Stock for Sale
Fof Development Pur oses

The per value Of the stock is 500
per share, but is now offered at one
half ($50) and it is worth it. The
company has already sold limited
amount of stock, equipped the prop
erty with the best working machinery
in the world and it has plans for a
great future. The money secured
from the sale Of stock will be to push
the work. Every dollar will be used
to prepare for the best interest of the
company. AS the drill goes down the
stock will surely rise. The price it is
now offered at will only be a short
time. A good rule is to let oppor-
tunity in when it knocks at the door.
For an investment there is nothing
more tangible, brighter or more surer
dividend paying than this stock, par
ticularly at $50 per share. Don't wait
until it goes to par, but buy now. It
is really chance that comes seldom.

ago wrote you stating that l had
been entirely cured Of severe kidney
trouble by taking less than two bot

CINCINNATI, Ohio, September 21.-Mr.
Taft has come to the support Of National
public this morning this statement. whict
he has sent to Mr.. Hitchcock at Chicago:
do not be disturbed by publications
with reference to your management Of
the campaign or statements of an inten-
ton to supplant you in control. The
presence of Senator Crane here gave
rise to differences which I attempted to
deprecate. I have every confidence in
you and in the state of your manage
ment, and 1 welcome the assistance, as
you do, Of Senator Crane and Of the an
cillary committee, but you are in su-
preme control.

committee" bears out the information OBJ
tanned here yesterday that there Is to be
a change Of method In the conduct OF the
Both the executive committee
OF the national committee and the repub-
lcan advisory committee are going to
take an active part in the campaign. Mr..
Hitchcock himself has come to see the
wisdom of this policy.
No friction has existed between the ma
tional chairman and Mr.. Taft, but Pres
ident Roosevelt has been dissatisfied with
republican inaction. Under the new plan
of cooperation there has been no inten-
tion of disposing of Hitchcock. He will re-
main in control, but, with his own con-
sent, he will serve from now on under the
guidance of the executive and advisory

pie say to me that they do not under

fore, have not taken an interest In this
vital matter. but everybody can under
stand that the school and other current
appropriations have been cut in the
effort to make the District pay cur
rently for extraordinary projects Of i'm

done without injury to our interests.
THE principle is plain even to those who
do not follow actual statistics. The Com
missioners will, of course, recommend on
this principle.

"JoY RIDERS" RUN OFF,
Abandon Auto and Sma:hed Wagon,
Leaving Driver Beneath.

A big touring car, with four or Ave pas
sengers aboard, ran into a wagon belong
ing to John Ridgely Of 213 H street north
west about $50 o'clock last night over
turning and badly damaging both vehicles
and pinning Ridgely beneath his wagon.
Ridgely was but slightly injured and
soon crawled out. He was surprised to
find that the autos passengers had dis
appeared. They had also removed the
number Of the machine, probably in the
hope that their identity could not be de-
termined should the occupant of the
wagon have sustained any serious in
juries.
Ridgely was driving In the direction of
the city. His team was almost directly in
front Of the entrance to Mount Olivet
cemetery when the touring car came along
and struck 1t.
Lieut.. Falvey of the ninth precinct went
with Sergt. Walsh to make an investiga-
ton of the accident. They found the
badly damaged automobile on the side
OF the road. There was no trace Of any
attendant.
Ridgely was able to go home without
assistance. This morning the damaged
automobile was removed to a garage
The police learned that the automobile
had been taken from the garage by a
chauffer, named D. Rev, without the
owners permission. The chauffeur, with
some of his friends, was using the car
at the time Of the accident. Rev has not
been seen since the affair, and the police
are looking for him.

MRS. MINOR MORRIS HERE
has TAKEN TEMPORARY QUAR-
TIERS IN EBBITT HOUSE.
Says She'll Stay Here-President's
Return Has Nothing to Do
With Her Presence.

Mrs. Laura Hull Morris. wife of DR..
Minor Morris, and central figure In what
has ever been termed the White House
incident" has returned to Washington.
She has taken up her quarters temporarily
at the Ebbitt House. but intends to find
q home elsewhere in the city and to again
make this her residence.
In an interview this afternoon Mrs. Nor
ris said her future plans are hedged about
with such difficulties that she cannot be
sure what course ultimately will be open
for her.
II would like to find employment with
my pen," said she, "and l feel that I am
eminently fitted for literary work. Also,
l am considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of
turning to unitarian end my ability
as musician. At one time earlier in
life taught on the piano. and 1 had no
difficulty in getting as much as IS an
hour for lessons. but / have made music
such a serious study that I hesitate to
use it in a professional way"
Speaking of her household goods.
which she said were left in her home
here Mrs. Morris stated she had learned
all Of her possessions have been shipped
to st. Louis.
1t had been her expectation to realize
considerable money from the sale of
many Of the articles which she needed
no longer and she may decide to seek
legal redress for the seizure Of her eff
fects. Nearly everything she thinks, is
in possession of one of her sons in St.
Louis.
Mrs. Morris has been with friends in
Albany. N. Y. and in New Jersey, not
far from New York city since she escaped
from the last insane asylum in which
she was confined at st. Louis She has
twice been committed to such institutions
since the white House incident two
and half years ago.
Mrs. Morris was emphatic in saving
that her return to Washington at this
time was in no way inspired by the re-
turn of President Roosevelt from Oyster
Bay.

LINCOLN. Neb., September 21.-Repre-
sentative George w. Norris of the fifth
Nebraska district, who is the republican
nominee for reelection, is opposed to Jo-
seph G. Cannon for Speaker. He said to-
day: IT am opposed to reelection Of Mr.
Cannon for Speaker. not because doubt
his patriotism or question his ability, but
because he uses the power of his high DO
sition to prevent consideration OF legisla-
ton asked for by the people and desired
by large body of the members Of the
House of Representatives. The most seri-
Gus objection. in my judgment, to his re-
election as Speaker is that he Is opposed
10 any change in present rules which
would take away or modify the unreas-
enable and arbitrary power now possessed
by the Speaker. and he does not hesitate
~ use this same arbitrary power"

The public schools of the District open
ed their doors today after the annual va
cation period of nearly three months.

Between 8 and o'clock this morning
the streets of Washington were gay with
the little folks attired in their best bibs
and fuckers, all hurrying schoolward. 1t
is the expectation Of the officials that the
enrolment of pupils this season may
reach the $4,000 mark. Last year it
reached nearly $1,000, and education In
the District is never on the wane.
The school period last year was marked
by much overcrowding of some of the
buildings. especially in the northwest.
To prevent repetition of this in the
school season Of 19os-19O9 the school
board has procured several portable
buildings. which have been termed
"schoolhouses ON Wheels" because they
can be hauled from point to point when
1t becomes necessary. These movable
buildings are said to be we'll ventilated
and comfortable, and will. at least tenn
porarily, solve the problem of housing
the Districts army of school children.

vided.

NOT TO DEPosE HITCHCOCK.
Senator Crane Denies That Chairman
Is to Be Subordinated.

CHICAGO. September 81. - Senator
Crane Of Massachusetts, today made a
statement which effectually disposes of
the widely published story that his visit
to western headquarters Of the republican
national committee presages reorganiz-
alton and the subordination of Chairman
Hitchcock's authority to that Of other re-
publican leaders. In order that there
should be no misunderstanding concern
ing his visit to Chicago at this time SEN
ator Crane dictated the following:
II came here at the especial request OF
Chairman Hitchcock, with whom l am,
as a member of the advisory committee,
associated, and who wished to consult
with me regarding the campaign. Mr..
Taft, whom / recently met at Cincinnati.
expressed himself as being thoroughly
satisfied with Chairman HitchcockS man
agement of the campaign"
To a representative Of the Associated
Press Senator Crane characterized the ru-
NOR that MI Taft is dissatisfied with the
MANAGEMENT of the campaign as being
unworthy of notice. He said, however,
that in view of the various stories printed
he anticipated being questioned by repre-
sentatives of the press. and he had de-
cided therefore to Issue q brief formal
statement.
Senator Crane will return to his home

man Hitchcock will return to Inc New

When Chairman Hitchcock arrived in

rooms at the Auditorium Annex, where
he was met by Senator Crane. They
had q brief conference there and then
went to headquarters in the Harvester
building and Senator Crane made the
announcement quoted. 1t was announced
In addition that Judge Charles Nagel OF
Missouri, q member of the executive com.
mittee, would continue in charge of the
western headquarters in the absence OF
Chairman Hitchcock just as he has in the
past.
Crane Invited by Hitchcock.
Mr.. Crane arrived in Chicago today be-
cause he was requested by Mr.. Hitchcock to
meet him here at this time. The real pur-
pose of the senator's visit is the financial
end of the campaign work. Senator Crane
is a member Of the advisory committee,
which was appointed by Chairman Hitch
cock to consider ways and means. Funds
for campaign purposes have been coming
in slowly from the west and middle
region. and Senator Crane was asked to
visit Chicago and confer with Fred w.
Upham. the assistant treasurer Of the ma
tional committee. At the same time Mr..
Hitchcock desired to meet him In confer
ence. as he has met him several times
