Senator Hanna gave out the foregoing
statement late yesterday afternoon It
puts an end to the controversy that has
been in progress during the last two
weeks. There is now no doubt as to what
the action of the state convention will
be. President Roosevelt's administration
will be commended and he will be Endorsed
for the republican presidential nominal
ton to be made next year
e Not only does Mr.. Hanna,s statement
close the controversy so far as the in
dorsement Of President Roosevelt is con-
cerned, but it emphasizes and confirms the
senator's repeated declarations during the
last year or more that he is not and will
not be a candidate for the presid ential
nomination himself in 1904 He has said
time and again and has told the same
man who can beat Mr.. Roosevelt for the
presidential nomination next year is Mr.
Roosevelt himself.
No Change Of Front.
In deciding to withdraw his opposition
to the Endorsement Of Mr.. Roosevelt By
the Ohio state republican convention this
year Senator Hanna has not changed his
position toward the president. Since thu

TROUBLE is EXPECTED
Kansas City Police Armed With krag-
Joruensens

Kansas, City, Mo-, May 27.-The police
department of Kansas City, acting under
special instructions from Governor Dock
cry and the police commissioners, has
made unusual precautions to cope with
any emergency in the event of a strike
of freight handlers, transfers or others.
Probably the most suggestive features
are the new Krag- Jorgensen rifles sup
piled to the department and the bundles
of bandages and lint piled in the surgeons
rooms. A large reserve force of police
is held at headquarters night and day
and the entire force is being drilled.
The freight handlers are awaiting word
from Chicago, and it is expected that the
order will be to strike. The freight houses
of the Union Pacific and Great Western
railroads are not interested in the strike.
At these two houses freight is all han
died by negroes and they are satisfied
with their work and pay, and have made
no demands. The other railroads have
observed this plan and the plan, II the
strike comes, is to let the old workmen
go and to I'LL their places with negroes.

lowing ~ ssss, 3 1.s
This is good news, said Postmaster
General Payne. Mr. Payne is regarded
as the political manager Of President
Roosevelt. ct is good news" he con-
tinued. because it clears up most salts
factorily to all concerned an exceedingly
unpleasant affair It removes the last
lingering doubt Of the nomination Of Pres
ident Roosevelt. There will be no oppo-
sition to him in the convention, and prob
ably this news from Ohio will put an end
even to the. talk Of opposition.
II know Senator Hanna's sentiments.
He is friendly to President Roosevelt and
has never been opposed to the president s
nomination. He did wish to wait year
before committing himself and his state
for reasons which he himself announced.
My belief is. that the exigencies and, per-
haps, the bitterness OF Ohio politics led
the senator to assume, somewhat hastily,
la position which he afterward found UNI
tenable. It would have been too bad to
permit local differences in Ohio to force
a, contest over a big national matter. Fer
Senator Hanna. there was nothing in the
contest except trouble and disappoint-
ment, no matter whether he had his way
or did not Besides, 1t would have hurt
the republican. party. It might have
stirred up very bad as we'll as very un-
necessary feeling. All Is well that ends
kwell, and all republicans will congratulate
both the president and Senator Hanna

cred by prominent party workers who are

The activity. displayed by the admins

There is one other thing Hefferman
said to me before he became unconscious,
and feel it my duty to tell it here. He
said that he recognized his assailant as
a prominent member Of the club
DR.. Denison had told Of his asking the
wounded man how he was shot and OF
sending him to Dobbs Ferry hospital and
he added the statement just given as II
with reluctance. Coroner Russell did not
ask him to reveal the name.
Meanwhile the colony around Ardsley
is greatly excited. The police who have
been working on the murder mystery be-
11eve that If the man. named by Heffer-
man did the shooting he was mistaken in
his man-that' he. really meant to kill
someone else and seeing Hefferman dimly
in the dark with q, woman on the club
terraces took him for the man he NAV
have meant to kill.
