NOTIFIED OF NOMINATION, Former Justice Alton B. Parker Baps Boosevelt Reform Plans in His Speech. Indianapolis, August 20 Governor Marshall was officially notified here, today, of his nomination for the office of Vice President on the Democratic ticket. The notification speech was delivered by Alton B. Parker of New York.

Governor Thomas R. Marshall of In diana, in his formal speech of acceptance of the Democratic vice presidential nomination attacked the Republican party the grounds that It had fostered special privilege to the point of making men everywhere socialistic in theory if not in conduct. In this connection he said: "It Is idle for a thoughtful man In America, whether millionaire or pauper, to longer play the ostrich. Safety does not consist In hiding one's head in the sands either sentiment or hope. It Is foolish for the vastly rich to keep on insisting that more and more shall be added their riches through a specious system of special legislation ostensibly enacted to run the government, in reality enacted to loot the people.

"It ls'worse than ignorance for them to smile at the large body of intelligent Americans who regard themselves as fortunate If the debit and credit accounts life balance at the end of the year, and to assume that the mighty many, who are becoming convinced that that social system that we call Democracy is but a glittering generality, will long endure the industrial slavery being pro- aucea. "Whether voting the ticket or not, men everywhere looking upon the awful In justice oi this economic system are becoming socialistic in theory if not in conduct. "And shall any fair-minded man say that if it redounds to the Interests of the people of this country that a hundred men shall control its business to the good of everyone, that there Is anything fallacious In the theory that government instead oi transferring business to a favored few for the benefit of all should Itself discharge that business for the benefit of all. "I do not hesitate to sav that If It he impossible to restore this republic to its ancient Ideals, which I do not believe, and I must make the ultimate choice between the paternalism of the few and tnc socialism of the many, count me and my 'house with the throbbing heart of humanity. "The discontent In Republic an rank.

Is discontent. How much of ix nas reacned the point where wearied with the bad workings of a good system, It is willing to topple that system over and try something new, I cannot prophesy. But I am quite sure that whatever badges men may wear in American this year, whatever ballots they n.ay vote ana wnaiever Battle cries they may utter more are Dut tnree grades of citizens. Candidate Divides All United States Citizens Into Three Classes. "The first grade is made up of tho fa vored few, their bangers-on and their beneficiaries, who think the eagle Is upon the dollar, not as an emblem ot liberty but as an emblem of power, and who look upon Government as an annex to their business affairs; these are they wuo 'u me paai years oi itepuDiican misrule have turned the temple of constitutional freedom Into a money-changers' mart, and have made ot the co-ordinate branches of the Government obedient lacneys oi tne jingling guinea "The second grade consists of those whose outlook upon life has been enlarged by the civilization under which i we live, who have been taught by the school and the college, by the press and the maganlne, who appreciate the good things of life, whose horizon has been enlarged and whose capacity for Joy and sorrow has been increased.

"Conditions have become unbearable to them. They have reached the point where, in the struggle for that which they believe to be riglt, thsy srt willing to destroy the ideals of the Republic. How many of these there are, I do not know, but I do know that special privilege in the Republic 1b breeding them day by day like rabbits In a warren. "The third grade of citizens It pleases me to call old-fashioned constitutional Democrats. These are they who believe that the equality of mankind does not consist In an equality of brain and brawn, but in an equality whereby every man! native and foreign born, has an inalienable right to exercise all of his ability In getting on in the world Just so he realizes that in getting on he owes It to himself, to his family and to the Re public to Bee to It that he gotj on hon estly and that he does not prevent nny otner man irom ootaining the reward of his honesty and enterprise.

These old-fashioned Democrats be lieve In making money, but they believe every dollar made should be so clean that an inrant may cut hie teeth upon It. And they hnld that It Is no part ot govern ment to boost one man and boot an other." Parker Says Democrats Have Sub stituted Practice for Preaching. Alton B. Parker of New York delivered the address notifying Governor Marshall of his nomination for Vice President by the Democratic National Convention. Judge Parker's contention that relief could come only from the election of Wlleon-and Marshall and a Democratic Congress followed an assignment of reasons which he insisted negatived all possibility of relief from either the Republican or the Progressive parties.

Of the iHtter he said in part: Roosevelt's Promises of Reform Are Ridiculed by Parker. "ItB creator and nominee for President occupied that office tor about seven and a half years, but during all that tlim he could not be persuaded to say a word in favor of lifting from the peopl the burden imposed upon them by extortionate tarift rates. True, he adn.ua In his confession of faith 'that certnin interests have been improperly favorid by over-protection'; declares himself in favor of 'disrupting the old crooked, lug-rolling method of tariff and advocates a 'tariff commission, 'wholly different from the present unsatisfactory tarift It Is Impossible if rise from a careful reading of his tariff discussion without being convinced that he Is a stnndpatter now an he was when president, and that he neither experts nor hopes tor an outcome more favorable to the people than followed Pnsl-dent Arthur's commission which resulted on the average In an Increase of dutlo3 Head of Catholic Federation Will Re tire if Members So Wish. Louisville, August 2 With com mittee reports in prospect for the afternoon session, the eleventh convention of the American Federation of Catholic Societies began its second day of business this morning. Immediately after Its appointment yesterday the resolutions committee began preparation of its report.

it was expected this would contain a strong anti-Socialistic expression. tomorrow officers will be elected and the next convention city will be chosen. It Is more than intimated that Milwaukee will be named. Edward Feeney of Brooklyn has signified bis willingness to retire as president If the members of the' federation felt that any other man could be of greater service. Mr.

Feeney has served six years. Anthony Matre of St. Louis, completing his tenth year as national secretary, it Is said, will probably be re-elected unanimously. ALTON MEETING POSTPONED. Owing to the Inadvertent omission of an advertisement In a county newspaper, the meeting of stockholders of the Chicago and Alton Railroad to authorize an iBBue of $200,000,000 in bonds has been postponed until September 20.

CHANGES IN OPERA CONTEST They Are Many and Interesting. Robert Naismith Passes the 10,000 Mark. Yesterday was marked by many changes In the rank of those competing for the prizes in The Eagle's Fifth Grand Opera Contest. The two largest gains of the day were made by Agnes Doherty and the MlsseB Marshall. The former polled over 600 votes, and went up from twenty fourth to sixteenth.

The Misses Marshall were not even on the list of the "next twenty-five," but they came up over night ana are now fourteenth in that division. But there were many other changes besides these. Among the most inter esting of them were the advances of. uiarissa Smith to thirteenth and of B. R.

Van Valkenburgh to forty-second. Caroleen Ackerman moved up to forty-fourth, and E. Dill Godfrey to fifty-second. Robert Naismith continued In the lead yesterday. The day among the leaders was remarkable for the fact that Mr.

Naismith passed the ten thonsand mark, being the first of this year's entrants to do so. The Sixty Leaders. 1. Naismith, Robert. 843 Eat 84th z.

Fully 1.600 delegates are already here and the indications are that the convention will be the most largely attended of any beld by the association In years. Mayor John B. Corwin welcomed the delegates and addresses were delivered by officers of the association.

Accompanied by a number ot representatives from Brooklyn the delegation from the Southern New York Firemen's Association, which embraces Kings, Queens, Suffolk, Richmond and Westchester Counties, arrived here this forenoon on a special train. They were escorted to convention hall by a drum corps and a delegation from the Newburgh Fire Department. Patrick Lahey, 91 years of age, the oldest volunteer fireman In the State, came with southern New York delegation. Among those who accompanied the Brooklyn delegation were W. W.

Swart- out of Flatbush, who Is a candidate for trustee of the Firemen's Home; Joseph R. Roesch, Chief of the Fire Department in Rockville Centre, and Fred Bennett, Chief of the Fire Department of Hempstead.

Many of- the members had with them their wives and families.

The delegation was the largest that has ever represented the local vets at any convention. The delegates were mum on the mat er of the state ticket which will be voted on at the convention.

The oonventlon promises to be one of the most ausploious events in the history of the organization.

Arrangements have been made for band concerts and vaudeville acta dally. In the evening the entire city will be a blaze of electric lights and fireworks displays will add to the ntertalnments. A monster parade will be held on Fri day. Elaborate preparations have been made and no eflort has been spared to make the pageant a history-making event. Many of tho old hand-pump engines, long cherished by tke vets, have been ex pressed to the convention city, prepara tory to tho procession, and these will be handsomely decorated.

The office ot vice president has been beld by a Brooklyn-ite and It it is rumored that there may be a movement on foot to attempt to elect a local man to the presidency this year. When members of the delegations were asked concerning this they shook their heads and winked significantly, but declined to say what the plan of the local delegates was.

Funeral services will be held the the of and bla be the of a Eventually Devote His En-tire Time to Alabama Project HAS two POSITIONS NOW. Retains bis "With the Edison Company While Taking Charge of Southern Enterprise, That William Wlnana Freeman, Tlco president and general manager of the Edison Electric Light Company of Brooklyn, who has become interested In gigantic electrical derelopment schemed In Alabama, will eventually sever entirely his connection with the Brooklyn concern became known today. The authority for this statement Is a close friend of Mr. Freeman, who said the latter had confided his Intentions to tim before he left for Alabama last week. This friend, who would not allow himself to be quoted, said that when Mr.

Freeman left he had stated that he wouM be again In Brooklyn during the last of next week. Then he will be at the Edi-son company offices for some time. He will continue to be in Brooklyn at intervale, during which he will attend to his duties as general manager and vice presl William Winans Freeman. dent of the Edison company for some time to come, probably until the first of the year. As yet it has not been decided when he will leave the Edison people to make his home permanently In Alabama, but that he will do so eventually is known by hla close friends.

As yet no one has taken his place at the Brooklyn offices of tho Edison company, and he will continue to attend to his duties there during the In tervals that he Is in Brooklyn. Bis present Intention Is to divide hie time about evenly between the two places, spending from one to three weeks of each month, as necessity may require, at each place. The project In which Mr. Freeman has become interested is one of the most gigantic undertakings ever undertaken in Alabama and it Is backed wholly by English capital. It la incorporated un- der the name of the Alabama Interstate Power Company and Mr.

Freeman is its vice president and managing director. It is capitalized for $12,000,000 of stock and $10,000,000 In bonds, but provision has been made to increase this capitalization to $25,000,000 of stock and $25,000,000 in bonds. Incorporated with this concern Is the Alabama Light and Traction Company, which 1b also capitalized with English money, and which is now combined with the more gigantic scheme. The new concern, whose leading lights are said to be Canadian capitalists, proposes to develop water power In thi State of Alabama on a large scale for the purpose of generating electricity to be sold at wholesale to run trolley lines, milling machinery and for lighting. Alabama May Be Called the Pennsyl vania of the South.

One of Mr. Freeman's associates in the Alabama ooncern, James Mitchell, told about the development project. "Alabama may be called the Pennsylvania of the South. I mean that the state Is rich in deposits of coal andiron. Our plan is first to develop the water-power of the Coosa River, where the main dam will be located.

The dam will be placed thirty miles north of Montgomery. Immense quantities of ooal are now being consumed in running manufacturing plants in Alabama. We propose to afford an opportunity to substitute electricity as a motive power for steam, which calls for this tremendous consumption of coal. The water 1b running to waste. We propose to conserve It.

"There are a large number of cities of between 10,000 and 12,000 inhabitants and these are growing rapidly. It Is the purpose of our company to stimulate manufacturing by furnishing power at reasonable cost." Speaking of the waste of coal In manufacturing, Mr. Mitchell eald that he could not understand how Mr. Plnchot and his friends could be bo much exercised on thevsubject of the conservation of timber and say not a word about the needless consumption of coal: that steam could be replaced by electricity and greater efficiency gained thereby. Mr.

Freeman Has Had Long Experience in Electrical Power Work. William Winans Freeman has had over twenty years experience in the production of electric power. He connected himself with the Edison Company In 1889 and advanced steadily until he became vice president and general manager. Mr. Freeman has been so long associated with Brooklyn's business and social life that many have come to think of him as a "native son.

This is an error. He was born In Exeter, Ontario, Canada, June 8, 1872. He began his business career as a stenographer at Llstowel, and then came to New York. He is a deacon In Dr. Cadman's church and a member of a number of clubs of Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Mr. Freeman married on June 6, 1895, Miss Ellen Burrows, daughter of Chester D. Burrows of Brooklyn. Mrs. Freeman accompanied her husband to Alabama on bis present trip, and they intend to take up their residence In that State.

Mr. Freeman has not severed his connection with the Edison Company, and will be seen In Brooklyn as buBlnesB may require. It was tald at the office of the Edison Company In Brooklyn that there was no affiliation between that corporation and 0 Alabama enterprise. NEW RABBI COMING. The local congregation of Both Jacob 'Ansjha Sholom of this borough has secured the services of Rabbi A.

M. Ashln-sky of Pittsburg, who has for ten years been in charge of the Beth Hamedrosh Hagodel Congregation In that place and was affiliated with many Important Jow-lsh works there. The various Pittsburg congregations jtield a mass meeting recently to try" to Indues the rabbi to remain In that city, tut their efforts were unsuccessful. Rabbi Ashlneky announced that he would have to leave on account of his health. Who Was Today Notified of His Nomination to the Vice Presidency.

when Congress had finished with the matter. "Certainly only a very stupid man would expect blm to curb the trusts. Seven-eighths ot all the combinations in existence when he went out of office were created while he was President. Their creators had confidence In him surely. and It is but just to say that it was not misplaced.

Did ho not stay the hand of bis pliant attorney general when he was about to bring suit to dissolve the Harvester Trust? Was not a twenty-minut conversation long enough to persuade him that the Steel Corporation should be allowed to absorb Its leading competitor! These instances, in the olrcuin-3tances, point with unerring finger to him as the man responsible for their creation In defiance of law. To stay the strong arm of the law he had but to write to his attorney general and In Instances we now know that he did so." In his appeal to the people for their complete trust and confidence In the pending election, Judge Parker referred to the tariff history of the Democratic party prior to 1860; paid a tribute to the Democratic Congress and their leadors. Speaker Clark and Chairman Underwood, and as a final and conclusive reason, said that the lofty character and public spirit of the nominees for President and Vice President gave perfect assurance that the pledges of the party and their owu would be faithfully and completely exe cuted.
