Especial to The Sentinel

Especial to The Sentinel.
Washington, July 9.-There are
good reasons for believing Gibson
Gardner to be the best source in the
country for inside information as
to what Roosevelt's campaign of ac-
ton is to be.
AS newspaper correspondent
Gardner accompanied Roosevelt from
Egypt to Washington. He had al
most daily conversation with the ex-
president.
Gardner had more advance Informal
ton than any other Washington cor
respondent.
In a word. Gardner is Roosevelts
press agent. T. R. has told Gardner
SO much in confidence. however, that
Gardner is not as free to write what
he knows as he would like to be.
Now what do you say Roosevelt
will do?" was asked Gardner today
at the same time recalling the recent
meeting of Taft and Roosevelt
viii, or will not, Roosevelt indorse
the Taft dministration?"
AS newspaper man" said Gard
ner. you can safely gamble your
reputation that Roosevelt will never
do any of the following things.
First: He will not indorse the
Taft administration.
Second: He will not make any
speech or use any other effort to
assist any standpatter to secure re-
election"
Would RoRosevelt accept re-
nomination." he was asked
II will answer that question in this
way" said Gardner. when Roose-
welt returned to America after his
long absence he made a public state
ment in which he expressed a willing
ness to serve the people. He could
do that either in private capacity
or in the capacity of public official
| think he would serve in the capacity
that the people wish. If the people
should call upon him to serve an
other four years as president, and
that call should be loud enough to
convince Roosevelt of its sincerity, l
believe he would not shirk that or
any other responsibility that the peo-
pie would wish to place upon his
shoulders.
But repeat that you are taking
no chance in predicting that Roose-
welt will not indorse the Taft admin
istration. Taft has betrayed his
promise to carry out the Roosevelt
policies. and has chosen for his asso-
ciates those statesmen who are no.
torious as tools of the special inter
ests. The tariff barons and Wall
street are in the saddle in Washing
ton, and Taft serves them first and
allows the people ito take the crumbs.
"Taft's party solidarity policy is
about. the only real policy he has. and
1t is slur upon American patriot
ism.
Il have no hesitancy in stating that
Taft will go down In history as the
weakest president that ever occupied
the White House."

TANGLED Up
IN A GUN
SCRAPE
WOMAN KNOWN HERE

Mrs. Kittie Harris, formerly of this
city but now living in Denver got
tangled up in a shooting scrape in the
capital city at an early hour this
morning.
1t appears that her husband,
George Harris. employed by Rufus
Clark. returned Unexpectedly to his
home near Denver after an absence
of few weeks. and found that his
wife had become what he considered
too friendly with young fellow
named Jesse Barnes.
Harris laid in ambush for the cou-
pie and at 1890 this morning they
passed enar a bridge where Harris
was lying in wait. Harris then fired
two shots at Barnes. the second shot
striking him in the thigh. Barnes
was taken TO the Clark ranch where
his wound was dressed. and Harris
was placed under arrest Mrs. Harris
was placed in custody to appear at a
witness.
Mrs. Harris has written letter to-
her mother in Grand Junction asking
that she come to her and place her in
an asylum. as she declares she is in
sane and wants to be placed in con-
finement.
Mrs. Harris was divorced from her
first husband and married Harris
about eighteen months ago.

REMARKABLE INCIDENTS IN LIFE OF DIR. c. HYDE CHARGED
WITH POISONING TO DEATH HIS WIFE'S MILLIONAIRE UNCLE

Long befores uspicion pointed to
DIR. Bennett Clark Hyde, charged
at Kansas City with the murder of
Col. Thos. Swope, the millionaire,
Hyde's friends, having in mind the
Stevenson story of dual personality
'Dr. Jekyll and Mr., HYDE" were
wont to. jest him on the vice versa
coincidence of his name.
Hyde was the incarnation of evil
in the Stevenson story, while
Jekyll was the generous and noble
doctor. "Dr. Hyde" therefore sug-
gested by antipodes "Mr. Jekyll'
for the Kansas City Hyde was a
doctor, and he was often lokingly
asked to go to his other self, "Mr.
Jekyll." He always laughingly
entered into the spirit of what was
long a mere quip, but which In re-
cent years has been an Increasing
sinister coincidence, eliminating
in the direct charges which in
volye a duality of personality.
1t was Is years ago that BEN

lice surgeon by Mayor Webster
Davis. DR.. Hyed entered upon his
new duties modestly and no fault
was found with the manner in
which he performed them for six

FLOOD AGAIN
THREATENS
PARIS
SEINE RISING RAPIDLY AND
Is EXPECTED TO REACH
FORMER HIGH MARK.

PARIS, Feb. 16.-The river
Seine is rising again today, and
the flood situation is assuming an
alarming aspect. Houses at AL
louisville and in other low lying
suburbs of the capital are being
abandoned by their Inhabitants,
who are moving to the higher
ground.
General rains throughout the
country and melting SHOWS at the
headwaters of the Seine and Marne
are responsible for the serious
condition confronting the city.
A further rise of four or five feet
is predicted, and today the Seine
at the Pont de Austerlitz meas
ured a depth of 10 feet inches.
The hydrometric bureau an
nounced today that the indications
are for a general rise for the next
two days, and that it is possible
the river may go to "a feet, which
is within four feet of the recent
maximum when flood conditions
prevailed.
Following their custom at the
recent flood, hundreds of poor
families from the suburbs are
floeking into the city. They bring
tales of damage and disaster
such as preceded the great flood
of fortnight ago.
Owing to the difficulty expert
enced by civil engineers in re-
pairing levees and embankments

Paris.
