on a broad plat form, especially urging that there be more earnest appeal for votes qut side the churches and that less of the energy of the party be expended In "howling for the church vote." Mr. Hendrickson who Is a member of the prohibition party executive committee Is a strong advocate of more practical policies in the prohibi tion movement. The Maryland delegation appointed a special convention campaign com mittee to urge Mr. Hendrickm"s nom ination, the commltte being headed by Kdwfln Hlgglns of Baltimore. The entrance In the presidential race of Mr. Hendrickson probably will remit In the elimination of Joshua Levering of Baltimore prohibition presidential candidate In IS, who had been men tioned as a probability this time. His friends assorted that he did not wish his name to go before the convention, Another tangible boom for the party ticket was precipitated at a reception to the delegates yesterday when the Massachusetts delegation arrived with friends and banner proclaiming "Chattn and Watkins for 112" the party ticket In 10K. Eugene W. chailo of Illinois, was the presidential nominee and Aaron 8. Watklnt, vice presidential nomlinee In the preceding campaign and many are urging their renomlnatlon. At the present time Hendrickson and Chafln are the lead ing presidential candidates. J. B. Crannll of Dallas, responding to the address of welcome, said "If we do pot win next November, Wilson will be president."

Washington, July 10. The scheme of republican progressives in the house of representatives to launch a fresh campaign against President Taft by means of a petition asking him to withdraw as the republican nomi nee has proved to be a "flash in the pan." When pinned down to it the mem bers who had participated In the con ferences which developed the idea hastily joined the "don't mention my name" club. Those who started the movement abandoned their efforts to show the participation of the regu lar republicans in it and It was clearly apparent that there was lit tle support forthcoming from that di rection. Only one of the participants in the Informal conferences, Repre sentative Rollin R. Reese, of Kansas, publicly admitted his share in the proceedings. He admitted that he had a petition aimed at Mr. Taft and he made It public, coupled with the following statement: "My scheme was to appeal to President Taft's patriotism and well known love for 'party solidarity.' To be successful my petition would nec essarily have to be presented to him by those who were his political ad herents at the time he sought the nomination. I had no thought that my own views or that of other progres sive members would make much Im pression on him, but It seemed to me that if those who really have his welfare at heart would urge the views upon him that 1 tried to set out in the petition he would take the j-step suggested or devise some other plan that would relieve -the parly from its present embarrassment. I did not intend that the press should get hold of this scheme until I had a fair opportunity to try it out, but since it has become known 1 prefer that a correct version be given. I had not proceeded far enough to solicit any signatures but had submitted the plan to several colleagues for their suggestions." The heading of Mr. Reese's peti tion recited the charges of fraudu lent nomination against President Taft freely made by the supporters of Col. Roosevelt. It proceeded an a new tack, however, by asserting that whether the charges were false or true, they nevertheless would have an effect In the election, and that In the minds of progressive republicans, they would result In the defeat of the republican- ticket. The petition of Mr. Reese has not been adopted by the Insurgents. While so trie of them were of the opin ion that premature publication had killed the scheme others thought dif ferently and all concluded that ilt would be best to hold another con ference when more Insurgent lenders are In Washington. Not one of the parties to the con ference had any direct word from Senator Dixon. Mr.. Roosevelt's cam paign manager, as to his attitude. In the, absence of word from him the Insurgents were divided on the best method to pursue, gome believed In a conciliatory petition and others favored a bludgeon.

Gazette-News Bureau, The Hotel Raleigh, Raleigh, July 10. That the Atlantic & Western rail road, under construction from Sanford to Lilllngton, will be pushed on to Goldsboro was the statement made to day by Senator J. R. Baggett bf Is lington, attorney for the road. Nine miles of the road, from Sanford to Broadway, Is already In operation and rails have been laid for a distance of five miles toward Lilllngton.

The distance from Sanford to Lilllngton Is 25 miles. The road will be extended to Goldsboro, a distance of 40 miles from Lilllngton, and will aid in the development of a rich section of tho country. Mr. Edwards, the promoter, Is one of the foremost business men of his section. He has been to Sanford and that section what John A.

He also conducted' the Gulf line railroad In Georgia, a piece of road 100 miles long. He has been in the harness for 28 years. It has been reported that the Sea board was back of ' the Atlantic & Western and that It was planning to invade Atlantic Coast Line territory, but Senator Baggett states that this is not true. Several persons interested In the Seaboard have money In the new enterprise, but the road is not being constructed, he said, to be turned over to the Seaboard. The line will have splendid connections ' at Goldsboro, Lilllngton and Sanford and should become a paying proposition. J. W.

Great dis satisfaction is reported in the ranks of the rebel army which ha? been gathering here since the defeat by the federals last wek. Those dissatisfied wlith the leadership of Gen.

'I think the platform goes as far asa great political parly can declare under present Industrial and polltl cal conditions that is, with any de gree of assurance of being enacted into law." Gompers said no other questions n the platform were discussed and when asked what particular phases were considered said: 'We discussed that part of lthe platform which applies to the i.su ances of Injunctions and contempt proceedings growing out of the abuse of the writ. 'We also discussed the de In ration that voluntary associations of work lngmeu should not properly corm under Ihe provisions of the Sherman anti-trust law. as being In illegal re stralnt of trade, but should be treated as associations of men and women dealing In no product and not organ Ized for profit. 'We also discussed the declaration In regard to the proper manning or vessels and the abolition or Involun tary servitude for seamen." Air. Gompers said that he and hi colleagues were acting as "envoys of the American laboring men.' When he was asked whether the Federation or Labor will support the democrats ticket, he said: "We are going to re port to our colleagues and they will make a de laration or authorize us. to make it."

Great Britain an-.l Germany finished so close that it looked like a ead heat. The Englishman Apple- garth undoubtedly was a few Inches head, but the committee felt com pelled to disqualify the German team. Seven preliminary heats in the 1500 meters fiat race furnished good ex hibitions. Seven Americans, Sheppard, Madeira, Taber, Klvlat, Jones, Hed- lund and McClure qualified for the final, totalling up one-half the number of runners who will compete, which would seem to any natlion rather an honorable representation. The most interesting feature of these heats was the contest between the Oxonian Jackson and Cornell's ast man, John Paul Jone. Jackson won with apparent ease and seems to be perfection of a running machine. The Frenchman Bouin, who gave the- cleanest and easiest exhibition of distance rur.nf.ng yet seen at the Olym pic, Is likely to make a great battle of it with Kolchmalnen In the final heat of the 5000 meterB.

In the last heat of the 000 meters the American, W. M. McCurdy made a brave but futile attempt to win. The committee arranged a compro mise in Ihe matter of the semi-tinals of the 100 meters swimming competi tion whiich all accepted in a sports manship spirit. The Americans by a misunderstanding had failed to appear for the semi-finals of this event, Which were contested Sunday. The Interna tional Jury decided this morning that an extra heat consisting of the three Americans "Duke" Kahanamoku, Ken neth 1-luszagh. Chicago A. A. anil Perry MoOillivray. 111. A.

Counsel lor the Judge Robert W. Archbald of commerce court, against whom articles of impeachment have been reported In the house, Issued a statement yester day in the judge's behalf asking that public opinion in his case be suspended until the accused jurist had had an opportunity to present his defense to the senate, which sitting as a court, will try the charges against hlim. In part the statement says: t "Judge Archbald's counsel state that he emphatically denlies that In any of the transactions which are referred to in the report of the judiciary com mittee or which are embraced in the articles of impeachment which the committee has submitted to the house, he used or attempted to use tils influ ence as a judge improperly. 'Conscious of his own integrity, it never occurred to him in any of the transactions referred to that others might suspect that he was acting oth erwise than uprightly. "When the original charges against him were presented to the president and flic attorney general, he was given no notice and had no hearing. In tho proceedings before the judiciary committee of the house of representa tives he was permitted to be present and to cross examine the witnesses produced by tho committee, but it was explicitly stilted that the proceeding' was a hearing and not a trial. In the hearings before tho committee the principal charges which had led the president and the atorney general to take action wore shown to be utterly unfounded. When the evidence be fore the committee was closed, it went into executive session, and what charges it might make could not be mown to Judge Archlinld or his coun nl until they were formulated and presented to live noose.

Senator Johnson defended Lori mer saying, "I refused to save myself at the sacrifice of my honor," He ex plained he knew he was on the un popular side. He characterized as "unchristian and unamerican" Roose velt's course in declining to sit with Lorimer at the Hamilton club dinner in Chicago. Lorimer is scheduled to make the la::f speech In his own defense. The anti-Lorimer forces declared the vote would expel the lllinoisian. Alter an ineffectual attempt to onclude onflderation of the case against William Lorimer of Illinois, the senate yesterday afternoon re cessed until this morning to allow Mr. Lorimer an opportunity to close his own defense. Just before the day s sc-sion closed the senate was on the verge of a vote on tho resolu tion declaring the Lorimer seat va unt, but an agreement was reached ollowing further debate. Senator Dillingham of Vermont, concluded his three-days' speech In support of Senator Lorimer. , In concluding his speech defending l,orimer Senator Dillingham attack ed the $ 100,000 slush fund story of General Manager Funk, of the In ternational Harvester company. He said that this story had been known for some time before Funk made it public. He asserted that Funk's de sire to keep It secret grew out of his fear of Lorimer's sower as a sen ator. "This story was never used where it could be subjected to legal inves tigation," said Senator Dillingham; "It was never used except for the pur pose of bringing defeat to William Lorimer."
