physician" Jumps Bond and Wife
Tries to Commit Suicide.

The excitement under which New Ro-
chelle, n. Y, labored the other day when
Samuel Bolin, who posed as a wealthy
physician, was arrested on a charge of
burglary was augmented the next day
when developments came rapidly. IN the
first place, Bolin failed to appear in
court when his case was called and the
$4,000 bail which friends had furnished
for him was forfeited. The next shock
when Mrs. Bolin told the police that,
while she believed her husband owned an
interest in a drug store in Harlem, his
regular occupation was that of bartender
in a saloon in the Bronx. Then came the
assertion that Bolin had served a prison
term in New Jersey and had been arrest
ed for burglary aud other things In New
York. This was followed by the report
that Mrs. Bolin had attempted suicide.
She threw herself in front of a slowly
moving trolley car on Main street. but the
car was stopped before she was in serious
danger. Later the police said that she
had disappeared from town and that they
did not know where she had gone. Ac-
cording to the story of Mrs. Bolin, her
husband twice attempted to kill himself
after he was released on bail, but she
prevented him. Soon after. she said,
he left the house and disappeared. Bolin
and his wife, who moved to New Rochelle
two months ago and bought a house in
the exclusive section of town, were re-
ceived into society and became popular.
Bolin was understood TO be a physician
and chemist and proprietor of a drug store
in Harlem. Early last Thursday morning
the police claim, he attempted to rob
Abraham Levinson's hardware store.
Bolin's counsel, ex-Judge John A. Van
Selm, told the court that he believed his
client had killed himself.

TALKS In H SOUTH.
PRESIDENT BOOMS DEEP WATER.
WAY AT MEMPHIS.
Given Great Ovation I'm Historic
Southern City - Acknowledges
Greeting Amid Din of Exploding
Bombs, Siren Whistles and Cheers.

The most remarkable public demon
stration in the history of the historic
Southern city of Memphis took place
Friday when the Lakes-to-the-Gulf wa
terways f%lotilla, bearing President
Roosevelt. rounded Hopefield bend in
the Mississippi just above the city Inc
moved slowly down the stream toward
its docks. The bank on hat side of
the stream at which the boats were to
was literally afiame with the ma
tional colors. Packed behind this bril-
liant bulwark were 10000 men, women
and children foregathered from ali the
country within a radius of forty miles.
AS the boats came into sight a wave
of cheers swept in a rising crescendo
over the crowd and an instant later
the sirens of a thousand steamboats,
stretching over two miles along the
shore burst into jubilation. When the
boats came near enough SO that OBJ
jects could be distinguished President
Roosevelt was seen standing on the
top deck of the vessel in the lead.
Then the din broke loose afresh. A
score of bombs were set off and the
crowd shouted itself hoarSe.
The President, still standing on the
upper deck of the government boat, ac-
k~nowledged the greetings while the
vessel was still in mid-stream. and the
cheering continued until he had been
escorted from the steamer into his car
riage and the parade through the
streets began. Between packed mass
eS of yelling, cheering humanity, the
parade wendell its way until Court
Square had been reached, where the
Presidential carriage was stopped and
the Chief Executive listened to water
ways anthem, Fourteen Feet Through
the Valley" al sung by 1900 school
children attired in uniform costume
and each waving a small American
flag. The effect of the picture was
most striking and the President was
visibly impressed.
The address of the President at the
convention, in which he strongly advO-
Gated the deep waterways plan, was
enthusiastically received. A distin-
guished array of Congressman of both
houses, the Governors Of twenty-three
States of the inland waterways COM
mission and delegates to the number of
1000, besides many spectators in the
general gallery of the hall, heard the
President speak and Joined in the APP
plause.
In his speech the President proudly
announced it was q Roosevelt who ran
the first steamboat on the big river.
He reiterated that the undesirable citi-
zen is still undesirable. He told the
people he had no excuse to offer for
his former declaration. President
Roosevelt was strong for deep water
and also took IN excursion into a new
field. He wants the people to be better
farmers II not let the hillsides wash
into the streams. He advocated intelli.
gent farming and saving Of the forests
and the utilization of water power in
manufacturing.

AuureSs at 81. LOUIS.
Among the impressive sentences in
the Presidents st. Louis address were
the following:
The chief economic question OF the day
for the great corporations engaged in in
terstate business; that is, for the rail-
road and the interstate industrial cor
porations.
Great capitalists . +" have shown
extreme unwisdom in their violent oppo-
sition to the assumption of complete con-
troll over the railroads by the federal gov
eminent. . . Q AS national CONNER
cial agents the big interstate railroads
ought to be completely subject to national
authority. Only thus can we secure their
complete subsection to, and control by, a
single sovereign, representing the whole
people.
L ask that the national powers already
conferred upon the national government
by the constitution shall be so used as to
bring national commerce and industry
effectively under the federal government
and thereby avert industrial chaos. My
plea is not to bring about Capitalization.
1t is that the government shall recognize
a condition of Capitalization in a field
where it already exists.
On the lower courses of the Mississippi
the nation should do its full share in the
work of levee building.
If we are able to keep up substantially
the rate of progress that now obtains We
shall finish the actual digging of the Pam
anna canal within five or six years.

"Gen." Coxey'. New Crusade,

"Gen." j. s. Coxey, who some years
ago led a sensational march on Wash
ington, is now out with a new scheme,
the main feature Of which is the absorp-
ton and operation by the State of rail-
roads and other utilities necessary to
the peoples welfare. lis idea is to have
these holdings taken over by the States,
payment being made by the issue of long
term bonds. these latter being deposited
with the federal government in return for
an issue of currency to the face value of
the securities less 1 per cent for the
expense of iotation. He thinks that this
loan could be repaid and the entire ex-
penses of the State met by the revenues
a~ccruing from the operation of the public
utilities. thus making a direct tax levy
On private property unnecessary. He
would in a similar manner extend his
idea to counties and municipalities. He
declares the idea of controlling the big
corporations while their ownership rests
with private interests absurd, and says
that public ownership will be the verita-
BILE salvation of the country. Coxey is
said to have amassed considerable prop
erty since his famous march"

Wreck ON the g. r. e I.

With a crash that could be heard for
blocks, Grand Rapids & Indiana pas
senger train No. 5 met a light engine
head-on in the yards at Traverse City.
Mich, but no one was injured. The
passenger train had been reported
fifteen minutes late and the conductor
in charge of the light engine, which
pulls the passenger train on the North
port run, thought he had time to get
to the roundhouse. Instead the pas
senger made up a few minutes and the
collision resulted, smashing the pilots
of both engines. The accident occurred
on a curve and the engineer of the pas
senger failed to see the light engine
until he was almost on it, but managed
to throw on the emergency brakes.
The crew Of the engine had stopped
and just started to back up when
struck or a serious accident, with loss
of life, might have resulted.

MAY BECOME AMBASSADOR,
Court of st. James Said to BE to
Roosevelt Liking.

"a VI So RINK Saiu to he "
RoOscvcIt's Liking.
The latest of many suggestions for
the benefit of Theodore Roosevelt. as
an eX-President, from London,
where it is said to have been discussed
in the fashionable clubs. 1t attributes
to Mr.. Roosevelt a desire to round out
m extended tour of the world by a
considerable residence in the British
capital as ambassador to the court Of
ST. James.
Very likely the President has men,
toned this as something that would be
to his liking, although it is doubted in
Washington whether he has ever seri-
ously considered it. He does contem-
plate quite a trip abroad, after March
4, 1909. At times he has dwelt with no
little anticipation upon the things he
would find pleasure in doing after Off
cial cares have been lifted from his
shoulders. He and Mrs. Roosevelt have
planned more than one trip they want
to take when he has become n private
citizen again.
Possibly foremost in these plans is
the visit to the capitals of the old
world. They were married in London,
and both have travelled extensively in
Europe. They are very DESTROYS of 60
ing again, of revisiting old scenes and
old friends and of making new friends.
They will hardly make such a tri-
umphal tour as ex-President Grant
made, but Mr.. Roosevelt would like to
meet a few of the European rulers with
whom he has been in communication
House. He would enjoy that probably
quite as much as some of the big hunt
ing trips for large game that he has, in
mind.
However, the President up to a few
months ago vas known TO cherish
strong hope of an election to the United
States Senate from New York. He
likes residence in Washington a por-
ton of the year. AS a Senator he
would continue TO have official promi-
hence, and could divide his time be
tween Washington and New York or
any city that might interest him. He
will undoubtedly do a great amount of
literary work in the few years follow
ing his retirement from the Presidency,
and Washington is "a very congenial
city for such efforts.
