Last Election.
fRv Associated Press.l


New York, Nov. 24.-The eodore
Roosevelt toward the latter part of
his presidential term fatty refused
to consider running for mayor of
greater New York to aid the repub.
licans against Tammany in the re-
cent municipal election. This be-
came known today through Herbert
Parsons, president of the republican
county committee, who said he per-
sonally had made such proposal
to Roosevelt.
''While Mr.. Roosevelt was presi-
dent" said Mr.. Parsons, "And again
shortly before he sailed away for
Africa, I asked him if he would be-
come a candidate for mayor but he
absolutely refused to have his name
considered for the Office. never
asked him, however, If he would con-
sent to run for governor"
Asked why Colonel Roosevelt had
refused to consider the mayoralty
nominee, Mr.. Parsons said: IT think
he believed it was an Office which re-
quired great deal of hard work, a
great deal of attentions to details He
had just finished several years of ar
duous work at the White House and
he did not feel that we had the right
to draft him into the service again.
He felt that as a private citizen he
could be of better service to the state
and the country
Mr. Parsons said that he was sure
Roosevelt went away without any
thought of ever becoming United
States senator to succeed Chauncey

"A message was received by President
Hedges, of the Browns, that "Rube''
is stranded in Kansas City, where he
had parted himself from all his
worldly possessions in order that his
pets, two cub bears, might not have
to face the cold world with hungry
sstummies." This is the burden of
the twirler's appeal to his employer,
and the only thing Rube wants is
enough money to keep the wolf away
from his door until training time.

Small Possibilities Of Any More Min

iBy Associated Press.)

-
Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 24.-After more
than $50 bodies had been discovered
in the St. Paul mine early today ef-
forts to carry them to the surface
we're temporarily abandoned while a
battle was begun to check fire
which again threatened the main
shaft.
If the efforts to control the fire are
not successful early tomorrow it is
probable the mine will again be seal
ed and will remain so for weeks, if
not months.
No More Are Alive.
Today flames from the fire in the
second vein 80 feet below the sur
face had swept fifty feet up the main
shaft. Then the fire was forced back.
Mine Manager Taylor declared that
the destruction OF the main shaft is
imminent and with it the only possi-
bility of removing the bodies. That
no men survive in the mine now is
conceded even by the most optimis-
tic
The only part of the mine as yet
unexplored, and in which living men
possibly could be found, is the east
workings Of the second vein at the
entrance of which the fire is burning
fiercely. Twice, rescuing parties that
have ventured past the fire area, have
been temporarily cut off by the
flames, and rescued with difficulty.
No further efforts to venture into it
will be made until the fire is extin-
gufshed, which may be a work of
days. IT.

Chicago, Nov. 24.-(Special )-Chi-

night, donations seeming to flow into
collection centers yesterday under a
new impulse. Besides the actual
cash, donations of food and clothing
have been shipped steadily over the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail-
road.
The fund will be much larger than
now, as many benefits are yet to be
held and large numbers of churches
are planning to take up collections
