STILL BURYING THE SHIRT

takes the new allegiance to united country by
formally attending to its obscquies.
Latest among these men softened by years and
with vision clarified by a right perspective on !,

venor, in an address before the society of the
Army Of the Cumberland at Chattanooga. APP
pealng to his hearers to the waving of the
emblematic garment, the speaker urged his audi
ence and all students of the Civil War period not
to stop at the surrender at Appomatox, but 10
follow up the deeds and the achievements of the
Southern man, as he bulded up nation from
desolation and ruin, and, continuing he de-
clared:

COL. ROOSEVELT AS BOSS
OF CHINA CONSIDERED.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The news that
Colonel Roosevelt may be asked to ao-
cept h post of adviser to the regent
OF China at a very large salary was
current in Pekin a month ago, accord
ing to DIR. William Edgar Giel, who
mas just returned to America after a
year spent in studying the political sit
uation in China.
DR.. Giel left Pekin on August 1, and
at that time, he says, it was cur
rent gossip in political circles that the
palace authorities were considering a
proposition to engage Colonel Roose.
Welt to assist in plotting the country
through a rather stormy period. Many
or the diplomats, DR.. Giel declares,
were confident that the offer would ap-
peal to the American ex-president ana
might induce him to abandon the fight
against the bosses here to become a
boss himself in the Flowery Kingdom.
In speaking OF conditions DR.. Giel
said there was an "anti-baby move-
ment' in China, the leaders being op-
posed to the rule of the child Emperor.
This movement, he said, II it grew
rapidly, as many thought, might re-
suit in a revolution.
China is friendly to this country. he
said, and the political leaders in that
country regard President Taft highly.

BANK CASHIER DISAPPEARS.

"A warrant has been issued for the
arrest of E. c. Vermillion, cashier of
the Farmers and Merchants Bank, who
disappeared last Saturday. The charge
is embezzlement, but no amount is
named, and 1t is said that it will take
some time to determine the true condi-

open last night, after having been closed

Mr.. LORDS LETTER
Moves ROWLAND
TO PROMPT REPLY
Viii Not Support Uncle Joe"
Cannon for Speaker Under
Any Circumstances.

Harold J. Rowland, Progressive can
didate for Congress from the Seventh
district, has replied to the pen letter
issued yesterday by WiIliarA A. Lord
city counsel of Orange, In which Mr.
Lord took exception to q speech fay
ing Cannon and Cannonism. which Mr.
Rowland delivered before the Progress
siye Republican League Tuesday night
following letter:
civilian A. Lord, Metropolitan Build
ing, Orange, ". j.:
Il am glad to receive your letter Of
August 81, and to thank you for giving
me an opportunity to make my position
on the subject of Cannonisrn a little
mere clear than It has been possible to
do in campaign speeches.
1.-THE sentence which you quote as
coming from my recent speech in New
ark is entirely correct. To avoid any
possibility of misunderstanding, I with
repeat it here: Z will absolutely re-
fuse to vote for Mr.. Cannon, either in
q party caucus OF on the floor of the
house
1.-THE second question which you ask
describes a situation which Is so far
outside the realms of possibility that
it cannot fairly be answered categori-
cally. There is not the remotest danger
that there will be only two or three
Republicans who will refuse to vote
for Mr.. Cannon on the floor as we'll as
in the caucus. There is much more
likelihood that the Progressive wing Of
the Republican party will control the
party caucus than that the stand
pat" wing will control it, but I have no
desire to evade the issue presented by
your second question. My reply to it
is this: l will not vote for Mr. Cannon
for speaker, even though he is the
choice of the Republican party caucus
ours is a government of party. II
anything is to be accomplished in legis-
lation, it is essential that we should
have cooperation and united action by
the party representatives in Congress.
The Instrument by which such coopera-
ton of united action is brought about is

he had obtained a hairpin and was
picking the lock on the cuff.
