dorses the administrations of Presi-

ROOSEVELTv|C VICTOR
Chosen Chairman Of New York
Republican Convention
old GUARD BADLY ROUTED
Bitter and Acrimonious Speech Pre-
cedes the Taking Of the Vote
on Chairman.

Saratoga, y. Y, Sept. 2S.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt rode on the top
wave of victory, defeating Vice Pres
ident Sherman for temporary chair
man of the Republican state conyen-
ton and bowling over the old guard
in the first engagement of a series of
conflicts that are to come.
Colonel Roosevelt was in his ele-
ment After he had named the mem
bers of the three important commit
tees and the convention had adjourned
for the day the colonel tIrned to the
newspaper men and remarked
you may recall that l said fraz-
Zled. You may quote me on that.
At Troy the former president said
he would beat his opponents to fraZ-
zle. There were 1,012 votes cast in
the convention, of which Colonel
Roosevelt received SCI and Vice Pres
ident Sherman received AS.
In his speech as temporary chair.
man Colonel Roosevelt spoke feeling
ly of what President Taft had accom-
plished in his administration, saying
that the laws passed reflect high
credit upon all who succeeded in put
ting them in their present shape.
Colonel Roosevelt bitterly assailed
the bosses" declaring that the differ
ence between a boss and a leader is
he
drives.
Much Feeling Expressed.
1t was day of bitter and acrimoni-
Gus speech. With the opening of the
convention State Chairman Woodruff
defined the position of the old guard
and announced that Vice President
Sherman had been selected for tempo
rary chairman by the state commit
tee. And then the real fight was on.
Colonel Abraham Gruber of New
York city had been selected to fire
the verbal hot shot for the old guard.
and his speech attacking the former
president was often broken and
drowned by Kisses and jeers.
The victory of Colonel Roosevelt in
the first counting of noses did not ap-
pear to dishearten the members of the
old guard, for they continued their
fight on the convention floor when the
progressiyes submitted resolutions
whereby the committees should be
made by representatives from each
congressional district, the members to
be named by the temporary chairman.
Seeing that this gave absolute pow.
er to Colonel Roosevelt, Speaker
Wadsworth of the assembly strongly
opposed the resolutions. He took the
position that each congressional dis
trict should name its own member, as
had been done in previous Republican
committees for many years The pro.
gressives, however, were in the as
cendancy and the resolutions as
drafted by friends of Mr.. Roosevelt
were carried.

London, July 5.-King Georges cab
met decision to appoint Hon. Lewis
Harcourt viceroy of India to succeed
Lord Mimic is ascribed to the power
welded by a beautiful American Wom-
an, Mrs. Harcourt herself. who was
Miss Mary Ethel Burns, daughter OF
w. H. Burns of New York city.
Having been the transcendent cause
of her husbands ascendency in British
politics. Mrs Harcourt will divide
honors iwth him when he takes control
of affairs in India. 1t is predicted that
she will be even more popular as vice
refine than was either the gentle Mary
I.eiter, wife Of Lord Curzon, or the
tactful Lady Minto. Her beauty and
accomplishments are the talk of Lon
don society.
1t was under the reign of King Ed
ward VII that Mrs. Harcourt achieved
universal distinction in British society
OF the highest circles. Many rich wom-
err give parties throughout the Lon
don season without ever becoming re-
gaf,.ed as "hostesses." Their enter :
t:,innents are taken as matter OF
course The women themselves fall to
impress their individuality on the
guests. With Mrs. Harcourt, however
all was different.

POLICE SEARCH
FOR CRACKSMAN
SAFE At WAsHlNGToN BLOWN
OPEN ANo SIS TAKEN--MAY
BE oTTuMWAN.

The Ottumwa police are searching
for the craftsman who blew open a
safe at Washington Sunday night
July 8, and stole SIS. The Washington
and OttumW.a police believe that the
work was done by an amateur safe
blower from Ottumwa as new brace
and bit were found on the floor,
wrapped in the paper of the McCarroll
hardware store. The safe blower was
not molested and made good his es-
cape. While the explosion was heard
by several washington people, they
thought nothing Of the matter, imag-
ining that it was some youngster firing
OFF some large crackers, and the rob-
berry was not discovered until yester-
day morning when the proprietor
opened the store. The Washington po-
lice suspect young man about 25 or
80 years old, who wore dirt-covered
trousers and had a bad appearance, as
the man who committed the robbery.
William McMire Of Marshalltown
and Harry Cylde of Cedar Rapids
we're arrested yesterday by Officer
Levi Noah upon the charge Of petit
larceny The two men are accused Of
stealing pocketbook containing 81
from the coat of William Drenetress
at the union station. The two men de-
MED the charges this morning ana
will have their preliminary trial to-
morrow morning at o'clock.

Mrs. Harcourt was shrewd enough to
discover in advance Of almost every
other entertainer that "crushes" were
regarded in royal circles as "bour-
geois." With extraordinary tact
therefore, she limited the number of
guests at her entertainments and Sc
lected those who should be brought to-
gether. The right people" were al
ways invited. Royalty Immediately
recognized her diplomacy.
The parties Mrs. Harcourt gave,
while small, were brilliant, and inter-
esting to the king. Usually they rep
resented political power Mrs. Har-
court took no part in political discus
sions, but appeared at all times as a
self-reliant, resourcefui. womanly wo-
man and became immensely popular
among the leaders of the government.
Her reward comes under the reign OF
King George v.
It is related of Mrs. Harcourt that
she does not care to tramp over the
moors with sportsmen, bearing gun
on her shoulder. Rather she inclines to
remain in the tent and say soft
something's to them when they halt
in the chase, or to pour their tea In
the ancestral hall when the days sport
Is finished.

Of specific topic. Three phases o.

Taft Addresses Teachers.
The retention Of the Philippines by
the United States and the policy which
is being pursued by the administers
tion with regard to the island posses
sions were vigorously upheld by Pres.
ident Taft in his speech at the formal
opening of the National Educational
association convention yesterday.
The President discussed the consti-
tuition at some length and spoke of the
extension of the American government
to the Philippines.
"When the war Of 1898 was ended
he said, 'there seemed to be only one
course for the United State govern.
ment to follow and that was to take
over the Philippians, establish law and
order, and then to teach the people
enough in learning and in the practice
of popular government to enable them
to take over government and main
tain it permanently. Meantime we had
to suppress an insurrection In order to
initiate such policy.
Adhering to the Constitution.
"Those who were responsible for
the policy have been subjected to the
severest criticism in that they are said
to have violated the proposition of the
declaration of independence. that to
secure the rights of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness governments
were instituted among men, deriving
their Just powers from the consent OF
the governed.
II affirm that there is nothing in the
Philippine policy Of this government
which is at variance with the language
from the declaration of independence
which have quoted when that Ian
guage Is properly understood by the
same sort of construction as Lincoln
gave to the language all men are ere.
ated equal
when the time shall arrive when
the Filipinos can be safely trusted to
organize and maintain permanently
their own government. and this gov.
ernment shall withdraw from the
islands or offer to do so, the PROPOSE
ton Of the declaration of independence
will have been fulfilled and the gov.
ernment will be a just one, for it will
rest upon the consent of the gov.

to pass without any accidents. Young
O.tumwans discharged hundreds OF
dollars worth of fire crackers through
out the day observing the anniversary
Of independence day, but no one was
hurt. Several elderly Ottumwans suf-
fered from burnt fingers in showing
the youngerl generation how to set OH
the fire crackers, but the injuries
were not severe. Reports received all
over the country by the Chicago pa
pers show that this Fourth Of July
showed a death toll Of only twenty
four, a great decrease over that Of for
mer years. The injuries were also less.

minor accidents reported, against 399
last year. Philadelphia had one death

seven injured last year.
