this appointment is symptomatic

ROOSEVELTS TRIP WEST
II Will Be Devoid of Politics and No Polt.
ical Speeches Will Be Made.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Pres-
ident Roosevelt expects to make
several trips through the west
next fall, and much political sig
nifcance has been attributed to
the development of his program.
1t has been frequently announced.
without authority, however, that
the president intends to take an
active part in the political Cam
paign this year. This is a mis-
take. President Roosevelt has
no hesitancy in expressing his
views upon great public ques-
tons. but he will not take the
stump next fall, or at any other
time, while he is the occupant OF
the white house.
Whenever and wherever he
speaks it will be as president OF
the United States, realizing the
full Importance of every utter
ance, and accepting responsible
ty for them as the chief execu.
tive of the nation.
The president has been invited
to attend a number of political
conventions, and he has declined,
and will continue to decline, all
such invitations. His visits to
the west will be for recreation OF
to attend purely public functions
that are in no way partisan.
He will visit the Illinois state
fair at Springfield in September,
and will also visit Chicago and
Detroit in that month. He may
attend a number of oanquets and
make number of speeches, but
they will not be political.

MAY EXTEND THE STRIKE
Transfers Trouble May Involve Other
Employees.

CHICAGO, May eff the four
great packing concerns at the
Union stockyards do not yield to
the demands of the striking team.
sters within short time a gen
eral stoppage of 40, 900 employees
at the yards may result. Already
several hundred persons have
quit. The situation is becoming
SO involved that it apparently
will be impossible for the union
men to remain at work much
longer without violating the
rules of the Chicago Federation
of Labor, under which they hold
charters,
A strike among the beef butch
ers or hog butchers or any other
set of men, upon whom hundreds
of others are dependent, would
cause a complete tie-up in every
branch. This is said to be not
unlikely. because, in many in
stances, union men have been
asked..to do work of the strikers
and have been discharged upon
refusing. Furthermore, union
men are forbidden to handle
goods that have been prepared
by non-union labor, and it is said
to be nearly impracticable for the
men to continue without doing
this.

OLD GAS WELLS CHOKED
viii Flow Again If Cleaned Out, an
Expert Says.

ELwOoD, Ind, May 31-Her-
bert Estelle, an expert driller in
the Indiana gas and oil fields, is
authority for the statement that
many so-called "dead' gas wells
in the belt are nothing more than
wells that have been choked with
sediment that hardens after years
of exposure and obstructs the
flow of gas.
II have been cleaning out a
number Of wells during the past
few weeks" said Mr.. Estelle,
land l know what am talking
about when say that gas wells
can be rejuvenated. The process
is simple and the cleaning always
results in flow of gas. And
why shouldn't it? Water and sed
iment naturally solidify and fill
up the crevices through which
the gas must come from it's nat
ural reservoir to the surface. If
the cleaning out process removes
this sediment and the mud that
keeps the gas back isn't it logical
that the gas will flow? 1 want to
say positively that the problem
of obviating a scarcity Of gas in
a great many wells lies in clean
ing them out. Of course the
work of removing the sediment
from a long slender hole in the
ground that reaches down a
thousand or more feet is not so
simple as it may seem, but nev-
ertheless it can be accomplished.
''You think then that gas is
not failing?" Mr.. Estelle was
asked.
Certainly" was his reply;
''there is more gas in many of
the old wells than in some of the
new ones. The trouble is as
have explained. The sediment
in the we'll keeps the supply
back. Then some wiseacre
comes along and declares that
the we'll is dead and announces
to the world that gas has fail.

Killing Creates Panic in Animal
Tent in Brooklyn.
THE HERD IN AN UPROAR
Fort Wayne Man Touches Trunk Of Ele.
plant With Lighted Cigar and is
Tossed high in Air.

NEW YORK, May 29-''Tops. ;"
the three ton female elephant in
the Forepaugh & Sells circus,
now in camp at Saratoga avenue
and Halsey street, Brooklyn, kill
ed man this morning. but her
worst enemies among the tram
ers and canvasmen had to admit
that she had plenty of provoca-
ton. Besides doing several
other things to torment her the
elephants victim had amused
himself by touching the lighted
end of cigar to her trunk.
Tops is man-hater. She will
take a peanut from the hand of a
woman or child. but William En-
dry, her keeper, is the only man
whom she will tolerate. She
shows her aversion so plainly
that sober men give her g wide
berth. But the man who was
killed wasn't sober. There could
not have been a worse corbina-
ton to arouse the big elephants
Ire. She is not only a man.ha-
ter, but as good a Puritan as a
New England tabby cat. She
hates the odor Of liquor and to-
bacco. Her tormentor reeked of
both.
The man killed was J. Fielding
Blount, of Fort Wayne. Ind. a
circus man out of a job. He was
formerly employed with other
shows as a canvassman. He
camped on the trail of Forepaugh
& Sells outfit a week ago, and
had been a hanger-on ever since
asking every day for work. He
evidently didn't need it, for
among papers found in his peck
ct after Tops had finished him
was a postal order for $50, which
the circus men said had been sent
to him by his mother.
Blount slept in the open lot
outside the circus tents on Tues
day night. In the morning he
crawled under the canvas of the
animal tent and appointed himself
keeper of the elephants. There
were twenty of the animals pick
eted in one line, and Blount be-
gan with big dutch" and walked
about half way down to where
Tops was, teasing each animal as
he went. Most of the circus men
were asleep, but two or three
who had just rolled out Of the
blankets say that Blount was
staggering, and saved himself
once from falling by grabbing ar
elephants trunk. That elephant
happened to be od-natured
The man shouted to Blount tC
look out, but he paid no atten
ton.
When Blount reached Tops he
stopped and devoted all his at
tention to her, possibly because
she is the star performer of the
herd, and wears a ladder-like
harness around her trunk, Sc
that her trainer can climb to the
top Of her head when they are in
the arena. Blount tried to clint
the ladder. but fell off, and Top:
