WILL NOT BE FIRED
James Bailey. of Kentucky, to
Return TO Guatemala.
He Is Now Only OF on Leave of
Absence.

Washington, April 20---The infor-
nation is announced officially tina,
James Bailey, secretary of the Amer
lean legation at Guatemala City, Qua
terala, is not after ali to be suppressed
ed Assistant Secretary of State
Francis b. Loomis is the authority
for this statement. Two or three
mon b ago, before Ieilie Combs 81 =
ceeded D.. W. Godfrey Hunter as min
lister to Guatemala, it was understood
to be the intention of the president to
appoint a new man as secretary in
place of Mr.. Bailey.
Since then DIR. Hunter has returned
to the United States and Minister
Combs has assumed charge Of the le-
cation at Guatemala City. After a
Wisconsin man declined the tender of
the secretaryship of the legation, lit.
tie was said about the position at the
state department until il was AN
n ,unced that Secretary Bailey had
been granted an indefinite leave of alb
sence. The furlough was generally
interpreted as foreshadowing his re-
tirement from the diplomatic service,
but Assistant Secretary LOOMS has
that the construction of
his departure from Guatemala was err
roneous. Said Mr.. LOOMS:
"Mr. Bailey is going back to Guate-
mals City as secretary of the Ameri.
can legation. He is now on a leave
of absence and the department has no
intention of having him retired. Mr..
Bailey has performed satisfactory ser
vice, and the fact that he happened to
be witness to tho shooting ARRAY
between DR.. Hunters son and Will
liam Fitzgerald, could not justly be
used to initiate against him."

JAMES DE WOLFE HERE.
Advance Man for Forepaugh-Sslls
Circus Talks Of DiavoIo Act.

I'VE sincerely wish there was more
than one man in this wide world who
could successfully perform that loop
act remarked Mr. James DeWOlfe, one
of the Forepaugh h-Sells representative
who arrived in Topeka today You see,
this man Diavolo is going to get hurt
sooner or later. He realizes it, and we
realize it. The requirements for the
successful accomplishment of this feat
are so exact that the slightest deviation
means an accident-and an accident
means almost certain death. We would
be very glad indeed to find another man
who could successfully perform this
feat, for, as things stand now, if Dia-
VolO does make a slip it's all off with
the act until we find some one. And
the pay is not bad, either: only LOCO
week-the time to earn it just Y sec
onds, that is, seconds at each per
formance, or u seconds a day But fix
up your insurance first. for it would
take a road roller to drag an insurance
agent near you after you signed the
contract.
"The basis of the act is the oppo-
sition of the two forces, velocity and
gravity. To make the act possible the
velocity must be sufficient to exert a
quantity of centrifugal force great
enough to overcome the natural force
of gravitation. In other words, it can
be mathematically proved that an unob-
structed, y-moving, spherical body
weighing 225 pounds moving over

degrees. viii generate sufficient velocity
to carry it almost perpendicularly 2315
feet. And there you have it. The man
weighs 100 pounds; the bicycle 60
pounds. total, 225 pounds. The runway
is 10 feet long pitched at an angle of 45
degrees, and the loop proper is 23is
feet in diameter. But then, that simply
proves the act possible-the trick is to
do it. DiavolO does it twice daily, and
when you see it your opinion viii be
that it's the greatest hair-raising dem
onstration of pure, unadulterated dare
deviltry that American ingenuity has
vet conceived .

the Columbia law school in 1884 his pre-
ceDtor took for the subject of his grad
uating address Theodore Roosevelt -
At that time Roosevelt was making
himself known for the first time as
member of the legislature of New York.
and only the far-seeing eyes of the
speaker discerned the future that await
ed the energetic young New Yorker
Mr.. Gleed was succeeded in his place
on the platform by James a. Troutman.
To Mr. Troutman belongs the honor of
having been the last to speak before the
arrival of President Roosevelt. MI.
Troutman had but fairly commenced a
witty talk with funny story when he
was interrupted by the arrival Of the

of twenty bugles of the Boys Bugle
