His Putty Man Might Work Out
His Own Destruction.

John P. st. John, formerly cover.
nor Of Kansas, who is in Spokane tc
begin the fight for prohibition in the
State of Washington, made TWO pre-.
dictions in the course of an inter.
view:
Nothing except his death will pre-.
vent the nomination of Theodore

and If he is not elected no other kc.
publican can be.
Ten years hence there won't be

aries of this commonwealth. Spo.

Mr.. ST. John said among other
things in speaking of Roosevelt and
Taft:
Theodore Roosevelt is the sharp
est politician in the United States
But for him Mr.. Taft never would
have been thought of for the presi-
dency. Roosevelt knew Taft, be-
lieved him TO be an honest man and
80 do !, but he knew that Taft is a
putty man, soft putty at that. Soose-
velt helped to elect Taft. He knew
that his administration would be q
failure.
Roosevelt went off to Africa. He
is not mixed up in any of the ques-
tions before the people To-Day. In
the course of IS months he will re-
turn, covered with rhlno hides, ele-
phant tusks and glory. The howl
and yell element in politics will raise
the cry for Roosevelt. The country
will go wild over him. Nothing
except his death will prevent his
nomination to succeed Taft, and II
he is not elected it will be because

MEETS TRAGIC DEATH
AMERICAN ENVOY IN LONDON
FOUND DYING ON STREET.
w. I. Buchanan. of New York, on
Special Diplomatic Mission, Found
In Inndnn Almost Dead.

VIM. I. Buchanan, of Buffalo. n
Y, former American minister to the
Argentine Republic and Panama
who had been closely identified with
several important American displo-
matte missions, met a tragic death
few nights ago on London street.
He was discovered lying on q side
walk in Park Lane, near the Ameri-
can embassy, in a dying condition
few minutes before / 2 20 clock. and
was carried to st. Georges Hos
pital a short distance away. Life
was extinct when the ambulance
reached the hospital.
The cause Of death is not known
positively, but physicians who ex-
amined the body, state that it re-
suited apparently from heart dis
ease or apoplexy, and that there was
no indications Of foul play, which
was suggested.
There were no marks of violence
on the body, nor had robbery been
committed The body was placed
in the hospital mortuary, and the
police were notified. The identity OF
the dead man was discovered later
through inquiries sent out by the
management Of the hotel, where Mr..
Buchanan was staying. An inquest
was held.
Mr.. Buchanan, who had gone to
London on mission for the United
States government in connection with
the Venezuelan claims, had been
there for several weeks. He pre-
viously had visited Berlin and Paris.
He took up quarters at Claridge's
Hotel, one of the most fashinoable
in the city, which is located about
half a mile from Park Lane. He
left the hotel for dinner early in
the evening, attried in evening dress.
No one has been found who knows
where he spent the evening. but IT
is supposed he was walking home
when stricken. Park Lane is a par
ticularly quiet street on Saturday
nights, when most of the residents
are out of town. A passer-by foGnd

A policeman was summoned, and he
quickly called an ambulance, hat 1t
was too late for medical aid.
1t is customary in such cases In
England to perform an autopsy, but
the American embassy has requested
that this be waived.

Says The Women Of
THE METHODIST CHURCH
In Their Mission Conference ut So
vannah They Discuss and Condemn
the Nefarious Traffic, and Assert
That While Foreign Girls Are Pro-
tected, Native Girls Are Not

At Savannah the white slave traf-
fic among the young girls OF this
country, with its increasing scope
| and nefarious results, was the sub
! ject of two addresses at the meeting
OF the Womans Board of Foreign
Missions of the Southern Methodist
few days ago. One of the talks
was by Miss Mary helm, editor OF the
official organ of the board Of Nash
Vile, and the other by Prof. E. X.
Bishop, head of the Vashti Home for
Friendless Girls at Thumasville.
No subject that has been discussed
at the conference met such re-
sponsive chord in the hearts Of the
women who devoted their time and
efforts to philanthropic work in the
Southern Methodist Conference. 1t
is time we should be put on record
as opposing this nefarious practice.
said Miss Helm, after calling the
boards attention to the manner IN
which the tarfiic is carried on. 1t
is time we should ask for some legis-
lation prohibiting practice so de-
structive to the home ties, so in
imical to society. it is the source
through which hundreds and thou
sands are dragged to life of shame
and disgrace.
THE government has laws to pro-
tect the morals of the young women
who come into this country, but
there is not one law which protects
it's own young women, its own daugh-
ters. This is a matter which can
not be lightly passed o"er. This
board represents the greatest lead
ers in tie movement for moral uE2
lift, and its greatest good can pc
accomplished through fight waged
against the pernicious practice OF
tho white slave traffic"
Prof. Bishop said. among other
things, Our greatest fight should
be against the slave block OF today.
The block on which both white and
colored girls are sold. The bloch
on which the friendless girls are
sacrificed to world OF sin. 1t Is
slave block, for the forces OF sin
pu, value on the young girls, and
the value is cheap, degrading and
defiling.
Throughout the entire land this
slave trade is existing. Public senti-
ment should be awakened to the
condition and means. for taking. care
of the friendless should be made.
While no resolution protesting
against the traffic was passed one
will be prepared and will be adopted
unanimously.

DECREASE IN CONSUMPTION.
Cotton Mills Are Changing From
Coarse to Fine Products.

According to a preliminary state
ment prepared by Commissioner
Watson, the consumption OF cotton
by the mills of the State this yaer
will be 45,919 bales less than last
year.
The consuming Of less number OF
bales this year is caused by the fact
that most of the mills are changing
or have already changed from a
coarse to q finer product. Chang
ing from coarse grade to a finer
grade materially increases the value
of the product. 1t does not mean
that there has been curtailment
n production, but rather increased
value of production, product which
can be placed directly from the mills
on the Southern markets.
Only about Is mills, and half of
their production, turn out expert
goods, according to the statement.
Up until few years ago all OF
the mills manufactured a coarse
grade of cloth. Since 1907 there has
been a gradual change from the
coarse to the fine goods, all OF which
is beneficial to the manufacturer,
farmer and consumer.
The total number of bales used
in 1908 was 1896. The follow
ing, giving bales consumed by mills.

ferent Tales About the Matter
VIII Go to Mount Mckinley and
Bring Back Records.
AT New York Saturday night DR..
| Frederick A. Cook announced that
ne had organized an expedition to
ascend Mount Mckinley and pro-
duce the records which he says were
| left there on his former ascent.
This step will be taken to refute
the charges that he did not attain
the summit of the mountain as set
forth in the affidavit of Edward N.
Barrill, the guide who accompanied
him. In a statement to the Asso-
ciated Press DR.. Cook said:
Upon my return from Atlantic City
I conferred with a confidential agent
whom | had sent to Montana to in
vestigate stories which had reached
me in Kansas City to the effect that
strong inducements had been offered
Edward N. Barrill, the guide who ac-
companied me to the summit OF
Mount Mckinley in the summer OF
1906. This confident agent returned
from Montana this morning, and for
good reasons / do not care at pres
ent time to make his name public.
After thorough investigation there
he reports to me that an offer OF
considerable sum of money was made
to MIR. Barrill on the condition that
he prepare and sign an affidavit
which would be calculated to dis
credit my claim that 1 succeeded in
scaling the Alaskan peak. This offer,
so my representative informs me-,
was made to Mr.. Barrill in the pres
sence of C. G. Bridgford, reputable
citizen of Hamilton, Montana, who
is associated with Mr.. Barrill in the
real estate business.
Barrill at that time, according to
the statement of Mr.. Bridgford to
my representative, declined to make
such an affidavit and informed the
men who had requested him to swear
that did not reach the top of Mount
Mckinley that to make such an af-
fidavit he would have to commit per-
jury and sell his own soul.
within the next 4S hours, how
ever, affidavits made by prominent
citizens of Hamilton, Mont will be
handed over to the Associated Press,
and will be to the effect that during
the last three years Barrll has con-
tinually rehearsed the Mount Nc
Kinley story and has at all times
insisted that we succeeded in reach
ing the summit of the mountain. No
one has been found in Hamilton who
can testify that at any time he has
ever heard Barrill tell the story as
it is, related by him in his sworn
affidavit.
Il have received numerous tele-
grams from reputable citizen of Mon
tana, who have talked with Barrill
and are willing to make affldarits as
to his former version of the Mount
Mckinley trip.
