NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Follow-
ing the conference of New York
progressives, who announced that
Roosevelt's name would be pre-
sented as temporary chairman of
the Saratoga convention, it was
learned today that the regulars are
preparing to fight the issue to the

Roosevelt will come into the open

ing the temporary Craftsmanship
direct issue with Vice President
Sherman, has caused activity
among the regulars, and they are

The program for tonight Is a
banquet given by Governor Stubs

The Roosevelt train on last nights
journey was greeted by crowds at

colonel did hot make many speeches
after dusk, but ne frequently
stepped to the rear platform to
wave his hat at the people.
Clifford Pinchot and former SEQ

IN daily conference with the colonel
and It Is evident that the middle

last night that Garfield and Pinchot
should leave the train at Kansas

Senator La Toilette in his fight for

Probably the most serious aspect of
the one-room dwelling is its effect on
the family life of the workmen. Ger
man newspapers often allude to the in
creasing 'roheit' among tie children,
word which means that they are
rougher. ruder and less anenable TO
the gentler influences. Criminality
among the youth of Germany, although
it shows slight decline in the last
year for which statistics are forth
coming. has reached dangerous height
and is far more prominent than il was
a few years ago. TO attribute the
whole of this decadence to crowded
dwellings would be an eXaggeration,
but German themselves admit that
certain aspects of youthful crime,
which are unfortunately largely on the
increase. are due directly to this cause.

MUCH FOR IMPROVEMENTS.

the eight years ending June so. 1909,
s121. SOS, 900 had been expended for i'm
provements. He said that in the five
years preceding the reorganization of
the Union Pacific only $201,0O0 was

the three years succeeding only $751;

In another set of figures for the
eight years ending June 80, 1901, only

Pacific for all classes of improvement
in efficiency, while in the eight years
ending June 80, 1909, S241,944,O00 was
expended.
On the whole, the witness pictured
the merged system as a national bene-
factor that had dug deep down in it's
pockets to provide a railroad system of

aggregate dealings yesterday, was

There was no one stock as prominent

the congestion of dealing in Union

the aggressive upward movement OF

fact pointing to the same conclusion

Gus features of the entire case. None
has ever satisfactorily explained the
origin of the disease. Yet eight per-
sons in the residence became afflicted
with typhoid fever between December

tendance until December Is, when the

ence and he left.
Soon after the sensational answers

was filed today, Judge Walter Powell
decided that reports of the scientists
sough by Hyde's attorneys should
not be made public until Mrs. Logan
H. Swope was willing for them to be
released. They are now in her hands.
Warfare for the dispositions of Mrs.

Swope and Miss Pearl Kellar will be
renewed tomorrow by DR.. Hyde's at
torneys. If the women refuse to give
their dispositions upon being sub
poenaed, an officer will serve attach

The preliminary hearing of DIR. B..

by Justice Loar today.
Attorneys for the Swope estate to-
night notified Frank P. Walsh, DR..

would ask for an injunction tomorrow

tains the feudal constitution it pos
sessed in the middle ages, want mod
ern free constitution they must work
out their own salvation.
The grand duke of Mecklenburg and
his ministers have long been willing to
listen to the clamor of the people and
grant them a loberal constitution, but
the house of knights. an institution
which greatly resembles the English
house of lords, objects, and as there is
no way Of getting around that objec-
ton the liberal members of the reich

WANT FEDERAL CONTROL
Desire Government to Relieve
Them From Freakish State Laws.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Repre-
sentatives of automobile owners of
the country appeared before the house
interstate commerce committee today
to advocate some sort of federal law
that would place them upon uni
form basis land relieve them from the
"freakish" operations of conflicting
laws of the various states. The fed
eral license bill, introduced by Rep
resentative Cocks of New York was
being considered.
l.. Speare, of Boston, president of
the American Automobile association,
opposed the provision that would reg
ulate the licensing of automobiles ac-
cording to horsepower. He explained
that machines of small power, but run
ming rapidly might do more damage
than a machine OF greater power
running at slower rate
1t was stated that the Cocks bill
would produce a million dollars an
nually in revenue for the federal gov
eminent through the license fee of
SIS for each machine. There are now
$4,000 machines in this country and
with the output of 1910 added, the
total would be about 100000. With
but one-third of this number taking
out federal licenses the government
would derive the large revenue stated
Edward S. Cornell, secretary of the
National Highways society, arrived
today to investigate proposed national
legislation for regulation of, automo-
bile traffic Mr. Cornell said tonight
that he found sentiment in Washing
ton to be against federal automobile
action at this time.
The bills now before congress, he
said, especially the Cocks bill, had
provisions that would destroy rights
of the states to cause the arrest of
an operator of car before an acct
dent occurred A motor car operator
travelling from one state to another
would, under this law, Mr.. Cornell
argued, be practically immune from
arrest by an officer of the United
States court.
