Phiiippi, w. Va, May 25.-This pretty
mountain town. which holds a place in
history because of the fact that the
first battle OF the civil war was fought
here, may figure further and larger in
American history should the movement
started here by one OF its most promi-
neHt citizens result in the nomination OF
Theodore Roosevelt at Chicago next
month.
Hon Charles F. Teter who Is one Of
West Yirginias Big Four" all Of whom
are instructed to vote for Secretary
Taft. has announced that he has con-
eiuded that the people of the country
want Roosevelt and no one else sad,
having reached such a conclusion. he
announces that he will. If opportunity pre-
sents-and he will help TO make such
opportunity-cast his vote for Roose-
velt
The political and business situation
Of this country demands the denomination
and election of President Roosevelt, -
said Mr.. Teter. Sentiment everywhere
is overwhelmingly for him, and there is
no sincere and genuine sentiment for
the nomination Of anybody else It is so
in this State. Although instructions
were given for Taft. il was a Roosevelt
sentiment that did It. The Taft senti-
ment here. as everywhere. is merely a
reflection from Roosevelt In taking the
position do I honestly believe that the
Republicans Of West Virginia viii in
dorse my action. If there is a chance
TO nominate Roosevelt. know that ;hey
would want their delegates TO avail
themselves Of ii. Hence, they will ap-
prove anything that is done whereby
that chance or opportunity can be ere
ated.
Would End Uncertainty.
'"rhe people Of this country want the
Roosevelt policies 20 be continued, and
they regard Roosevelt as the best man
10 do the job. II it were known now
that Roosevelt would be nominated at
Chicago, you would see business get bet
ter and industrial prosperity start up
again. It is the uncertainty Of what will
be the outcome-uncertainty as to who
will be the nominee. and who will win
next fall-that is responsible for what
ever business depression exists. With
Roosevelt nominated this would disap-
pear. His policies are established. his
election would be assured beyond ques-
ton, and confidence everywhere would be
firmly established"
Mr. Teter added significantly that he
had heard that several of the other men,
bers Of the delegation felt as he did with
reference 10 voting for Roosevelt. Mr..
Teter is one Of West virginia's big Re
publican leaders, and his declaration Of
how he Intends to vote In the Chicago
convention is decidedly significant TO the
politics Of this State and highly i'm
portant to Republican national politics.

This is the second break in the West
Virginia delegation. Gen. Curtin the

he had determined to vote for Roosevelt

SAYS HANSEN IS
COMING CHAMPION
Hjalmar Lundin Discovers a
Promising WeIterWeight
Wrestler.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., January Is
Hjalmar Lundin, the giant Swedish
wrestler, says that his pupil, Fritz
Hansen, is destined to be the greatest
welterweight wrestler at the careh-as-
eatch-can style that has ever twisted
his arms around an opponent. Lundin
and Hansen have just come to this
country from a tour of Sweden lasting
six months, during which Hansen never
refused q challenge nor lost fall.
Now Hansen is looking for champion
ship honors on this side of the pond
and will Immediately start after the
best in his class.
Lundin is an expert of the Graeco-
Roman style, but knows enough of Han
sen s style to serve as a valuable train
ing partner Lundin says that Hansen
is really the most remarkable wrestler
of his weight that has appeared for
many years.
why" said Lundin, "this young
fellow was only made to wrestle. He
sleeps, drinks and eats on the mat, and
whenever he is not in sight of Crap
ping match he acts like duck in the
DESERT
After Lundin had delivered this eu-
logy he proceeded to prove it by some
real action. The two wrestlers went
at it hammer and tongs, and soon the
air was full of flying legs, arms, half
Nelson's and chancery holds. Lundin is
close up to the 200-pound mark in
weight, while Hansen tips the beam at
80 pounds. Strange to say, however,
it was Lundin who was doing most of
the pirouetting in the vapors once his
smaller antagonist got going.
Hansen when stripped for action can
easily make 146 pounds, the weller
weight limit. He is Il years of age
and is five feet seven inches tall. His
other measurements are as follows:
Neck II inches; chest, normal, 401a
inches; chest, expanded, 4472 inches;
biceps, IA inches; forearm, II inches;
wrist, 7A inches; thigh, 22& inches;
calf, 1914 inches He is ruddy faced
and healthy looking, lives perfect
life and is always in condition to
grapple.

Mosse. who has been walking around
the world for four years on a $4,000
francs wager, called on Mayor McClel-
Ian yesterday to get the latter's auto
graph. Hosse is due in Lyons, France,
on June Il, and did not stay at the
city hall long. He is going to walk to
Quebec, via Albany and Buffalo,
whence he will sail for France.
Mosse is one of the eight men who
started on a long endurance walk
which was a contest between the Tour
lists club of France and the Sports
mems club of London. They were to
walk around the world. Mosse and his
partner started in Turkey, and he has
covered $1,000 miles. Three of the
eight men in the contest have died, two
were murdered in Abyssinia, one was
killed in China and one committed sui
eide in Turkey. Moses partner shot
himself Mosse has been earning his
living lecturing and selling his cards.

BURNS FIGHTS
PALMER TONIGHT
Match Looks to Be a Walk
Over for Heavyweight
Champion.

Unless tie dope is all toNthe wrong
Tommy Burns, the heavyweight cham
pion of the world, is due to tear off
another piece of easy money in dear
old Lunnon tonight.
The pudding viii be dished up in the
form of poor old Jack Palmer who
proved to be such a lemon on his visit
to the States.
The men are matched to box twenty
rounds at Wonderland for side bet
of $4,000 and so per cent of the gross
receipts, of which the winner will get
rs per cent and the loser % per cent.
As the public is allowed the priv
ilege of buying tickets, which was not
the case when Burns fought "Gunner
NOR before the National Sporting
Club, it is likely that thousands will
witness the battle, as the building is a
big one and the people will give up
their money without kick.
On March IL Burns fights Roche, the
Irish champion, in Dublin, the fnah-
cial conditions of the match being ex-
tremely favorable to Tommy. Unless
the combination of time, place and man
is too many odds for Burns to over
come, the battle, should still further
swell Burns already distended bank
roll.

JEFFRIES HAS
GIANT BOXER

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Jan. 27.-The
quietest season in Hot Springs history,
for sports is likely to be broken by the
arrival of Jim Jeffries, king bee boxer,
who enlightens friends here in letter
of contemplated stay taking baths. He
will be accompanied by Hector Hook,
the giant Boer boxer, who has, it IS
said, trimmed the best amateurs and
professionals in central and southern
Africa, and he has just finished bril-
liant career in India, defeating the best
that English colonists sent against him.
The big fellow is said to weigh more
and stand higher than Jeffries. The
champion s friends believe that s'Big
Jim'' is trying to develop real big
man to wrest the championship. Sew
eral letters received indicate that he.
had tired of finding such on this side
of the ocean.

FOOTBALL STAR
WILL PLAY EAST

CHICAGO, January 1S.--A western
football star is likely to make his ap-
pearance in eastern football circles
next fall, for Capron, the great drop
kicker of the University of Minnesota,
who made by his kicking every point
scored by the gophers in 1907, has an
nounced his intention of entering Dart
mouth this year. In case he comes to
the New Hampshire college, Capron
will be unable to play on the varsity
team until 1909, and will then have but
one year to kick field goals for the
green; but even that will help some,
for Capron as a kicker can be classed
with the three greatest kickers that
American football has known-Ecker-
salr and Hirschberger of Chicago and
Pat ODea of Wisconsin.

TWO BICYCLE THIEVES
CONFESS THEIR GUILT

Alfred Ferreira and John Santos, two
Portuguese youths, have been carrying
on a systematic business of bicycle
stealing for some time past, according
to their own confessions made yester-
day afternoon to the police. Last week
their hauls consisted of three wheels
from the Immigrant Station, one
from the office of the Hawaii Shinpo,
and another one from a store on Hotel
street. The wheels were sold to Jspa-
nese bicycle dealers at prices ranging
from one to three dollars apiece. The
wheel taken from the Japanese news
paper Office was new one and realiz-
ed the top price.
The theft of the Immigrant Office
wheels was reported to the police, who
have been working on the case. Yes
terday, at Aala Park, officer Espinda
noticed the two boys cycling wheel
suspiciously and recognized one of
them as answering the description of
onelsuspected by the immigration men.
He accordingly arrested the boys on
general principles and they We're taken
to the station. There they promptly
made clean breast of their guilt.
A part of one of the stolen wheels
was secured at the bicycle shop on
King at the foot of Alapai street, but
the others have been long since taken
apart, repainted, their numbers brazed
off and all marks Of Identification
effaced.
It is the ingenuity shown by the
dealers, among whom the Japanese
are the principal offenders, in altering
the appearances of the purchased stol-
en- bicycles that makes the recovery of
them almost impossible and the steal
ing of them by boys such safe BUSH
ness.

SOCIETY WOMEN
 AS LIFE SAVERS,
Work Hard Landing Steamers
 Shipwrecked Crew.

New York, July 20.-Eleven society men and women working like long shoremen, under the direction of Cap tain Hodges of the Montauk life saving station, helped to save twenty lives. Drenched to the skin, women who never had done any harder work than holding a pair of lines over spirited horse or playing tennis hauled at the cable of a brooches buoy until twenty men of the crew of the steamship Chip pewa had been hauled ashore.
 They then turned their hands to mak- ing hot coffee and reviving the men from the stranded steamer. who were exhausted by the battle they had been through for their lives.
 That the rescues were effected was due to the fact that the society folk, camping twelve miles from the govern ment house, heard the signals for aid fired by Captain Hedges. who was alone at the station. Providentially the wind was in the direction that car. ried to them the sound of the booming gun. telling of ship in danger. In three automobiles the party made the run from the camp to the station in twenty minutes and then worked eight hours until the rescues were accom- plished.
 In the party of campers were Mir. and Mrs. David l.. Van Nostrand and Miss Viola Van Nostrand of Great Neck Mir. and Mrs. William Post. MT. and Mrs. Fred Post. Mrs. Scott Libby and Mfr. and Mrs. William Titus of Willis ton and Everett Woodruff of Flusain:
 Mrs. Libby is very prominent in the Meadowbrook colony. and Mir. Van Nostrand formerly was county clerk of Queens county. The others are equally we'll known in Queens and Mas sau counties.

TAFT JOINS A UNION.
Is Elected to Steam shovelers'-Makes
 an Address on Justice.

an Address on Justice.
 Hot Springs, Va. July 20.-Judge Taft attended the opening of court at Germantown, five miles from here, to- day and delivered an address on the administration of justice.
 When Judge Taft goes to Cincinnati to be notified of his nomination for the presidency by the Republican par ty he will receive notice of his election as a member of labor organization. He has been elected member of the International Society of Steam Shov- elmen. MT. Taft had good deal to do with the steam shovelmen at Pan anna. His notification of his member ship in the union will be made on July %. He will probably leave here next Saturday for Cincinnati and may not return until the following Saturday.
 The Republican committee will ac- cept no contributions from corpora tions," said Judge Taft, and in an inter- view he also referred to labor, prohibi- tion and other questions. Mir. Taft said that not only would the law of New York state providing for the pub licity of campaign contributions be obeyed by the national Republican committee, but the federal law prohib- iting such contributions by corpora. tions in connection with the election of president, vice president, representa- tives or senators would be, followed without regard to any question of va lidity that might arise in respect to any provisions of that law.
