DREYFUS INCIDENT
IS ALLOWED TO DIE
GOVERNMENT WILL NOT PLAY
NATlONALISTS' GAME
Newspaper Men Disappointed Because
They Are Not Called Upon to Ex-
plain Their Statement About
"Resolute Patriot"

BY Associated Press.
PARIS, June 6.-The excitement pro-
duced by the attempt to kill Major AL
fred Dreyfus last Thursday at the Zola
ceremonies In the Pantheon Is rapidly
subsiding. 1t is now apparent that the
Clemenceau government does not intend
to play into the hands of the Notional-
lists by reviving the old Dreyfus issue.
and the Republican press generally is
minimizing the effect of the outrage
and ignoring the vaporings of the Ma
tionalist press.
Morris and Daudet of L'Action Fran
caise evidently are disappointed that
they were not hauled up to explain their
statements in this journal that "a res-
olute patriot had visited them and
offered to kill ,Dreyfus, but that his
proposal was rejected.
An editorial was published declaring
that the cause of the king will soon
overthrow the Dreyfus republic. He
defies the government to prosecute him.
The doctors have been unable to locate
the ball in Major Dreyfus' arm and say
that possibly it may have been elected
by the muscles of the arm.
Friends of Gregoris advance the the
ory that he used wax pellets instead of
bullets. These produce an abrasion OF
the skin, but otherwise are harmless
Some newspapers today say neither the
revolver nor any cartridges were found
after the shooting.

Sixteen More for Taft


Sixteen More for Taft
Sixteen more Taft delegates were
added to the temporary roll call OF the
national convention today as the re-
suit of the determination of contests
from Florida and Georgia. The oppo-
sition to Taft failed to score and the
state was wiped clean in favor of the
delegates instructed for the secretary
of war. One Florida district, the Third,
and three Georgia districts-the F1rst,
Second and Third-were passed over
until Monday because representatives
of the anti-Taft delegations were not
ready to proceed.
Counsel for the delegations instruct
ed for Secretary Taft moved the post
ponement and announced they did not
desire to take "snap judgment"
Vigorous use of the gavel by Chair
man New and the interference of
friends was all that prevented per-
sonal encounter between principals of
the Florida state contests. The pro-
ceedingS were enlivened also by the as
sertion that Representative Butler
Ames of Massa chusetts, who Is said to
have engineered the anti-Taft fight In
Florida. was responsible for the use
of alleged forged tickets of admission
to the state convention hall. This
charge was made I'm the form of an

Exhibit on New York
Street

NEW YORK, June 6.-"Rubber Tire
Johnsons upperpart that goes on wheels
scattered FIVE blocks of excitement
along Seventh avenue at 10 o'clock last
night, and now Central Office Detec-
tives Garrett and Haims are thinking
about putting in a requisition for roller
skates as part of their police equip
ment.
The detectives had never encountered
Rubber Tire" whose other name is
Harry. until they saw him at Seventh
avenue and Twenty-fourth street
though many in the department and all
those In the West Thirtieth street pre-
cinct have known him long. He has
been arrested often, and Carratt and
Mains were after him last night on a
charge of completely in the robbery of
Bertha Brooks of 123 West Twenty
seventh street.
The young woman reported at police
headquarters last Monday morning that
as she was going through Seventy
ninth street the night before a legless
colored man shot out of $50 on pair
of wheels, rammed her with his head,
knocked her down and then two con-
federates robbed her of $l.oO and some
jewelry.
The police suspected Rubber Tire
even before the girl recognized his pic
ture in the rogues' gallery. 1t was
a trick of which he had been accused
often. For twenty years since he lost
both legs at the hips, Johnson has
ridden himself around on board fas-
tened to a pair of wheels. He uses his
hands as motor and has acquired such
skill that he can speed at the rate of
twenty miles an hour, taking the street
crossings like hurdle.
The detectives saw Rubber Tire"
and his wheels last night. He was
talking to George Brooks, ''the Kid. "
whose picture had also been picked
out by Miss Brooks,
Not knowing Rubber Tires" speed
they thought he would be easy, so they
laid hold of Brooks. Next minute rub
ber Tire was making a record up Sew
enth avenue. Turning Brooks over to
a policeman the detectives set out after
him on wheels, who was scattering
the crowds like runaway auto.
The detectives couldn't overtake him
and nobody in his course evinced a
| desire to stop him. Poli2e whistles
| blew and signals flew and everybody
| in the houses along the way rushed out
| to see the novel chase. From Twenty.
| fourth street to Twenty-ninth street
Rubber Tire" had 1t all his own way
but here a policeman stopped him
Brooks and he were locked up on g
charge of robbery. The third mar
who participated In the robbery has
not been found.
