she did not believe Miss Peters In

"She told me she was going up

that I am certain she meant nothing

II have known Miss Peters about
two years. but. slthough she visited

spoken to me Of doing so. When she

Convention
FOLLOWING ROOSEvELT'S LEAD
IS F0RsAKIAG PARTY SANITY
n" Amount of Political Maneuverine.
Use of Patronage or Personal Abuse
Can Obscure the Issue Which Must
Be Fought Out.

New York, Sept. 16-There was a
sharp exchange today between Col.
Theodore Roosevelt and VIM. Barnes.
Jr., Republican state committeeman
and leader of the so-called old guard
IN Albany county.
In a published statement Barnes
said:
No amount of political maneuver-
ing, use of patronage or personal
abuse can in the slightest degree OBJ
scure the one issue which must be
fought out to finish at Saratoga.
There will be determined the future
OF the Republican party in the state
OF New York for some years to come.
There the party must determine in
Its platform whether it will be recog-
nlzed as conservin gforce, which
has been its history. or whether it
will follow the radical policies of
Roosevelt and lose the strategic po-
sition which it has held in the state
of New York for many years as the
party Of sanity and the protector of
the industries upon which the world
of business and labor must depend.
If it does not hold to its time 1lonored
and successful principles, but seeks
for new gods to worship, its mistakes
will be taken advantage of by its COM
mon adversary.
No radical candidate has ever car
ried the state of New York. Progress
in political life is essential to any
party. but the state leadership which
relies for its strength upon inciting
the mob can never. even II It tries,
stem the tide which it has created.
The Republican party in this state
has never failed in crisis 80 funda-
mental to its existance such as It
must meet at this hour"
When Barnes statement was shown
to Col Roosevelt, the latter dictated
the following comment:
II am indeed blessed in my enemies.
l am very genuinely grateful to
Barnes for having unconeciously made
the issue so clear between what he is
pleased to call 'Rooseveltism on the
one hand and on the other side the
alliance of the boss with that element
of the big business which seeks te
control politics in connection with
business"
Col. Roosevelt is in town to hold
political conferences and announced
soon after his arrival that one of
his visitors would be Lloyd c. Girls
com. chairman Of the Republican
county committee.
Col. Roosevelt will deliver an ad-
dress tonight at the Press club and
will spend the night at the home Of
his brother-in-law, Douglas Robinson.

SUICIDES IN RUSSIA
Increase Especially Noticeable in the
Large Industrial Centers

st. Petersburg, Sept. 16-It is a
significant phenomenon in Russian
national life that as the country is
recovering-at all events so 1t seems
to the outside observer-from the
effects of the troublous times of 1905
and 1906, the number of suicides has
risen. A work by DIR. Jankoff deals
with the loss of human life by vio-
lent means In European Russia dur
ing the last few years and is based
on official statistics. which, however.
are admitted incomplete.
In 1905, the pogrom or massacre
year, 26,000 lives were destroyed by
murder or by execution. The total
decreased year by year until in 1909
only 8,170 persons were killed in
these ways. These figures include
the suicides. which have risen, ac-
cording to official figures from IS
cases in 1905 to 557 in 1906, 1903 in
1907. 1905 in 1908 and 4.036 in 1909.
The number of suicides is especial
ly great In the large manufacturing
cities such as st. Petersburg and
Moscow. In the Russian capital the
number has Quadrupled in the last
four years. Some ascribe the in
crease to the despair In the ranks
of the revolutionaries and even In
those of the more peaceful reform
ers at the failure Of their agitation
and the triumph Of the reactionaries.
While in 1905 the pogroms alone
claimed 25,505 victims, only 1855 per-
sons perished in 1906 in the social
ed religious riots. In these periodi-
cal disturbances, DR.. Jankoff explains
the religious motive is now less an
parent than mere lust of plunder.
Terrorist outrages were RESPONSE
BILE for 9S4 murders In 1905. 4.262 in
1906, 6.e49 in 1907, 3,518 in 1905 and
1929 in 1909. The effects of the fu-
tile stuggle between the revolution
aries and the autocracy are plainly
discernible here. They 90 hand in

From 30 in 1905 they rose to 79S in

death sentence, but only $40 were

Mr.. Hines and Mr.. White are both

Conservation association, would not

1t for granted that Mr.. White, the

Mr.. White declined the once, moved

'@The Illinois delegation drew up

1t was Mrs. Ginnett who first enter

that led to the Investigation and the
