HENDERS0N'S
RETIREMENT
Another Explanation OF the
Sudden Action Of the
Speaker Comes From
Washington
observation-disclosures
Democrats We're Getting Ready
to Tell OF His Personal Habits
and Conduct and He Gould
Not Face 1t

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept 20
An additional day of discussion as to
the motives which induced Speaker
Henderson to retire from public life
has caused general concentration of
sentiment on the theory that appre-
hension was the inspiring reason.
The Democratic campaign managers
had permitted it to become pretty well
known that no stone would be left un-
turned to secure the election of Horace
Boies from the Third Iowa district,
and the defeat of Speaker Henderson.
1t was intimated that special feature
of an aggressive fight would be de-
ter1nined fight upon the personal habits
and character of General Henderson.
livery possible incident that might be
exploded to his disadvantage, or mag
nified to his injury, would be laid
bare.
1t isbelieved here that when Mr..
Henderson became positively convinced
the Democrats would make good their
threat of waging personal campaign
against him, he decided to relinQuish
the honor of a reelection in order that
his family and friends might be spared
the humiliation and modification.
The belief that General Henderson
acted from purely personal motives is
strengthened by the fact that he con-
suited none of his Political friends or
associates.
Democratic politicians here say that
all other issues are now subordinated
to those of tariff revision and trusts.
They declare the work Of the Sena-
torial conference at Oyster Bay has
been nullified and the President will
be compelled to discuss these two quas-
tons when he resumes his northwest
ern trip.
They believe their chances of elect
ing a Democratic House ar materially
enhanced.

DENVER, Colo, Sept 29.-James H.
Lutes, an artificial limb manufacturer,
residing at $50 South Grant avenue,
has eloped with Mrs. Rose Greenway,
divorced woman. Lutes has a
wooden leg himself, his wife has
wooden leg, and he has fondness for
other ladies who are obliged to go
through life with one pedal extremity
that is not of the flesh. To be frank
about it, Mrs. Greenway has wooden
leg.
It's no wonder that the elopement is
the topic of the hour among all the
people who know the Lutes and Mrs.
Greenway Lutes left town last Fri
day, and Mrs. Greenway disappeared
about the same time. The wooden leg
factory in the Clayton block Is closed.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 29.-Mrs. Gale
Blocki, a Hyde Park social leader, wife
of the prominent young attorney and

Hautilton Cub, has, it is said deserted
her husband and little son and gone
to South Dakota to obtain a divorce
The man in the case is said to be
Julian ST. John Nolan, also a member
of the exclusive social set of the South
Side. There was no scandal in the
case, no scenes nor narrowly averted,
tragedies, Instead, the wife, it is al
legged, confronted her husband with a
statement that she loved another, and,
such being the case, she could no
longer live with him without bringing
dishonor upon both.
The circumstances involved in the
situation are unique, and are related

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept. pa
rather remarkable story was brought
to Washington today by New Yorker
who is said to be close friend of J. Pier
pont Morgan. the great financier and
trust organizer. According to this
man, Mr.. Morgan has determined to
do his utmost to defeat the nomination
of President Roosevelt in 1904, and:
failing in that purpose, will endeavor
to bring about the nomination of ex-
President Cleveland by the Democratic
national convention. This is the way
Mr. Morgan is said to have expressed
himself:
Roosevelt must be defeated and safe
man chosen in his stead. If he can
not be defeated, then we must see that
the Democrats nominate a safe man
like Cleveland, whom the business in
tcrests can support, and who can beat
Roosevelt at the polls"
The fact that Pierpont Morgan is
not an enthusiastic supporter of Mr..
Rooseyelt's political ambition is no
The Tucson citizen., 1902-09-29

new thing, but that he is willing to go
to the extent of endeayoring to bring
about the election of Democrauc
President two years hence in order to
eliminate the President as a power in
national affairs has the element of
novelty in it. Mr.. Morgan has not
liked the President ever since Mr..
Roosevelt directed that suit be begun
to dissolve the Northern Securities
company, which the New York finan-
cier, with the help of James J. Hill
and other wealthy men, organized last
winter. The Presidents unpopular
ity with Mr.. Morgan was intensified
when, despite reported warning
from Wall street, he discussed in his
public addresses, in New England and
since, remedies for existing trust evils.
Therefore, the statement of Mr.. Nor
gan's friend shows how deeply the
President has stirred Wall street by
his discussion of the trust question,
and by pointing out the evils which,
in his judgment, ought to be corrected.
