WILD OVER ROOSEVELT
Ex-President Gets Remarkable
Reception-Six Cars in Train.

Grand Island, Neb. Aug. 26.-The West
gave former President Roosevelt a warm
greeting to-day. The people gathered in
crowds at ell places at which he stopped in
his journey across Iowa and Nebraska, rang
bells, footed whistles and cheered, while
bands played. They stood on roofs, climbed
telegraph poles and scrambled on tops OF
cars on the sidings to him.
The welcomers began their cheering be
fore Mr. Roosevelt was out of bed and kept
ie up until long after dark. When the day
was done Colonel Roosevelt said that he
was greatly pleased by the way the people
of the West had welcomed him back again"
Following his arrival in Cheyenne Wyo,
tomorrow, the former President will make
the second set speech Of his Western tour
at cowboys carnival
MIR Roosevelt was called out of bed to-
day by the people of Marshalltown, Iowa,
who had gone to the station before break
fast to see him and would not be denied
Clad III a rain coat and slippers. he made
the first speech of the day before o'clock
From then on it was almost a continuous
performance. At every point at which the
train stopped a speech was demanded. Mr..
Roosevelt kept on talking until his voice
began TO grow husky and he was urged to
stop.
At Dunlap. Iowa. some one pulled the
bell cord just as Mr.. Roosevelt reached
the back platform and placed his arm
aloft, in his characteristic pose. He was
about TO speak when the train pulled out
leaving the crowd standing disappointed
but amused. Mr.. Roosevelt was allowed
less than a minute for his speech, but he
made such good use of it that thereafter
attempts to suppress his speeches were
given up.
The manager of a Wild West show on
exhibition at Grand Island wired to the
agent in charge Of the Roosevelt train
urging him not to stop here. tie said he
was afraid that if the former President
should stop every one would go TO the rail-
road station to see him instead of to the
Wild West show.
The ex-President stopped at Grand
Island. and it looked as though the circus
managers fears had been realized. But
and the people of Grand Island had time
to so to the show.
When Mr.. Roosevelt left New York all
the members of the party travelled i'll two
cars which were attached TO regular
made UP in q special train. At Chicago
yesterday one car. carrying 4 party of
men who are going along merely to See
what happens, was attached George Ade
is one Of the curious ones. Three more
cars were added to-day, and railroad Off
GERS gave up all hope of hauling them on
regular trains.
Archie Roosevelt met his father in
Omaha and rode with him as far as Ere
mont Neb. He has been staying on Seth
RuI1ock'S ranch, In North Dakota.

SEA LIKE FIELD OF SNOW
Curious Phenomenon Witnessed

From The rrihune Bureau. !


Washington, Aug 26.-Verification of
a phenomenon witnessed by the crew of
the American barkentine Aurora off
Callao, Peru, has been received 1y the
United States Weather Bureau The
captain of the ship reported that off
Calao he sailed into vast area Of snow
white water. which extended in every
direction and required an entire days
sail to traverse A bucket filed with the
liquid when left an hour on deck grad
ually assumed normal sea water color.
This was more than month ago but
the story is now corroborated in state
ment sent to the Weather Bureau by
Captain Wallace of the British ship
Sardhanna. In his report Captain Wal
lace says:
"As soon as it became dark the water
was brilliantly illuminated as far as the
horizon all around, and the sea was re-
Tnarkably smooth. The water was not
glittering as if lit by phosphorus, but
white looking, exactly as If the ship was
sailing through a vast level snow field.
1t was brightest about p. m. and then
gradually became less bright-disap-
pearing about $40 p. III. The tempera-
ture was 60 degrees Fahrenheit When
some water was drawn up and put into

BRUCE TALKS OF INQUIRY
Ready on Sept. 7 for Testimony
on Legislative Corruption.

NJ Linn Bruce, former Lieutenant Gov
ernor. who is chief counsel for the iegis-
lative committee investigating charges OF
wrongdoing by Legislators, has about nm
ished the preliminary work and Will De
ready on September Z to go into the eX-
animation of witnesses
1T was a tremendous task 10 so over
the whole Aids investigation and the
Hftchkiss insurance inquiry, SAID MT
Bruce at the Manhattan Hotel last night
before he started for his home in the
country where he is spending the summer
THE Aids investigation covers more tnan
twenty-five hundred printed pages, Whlle
the Hotchkiss inquiry covers more than
fifteen hundred pages of typewriting.
had to 60 through the whole of these two
documents, for l consider that they fur-
nish the groundwork for a large portion OF
the inquiry which the committee must
make.
THE committee has secured suite or
five rooms in the Liberty tower, so that
we are in good quarters of our own at
the centre of the business portion of the
city We are now installed and ready for
business. Everybody is away on vacation
lust now, and we thought 1t best to wait
until after Labor Day to get down to the
real work. 1t is no little task to root out
legislative corruption, if such existed
The only way to do such work is when
some one comes forward, as Senator Con-
ger did, and makes a direct charge Out
side of that we have mere conjecture and
hints to go on
Have you as yet decided in what order
the investigation will be conducted?
We'll, I suppose viii follow the or
der laid down in the resolution The
Aids matter comes first, then the Elling-
wood g. Cunningham books, and the Hotch-
kiss insurance investigation into all COM
panies except life. 1 have no doubt We
will follow that order.
DO you expect to have James j. Buck
ley as witness?
II cannot say. I understand that he has
removed the furniture from his home in
Albany and that he has gone 20 live in
London. If that is SO it will be hard for
us TO get him before the committee. If
he comes back to this state. however, We
will call him before the committee, and
then he will have TO answer all ques-
tions.

TAFT TO IGNORE FIGHT
President Will Not Take Part in
New York State Struggle.
GAVE ADVICE RELUCTANTLY
Now He Will Leave State Lead
ers to Settle on Candidates
and Platform.
;By The Associated Press. J

Beverly. Mass, Aug. 26.-Indications
continue to multiply here that President
Taft's participation in the New York
and that he will leave the situation to
be handled In its entirety by the party
leaders. including Theodore Roosevelt.
The President will have nothing to say
as to candidates or platform. He is not
resident of New York. and he does
President Of the United States to inter-
fere or dictate in local fights.
Mr.. Taft was drawn into New York
politics reluctantly. He was glad to see
the various leaders as they called, and
he urged upon all the Importance of try
ing to bring about an amicable adjust
ment of affairs prior to the state con-
vention This. it appears, was impossi-
BILE. and now the fight goes to the con-
vention Mr.. Taft will keep hands off" :"
According to recent callers at the sum-
mer White House the President feels
far more keenly than he let appear in
his letter to Mr. Griscom the false light
ments. The President had every reason
to believe that leaders close to Mr..
Roosevelt knew exactly what his atti-
tude was and what his actions had
been They had first hand knowledge
of the fact it is said here, that Mr.
Taft had done none Of the underhand
things that were charged against him.
1t is pointed out here by Mr.. Taft s
friends that LLOYD c. Griscoms president
Of the New York County Republican
Committee. who stood sponsor for Mr..
Roosevelt was in President Tafts IL
brary at Burgess Point when the Presi-
dent sent the long telegram to Vice
President Sherman. since made public,
telling him TO do nothing without the
approval of Mr. Roosevelt which would
in any way involve the administration.
MIR. Griscom, it is said here, took
copy of this telegram back to New YORK
with him Armed with this message,
which outlined the Presidents position,
and fresh from a conference with Presi-
dent Taft which lasted nearly all night
Mr.. Griscom went almost Immediately
to see Mr.. Roosevelt.
In view of these facts Mr.. Taft was
thoroughly wrought up when he read
the subsequent newspaper attacks. He
wrote his letter to Mr.. Griscom as
matter of satisfaction to himself and
declared as he sent 1t, that 1t was
matter Of entire Indifference to him
whether it was ever made public or not.
The President in the mean time warned
every one connected with the admin
istration in Beverly to make no reply to
the misrepresentation of his attitude.
Soon after the recent incidents at New
York it was announced that Mr.. Girls
com would visit Beverly in a few days.
It is said here that Mr.. Griscom has no
engagement to see the President.

who appeals TO you on the ground that
he is against the corruption OF one par

in some one else. l know financiers,
and the papers that represent great

When Colonel Roosevelt ended his re-
marks there were many and continued
calls for Mr.. Cummins to speak
National Salute Fired.
AT Council Bluffs former National
Committeeman Hart came aboard the
train, as did ex-Secretary Garfield and
a number OF local politicians. At p. m.
the long run across the wind swept
prairies of Nebraska was begun, the first
stop being at Fremont where several
thousands of people greeted the former
President with the utmost enthusiasm.
while an attempt was made to fire
national salute with some ancient ord
nance The stay was not sufficiently
long to permit OF its conclusion before
the train pulled out. but the booming of
the old cannon came echoing down the
line as MIR. Roosevelt stood on the rear
platform waving his goodby. One of the
amusing features OF the day was the
prevalence of Teddy bears at Council
Bluffs. Several Of the motor cars had
these small effigies wired on the front of
their generators. Mr.. Roosevelt appears
to enjoy this token of esteem, and is
especially delighted when they are held
UP to attract his attention by the little
people in the crowds.
The Roosevelt train made its second
stop in Nebraska here, and again a
thoroughly Republican crowd greeted
the former President. Throughout the
trip the crowds are noteworthy for their
character the more prosperous people in
the community always making up a
large part of the assemblages which
have welcomed Mr.. Roosevelt and
cheered his remarks. Tomorrow morn
ing the Roosevelt party will reach Chey-
enne in time to take part in the thor
oughly typical Western festival known
as frontier day.
1t is Mr.. Roosevelt's purpose to spend
a quiet Sunday in Cheyenne as the guest
Of the Governor, and to resume his
travels early on Monday morning, when
he will start for Denver The ex-Presi-
dent a. is customary. shows no evidence
of fatigue, but those who compose his
party, and who have been for q week
