Washington, March 5.-After Colonel
Roosevelt is safely home and the
shouting has died down. the nation
will naturally look to him to choose
his company as between the stand
patters and the progressives. Presi-
dent Taft and Senator Aldrich are
symbolical of the reactionary group,
while La Toilette and Clapp are rep
resentative of the progressive element
of the republican party.
If the ex-president disowns Mr.. Taft,

WIFE AND THREE
CHILDREN SLAIN
Father Finds Them Mysteri-
ously Murdered in His
Pennsylvania Home.
ROBBERY SEEMS MOTIVE

Phenixville, Pa. Sept. 2t.-Return-
ing home from work in a nearby
graphite mine, John Saus of Byers, a
village eleven miles from here, found
the bodies Of his wife and two daugh-
tiers, Mary, four years old, and May,
n year old, on the floor of the
kitchen. In the yard lay Charles, his
young son, so seriously injured that he
died a short time after being brought
to the hospital here.
The skulls of all four had been
crushed as though with an ak or club,
but the identity of the murderer of the
family Is a mystery. The entire coun-
tryside has been aroused, and search
ing parties are securing the hillsides
for a fellow workman of Saus who
boarded with him and who is missing,
He was not at work this afternoon.
A. small bank book containing some
money and the Sauses' bank book are
missing. The boarder's friends refuse
to credit the that he is the muir
derer and advance the theory that he
may have taken the money and left for
a holiday trip.
All appeared to have been literally
beaten to death. The wounds on the
heads of the children were made by a
sharper instrument than was used to
crush the skull of the mother.
1t Is thought that Mrs. Saus and her
two little daughters were alone In the
house and that the intruder was sur
prised at his murderous work by the
appearance Of Charles upon his return
from school. He, the authorities think,
fed upon reaching the house and was
~overtaken in the yard.
Coroner William Mckinley was early
on the scene and after a cursory in
vestigation said:
indications are that Mrs. Saus and
her children were murdered by the
missing boarder, and the only motive
attributable for the crime is robbery.
